Belcher killed his girlfriend, that was the motivation for his suicide, either from the grief over what he'd done or the realization he'd be going to prison for a long, long time. Also, he'd been in the league a much shorter time than many of the other notable suicides, who often killed themselves after retirement. Belcher was just in his third season.
If he was suffering from a brain disorder from too many hits, it had clearly affected him in a much different manner than any of the others. Has there ever been another murder/suicide or some other violent act attributed to a football player suffering from this disorder?
Einstein wasn't religious. In fact he did not believe in a god. Religious people like to pull select quotes from him to make him appear to be religious, to use as an argument from authority against atheists, but there is a detailed letter that he wrote in which he categorically denied believing in god.
Here in Texas Verizon was charging for touch tone service for longer than most other companies in the rest of the US. I believe I was paying for that even after 2000. I cancelled my home phone service several years back so I don't know if they have that still or not.
They were also charging monthly for "number portability" or something like that. Basically that service they are required to provide where you can move your phone number from one service to another. Whether you move it or not, you pay monthly to have the ability to do it.
I have Verizon FiOS for TV and internet, but I pass on having a land-line. While there are numerous fees and taxes applied to FiOS, none are as blatantly a rip-off as some of those old phone fees were.
I thought, but I may be mistaken as I've only played D&D sporadically over the years, that AD&D was essentially D&D 2. With D&D 3 they dropped Advanced from the name. I've not run across any books published under that name in many, many years.
Aren't most desktop monitors at least 1280x1024? Isn't 1024x768 something strictly limited to older CRTs? Or are there far more of those out there still being used than I suspect?
Amazon provides you a return label. You seal up the box, put on the label, drop it at a UPS Store or some other such place. No lines, less fuss.
Granted for me there's a UPS Store on my way to work, so it's easier than most other stores, but even if that wasn't the case, the lack of waiting in line is a plus. Particularly at Fry's, where every return has to be approved by multiple people, and sometimes you have to take a form back to the register to get your actual money or credit back. While Fry's is good about taking just about anything back for any reason, the process is a nuisance.
I've been considering getting a scanner for a while now to take care of all my old documents. I've seen an ad on TV for a scanner and software that looks nifty, but I can't bring myself to buy that "as seen on TV" crap.
This S1300 looks like something that will fill my needs nicely. The S1500 would be great, but after my initial archiving I know my usage will drop dramatically and I don't want to spend that much. The money saved on an S1300 will more than make up for the minor loss in functionality.
Some Fry's have this in the front of their storeswhereas the Buy More has theirs in back. I've worked for companies that had a lot of hardware on hand for various reasons, and they had a similar setup. Nothing special about it that I can tell.
I use a WZR-HP-G300NH and it has worked well for me for quite some time. I've probably had it for a good 18 months now. With DD-WRT I am limited to 130mbps instead of 300, but other than that it's rock solid.
Thanks for that link. I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, and the simplicity of that setup should make it easy for me to implement with my HDTV. I bet I can mount it on the back of the TV and it'll reflect off the wall just fine. No more squinting at night when the movie changes from a dark scene to a real bright one.
The name Dashboard has been used for similar products before. There was an app called Dashboard created by HP that dates back at least to the early 90's. It was sold to Borland, and later sold to Starfish, and I think may have been distributed with PC Tools for Windows (for Win 3.1) by Central Point. From what I remember about it, and what I've read about Apple's and Yahoo's apps, they sound similar.
I'm not too familiar with Apple, so I don't know if they made anything similar to this prior to HP, but I think at this point the trademark point would be moot.
The Halloween special is always shown during the regular season. Often times twice in the same week in case you miss it on Sunday. Now quite often it doesn't show until sometime in November, but it does air well before the season ends.
There's also the issue of how you will behave and what effect that may have on your coworkers. In my second job I replaced a guy who left on fairly good terms. It had been their intention to keep him for the two weeks, however once they notified him that he was in the hole on his vacation time and they'd be docking his paycheck, he started going from cube to cube complaining to everyone about the unfair treatment. From then on they just decided to cut their losses and have people leave immediately.
