I know about the firmware flashes, there is a very active mod group that I follow over at Howard Forums as well. I used their how-tos to re-enable a bunch of the features on my Moto e815. Unfortunately the Razr belongs to my wife and if she were to end up with a pretty pink paperweight thanks to my l337 f0n3 h4xor sk1llz, I'd be a dead man!
Yeah I know the feeling. Their OS sucks in such a weird way. It's not that it can't do things it's just that it's so unpleasant when ever you use it to do anything. That's exactly it. My wife's phone and mine are nearly identical as far a features go (bluetooth-capable, camera, contact book, etc.), but my phone is just so much less sucky to use than hers. Options are easier to find, the UI is just so much more pleasant, etc. Plus, thanks to the good folks at howardforums, I was able to tweak the firmware on mine to re-enable a bunch of the phone's features that Verizon helpfully disabled.
I lucked out and got a Motorola e815 from Verizon. The e815 uses the original Motorola UI which is so much better than the one Verizon foists on their users. My wife got a Motorola Razr at the same time, and I can't stand using her phone. Convoluted menu options, ugly fonts, ugly white text on red background theme, hard to use contacts screen, etc. Same phone manufacturer, same provider, very different user experience between the two.
And to be perfectly, fair it would also be keeping with the team's history to continue the next two games in a similar fashion, and then choke on final four, losing to a team that nobody had ever heard of.
And naturally, there will be riots in regardless of whichever team wins the series. Um, I believe you may be talking about the wrong American League team.
if ball teams want to price things exclusively, then they can pay full price for stadiums, concession staff, police protection, etc, etc that get heavily subsidized by the "lowly" public. Just as an FYI, the subject of this submission, the New England Patriots, built their new stadium entirely with private funding from the teams' owner, Robert Kraft. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provided a loan to build up the infrastructure around the stadium (better roads, highway access, etc.) that is being paid back by revenue generated by event parking in and around the stadium.
Preferences aside, if you're old enough to be capable of drinking out of a glass, you're quite capable of drinking scotch. Sooner if your parents get creative with what they put in the baby bottles.
A pacifier dipped in Canadian whiskey was always used as a cure for teething pains in my family, at least by my parent's generation on back. Might explain my extraordinary love of Crown Royal...
Verizon for sure disables many of the bluetooth (and other) features of their phones. If you are feeling brave, you can go to howardforums.com, look up your make/model of phone and see if they have instructions as to how to enable these features. You do run the risk of bricking your phone, you most certainly will void your warranty, and Verizon will not even look at the phone if you bring it into the shop, but you can hack the phones to turn on all the features that they disable.
It doesn't matter. The point is: currency values mean very little unless you trade them or are measuring inflation. Any more analysis is a discussion of macro-economic theory and world money supply. A topic best left to the economists.
It means something if you travel from the US to Canada frequently. Your Greenbacks suddenly buy a whole lot less in Canada, especially with all of the "sin taxes" levied on certain goods. $40.00 CAN for a two-four of beer? $1.05 CAN per liter for gas? $10.00 CAN for a pack of smokes? Outrageous! In years past it was great, your (US) dollar would go a long way up North, not so much now. Hell, my Canadian relatives are all coming down here to buy Christmas gifts and other goods because the (CAN) dollar is just so strong compared to the Greenback.
From todays vantage, it is easy to see that Microsoft could not loose if it bought a license, either SCO beats down Linux and more people turn to Microsoft or SCO goes under and has to refund the money.
SCO will not have to refund any money to Microsoft, but they will have to pay royalties to Novel from the sale of the UNIX licenses to Microsoft, as per the agreement that they had with Novel at the time and as upheld by the court. Microsoft was just in the middle of this whole mess stirring up the pot and playing both sides against each other. Devious, under-handed, and brilliant, in an evil, Microsoft sort of way.
Not only that, but the noise of the bike is a major safety feature. It's much harder to see a bike in your rear-view or if it is moving into traffic, but being able to hear them from a block a way gives you some reaction time. I can just imagine the reaction that a driver would have when a totally silent bike goes whispering past them at 85 MPH. "Holy shit, where did he come from?"
