Bingo! Every modern Jeep that runs on larger than stock tires either has had the speedometer output modified electronically, or is displaying an incorrect speed. You can buy a handheld programmer that plugs in and allows adjustment for wheel size, differential gearing, etc.
The same probably applies to every jacked up 42" tire rig-rocket pickup on the road.
PS, how can you tell that I live in an oil bearing province?:-D
Opening the back is handy for cleaning the sensor which from time to time gets a bit grungy during lens changes and such.
It's a simple function which is woefully missing on most DSLRs.
Most modern DSLRs have a "cleaning mode" that is essentially a mirror-lock-up mode, where the mirror is swung up and the shutter curtain drawn to expose the CCD. Then you hit it with a blast of air from a bulb (not canned air!!), an Arctic Butterfly / cleaning swab, or a greasy digit, and voila, clean CCD! Just don't grind the sand that you're trying to remove into the CCD; I hear that sucks:-P
Not only that, but the pro photo labs make sure that their chemical baths are all within tolerance. I've worked in the industry before, and lemme tell ya, most of the bargain store photolabs don't spend nearly as much time and effort making sure that their chemicals are as close to perfect as possible. There's nothing quite like paying for processing, only to discover that today was the unlucky day and some minimum-wage labmonkey accidentally added a little bit of stop bath to the developer...
Professionals (those who shoot medium format and spend upwards of $10k just for a sensor) are willing to pay $6 - $10 / roll for developing by a lab that is willing to close for a few hours and tweak their chemicals to get DMAX back within spec. The beauty of a digital back for a medium format camera is that the uncertainty / occasional lost or mangled roll, etc. can be completely avoided (plus all the other juicy benefits of shooting digital)
When they come out with an affordable 6x7 back for my RB67, I'll probably have to mortgage my cats...
And conversely, the fake "social" bullshit they do when trying to market their products and being cool and edgy. As if buying a Microsoft product will suddenly transport you to wild parties where everyone is having the time of their lives.
Beer companies have been doing this for years... It seems to have worked well so far! (not that beer really needs advertising to begin with...)
Another nice way to get a SYSTEM privileged command prompt is via AT:

C:\>at 13:06/interactive cmd Added a new job with job ID = 1
Wait for a minute, and a new command window will pop up.

This will work on XP and Server 2003 for sure, and doesn't work on Vista. Probably also doesn't work on Server 2008. Depending on how effective your domain administrator is, you might even be able to do this from a regular user account. Be careful who you let run the AT command;-)
His baby monitor has just as much right to operate in the frequency bands that routers do. The whole "unlicensed" part means that you can basically do what you want with that portion of the spectrum, so long as you don't intentionally cause interference (AKA run a jammer) and keep your broadcasts under a certain power level. Baby monitors probably don't count as jammers.
And there isn't any laws that say it has to play nice with, or even use the same channels, as 802.11 b/g.
How are your packets more legitimate than his analogue audio transmission?

How can you make 10 incorrect password guesses with no battery? :-D

I think that's what http://scroogle.org/ is all about.
If the external cooling for the oil failed, you might end up with some mighty crispy techs...
Just in case, have them roll in breading before going in; then you could at least salvage the meat :-D
Mmm... Country Fried Tech...
But what if they have a mole in your counter-espionage research department? ;-)
Perhaps the GP planned to unzip his skin down the back, peel it forward, and present his entire "surface area" to the sun?

When this packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
Your whole damn OS pauses to abort...
Your confusion amuses me.

Well, if we can skip the mercury component, it might be significantly more environmentally friendly.
I will never look at a bunny the same way again...
**shudders**
I can assure you that Dust Devils are quite common on this mudball we call home:

thanks for those links, that second one from milkw0rm is just jaw-dropping...
I'll second that!
I'm glad that I don't run their software for my hosted clients, that's for sure!

Have fun!
For one (admittedly extreme) example, GCC -> EGCS. The fork was so successful that it was eventually accepted by the FSF as the official GCC.

I am here to rescue you from the terrible secret of space.
And global cooling in the winter! O noes!
Then again, they might just balance out and leave the entire planet temperate...
This also works with dating sites. Gotta make sure the "date" is fresh and hasn't been handled by other prospective customers!
Seconded!
If you look into junked 4x4s, you can add transfer cases to the list of bits to strip off.
They do. They're called adaptive brake lights.
And I bet it doesn't even arrange the EtOH into hexagonal microclusters!
Everyone knows that microclustered boozahol tastes better, purifies your aura, and cleans your Chi! (or at least gets you drunker...)
