The means to record and share recordings of lectures have been around for quite a while. I know back in the dark ages when I was in school, most profs already had policies in regards to this. Why would doing this with an ipod as opposed to a tape recorder be any different?
That just happened to me replacing an inverter in a laptop. The new inverter was a touch wider than the old one. If I screwed it down, it wouldn't fit under the bezel. But everything was really tight in there, so I hooked it up, set it in place and just put the bezel back in.
If it had been much bigger though, I would have had to find a different part.
After my post above- I tried another route. I googled 'Gateway FPD1730'. That got me a hit with a list that had two part numbers - LG708G and LG708K (the second for the TFT model I think). I googled on LG708G and got the ambit part number 6633TZA013A. I googled on that- along with AMBIT and that got me two links that sell the part: lcdpart.com (which has already been mentioned)
moniserv.com looks like it is the same price from them.
I checked ebay real quick but didn't see anything-- but I really didn't look too hard.
Last week my dad called me and said his laptop screen went out. I don't usually mess with hardware so I told him to take it to Best Buy and have them look at it.
He took it in - they said the LCD was bad and it would be about $600 to replace. He called me and I told him not to do it and I'd look into it.
I called them and the salesman told me it was probably not the LCD and that I should check the inverter first. He told me one place to get parts was Bliss Computers
I didn't have the laptop on hand, didn't have part numbers, so I checked e-bay and found an inverter there for $40 (including shipping). Another LCD site had instructions on removing the bezel.
I took my time since I'd never done this before and so it took twice as long as it should have. In 10 minutes I had fixed it.
They provide a slew of services. My company pays them for bankruptcy scrubbing. The primary identifier used is the SSN. We send them name, address, ssn all that and they send us back hits where the people have filed bankruptcy, when they filed, etc. They are huge.
with a winmodem is related to my laptop. It has a lucent chipset. I'm not sure if this is helpful but I have no problem getting up to date binary packages of drivers for this modem. (Right now I run FC3 and the modem works- installed with an rpm package- I consider that pretty current).
I was just playin' around w/the slashdupe. I had to pick a good post that got modded up. It was only a matter of time before somebody figured it out and as you can see the net effect on my karma was anything but positive. You had a great post so I figured it had the best chance of doing what I wanted. I hope you are not too upset. I even threw in the deal on dupes into my sig. Can't take ourselves too seriously around here.
It's a gaming device. I don't care what Kaz "The button isn't supposed to line up over its contact, because we designed it that way" Harai says. It's a gaming device, with some extra functions I'm not interested in.
MP3 playback? I could get an iPod for a little more, and save thousands of dollars in memory sticks to get the capacity I'd want. If I want something to play music on, I'll get something with that purpose designed into it, and not one where I need to buy hundreds of Sony Memory Stick Duos at their outrageous prices to fit all my music on. 40 GB of Memory Stick Duos is over $10K... no thanks, I'll spend $400-$500 on an iPod first.
Movie playback? I don't feel like buying my movies AGAIN on another proprietary format just to be able to watch them on the go. I can get a portable DVD player, and have all my DVD extras (because I'm fairly certain all the bonus features I buy DVDs for won't be on UMDs), and not have to buy my movies all over again.
So, yeah, it's a gaming device, with other things thrown on top to try and justify the price and the hype. It's also how Sony really hopes that they can sell tons and tons of Memory Sticks.
yeah - eastern orthodox. and though it may imperil my karma-- it was a joke though somebody thought it was insightful. oh well-- what are you gonna do? Karma is fitting I guess since this balances out the times I was modded down unfairly (in my mind).
Icons were a big issue in the great schism. But I am not eastern orthodox or roman catholic so I could have botched up the whole thing entirely. My apologies if this is so.

