They drop toner all over in the printers. I hate cleaning them up (but love charging the customers for it.). No one ever considers the extra cleanings that need to be done because of those cartridges.
I couldn't even count how many times a customer had a print quality issue (toner being dropped all over the pages or 'image ghosts' from dead image drums) that was fixed by a $110 service call and a new toner cartridge.
Do you need a filter to keep the salt out of the water as it runs through the tubing?
I like the mini fridge idea. I may just try something like that. I have a closet I could put the coils in. I could then put an exhaust fan in the closet to blow the hot air outside.
How do you control the temperature? Just plug it in/unplug it when it's too warm/cold?
How much does it cost you to run it (or is there no huge difference?)
There are *many* sound cards that are labled as "AC'97" in their driver but actually have different chipsets from eachother.
I have two mainboards -- One has an Intel sound chip, the other a SiS. Both are labled "AC'97" when in Windows with no mention of which chip they have. There are several others from what I'm told.
No, you have it wrong. Read the description of the cheap one. Here. I'll even paste it here so you don't have to go back to the Evil Empire site.
"Delivers free, over-the-air digital television signals to either an HDTV-ready TV or standard analog television set"
See that? "or standard analog television set". That's exactly what the OP was wanting. The $388 RCA that is also listed will not work for what the OP wanted, you are correct there. The US DIgital for just under $200 will work for what he wanted.
Having included "Lost", "Survivor", and "Amazing Race" in your list of 'high-quality intelligent television" immediatly disqualified you and your comment.
If you want good TV, switch to one of the learning channels (Discovery Times, Discovery Science, TLC when they aren't airing one of their home makeover shows)...
There would just be a bunch of squabbling, propriitary (Blu-ray and HD-DVD) standards out there (Standard gauge and narrow gauge) that are just about the same damn thing, but don't really work (Unix and Windows) together.
Actually, there wouldn't. One of them would have something extreamly popular on and a majority of the people would flock to it. Once that happened, they'd have more money to get more extreamly popular stuff, furthering the flocking to them.
That's how things have worked for hundreds of years. That's why I think tons of people are going to flock to Sirius instead of XM (Howard Stern). XM added Anthany and Opie but I've never heard of them and after having listened to their show, I won't be doing so again.
This might be what you are looking for. Yes, they are too expensive in my opinion, but they are at least available.
I doubt they could work for converting digital cable or satellite, however, cable and satellite companies are going to have their own boxes anyway. All theese will do is allow you to grab the digital signal from your local TV stations and put them onto current TV's.
So what your saying is that it's not OK for the majority to decide what to do with your money but it IS OK for the majority to tell gays that they are sub-human and don't deserve the same rights as heterosexuals?
Wait.. That's because MAJORITY RULES. Unfortunatly, I believe the majority are wrong in the case I cited, but all I can do is vote for people who see things my way just as you can.

If you don't like the idea of tax payer funded wireless internet service then vote in people who share your views. There isn't any reason that Verizon (or any other telco/cable provider) can't provide service as good or better for a very similar fee.

(Well, maybe not the local telco, but whoever 'owns' the local backbone that runs through their neighborhood which could indeed be the local telco).

If someone has a copy of OS/2 4 in english they don't want any longer, I'll be happy to pay shipping for it! (just had to do a major repair to my car and then buy a new lawn mower so I can't afford the prices going on eBay)

With this type of connection, it doesn't matter if he has power or not -- he'll lose the satellite connection anyway.
I had Starband for somewhere around two years. It's better than Direcway in that, at least when I had it, there was no "FAP". I could download all day and all night and never lost any speed.
I hated not being able to use DialPad (that should date about when I had the hardware) or play Asheron's Call with it, so I eventually switched back to dialup.
'Course, those in power at Starband that decided to force us into the "WinModem" of the StarBand world (The model 360) from our nice 180's helped me decide to shitcan Starband.
This type of access has been available for years (mostly in businesses). Why a guy in the middle of nowhere with a satellite connection is "stuff that matters" is beyond me.
I'm sure there are plenty people in the US on solar power with some sort of satellite internet connection. I say "Big Deal".
Obviously you have never heard of hijackthis. It should not be used by someone who has no idea what they are doing, but it *does* remove BHO's quite nicely.
Hate to break it to you but people have not died *because* of this. They died because of a lack of understanding on *their* part.
Yes, I'm sure Vonage (and others) could have put a "hair dryer" style sticker on the top of the ATA that read something like "Warning -- Do not use for 911 calls if you are in danger", but the information (last I looked, anyway) was available as to what happens when you dial 911.
I don't know this as fact, but I think it is all in what time your browser checks for updates. I can't tell for sure, but I think it is set to do a random check (mayhapps it even checks every so many days and yours is still not showing an update as others are because you installed so many days after they did)...

Clone cartridges (at least for Lexmarks) SUCK.
They drop toner all over in the printers. I hate cleaning them up (but love charging the customers for it.). No one ever considers the extra cleanings that need to be done because of those cartridges.

You can do it with these:
"HotSpot" Gateways
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=349
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=173
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=402
"HotSpot" Ticket Printer
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=282
All they have to do, if they have the printer, is hit a button and it dynamically creates a user account/password and prints it up.

I decided to set my BBS back up after I saw a segment on AoTS on G4 (which I won't be watching too much longer now that K.Rose is going away).
