What a sweet deal it would be if Tivo and Sony would partner so you could stream from your Tivo to your PSP!!! Anyone have inside contacts that they can push this direction????
Hmmm... I suppose I should be fat then...

Sleep Less, Eat More?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Considering I average 5.5 hours of sleep per day. However, I run 3 miles per day eat only two meals and drink lots of water and caffeine and weigh 155 lbs. Did they include someone like me in the study? Of course not. Geez, most studies are designed to prove the intent of those performing the study - not get actual objective information.
>>> Yes, it cost them their lives, but we see that hijackers cannot just take over a plane and do their will, when the passengers know the score.
Ah... Now you are talking along my line of thought. When a terrorist (or activist with extreme thoughts) takes over a plane, you do not (as a passenger) know what his intensions are. At this point in time, you don not care - you are simply going to take away his ability to commit whatever act he had in mind - even if you did not know he simply wanted to only have 15 minutes of "air time" on national TV to talk about alien conspiracy theories. You aren't aware he only wants that while in your seat - but in this day and age you cannot take that chance. So you fight - even to the death.
This is the only way to deal with those whose intentions are unknown but threatening - whether on a plane or next door. Pro-active is what you stated - and that is all our government is attempting to do.
You know - I love liberty... But it does not come without a price... I'm sorry some of you have not really looked into the past. You think the Revolutionary War was won by "just and righteous" means from a defensive point.
You must think that every Englishman was killed "righteously" in battle. This is not rocket science people. War is NOT FAIR. It is not just and it WILL trample on the rights of individuals, even innocent ones. What, you think our own revolutionary soldiers did everything perfect? You are quoting a phrase from a time you obviously do not understand. Chaos is synonomous with war.
I find it interesting that people pretend to be righteous under the flag of freedom. See the movie "Red Dawn". You don't think terrorists can take over a small community and hold them at will? (um, if they can take over a plane of 100+ passengers - what makes you think they cannot hold a community hostage?) WAKE UP! If you choose to fight back after they've killed your neighbors and friends, will you be "honest and just" or more interested in wiping them off the planet? Your indignation shows your inability to fathom actual possibilities...
>>>> This man is an activist! What the hell is our government smoking?
So, If Osama started out as an activist who performed some unusual activites, played with biologicals and chemical "art" and we sat and waited for 911 - you would say what? That we sat on our hands to long?
You know, times HAVE changed. If you want to sit in your house and wait for the next activist (Okalahoma City) to go looney - that is of course you right. However - I'd rather be proactive than reactive. This man will have his day in court and may or may not be found guilty.
Tell me, when you buy a car - do you err on its safety record or its price?
Rip to hard drive in folders.. (SmartRipper) Select the stream for only the vid/audio track you want...(this can reduce movie sizes significantly) you'll end of with an m2v and ac3 file. Use SpruceItUp (I don't think this is commercially available any longer) to import the files into the authoring program (it handles 5.1 channel ac3). Repeat process and import to same saved spruce file - this will get huge at some point). Create Menus by categories, to other menus that lead to the movies. When its time to burn, choose write to hard drive - select folder and compile.
When all is done, you'll need to use IFOEdit to convert the screen formats back to 16x9 for wide screen (don't know why this is broken).
At this point, simply use PowerDVD to open the main IFO file and you are in business... 16x9 and DD to boot (for all movies). Granted this is a lengthy process, but it beats having to switch DVDs in and out....
Despite the advances made in 802.11i - WAP/TKIP (TLS/TTLS/EAP/PEAP) - the best solution is "on-the-wire". 3DES IPSEC and now SSL Tunneling are two examples we are using to avoid new exploits as hacks become available for the wireless standards. The above are tried and true methods of encrypting data. If the end user simply runs a client (3DES IPSEC) or uses the well known SSL standard (no client needed) between themselves and your NOC/Colo/Facilities - you can gaurantee a measure of security for their data.
I currently have to hard boot my Dell Axim X5 after roughly 2-3 hours depending on the app that locked (RealOne Player, X-Lite (SIP Phone), etc..). I think CE/PPC is still too unstable for possible life threatening experiences in the car.
I think if most ISPs (especially the large ones) would agree to redirect (access-lists/filter-lists, etc...) all foreign-ip-based email traffic to a central us "white-list" repository this could help the US reduce the spamload...
There are very affordable SIP-based FXS boxes out there that would allow the SIP-Phone to access the PSTN. Additionally, many cisco routers in use are capable of FXS ports (WIC cards). Cisco IOS allows the creation of SIP-based dial-peers and dial-plans. These guys obviously didn't look too hard for PSTN access solutions for the SIPPhone.
phones themselves, the suit will be thrown out. Not to mention that they will also have to explain why they are not suing everyone in their neighborhood that has a 2.4 phone.... plus the 2.4 phone manufacturers...
but a proper balance between the qualifications in most fields lies between practical experience and education. Too much on the scale in either direction can often have an adverse affect when compared against others who are better balanced.
Ah, a PUBLIC school is just that - public. You seek to twist and mis-inform by catering to a particular line of thought. That which is paid for by the public - makes it NOT private - thereby decrying your "right to privacy".
Again - nuff said.
(public) school. According to what she's personally observed, this is exactly the TOOL needed to help maintain good order and discipline.
Based on some comments here, fear of "Big Brother" observing teacher performance or monitoring kids activities seems as overwhelming as the comments of "we don't need the government adding more of intrusion into our lives.
You can't have it both ways and maintain good order. On the one hand, liberals have successfully removed corporal punishment from public education, leaving "less painful" alternatives (and tieing) teacher's hands. On the other hand, they also want to keep out the government or others from "monitoring" classrooms.
Kids have no respect of authority if you cannot properly enforce the rules. This isn't made up BS, it is from listening about the horror stories of "real life" situations.
Many parents side with their children when it comes to the school enforcing the punishments. They cannot seem to believe that "their little Johnny" would never be so horrible. Video would make it impossible for the parents to deny the bad behavior their child is exhibiting poor behavior. This allows administrators to spend less time performing BS Parent/Teacher sessions and more time improving their school.
Plus, as pointed out in other posts, teachers may actually be encouraged to "be all they can be". I can put out three names of Jr. High teachers who could care less about their student's academia and more about being "popular" with the students. One of them in particular (Phys Ed) doesn't even have a 5th grade spelling level.
Good for those slow days when you're filtering through spam... Oh, and try a "light" beer, maybe mix it with some slim-fast.
Finally, take that trashed-out PC case and attach electrodes to the power supply. Now attach the suction cups to you ab and buttocks. Power-switch on/power-switch off. Power-switch on/power-switch off....
How many of you married men have had to come up with an instant, creative solution to a problem your wife brought up...(Honey, why are you late?) Uh, Geoerge and I were stopped at the light when a truck hit the car next to us and......
Seriously, many inventions could be attributed to married men, who out of necessity had to figure out a way around obstacles... Take a farmer from the 1800's. There were many creative ways that they increased production of crops. Creative genius is not something one can really put a label on. Many men carry the ability, and some just need an obstacle to overcome before discovering it.
