"S0 it really could end up being like razor blades. But the more expensive holder (handle) up front and then replace the screen (blade) when it needs it."
When was the last time you bought razor blades? The blades are way more expensive then the handle. hell they give you the handle for free so that you will buy the blades.
Not that I agree with the law, but there are warnings about operating equipment (cars) when taking cough syrup. Also the I believe that the term is DUI, means driving under the influence. We just assume that it is the influence of alcohol, but I believe it covers any substance that impairs your abilities to drive.
Which what they call their wireless media adapter. it is supposed to wirelessly allow you view pictures and listen to mp3 on your TV. This thing and the hideous software that came with it basically sucked ass. I can't even tell you the number of problems getting it to work, and it never worked proberly. It would skip on the music, hang on the photos and then eventually blow up my (linksys) wireless router. Perhaps they were using the WMA11B as a beta test device for this product. Then only thing I can say is thank God for Best Buys return policy. I have voted with my money.
For anyone who remembers MP3.com before Michael sold out (and I don't mean to Cnet), I don't think that Cnet will do anything different with the site. It used to be almost like an underground site before the he sold out, you know just when the MP3 scene was taking off. Now Cnet buys it, but they are only buying a brand name, and a watered down one at that. sorta what they did with winfiles.com and I am sure countless others. Don't know where I am going with this, but just my 2 cents.
what do you see yourself doing for your career? Are just doing this for money? if just doing for money try and negotiate for cash under the table with set goals for payement. If this is something that will look good on a resume or will fall in line with your career, then go for "position" in the company with benefits, 401K, hourly pay etc.. something solid to put on your resume.
Make sure if coding for the "man" that your work does not become theirs.
Yeah I am sure these will catch on. Not only that it should be a big boost to the pool industry. Don't worry about the fact that in many areas you will only be able to use your phone during the summer months. Hmmm, I can just see it now... "well, I am not going to call my mother/sister/brother during the winter, because I know she/she/he will not be paying attention to me.
Just some random thoughts:
Everytime I get in the pool I always have to pee, which would be a distraction in itself.
Other people would probably be swiming in the pool, there is nothing more irritating to me then someone splashing me while I am in the pool.
Do you have to sit in the pool all day waiting for a call, or do you answer a call and ask the person to hold while you put your bathing suit on.
What if there is an electrical storm while you are on the phone? You would not know and could die.
Do you think the ring tone should be the theme to Jaws?
but it does mess with my sensory input.. why does slashdot a a single white pixel at the bottom center of their top ad banner. Every time I see it I think I have to clean my screen.
1. Since Ohio is ~240 miles due west of Lancaster, are we to assume that there is some type of temperature inversion between those two locations during the winter months?
2. Just being a smartass in #1. Lancaster gets cold in the winter, so I am sure the amish use the heat from there lanterns.
We are a distributor for Power Integrity Corp., which makes a product that would do what you need. the box it self, for a typical house would run 8-12K and would need installed by an electrician. Our market consists of gas stations/C-stores. The amount of reduced service calls at the locations that have these installed is dramatic. (service calls related to power surges/lightning strikes, etc..

It will only cost you $7,999 to get terminal server to work over that complex thingy called the internet. ( that is in addition to the OS fee and CAL fees ).
Look at the pure logic of it. No other site would use the ads, so it would only be amazon. Then no customers would go to Amazon because they were too commercialized because of all the adds they have.
All I said was who cares. But then I went to the raging cow website and I realized that I care. Now that I have read a blog of a make believe cow, I am repentant on my cynicism. I never realized how cool a cow could be once it was personafied by the art of blogging. I am thinking of getting a cowectomy, or at least a botox injection.
Please wake up people and stop thinking up stupid advertising shit. Go look at a real cow sometime. They are big, smelly and stupid but they are anything but cool.
and the ramifications of using the internet and the guise of a "privacy spill" to proffer the information. I have some moderator points and I debated wether to use them on this article, but as I read through the replies only one touched on my point, so I thought it better to comment. While most of you discuss this as a matter of what should be private, and how MS is the worst, I feel the real problem is that (keep in mind that I do not believe the article to be true) the possiblity of mass "leaking" this email somehow lends it more credibility.

We are supposed to be the most savy when it comes to this type of scam, don't let the topic of discussion or the topic of the email cloud your judgement.
Our company is in a very regulated field. We are directly regulated by 3 (state) government agencies and must be tested and certified by one. We constantly go to the physical 'comment on the regulation' meetings. In the 10 years I have been in this industry (underground tank installation, etc..) I have not seen one comment even considered by the agencies. They do what they want, end of story. I am sure that all those online comments will be directed to/dev/null.

they are not running their site on one of the top 500.

Simple answer:
Cable companies are monopolies. At todays rates you would not be able to afford a completely on-demand cable system.
What the cable industry needs is deregulation.
what do you see yourself doing for your career? Are just doing this for money? if just doing for money try and negotiate for cash under the table with set goals for payement. If this is something that will look good on a resume or will fall in line with your career, then go for "position" in the company with benefits, 401K, hourly pay etc.. something solid to put on your resume.

Good Luck
you are an ass and your comment is in appropriate.
The Diebold machines that we sell currently use OS2. The rumors that I have heard say they will be swithcing to Windows.
for a quick withdraw of crash... er I mean cash.
Sorry it's early, and I still have no power at home, it is the best I could come up with.

The only problem with that is that you mentioned federal oversight. that is just one more thing for the government to mess up.
Not to nitpick, but two things:
1. Since Ohio is ~240 miles due west of Lancaster, are we to assume that there is some type of temperature inversion between those two locations during the winter months?
2. Just being a smartass in #1. Lancaster gets cold in the winter, so I am sure the amish use the heat from there lanterns.

I think that would be doublenegative ungood. Since I am not using an actual double negative, I don't think that I am making a positive.
