I have been using the Skip Doctor family of devices since they were direct via Internet only. It works well if you follow the directions and take the time to do it right. It's not going to fix every scratch, but it's going to make it playable.
Skip the toothpaste and power drills. Pick up the manual Skip Doctor and have at it.
You need to dump your "Mac Sucks" hatred for 10.0 and come look at reality, my friend. Have you ever heard of a program called VLC? It's this free media player that runs on Mac OS. It plays damn near anything I throw at it. It's just one of many such applications that do music and videos.
People who complain about there being no applications on Mac haven't used one in the past 5 years. nmap, epic5, apache, mysql, php, gpg. Go look at fink or MacPorts (DarwinPorts). Everything I used on Linux works the same on Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.5 has VNC built-in the "distro" and works just fine for remote desktop control.
I ran Gentoo on a Thinkpad for over a year back in 2004, when Thinkpads were one of the more well-supported laptops out there for Linux. Once or twice a month, something would get all jacked up in my wireless configuration files that would prevent me from connecting to the network. That was the driving force behind my change to the Mac platform. The only thing I haven't been able to do under Mac OS X was write programs for a Visual Basic.NET class.
I don't know about that. Indiana University has the wireless AP's on a private IP network that cannot route anywhere. You then VPN onto the campus network. The whole session is encrypted with MS PPE as opposed to WEP.
Everywhere I have went on the campus of IUPUI where I wanted to have wireless access, I have had it. Then again, I'm only on campus two days a week. In a classroom on the 2nd floor of Cavanaugh, I saw three access points: 1 was unusable, one was decent 11mbit, the other must have been on top of my head.

There's a list of AP's at IUB and IUPUI: Looks like the School of Liberal Arts shelled the funds for AP's before Engineering and Technology, which seems backwards to me.
Just goes to show that it differs where you are. I have T-Mobile in Indianapolis. 1 out of 20 calls are dropped, even when driving from downtown to the suburbs. I would say that I have service everywhere I go except the deep insides of the hospital I work at and in underground parking garages. Sure, their coverage might not be as good as Verizon's, but, I'm willing to not have coverage in the basement at my desk and pay less for more minutes and services.
You want to look at T-Mobile. All of their phones do AIM via SMS messages and a WAP client. The low end Motorola peanut shaped phone offers an internal AIM client. I've never used it personally, but, the AIM client on the Nokia 3390 was pretty slick. It sends them as SMS messages, just a nice front end on them. The SideKick has a built in AIM Client. They offer unlimited data on a voice plan for $19.99 or $29.99, I forget which.
I bet if you changed handsets, you would get better coverage. The T68 series is notorious for it's poor RF performance. I had one for 3 months and went back to my old Motorola P280.
TiVo has always posted their code compliant with GPL... it's not something they just did. I recall reading about the GPL and the fact they posted their modifications to the web in the manual of my first TiVo back several years ago.
As I read over the specifications for the Intel CC820 Motherboard (the 820 chipset with the SDRAM converting MTH chip on board), it specifically states that the board does not support ECC SDRAM. This has been included in the docs since the first CC820 board we put in a PC. Sounds like it's a problem they've known about. *Shrug*
@Home has been aware of the proxy problem on their network. I'm an IRC Operator on DALnet, and we have in the past banned all of *.home.com from our IRC Network due to abuse, mostly coming from unsecured SOCKS4 Proxys and WinGates. They have been more diligent about abuse from their domain in regards to IRC, however, we stopped most of the abuse from their domain by forcing clients to run identd and by scanning users as they connect to our networks for unsecured proxies.
Unfortunately, it takes something as drastic as a UDP or a network ban to get most ISP's to pay attention to abuse reports..
It won the Director Award at Sundance in 1998.:) It's an outstanding movie, and they have made good use of the extra DVD space to put in commentaries, a music video, and "lost scenes," including a video test for a special camera (which would have been really cool if used, just because it adds to the effect of being inside Max's head).
I think that my movies go: Saving Private Ryan, Happiness, and American History X. Avery Brooks plays a terrific "authority" character. Edward Norton was awesome. Great story... I left the theatre feeling dirty tho:)

Do *we*? Mostly. Do the people in charge? Not so much.
FBI is under Department of Justice, not Homeland Security.
Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org?
No. Businesses won't care, because they wouldn't adopt Office 2007 until 2008 anyway.
Yes, I understand it kinda... but it's like TFA was written by a retarded monkey.
Apparently it's only $3.99!
Not as good as encrypted Ogg Vorbis files!
Have you ever seen a naked woman? It's even more amazing
Yeah, but a 30" Cinema display won't make you run out for tampons at 1am on a Wednesday.
Didn't you -choose- the 6 month plan? Doesn't that make it -your fault- that you got charged for 6 months at Christmas?
I've been playing since 26 December and have never queued once. Then again, I chose to join a "Medium" load realm instead of a high load realm.
Go to www.cialis.com and look closely at the logo in the lower right corner of the page. His investment is already producing returns (and erections).
They are working on developing an emerge "group" (like 'system' and 'world') that will only bring in security updates.

KB: At IUB or IUPUI, using Linux, how do I make a VPN connection to the IU network?
Everywhere I have went on the campus of IUPUI where I wanted to have wireless access, I have had it. Then again, I'm only on campus two days a week. In a classroom on the 2nd floor of Cavanaugh, I saw three access points: 1 was unusable, one was decent 11mbit, the other must have been on top of my head.

Perhaps you ought to think about how lucky you are to even HAVE a job right now.
If my supervisor says that one more time, I'm going to stab him in the eye.
