...legaly can't charge you for the use of another banks ATM (the other bank can charge you though).
Do you have any more info or a source for this? My CU gives me 5 free withdrawls a month then charges me $1 per transaction at "foreign" ATMs. Debit purchases count the same as ATM, so it's easy to go over the limit. Thankfully visa checking doesn't.:)
Sorry, I filter out Anonymous Cowards still at a score of 0 so I did not see the other post. While I was being sarcastic in my tone, I did not mean to offend you.
Sometimes I feel *nix should have two levels of superuser. Most "root" stuff is simple stuff like adding users and backups. Adding users needs read and execute access to a small selectiun of files, and backup only needs read access. No need to be able to obliterate/dev/hda
Yeah. Too bad that they don't have groups and permissions for groups that allow only certian types of people to do certian things. If only...
Frank can be fun...but can also be a little too "feminine" if you know what I mean. Vern (the orinetal looking guy) does have a contempory look and feel. Usually he does something that is related to the orient or at least Feug Shui or how ever you spell it. The last guy you are refering is most definitely Doug.
I beleive that in the show the two ladies specifically stated that they wanted a clean organized place for their two children to play in. I don't think that clean or organized would qualify for a room that has hay on it. Now the homeowners didn't specifically state that they didn't want feces on the wall either...but I think that someone in the crew or even the lawyers might have a smidgen of common sense and say "Hey...maybe hay isn't such a bright ideas." Oh well. Glad it wasn't my house. I put straw up instead. Cheaper and lasts longer...:)
Maybe that was not what they said out loud, but that was pretty much what they were thinking. The two ladies that lived in that house had young children. You don't put hay on the walls in a room that the kids are going to play in. That is just stupid. The designer had that idea engraved in her mind and she completely ignored the requests of the homeowners and the questioning of the neighbors.
No I don't watch it. I got to the point where I was either laughing so hard at what they did, shocked by what they did, or just dumbfounded. When I did watch, I usually liked what Vern did, Frank usually was pretty good but I didn't care when his feminine side started showing like you said. I can honestly say that all of the ladies would be of no interest to me...expecially Paige. I would shoot her as soon as she opened her mouth. Now the old host...that's another matter.:)
I think that they show is staring to get the "your room is going to be fucked up" rap since they have butchered so many rooms. The hay incident and straw incident were early enough when it hadn't gained the popularity yet that I bet many people didn't know about it. Just look at the thread that my original coment started. Most people knew nothing about it.
Things that they don't tell you on the show: You sign a contract stating what room is to be changed, what can NOT be touched (They ignore this), what you would like (colors, themes, etc). Trading Spaces then assigns a designer (none of which have any formal design education) to do what ever they want, not what you want. Most of the work is done off camera by the crew. Sewing done on camera is just for show...they have a crew to do that. Same with carpentry. The furniture is made super cheap...particle board bookcases come to mind on one show. I just got to the point where I started laughing at the shows. Some had interesting decorations, but most were a joke. You get around $1000 to change the room, but nothing if you don't like it. You are responsibie for carting away trash (they will pay the disposal fee, but it's just a hassle). You also have to put up with that annoying Paige lady. That would be the ultimate deal breaker for me regardless of the rest.

I showed my wife an article about the behind the sceens of one of those episodes and how much damage/money it costs to repair the "renovation". I believe it was either the one where the lady cried on camera or the hay on the walls. She now hates the show even more then I do.:)
Her best friend recently had a neighbor do an episode. The weekend after they left they undid everything that they had done to their room.
Seriously, ask the dealer. If the dealer doesn't know, make them find out or call the manufacturer. Someone should be able to tell you what type of security they utilize.
If they wanted to get into your car, which do you think they are going to do: Spend the time/money on a code grabber and wait for you to drive up, park, and get your code...or just break your window...or try the car next to yours that is unlocked.
Don't force useless, rather advanced programs on them because they are 'cool' - purchase or isntall programs taht assist your teachers in instructing the students in their classes.
For instance, a spell checker. Or maybe just software to detect dyslexia.:)
Oh do you really think that if Democrats held some/all of the power that everything in the world would be find and dandy. World hunger would disappear. Terrorism would vanish. Cable companies would magically offer 10,000 different stations all in 10Megabit/sec clarity using 10.8 Digital SuperOctaQuadraphoic surround sound for 2.99 a year?
