Yes, you have to buy an ASUS laptop from a reseller. But, they sell complete laptops, as well as laptops that are just barebones (keyboard, screen, shell, mobo) and you have to add RAM, hard drive, etc. Goto www.asus.com and look through their resellers until you find one that will sell you the shell, or configured however you want.
No one told me, but I discovered the PB&J on both sides on my own. Whenever I would make them to take to work a few years ago, I noticed the jelly would soak in and make the bread nasty. Well, one day I thought "hey, add PB to the other side and prevent it." Guess what, it worked. Pretty obvious if you ask me, because I know I was not the first monkey in this world to think of it. So I would be violating a patent each time I told this to someone. Or worse, by telling other people I could be infringing a copyright. Or some other ridiculous claim.
The crimping is no different than has been done on other dough encased objects for centuries. New? Non-obvious? You tell me.
I could've sworn the weather guys said last summer that it happened twice, that the temprature did not drop below 100. Maybe they were unofficial temps from the news offices or something.
Another reason I love AZ. But, your statement about the temperature does not happen all the time. There have been a few times in the last few years where the temperature did not drop below 100F the entire day and night.
I've only played one decent/fun pinball game, and it was Crystal Caliburn (iirc). It was a king arthur thing, and it rocked. Only on the Mac though....sigh.
Ok. The telco's arent' forced to provide DSL at all, and this does not have anything to do w/ it. Instead, it says that the telco's do not have to provide a DSL only service. Meaning, if you want DSL, they can force you to buy their standard phone service as well. Your analogies don't hold up here. You want to have DSL, but you don't want to have phone service. Both of them come over the same wires, and if you pay for DSL, you are still paying a small fee to "use" those wires. You still have to buy your cup for your coffee. A modified analogy of yours would be to say that 7-eleven has the right to force you to buy a cup of coffee if you want to buy a doughnut.
Ok, but why use a bank? Use a credit union instead and you will not have to worry about those fees. Credit unions also tend to have slightly better savings rates....if that's what you are into.
If you price out similarly configured ibooks and dells, you will see that the price is not all that different. Add to the fact that as a student, you can get a discount on the laptops (about $150-200 IIRC), and it's a little sweeter. But, there is nothing on the low end of latptops that the mac can compete with in price. A celeron based laptop for $499 will always beat out an iBook, pricewise. OTOH, you have to use a celeron laptop....
Yeah, but see all the "cool" kids change their ringtones at least once a month. These providers would have made pretty much their first two months of money, but after that, they aren't getting their $3/tone anymore.
What I'm trying to figure out is why one of these European or Asian cellular providers doesn't come over here and start releasing these awesome phones and wonderful service. Think of all the people that would flock to these companies to get cheap ring tones, cheap text messages, and the coolest phones ever. I imagine that in part it is the infrastructure, the fact they don't have any cell towers. I thought that the providers "shared" their towers with each other....for a fee of course. Beyond that, anything else that prevents them from coming over here?
um...I am guessing you never have used linux, or if you had, it was for about 5 minutes. Linux has something called "symbolic links" which can function in a way much similar to what MS calls "shortcuts". and i imagine the ones in linux/unix have been aroudn longer. Also, most of the programs that install nowadays put themselves into your "start" menu in the major desktop distros.
How many people do you know that have only cordless phones in their house that are connected to a traditional landline? Those do not work when power goes out either. How is this any different than a VOIP phone not working during a power outage?
Yes, even ONE widget will have a 100% chance of failure. You need to look at time dependency.
The probability of failure, or failure rate, is something that is time dependent, not unit dependent. According to you, one out of three widgets will fail in a day. If we work that out, we see that is 1/24 hours. Pretty high failure rate. Now, we have three widgets, each with that failure rate. That makes 3/24 hours, or one failure every eight hours. You are very confused about this. Everything has a 100% chance of failure. It will happen, given enough time.
It is an amazing film. You should see if you can find a DVD of it....Cosmic Voyage has been out now for +7 years. IMAX tends to release to DVD/VHS some of its more popular films.
Actually, I quickly searched and found it at Amazon
No, no, no. You have it all wrong. See, it's not a pyramid scheme. It's a MATRIX. It works _completely_ differently from those old "pyramid schemes".:-)

Asus & Newegg. They sell barebones laptops.

Did you read just a little further down? The article mentions that these batteries put out 1.7V vs. 1.5V for a regular alkaline.
Sounds like the perfect research project for my PhD.

If having a $249 WIFI detector is reasonable can I have what's in your piggy bank?

I remember playing the Apollo 13 machine once, in an airport. I got the 13 ball multiball and it was awesome.

And you see the image on the monitor how?

ok, yes, i was exaggerating. Arizona is still fairly "cowboys and indians" in more than one way.
Steve?
Ballmer?
Yeah...i love AZ. You could walk down the street here carrying a sniper rifle, rocket launcher, or whatever, and it's all good.
What law against concealed weapons? I know many individuals who exercise their right to lawfully carry a concealed firearm.
