They can go into bankruptcy for all I care. Their inks are some of the highest priced on the market around here....A new set of inks for one of their cheaper color printers costs about the same as the printer itself. Just better off pitching the printer in the trash and buying a new one...
EXACTLY! While the special effects are VERY impressive, too many elements identical to Star Trek.....i.e. Galaxy, Sovereign, Miranda class vessels shown prominently in the video. Almost looks like some Star Trek effects people might have collaborated on this video...even the hand phaser beams rendered looked just like in the series....
Yes, it is insane, but they (FedEx) are betting that you don't have very deep pockets to challenge this and hope to bluff you into complying. (What would be legalese for saying "Take a long kiss at my a$$" to FedEx?:)
While alot of these dot-bombs had shaky business plans, if alot of these IPOs had happened around now (with broadband access more widespread) than back in the late 90's with mainly dialup access and a smaller computer user base, the casualty rate might not have been as bad. But some definitely tried to grow too quick (like Webvan).
Here is also MSNBC interactive of the shuttle launch...showing multiple camera angels INCLUDING the tank camera. From what I seen, the debris fell from the tank and did not get near the orbiter.
$.24 per copy??? Shoot, I can just put my photos on a CD-R after cleaning the pictures up and print them out at Walgreens for.19 a photo, and they look better! Have seen very few inkjets approach 'photo quality' output.
OMG...there is a lot of truth in that statement, depite the attempt at sarcasm....
You should see the amount of vehicls pulling trailers full of lawn mowers and week-eaters in this area where I live. No other well-paying jobs available
The article mentioned that Timex sued him over the word stealth pertaining to a line of watches. Here is the quote from the article:
"Mr. Stoller has sometimes been on the receiving end of lawsuits. In 1997, the watch maker Timex, which held a trademark for "stealth" watches, successfully sued him in federal court in Connecticut for trademark infringement. Mr. Stoller sold watches with that name after Stealth Industries, a company then run by his brother, Christopher Stoller, agreed in 1991 not to use the term with watches in return for $20,000 from Timex. (According to the judge's written opinion in that case, Leo Stoller was ousted from the company in a family dispute in 1990, but returned to take over in 1994.) A federal judge rejected Mr. Stoller's claim that the agreement made by his brother was invalid. "
Someone needs to sue this monkey into chapter 11 for wasting court tiem...
On Windows machines attached to a domain, you can have LOCAL admin accounts that do not login to the domain or you can have a DOMAIN account that you can login with, but that DOMAIN account or group still has to be given admin rights explicitly on that box itself. A domain ADMINISTRATOR account doesn't necessarily have administrator priviledges on a given machine. Domain administrator accounts are good for setting up accounts and rights/memberships, resetting passwords...
Not to mention accidentally typing a URL. A lot of pr0n sites will have their URLs very similar to a popular site URL, but with a letter or two off hoping someone will miss-type the URL and stumble onto the pr0n site...
You are right about that. The two BB stores here in my area are locally owned and are not participating in the 'No Late Fees' program. A lot of people were ticked off around here...

We did the same setup at our house. Luckily our sales person at Alltel advised us of the text charges if that service is used and we promptly promised to stick a foot in our boy's a** if we found a big charge for texting. Luckily, he is very mature for a 16 year old and appreciates what can happen (I hope):)
Very good point.....I for one am too broke to afford any tracking device or service to start with.....so had to fall back on plan B....told my stepson 'If you blow it up, start riding a bicycle until you come up with the money to fix it'. That seems to work as a deterrent for him although he might still get a little agressive with the gas pedal occasionally. But with the current price of gas and the gas money coming out of his pocket most of the time, the price of fuel is another deterrent to him abusing the truck.
There are already devices out there that don't require a third party to work. CarChip sells a device that plugs into the OBDI port on any late model car and will record 75 hours (the cheapest version does) of data including speed, RPM, etc. Unless the teen looks under the dash and knows what to look for, no one is the wiser.

Would be kinda hard to keep that sonic boom muffled down, unless someone has figured out a way around that...
You mean Catbert!
I guess it doesn't hurt to use what has worked in the past....the photo reminds me of the Apollo setup that they used to go to the moon originally.

LMAO! :P
The article is from the Onion website. Big tip-off there :)

I wonder what type of cooling system the person used? Had to be pretty radical to dissipate the heat that this setup probably created..

Yes, the object impacted wouldn't move...the car would just disintegrate in a shower of parts....
