I love NPR programing without the pledge drive or the guilt associated with not giving money during a pledge drive.
Actually you get 2 NPR stations for talk.

Hi there,
Thanks for signing up to be updated on the latest Gmail happenings. We hope it's been worth the wait, because we're excited to finally offer you an invitation to open a free Gmail account! Just click on this link to create your new account:
I have a dual 2.0 g5 with 1.5 gb of ram and I run virtual pc and windows xp on. Don't believe the hype it is usable, but it runs pretty slow.
I only run a legal office management client on it and nothing else. Some times I use it to get files off the office windows network when it does not agree with samba for some reason (they have an ill configured NT machine as a server)
Don't get me wrong, I drink the mac kool aid, but I would be wary of buying a mini to run virtual PC on, you would be better off with a real pc or remote desktop, which runs great on the mac.
I can not believe that they have not fixed this yet. This is the single most annoying thing about the ipod.
I am a dj and often use my Ipod to "warm up" the crowd. My mixes are all one solid mp3 so I do not get that annoying click.
I wish they would go ahead an fix that.
It also sucks to listen to live shows
There was a mac in the computer lab of my high school that would lock up untill you whacked it on top. It was one of those pizza box shapped machines, in the os 8 days.
It was pretty funny because people would be freaking out because their paper was lost or something and you could just pull a "Fonzi" on it and it would come back to life.
Between this conversation and the endless discussion of the mac mini vs. the cheap dell, I love pro and anti-mac punditry lately.
It is like the blue state/red state divide.
If you do not like macs or their 1 button mice or their graphics cards, do not buy one. Apple can go out of business with out you.:)
Seriously, I have custom built pc running windows and g4 laptop and dual g5 running os x, and they all have their purposes.
I will say this though, my 3 button mouse on my mac is the exact same as the 3 button mouse on my PC, except that every couple of times I restart windows XP, the logitech mouse driver on my PC just starting reversing the direction the cursor moves to the direction I move the mouse and I have to restart windows to cure it.
Macs are good computers for your parents, that just happen to kick ass at design and video editing and run UNIX apps.
For a bunch of self defined "nerds" people here sure have a problem with high tech phones. I guess they have never wanted to look something up on google in the car, or connect their laptop to the internet wirelessly, check their email, or take a picture of something funny or important.
My nokia 6600 is awesome, gets great battery life, and reminds me when i am supposed to be places. Bluetooth lets me transfer information from my laptop to it, such as contact and calendar events.
It has revolutionized the way I use my cell phone,
If all you want to do is talk on the phone, thats fine, but as a bunch of nerds you must see how the smart cell phone is the future. Oh yeah, it never drops calls either.
My roomate has one of these and it is pretty cool, the keyboard is not so bad for messaging,
I have a 6600, which rocks, the battery lasts for ever. I can get my powerbook online via bluetooth and GPRS with cingular. The address book and calendar syncs with Ical. I can play gameboy color games, IM, ssh, and various other things.
This is my 4th nokia phone and surprise all of the charges still work, so I have a bunch of them, that is the best part
>In the event that someone forgets to turn their phone off, it'll sit there chirping out its maximum transmit power every once in a while, searching for a tower it can't find
No wonder my phone runs down so fast when it has no signal, like when you are in a ski area, especially Snow Shoe Mountainin West Virginia, which is some sort of EMF free zone because of a radio telescope.
Special note on the ATI Radeon 9800 XT: due to size of this advanced graphics card, the adjacent PCI or PCI-X slot will be blocked and cannot be used. This reduces the number of available PCI or PCI-X slots from three to two.
you can add the card, but it makes sense to not include this card
At the Buckland Hills Mall, in Manchester CT, in 1993, some scam artists installed a fake ATM machine. They had negotiated with the Mall officers, pretending to be Bank officials, and had gotten permission. Apparently, they even got the phone company to come in and lay down some lines. Then, they installed an ATM machine they had stolen.
It was programmed to read off the account numbers, remember the PIN as it was typed, then claim some kind of error and refuse to give out money. They left the machine in the mall for a WEEK, collecting PINs, then they came back, took it machine back to "repair", and have since printed up new cards, and have been using the PINs to siphon off money.....
I think they got about $250,000 before the FBI got them
I understand how everyone loves to hate on XP, and I really hate it for daily computing, I use a mac/linux, but I have to defend XP for a musical platform.
I use an XP machine with Native Instruments Traktor (DJ software) as a professional club DJ 2-4 times a week.
This machine has nothing on it but Traktor and It has never crashes, starts up quick and just runs with out a hitch.
I could see how, if this thing actually works it could be pretty cool, as I have seen a lot of acts with a laptop and a midi keyboard.
""They tried to scare me," Borrayo said. "They told me, 'You're a pirate!' I said, 'C'mon, guys, pirates are all at sea. I just work in a parking lot.' "
This is pretty scary, when are they going to show up to night clubs and bust DJs for public performing the music.
I DJ 2-3 times a week at clubs in Chapel Hill NC and absolutly love Traktor, my hercules external sound card and my Oxygen 8. I am even helping my DJ friends, who have been DJ for 5+ years on vinyl, to build tracktor systems.
IF this thing send midi control, I will use it to replace my current sound card and mouse. It looks like it has some potential.
I would never buy anything of Shop At Home or HSN but I did see them selling a Roomba, the original robot vaccum that people seem to like, the other day.
Infomercials are a different story, that stuff is almost always crap.
The shopping networks tend to actually sell real brands, Dell, sony, etc.
On May 27, the day before the council was scheduled to formally make its choice, Microsoft's Gallman faxed Ude a letter accusing the Linux camp of cheating, according to a copy of the letter obtained by USA TODAY. ''That our competitors SuSE and IBM were given a one-sided opportunity to improve their April 28th offer, based on detailed knowledge of Microsoft Germany's offer, is not in accordance with our legal understanding of the ground rules of fair process,'' Gallman wrote.
I feel so sorry for microsoft, they have always been on the screwing end of anti-competive practices.

just put the email addresses you want to use in a comma separate list, then there is a drop down that lets you choose which one,
some@somedomain.com, another@somedomain.com, email@something.com
will give you a drop down list,

My mp3 collection is 230GB, what I am I to do,
./s disagreeing the whole time.
really, if you can not decide on 4gb of music to go on run or to the gym, you probably should spend the extra money and buy the big one
Remember the people buying these are the same people that might have just retired the disc man or shockingly, a walkman.

I am sure that anonymous payments will never truely be possible because of the threat of money being transfered to "Evil Doers and Thugs"
Now drug dealers are going to have no problem transfering their money directly to the terrorists.
