Comcast is upgrading the basic channels to come in digitally. If you get basic digital service (no HD, no DVR) Comcast gives you a Moto DCT700 http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/productdetai l.asp?ProductID=385 which has no analog tuner, everything is digital. It is a great improvement over the fuzzy basic cable you are talking about.
I've tried to call *999 or 911 from my phone a few times to report extremely dangerous drivers. One time I called *999 (the Illinois equivalent of mobile 911 for the tollway) and what did I get? I got hold music. The other times I called and either got the Cook county sherrif's office who seemed completely disinterested in my report of a drunk driver because I was in urban Hickory Hills (which has it's own police force) or the Orland Park police dispatcher who didn't even want a license plate number.
Being a good citizen and using the correct means to try to make the world a safer place doesn't work. Let me be doing 15mph over on a rural highway and I might show up on America's Most Wanted. I call in a drunk driver and they barely care.
The first time I called I expected police to swoop out of nowhere like what happens in the movies. That doesn't happen....
In the event of a crash you may only have a few feet to fall, but you may have multiple 30 ton train cars behind you accordianing, rolling, and shearing into multiple pieces at 30mph or more. If I had to pick between a gear up landing or a 60mph train crash I would pick the plane crash. Train crashes are nothing to think lightly of.
Without adblock on Firefox 1.0 I went to that drudge report site and randomly clicked things that would keep me in the drudge report domain. There were plently of times firefox told me it blocked the popup. I have yet to see a popup in firefox.
Almost,
Since the promise was made ex post facto and there was no consideration, action, or inaction that the helper had to do to get the $20 the contract isn't valid. Now, if the helper had relied so heavily on that $20 that he quit his job to live off the $20 and the promisor knew that then there could be a suit for financial damages.
but... IANAL
So you want to not only introduce the inherent lag that 802.11 is going to have for multiplayer games but you want more than 10 people connecting to a consumer grade linksys WAP? If you had serious cash and a nice aironet setup with all the required routers and setup you might be able to pull off a wireless lan party but a $60 internet router? That is asking for this kid to get beat up when people keep losing their connections while playing. Good idea

Of course you can put it on a balance sheet. You call it marketing, companies pay A LOT for marketing, they put out commercials, ads in webpages, magazinges, newpapers, and countless other places.
Do you even know what a balance sheet is? One of the first concepts you learn in an accounting class is assets = owner's equity + liability. Balance sheets show the company's assets, and how they equal up to their liabilities and equity. Marketing is not an asset, not equity, and not liability in the sense that you owe someone something. Marketing is a pure expense, subtracted from revenues. It never is and never will be put on a balance sheet in the US. As I am about to graduate in May with an accounting degree I was worried the world didn't need anymore accountants. Thank you for giving me a reason why they do, to fix problems people like you cause when you somehow mistakenly get into management.
You would get all the air conditioning that equates to that ice cube warming up to the ambient inside temperature. The candle created heat by combustion of the wax. There are no chemical processes involved in ice melting besides a phase change. Once the ice melted, and it would if there was any small source of heat, then you would have no cooling effect whatsoever.
I am pretty sure that after -0c you start to get diminishing returns. 14ghz out of a consumer part is completely unrealistic. I know just about a year ago intel was able to get a test lab ALU to go 10ghz. I really don't see a normal p4 going more than 5-5.5 ghz even with extreme cooling, if you go to cold the electrons won't move anymore and you are dead in the water.
My ass they will. If I can prove with out a shadow of a doubt that Microsoft has included my patented and copyrighted code in Office 2003, and I start suing end users (you) directly for it, do you honestly believe that Microsoft is going to come defend you?
The great thing about civil trials in the US is that you don't even need to prove without a shadow of a doubt, you only need a preponderance of evidence.
You must not have seen the sarcasm. Newegg is the de facto standard for online computer/electronics sales. Calling them fairly reputable is an insult to them.
If you are truely getting above 500 spams a day you really need to take matters into your own hands about that. If you are using outlook you should really look into spambayes or use another mail app that has some bayesian filtering built into it, once you train it you'll cut those 500 or so down by 95% or so.
I work for a wireless provider. Nobody actually reads the terms and conditions for the contracts, but it pretty much boils down to you agree to pay the company however much and we in return will "TRY" to provide you service. No guarantees, no assurances, and it isn't our fault if you can't make a call. Cellular service by anyone is not 99.999% reliable. I wouldn't even give it 95%, which is really horrible from a mission critical need standpoint.
NorhTec's first microservers are based on the SiS 55x SoC. The SiS 55x is a x86 MMX compatible CPU that offers superscaler execution and a pipelined floating point unit. The SIS 55x has three superpipelined Inter Units. This means that for a given clock cycle, the SiS 55x can execute more than on instruction. For example, at 100 Mhz, the SiS 55x offers the same computational power as a 233Mhz MMX. In the picture below, you can see our custom designed casing and heatsink that makes the GP/GP+ fan-less.
100MHz of POWER!!!! For small embedded applications that would be fine, but MP3/Video player this is not.
With my digital cable I find that the picture quality is absolutely terrible. The artifacts and banding are horrible. I would not doubt if the MPEG stream is encoded in 16bit color with the banding that I get. Also, it seems that Digital Cable does not like being split off. I know that every time you split coax you get less than 50% of the signal on the line, but after one split there are some channels that simply don't come in on my TVs, I have 2 receivers. There are others that seem to come in, but every 10 or so seconds enough signal is lost that I get a nice MPEG artifact that lasts for a few seconds until another full frame is sent. To me it seems that digital cable was kludged onto analog cable as a way to increase revenue and stop piracy, not really to offer more innovative services.

Sounds like Intrado or TCS. I would bet on TCS since their e911 platform is called xypoint, and the poster used that terminology instead of lat/long.
Trackballs used to be built into notebook computers. They were discarded in favor of the eraser between the G and H keys and trackpads.

Is this an actual station, because I thought all TV idenfiers for stations west of the Mississippi started with a K?
I thought in the queen's english, what we call the "curb" in the US is actually a "kerb" in the UK.
it's 0.034 -- impossibly high. In most states the legal limit is .08 or even .1 BAC. Stories aren't funny if you don't get the details right.
