yea, comcast is the same with the 1 GB per month limit, but I really doubt they check it, seeing as between me and my roomate, we probably hover around 5 GB per month...
i know that.....what i'm wondering, and forgot to mention... since they have a bandwidth restriction here...will we see them re-arrange their service with a lot less channels at the standard price, so that they can allow bandwidth for the premium channels?
For XM or sirius to broadcast more channels, they're going to need more bandwidth...they're pushing the limits as is currently, with all the other stuff that has to be broadcast along with the music...any more and it will start to degrade the quality of service
Typically (I know in the case of GM vehicles...that the service is included for the first year. Of course you are kind of covering the cost with paying for the car....
Marijuana, my opinion on the subject is irrelevant, is not a priority in this country. It's still considered a drug, its prohibition "worked" and didn't cause a massive revolt like alcohol's did, and it's not terribly important (medical use is another thread totally).
Prohibition worked? hardly...just like the bootleggers of old, there are many people trafficking and using marijuana. And to say it's not an important subject could definately be debated, with the amount of research done on marijuana's effects and uses each year. Alcohol is not terribly important either. Arguably, alcohol poses more problems (health and socially) than marijuana. Alcohol IS addictive. Sure, consumption of alcohol and smoking marijuana both cause cancer. So simply either extract THC, or make butter, brownies, teas, etc. No shown danger of cancer there.
So just because marijuana is a drug, that means it should be illegal? Alcohol is a drug, as is nicotine (which is more addictive than heroine i might add)
Marijuana legalization IS a big topic these days. The government is also missing out on a lot of money here, and I'm surprised it hasn't been legalized for that reason alone.
Another thing, with the state of farming in America as it is, that would be an easily grown crop that could help rejuvenate that industry. It can be grown in anywhere in the U.S., although Northern states would have a shorter growing season.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now....
BTW, I have not used marijuana for about 2 years now.
analyze that data...why not throw in GPS to constantly track you
help them catch criminals, right?
just because we can - doesn't mean we should.
yea, i know. way off-topic.
I do however agree that motorcyclists should have the option of a helmet. Most every rider I know would not pass on a helmet (and you can go without on in PA, after 2 years experience) It's just ignorant to not wear one, but at that point, you should probably be eliminated from the gene pool
when i was a young lad, me and my family would go out on camping trips and my uncle would set up 'quests' for me and my cousins.
we had a map and a compass. we would get a starting point and a clue. the clues would be riddles and the like.
it was always a blast, we were normally sent all over the park, finding more clues, all on the way to get a prize, which would normally be a couple bucks or something for ice cream.
it was always a blast, and kept us busy, and out of the parents hair for normally a few hours.
seems like a similar thing here, just a lil simpler. maybe someone could make it a bit more interesting than "here, plug these coordinates in, and follow the map" throw in a couple of way points, some clues, riddles, hints and all that...now that would be worthwhile...
sure, you can format a HD a bazillion ways, but the analogy you are looking for would be more of a interface thing.
like IDE vs. SCSI
or how about different memmory types?
eventualy, i think we will see one type of removeable media win this out.
personally, i'd like to see cameras, pdas and the like be able to store info on something like a USB thumb drive, compatible with anything that has a USB port...
Slashdot Mirror
what if they are going about their stealing by a means of threatening you with a weapon, as is the case with most burglaries...

einstein suffered terribly in school, guess that makes him a moron too, eh?
Or maybe you should have put some more thought in before replying...and making yourself look like a moron.

You're talking about andrew's leap, correct?

i too have washed my ion and also will say, this pen absolutely does not leak. Just the right size for pocket use, and the key chain is great.
The availablity of various colored inks is a nice added benefit, not to mention a life-time warranty.
Here's a vote for all corss pens, not just the ion (which is in whatever pants pocket i happen to be wearing)
wondering myself
check out this work of ryan's...
excellent point....and lately it just becomes more apparant how messed up this country really is.
actually, it's an issue for anyone that wants to follow their right to live and pursue happiness.

microsoft and security are normally only in the same sentance to when refering to the lack of said security.
