My sophomore year we decided to do exactly this for our cable. (Which sucked). Someone bought a Dish. Around 4 am one night we got onto the balcony and installed it, ran the wires as close to window outlines as we could and had Satellite TV for about 4 months until some Janitor noticed the wire and told our RA.
No human interest? There's an endless list of possibilities.
Jem Hadar: No longer 'required'. Can they fit into society being free? Borg: No longer allowed to freely assimilate. People can make the decisions when they reach 'of age'. Or it's an alternative to the old folks home for Grandma and Grandpa. Body isn't looking so long on the death bed. Get assimilated. Let a whole culture know of all your lifetime of memories. Holographs: Are they really people. Explore the issues the Dr. on Voyager was going through.
And yes, there are plenty of other new technologies out there to invent. The nerd in me isn't interested in PDAs, Bluetooth headsets or Holograms (see the Cisco announcement yesterday for virtual meeting rooms).
There are good and bad times to open a new window. I use it on my sites for when ever I'm showing a Map to something. "This week's game will be played Here (Map)". That lets me link to google maps. If it's something on my 'link' page then I let it open in the current window. It's the difference between an aside and a new paragraph.
Exactly. To the Future. When star Trek came out those technologies were far far in the future. PTT Cell phones, automatic sliding doors, the simple things that made you go "wow, that's cool". Hell it came out before we had the shuttle. TNG added an android and some other technology. Even Voyager added a 'neural net' for the ships computer. Some how these don't seem as far off as they once were.
Show me after the Borg wars and the Delta Q wars. Toss in a few Borg or Changlings or Jem Hadar into the Academy. Introduce some sweet new technology, ships & people. Fuck bring back Picard as the senile old man that they let wander the ship talking about 'when I was your age'.
TOS: 1966 - 23rd century TNG: 1987 - 24th century (about 80 years after TOS) It's now 2008. 20 years after TNG. I want to go another 80 years in the future. I want to see the 25th century.
And what about those that didn't really do any harm? Not everyone on the sex offenders list is a 30 year old guy that molested some sweet young 12 year old.
18 year old and his 17 year old girlfriend with over zealous parents. Urination in public while drunk (or sober). Changing clothes (not underwear) out in "public". This hits close to home because at Rugby tournaments we don't get locker rooms. You pull up and change in the parking lot. I've heard of people that got railroaded because the park was X yards from a school. And not even underwear. Just shorts/ shirts. The shit you would expect to see at a beach.
Is there anyone in a America that isn't a criminal in some way?
Airport was one of the first Consumer 802.11b solutions. Apple provided both the Base Station (router) and their wireless card. Gigabit ethernet still isn't on most computers you buy from anywhere else. iSight built in, don't all the new Dells have this?
Even if no one cares about Apple shit or shiny new over priced products. Expect somethings you've heard today to trickle down into every other brand.
Is anyone's interest peaked by the new dual video cards? Especially with OpenCL possibly being the 'next big thing'. I'd be very interested in Photoshop CS4 benchmarks too.
Second, is this the next big competitive 'edge' (now that everything is dual core). Apple was one of the first companies to put dual processors in consumer products. I remember debating between a Dual 800 MHz or a Single 866 when I went to college and ended up spending the extra on the dual. I swore to myself then that I'd never go back to a single processor. Now everything is dual core, dual processor, quad core, etc.
Woot. I've been looking to get an upgrade to my MBP (1st gen). This means all the 'old' stock is going to get dropped into the refurb store or sold cheaply through other channels.
Because normally I don't go searching for videos on youtube. I already have youtube up and the TV on so I'll want to play what's in front of my on the TV.
Star Trek: Paramount MacGyver: Paramount DH 90210: Paramount Y & R: CBS
Paramount is now known as CBS Corporation. The Wiki has more info. Just because a show airs on one station doesn't mean that station owns the rights to that show. Although it does look like Paramount/CBS has had a change of heart: In February 2007, Viacom sent upwards of 100,000 DMCA takedown notices to the video-sharing site YouTube, alleging large-scale copyright infringement. Of the 100,000, approximately 60â"70 non-infringing videos were erroneously removed under the auspices of copyright infringement.[3]
On March 13, 2007, Viacom filed a US$1 billion lawsuit against Google and YouTube alleging massive copyright infringement, alleging that users frequently uploaded copyrighted material to YouTubeâ"enough to cause a hit in revenue for Viacom and a gain in advertisement revenue for YouTube.[4]
The complaint contends that almost 160,000 unauthorized clips of Viacomâ(TM)s programming have been available on YouTube and that these clips had collectively been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.
Which is why I watch YouTube on my TV. I installed a GreaseMonkey Script that will send the URL of a YouTube video to Xbox Media Center. After a little bit of caching, the movie plays.
I don't see why we'd be unwelcome. There are quite a few of us that don't like him just as much as the rest of the world. Hell some of us are trying to escape.
USA is the Britney Spears of countries. Came in with a flash but fucked it up quite early (in ages of country terms)
Could you please point me to the model you have? I can only find 4-8GB flash players. One review even has It's bulky for a flash player. as a "The Bad".
I just went to Insignia's website and found 2 models. A 4GB MP3 player and an 8GB Video/MP3 player. (Aside from their website seemingly written by 2 completely different groups, both had different units, 4GB in metric, 8GB in English)
4GB Dimensions: 15mm X 46mm X 102mm (.59" X 1.8" X 4.0") Weight: 0.068 kg (2.4 oz)
8GB Dimensions: 10.16mm X 40.65 mm X 83.83mm (0.4" X 1.6" X 3.3") Weight: 0.060kg (2.1 oz.)
This is the specs for the current Nano (which comes in 8 or 16 GB). Dimensions: 6.2mm X 38.7mm X 90.7mm (0.24" X 1.5" X 3.6") Weight: 0.037 grams (1.3 ounces)
And here's a "big ole" iPod Classic. Dimensions: 10.5 mm X 61.8 mm X 103.5 mm (0.41" X 2.4" X 4.1") Weight:.140 kg (4.9 ounces)
So by "not making the device any larger" you mean making the device larger? Not to mention the for the difference between the Nano and the Insignia, you could go up to a Classic and have 15X the storage space.

