My go to pen is the CountyComm Embassy Pen Loaded with a Fine Point black Ink Fisher Space Pen Refill. I have had mine nearly two years now and it's easily the best pen I have owned. I'm hardly an expert on the subject but it really fits my needs.
The most common complaint is the cap does not seat to the back of the pen. This is an issue for some and to others a trivial problem. If you buy the propaganda, holding onto the cap will remind you to get your pen back when you lend it out.
I don't know about anyone else, but when I came across this video a few days ago it just screamed viral marketing to me. I want to say I'm surprised it got as much traction as it has. The fact that it seems to have gone viral, only seems to validate my original suspicions
Something about the setup... the articulate nature of the child and the mysterious voice in the background. Honestly, on first pass I didn't even bother to finish watching the video. It had all the hallmarks of a viral advertisement
Did anyone else gives impression? Am I the only one?
25 years isn't all that long of a time. I think you could easily get away with using something like a "Gamma Seal." these seals easily last 10 years with regular use. 25 years should be easily attainable. In theory they attach to any bucket but this may not be durable enough for your needs. A Vittle Vault is both durable and sealed tight from the elements thanks to a Gamm Seal. Becoming a variety of sizes and can be picked up at any pet supply store.
For good measure throw in one or two blocks of silica gel and some oxygen absorbers. I don't see why set up like this wouldn't deliver your stuff 25 years to the future and beyond.
I have a late '05 Mac Mini (Core Duo) that I use daily. I know its time to upgrade but I want to get at least one more year out of it. That said Itunes 9 has been running very slow. Cover flow was very choppy and even grid view was a joke.
iTunes 10 feels like a whole new program. Sure it's the same beast at the surface but it really feels like the optimised or reprogramed iTunes from the back-end.
they even make routers for the USB based cards. My sprint connection is under $60 a month and just as fast as Comcast ever was. I get the added advantage of taking that connection with me.
Granted i cant use it everywhere. but i can use it just abut any place i find myself.
Is there anything preventing you from using an EVDO connection through Sprint or Verizon? I know Verizon has a MB cap but Sprint is supposedly unlimited. When i decided to abandon Comcast about 4 months ago i got a sprint modem and the unlimited service package. for roughly the same price as Comcast.
Transfers are around 3 mbps in my area with respectable upload speeds. If there is no EDVO signal in the area speeds may be slower then dial-up if not nonexistent.
Not really 80's But I DO remember playing Merlin when I was really young. An electronic Tic Tac Toe of sorts. But my fondest gaming memories are of the NEC Turbo Grafx 16 and it's portable counterpart The Turbo Express.
The system received a face lift in Japan called the Super Grafx but it was abandoned after just a few months. I got one off eBay a few years ago and it was worth every penny.
Ok flamebait. You think everyone chooses the same mode of transportation when commuting as they do in all other situations? Most people who use mass transportation or alternate forms of locomotion during commute are still competent drivers. Choosing not to drive is a conscious choice, and not always necessity.
Faster: Metro and Bus lines are faster Cheaper: Operating any motor vehicle is going to be more expensive the further you commute for gas, insurance and parking (not to mention vehicle maintenance) Environment: Spare the air - less polluting
All of these are going to raise in importance exponentially if you are commuting to the burbs to a major metropolitan area. The more populous the area is, the greater the need for alternate forms of transportation.
As for your little parking remark. Try puling that off in a city like NY, San Francisco or LA
As a matter of fact my girlfriend and I BOTH have kick scooters. They are a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We both enjoy taking them down to the lake and spending some time in the sun. A pastime I'm sire is not popular among the typical/. Community;)
A "REAL" scooter as you put it isn't as practical in long distance commuting situations. Real Scooters cost money to run, and are just as expensive to part as cars. Do you want to spend upwards of $400 a month to part your "REAL" scooter? I would not recommend any one take a "REAL" scooter over a bridge or onto a busy highway or freeway.
A kick scooter is great for getting to and from local public transportation, or quickly (and effortlessly) to a destination within your major metropolitan area. But hey if that
