Your mistake was in the initial eval/quote stage of the project. The geek in you assumed the client would want and/or be better off with a dynamic design.
In reality, your client wanted fast now over quality and lower long run costs.
Also, if at THIS point in the project you have to explain to your client what you are doing, you didnt "sell" the project properly to begin with.
Is that why I have two loyalty cards on my keyring and three more in my wallet?"
At most Kroger stores, you can hit the top center grey button on the CC input box. The screen will show a K+ on the display. Type in the phone number associated with your Kroger Plus card, and it will process the discounts.
I'm not a shrill for Tmobile, but am happy with their service and specifically looked for an international roaming plan before porting my number from Nextel out.
We chose the Motorola V66 phones because of their triband functionality.
After activating the TMobile Worldclass service (free to activate) I have traveled to Europe without a problem. I switch to the local band, and I'm on in most cases. Only once have I had to call local customer service.
There is a list available online. I do know that my triband does NOT work in Japan. But you can actually rent a phone from Tmobile if needs be. Since you mentioned Japan as a destination, this might present a problem for you.
Guess you dont get out much then. TMobile has pretty much always had removable sim cards. Why? Because it is one of the few cell phone companies selling in the US market with a large worldwide romaing plan. How did this come about? Because TMobile is actually an international company.
And to think you got moderated informative. Too bad there isn't a misinformative option.
The biggest problem you may likely run into, is that the big online computer places will only ship to the billing address of your Credit card or an address listed as approved for shipments by your credit card company.
The second biggest problem you will run into with at least Dell (and this is really my only complaint with Dell) is that you order today...its might get approved tomorrow..."built"...then tested for 24 hours...packaged....then placed on Fedex/UPS truck for a day and THEN shipped overnight.
I just bought a Sony D-NE510 this week. It plays CDs, CDR/CDRW (with mp3s or ATRAC files)
The antiskip works pretty well. Since I listen while I jog, that was a must have. It also has a "hold" slide switch that allows you to lock all the controls so you don't accidentally bump and change something. Also has a feature that limits the maximum audio output to protect your hearing from tracks that aren't normalized.
I loved the warning in the manual about copy protected cds not being supported.
I concur with the author that the included software is slow and just a little kludgey. It does rip cds to ATRAC as quickly as CDex rips MP3s, so in that regards its fine.
I bought it because for $59 I got 640mb of available storage over an MP3 player that might only have 128mb for the price.
So far, I've noticed that I need to remove spaces from the filenames of my mp3s in order for the Sony to find them on a cdr or cdrw.
My MP3s are either LAME or the Radium hacked codec encoded and they all seem to work fine.
All in all the ATRAC format is as good as the MP3 format in audio quality. However, the proprietary nature of the format will have me only ripping my collections to MP3s.
Besides, I want to be able to play those MP3 cds in my car as well, and it does NOT have a Sony in it.

Viacom, SCREW YOU. I dont need that other crap you force onto us, but damn it, now you are taking away a CHILDRENS channel through your heavy handed ways.
As for the excess commentary from the poster, yeah, I want the DirectTV goons coming to the house demanding all my smart card devices.
1) Does your PC have to be in the same room as your TV.
I have the PVR in my office. TV out into a modulator into house antenna wiring allows the PVR to show up as a TV channel on any other tv in the house. Most modulators are around $20 or so at best buy or radio shack. Mine were a bit more, as I wanted to dictate more than channel 3 or 4 as the output.
2) Does your PC have to have somebody logged in? In other words can it run as a service under W2K.
In short, yes. http://www.snapstream.com/Community/articles /pvs_s ervice/ -- slashdot sucks, fix the space in the link.
As a PAID customer of the 3.x series, I am impatiently waiting for fixes that will resolve the application crashing on some systems.
If you are thinking about buying, take the time to read the user forums on snapstream.com.
The end user helping end user support has been considerably better than the official answers in some cases.
I wanted the new features of 3.4. I ended up reverting to 3.3 to have the system work. 3.3 runs with no problems. Love the program.
My concern is that currently a released version (3.4) filled with problems and the company's answer is "want to try the beta of 3.5?"
No, I do NOT want to try a beta on my dedicated video server to resolve the problems in your RELEASED application.

That all being said:
Athlon 1.4 1 GB RAM Windows XP SP1 Nvidia FX 5200 ATI TV Wonder 200 gb of storage Snapstream 3.3
The ATI does the capturing with the NVidia handling the TV/Out. The output is run into a modulator that allows me to feed the media server into any tv connected to the antenna wire on channel 4. I have ripped all of our DVDs to xvids, so the kids no longer get an opportunity to scratch them up. Drop them into one of the directories that Snapstream knows about, and they are available for the kids to watch on demand.
I really like the ability to set up recordings from the road. Using the web interface and coming back into the system from a remote location lets me check recordings, setup new recordings, and even download/watch recordings.
During the Womans World Cup last fall, my daughter and I were in DC for 6 games. We took a side trip to Philly for 2 games. At the time I was playing with the 3.1 or 3.2 trial version. We would hit a wifi hotspot in the evenings, eat some dinner while we downloaded games that we had recording from other venues.
System will also allow you to watch a live stream through the web interface. My father who is overseas, occasionally wants to watch sporting events or other shows. He comes in, sets up an event, and watches.
I'm not regretting buying the application. The version I thought I was buying didnt work as promised. The previous version DOES run as promised, so it is functioning quite well for me.
The pump and dump scnerio has been poo pood in the past here on slashdot. The basis for the dissenting opinions is that the primaries of the company must file in advance of any sale.
This is true. We wont argue that point.
However, Darl and his ilk have learned to manipulate news cycles better than most politicians can. They have been able to do pump and dumps, just over a longer period of time, and with what seems to be within the SEC rules.
Today seems to be the first time that the cycle didnt work well for them. Their shareholders are beginning to waiver a bit it seems. Another few million in losses DO add up over time.

I have a EMachines 600id that has been running for almost 5 years now.
Straight out of the box, we removed windows ME and dropped linux on it.
Other than an HD in it, its been running as a little mail server/firewall since day one.

The rest of those I never watch and wont really miss.

Exactly what we did here.
No reason to buy 3 DVD players, 3 vcrs.
Tried the wireless video distro systems, about 4 of them, none of them were good enough to leave installed here.
By broadcasting back into the antenna wire, we already have an infrastructure for distribution.
