The GPS in your car (that the dealer installed to know where it is should he have to have it repo'd) will tell the authorities that you stopped at the surplus store. The minitature ID tags in the used bio-hazard suit you carried out the door will synchronize with the digital video captured as you cleared the register and your face is on file as we speak.

What makes you think eBay has a corner on the big-brother market. If you fear black helicopters, you're not safe anywhere.
I didn't and wouldn't recommend eBay. They ripped me off with a c'card scam that took 6 months to settle, and then only because the bank helped...eBay ignored me. I simply tried to point out that things like we used to find in back rooms and storage units are more likely to be found online. It is clear that my use of eBay as a general example was far too specific for your present disposition (AC's are like that, I know...). eBay frouqad and google tracking is another issue for another day.
There were toll roads...and gates and gatekeepers that charged a fee to cross, lest you incur the wrath of the King. This kind of 'spot tax' led to many things, including graft, corruption and turf wars. Eventually, Kings were replaced by nation states and these scenarios of pay-to-pass were seen to be necessary only to offset costs associated with maintaining roads and bridges.
Fast forward to this story, and we find a new use...income stream. And we see the resurgence of graft, corruption and turf wars. Ahh, sweet history, how I love to meet you, again and again.
The first radio broadcasts were essentially faked...the announcer was not at the park. He had someone relay him the bare facts over the phone, and he would add color commentary according to his imagination and experience with the game. Radio listeners thought he was at the game, and followed every word. This proved to be a hit, and broadcasters were eventually allowed to be inside the park for live action commentary.
What does this have to do with broadbandcasts? Wait and see what content actually shows up on the net... Is it real, or is it Memorex?
...insert one rectally and grunt...hard. If it doesn'remove your sphincter and at least 5cm of surrounding tissue, they're still good to go up.
Seriously, I've used ones that old with no problem. They are compressed tighter than traffic in Seoul. Supposedly, soaking them in water will negate their reactionary properties, but I always light them off to make sure they're spent.
That's what MS wants to world to believe. Dig around inside Encarta sometime. You'll see other twists of history, but this one is missing. That's because they can lie all they want in a press release, but when it comes time to going on the record, MS doesn't want it's shiny image smudged...might get them in trouble with a 3-strikes law down the road. Assuming we ever get an administration that hasn't sold out to bg.
Again, the only public 'evidence' found today that there was an 'investment' occurs in tuned up press releases. The truth is buried in sealed court docs and protected by NDAs.
Not the 'MS invested in Apple' myth again, please. MS coughed up $$$ as part of a patent lawsuit settlement agreement. Any talk of 'investing' was just so much bs from the MS public relations mill in another attempt to rewrite history in bg's favor.
"Can you tell me what my new pwd is, please?" "...no..." "Look jerk, I mean mr admin, sir, I need to know what my new password is, so are you going to tell me or not? "...no..."
"What's your password?" "It's random." "Great, glad you use a smart strategy, now tell me what it is, please." "I told you, it's 'random'" "How can it be random...you have to decide it when you rotate, and of course it's picked at random...so, anyhow, tell me what it is right now... " " it's random....I just told you!!!"
But if you must, pick up a GSM cell phone and simply dial in to Juno, etc. Otherwise you'll spend all your time looking for access, and not smelling the roses.
I mean what are you going to do...stop at every StarBucks just to tell the world you've stopped at every StarBucks?
Hey!!! Cool!!! I'm calling you from the airplane/highway/truckstop/motel!!!
Since we don't know exactly what his 'mission critical' tasks are, exactly, we have to take his word for why he chose a G4. It sounds like this guy already has reason to trust his choice. After all, it's not just the hardware nor just the software...it's the combination, and in this case, they are strictly made for each other. I know of no other examples that come close...
You can FTP from the Finder in OS X. You can also pull pages via email and then there is the Software update panel, but that assumes Apple is serving it that way...then there is software update from the command line...and there are those discs that came with the computer - you can install IE from them long enough to http Safari. And then there is your friend who can mail it to you and sneaker net and...too many ways for it to really be an issue, me thinks. Anyone not savvy enough to know about the choices at hand has other issues, and they will be looking for someone to help them as it is. That help entity will be able to support a request for a new browser, I'm sure.
I guess it's like having more than one car or one mountain bike or more than one girlfriend. And yes, I have more than one of each of those. If one doesn't suit your needs, you switch to the backup. Maybe one beer suits your needs, but I like variety and options, etc.
In the case of DVD players, I use the Tredex due to all the formats it will support, and the fact that it came to me as region free. I had a VCR that I used as a tuner to juggle the TV signal feed out of the wall, but I moved that to use with my Macs, so I picked up a combo DVD-VCR player as a replacement.
This gave me two DVD players on the main component setup. I recently mod'd the combo DVD-VCR to be region free, but it still won't play all of the discs that the Tredex will, and since it is also my VCR and tuner for one of my TV sources, it stays and that leaves me with two DVD players online...then there is the Sony PS2, and the iBook, so that comes to four...then the Mac G4 that feeds audio/video wireless to the home theater system, so that comes to at least 5 players online. I'm looking for a 5 disc DVD changer, and as soon as I find one that meets my needs (region free and multi-format), it will be included in the home theater system. Choice is good...drop by sometime. I'll be happy to demonstrate.
Don't hate me cause I'm pretty:) - I work for one of the largest electronics manuf. in Asia, and video equipment of all types is more than just a hobby. I can also afford to feed that hobby.
The ones you can count are the ones that are online. I don't count the one in the car....the ones I've brought to Asia in the past 4 years that are no longer useful (unable to region free/ no DTS, etc)....the ones I've taken in trade for other equipment I have stored at home waiting for me to convert to region free status and/or find a use for...the ones on my desk at work that feed the 24" LCD's on my desk...the ones I've loaned to friends that can't afford anything more than a used VCR, and the ones I've rescued from the trash. If I counted the ones in the lab that I get to play with, we would need a warehouse.
Sorry, but I get to roll around in this gear, and when it comes time to list what I like to use on a daily basis, that list changes on a weekly basis. R & D is more than just a line on my business card...I'm a lucky guy.
Adapter will let you connect an IDE HD....it's all part of the reason to buy the Linux kit. The VGA adapter needs a sync-on-green monitor...that's the point you need to pay attention to.
You don't want to bother with Firewire under Linux....it's not ready without tons of bother. I tried and regretted it.
USB analog audio out? Why bother...the PS2 has an optical out...SPDIF. Use it and dummy down from there.
Upgrade the RAM? Not without a hefty budget and a lab. Use a ram disk if it's an issue.
I burn my own DVD's and buy DVD/VCDs from around the world. I want to know that I can play anything I burn or anything I buy and bring home. So far, so good. In terms of being able to play a given format, the Tredex wins over Toshiba, Sony, JVC, Samsung, etc. Try DTS music sometime if you want to really trip up a comsumer player.
If you can't find a Tredex, try Apex...any of the discount off brands...they seem to be a bit more 'compliant'.