No matter who is in office you are going to have the same problems. The democrats bow down to big business just as much as any other party. If they were in power, the cable companies would just "pressure" them the exact same way they do now. Power corrupts. Don't make this into a political pissing match when it has noting to do with politics.
If anyone is in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area, stop in to either of DeBrand stores. If you have any sort of a sweet tooth, just entering their store will make your mouth water. They have some of the finest candies around and their hot chocolate ain't too bad either. On the other hand, if chocolate isn't your thing, don't bother. You'll be sick just opening the door from the chocolate aroma.
While you are there buying something for your S.O., drop off a check for their defense fund. This is one of those times where the little guy is getting knocked down and hopefully in the end, he gets back up and beats the crap out of the bully.
From what I've experienced and read from other people, your experience is the exception to the norm. Check out this, or any other articles at Howard Forums, or any of these articles. I know that you can probably do a search for "Model XYZ poor reception" and get back results, but it just seems like a majority of owners of T68x phones are not happy with them. Everyone has their preferences for phones and if you want to try it out, go for it. Make sure you can return it if it doesn't work out.
I had the phone for about a week before taking it back. I work about 400 yards from the tower and I would contastly get dropped calls and poor reception even with a clear line of sight. Almost anywhere I drive I would get static, choppy sound, or dropped calls. The interface was ok in my option, but I didn't use it much due to the poor reception. It had excellent battery life and I was looking forward to using bluetooth. Oh well. I'm much better with my S105.
Don't bother wasting your time with the T68i or any of the earlier models in the same family. The reception is horrorable anywhere except right below the cell phone tower. Also, the screen leaves a bit to be desired.
Instead, I would recommend the new Samsung S105. It doesn't have bluetooth like the T68x do, but it has MUCH better reception, a better screen, polyphonic ring tones, Tri-Mode GSM, and I think looks better (if you like flip phones). It's not perfect, but a big improvement over the T68x.
I'm going to guess the 5 dimensions are up, down, left, right, and the center "button". Yeah I know that those are not dimensions, but I once had a 5-D mouse and those were the "dimensions" the manual raved about.
He sorta kinda does have a connection to it if you stretch your imagination a little. Six degrees of seperation between Bill and UL.
1. Gates obviously has ties to Microsoft. 2. Microsoft once (still does?) own a stake of SCO. I remember seeing a copyright Microsoft somewhere either in the OS or in the documentation once. 3. SCO was purchased by Caldera. 4. Caldera was once ruled by Ransom Love (gotta love the name) before he drove SCO almost into the ground. 5. Ransom briefly tried to lead United Linux when it was first staring. 6. There is no sixth degree.
I always found it amusing that Microsoft, in all it's *nix hating glory owned a portion of a *nix company.
I would say that you are both right. The "base" unit obviously is gram. However, weight is measured in reference to a 1 kilogram cylinder of platinum-iridium. Everything is relative to that cylinder ultimately. 1 gram would be 1/1000th of the cylinder. The "base" unit here would be a kilogram since that is how mass is defined.
Actuallly, the what was high replacement cost of movies at Blockbuster has nothing to do with the license to rent them to people. Blockbuster had high prices on VHS as a deterent for people who wanted to buy the movies. With VHS, tapes were often releases several weeks/months before people could buy them in stores. By setting the price at ~$100, most people were turned off from purchasing them. When the title was released to the public, they would mark the cost down. Major films would recoop the initial cost quickly. Now that most DVDs are released for rental/sale at the same time, I bet if you check with Blockbuster, the prices are now the same for the rental copy and the purchase copy. I know when I worked there the rental copies that we got in were identicle in packaging and content as the for sale copies (in most cases...excluding Special Edition, Director's Cut, etc).
That way, random shit like decorations go on the bottom of the pile, whereas my toothbrush and my notebooks are in the same box, which is also the first box I unpack.
Obviously you are not a geek since any self respecting geek would first setup his/her computer and make sure everything is running fine, downloading 10 different ISOs, etc. Shesh. Get your priorities straight. Repeat 1000 times...Technology comes before hygiene.

Here is the article article about the hay incedent. The lady crying while on the episode is here.
You can also do a search on Google searches for Tranding Spaces hay, Trading Spaces cry, or Pam Herrick to find out more about the show.
