Actually, it doesn't always work -- for instance, I get local chanels via DirecTiVo, but a season pass will only grab either the local channel shows, or the DirecTV shows. Never both. So If a show (such as Stargate SG-1 appears on SciFi and my local FOX affiliate) I have to have TWO season passes to grab all the shows, or setup a Title Wishlist (which I have done for Stargate) unfortunately a Title Wishlist doesn't always work -- for instance, I'd like to get all of the Friends episodes, but a Friends Title Wishlist would get me loads of other crap. Oh well. It's still drastically better than a VCR.
I also started making wine about 9 months ago -- I've found it's the perfect hobby for me. As ou said, the details can be ery technical and geeky - i.e there's alot of chemistry involved, measuring ph, acid, SO2, and can be very challenging. it doesn't require a huge amount of time, and you can get started with about $100. Not bad at all, plus the fact that you get wine for about $1-$2 per bottle, and so far mine has been quite good!
It's both irresponsible and uneducated. If he wants people to be able to get to the server from anywher, that's fine. leave off the IP filtering. But turn on Authentication for all uses of the mail server. DUH.
Hence the disappearnce of backdoors.
Er, which ones are gone?
All of them. in pre version 2.5, you could "enable backdoors" which gave you extra functionality, such as "Teach TiVO", which was wonderful. wince the latest software upgrade to version 2.5, the backdoors function is gone... or at least no one has found out what key sequence enables them.
A "Soccer Mom" is a somewhat derogatory term for suburban stay-at-home mothers that drive thier children around in a mini-van to soccer practice, and typify the suburban well-to-do lifestyle.

Hi.
I wrote the RUR-14 distributed cracking client.
I'd like to dispell some common misconceptions.
- the client uses very few CPU cycles. I have it running on a P100, and it only takes about 20% of the CPU. it is very heavy on bandwith usage. on that same P100, the network driver is using ver 60% of the CPU.
- this is only a game.
- ther WILL be a linux client. either this weekend or monday!!
any other questions?

personally, I think that if they are going to charge people license fees, they need to then reimburse all of us that spent time inputting information into thier database. I know I added well over 200 CDs to CDDB when it first got started. Let's see, approximately 5 minutes per CD to enter the data (being on the very conservative side)... that's 16 2/3 hours of my time that I spent. and at the rate I charge for freelance work (which I would classify this as), it looks like they owe me about $840. pay up. .e. www.perceive.net
I can tell you that when I get less than 7 hours per night I have a hard time remembering things, and I feel like a zombie. THAT is realistic. .e. www.perceive.net
I totally agree. Me and my wife decided that one income IS enough. in fact, taking into account daycare, gasoline, business clothes, etc, we were only making a couple hundred bucks a month by her working. So now she is a stay at home mom, the house runs smoothly, we have more time for the kids in general, and life is good.
Glad it works for you. I have written to my congressman MANY times. Not once have I received any sort of reply. This includes writing via dead trees, and email. The only thing I have ever received back is an auto-reply via email. All of my letters have been extremely civil, have stated my point, have mentioned that I am one of thier consitituents. Seems to me that there should be some much simpler way to let your congressdope know your view. .e. www.perceive.net
A company in Lousville, KY [full disclosure: I worked for thier previous incarnation], has been working on this with great success for quite a long time. Agora Interactive the system they call "GATE" also includes video conferencing in the system.
They also developed a virtual reality game based on a doom/quake-like engine using the iGlasses, a standard arcade box, and a Pentium 133.
I have to disagree. the only people in my family that actually really CARE about the difference in quality between VHS and DVD is my father and I. My wife, daughter, mother, sister, et al don't care. They mainly complain about the "black bars" at the top and bottom of the screen. Don't even bother to try to explain aspect ratios to them. The only draw to DVD that my wife sees is the "extra content".
What matters is not if they notice a difference, it's if they really care.

Hopefully this type of energy retreival will not have the same problems that it did in SimCity!

Nope - 8088. At 4.77 Mhz.
There was also an 8086 before the 8088. the 8086 also ran at 4.77 MHz. the 8088 came in 4.77 an 10 MHz versions.
If it was small, we wouldn't be able to see much beyond our point of view.
Correct me if I'm wrong... we can't see beyond our point of view now. That's why it's a point of view.
AWESOME! I apparently had missed that discovery. thanks!

Glad I wasn't the only one to think of Bladerunner!
I'm not bingo.
I just used the money I earned with coffee-powered programming to buy a Rancilio Silvia [1st-line.com].
this makes me think... I should have a t-shirt made that says "Caffeine Inside" heheheheh

I have done the same thing, but I would really like to be able to have better pagination options than those provided in HTML.

I would LOVE to be able to take my XML datasets, and convert them using XSLT into a PDF somehow.
anyone know how?

Unfortunately, look like they filled for Chapter 11 (reorganization) in January.
