I normally never buy those types of extended warranties. It's been my experience that (with electronics), the part either works and lasts forever or it's broken out of the box.
One exception -- I received an iPod for my birthday. It's the 20GB model and my wife purchased it at CompUSA. The extended warranty they sell you for the iPod is the same warranty they sell you for a regular 20 GB hard drive. So, for $20 it's really not a bad deal for an extra year of coverage.
My wife is an HR director for an non-profit agency. They have just made the conversion to an entirely web-based payroll and benefits system. This system will only work on IE and with Windows. We had to spend $200 on Virtual PC for the Mac so that she could do work at home.
No only does this contain everyone's payroll information but also medical information, what benefits they have signed up for, bank routing information, etc...
I agree that the Post Office has no buisness becoming involved in "Terminal to Terminal" communication.
However, it does raise an interesting point. How soon until the goverment deems various telecomunication services "essential" and assumes control of those services?
[French kiosque, from Turkish kök, from Middle Persian gshak, corner, from Avestan *gaoshaka-, diminutive of gaosha-, ear.]
Word History: The lowly kiosk where newspapers are sold or advertisements are posted is like a child in a fairy tale raised by humble parents but descended from kings. The word kiosk was originally taken into English from Turkish, in which its source kök meant "pavilion." The open structures referred to by the Turkish word were used as summerhouses in Turkey and Persia. The first recorded use of kiosk in English (1625) refers to these Middle Eastern pavilions, which Europeans imitated in their own gardens and parks. In France and Belgium, where the Turkish word had also been borrowed, their word kiosque was applied to something lower on the scale, structures resembling these pavilions but used as places to sell newspapers or as bandstands. England borrowed this lowly structure from France and reborrowed the word, which is first recorded in 1865 with reference to a place where newspapers are sold.
"Many people have complained about the screensaver aspect of the Casino-21 client, and rightfully so. Screensavers only run when a computer has been idle for a period of time, are resource-hungry and place a limit on the platforms that can be supported. A background client will run whenever there is spare processing power, can be made more efficient than a screensaver and will support many more platforms. Following all of your suggestions, the Casino-21 client will be designed to run in the background. An additional client will be provided to view the progress of your climate simulation, and will be able to be run in screensaver mode when applicable."
I like your flippant comment -- "But yes, it did litter the countryside with radioactive material."
According to many reports:
30 killed immediately
15,000 relief workers killed
50,000 relief workers invalid
5 million exposed to radiation
52,000 fled the area around Chernobyl

I was under the impression that it was actually a fineable offense for Telemarketers to knowingly call a cell phone number.
This was the first site to pop up on Google to have information about cell phones and telemarketers: Californians Against Telephone Solicitation
I'm sure the FCC has more info.

Linger longer?
"I'll bet most of those files sold were sold to Mac users."

Good point...Seeing how the service is only available to Mac users running OS X.

This is probably the only viable alternative.

Seven minutes to install...not start.
Don't mind if I do!
Actually, Fry's Electronics and Outpost.com sell this:
VIA EPIA-800 Mini ITX
It's a motherboard and CPU combo in a mini-ITX form factor.
Man --- This is killing me....What game is that from?
It gets worse...

I'm glad she is looking for another job.

I imagine my wife and I may be the first to go to jail...
This past weekend we sold our stereo, VCR, DVD player, and (gasp!) the television.
We were tired of being surrounded with this "stuff" and it just became more of a time sink.
As of now (9:00 PM Tuesday), the link to the rebate form is broken.
Anyone else have this problem?
I think the acronymn the previous poster is searching for is:
SIMD: Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data
The AltiVec unit in the PowerPC is a SIMD vector processor.

From the United Newton Network Archives:
Can I use my Newton as a Web Server?
Yes, there is software called Newton Personal Data Sharing (NPDS) that does that.
You can also use a NotesWeb by T. Kuwabara

I have seen a few posts regaurding where to purchase the SS40G.
The only place that I have found that even lists this model is NewEgg.
Price is $350.00 and the system is scheduled to be in stock on 6/3/2002.
You can sign up for an email notification when it arrives.
PS:
Here is the link to the preview clip: Doom III : The Legacy movie, as shown at E3: QuickTime version (93MB)
In the "Doom III - Legacy" preview video, Trent Reznor discusses his involvement in this sequel. Cool.
Shuttle has already announced plans to buid a "shoebox" computer (SS40) to support AMD processors.
Specs are here:
They probably work in the US Senate or as part of the current corrupt Bush administration.

So...Running the screen saver is not necessary.