I don't play any FPS, in fact I think the only game I've played on this so far is Neverwinter Nights. That looks just fine on it. From what I've read on it, others have been pretty satisfied with it when gaming. Search the forums on fatwallet and you'll find a lot of comments on this monitor.
I haven't tried the other video inputs, other than VGA on my laptop. One thing I do think is cool is that you can do PIP via those other inputs, so you could have a small corner of your screen dedicated to TV or something similar.
The rotation is nifty. I've used it to view some large images, but that's about it. The height I set it at, plus the monitor I have next to it, makes rotating it a bit cumbersome, so I don't do it often.
It's a great package. The stand is versatile, and the USB hub built in is a nice feature. The 24" version also adds a 9 in 1 media card reader and component inputs. I'm thinking of purchasing one of those, and either that or the 20" I'll use at work. The high pitched squeal is apparent only on some of the 24", and from what I've read you can exchange it with Dell within the first few weeks at no cost to you.
Look at the Dells. Dell sells widescreen LCDs also, using the same Samsung panels as some of the Apples, and if you search for the deals you can get them for close to half the price of Apple. Plus they got a wide array of connectors on the back. I have a Dell 2005FPW and it's beautiful, it's a 20" 16x9 monitor with resolution of 1680x1050. Early ones supposedly had a backlight problem, but the one I bought a few months back is wonderful. And I got it for a bit over $400 delivered.
They aren't rejecting it, they are objecting to it. I don't know why the submitter used reject, because it's a stupid idea. The US can't reject a law that Canada passes that applies in Canada.
Not liking Canadian laws doesn't mean the US doesn't respect Canada's sovereignty. All the US government is doing is saying that they don't like Canada's stance on IP and wishes Canada would change these laws.
The shuttle has flown over 100 times with only two serious failures. There have been minor issues from time to time, but most of the time it's flown just fine. Why do you think that this one will be so different? Do you believe that some of the modifications may actually make it more dangerous? Sure something could happen, but the notion that the standby shuttle would also have a problem is just a bit paranoid, don't you think?
They can use the data before and after you lose signal to guess approximate you were. If you were in your house when the signal went off, and five minutes later it comes back and you're still in your house, then obviously you didn't go twenty miles away and beat your ex. There still might be problems at times, but if the device is too faulty, it couldn't (one would hope) be used against you in court.
No geek should be excited about this. It's inputs are S-video, composite video and analog stereo, along with the USB. If you're copying from your A/V gear or your camcorder, you're restricted to the analog formats. Even if you have a DVD player that defeats macrovision, you're still making a low-quality copy from the analog signal. You can't copy the DD or DTS signals with this either.
This might be a fine device for someone that just wants to eliminate their VCR, but that is all. You can archive your old VHS tapes, your personal videos, or stuff off the Tivo, but that's about it.
This is a bit inaccurate. There are restrictions that the landlord can put on you, and in some cases you can't have the dish at all. If you have to modify the structure in any way, i.e. drilling through a wall, or you have to place the dish in a public area, the landlord can deny your request. That is what the FCC says.
"Yes, like hitting the wall when following the pace car."
He's made one mistake this year, that's it. Everything else has gone pretty damn good for him. Winning 7 of 8 races doesn't just happen because of his team spending so much money on the car. Otherwise Rubens would have some victories, or at least more second place finishes.
Look at what all that money has gotten McLaren this year, absolutely nothing. They earned about half of their points so far this year only because two teams were disqualified from the last race. It's not just about the money. Remember, Schumi won championships before he went to Ferrari. I think this is a case of the right driver finding the right team at the right time. What he can do with that car is amazing.

where were you when the first video card was overclocked to 1GHz. And most people will respond "huh?".
Seriously, "world history"? There's no historical significance here. It was inevitable, and no big deal.

It was the 138th Episode Spectacular, not 100th. C'mon Wil, you should know that one.
