Sorry that I didn't go and call all owners of the Dash/Excalibur and determine the percentage that had their screen break as well before posting. Next time I will do that for you.
After having bought a HTC phone (Tmobile Dash/HTC Excalibur) I have vowed to never purchase another HTC product.
Within 3 weeks, the screen broke. And not from dropping it or hitting it, but from picking it up off the table. HTC's response? $125 an we will repair it for you, but no guarantee it won't break again.
Maybe it was just the Dash that had problems, but if HTC won't stand behind one product, I will stay far away from any of their other products.
Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service is a private two-way voice communication service for use in personal and business activities of the general public. Its communications range is from one to five miles.
Licensing
License documents are neither needed nor issued and there are no age or citizenship requirements. As long as you use only an unmodified FCC certificated CB unit, you are provided authority to operate a CB unit in places where the FCC regulates radio communications.
Although it was clearly my responsibility as a computer system administrator "to confirm and document" such misuse
wrong! here, you are so off the marker it's pathetic.
I would normally agree, except in the case where the former system administrator shows the job description from the employee manual that states that as part of his job function.
It's my understanding that the studs are embedded in the roadway and cannot be hit. As this page backs up, there is only a 4mm spot that is raised above the pavement, which allows snow removal to occur over it.
If a snowplow isn't taking them out, neither will you.
With a Network Solutions Private Registration, you receive alternate contact information displayed in your WHOIS listing, without giving up your standing as the registrant of the domain name, unlike "proxy" services. This enables you to view and make changes to your account contact information, as well as all of your settings associated with your domain name registration from your Network Solutions Account Manager - no separate account manager Web site to login to. Also, you're not restricted from transferring your domain name registration to another registrant or registrar.
It sounds like they are registering your domain with contact information that points to them, but that you are allowed to control the domain from their site.
They most likely are using a valid address that refers to an internal database for them to contact you if the need comes about.
I also have a personal issue with AT&T and their long distance telemarketing practices.
They'd call multiple times a day. I'd ask them to place me on their do not call list (in compliance with the TCPA) and they would continue to call. Everytime the same answer, "We don't see a request on your number. I will add one now. It will take 30 days to become effective." Less than one hour later, they'd call back with the same thing. After contacting their customer service after a rude encounter, the calls stopped for 5 months. Then they began again.
Same thing all over. I filed an informal complaint with the FCC and AT&T flat out denied calling me after my request. They claimed that it must have been "some other vendor calling but not on behalf of AT&T" yet when asking the telemarketers what company they worked for it was "we work for AT&T, not an outside vendor."
After multiple letters back and forth, the calls finally stopped but nothing happened to them for violating the TCPA.
Oh Oh! A chance to post when noone else has! Why bother to read the links? Then you might be #2!
Two of the four give the "please add me to the do not call list" when activated. Of course you can do this yourself, but they are talking about using technology (as simple as it may be) to end the calls.
The other two require entering a code for callers that know you.
If you look at the blocking link, http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=htt p://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm, it has a variable to set the expire date on the cookie. I haven't looked at it, but my guess is changing the 30 to a larger value will change the expire to that value.
If they allowed the same upstream, people would be hosting all types of services.
Why would anyone in their right mind pay for a dedicated line if they could get the same performance from their cable modem at a significantly lower price? You would see a lot more business use on residential accounts.. And that debate has already been fought out here..
I have thought about that exact idea, putting a camera into the rigs and allow the receiving hospital to exam the patient before they arrive. Most of the time the E.R. staff is going off of reports of what to expect, what if they can see them 2 minutes sooner and have the trauma bays better prepared for the arrival?
Brings up interesting ideas of having multiple cameras and how the wireless interface would work to the hospital. It'd be an interesting idea to see put into use, if it isn't already.
Interacting with other Factoids?

The site doesn't talk about how the other factoids talk with your factoid. If the data is all encrypted and there is just a receiver, in order to send the data you'd need another factoid device that was transmitting your data all the time. If this were to be used as a "virtual automatic businesscard" I would think that they need to have a transmitter and receiver but then there is the problem of getting your information into the factoid. You'd need to have a transmitter on a computer or the like that sent the data to the factoid in a secure (limited to send to only a list of serial numbers in the factoid's database?) fashion. Also, what about the possibility of people overfilling your factoid with junk? Think about it.. You are walking down a busy street and one person has a factoid sending out random data to the factoid. You login to check your database to find out you missed all of the important data you wanted only because someone filled your memory with a bunch of random characters before your data could be uploaded to the server. I also doubt that many of these remote transmitters would be available in the common regions. Although I personally like the idea, I doubt it would go over well with the non-geek types out there.

It is entirely opt-in. Not just buying a vehicle opt-in.
You go to their website, provide your OnStar account # and the VIN # of the vehicle, as well as your email address and you opt-in.
You can also opt-out at any time after opting-in.
And I think you do need a license to operate a CB radio.
No you don't.

I really hope you are kidding.
The guy was a financial analyst, not a developer. Just because he had access to the front-end site, doesn't mean that he has access to the back-end.
Unless of course I am missing something and you magically have backend access to every site you go to.

Also, don't drive anywhere. Someone could be following you and know where you are and when! Invasion of privacy!

I really don't understand how the parent is modded up to +5.
The RIAA/MPAA/xxAA could just write their own client that connects to the network. They are not bound under any EULA, as it is their software.
As the companies releasing P2P lean towards, there is no owner of the network, and as such, there is no EULA to enforce for the network.
The same paper also has a list of real-estate transactions by address and price (no names) here.
Perhaps the $730,000 transaction in Bloomfield Hills (where his lawyer is from)?
4288 Stoneleigh Rd., $730,000
There are no $740,000 transactions listed..
Actually, it's been airing in the Minnesota market for weeks now.
When I saw it I was shocked with all the rumors that Apple wasn't going to allow it to air.
