If you don't want your email on them, I don't care. I just wanted to provide a way to let people claim credit for their designs on the shirts in some way and have a method of contacting the designer after seeing the shirt.
I can have 35 ways to get to Minneapolis, but if the city is destroyed, or the place I want to visit inside the city closed down, they don't do much good.
The "Mindrover" game provides a 3D simulation of the game you'd like. You build your robots and program them, then test them against others. Robots can be distributed to other competitors either closed(binary only) or open sourced(including the logic). Game is available at: http://www.cognitoy.com/mindrover/mindrover.htm
I'm the author of PHPTriad and would like to point out that I've got a testing version of PHPTriad 2.0 available which I consider much more stable and complete than the version that download.com is pointing to. It's linked from a news story on www.phpgeek.com.
The problem in places other than California is that other than my own home and my workplace, pretty much anywhere I go, I'm where someone is choosing to indulge their habit. As it is a health hazard, places for the general public, if they allow general smoking, are making a smoky environment for the majority of people. For the record, I used to smoke.
And in how many of those restaurants was the air in the smoking section physically seperate from the air in the non-smoking section? Without physical seperation a smoking section in a restaurant is like a peeing section in a public pool: it's a nice concept, but it doesn't work.
"What is the problem here?" The problem is that for some (my wife included) the presence of second-hand smoke is a matter of allergic reactions and extreme physical discomfort and illness. Your "CHOOS[ing]" is infringing on the physical well being of others around you. It's not a matter of liking or disliking.
I appreciate that you make the effort to keep it away. I make an effort to clean up the feces my dog leaves on the sidewalk. Does that mean there shouldn't be a rule against just leaving it there?
8cm CD-R is only $0.85 for 185 MB/21 min audio. I love them; they fit in a pocket and hold enough MP3's/OGG's to be useful. Most CD-ROM drives, tray CD players and portable CD players as well as a few 8cm CD and MP3 specific portables play them as well. That is part of why MD didn't take off. You can only play it in the one specific device you have to pay through the nose for.
Exactly. The only adjectives which would be visual would be colors and levels of brightness. Any other descriptions of objects can be experienced by touch or other senses.
IANAL. That's it. All I have to say. I figure if everyone else can say that followed by nothing of importance, I'd just drop the pretense and actually say nothing.
What about the DishPlayer500 sitting in my entertainment center? It gets service through MS WebTV PersonalTV. Direct from Dish MPEG streaming to hard drive. I've had it since Nov with virtually no problems.
Submitted but rejected. I saw a poster for a movie this weekend that had some pretty detailed rendering of the character faces. The trailer looks like it might be an entertaining movie. Check it out at www.shrek.com.
I'm used to it. After all, I use PHP/MySQL on . . . Windows. Oh no, the horrors!
Maybe I'll get off easy since I actually give the money to dishnetwork. What they do with it after is none of my business.:) I can pretty much guarantee that a portion of the money that most/.'ers spend is going to pay for Windows/Office licenses somewhere in the company's structure.
Also thought I'd add that it has RCA inputs on the front which lets me dump video from my Hi8 camcorder and then do poorman's editing to VHS by skipping around the footage.
There's the third option that I hadn't heard of until I was in the store a week ago. The DishPlayer. I went in to buy a Dishnetwork satellite system intending to get the $199 - $199 rebate = $0 dish system with free installation etc. As I was standing and looking at the choices, I noticed a bullet item on a $199 dish that said "17GB hard drive". I picked up the display unit and looked through the top grill. Sure enough, there's the hard drive. I asked around, since the Replay's and Tivo's on the end of the same shelf were $299-$399 and they doublechecked the price.
It uses WebTV's "Personal TV" service at $10/month. So, I basically got a satellite system and digital recorder for free. How's that for a price point?
It is missing some features that Tivo has that I'd like. (I had been planning to get a dish and then a Tivo. I may still get a Tivo.) For instance, it doesn't have the learning AI or a great "season ticket" type feature (basically will record same time/channel weekly), but the recording is integrated into the dish's channel browsing and searches. I'd also like to be able to do more multiplexing (ie, watching something different than I'm recording). It directly streams the MPEG-2 video from the dish to the disk, so recorded programs look virtually identical to the live version. Also, pausing live TV is only limited by disk space, unlike what I've heard about Tivo (30 min). There is a site (can't find URL right now) indicating basic hacks of this thing, basically replacing the 17GB with a larger disk. I may try an 80GB which would boost the recording time from 12hrs to 56hrs or so.
If I was so inclined, the Dishplayer also does WebTV access and there is an IR keyboard for that or searching the TV listings.
Overall, I think the integration of these things with dishes works well since the dishes are so closely tied to the service model and contracts. To me and others getting the dish, the cost of Personal TV is about the same as one of the movie packages on my bill.

Not only did they not ask for it when I voted (Minneapolis, MN), but turned my driver's license away when I offered it. I was first in line to vote and had my license out. When they opened the polls, I stepped up and held it out. She waved it away and asked my name.
You need a better contract. Unless my time is being specifically paid for or I'm using company resources to create the work (code or book), they don't own it.
Of course they're telling you it gets worse. If you live your life where being prom queen and scoring the winning touchdown at homecoming are the most important thing in the world, then it is going to head downhill from there. After all, how many of those prom queens can make it on their looks for 20 more years. How many of those high school football players can cut it in college much less as a pro. No, those folks peak at graduation. I'm 25 and am happier than I could have ever imagined in jr high and high school. I'd much rather deal with the gas company and mortgage than high school BS. After all, at least the gas company's rules don't change arbitrarily.
For some reason, the actual composition of the Supreme Court gets lost in this. 7 of the current 9 justices were appointed by Republicans. And, Souter(sp), one of the most conservative was appointed only after . . . Al Gore cast the deciding vote in his favor. Way more was made of the potential radical change in the Supreme Court to be made by Bush. The simple fact is that Congress needs to approve of all appointments to the Supreme Court.
I was first in my district in Minneapolis. I had to wait 10 minutes for the polls to open, but after that was out very quickly. My wife had to register(she forgot to check the box when she changed her driver's lic.) and was done in 10 minutes as well. As I was leaving, the line was starting to form.
