You may not but apparently a bunch of people in my dorm are smart enough to memorize their number but still pretty stupid.
As we understand it now, someone hacked into the student directory database (or a student with access sold the data) and we all started getting calls to our dorm phones. I personally recieved two calls as did at least one person per room (which is abnormal since it has only been a month and a half and none of us use these numbers) telling me something about sending me a credit card. I never stayed on the line long enough (if I wanted one I would get it myself, never succomb to the telemarketers so I hung up the first time and the second time I acted really excited about it until a point...then I asked if she liked it up the ass...she asked "did you learn that in school" with a bad accent) but apparently some people did and ended up giving away all of their info including SSN.
These people should be smart, they go to a top university, but they still gave out their info to a telemarketer and now most of them have finished talking to the authorities about it.
The average gamer is going to probobly have their preffered monitor/keyboard/mouse and simply no longer have a system capable of playing the newest games.
They have all their software and accessories but they just dont have enough muscle for the newest stuff so they need new internals and nothing else.
The key samples to bring would also be the effect-inducing compositions. Sure the basic background environment stuff can sound cool but what is going to impress the person more is the unique music that creates the frightening mood or the joyous mood at the end of something. If you can do that well and get someone to feel the effect based on the music alone (without seeing the lighting and level design), they will understand that you can easily fill the inbetween points with something good.
Viewsonic unfortunately does this all of the time. They release different panels in the same case (thus completely different monitors).
the vp191b is like this. The newest revision is a great panel but the one before it (often seen on unheard of tech sites for sale with a strangely low price) is nowhere near it in specifications. They really need to start doing revision numbers.
It should be added that while Vanderbilt has a school named after him, he was in fact a dick who thought it might look good to throw out a little bit of money. I believe he gave the school around 1 million and never came near it again unlike the some 500 million Rockefeller had burned through before he died.
Personally, I hear of the Rockefeller's most every day though that may be related to the fact that his generous heaping bags of money (which he always referred to as his best investment) were used to form the University of Chicago. Rockefeller never really had a great fall either...standard oil was split up--into 37 oil companies (just as oil used was starting to soar) that he owned large amounts of stock in.
on mandrake you go start up the urpmi gui (aptly named "Install Software") and type gaim
You now have gaim and all its dependencies sorted out and it works. I love gaim on all OS's and have converted many people. My school (university of chicago) will actually be including Gaim on the CD they give all students (it now contains firefox and a preconfigured thunderbird).
And, if it works how I think it does, it would already be universal since the voltage conversion is handled by the coil and circuitry in the device to be charged and is only being supplied an alternating current to make the magnetic fields induce current.
I think that that might be AC current running into the pad. As I understand the system, it is the change inherent in the AC system that allows the inductive power to work. I am pretty sure that my toothbrush connects the 120AC to the coil in the charging base and then my toothbrush makes up the other half of the transformer that turns the power into something useful.
If it works like this, there would only be one conversion thats only slightly less efficient than the standard power adaptor. Also, most electronics come with cheapo inefficient DC adaptors, I would hope that if this charging pad needs an adaptor, it would use a high quality one to combat double efficiency loss.
The general standard for doing things like this is one of the finale software packages. The full on yearly releases of Finale are capable of way more though so you would just need to go on ebay and pick up a used copy of Finale PrintMusic or something or you could go here:
and pick up a FREE copy of finale notepad which isnt really the supreme "composing" software but will work for entry and playback. Unfortunately, the free Finale Notepad doeasnt support scanning IIRC which can be nice (scan in a piece of sheet music and it interprets the notation) though its not so hard to find a copy of Finale 2006 floating around if you look.
I believe that the problem with those ionizing air cleaners is that people think you place them where you DONT want dust. When you do this, the dust gets sucked toward the machine and right into your computer...the proper method would be to put the air cleaner on the opposite side of the room
Pretend its a dorm room and loft your bed. This may seem awkward if you only have a single, larger bed (as I assume you and your wife do) but if you have a queen size bed and build a sturdy loft for it, you could have a nice entertainment area below. There would definately be room for a TV on the wall with all its associated parts and a small couch at the foot of hte bed. Since you would probobly be sitting to watch TV, you wouldnt have to loft the bed as high up as normal.
Its extreme, its radical but with a large bed its like adding another small room to the apartment.
1) well, I've got a lot of cards and selling individually would most likely be too difficult (though if the market is quick enough that I wouldnt flood it on my own, it might be doable).
