    Mc Donalds? Burger King? c'mon give us a clue..

    seriously, it sounds like you are not in america and decentric idealizing the costs.. it's a few hours pay here for most people too..

    go look for WBYCM1 wbyhh03 wbymw1 and wbybm1
    the microwave sounds neatest, scan a UPC and the microwave is ready to cook..

    they all interoperate, and you can access your appliances from the internet (i.e. slow em down if you are running late)

  14. Re:statute of limitations assumption on Mitnick Calls for Hacker Stories · · Score: 1

    I agree, it's not retroactive lengthening of a sttatute of limitations. but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck.. it's a chickenshit fact of the legal world..

  15. Re:Triangulation on Your Cell Phone Is Tracking You · · Score: 1

    apologies, I was thinking in circumstances where the local topology (land height) is well known. since towers are fixed locations, you could map this out.. but it would suck.

  16. Re:statute of limitations assumption on Mitnick Calls for Hacker Stories · · Score: 1
    bullshit.. they do it with terrorism.
    breaking into a computer is 'hacking' with a X sentencing guideline and a Y statute of limitations..

    if a DA finds out at y+1 that a guy in his district hacked boeing.com, he'll file charges under something other than hacking laws that have expired..

    something like terrorism laws that have a sentencing guideline of x^2

    Knowing height does not require 4 towers, 3 works

    it requires that one tower is straight above one of the other two.

  20. Re:Comparing battery prices... on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1
    Building the case to contain the battery and have a removable door would have required a much larger case.. absolutely..

    an integral battery that's built in, going from the one side of the device to the other means you have layers of casing you wouldn't otherwise...
    why not make it something that connects openface as the end of the ipod? and screws/locks/clicks in..

    something form fitting that adds a little bit of depth.. something that could come in different capacities.. like sony infolithium batteries...

    ahh, my post poorly worded, and I can't do justice to your reply.
    I've read them all, although it's been many years, the chapters where aslan is killed,

    Not that anyone here has RAFB (read all five books) but it gets real christianity based at the end.... if they make them all movies, a lot of people will be gagging at the last one or two.

    or read more closely.

    Cnet, yahoo news, and others- have had stories spelling out the increase and the reasoning behind it.. dsl competetion.. where verizon is trying to entice folks with lower rates for DSL, comcast is competeing by raising the d/l limit.. not reducing prices..

    if I could get dsl I would, it's the 256k upload cap that is my biggest problem.

    and how many people can do this at once.

    In my home office, I have a TV, I have a computer.. while I watch tv, the wife does email or Diablo..
    while I slashdot, she watches Friends.. -- how many UBERdevices would I require?

    the only way this works is one uberdevice per person.
