Went with them because they had the only unit that could easily be fit into a DIN, the Starmate Replay. Neat little unit, too. I can rewind the last forty-four minutes of a station I've listened to, and has notifications for sport teams, and favourite songs/artists that are currently playing on the network. My car has two DIN slots. I didn't want some ungodly bright thing stuck onto my windshield or the dashboard. They may have been a bit cheaper to, I can't remember.
Anyway, I'm happy with the hardware, I'm happy with the service. I don't thing I've even ever listened to Howard Stern. As long as I can continue to use the unit after the merger, and the content more or less remains the same, I'll continute to be happy. Sirius Canada is a separate company anyway.
whereas adding laxitive (not a poison, etc) to your food is not covered and would be a simple civil case...which probably wouldn't amount to much in the end anyway.
See, that's where you're wrong. There'd be alot in the end.
Oy, I can't believe I just did that. What am I, seven years old? Meh, it's Sunday.
I'm a sysadmin, not the network admin at my company, but from what I know, all the PC's are on their own VLANs. Any requests from these VLANs to outside networks are blocked by the firewalls. The firewalls are set up to only allow port 80 and 443 traffic from the Proxy, which is on a seperate VLAN. From what I can tell, it's pretty locked down.
I worked at the Playdium in Burnaby, BC in 1998-1999 when I was in grade 12. It was busy as heck when it first opened but when I left 8 months later, I noticed crowds had noticeably shrunk. It closed down in early 2005, and frankly, I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. The rent must have been astronomical (40,000 square feet in the largest mall in BC), and I doubt they could even amortize their larger attractions. They just didn't have the turnover.
Good memories though. Free games, hot chicks - the ultimate high school job.
I'm on the IT staff of a debt Collection Company. Before the job offer, they asked my permission to perform a credit check on me to see that I wasn't in their system, or any other companies'. I guess that's special circumstances, though.
A group of us made a simple networked 3D Real Time Strategy game with sets from early 90's Lego Space themes (Ice Planet 2002, Blacktron II and Spacepolice II) as the units.
It was horribly inefficent, ran like a dog, and crashed 30 seconds into a networked game, but damnnit, it was the realization of a lifelong dream to see a fleet of Spacepolice Galactic Mediators and Rebel Hunters charge toward a fleet of Blacktron Allied Avengers and Aerial Intruders, even if it was just polygons.
I think the Printer installer only works in IE, but I remember hearing about a FireFox plugin that was developed to do that. I've still only used IE to install a printer, though, Firefox for everything else.
I would imagine that anyone with a Smartphone or Treo does this already.
I've got an iPaq 6315, and one of the reasons I purchased it was to read E-books on my way to work. I used to use a old Palm to do the same thing, but I like the screen on the iPaq more, and it's one less gadget to carry around.
The Federation Charter was signed in 2161, according to an Episode of TNG (the one where Riker falls in love with a person from an adrongenous race, I believe). Enterprise started in 2152, and is ending if 2156, so we'll be missing Romulan War. I was always hoping that if the show ran for seven years, the last two seasons would deal with the four years of the Romulan war, and the last (few) episode(s) of the seventh season showing the formation of the Federation. It will still be good to see the formation of the Federation, though. The Romulan War is rumoured to be the basis of one of the plots considered for Trek 11, however, so not all is lost.
$115 CDN for each of the seven Deep Space 9 sets. Everybody thought I was nuts. But here I am, looking at the complete run of the best Star Trek series.
Toy Story 1 and 2 are my favourite Full CG Cartoons.
On one hand, I would love to see another iteration of the story. On the other hand, Disney has the habit (since about 95) of turning everything to crud.
I don't think they can pull off what made the first two so magical and special.
I use a program called 'QCast Tuner', for the PS2, to watch DIVX movies and MPEG TV show captures. It uses a small java server application to stream the content over a network to the PS2. It's a pretty decent program, well worth the fifty bucks or so, although lately the company seems dead.
For audio, I have a device called the Audiotron from Turtle Beach. It can stream MP3's and full size wav files from Windows or SMB shares, and is really easy to use. It can also stream from some Internet radio stations. Very cool device, and it fits in perfectly with the rest of my black stereo stuff.
Someone more qualified will probably pipe in, but I've always believed that advertisements are not designed to sell things right away. They're there to create brand recognition and awareness. So you might not want to buy a Coke right then and there, they hope that when the time comes to buy a Cola drink, you'll think of Coke first.
And it must work, because you did mention Coca-Cola in your post.
5 years ago, there were reports of delays for Gran Turismo 2. It wouldn't make it out for Christmas '99, and would be pushed to February 2000.
Through some miracle though, (I heard it was 120 hour work weeks), they were able to release it a week before Christmas, to the surprise of almost everyone. Of course, you could only complete 98.2% of it.
Well, they already got rid of the firewire port from new versions. They need to keep the USB ports though. My guess is that they will take out the bay for the hard drive, integrate the network adapter, and make the whole thing top loading.
I got a bit of a chuckle out of your sig in the context of this article.
I mean hooking up a GPS receiver to a cellular phone activated by a motion sensor and tying everything into a web pag is not the most trivial thing to do, and is probably only something a geek or nerd would think of and could accomplish.
It's unfortunate that he used his ingenuity to do something like stalking, though.

Martha Stewart, too. Have fun!!

A Company named DigiScents tried this during the boom. Shockingly enough, the company folded. From Wired, Nov. 99/a.

Make sure to include fuses in the control panels. Who knows how many nameless crewmembers have been killed by a console exploding in their face.

I'd love for a company to do something similar.

I know it might be a pain to switch, but you could always threaten your bank with the closure of your account if they keep it up.
Must be that instant cassette feature.

USB stick.
Must be a Canadian thing.
Ah yes, I was an early adopter, too.
Half the capability for twice the price, all to have it six months before mainstream.
2001, 32 Megs, $50, still going strong.
I've found that mine needs drivers for Win9x, so I need to keep them right there in the root of the drive.
