The Luxardo.it site that was linked at the bottom somewhat reminds me of how anyone can design a site (badly) today. Not only is it "canned" flash, it is elementary "canned" flash.
What the f*ck were you thinking? That makes it all the more harder for the rest of us! Keep your damn employees so they don't flood the market with useless people and maybe I can get a freakin job! sheesh!
Mainly so I can get file attachments of ANY size because I host the server. On the other hand, recently I replied to a message from a student at a university that e-mailed me and I got bounced for being on a "residential IP". But there was a link to click that would e-mail the user asking them for permission to add them to the "allowed list". It sounds better than AOL's plan. Perhaps the bounce message could have a picture with some colors and some text and have it ask you a question about the picture as proof that you were a human. Such as "There are X kittens in this picture and Y dogs" and then you reply with x=3 y=4. Or even as simple as the Yahoo auto-reg test where it gives you letters in several different fonts on a background and you have to re-type them in.
I lost a bit of weight last year while being unemployed. I just drank strong coffee when I woke up which turn out to be laxative like. And just drank coffee most of the day. I was never really hungry but had dinner (so basically one meal a day plus the milk and sweetnlow in my coffee)I guess the caffeine speeds up your metabolism too.
Sadly the diet quit working when my body decided it knew how to counteract the laxative effects of the coffee.
However I did loose about 10 lbs a few weeks ago by doing 50 computer installs in 2 days plus cramming Penguin mints in my mouth all day for the caffeine. I guess if you can keep that jittery caffeine feeling all day you can loose weight.
If you can find one with a JetDirect (ethernet port) built in, that's a bonus. The JetDirect usually includes an lpd-compatible print server, so Linux likes it, and MacOS loves it. Windows even works mostly, as much as it ever does anyway.
As the only guy that was doing the Mac stuff where I worked, I loved the LPD server. Some of the newer JD cards have http servers in them. Once again HP4's rule.
Yeah, my school [baylor.edu] has a no-cost policy -- you can print out up to 100 pages per day at no cost. For the last 2 years they've been threatening to start charging, but they never will because the Dean of Libraries has said that printing is a service that must be kept free in the same way that computers are free to use. A very nice guy:)
A far cry from 10 cents a page from the Jr college that I went to. That would have been helpful with me printing out 250+ page solaris manuals after hours at work;)
HP printer fixing used to be one of my many duties and I've found that the straight 4 (4, 4plus, and 4M) were some of the best printers ever made. They never die. The 3si and 4si are different matters. Since they are high capacity printers they tend to suffer from dried rubber parts, stinky fusers and stuff like that. I never could figure out the difference between a 4 and a 4plus but the 4M was postscript (M maybe meaning Mac since the Macintoshes had to have PS printers). Another plus about the 4 is that it took 72pin simms, had 2 mio slots and could be upgraded to a duplex kit. Just a great printer IMHO even better than the 5.
Oh I've had it from the tap as well there are several bars and restaurants that serve it.

Dell's optiplex line still is available with an ISA slot. It uses some strange sideways connector that the isa adaptor plugs into. On the isa adaptor is a National Semiconductor ISA bridge. There is also a company that I saw before that makes a USB to ISA adaptor box.
I find you can make a perfectly decent cup of tea by putting 2 bags of tea inside your espresso maker and adding 1 cup of water. I found this out while I was sick and didn't want to sit around waiting for tea. Then I made my own concoction. Tea + orange juice. It helps loosen the phlegm in the throat and gives you a boost. I suppose I could take the tea out of the bags and be able to cram another bag-full in there.
I've tried splenda in my tea and coffee, and I find that it does not provide the sweetness that other substitutes do. My idea sweetener (what I do at restaurants) is use 1 part sweet-n-low and 1 part equal. It tastes more like sugar that way. I have however had ice cream made with splenda (commercially) and it was very good.
but how many of us have heard the stories of Coke dissolving a nail, t-bone steak, etc.? I've also heard highway patrols carry coke to clean the roads after a messy accident.

I'd be interested in someone finding a way to rig Guinness Draught in a can to come out of some dispenser. (Perhaps filling it with the little ping-pong balls?) Just to impress small groups of connisuers. I was lucky, I turned 21 and worked with a guy with Irish ancestry. He got me hooked on the stuff while I was impressionable. To me, Budweiser tastes like foamy sour sugar water.
I thought Philips already said that since copyprotected shiny silvery discs could not be called Compact Discs because they broke the Redbook audio standard. Did this just go away? I think we need to come up with a better name for the discs, perhaps Compact Frisbees.
I didn't say "come in english" I said "have some english support" Say you buy a japanese computer with japanese windows, you still can type in English on it. Most companies assume that you at some point might want to write in english.
I do use outlook to check my pop mail. It just takes forever to check my hotmail. Just sits there for several minutes without a single message downloaded (even w/o attatchments)
More things that google has going for it. I've actually clicked their paid ads many times. Because many times they are "spot-on" what I'm looking for. They may say it loads fast on a 56K modem. But there are times when I'm out of range of a phone jack or ethernet connection. That is where my wireless phone comes into play. Not the high-speed GPRS mind you, just a 9600kbps data connection over TDMA. And Google's site is up within about 2-3 seconds. The google logo is 8.5KB and the html source is about 3.6KB and searches are just about as fast.
I can check my POP mail accounts very quickly but checking my hotmail account either by hotmail.com or using Outlook is unbearable. I usually just skip it until I can get a higher speed connection.
Besides, Google has a cluster of linux based pigeons doing the work in the trenches. At best, Microsoft will get a constantly blue-screening flock of Thanksgiving Turkey rejects.
He's building computers using spare parts boards for other systems. So I'm not sure what you are gaining over a regular Mac. Sounds like the DIY Mac using e-bay article that was posted a while back on Slashdot.

Now I just need to give myself a stroke for a legit reason to carry a bottle of this with me at all times while working!

My point being the people who "claim" certian things vs people who know those things.

Has anyone else noticed this trend of poorer and poorer quality printers, at least in terms of life expectancy?

Buy an imported PDA and get full language support. I have yet to see any computer that didn't have some english support.

My point being, what do you gain over doing it yourself?