I know this is SO 2001 but the scooter has really been a life saver for me. I was never happy with the cheap $50 scooters you can pick up at the local Toy Mega Stores so I did a little research and found the Xootr Scooter.
They are a little expensive starting at $150. But you will find the construction to be far superior to any razor scooter with its sturdy frame and large 7" (180mm) wheels. It cruises like nothing else. Taking very little effort to gain and maintain momentum.
I opted for the Xootr Mg ($189) with a solid magnesium deck. It comes in under 10 lbs and is east to fold and carry. Fits nice under my desk at work and take up very little space in my home. Pick up the shoulder strap to make transportation even easier on crowded streets or into your place of business.
Interesting. I was recently reading the 2004 report issued by theESA(Entertainment Software Association) and it claims some 92% of parents are present at the time games are purchased or rented. Additionally, some 87% of children get parental permission before purchasing or renting a video game.
These statistics are compiled from a dozen or so gaming companies such as Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA and others. I'm guessing the data could be slightly skewed to paint a more favorable picture. Though I'm more include to believe parents, on average, just don't care what kind of games there children are playing.
I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but I think he made the right choice.
Satellite radio has limited appeal. I don't know many people that are excited about the idea of radio you have to pay for, commercials or not. Digital Radio (Digital FM & AM) will offer CD quality broadcasts in the near future effectively killing the satellite Radio market.
I discovered MP3s nearly 10 years the time I spend listening to the radio has decreased. Even before that CD players often omitted a radio tuner further effecting how I listen to music. The iPod and other MP3 players have eliminated my need for radio.
The impeding failure of satellite radio aside, I don't see how it would even fit into Apple's bigger plan for the iPod. The iPod allows us to create out own personalized 'radio station' without commercials.
Now I'm just dependant on friends to introduce me to new music. I think they have better taste then the DJ's and what the big labels want to shove down my though any way.
I think i had it for a long time. it was one of the first Cd-ROMS to come out. maybe it was 1992? It was a tandy drive and the Cd ROM woud slide in and out of the compuer's drive bay. I mean the WHOLE drive would slide in and out and you would lift a lid to put the cd in the top of the drive.
Back in 1994-95 I Was working at Walden Software (EB) and the store directive said they would phase out floppies over the next year and all merchandise would be replaced with CD-ROM. Although I had recently purchased a Tandy Single Speed CD rom drive ($400) I thought they were crazy to set such goals for the common public. It was about this time that Rise of the robots and a few other games hit the market and took a little over 40 1.4 MB disks to install. Sure enough a year latter the store was converted and all new software was in fact selling of CD-Rom.
Does any one remember the old M(multimedia)PC 1&2 ratings they used to set that were supposed to tell the consumer if there computer was good enough to run new software?
Back in the day Origin always pushed new technology. You could always bet that any new Origin game meant you needed to upgrade.
Wing Commander was one of the first games to require Extended (Expanded?) memory to get extra in flight graphics. Wing Commander II pushed digital audio forcing (laugh) many gamers to buy digital sound cards. The same can be said with the Ultima series.
Lucas was often pushing the performance envelope too.

$60 gets you 5 GB (over 1 month) from Verizon. service is not unlimited.
they even make routers for the USB based cards. My sprint connection is under $60 a month and just as fast as Comcast ever was. I get the added advantage of taking that connection with me.
Granted i cant use it everywhere. but i can use it just abut any place i find myself.

Not just a LOT look at the old TSN Map! http://www.4gamer.net/weekly/kaito/103/img/01.jpg
in fact mothly parking (reserved) can be in well over $1000 a month in NYC
dude, i said parking. parking the car in the city costs about $400 a month minimum.
I have two kaypro portable computers myself. i have one in blue and another in grey.

And that differs from iTunes how? I pay every moth rather then a one time fee for each song?

I found it. The Tandy CDR-1000
I think i had it for a long time. it was one of the first Cd-ROMS to come out. maybe it was 1992? It was a tandy drive and the Cd ROM woud slide in and out of the compuer's drive bay. I mean the WHOLE drive would slide in and out and you would lift a lid to put the cd in the top of the drive.
Thnaks i did a litle link hunting it seems the DACs used on the erly creative cards were 12 bit.
