On the advanced page for my 3Com network interface (docking station), Xircom PC-card, and Netgear W-LAN card, there is an entry called "Network address". This is, apparently, what MS called the MAC address when everyone was looking the other way.
It won't have the 'proper' address in there to start with, but you can just enter your own hex string. I've done it to clone the address between my docking station and my PC-card so that I'll grab the same static IP whichever one I'm using.
In the UK, you can make use of the small claims court for amounts under £5k. It's far less formal, and you can normally approach it without a lawyer so long as you have the facts. If you have an independant report which says that the rotors are warped due to a manufacturing or fitting defect, and it will cost $x to fix/replace, then go to court claiming $x + expenses. Easy.
BT wholesale cannot be contacted in any way to plead your case. Actually I became convinced they have no telephones.
*Shudders* Last time I had a problem with BT messing up my ADSL, I discovered that not even BT Retail can talk to BT Wholesale. The message had to go BT Retail -> Me -> ISP -> BT Wholesale -> ISP -> Me -> BT Retail. Hopeless.
Coupled with the fact that the people who answer the phones can't cope with the concept of ADSL which isn't provided by BT OpenWorld (or whatever they're called this week), it normally takes solid weeks of phone calls to sort simple problems out.
The iMac didn't have a region chip which exploded it when it crossed the US border. It had a 110v power supply, and anyone living in a country with a power supply of >110v should check any product they buy from the US.
It was the fucktard purchaser's fault, not Apple's.
bandwidth of 49.99Hz to 50.01Hz {and that's allowing a greater margin for error than real life}.
My memory may be a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall a visit to the offices of the National Grid a few years ago. In the monitoring room, one of the displays was of the current frequency. I can't remember whether the margin was +-5Hz or +-1, but I thought it was more than 0.01. Could be wrong:-)
Except that all connections to and from your server are unencrypted, so that every node in between you, your server, and the recipient's server can sniff the traffic and read your mail.
I see different colours with different eyes. My right eye gives a slightly blue tint to what I believe to be white paper, whereas my left eye gives it a reddish tint.
I love it when someone tries to sell me the extended warranty by claiming that the product often breaks. I normally tell them that, if it does, I'll take them to small claims court to recover repair costs under the Sale of Goods Act.
This states that goods must be "of suitable quality and fit for the purpose for which it was sold". Essentially, if I spend GBP500 on a TV which breaks after 14 months, it is not of suitable quality and the retailer (not the manufacturer) is obliged to repair/replace it.

Meh, Opera can remember Gmail passwords. If it's a system you trust enough to store your password, why is it using IE?

Get an independant report.
Take to court.

Tried 8? I'm finding it much better. I didn't even realise how much 8 sucked until I got on an un-updated machine yesterday.

All the BSOD's I've seen recently have been traced back to bad RAM.
Oh, not a joke. My bad.
...or because Opera and Firefox have a Google search field in the toolbars already and don't need a third party to add the functionality?
Except that Apple's OS-X page refers to Tiger all the way through, with just a single reference to 10.4.
The thought of running my PBX on Windows... scares me. Really, really scares me.

If it's anything like the UK market, the handsets are heavily subsidised by the carriers.

I can pick up a good phone for GBP30 with a 12 month lockin, or pay GBP300 for the same phone without the lockin. I'll take the discount thanks
Linux is NOT given away. I work for a hospital and we're having to PURCHASE a Linux server license.
Ooh look, Linux being given away.
I assume you've been conned into buying an SCO license...

Just look up "money laundering" in the dictionary.

Point the laser at the object suspected to be an explosive. If you wake up in hospital, it used to be an explosive.
Care to share any of the indisputable footage?

The first law of Unidynamics, formulated by a friend and I during our first year, when we had to move in and out of halls a total of six time:
Possessions expand to fill 110% of available vehicle space.
The second law stated that the final 10% would inevitably be found under the bed just when you thought you'd finished.
12 inches = 1 foot. 3 feet = 1 yard.
How do you spend $20 per month but only $120 per year?