A History of Icons

in the history of icons-- I would suggest the following site as a good source of information and examples.
Was this last sunday - maybe it is an annual holiday type thing. (Yes I know-- they aren't related but shouldn't they be?)
The dominant theme of this Sunday since 843 has been that of the victory of the icons. In that year the iconoclastic controversy, which had raged on and off since 726, was finally laid to rest, and icons and their veneration were restored on the first Sunday in Lent. Ever since, that Sunday been commemorated as the "triumph of Orthodoxy."
Orthodox teaching about icons was defined at the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787, which brought to an end the first phase of the attempt to suppress icons. That teaching was finally re-established in 843, and it is embodied in the texts sung on this Sunday.
It took me a while to start getting invites. Then as I gave them out, I picked up more. But even when I got 5 at a time it was getting hard to give them away. I sent some to myself to set up a few accounts for different purposes and now I have around 150 invites that I can't unload. I quit trying a long time ago.
I worry about all those Foes and Freaks-- I worry about the Fans too. I mean, they are just stalkers in the making-- putting their little colored dots around my name.
I asked my mom what I should do and she said not to go to 'slushdort' any more but uncle troll said if I don't log in every day and keep visiting him at the holiday inn on week-end he'll hurt mister chips.
These laws can only make the world a better place. If you are against them, you are against everything that is good.
It's not a scam-- it's a well known way of selling a product. And if you go to the store you will usually see generic razors right next to the brand name razors. This case was about making it illegal to manufacture or use generic razors, to continue your metaphor.
As for printing less-- that's the part that makes me think your trolling more than just being dumb. I was gonna go home and print a few thousand man pages but now that you've shown me that the planet will be denuded in less than 100 years I wont. wow. and you've been modded up. now it is funny.
nope. been to pusan- thought it was nice but I was only there a few days. Where I live those things are handled locally-- by the city (except the pollution control part) but maybe the federal govt. handles it in Korea.
But I'm just trying to think about it from all the sides, you could be right-- maybe it is a bad way for them to spend their money. I do have to say that in my short time on this planet I have seen governments do much worse with taxpayer dollars. But now the argument has shifted from 'they do really pay more' to whether or not it's a good idea. I wouldn't debate in the least that they do pay more-- just indirectly.
but the situation is the same-- all 10 inhabitants of each country take up some fraction of a percent of all that land mass- the U.S. actually has people living all over-- the majority of the country is not desolate tundra or desert.
(I'm just playin'-- could care less about broadband penetration-- anywhere.)
South Korea pays part of the cost of the U.S. military prescence-- that is true. I do not believe they pay the complete cost. But I am sure it is a pretty complicated matter if you dig deep. I tried to get a job working for a defense contractor there. They were trying out some nifty new stuff that was paid for by Darpa and will be a nice part of our military capability. So both sides benefit.
Then I'd imagine we sell them quite a bit of hardware too. That's why I wasn't too emphatic about how it all works out. There are more variables that I'm not even aware of, I am sure. But I don't think it is too far out to imagine that America may invest at least as much as they get back, possibly more. I wonder if there is anything available that really trys to analyze the relationship from that perspective.
You are correct. But lets say they are going to collect that money no matter what... Then what would you rather have them spend it on? Broadband is nice and seems to fit in well with their goal of electronic government
While U.S. aid to South Korea was phased out quite a while ago-- our committment to their defense must help them to be able to do this kind of thing as well. If they were on their own against North Korea I would imagine they would be compelled to divert even more to defense. So in part the U.S. is helping to make this possible.
There are some nice facts on Korea (little dated) here

duuuude-- you so fail it. you are not fp and i made you redundant!!!!!! Sucka

Maybe these are just older modems and you can't buy them anymore-- but if this type of modem is still available maybe you can get them for cheaper.

send an email from the address you want invited to
bittercode@gmail.com
and I'll shoot one your way.
I just sent an invite to the address in your profile.
No I'm not worried. I still have 149 invites left and you are the only person to ask so far.
do you want one?
It took me a while to start getting invites. Then as I gave them out, I picked up more. But even when I got 5 at a time it was getting hard to give them away. I sent some to myself to set up a few accounts for different purposes and now I have around 150 invites that I can't unload. I quit trying a long time ago.
people to take my gmail invites any more. I think it's a little late to open it to the public-- everybody already has an account.
who can know. It's like asking-- "I got Rocky Road at Baskin Robins with my Yahoo coupon, did I get the wrong flavor?"
I worry about all those Foes and Freaks-- I worry about the Fans too. I mean, they are just stalkers in the making-- putting their little colored dots around my name.
I asked my mom what I should do and she said not to go to 'slushdort' any more but uncle troll said if I don't log in every day and keep visiting him at the holiday inn on week-end he'll hurt mister chips.

all in one line.
Besides what is a French person doing complaining about things like this? The French are the biggest language snobs on the planet.
On a more serious note-- I'm willing to bet this is a mischaracterization to sensationalize the story. hmmmmmm that's never happened before.
You're a great troll or stupid.
