1. Yes. You can set it to auto connect, or connect when you manually go online.
2. I have no idea. Thats what SETI@home is going to find out.
3. Not right now, but im sure a port could be made for the palm pilot.
So what if there is no end? Its the journey that really counts. We use this for pi, and we will know more about pi than we ever did before. Who knows when we could stumble on a surprise.
It would be interesting to use this to try and find more digits in pi. Maybe we will finally find a repeat. Barring that we will have very accurate circles:) There are a great deal more mathmatical problems that would benefit greatly from this!
Authough it was an april fools joke, I saw an ad for a USB George Foreman Grill. It supposedly would draw power from the USB port and use that to cook your food, set it to start cooking at a cirtain time, and even download cooking times for different foods from the internet.
Actually I am for dollar coins. I would like something like canada's toonie (the circular center is very easy to feel, as well as being a different size). Even something similar to their loonie would be fine. (a very different size and shape compared to other coins) What I dont want is something similar to coins we already have (such as a dollar coin about the size of a quarter). Even if they kept the current coin design, but made them a bit bigger so they could be easily destinguished by size it would be a lot better and have a greater chance of acceptance.
How many people actually feel for the reeded edge though? And yes, I did actually try this. When fishing around for coins in my pocket though Im not in the habit of trying to grab it by the thin edges. I grab it by the two large flat sides. Thats where the difference needs to be if its going to be similar in size and weight to another coin.
I used napster when it was still around. It was what got me into listening to music in the first place. If I didnt like music from a band, I deleted it. If I did like it, I bought the CD. Bought about 30 in a two month period. None of which would have been purchased if napster never existed. Napster Got Shut down. I havent bought a CD from any record label since then. Now if I want music of a cirtain genre, I find some non-famous band that offers their own music for download on their website. If I like the music, Ill buy a CD directly from them. I suggest other people to do the same thing. The record labels lost me as a coustomer long ago. Now what the RIAA is doing is just pissing me off further. (I actually know one person who is being sued by the RIAA) Theve destroyed any small chance of me EVER buying a CD from them again.
The government however decided to make coins that were remarkably similar to other coins. the sacajuea is almost the same size as a quarter. The susan B anthony was the same way. Both have failed. Just because the coin is a different color wont mean mistakes wont be made. Put a quarter and a saajuea in your pocket and try to tell which is which. How would blind people tell the difference? For a new doller to work, it needs to be recognizable from other coins without needing to see it (putting a hole in the middle of the coin would work rather well)
According from the logs of a site that I administer about 97.1% of users use IE (this is an online game site with large numbers of users from the US, UK and Austrailia with some users from the rest of the world) 2.6% use netscape/motzilla.3% use somthing else
I am using the "bork bork bork" verion of Opera:D
(for those of you who dont know what it is, a while back microsoft started perposely having bad HTML code sent to the opera browser from msn.com to make the browser appear broken. Opera responded by releasing a "bork bork bork" version of its browser that translates msn.com into the language of the sweedish chef from the muppets.)
Ive had problems with both zoomplayer (crashes if i try to play) and Windows media player (Have to reboot if i exit and want to watch another movie, or it will crash) under windows 98. (the XP player works well though).The free video players I like are the DIVx player and winamp3. Niether of these have given me any trouble.
Ive noticed that some companies tend to go a little over the hard drive specified size. Most notably with maxtor. My 160GB and 200GB hard drives are actually 163.9GB and 203.9GB. On the other hand Ive found that Western digital seems to have drives slightly smaller than their advertized capacity (59.8GB for a 60GB drive and 79.97GB for an 80GB drive)
I have 1 DVD that dosnt even let you choose what scene you watch. you have to watch it streight through (with about 30 minutes of previews at the beginning that you cant skip over). Did you stop it? Sorry, you got to start ALL over again! (It does let you pause but thats about it.) Oh well, it was free with a pizza, guess you get what you pay for.
If we have 1 really really really smart person with an IQ of say, a google (thats a 1 followed by 100 0's, not the website), that would make everyone else on the planet below the average IQ.
(However that 1 person would pretend to be stupid so people dont follow him arround asking him questions)
When I type on my old USB 1.1 keyboard, it keeps dropping keystrokes whenever I type more than 1.3 million characters a second. Now with my new USB 2.0 keyboard I can safely type at 50 million characters per second without it dropping keystrokes!

I was going to do that, but i decided to make x,y and z different intergers.
If z is zero, then x and y can be anything as long as x=-y
Heres your integers that meet x^n + y^n = z^n, for n>2
x = -1 y = 1 z = 0 n = any odd integer > 2
-1^3 + 1^3 = 0^3

Windows Me? Have some people actually gotten it to not crash for long enough to run a web browser!?

2 pillars are stronger than one. Is someone trying to send us a message here about the strength of the US dollar?

But when I searched for 'f**k you ford candle truck':
Results 1 - 10 of about 2,130.
Conclusion: Google searches better when you swear at it.
