  1. Re:I live in Kansas... on Proof Is In: Kansas Is Flatter Than A Pancake · · Score: 1

    I won't look down on you for choosing KSU over KU, but Lawrence is also very non-flat.

    The campus of KU sits on a hill, and some of the residential streets resemble San Francisco with very steep inclines.

  2. Truth and Lies of 911 on Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands · · Score: 1

    I'm not affiliated with the video or site, but this video does give some great facts on the patriot act as well as other conspiracy theories.

    www.copvcia.com for more info, the video isn't worth buying but it is worth watching, try downloading it somewhere.

    I think what people are missing is that yes it is a license that you are buying. However, it is not a license for *ANY* song, just for that one.

    He owns the license for that song on that medium (8 track) not CD. And, probably not another 8 track, just that one he bought. If that 8track is destroyed then he will have to buy a new license for that song on that medium.

    They still do with gas prices as well (some have gas stations). They sell below cost to get rid of competition and then get sued.... but they can afford it.

    All culture is just rehashes of another culture. In fact most music is cliche and overdone, especially country.

    And you don't think rap is cliche and overdone? Go to BB and take out all the rap music that doesn't talk about Bitches, Drugs, Money or Guns.

    See how much you have left.

    some of these nerds might be navy seals... heh.

    seriously, if you want that, then watch fox. But given the # of posts from the last war article, I think many would disagree that there is no place for it here.

    yes, but can you goto cnn.com and see what your fellow nerds think/feel about the war? I think everyone would agree that people come here more to read/respond to comments than read the actual articles. :)

  11. Re:Reason for H1B Visas on Sun Sued Over H1-B Workers · · Score: 1

    I am an american citizen. We are in the INS processes right now (not fun). The same rules still applied to her when she was hired in the US (before we were married).

  12. Reason for H1B Visas on Sun Sued Over H1-B Workers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I thought one of the contingencies of hiring an H1B worker is that the employer has to prove that they cannot find a worker of equal skill in the US job market. If they US workers have the same skill set but are just more expensive then this is a violation of the H1B processes.

    That being said, my wife is currently here on an H1B, and I am fairly sure that there are not many people that can do her job and I believe she is working via an H1B on all legal issues.

    That is no lie... I have the 7.99 mlife addon which gives you 2mb/month and anything extra is .02$/kilobyte. It adds up VERY quick.

    Just as a test, I used the gprs connection on the t68i to dial a connection (via infrared) to my laptop. Loaded slashdot.org, waited... closed the connection

    STATS: ~580k down / 115k up.

    That is about 15 cents to just load the front page. :P

    The purpose is not to sell. I asked the major vendors pricing on their blade systems (IBM,Dell,HP) The all commented that I need to contact my sales rep. They are there to show off products only.

    The smaller guys are selling items, but this is small.

  22. I use Freshdirect all the time... on Step 2, Groceries · · Score: 2, Informative

    I live in lower Manhattan. The grocery stores down here are horrendous! We were one of the first neighborhoods they delivered to. The first order had a $50 credit. My bill for the first order came out to $1 (i went over). On the second order I had a credit for $25 and still free delivery.

    Since then, I have used them about 10 times, and so far it has been good. The prices are the same that you would see in a large grocery store in the suburbs. The only problem I have seen is that they don't carry a lot of grocery items i like. They specialize in fresh foods. Since I am not a gourmet chef, I tend to buy the easy to cook items.

    I am just happy that I don't have to shop at Gristedes anymore. The thing that bothers me about NYC is that every deli/grocery store claims they are 'gourmet' you'll see the dirtiest slop whole of a store (gristedes) and they will carry 40 different cheeses, 40 different olive oils and nothing else!

    I will continue to support fresh direct, but I am skeptical that they will not stay in business. Or if they do, they will raise prices to the NYC going rate which is extortion.

    Anyhow, if you are in one of there delivering zip codes (if you are you surely have heard of them) I highly recommend trying them. The delivery people are very nice, and they actually do not accept tips.

    In a city like NYC where customer service is second rate, it is nice to see a company like them come around.

    Notice: I do not have any relationship with the company; I am merely a new resident of NYC that believes buying groceries for a reasonable price should be a right for everyone.

    Thats not the point... in a few months when you can buy a 4GHz P4 off the shelf, you will be able to OC it to 8Ghz, and then what? The cycle repeats itself.

    There is a reason why the OC market is live and well. I still remember going to 3dfxcool when I got my voodoo.
