I love my v60i.
No polyphonic midi ringtones.
No color.
No bluetooth/irda/wifi.
No games.
Just a flip phone that has the useful features.
3 voice dialing.
It was something like $20 with a 2 year contract. Maybe its time to switch providers?
you're seriously suposed to weld in a piece of metal and grind it down. There is something to be said for doing things right the first time. But at least your car isn't 40% body filler.:D This probably isn't a bad idea for this aplication, but your car deserves better, man.
Not a troll, in fact I generally agree with the ideals.
In theory, yes there is a defined difference, but the tendency is there, if someone sells their software, yet you can modify and release it, to modify it and give it away, thus destroying profit motive. I could however be getting something wrong there. Kindy feel free to shoot holes in my reasoning.
I agree, someone less... zealous would make a better proponent for free software. I like my free software, but I like money too. Some things are better free, and some you need to pay for. Everything in moderation.
We had one of those as well, great system, except the battery in the phone was (nearly) impossible to replace, and the software wouldn't work under 2000 or XP, ie. the installation program looked at the os version and if it wasn't one of the 3 it liked, it said it wouldn't work. It probably would have anyway.
Unfortunatly, with the changes tivo is making, you'll have less control over your ability to hack it and add new features. They just recently started cracking down on backup images for people upgrading hard drives. With this happening, I think it would be worthwhile to roll my own with off the shelf hardware and linux.
No. Of course not, however a missle would not blow a 757 to smithereens, the point of a missile is to render the power plant of an aircraft inoperable thus bring it to the ground. In the case of a 757, the plane would most likely come down in 2 sections, one being the wing sheared off by the explosion of the engine. Lots of those "thousands of pieces of flaming debris" would be tiny. Some perhaps the size of a car, and capable of taking out some or all of a house. The fueselage and seperate wing would probably be capable of doing considerable damage to whatever they hit, provided they hit anything. One thing that is better about flaming debris is, you can put it out. You cannot put out a hundred something story skyscraper, nor can you properly evacuate it. You can take cover from raining debris, you can't escape a 757 being piloted directly at the building you are in.
In general, it would be safer to have a big unaimed chunk of debris fly into a residential neighborhood, or maybe a smaller building, and kill anywhere between 0 and 1000 people, than to have a large, aimed projectile be pretty much be guaranteed to hit its target. Targets being the largest, most densly populated structure which is possible to attack. Its a gamble, but I doubt that you'll end up hitting anything more costly than what the target would be.
Actually, its been thought of to do this, but the systems are so damn old, that it would be just as expensive to design a system from scratch. So we might as well do it "right." Your idea seems to make sense, though, I thought the idea of a moon base was to not have to maintain something floating around on its own.:)
Petting is a horizontal motion, whereas patting is a vertical motion. I shit you not.
As for spit instead of spat, probably because our parents did, and their parents did, and our teachers did, because their parents did... something like that.
Probably for the same reason that Bling Bling of all things was added to the OED.
You're fine as long as you stay away from the chain stores and find a good stylist/barber/whatnot that understands what you want. As for my appeal to the opposite sex, spending less money and getting a salad every day for lunch has helped more than a haircut ever did:D
True, but you have stupid teenagers that blatantly can't judge distance and speed.
On top of that, your car can still fail, the electronic fuel injection could go screwy and you'd lose power, causing an accident. Heck, in event of a problem, the car could broadcast an alert via some redundant system that goes "HEY! I broke, and I'm right here! don't hit me!" If you built all the cars to be interoperable, you could do all sorts of nifty things, scheduling and traffic management to alleive congestion.
All I'm really trying to say, is that I'd trust windows more than some of the drivers on the road, and these would likely be very stable embedded systems, like the kind that run assembly lines, or your car, every day without a hitch.
My cell phone and wireless mouse have been going insane. Do you have any idea how aggrivating it is to use a computer with a mouse that keeps jumping around? I've gotta dig out my old corded one.

He was joking (I hope). What kind of access point do you have? you can generally find *real* antennas for them.
You need the land line, but you can get DSL service on it without phone service (provided your carrier will let you, they usually won't, but some are good about it). We used to have our DSL on a seperate third line coming in to our house, first and second being for voice and fax, respectivly.

Which would make my plan cost $4.99? :D

Bu there was a discrepency because the old ones were in English units, and the new ones were converted to Metric. So its sort of a hybrid fuckup.
Thats hardly tinfoil hatted. Running it all through ipsec (like I would) would be tinfoil hatted. :D
At that price, Its almost cheaper to buy windows than to download linux.
...and you'll only have to sit bleeding in the ER waiting room for 10 hours! I'll pay, thanks.

Such "thugs" are required to vigorously defend their trademarks or they can be nullified.