It was also JUST ANNOUNCED TODAY. Wait until it shows up on Monoprice.
Yesterday a refurb (current generation) 15.4" MBP was $1699 (Discounted from $1999). Right now it's at $1349.
Multitouch, matte screen, etc.

As long as they allow SSH, no censorship.
Except 10.6 is more like
1) System 1 .. ...
2) System 2
7) System 7
8) MacOS 8
9) MacOS 9
10) MacOS X 10.0
11) MacOS X 10.1
16) MacOS X 10.6
The best news is refurb store is going to be flooded. I'm looking to replace my 1st Gen Intel MBP with a newer Core 2 Duo Multi-Touch pad.
Full 1 year warranty (just like the new stuff) at a pretty good discount.
No Firewire 400 ports. Firewire 800 and 3200 are smaller.
And when Pystar and EFiX win. Apple doesn't get as much revenue to continue to develop their OS. So they stop. Then what will Pystar and EFiX push?
Because normally I don't go searching for videos on youtube. I already have youtube up and the TV on so I'll want to play what's in front of my on the TV.
Bah. Paramount is owned by what was Viacom and Viacom is now known as the CBS Corporation.
Star Trek: Paramount

Is MPEG4 not free?
1) Get a Scan Gauge. You can monitor fuel economy 'live'. You can easily pick up 5 MPG just by watching how you take off from stop lights and such.
2) In my TDI I get 61 MPG at 45-50 MPH, 55MPG at 55-60. 40 MPG no matter how else I drive it.
3) When I say 55 MPH I don't mean 'mean' of 55 MPH flooring it out to 60 then dropping down to 50. Set cruise control and lock it.
I don't see why we'd be unwelcome. There are quite a few of us that don't like him just as much as the rest of the world. Hell some of us are trying to escape.

Look closer (or increase your font size). I work with metric all the time.

So by "not making the device any larger" you mean making the device larger? Not to mention the for the difference between the Nano and the Insignia, you could go up to a Classic and have 15X the storage space.
And somehow that's easier/better than all the iPod/iPhone replacement batteries out there?

I've replaced the battery on 2 'dead' iPods I got for nearly free for about $30 giver or take.