it's called 'eBay'...
Gone are the days of walking thru musty warehouses full of neat stuff you can take home for a song.
After all, this is 2003, and virtual rummaging from the comfort of home is all the rage.

Now if they'd offer hot showers and bunks, I'm all set.
They never learn...
...then you'll love (?) the conclusions on this site - We should have the guy that did that page restest with Safari.
"Can you tell me what my new pwd is, please?" "...no..." "Look jerk, I mean mr admin, sir, I need to know what my new password is, so are you going to tell me or not? "...no..."
Where's BOFH when you need him

"I told you, it's 'random'" "How can it be random...you have to decide it when you rotate, and of course it's picked at random...so, anyhow, tell me what it is right now... " " it's random....I just told you!!!"
...since the poles flip/shift every few million years, it should be no surprise that rotation would suffer in the mean time.
By the way...when is the next pole shift due?
Blogging across country? Please....

Don't worry, you can't get in. The age limit is thirteen and you have to be at least 4 ft tall.

distain for Slashdot.
Try a little lemon juice, I hear it can be very helpful with stubborn stains. Otherwise, you might want to start using a bib.
I have more DVD players than I can count. My Mac's (G4 & iBook) and my Tredex 8010 consumer player seem to be the best bets.
I burn my own DVD's and buy DVD/VCDs from around the world. I want to know that I can play anything I burn or anything I buy and bring home. So far, so good. In terms of being able to play a given format, the Tredex wins over Toshiba, Sony, JVC, Samsung, etc. Try DTS music sometime if you want to really trip up a comsumer player.
