    Oh no! Circular reference!

    This works nicely, Thanks!

    Yes, Have a lawyer draft up a good solid disclaimer to be signed by the consultant/consultant's organization. No matter how secure it is in transit, it's once it's in their office you may really want to worry about...

    I get mine via DSL on the copper wires they used to refer to as phone lines :)

    Well, starting at $8.95 per month, I think you could still afford to go & purchase a few DVD's a month. Alternatly hook up your VCR (Or DVD recorder) and record it just like you would from Cable TV :D

  7. Re:Brings to mind Jurassic Park on Bits of Tassie Tiger Brought Back from Extinction · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pfft, We all know that dinosaurs never actually existed. The bones were put there to test you....

  8. Re:Well, obvious stuff: on Fermilab Calls For Code Crackers · · Score: 1

    Both numbers beginning with one, and if you convert the ticks to binary nibbles, then to hex as done by dcornewell futher down the thread the result is: E 6 7 3 3 9 C E 7 2 4 9 9 3 9 8 which contains neither 1 or A. I'm stuck now trying to decide which is the key, and which is the code, as there are multiples of some symbols as well.

  9. Re:First row of first stanza on Fermilab Calls For Code Crackers · · Score: 1

    Hmm, 1 & 10.. that is an interesting pair not to be used, I wonder if there is a reason not to use numbers beginning with a 1?

  10. Re:First row of first stanza on Fermilab Calls For Code Crackers · · Score: 1

    Or, as A & 1 do are not used they were simply omitted?

  11. Maybe he hasn't been to a book store in a while? on SCO's McBride Testifies "Linux Is a copy of UNIX" · · Score: 1

    Like 20 years ago a while?? I think I'd find it hard to believe someone who seems to be making up obviously false 'facts' as he goes...

  12. Re:What's the distinguishing characteristic? on Judge In e360 Vs. Comcast Rules e360 a Spammer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    USPS is no longer part of the government, they are a corporation. They wouldn't deliver something for less that it cost to get it there...

  13. Re:What's the distinguishing characteristic? on Judge In e360 Vs. Comcast Rules e360 a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Well, recycling anything addressed to 'current resident' or without an address at all, gets rid of a good chunk..

  14. Re:What's the distinguishing characteristic? on Judge In e360 Vs. Comcast Rules e360 a Spammer · · Score: 1

    It costs nothing to anyone but the sender in snail mail, where as with email it costs all parties for the bandwidth. Similar to fax spam which cost the end user the paper & ink..

  15. Re:Obituary for the 2 horizontal lines on Obituary For the Sony Trinitron · · Score: 2

    When in college I had a Sony Trinitron which was just over 30 years old & still had a vibrant, clear picture. Although I did have to tweak the colours a little (easier said than done without front panel controls!)

  16. Re:Hmm good bye automotive paint?? on Femtosecond Lasers Used To Color Metals · · Score: 1

    Not to mention speed. I'm certain that it takes more than a femtosecond to paint a car ;)

  18. Re:Genius! on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    The point is, that they don't double the price of their croissants at 11:36 am, because there seems to be a high demand for them.. then bring them back to normal at 12:54 pm. If they did, people would go elsewhere, however highways are not quite as plentiful as bakeries and you might not have that choice.

  19. Re:Genius! on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    Scratch that, I RTFA and it seems they are rather planning a rate that varies in real time. Novel idea, but sounds bloody annoying.. you'd have no idea how much it would cost you any given day/month.

  20. Re:Genius! on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    Still doesn't sound especially novel... We've had this sort of pricing system on the 407 ETR for a while here in Canada, varying depending on day of the week, time period & and starting in February, they are also factoring in which section of highway you're on.

  21. Re:OH NOES!! on National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You're Under 50 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think the idea was that they had 'valid ids' plural, one of them had 4 from different states which I suppose somehow helped them with their terrorist activities. This will help to ensure you can only get one licence.

  22. Re:Why the thrifty? More like the reasonable on Shuttle's $200 Linux PC Part of a Trend? · · Score: 1

    Well, as there's no DVD-ROM drive. I'm afraid you'll need to get your movies from the pirate bay...

    If you read further, you can load pictures onto the SD Card, and set anything you like as the screensaver :D, very neat.

    Or they could try competing with DSL providers in the area and not have a bandwidth cap?

  25. Re:Road Signs? on British Village Requests Removal From GPS Maps · · Score: 1

    What you really need is a not a 'no trucks' sign, but rather a 'maximum height XX meters' sign, where XX is lower than a large truck, and higher than a say a minivan, complete with steel beam across the road just above that height. I expect that would stop just about every large truck.
