I was able to snag it before the/. hit. (I hope it's all there, I can't play it right now because it want's a codec the firewall won't let me download) I would prefer more mirrors instead of all getting it from there:}
So, everyone, please call and ask to speak to Jill the customer service supervisor to let them know this is happening to you too, since she is obviously unaware of the issue.
I would... but my Series 1 has not had any issues at all like this.
That and local news pulling similar tricks to get you to watch.
Yea.. "Will this can of soda KILL YOU?? Watch at 11 to learn more!" They always make the stories sound like they are life meaning to everyone.. and when you finally see the story..
It is about some boy scout who was cutting the can for a project and the sharp edge cut his pinkey.
A few stories like that and I quit watching the 10 and 11pm news. If is it is not on at 6pm, forget about it.
Have any Slashdot readers ever actually used the backwards compatibility on their PlayStation 2?
All the time. There are a lot of great games that came out on the PS1 that have no PS2 equal. About 1/3 of my playstation games are PS1 games.
Unless game developers come out with some "ultra kick-ass" games for the XBox2.. I won;t be getting one because I wouldn't be able to play all my current games on it.
This probably wouldn't be an issue for the people that are "Rent-Play-Return" types.
Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Venkman: What? Spengler: Don't/. the server. Venkman: Why? Spengler: It would be bad. Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"? Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Stantz: Total protonic reversal! Venkman: Right, that's bad. Okay, alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.
You forget, this IS Starz we are talking about. They only have ~25 movies and them play them 6+ times a day.
When I first gor DirecTV I got startz free for 3 months.. after the 3 months, I REALLY wanted to get rid of starz. I can only watch Black Mask 60 times before I am tired of it..
I think most the posters are right, the price for this is way too much.
..people used cheaper methods? I use a 5$ bed/tv dinner/writing table from Wally World. Has a pillowed bottom for lap comfort and a hard wood/plastic top for your writing serface. The only big difference is the "ease of portability" their mat is a lot thinner and lighter.
A heck of a lot cheaper than what this company is offering. I just can't see their "facts" and "numbers".. GM is about 89% laptops (more than 3000 laptops) and there are 0 reports of burnt schlongs or laps (I am also a Safety Team member so I get all the safety/incident reports and this would be included in those reports).
The only time I ever have the laptop on my lap is when I am at home or at an airport.. and even then it is not very often as it is not a very good working position.
I am sure it is a good idea/product... but I much prefer my 5$ one better.
No way these things would ever be legal.. and to be honest.. I would be afraid for my life and my loved ones with these things flying about.
Maybe, a slim maybe, these things will be a reality in my grandchildres lifetime. I hope not..
But then, now that I think about it.. all the morons will move to the air leaving the roads clear.. al I would have to dodge would be the falling debri as they crash into each other above me.
With this weapon I can bring pain and suffering to all that stand in my path!
If one can withstand that force of evil.. then I will have to bring to bear such weapons of mass distruction such as: From Justin to Kelly, Glitter or any Power Rangers movie!
Ok, since I just gave the US Gov all these great weapon ideas... can I have the money I just saved them in R&D?
Think about it, Hybrids only use the electric motor up to 20mph. After that, it is a normal gas powered car. Also if you accellerate quickly, both motors are used.
The only time you get great millage is if your averaging 20mph with 30mph once and a while to keep the batteries charged up.
As for caculating the MPG. MPG is bassed on a set speed (55 highway and 30 City I beleive). So, they drive the car AT that speed. They are not factoring in any accerations or variances of speed. How? They use professional drivers that can keep the car going at 55mph till the gas tank is empty. And they don't start using gas in the tank till they hit 55mph (a fule vehicle keep the tank topped off till the speed is hit then they stop filling).
That is how 100% fule cars are done. As for these hybrids, I am not sure of the testing they do to caculate mph. It can't be a set speed.. because the electic part only goes to 20mph. So perhaps it is 20mph up to 55 and back down to 20..
This also gets TechTV OFF of DirecTV. How better to get people from your competition than to take away their channels and put them on a channel that they can't get!
Been what? almost 2 years and STILL no Anime Network on DirecTV, what makes anyone think that G4 will show up anytime soon?
Well, double checking.. it will be on Dish Network.. so, I can watch it when I go to visit back home 2 or 3 times a year.
This is already being used in the car manufacturing industry. Hmm, nothing in there about that.. some DEALERSHIPS for HONDA are using it. "Manufacturing industry" that does not even come close too.
Infact, these would be perfect distractors and would cause many safety issues in assembly plants.
You have Robots, HiLos, Flat Trucks, parts on conveyors, parts on overheads, welding, alarms, flashing warning lights, managers, teamleaders, and co-workers all around you.
In automotive plants you job is specific, you are not like a mechanic where you have the whole to look at.
Automotive plants already have much better systems in place for this kind of data display and is a lot easier to look at and understand.
Really? "No Standard Contracts"? *looks at his CP1 standard contractor contract* Hmm, this 80 page contract must be a figment of my imagination.
Anyway, the base rate formula is listed in it as well. It is Degree(s) + Number of years working = pay grade
So for example, a Masters in Engineering + 1 year (for a graduate) = ~ $19/hour
In my case, Associate of Science + 9 years = ~ $26/hour. If I were to finish my Bachelors I would add about $4/hour more to my rate. And for each year I work I am adding $1 to my rate.
These "parking lots" are not small. They can be over 10 ACERS in size. The average plant has a parking area 4 to 5 acers in size. You have any clue as to how much it would cost to build a roof like that?
The technology is solid and has been proven. The cost ratio is better to go with a sound generator.
Now, all we need is something to disrupt tornadoes...

I mean if he can pick out Atlantis from that one picture.. he should be able to find every hiding spot in Iraq..
That was 9 months ago and it is still humming along nicely... gouges and all.
As I read the user comments on this article, the top of the page is showing an ad saying that Windows 2003 is 400% faster than Linux...
That easy.. the cost of advertising was a /. of your server.
Why? It is already a known that nothing intelegent exists there.
Or they can just wait 2-3 months and get their own for free... Goes to show how few brain cells most people actually have/use :\

Used my UPS to power the bubblers in my fish tank.
It also got me out of the house to do yardwork..
Laughed at "city folk" freaking out because they had nothing.. ahh, country living.
Kill me, kill me now!!!
Sorry about that. Only one coffee so far this morning.

LOL. Saves me the trouble of finding information on it.