I believe that you are (partially) correct, it is for.NET Framework versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. AFAIK, v3.0 is not affected by the vulnerability. Just a wild-assed guess here, but If you have any beta or CTP versions of the 1.1 or 2.0 Framework, that may be causing issues as well. That bit me in the ass a while back when I tried to install some of the latest versions MS dev tools. Had to uninstall the beta/preview versions of the Framework (and any beta/preview applications that relied on them such as SQL Server 2005, SQL Mobile Version, Visual Studio, etc.) then install the full release versions of the Framework and applications before anything would work. Good luck!
Is there a term for products like this? I'm sure there is... ya know, something that is put out in very small supply, just so that a company can claim it exists? It's called bait and switch. Advertise a low-price item and then try to up-sell the consumer to a more expensive one when they come into the shop.
Found a workaround on the Apple support forums that some enterprising user discovered:
1) Copy the two font files from "%Program Files%\Safari\Safari.resources" ("Lucida Grande.ttf" and "Lucida Grande Bold.ttf") into the "%Windows%\fonts" directory
2) Rename the "%Program Files%\Safari\Safari.resources" folder
3) Start Safari, click "Cancel" on the error dialog box that pops up
4) Rename the "%Program Files%\Safari\Safari.resources" directory back to its' original name
5) Restart Safari
Apparently it doesn't work for everyone, but it did work for me.
It is not crashing on me, but it will not render any text, anywhere within the application. I'm talking in the browser window, URL and search bars (can't see or enter text), and the pull-down menus. Very strange. I'm using XP SP2 with have ClearType turned on, not sure if that has any bearing on it.
Amen, brother. I am a lapsed Bruins fan myself. The league ought to forcibly yank the team out of Jeremy Jacobs hands and make him sell it to someone who actually gives a shit about the sport. One other thing that has turned me off as of late are some of the newer rule changes. Some are great, I love the tag-up offsides rule and elimination of the two-line pass foolishness, it really keeps the flow of the game going. What bothers me is that they have almost taken the defensemen out of the game. If you want to plant yourself in from of the net, you have to expect a stick in your teeth, you have to earn that spot. The refs have really just ham-strung the defense with all of these penalty calls. That ain't interference, that's just good solid defense.
Come on over to Boston, plenty of seats available at the "New Gah-den". It's actually very sad, this used to be such a die-hard hockey town, people would bleed black and gold. The friggin' Jacobs family has run this once proud team into the ice. I was actually happy to see Ray Bourque lofting Lord Stanley's hardware over his head in an Avalanche jersey. I had tears in my eyes that night. Yes, I may be a little bit bitter...
The Boston Bruins did something like that back in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. A Rangers fan reached over the glass and stole Stan Jonathan's stick and started hitting him with it. Needless to say the Bruins took umbrage at this and hilarity ensued. The video is in Flash, sorry about that but it's not my site.
Ha! You just described my brother's setup perfectly. His wife thought that hanging the nice new LCD screen above the fireplace was just spiffy, because some boob on HGTV said it was the way to go. The one smart thing we did was to rip a hole in the wall and run the cables from the back of the TV to a media cabinet in the corner (two HDMI, Component, and speaker cables). We also added an empty conduit for future expansion. Bottom line, this beautiful screen that cost him over $2K gets covered in soot every time they use the fireplace and you end up needing a chiropractor after craning you neck for 3+ hours while watching a ballgame. Stupid, just stupid.
You wouldn't happen to be referring to this by any chance, would you? It is truly a remarkable piece of construction, though the archways where vehicles pass through are a bit small for modern traffic. I used to live nearby and would see semi-trailers trying to back themselves up the road after realizing that there was no way they could pass through.

No, thank wou.
You can create an install disk that "slipstreams" any service packs and hot fixes. Here's a couple of resources:

Some dude's Blog Site (I have never used his scripts and I make no promises that it will work).

Q: Why do Canadians do it doggie-style?
A: So they can both watch Hockey Night in Canada.

*NO*, they're not going to fucking do "Stonehenge"!
Brilliant, just brilliant. He will be missed...