2) I know they dont pay much (they gotta sell them for a profit after all) but some of the pricelists of the online shops I have seen looked fairly decent (both on rarer cards and junk cards). The problem is that I dont know which ones are the most reputable or pay the most (maybe there is a better shop that does a bad job of publicising itself).
3) I'll add you to my friends list (hmm, you are already friend-of-friend) and maybe take you up on that if I ever get around to making some sort of list of my cards.
I am a big fan of the TabX plugin. It adds a little x on each individual tab which I have taken to using more often than the red one (I can decide I am done with a page and close it without clicking back to it).
Unfortunately, the newest version of TabX instead removes the red corner x (I still use it sometimes) and uses the same graphic on each tab (I liked the little text "x") and I dont know where an old version is available. I use version 0.5
I was browsing through it and I kept installing things and now I dont evern remember everything I installed.
Hopefully the ones I am forgetting are those little useful utilities that show up when you need them (like foldersize) but you dont have to actively use.
I've found that for some things that that actually works very well. I've found programs, scripts, and even the.wad files for the first 3 DOOMs by simply asking in my.sig.
It also seems that the better the comments you post, the more inclined people are to help you.
Or maybe you need to try more V3's (the other guy notes that he has tried MANY phones).
The predictive text has its strengths as well (though it needs to insert spaces automatically...)
The address book works fine when you change some settings. It handles multiple numbers just fine as long as you are intelligent to realize that the picture of the phone means "mobile" and the picture of the house means "home" etc.
The first character search is usually enough to get you close, but it is easily fixed with a newer firmware.
With the calls, of course when someone calls you (and the menus switch to incomming call) the button is going to terminate the incomming call since thats what its asking about...
Its a great phone when you just want a phone...I do wish that they had ditched the camera as its crap (just like all the other phones) and replaced it with EDGE but for some reason the public loves buying camera phones.
I would say, after you build your computer semi-securely, go in there and nip off all the USB/firewire headers as well as "disabling" the attatched usb ports at multiple points (preferrably with a dremel tool or similar).
Once the inside of the case is locked up in steel, leave one external port. Make it a scsi port and replace the connector with some other connector with a similar amount of pins. Its going to be hard enough to find a good scsi dvd burner but once you do, lock it into an enclosure that terminates to the opposite end of your modified connector. Take that drive and lock it away. If somoene needs to take data off of the system, they will have to retrieve the guarded drive from a highly clearanced person who will then watch them copy the data (or do it for them) and swiftly remove the drive as soon as they are done.
I dunno what goes on on your server (maybe you play allianc?) but on Smolderthorn, people are pretty good about trading in the trade chan, grouping in the group chan, etc. I think it helps that you cant shift-click items into general chat and the people who are looking for good groups understand that many plays simply/leave the general chat so they dont have to see the garbage.
actually you dont need the promo code, you just have to prepay for two years and you get it for that price.
And to those considering switching to dreamhost, It would be cool if you would use my referral link and help a poor college student out (using the referral link does not raise your bill at all).
I have had similar issues finding webhosting reviews when I was trying to migrate a site from CIHost's crap. They all seem to be fake or complaints from clueless users. I eventually stumbled across an ask slashdot from a few years ago that was a person hunting for hosting. Thats where I found dreamhost and it has been nothing but great since (and a great deal).
You should give Dreamhost a try. Their lowest level hosting is a great deal and provides more features than many more of the more expensive hosting providers. And yes, that IS a refferal link, you are free to leave me as the refferer or not but it DOES NOT CHANGE the final price you pay to dreamhost. The bottom plan is $7.95 a month either way and you get 2400mb space, 120GB monthly bandwidth, 600 IMAP/POP mailboxes, php/mysql/cgi...and TONS more. I am extremely happy with it.
Nintendo just needs to contract with Rockstar Games and get new versions of GTA with sex that doesnt require anything special to get at. Follow that with some more mature (but tastefull) themed games and you will have the 13-18 audience...who knows what it would take to get past that.
If you want to see some quite interesting (in what they are capable of that is) machinima, check out some of the World of Warcraft movies out there.
Sure, a lot of the movies you will find are just recordings of pvp battles or new techniques for doing something but there are some true films (though I have yet to see one with full voiceovers like rvb). Check out "Not Just Another Love Story" which has a fairly large cast (lot of extras), cool "sets", in-game special effects and a fairly entertaining story (albeit lots of sex).
The real limitation of WoW (though I suppose the same is true of Halo but they make it work) is that you cant use a map editor to build your own sets and the appearence of the characters is limited to what is offered by the game though the game is large enough that there are MANY locations and articles of clothing available (but you have to level that character up a fair amount before the shoot can be done)
