Not really.... music tours will just buy projecters and do it the traditional way. Speakers are handled to rough to worry about being delicate with their electronics- I should know; I used to be a roadie.
Ha! I did this when I was working in Nortel INM/Optical Verification at the Skypark facility in Ottawa, Canada. It tokk then 3 months to get an ID badge, and I worked off hours, which meant the getting into the building was a 15 minute chore. UGH.
But it's scary how easy it is to get into a top security level R&D facility. Again, I was like you- teen with piercings... and no badge.:P
When I was doing dev and patch work over at Nortel a couple of years back, they did this to us as well.... we had locked down HP-UX boxen with severely limited user permissions... and doing NT development, we logged into an uber-restricted NT box by VNC. Nortel was obsessed with lockdown, and we didn't have the appropriate termissions to runs the applications that we were compiling. When it was brought up with supervisors and directors, they'd refer us to IT, which, in turn, would refer us to our supervisors and directors.
In order to ensure output, all us guys on the floor pitched in and bought ourselves a couple of development machines so that we could actually get work done... but we had to fight with provisioning for three months in order to obtain two IP addresses for them. AAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!
We did, however, manage to make it look like we were working that whole time just by answering email and voice mail and going to the occasional meeting.
In conclusion, the stock options that they offered me are now worthless, I'm out of a job, and a company that stupid had to fall hard anyway. Ah, the good old days...
I have a friend who lives in an apartment complex in scarborough, and half of it is one area code (416) and the other half is in the metro code (905) and it's pretty damn confusing.
Where in Canada will I be able to obtain this, and which digital network will provide service for this device? Cantel AT&T? Bell Mobility? Fido? All offer very different levels of service, and which network provider will be carrying this service will be a significant factor in it's purchase.
Yeah, I used to set up raves and concerts with 16 S4 boxes and I thought those were hell.... then moved on to kits with 16 DAS RF-215s and 16 custom Dual JBL 18" in DAS cabinets and I thought those were hell. Then we moved to EAW stacks, which were seemingly endless and seemingly infinitely heavy.
What we decided was that the most efficient way for roadies to lift and setup large kits was just to numb our bodies by quickly slamming back three beers and running to install the gear in that period where we were numb but before we got clumsy.
You *pay* for water? At every fast food place that I go to, and ask for water, they give me a styrofoam cup of it for free!
When you ask "How much for a glass of water?" of COURSE they're gonna say $2.00, they're pulling your leg and making a buck off of your social ineptitude!
I do it all the time, because I have an addiction to carbonated prune juice... errr... Dr. Pepper. They've never raised a fuss.
Once, it was a problem in a movie thater, so I stared directly into the eyes of the 16 year old zitty kid working the door and I said "It's not like I'm going to buy the dollar bottle of what I already have in my hand for $5.50. Let me in."
To which he replied, with a knowing geeky grin. "You're right. These are not the droids I'm looking for. Go on ahead."
Hrm.... that's really weird. In reply, in Ottawa, Canada, I have easily 30 different dialup ISPs, most of which are PPP, many of which also offer SLIP. As well, we have 5 different high speed options, two wireless, and ALL linux compatible... two PPPoE. And those are all home-user-targetted ISPs under $50 monthly. The stakes- and speed- go up if you're a business user.
I've got it goooooooood.:)
Oh, did I mention, you can usually get a static IP- all you have to do is ask for one.:)
You think Little Billy who can't get mom and pop's permission to switch ISPs is going to get their permission to wipe out the PC and install Linux? Let alone not piss off the family highly by doing this on the family PC?
there is a certain amount of storage redundancy as well
with an efficient cooling system of network booting pcs (no hard drives, no moving parts except for fans) then you have a bank of systems which is not only incredibly cheap and off the shelf but efficient as well
Every support tech, customer service rep, and manager in any company you deal with will delay your service if you try to be Mr. Tough Guy.
The motto always was: "We'll help you if you help us."
Trying to act like you are king shit does absolutely nothing to further your cause. It just makes you look like an asshole...
Just talk to a support tech and say "Look, I've had this drive replaced three times. I'd like something done about it." And usually they'll do something to help you, because some of them do give a shit...
That's not 'electronica'... they are three 'dance' stations.... so basically MTV without the alternative.
All the gangsta rap, 2000 canaries (oh, sorry, darude) and eiffel 65 that you can handle.
Joy.
Hrm.... I'm a DJ/rave promoter professionally and I don't see a lot of $200 nights like that guy was mentioning above. Maybe you should go to one instead of watching 20/20...
What's why you listen to college and university radio.
I live in Ottawa, Canada, which is a city of about 750 000 people... we have two university stations (Ottawa and Carleton) and one college station (Algonquin) which you can't pick up unless you're on campus.
I used to have a show on CHUO (Ottawa U) for a few months- I'm a psy trance DJ and it was great for awhile until they started cancelling all the electronica shows. The new station manager is an ex-metalhead who gave my timeslot to his highschool bandmembers... the same thing for at least 8 other timeslots that I know of... so CHUO is the station you want to hear for bad metal.... he can't cancel the ethnic programs because there'd be a huge community backlash if he did.... that being said, CKCU Carleton is picking up most of the old electronica shows, so that's the station that everyone listens for the latest Drum and Bass, Trip Hop, Acid Jazz, Underground Trance, Miami/New York/Chicago house, and Techno.
I'm not quite sure what my point was.... although if you'll excuse me, it's late, and I've got a gig...

I'm fairly sure Telex doesn't run their telegraph service any more, and my local western union just sends faxes for 60 cents a page....
Yeah, but when you think about it, $5 for 500 pictures is really not that bad a deal, don't you think?

Area codes don't mean area anymore!
Ever been to a city with ten-digit dialing?
Like Toronto?

Yeah. That's great. Sorry guys, party is over, some idiot set his smoke down on the speaker...
Wehen you're pumping out 25 kilowatts of sound, it doesn't make sense to use these... especially since you can't stack 'em.

Worked like a charm.
buahahahahaha

So that was my small personal victory.

The census will also reveal- for the people that stated their religion, what is the paternal religion?
As well, how many of them are involved in common-law relationships with their sisters?
Obviously unresearched. You can turn off ad receiving in AOL prefs. Don't see why this got modded up to 5.... it's blatantly wrong.

Don't think so.

Wow, that's a pretty dumb screwup. Sometimes, do you get the feeling that the guys on the assembly line do that kind of thing on purpose?
What CD did it have inside, pray tell?
Mine doesn't work in New York City, Montreal, or Toronto.... and that's 3 or 3 of the subways that I've been on...
