I lived in a student community where "all utiltiies included" including interweb.
It was great! I'd get 10 meg down, 10 meg up. I could literally get linux ISOs in 20 minutes, not 5 days. And when they throttled me, I changed my mac addr and got a new IP and trashed that till they throttled me. wash, rinse repeat. Then they throttled everyone to 800k down 300k up. I soon graduated and left.
Go to wallyworld/slows/home despot/etc. Get a timer switch (the ones people use to turn the lights on/off when they go on vacation. Get a digital one so you won't be plagued with tick tick tick all the time.
Set the timer to turn off at 5am, and turn on at 5:01am. That way, you'll powercycle the router/modem every day and won't notice it because you would be pretending to sleep at that hour.
It would be a stretch, but consider 1st tops out ~35-40 mph. 5th is usable starting at around 30-35 mph. So in theory, you could shift directly from 1st to 5th.
Nah, I love Farnsworth. He reminds me of my own grandfather.
And if you're wondering, Yes I did see An Inconvenient Truth with all the bad charts/graphs. Gore even introduced the "Ice Cube" theory, but forgot to mention the sea level rise.
The desktop I have (some gateway POS w/ an intel board) has a bios option to treat usb flash drives as a floppy drive. How do you boot off the drive? I have not the foggiest idea. But it's a bios option.
No, engine braking is holding the throttle plate closed, and having the engine run at a high rpm. This makes the engine pump a vacuum and the friction in the engine to slow the car down.
What I mean by the brake booster is that the booster works on a pressure differential. That inside the intake and the atmosphere. but whatever. just please don't run into me!
Actually the reason to leave it in gear while braking is because it generates a negative vacuum in the intake manifold which is used to power the brake booster. Normally, it's not a big deal but if your brake booster is borderline/your brakes are excessively worn, this can make a difference in stopping distance.
Staying home pretending to be sick instead of going to school. I see it has really paid off and now you read/. instead of doing something productive with life. Tho, not like I'm doing any better.
The phone has a GPS receiver, but it's primarily designed to take a "snapshot" of the satellites and send that off to an assisting server for the actual number crunching. I'm pretty sure these assisting servers aren't cheap and the phone company wouldn't spend money buying these servers if they could sell you a new phone instead.
Now, if you implanted one of these phones in your baby called 911 saying I LOST MY BABY! Then I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to use the gps on the phone to locate the baby.*
But what do I know, it was my roommate who worked in a cell phone shop. I worked on emergency dispatch equipment instead.

thats funny, in a very sick way. you might want to try submitting that to bash.org or the likes.
How would I know if the HDD failed if it no longer has the "click of death"?

The cable might have a built in repeater? just a guess.

As for reverse...gravity takes care of that.

And since water is most dense at 4deg C, the sea level will rise!

Yes, I really have a real degree in this field.
NT4 was the best. Reg key was something like 123-9876543. why can't Microsoft stick with simplicity like that?

Actually you don't need a floppy for that either.

Yes, I do mean the watermark.
But the first time i noticed the watermark I thought why does google have their name on a parking lot? I gotta drive out there and check it out.
Grump
Does it really matter when google has spammed first?
For example, look
here. It is off the california coast, near LAX.

Why! why for the love of HDTV?
Just go download the commercials on your fav torrent site or youtube. Don't waste your life watching the filler.

or false negative rate?
Only when I'm stuck in traffic. Otherwise, I'd put a shift somewhere in there too.
