Someone had mentioned a plane flying through the spans and crashing there, does someone have a link to that in the news? Im sure there are a few planes down there, too.
...in a Cessna 172 and the ceiling of the NYC airspace down south of the GWBridge is 1000 ft, so we'd fly down the NYC side at 600 ft and down and around the statue of Liberty, then up the NJ side to Alpine tower. I haven't flown in years, but Im sure the regulations are MUCH stricter since 9/11.
On a second note, how many PCBs are in the riverbed and would be disturbed and brought downstream. Dont know if they'd "stir up" the environmentalists by suggesting going down for the wrecks/moving them.

That's pretty funny, someday they'll be paying for the bandwidth for dialup users since so many people will have ad-blocking software. How about they pay us back for OUR time we waste viewing their ads? That'll be $4.97 please.
Don't they realize that the TIVO is not a Peer to Peer unit like the Replay TV? I own a first gen TIVO, so unless they changed the TIVO2 units to allow you to share with other TIVO2 users, why would they care, since its close for most users, unless they decode the video files?
I know with ReplayTV people can "share" their files and this is where they get into a huff over, but shesh, the Tivo can't share without major mods, right?
...do they still have the FREE BATTERY of the MONTH club? Gez, I used to work in a RS store while in college and this little kid would come in with a battery card, get a D battery, go home, change into his little league outfit, come in and get another D battery, go home put his cubscout outfit on, and come in....and so on. He'd have like 4 FREE BATTERY cards.
Smart kid, but shame those old red RS batteries would last about 1/4 of the time a normal batter would. I used to just laugh and go along with it.
First Contact is the best TNG movie. Good story, good plot, awesome effects and some good humor as well. Generations bridged the gap, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as First Contact.
Let's see. It has to cost them $40 for the hard disk, and maybe $40 for the DVD unit and maybe $9 for the power supply. This doesnt include the Nvidia chipset and the motherboard. Put that cost in there with the development of the sw bios and advertising and poof.
Anyone have any inside knowledge of what they pay in bulk for these components?
...just as people said before, switch it off, make sure its always off unless you want to play your "backup copies" of your games, or play QUANTUM in the MAME emulator. MS has the right to ban whomever they want on their service, and if people want to play still on the Xboxlive, they'll go out and buy another xbox once its down to $149 and MS will lose another $150. Oh well, life goes on. Mousetrap/mouse/better mousetrap/etc...
I have been taking Cipro for a under the skin infection which was caused by a hit to the shin (sparring accident with someone's knee in martial arts) and it got infected after a few weeks. No breaking of the skin was apparent, just the pain which slowly went away. My doctor put me on 10 days of Cipro since the infection looked quite serious. I know the requirement to take all 10 days, and intend to (2 days away) and the infection is going down and clearing up in color and size, but I have a question. To those people who use antibiotics as prescribed and complete there use, does using antibiotics throughout your lifetime make you more prone to resistant bacteria in your old age, or is it more a combination of the environment, hospital workers, clean environments (or not), and just the normal progression and evolution of these bacteria? Thanks, not in the medical field, and I know there are many books out there on this topic which I intend to read, Im sure those books would answer that question, but was curious.
I still collect DVDs for the movies Id like to see more of, possibly special features, or the behind the scenes footage. If its a newer movie, in theaters Im still going to go see it since a poor-quality sounding, visually acceptable movie is still crappy. Id like to hear some dialogue when I watch a movie. I think the only movie I enjoyed watching "that way" was Ice Age, the animated, and the sound was ok, but I purchased the DVD this week, so Ill enjoy the rich color and possibly a better sounding soundtrack. I think it'll keep happening until most movie theaters are equipped with better security, possibly XRAY machines when patrons come into the viewing area, to keep out Video Cameras. lol
While I dont think its amusing that the sniper took the lives of so many innocents in DC, shame MS didnt take to a different town than NYC. They weren't fluttering colorful MSN butterflies running around a few weeks ago in DC, shame.
(I knew that would get your attention.) Actually. For the father, grandmother, kid in high school or someone without a technically-savy background, AOL is just what it is...a good start for people to learn online skills. I have tried AOL, its very basic and I have to say without broadband its terrible. I would think the child controls help someone with kids in the household rather than unleashing the whole internet on them. Chatting (some rooms bad), IMs (from strangers not good), and Im sure theres a lot of other bad things on AOL for the younger crowd.
The main reason they're still in business is that there still is a high percentage of people with computers which wouldnt know how to go about getting out onto the internet and finding things without AOL offering them in menu format. (well, gui menu format). Not saying it sucks, since for that crowd its great, but as the world's population becomes more PC and tech literate, AOL membership will be slowly creeping downward. It serves its purpose for those who need it. Yes, they do have the largest dialup list, possibly bigger than AT&T worldnet/prodigy/etc.
I know other Tivo supporters have written this already, but its all about convenience. Here's the lineup:
Star Trek: The Next Generation - nightly 10pm tnn, Enterprise - wed 8pm, Saturday Night Live - nightly a few times, Friends - nightly a few times, JunkYard Wars - tues 9pm, The Man Show - once on Wed, once on Sun, Crank yankers - once a week, Simpsons - twice a week here and there, Great Blunders in History - once a week, Frasier - Twice a week, once a rerun on cable, COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS - all of them.
So, if there is a super VCR out there, which can do this without me putting in a tape every 6 hours, I'd buy it.
How about this. I have only seen The Pink Panther a few times when I was much younger, so I made a wishlist for the actor: PETER SELLERS, and the Tivo will record every movie he's in thats on. So far, it Found "Shot in the Dark" and "Casino Royale" Find a VCR which can do that.
As previously mentioned, which VCR will show you who is the Guest host on SNL and if it was an older one, which music guest was on it? None.
I bought a refurbed Tivo from a place in CA mailorder for $199 (30 gig), and then installed two 120 gig hard disks in it for a total of 300 hours of view time, shorter length for quality video, but still more than 100 hours. Total cost: under $400. $12.95 a month is ok, some people buy TV guide, the newspaper, some cigarettes, I pay for Tivo. Its the simple most useful technological item I own after my PC and cellphone. What I love the most is that once you look at the description of the show Im going to watch, and Ive seen it, or dont want to watch it, poof, deleted. No rewinds, no tape changes, no labeling.
Secondly, my father is elderly and he loves certain TV shows. So, we setup his TIVO to record Law & Order, CSI, CSI:Miami, The Practice, NYPD Blue, Judging Amy. He watches them and deletes them when he's done. If he has seen them, he deletes them. No tapes to lose, no tapes to label, no forgetting what tape has what on it, and no getting out of his chair. Perfect. He's loving it.
I know there are PC programs out there which will do the Tivo function almost 100% with a TV card installed, but Im enjoying my Tivo for now, until they go down, we'll see.
If I remember correctly from Biology, these bacteria will take several hours to get some gasses going from digesting and then you get to wait for such power. Could be good for having a vat of food waste in a drum outside the back of a country cabin maybe, then you'd have to have it heated, too? At what temperature will E-Coli die in a pile of rotting food? Then, you'd have to "dump" the waste at some point, but then what comtaminants is the user exposed to?
