Access point MACs, signal strength, and latitude / longitude coordinates gives you a geolocation database you can use to calculate your position via WiFi, ie: skyhook.
Oregon gas is usually cheaper than Washington and California, even with full-service, due to lower gas taxes.
You can fill up yourself on the indian reservations like Warm Springs, though.
I heard that its actually legal to pump your own gas, just illegal for the stations to let you.. So if they're being slow, just get out and grab the pump and they'll run to help you.
Actually, one reason I haven't bought a kindle is because it does not contain a built-in light. (The other reasons would be cost and DRM)
I like to read in bed before I go to sleep, and having to use a desk lamp or a book light is rather annoying. I currently read some ebooks on my iPhone which works pretty well on its lowest brightness setting.
I would prefer a bigger / better resolution display, though, which is why I have atleast considered some ebook readers. But having to turn a light on just to read? Not really an option for me.
Now, during the day an eInk display would be wonderful! But it needs to work in the dark as well, atleast for me.
That's not even an advantage anymore, as several apps can cache the maps for usage when away from coverage.
My app, iTopoMaps, is specifically designed for this usage as it provides USGS topographic maps in the backcountry. I've had countless users tell me they've stopped using their Garmins, etc.
Battery life is still an issue compared to commercial units, and the GPS isn't the best, but hopefully that will be remedied soon by some external bluetooth units.
I've had a pain in the ass time doing dual monitors. Not to mention, one of my monitors can pivot (rotate) 90 degrees.. (its nice to see 2 whole pages of text when your typing on a "long screen", instead of a widescreen) but last time I looked, there is no easy way to adjust that either..
For what it's worth, both 2nd monitor and rotation are easy GUI options in KDE. I haven't used Gnome in many years...
Plugged a new monitor into my laptop and it just works.
I was an Opera convert until they let their non-windows versions lapse. When I couldn't run 5.x (Windows-only), Linux was 4.x, and Solaris was 3.x... It just wasn't worth it anymore.
I switched to firefox and haven't looked back. And if they had taken $$ for linux/solaris, I would have paid.
I think people just react differently to altitude.
My anecdotal experience is that after living my whole life at sea level, I pretty much ran all the way to the top of Long's Peak, hung out for a while, and then ran down with no negative effects whatsoever.
Although perhaps the speed of the ascent/descent helped? Although my other times above 14k have been pretty pleasant as well.

Guess: Some sort of queue/FIFO with a bug in the read/write pointer logic that causes it to effectively decrease in depth over time.
The bug is not severe enough to drop/corrupt data, which would have made finding the issue easier, but eventually performance suffers.

Ha, no. Nobody tips them except maybe tourists? So still cheaper than CA/WA, but not sure about Idaho.

Yea, but the cat always eats them way before they get that large...
If you don't have a GPS, it uses wifi-location. So its not ridiculous at all to ask; maybe you should
have tried it before complaining?
It works rather well, actually.

That's right, but every GPS-App relies on GPRS/UMTS/EVDO to download routes and maps; you cannot use them outside of cell-coverage.
This is incorrect. Many download maps on the fly; many store maps in flash.

How do you know it doesn't change that when you run it?
How are they completely useless outside the US?
They are valid for land and sea travel between the US and Cananda/Mexico.
TVs? Yes.
Cable Boxes? No.
And that's why I only use OTA ATSC.
Yep, I have a Logitech Trackman Wheel on all my computers.. Have never found anything even close. The thumb-action is ideal.
I do wish they'd come out with a bluetooth version for laptops, though... Their wireless dongle is too big for portable use...

Or you could just got to the car manufacturer's website (in my case Honda) and look the radio code up for free. Worked for me!
You could try contesting the charge on your credit card... (If you used one..)
I got the run-around on a $100 rebate on a $2000 fujitsu laptop, and my CC company happily took back the entire $2k until I finally got it.
Strangely enough, just days after the chargeback they seemed very interested in fulfilling the rebate.
Interesting. Perhaps a util similar to i8xx_patch could be used to repair/modify the bios values so that the X driver works as is?
i8xx_patch fixes a problem with the BIOS missing valid widescreen resolutions in many laptops...
Alas, McMenamins doesn't hold a candle to the Alamo.
No food/bar service throughout the movie, and the food is the regular McMenamins slop.
Beer is better, though, but that's pretty universal in pdx...

Myth works great with HD. Two cards that I have used are the air2pc and pcHDTV.
I've had a PVR-500 (dual NTSC) and air2pc (single ATSC) server running for quite a long time now.
I actually found HD (digital) to be much easier to setup than regular analog.
Yea, "xrandr -o left" is pretty damn complicated.
Does this mean global temperatures are decreasing?!?

I did make sure to hydrate well, though.

That's not what the above poster or I am looking for.
That one is a single unit for two channels, non-amplified, and only plays MP3/WMA.
I want:
transmitting unit w/ digital 48/96khz spdif input. (Stereo is fine for me, although I can see 5.1)
multiple receiving units w/ a GOOD DAC and a GOOD QUALITY (50-100W) amplifier. One unit for each speaker.
I just want a way to place remote speakers in other rooms/floors wirelessly connected to my stereo and not have it sound like shit.
