With Verizon at least there's the option to do this, you enter your voice mailbox (*86, or dial your own number) and after listening to all the 'skipped messages' in your box you'll have the option of sending a message. Enter your target's phone number, leave the message, hang up. Works great for when you want to leave bad news for the boss, without having to actually interact with him.;-)
Hang on if I'm understanding what everyone is saying. We're going to take hundreds of tons of metal, people, and highly flammable liquid, hurl them into the air at high speeds, not just once but thousands of times per day all over the country, and not expect shit to happen?
Don't get me wrong, I understand we want to do everything in our power to make flight as safe as possible. But this is the first known incident of a dual flameout due to bird strikes in the history of commercial flight, right? I'd say in the 70-odd years we've been doing this, that's low enough to be acceptable risk.
And yet how will you feel when you get that handwritten note from the child thanking you for the $130 million that you could have had if you had kept the ticket instead of sending it to them?
Sounds like a cool idea, but you'd get people claiming your game is a "Criminal Training Ground" where the 'bad guys' learn how to evade the cops. That being said, I'd get an account, and I'd probably try being both the 'good' guys and the 'bad' guys.
I'm pretty sure the "poor tech who cuts that thing open" is going to be in communication with the people at each end, who will turn off the power at the right time. Besides, if the link is broken, why would they need the repeaters going?
Like Ben Kenobi said, it all depends on your point of view. If this guys wife had been sexually abused in the past, and now is being tormented by giant penises, it would be a much bigger deal to her than, say, you or I. Never forget you don't know what's going on in any given person's life.
During the summer I work with a group of interns, age 15-20. We have a blast thinking up the weirdest, most random junk we can that will fit in the reply envelope, from old pizza crusts to screws to candy wrappers. (The heavier it is, the more bonus points you get, because the company has to pay for the extra weight). Come to think of it, I haven't been getting nearly as much junk mail as I used to.;-)
So you end up spending a little bit on CD blank media
Why do you even need to do that? I've got a dedicated CD-RW I use whenever I buy music (I rarely buy more than one track at a time), burn/rip/erase CD, and I'm ready for the next time I get the urge to purchase.
Dang it, I've been thinking about this for the last week or so, and now here it shows up on/.
Mainly brought about because my wife and I have only one laptop to share, I considered putting a second LCD display on the back of my laptop's "lid", cutting away the cover so both LCD's could share the same light source. (Okay, so I'm not even sure the light is two-sided, but this is mostly theoretical anyway, I don't have the guts to start performing major surgery on my computer)
The only other question I had was the operating system, are there any variants out there that allow multiple keyboard/mouse/display combinations on the same CPU? Linux is supposed to be multi-user, but I'm talking about plugging in another USB kb/mouse and going from there. Anybody know of anything like that out there, or am I just dreaming?
Weird, until 6 months ago top loading washers were the only kind I'd ever seen outside of a laundromat. And yes, we do have the option of washing with cold water, though I never do. Hot for whites which we bleach, warm for everything else.
Another method, if you find yourself without a matchstick (Who even carries those around any more?) is to point the hour hand toward the sun. The point between the hour hand and 12 is South. (North if you're in the Southern Hemisphere)

What a great use for all the black holes the LHC is going to create! Set them loose in orbit and watch as they clean up all our junk!

Wow. Never thought I'd hear words like 'neurosurgery' and 'splosh' in the same paragraph. Remind me never to let you cut open my skull. ;-)

I'm afraid as solid-state drives become more common this would lead to confusion though.
Sweet, so you mean I don't have to pay 23 years of my 30 year mortgage?
Sorry, I guess I don't believe you.
Awesome, thanks for the information. Nice to know using someone's free, meant-to-be-used wi-fi ranks up there with murder, rape, etc. :-/
IANAL, so please excuse my ignorance, but doesn't the definition of 'felony' mean it's against the law in all 50 states? ie, a federal law??

My goodness, why does that man have a pair of testicles on his chin???

Hah! I've got the system beat, I don't have ANY savings to lose!! :-D

:-) Remember that Far Side comic? "What the?.. This is lemonade! Where's my culture of amoebic dysentery?"
I still maintain that Gary Larson was the best comic strip author ever.
Check out the Firefox extension Shazou, it gives you the location of any server in a google maps window. This particular server is in Rome.

Only 10? Wuss.
You're not the TimeCube guy, are you???
