In fact, I actually use this Seagate U series 5 hard drive that was in my Dish PVR 501 in my computer now.
First, I had to get the case of the PVR open with a screwdriver that was just different enough from my other screwdrivers that I almost stripped the screws on the blasted thing. But I found a screwdriver that fit perfectly and had the cover to the thing open very quickly.
After that, It was a simple matter of taking out the HDD enclosure and the drive itself, detaching the ribbon cable and then trying to get it to work in my computer.
My old BIOS from '99 didn't recognize this 40GB hard drive so I had to update the BIOS. I found a forum where there are many knowledgeable, kind BIOS geeks and they helped my update the BIOS.
Now that my BIOS could recognize it, it was time to get windows to recognize it! I tried partitioning it with fdisk (to encounter only one of many fdisk limitations) and it only saw 10% of the total capacity of the drive. No go.
So I tried Seagate's DiscWizard (starter edition). It partitioned, formatted (fat32 for win98 of course), and copied not only all my old files over to this new drive, but even the MBR (Master Boot Record) as well so I could easily boot to the new drive.
After blind (no tables, charts, or clues as to how to set the old hdd to secondary/slave) jumper setting the old hard disk to secondary/slave and the new one to primary/master I was ready to go.
This new drive is SO MUCH QUIETER than my old drive. Plus, it's faster as well (not to mention its 10x greater capacity).
Even when it used to be used in the PVR it wasn't much louder than any VCR I've used. So this was a great deal to be able to use a 'worthless' PVR (after switching back to DirecTV from DISHNetwork) or I lucked out on the quality of the Seagate drive!
The cheepest GPS unit out there (besides the obsolete stuff) is the Garmin eTrex ("lil" yellow base model). It goes for around $80-$120 (used-new) on ebay and is around $115-$125 brand spanking new in stores and catologues. The cable to connect it to pc's can be very inexpensive if you built it yourself. It has various connect modes and could possibly connect to Streetfinder (conformation please?).
Wouldn't you rather pull out your cell phone and have direct access to a human being manning either 911 or the poison control center? (or your local equivalents) That live person would be able to provide or dispatch immediate help that you would not get through an Internet connection.
That would be must more efficient at getting help than throught the internet...
In saving lives, time is of the essence and I wouldn't want to look something up only to find out that my time was wasted and that I should have either gone straight to the hospital or called the paramedics instead.
...but, I believe that if you were stranded, say on a mountain, and only had a wireless internet device/cell phone, you could get help and possibly save your own life or the live of those with you. We may be in a techno-centric society where the world seems overcrowded, but there are still remote places out there that we could get into trouble and communication with the 'outside' world is vital to those in the 'true boondocks' (as opposed to the rural/populated boondocks).
Actually if you do it that way there will still be the string "Opera" in your user agent (go ahead and try it).
With the proxy way, you can have it any way you want with out the "Opera" in there which sites will (unfortuatly block).
If you look closely, you'll notice my user agent string has 0pera not Opera (pera vs. pera).
This way works better and gets around the evil sites that block Opera. If I wanted I could leave out the opera part altogether but I'd like those who actually review the logs to see Opera Rules!
I also find it odd that the author listed Mouse Guestures under "Cons" if he turned them off and didnt have to worry about them if he didn't like them.
If, on the other hand, he did find them useful (I sure do) then he would have that option.

That seems to work quite well:) Go Webwasher! (or any proxy that spoofs user agents!)

Would man against fate/god fit into any of those or is that one you left out?
...to be misleading. Well, actually only 100% of statistics are misleading.

SimCommunity was great (just like simcity), plus the TI-86 can play TI-85 programs so it also has a SimCity game (of the same name) both are great!

I guess he's not pro-choice
I've noticed some sites intentionally block/cripple Opera.
To get around that you can use a proxy and change your user agent string to:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Actually 0pera 6.03)
(or something similar...)
And fool 'dem com-pee-u-ters!

It will skip if the drive is fragmented.
Using a Defragging tool on the drive should help stop the skipping, and a new charge / new batteries should help as well.
