If code is 'c l o s e d'...you can't read it to know if it is cleaner or not...if you can read it, then it is 'o p e n '...now get away from my desk so I can work.
"How many times do I haf to tell you...if you don't want to take my word as proof that the light goes out when you close the refridgerator door, yer just gonna hafta climb in there and let me close the door so you can find our fer yerself!"
How do you tell the difference between an open wound and a closed wound? - stiches....
Close the door...but, Boss, it's not open....it will be when you leave, so close it after you get the hell out of my office! Enough with this open code/closed code crap already.
I worked for a large west coast bank myself, once upon a time. So I see your whereof, and call.
I'm talking now only about the credit agencies, and the fees they charge.
While your points are valid, I believe they are another part of the entire credit/financial web, ebb and flow, and thus outside my comment.
Ok so we changed the topic to banks....
I mean, if the butterfly principal is true, and as small an action as an incorrect digit on a beauty shop balance sheet in Peru can affect the price of raw sugar in Bulgaria ten years hence, how can we actually define locallized impacts such as a new law governing credit reporting?
Also, remember when the banks told us that ATMs would reduce fees? I'm still waiting.
Top 10 statements, if you use a wireless Airport network, you will not prefacing with "I'm sorry for...":
Another hole in the wall/floor/ceiling
Another unused/unneeded hole in the wall/floor/ceiling
Another spool of cable you may or not use...ever.
Another 6 hours of the network being offline each time 1 & 2 come around.
Another 2 hours of testing to find out if the problem is with the new cable or the router config (each time 1 & 2 come around)
Failing to understand the difference between CAT5 and CAT 6 while standing in the aisle at Home Networks Depot.
Failing to remember to buy 10/100 ethernet hubs (instead of just those cheap 10mbs hubs that still lurk on the shelf).
Failing to properly count and total all existing computers in the home (did you tell me you wanted one in the laundry room too?)
Damn it! When did we buy another PlayStation???
Damn it all to hell! When did they start putting ethernet ports on (insert favorite consumer product here...TV; MP3 player; xyz set-top box; baby monitor; door bell; burgler alarm)
The law will require free credit reports on a regular basis...one year I think.
These cost $15 and up now...who do we think that cost is going to be passed on to? Do we believe the credit reporting agencies will absorb it?
No, they will pass it on to the businesses they sell to now, and those businesses will pass it on to the consumer, just as they always do. Thus the cost of credit will go up.
It is the consumer fleecing that I'm referring to.
I've been living the wireless dream for over two years now...audio and video go full circle, with everything from my DV camera, to 2 PlayStations, to an iBook...G4...Linux box w/PVR....DVD players....big TV...VCRs, all living happily together.
Computers.....home theater... it's not difficult. and I can reconfigure at the drop of a hat. Anywhere I want, inside or out.
He may have spent six months, but his dimensions are not correct for a true pyramid. His enclosure is too high and clearly out of proportion. He made the same basic mistake as most people when building DIY pyramids...all edges are not the same length.
Amazon announced today, two years after they first opened their data for harvesting and scrutiny by 3rd parties, that they have been purposely salting that data for the last 18 months, for the purpose of skewing any results gleened by said 3rd partiers.
Amazon will be selling their own un-skewing software, for anyone that wishes to know the truth behind what they thought they knew the truth behind before.

Expect SASIxp to be gelded soon, if not already...ouch!

Did you know the Audi A8 has an all-aluminum body?
...ho hum....
You mean like the Ford/AC Cobra, back in 1965? Or the Land Rover?
I can barely fit all the file data/info I want onto a 700mb CD label. How am I expected to cram 50% more.... :)
The font is so small now I need to ask for help....
You put your left foot in,

You put your left foot in,
then you....what was this about?
I showed a photo of the new G5 to my dual 1.25 GHz G4, and said ...on your mark....get set....GO!!!, and neither of them moved an inch.
I had a stopwatch, start/finish line, champagne girls on the podium and everything.
I have to admit, after all the talk recently, I was pretty surprised at the results.
The G5 has requested another match, later in the summer, so we'll see if things come out differently then.
You mean on the DP G5's, of course.
Here is a photo of the single board in my 1.25GHz G4 dualie...
What do you think I've been doing with this photographic memory of mine for the last 47 years...
All your book racks belong to us!
...was that only users with such low karma as to make them shunned by lepers could see the new sidebar.
Can you describe it in detail for those of us who aren't yet fallen angels?
Let me see your wallet.....uh huh....10...20... $32.00. Just as I suspected.
Give it up. It takes money to take money and you don't have what it takes.
Timothy wrote the lead in, and George wrote the blurb. Pick your poison.

So, let me get this straight...

Try it, you'll like it
All good points, if you are building a dedicated computer network, but he's moving MP3s....very light duty...
My iBook runs audio for me day and night...off my G4, via Airport & Rendevous. Bandwidth is not an issue.
Why would anyone use anything but wireless, networked devices? I don't get it, sorry.
joke...it was a j o k e..... Norway, Schmoreway...
Norway has refused Poland's request for entry into the EU. until they upgrade all their air conditioners to be Energy Star Compliant.
