Seriously, I know what you mean. I went to a Bif Naked concert with my girlfriend. The venue was quite small, and the sound level was easily for a place which could hold 10-20 times as many people.
I have it setup on my WIndows XP machine and Mac OS X machine. I work on my XP box during the day (for work) and can take advantage of a few utilities on the Mac if I want. very nice.
In the evening I hit the button on the KVM and change a desktop setting on the mac and use it as a dual-monitor setup.
(Thereby ignoring the XP machine when not required.)
It's too bad it is still beta on the Mac, I think it caused my Mac to die the other day. (First time I saw the graphics clear off the screen with text scrolling down.. was ugly.)
I second this. I bought a Canon (S330) printer over a year ago and it has continued to serve me well, the Black ink cartridges are CHEAP ($10CDN!!!). They don't last terribly long, but I figure 2 cartridges are about equivalent to 1 HP for my old printer. And a lot cheaper.
The only problem I have with it is I don't print very much most of the time. (And when I do it's typically a few hundred pages at once). So a couple of black ink cartridges have dried up on me.
That said, the cartridge dried up, but the print-head seems fine. The printer was cheap, prints fast and quiet.
Tivo uses MPEG-2, which means it is likely they could upload a file-converted (but not recompressed) DVD movie with the original quality intact. That would put it at about 2G/hour.
My dad bought a similar lock, it was used to lock the shed for years, and we didn't discover the flaw for a whole. I needed a lock for my chain bike lock and I grabbed that one (long after it was no longer used) and quickly found out that shaking it would allow it to be unlocked.
A few years later at college the locker next to mine had the same lock on it, I laughed when I saw it and mentioned to a friend of mine that you could just shake it to unlock it. He didn't believe me, so I reached over and shook it for a couple seconds and it popped open.
My friend wrote a nice note and left it in the guys locker
I think he means that I can't use my IDE drives in my G5 (1.6Ghz with the massively heavy aluminum case) for example.
So I bought 2 enclosures and have them hooked up via Firewire and, in the case of one of them formatted as FAT32 so I can use it on any computer, turned out better than I could have hoped.
side note: I had to format the drive on the Mac, because Windows XP won't let you format a 120G drive as FAT32.
Seriously the Mac -may- have issues with hardware people have lying around, but damn, when it works it is sweeeet.
Sure, no problem, but the 2 USB ports only meeting the 1.1 spec won't do USB High-speed.
So type distinction is relevant. Although I wonder about the reason behind offering so many ports anyway. Seems to me I have just enough devices to require at least 1 HUB meeting USB 2.0 spec, in which case it doesn't matter if there are 2, or more on the machine itself.
Hmm, would be nice if you could connect multiple USB ports to a single HUB and have it act like a switch using whichever USB port was available...
If your willing to put up with some hassle you can get Tivo's working in Canada.
I am very hopeful I can take advantage of this new feature, I would like to be able to transfer programs between my Tivo, my parents and my girlfriend.
I've been using Mac OS X 10.3 since November. (Before that I did not have a Mac, but I have owned and built several PCs). Apple has done a very good job of implementing 3D Graphics card enhancements into their GUI. Very little of the effects are really what I would call eye-candy. They actually serve a purpose. Even when minimizing to the Dock (task bar) the gui effect lets you know where on the Dock the application went. It is so fast and smooth that it does NOT impact the CPU in the least.
A friend of mine, who loves to bug me about my buying a Mac, spent about 5 minutes sitting at my desk and drooled over the 'eye-candy'. He saw how useful features like Expose was, and how smooth it was and was in awe. I've seen a couple of programs implement Expose like functionality on Windows and the fact is they do not work well at all. Until Microsoft implements an interface like Apple has they will be limited in the effects they can do. Effects that do serve a purpose to subtly inform the user of events.
First, If they sold 1 million in the first week, then 52 million in the first year would be an indicator their sales were flat. 70 million is above that.
Seconds, the 'twice as long' link is 16 days total for 2 million, that includes the first million and therefor it took 16 days to get 2 million sales (it would have required 21 days for it to be twice as long for the second million). Only slightly longer than for the first million.
back/forward control is actually within the website designers control. Typically if it is forcing a reload it is because the website was designed to force a reload on the page and the browser will not use the cached version. It actually is working as intended.
It is perfectly legal for me to do any business I want with Cuba, I can travel there for any reason, etc. It is illegal for the U.S. to impose it's laws against a Canadian company, even if it is a subsidiary of an American company.
Basiclly it means the president of a Canadian (registered) company can get into big trouble by dealing, or not dealing with CUba. It all depands on who you ant to piss off more.
DNA can be faked, no problem. You can have any sequence of DNA produced, they make machines which do exactly that. Once they have a DNA profile on record they just need to re-produce the sequence and dump it at a scene.
Probably easier to fake than a fingerprint; assuming other validation controls are not in place.

It may not currently have what you need or want, but that should improve over time.
Slashdot Mirror
The question is, was the raid performed by the FBI, for the FBI, or was the FBI invited in for their expertise?
Often experts from various law enforcement agencies are invited to participate in foreign countries.
So what your saying is, the girl said No.
Seriously, I know what you mean. I went to a Bif Naked concert with my girlfriend. The venue was quite small, and the sound level was easily for a place which could hold 10-20 times as many people.
You mean having to read header files isn't end-user documentation?
(don't even ask me about installing MythTV on a machine with 100% Linux compatibility... UGH!) (I'm sure it's me...)
It's worth a story if only to get 200 people telling him he hasn't even STARTED yet.
See, thats the problem... I -am- running Panther.
I was busy with something else and powered off the machine because I couldn't take the time to check into it. Hopefully it won't happen again.
Synergy rocks.

I don't like Bob.
I don't want him as my Uncle.
Can we negotiate that part?
The best part?
My computer uses 2 of them.
Mac OS X uses CR, and LF, depending on whether the file is used for Mac OS, or Unix purposes.
This means if you use something other than VI for editing files you have to be very careful it supports LF format.

1G and hour on the lowest quality setting.

Maybe it's just me being paranoid, but, this looks like a setup.
I mean, poor english, no train of thought and a site with a single blog topic.
Sounds like Microsoft advertising department to me. (trying desperately to not be an ad).
Canada is looking to do this because it is a requirement imposed on us by the United States.

And I, as the end user, can trust the measurement of the software ' cpu usage, how?

Canada has a similar law in regards to Cuba.
It is perfectly legal for me to do any business I want with Cuba, I can travel there for any reason, etc. It is illegal for the U.S. to impose it's laws against a Canadian company, even if it is a subsidiary of an American company.

Bull. Normal people haul subwoofers in the trunk...not leaving enough room for a computer.
