My Tivo often records shows for me that I find very interesting. Of course the first month or so I had it, it recorded odd things as it nailed down what I like.
Oh.. and I rolled on the remote one night and switched it to the spanish channel.. took a while to convince it I didn't want Telemundo.
I used to be so addicted to this game. Played whenever I could. Simple and yet massively fun. Great.. now I have to download the latest version and play just one game..
Of course, if you want to get REALLY technical, the only thing anyone can prove is that they exist. Cogito Ergo Sum. I think therefore I am. It runs like this:
I am having thought. I know I am having thoughts. Therefore something must be having these thoughts and I will call this "I". Thefore "I" exists. Beyond that you can't _prove_ anything else. It might be the matrix for all you know.
They did do the Cola and bloodstains and rust... turns out it was marginally better than water at cleaning blood, but it cleaned the chrome on a car better than the chrome cleaner product that they had! Very cool show.
I'm not so sure about that. I've got 5 cats and two dogs, and the most foul smelling excrement definately comes from the dogs. Of course, the cats use the litter box, which is filled with Arm and Hammer litter which does a good job of controlling oder (but come on, five cats!) Even outside when one of the dog lays down a pile it's rank... even from 25 feet away (they length of the leash)
And when they're bad enough to go inside.. uggghhhh.
of course when the cats are mad they pee on things.. and for some reason when they're mad it smells MUCH worse.
you want an answer? A- remove the airbags and trigger sensors from your car... or B- drive like a sane person.
those are your two choices..pick one.
Why can't I do both? I'm a sane driver but I still don't like privacy invasion being taken for granted. The whole "I've got nothing to hide!" argument just doesn't work for me.
I love my 300 as well, but as we speak I'm waiting for UPS to deliver me a new one. Two days ago the flip top snapped completely off taking the speaker with it. While I can do everything else with it, I can't use the phone which is a major problem. Oh well, it was still under warrenty so the replacement is free. Hopefully I'll be back up and running tomorrow!
So I'm torn on the flip top. I love the see through part, reading ebooks is the best part, but it's definately a weak link.
Totally off topic, but don't think that Communism is even good in theory! It totally ignores human nature, and as such will never ever ever ever work. If I had a theory about how I could jump and fly to the moon (if I ignore gravity) it's a crappy theory and....
Right, because people who listen to 128kbps MP3s are really concerned over a slight loss is quality. Ummm... no. If people are fine with using low quality (128) MP3s, a single instance of digital->analog->digital isn't going to bother them either.
So, in other words, a human life to you is worth less than your property? What a humanitarian.
Actually, I believe the point here is that the people who go about robbing houses knowing full well they might get killed if cought in the act are the ones who made the decision that their life is worth less than the my property they plan on stealing. They've put the value of my property over their own lives.
You don't know their intentions. You don't know what they're planning on doing. I plan on shooting to kill anyone who has broken inside of my house. Hey, it's their decision that led to their death, not mine. Would I rather not have to do that? Absolutely. So stay out of my house.
Just because you don't want a multi-purpose device doesn't mean that I don't! You are more than welcome to walk around with an mp3 player, portable dvd player, palm pilot, laptop, digital camera, and cell phone all strapped to you if you wish. Or whatever subset you actually use. But for those of us that want to be able to carry every around in one package, let us! That's why people sell different products: different people want different things!
I recently got to ditch my palm pilot and cell phone in exchange for a Handspring Treo 300. So in that one device I've got phone, PDA, wireless internet and portable email. I think it's the greatest thing ever. If the Archos also did PDA and cell functionality you'd bet I'd have one in a heartbeat.
The ability to only carry around one device that could do everything I need in a portable unit is very appealing to me.
I travel quite a bit. My girlfriends parents love to see pictures that she's taken with her digital camera. So we'll go to their computer, copy the images over and sit around their 15" monitor watching it.
With this beast I could load all our pictures on there and sit in front of their 36" tv and have everything there instantly! I could take my video library with me to hotel so I'd have movies to watch instead of flipping through unfamiliar channels. I could watch a movie or listen to some music on a plane without relying on whatever THEY decide to show.
I, for one, DO want an all-in-one device. No one's making you use it. So just use the device(s) that are right for you!
I was on Nextel using an i85s which has "Direct Connect" until I switched to a Treo on Sprint.
Anyway, PTT is one thing I miss terribly. A good number of my friends and family are on Nextel. The ability to be able to buzz someone and speak and then turn off is very convienent. It's sorta like IM in that respect. You can say something and not have to wait on the line until the other person responds. My brother and I used this feature when we were setting up a wifi run that was two miles long. We could have sat there with the phone on all the time, but instead we just got to push give the information we needed and wait without keeping the phone up to our ears.
Oh, and Direct Connect doesn't HAVE to be on a speaker system.... I never had mine do that unless I was by myself (apartment, car, etc)
The cost effective GeForce4 MX 440SE maintains a memory bandwidth of 2.15GB per second, allowing for rendering complex 3D sceneries. The NVIDIA nViewâ Multi-Display feature can allow for simultaneous TV Out through the onboard RCA and S-Video connectors.
A lot of people really detest the diamond industry. I for one hate DeBeers, even more than I dislike Microsoft. At least Microsoft doesn't use slave labour, murder people, and abuse their workers. It's hard to justify a shiny peice of carbon with an artifically high price on it when you look at all the human rights violations the companies that mine them cause.
I know there's sociatal pressures that say you need to have a diamond. And why? Because DeBeers invented it!

I'm on the complete other side.

Crap!

Okay, my apologies. Some people DO like to get that technical.
There exists thoughts.
I am defining these thoughts as "I".
Therefore "I" exists.
Better?

But no one likes to get that technical.
I told my copy of Mozilla to identify itself as IE and that site worked fine for me. Made me angry that I had to go through that.
Hehe.. actually I remember reading slashdot for a while before I even bothered to get an account. Funny now, 'eh?
Shhhhhh...
They did do the Cola and bloodstains and rust... turns out it was marginally better than water at cleaning blood, but it cleaned the chrome on a car better than the chrome cleaner product that they had! Very cool show.
except the word "verb" is a noun....
20 seconds.... la la la la la wheee

But no doubt about it. Dog Poop is the worst.

it's a "Speed Limit" not a "Slow Limit" (Okay, on most highways in the US there is a Minimum Speed: 40)
Anyway, there's always reasons for not doing the speed limit. Rain, snow, sleet, visibility, trailers, etc. etc.

Right, component, not composite. Mea culpa.
RCA == Component out, no?

IIRC, they changed their name and became famous. I believe they're called "Bare Naked Ladies" now.

There's one link, I'm sure you can find more with a quick google.
Amazing. They're serious. I just don't understand how they could possibly believe that. It makes my head spin.
Insanity.
