I took the Excel list of all of the sites and pushed it into a data mapping program based on latitude and longitude. The following results I thought odd:
- There are 15 in the middle of the Atlantic - There are 5 in Mauritania - There's even one in northern Mali
Talk about your far-reaching communications network!
... is for swingsets and bicycles and all of that other "some assembly required" crap with miserably translated confusing manuals. Think of all of the heartache it would save on Christmas Eve!!!
In the next book in the Harry Potter series, Hagrid's character will take a much larger role in the school children's education. First, he will use his experience with magical creatures to create a magical, furry, living device that can be used for the output of architectural CAD drawings. Malfoy tries to get Harry expelled by hiding a hollowed out book with several dozen hits of extacy in Harry's bedroom. Finally, near the end of the story, Dumbledore hears of Hagrid's printing monstrosity, and demotes Hagrid to the role of Professor of Ceramics.
So, it will have both a hairy plotter, an E-book, and a hairy Potter.
I tend to scour the bookshelves at the secondhand store whenever I go there, and get most of my pleasure reading for pennies. The material has been read before, sometimes by several people, and it's all completely legal.

I came across these instructions for making custom carbon fiber pieces. That would not only look cool (if done right) but it would also be lighter and stronger than the original case was.
...and a lot of it is wireless, durable, and cheap. Tons here. There are also a fair number of companies that used to make wireless printer links and a lot of those were RS-232 based. Since they are an older tech, you could probably pick them up pretty cheaply. If you are looking for fairly short-range (under 500') and slow connection (under 128Kbps), you could probably go with a cheaper 900Mhz transciever. I used those for a wireless RS-232 timeclock network once, and they worked great. We paid about $90 each for them back in 1996.
There's several hacks available to make it play DVD's from anywhere. There's one built into the hardware of some of them as illustrated here, or you can buy a disc to do it like this.
Great LAN game. My brother and I do it every Christmas. Great gameplay, lots of variations, allows a no-CD network install, AND works on mixed Mac/PC networks if you run the multiplayer over IP.
At the risk of damaging my Karma, I will address this.
I forgot to hit the damn preview button. I refreshed the topic discussion list, realized what I had done, and then added the response which actually contained the link. I made a mistake, and made an effort to correct it.
As far as your sophomoric conspiracy theories go, genius boy, I think you need to brush up on your knowledge base. The lameness filters add spaces into long words automatically to keep some asinine poster from making a line that is so long it makes the world have to scroll to read all the postings. If only the lameness filters would catch ill-informed comments like yours.
They make it sound like building with tinkertoys. That's what we really need, right? A whole bunch of imbedded devices with custom-built kernels put together with all the quality of your average Access database.
Ok, so Hotmail is owned by a Washington state corporation, right? Assuming that the mail servers (and hence the final destination of the messages) are located in Washington, could I file for violations of that state's law on all of the spam I get to my hotmail account? IANAL, but if my mail all ends up in that state, wouldn't I be protected by that state's consumer protection laws?

He's got a monster 528 cubic inch motor in his Buick. It runs the 1/4 mile in under 10.2 seconds on street tires.
He calls the car "Buzilla".
Personally, I think he should have a right to; the car is, after all, a monster.

It is all just a hoax. As it turns out, a group of rival scientists went up into space and just put a REALLLY big mirror up there.

Now you can just superimpose a cute face and slender figure instead of having to drink one into place! Think of the cost savings!

At least in some capacity. See for yourself.
