The guys at the vacuum cleaner stores are pitching for a sale.
My Dyson was jammed up with sawdust after a very large clean-up job (should've used a shop vac, but oh well). My friend's dad blew out the main chamber and other parts with a high-powered air compressor in his shop. Suction was back up to as-if-new condition. That's probably more intensive than washing, but the fact is it worked. YMMV
I'll put my Dyson vacuum up against any $100 or $200 vacuum cleaner any day; it's far better than anything I had growing up. If anything, Dysons are at the lower end of the "higher end" vacuum cleaners. But, every piece feels solid and you can break it down and clean it thoroughly.
Well, of course. It's not as if there are any compelling games for the PS3. It's just a noisy Blu-ray player. On the other hand, my Xbox 360 gets used about 50/50 for media (ie, Netflix, Hulu) vs. gaming because Microsoft actually cares about providing its customers with a diverse ecosystem of entertainment for its living room platform. The fact that XBox Live is a subscription platform (compared to the free and apparently cracked PSN...is that even safe to use anymore???) also proves that MS's customers are willing to put their money where their mouths actually pay for a quality experience.
The best part about navigating Netflix and Hulu on my XBox 360 is the voice control--dead simple and unambiguous with straightforward voice command options on the screen if you need them. "XBox pause!" "XBox rewind!" You can mutter voice commands, talk slow (not too slow), talk fast, talk like a cartoon character and it just works. It feels like how the 21st century should feel like.
The hand gestures, on the other hand, are an exercise in frustration. The Kinnect is good at tracking your hand, but you still have to use a fine degree of motor control to move that little hand to the pause area of the screen. The requirement to use fine motor control for something that can be accomplished using a voice command or by simply pressing a button on a remote control is a STEP BACKWARDS. The gesture commands are OK for scrubbing through the videos, but only because you would be using a similar motion if you were using a controller or a mouse.
Uhm, a set top box *is* a small computer system for entertainment. And gestures suck, by the way. I can control Netflix and Hulu with gestures using the Kinnect sensor on my Xbox 360. It sounds like a fun idea until you realize that your regular movements look an awful lot like gestures. Speaking from experience, voice command is where it's at for controlling a video on your living room screen.
How is it the American way or even remotely business-like for Comcast's lines to cross over my property rent-free? I have no business relationship with them. They refuse to respond to my letters where I wish to negotiate renting the space to them for $1 million per month. Clearly then, you support every private land owner in cutting down and disposing of wires that trespass their property.
Here's the thing...it costs *you* next to nothing, but what's really happening is that you're not absorbing the true cost of broadcast television, which is an incredible bandwidth hog (even in its current digital form) and waste of a limited resource. If I had my way, all broadcast television stations would be shut down and the bandwidth reclaimed for a national high-speed wireless network. Television networks could then develop a live streaming protocol and just become a node on the network.
CTL-* is reveal codes in Word 2010 at least. Alternately, it's a button (paragraph symbol) just left of center on the Home ribbon. Our support staff has been using it for years with previous versions of Word.
No map could have helped you. You ran into that problem because i-95 North magically turns into i-295 South just past Princeton and then starts heading back down to Philadelphia. You'd have to take the exit to i-195 East and then take Exit 6 to get back on i-95 North, which is the New Jersey Turnpike at that point. I live in the area and I'm just figuring this out.
Relative to what we know now, it was a piece of crap, just like any technology from 2001. Taco, on the other hand, was complaining that the original iPod didn't do wireless...a feature that, in 2001, would have been an awkward implementation and of little use to most users. Apple's M-O is to *not* implement bleeding edge technology until it can be made practical for most users. This is why the iPad didn't come out until only recently. It did have less space than a Nomad (by a gig...ooh), but made up for it in form factor.
Let's be specific and honest here. It's going to result in generations of dumber American kids, whose economic overlords will originate from other countries.
I came here to say that I will begin cutting Comcast's cables that are strung across my property if this goes any further. I simply want $1 million per month in rent.
I'd have to say as an atheist, a priest would actually understand the theological concept of the boats and helicopters coming to rescue him as a function of God. It's the idiot followers that would end up drowning.
If the point is to end up at Windows 7, I would think after DOS, he would move onto *OS/2*, then NT 3.5, 4.0, 2K, XP, etc. OS/2 was intended to be the successor to DOS, whereas Windows 1.0 through 3.11 was just a shell that sat on top of DOS.
It's dead simple. There is a huge leap between looking at a facebook page of old girlfriends and moving on versus opening your heart up to someone behind your wife's back. A good rule of thumb is that if you can't admit something to your spouse, you're probably doing something that isn't healthy for your relationship. It's not the length of time you spend writing or chatting, it's the context and the circumstances.
All of the icons have text below them. Any icons that do not (the formatting buttons such as center, left-align, indent) didn't have them in the previous versions, either.
All I can say is that my telephone stopped ringing with Excel questions about a month after we switched to Office 2007. By that I mean I was dealing with support issues non-stop for every previous version of Office we've used.
The last thing I want is my friends, family or co-workers knowing what I'm watching. Quite frankly, I think Boxee jumped on that bandwagon during the social media craze to land themselves some VC funding from the stupid rich.

It's like the word "cretin" in English. But it seems to have the connotation of "fucktard" in your culture. Good to know!
I can see issues with GIMP, although the types of people most likely to be offended wouldn't know what a gimp is in the first place. But GoDaddy?
I bought a 32" Westinghouse TV at Best Buy to put in the bedroom with my Roku and I'm blown away by the quality.
It has a faint tinge of purple, like when you put a magnet up to an old CRT and screw up the ion gun.

Not to sound like a dick, but they didn't know that "9/11" was occurring on 9/11/2001.

But now I'm feeling guilty about all those years of freeloading Telix to dial into the local BBSes.

Nutshell: The Salem Witch Trials were a farce to effect a land grab from property owners.

Admit it--You're all jealous over how easy this guy got off.
