You'll also notice that most maps are a Mercator Projection, which makes things pole-ish look really a lot larger than they actually are. For example, Greenland looks the size of Africa on most Mercator maps. In actuality, it is (839,999 sq miles) a little less then 1/4th the size of the USA (3,536,278 sq miles). If you take into account that it is only 19% usable, that leaves only 159,600 sq miles of habitable land, which is slightly larger than the state of California (but a lot less hospitable).
Lame replying to my own message, but I thought I'd share another tidbit.
VOD (on Comcast at least, and for now) is not encrypted, so if you have the equipment and a clue, you can pull the sream and do whatever you want with it, including transcoding and writing to DVD in HD. You just use your cable box to select and run the program you want recorded, find the chanel/PID, restart and record away. Screw those copy protection touting twits!
If you don't want to pay for VOD, you can watch what your neighbors are watching (and pausing, and rewinding). XD
Another suggestion is to buy a pad of small rubber feet, the kind you use for project boxes etc. The glue on those is like rubber cement and can be easily removed if it doesn't stick to the rubber. Guaranteed the light won't penetrate 1/4 inch of rubber.
I agree completely. I use the previous incarnation of this program (Tiny personal firewall, freeware if you can find it) and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. I use it on my mail machine to block all port 25 accesses from Asia and my spam load lightened greatly.
Of all the posts in this thread, only about 5 have a clue what's going on here, the rest have been hysterical rants about how this is going to break the internet, screw over the defendant and other such nonsense.
The defendant was agressively trying to steal this guys business which he's actively trying to relocate, but the defendant is jerking him around and generally acting like an ass.
The TRO was both justified and reasonable. Temporary routings are typical when a large netblock user moves to a new provider.
This guy was more then willing to continue paying them for the redirect service and had negotiated several times with them on contract terms which the defendant agreed to, then completely rewrote when they penned the agreement.
NAC is brutally trying to shut this guy down, at least according to his side of the story, so they can take over his business. He's trying to move to his own facility, but they are being complete dicks about facilitating the move, so a lawsuit was his only recourse. This is being discussed as if the internet routing structure was being attacked, or that he's trying to steal their old IP range. This is not the case. Read the court filings people.
I have a pair of these and I find them very uncomfortable. They create a pressure point where they fit in the ear if I put them in tight and they lose a lot of fidelity if I leave them loose. Perhaps I just have an unusually small ear opening.
That would probably be because he swapped it with a scratched up one he got at a yard sale. Somewhere he has a swell collection of your clean disks and is laughing at you and the scratched up ones he gave you back.:p
Women of the world, enlighten us with your bold new genre of videogames that we need to make especially for you? Seriously, I don't mean to be flip - what exactly DO you want?!?!
What, you mean all that time I've spent playing (insert PC game name) while talking to the other player via yahoo voice chat or roger wilco doesn't count? Or is it the couch part you think is revolutionary? Well, the ATI All-In-Wonder in my computer certainly managed to drive my big screen TV just fine. And all the wireless components let me drive it from the couch. Or is it the term console that makes it revolutionary? The Xbox is nothing more than a PC in a DRM skin.
{And, for the record, I'm Jewish, so don't bother accusing me of racism} Oh... my... god!!! You think because you're jewish, you can't be a racist??? WHAT A MORON!!!

If I hadn't learned my lesson from previous tragic disappoints of this ilk, I would be sporting a stiff joystick. ^_^

to the death!
No, it's a DVI-A to VGA adapter. The only thing it does is route the analog signals from a DVI-A/DVI-I connector to a HD-15 connector.
Plug one of those into a DVI-D port and you gonna get nothing.
I have a DVI->RGB adapter - Silicon Image CP905DVI. It may only be available to qualified hardware developers though :)
...on the internet.
And the Muslims screwed up so God send George W. Bush.
I pay twice and only get 80% of what Xbox and PS2 users get!
I hate SEGA.

Unfortunately they will be using Macrovision on the composite outputs, so your point isn't quite accurate.
And there are damn few component recorders available.
(I just implemented CGMS/A on a not to be named hardware platform, so I have some personal knowledge in this field)
Wow, a worthwhile response!
Yes, Bluetak doesn't leave (much) residue.

Complete jerk is what I'd call the defendant.

Moderators, please mod it up!
What makes you think that a super smart mouse would put up with that kind of abuse?

Yes, but what if one is not a christian and they don't believe a whit of what is written in the New Testament?
I just performed a search at uspto.com for the term "UCSD" and as far as I can tell, that particular set of letters is NOT registered as a trademark.
IANAL, but it sems like absent a trademark registration, their claim is void.

It's like saying "yes he beats me with a board with a nail sticking out of it, but he sometimes offers to put a band-aide on the wound."

You should just know - you shouldn't need to ask!
It's not the size of the thrusters, it's the length of it's operation!

Get a clue, willya?
