I can't believe you didn't include the most famous laggy game of all The Legend of Zelda. There were two places where you could always get lag, near the fairy in the center of the map, and any area with lots guys shooting arrows (or boomerangs in the underworld).
I had a corrupted volume twice (music played fine but the neuros would hang at shutdown). Both times I removed the HD and put it in my laptop. Both times fdisk reported no partitions on the drive. Both times I put the drive unchanged back into the Neuros to have it say the drive needed to be formatted because it couldn't be mounted. The initial problem was the neuros would hang at shutdown. It played music just fine but I couldn't shut it down correctly which eventually gets me to a point where it won't let me access the drive over USB because it can't dismount the drive and switch into portable HD mode. IBM/Hitachi diagnostics report no errors on the drive, and no bad sectors.
They had a decent password policy, better than most. Getting admin rights was just as simple as calling the local IT guy to hook you up. Since I was at MS, they had pretty much the entire MS product catalog available from add/remove programs. (When selecting add, a list of apps would show up.) They also hosted a site for just software that you could find older stuff if needed. (Win3.1 was still available if needed). One site was just called http://linux and it had all the "talking points" needed to host a decent anti-linux conversation with a customer. There were a few iMacs and G5 Macs on the floor but I never saw anyone using them since we shared floorspace with the graveyard shift. Critical updates were sent down pretty much every week or every other week. You had X number of days to install them before your network jack was shut off remotely. Then you had to call the internal helpdesk (staffed by HP employees) to get them to unlock your port just long enough for you to get your update loaded. Basically they were probing the systems constantly to make sure you had all of the critical updates loaded. We used all the standard stuff like MS Office Pro, (we usually got the "Gold" versions forced on to the computers a few weeks before they went retail). I forget the helpdesk software we used... Compass something I think. If you ever make it inside the Irving, Texas office, stop by the Starbucks inside the cafeteria in the morning, say hi to Manuel (the free breakroom coffee is horridly undrinkable for some reason). And for lunch grab a burger from the grill, they are to die for. (Seriously)
I know iDen is a Motorola product. I've just never heard of southern linc before today. (I had a Cingular phone when I traveled in the regions that had Southern Linc coverage) They appear to be a regional provider because I put in my zip code (which is currently serviced by Nextel) and they said they don't offer any coverage in that area. "We are sorry, based on your zip code choice, Southern LINC currently does not provide service in your area. Please check your zip code for accuracy and re-enter if necessary."
That's why I said "in the united states":) Nextel does have subsidaries in South America and Telus in canada maintains a compatable network that uses the same phones as Nextel.
There's really no such thing as an unlocked Nextel phone. Nextel is the exclusive provider of iDEN phones in the United States.
I guess you could take your "unlocked" phone to canada and try to get Telus service but I heard they don't allow outside iDEN phones on their network.
Admittedly I don't know much about batteries but it seems like they could keep a giant battery there and recycle the fluid from your battery and pump in freshly charged fluid. Instead of recharging the batteries, how about you go to the "fuel station" and have the old electrolyte pumped out and fresh electrolyte pumped back in. Make it so there is a quality test done on the station's battery fluid so that if it reaches a certain point , perhaps 75% efficiency, the station has some of their fluid pumped out and fresh fluid pumped back in.
I got a package of PC speakers designed for Dell LCD displays which origininated in China. The cardboard speaker boxes were bound together with something that resembled a 3 foot long strip of papyrus with a papyrus bow on top. I was able to remove all the speaker boxes from the larger shipping box easily by lifting from the bow, as the papyrus-like material was very strong. It made me think about the plastic that they could have used but didn't. I was impressed.
If you look at it simply in terms of Right and Left politics, this is the way I see it:
Voting Bush= +1 Bush -1 Kerry
Voting Kerry= -1 Bush +1 Kerry
Voting Nader= +0 Bush -1 Kerry
Voting Badnarik= -1 Bush +0 Kerry
Compare this to Ross Perot. His party became the party of disenfranchised Republicans.
I'm having a mental flashback of the scene where the anti-missile system hits an MTV satellite and the girl's TV explodes, where she exclaims "Awesome!"
Kerry, in regard to Americanized politics is left of center fiscally. Libetarians are right of center fiscally. If you are voting on a personal rights issue, the democratic party has been known for more govermnent encroachment. Wanting to socialize healthcare, raise taxes on people (this time around anyone making over $200,000) which includes small business owners. Where as things like health savings accounts and tax cuts for business owners puts more control back into the hands of citizens. Putting more money back into the hands of business ownwers allows them to expand the economy by hiring more people which creates more consumers which helps business expand. Badnarik wants to isolate the US by taking out of the world. FDR wanted to stay out of world issues until the the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor.

Ok, well I'm off to overclock my Nes emulator.
Yeah but those were actually Microsparc cpus.

Maybe someone can figure out why the HD erases itself when you remove it from the unit.

Why not Wiki-Dicky?
But won't challenges look like spam servers probing your system.
With Alex Chiu's fantastic Magnetic Rings!
Technically you did as well.
Who relies on encryption? You, me, government, business, charity, church.
I talk to God (the Jehova one) over a 1024 bit 3DES encrypted tunnel. I don't want those bastards like Vishnu, Allah or Qetzoctl listening in.

I work for a large grocery chain. SOX is here as well.
They are taking URLs inside spam mails, not mail server addresses.

Props if you catch the ref.
