Strongly concur,
I refuse to work on these POS. The owners also tend to be pieces of work. Kudos to GM for doing us all a favor by buying the brand and putting it down.
No offense to the workers in Trollheim.
Peace?
Hello world,
The U.S. T-Mobile network predominately uses the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 1900 MHz frequency-band, making it the largest 1900 MHz network in the United States. Service is
available in 98 of the 100 largest markets and 268 million potential customers.
Like Checkpoint Tmobile has been owned for some time. We have everything, their databases, confidental documents, scripts and programs from their servers,
financial documents up to 2009.
Wow, some of those are hard. It does not seem to have occurred to anyone else upthread to ask questions that a robot would not have any problem with but that a person would. The closest one was that goatse suggestion but that one denies service to normal folk.
It is right across the street and has been for three months. I watched while they put it on the poles. There is a coil of fiber hanging for each building. I'm planning on buying their triple play, who wants comcast. The fiber is not dark, many houses get it already on my street. My availability, not so much. They are not doing it right.
on the other hand I like. Personal preference of course. The IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 with the tilt wheel is really nice. What I really want back is the IntelliMouse Trackball.
Clicky feel, silent, 24 function keys across the top, ten down the left, dozens of spare and sometimes strange keycaps, half inch thick, manual, a programmers dream, but I like the noise of the Model M.
I type Dvorak. The Northgates are nice because they have the Dvorak switch and the ALPS keys but the Model M is superior because it has a curved backplane. That means you can re-arrange the key caps without a cat drug in look, i.e. more like a green and less like a rough. Also there is a business that repairs Northgates. And ya I had a Focus with a built in calculator and a macro switch that no-one could explain. It did not survive my most recent move, something about a ten keyboard limit.
there was a comment about converting one to usb. A dropping resistor is required because the Model M draws too much power. You can buy mine at my estate sale.
when you come to my estate sale. 1130805 10Jul87 & 8596235 14Dec92. You can keep your Selectric. I saw one on a free pile at a church rummage sale. I'm only going to carry one home if it is a model 2 wide carriage with a box full of golfballs, red/black ribbons, and corrective ribbons. And then only if it is free, without scratches, and proven to work perfectly. I mean it about the Model M.
All of my Northgates are in the basement. I use an IBM model M for a pretty good reason. I dvorak when I key and I was captured by Northgate by the switches. The IBM advantage is that the backplane is curved which makes it easy to move the keycaps. Try that with a Northgate and see what happens. The keycaps are not all the same shape and angle. Looks like a minefield. YMMV and you may not need this feature. Both are great.
I missed two, which I'm OK with. Judging by the comments on/. the order of questions is suspect.
I missed 13, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas would concur that: which is here called 16,
because I had forgotten that these guys weren't very nice, and
29 A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because: which is here called 30

is one that my brother noticed vis a vis the earliest days of the insurgency in Iraq. If there is a lethal attack every day, it is organized.

I had a Garfield doll and an Odie doll. . .
My three year old cell phone weighs three ounces and has a battery life of almost a week.
NO!, DOWN! Not unless the U.S. senate declares war

The parent rant was due to the grandparent being modded +5 funny. I prefer insightful. Peace
WTF, over. What the fuck is wrong with you people. This is not funny, my mother is likely to die of AD. Really, try a little tenderness. Peace
Gee, no takers.

To make one compatible with usb requires adding a dropping resistor.

"FAIL" Both funny and insightful. Your choice. It is OK to take a day off once IN awhile.
