Well, the lasermonks link above you has 98A/98X but it is $100 for 7200 page yield. Currently i pay $30-50 off ebay for HP toner rated 8800 pages. Generics are $25-75 but vary alot in quality and yield. Too much green to go green:(
I suppose it is an option if you are buying new toner at $125 instead. If my ebay supply ever dries up maybe i will look again, but HP cartridges still sealed have a lifespan just short of forever.
Great one here last night the TV station runs a scroller for 6 cases in state and one local every 20 minutes. So what does the news say when it finally comes on? "We can't confirm the cases yet and we can't discuss the cases nor tell you exactly where they are...best to wait and see..." I assume they kept talking anyway, by then i decided the analysis of Obama's speech would be more exciting:(
They ran a frickin scroll all evening so i can tune in to be told to wait... sigh
Won't even bother mentioning the picture of the pig sty in the background of the news story:(
If this is an average flu season at least a couple dozen kids in the US have died already from the standard A/B/whatever strains vs 1 for the swine flu.
I'll leave you to figure out i gave an very conservative guess according to the CDC. Mexico i have no clue.
It is still much more dangerous to cross the street for lunch, how about a banner to Stop for Pedestrians:(
My dad's verizon has EVERYTHING against the TOS as far as i can tell:( Pretty sure streaming video is in there too....and gaming...and audio...and BT...and...
Wouldn't a web server be connected all the time? You think they will like that? I am guessing your card connected 24/7 would clue them in. They assume over xG per month and you are doing something you shouldn't, so i would bet the same would apply if you are always connected.
I've seen the Cricket commercial where they use it for home. Pretty sure that excludes a server no matter what as even some DSL/cable exclude that. No idea on their other terms.
Like others said, the latency sucks and throughput is iffy on a Verizon card. Cricket? Can't be any better.
Never seen any listed as new there, not that i looked there for them but i do scan the offerings every now and then. I see they changed the dell logo from the article, just Dell now, no capital ELL.
Long time Tiger buyer, but the last order for memory and external HD went to newegg on pricing alone. The memory was cheaper (even after Newegg's tacky shipping charge added on) and the HD was on clearance sale. The HD showed up on Tiger at regular price when Newegg took them off their site. Tiger=160G while Newegg=250g for same price kinda soured me on them this year:(
Been doing less there lately, and the whole Tigerdirect/Systemmax/Compusa/Ultra thing bothers me when i don't know who is who anymore;)
Used to be good for the cheapest stuff but no longer a sure bet. With the sometimes odd selection of stuff I needed to count on cheap. Never had issues with them otherwise tho. Got a couple good deals on refurb from them.
But how many scams and spams do you see that even have opt-out instructions? If it is zombie-spam they usually don't even bother. Why pretend if they are untouchable anyway. I doubt a known good address that is known to not want it is a better prospect than the next bazillion addresses that are free to attempt to sell/scam to.
"Remind me again why I would want these fucktards managing my internet?"
The same reason you want them managing your house?!? I assume you weren't forced into buying that particular house with that particular HOA at gunpoint.
lol, i am surprised they didn't cut a deal for your internet service and lock you into it so they get a cut like many of them do...you DO get a choice or did you already willingly give that up too?
"One of the articles quoted around $30 million to build out the infrastructure... even at 5%, that's debt service of $1.5 MM a year, without touching the principal... and their revenues are something like 3.6 MM a year."
Sounds ok, how much does it cost to run if you built it all out sufficiently already? You need a few (hopefully very few on a new fiber buildout) people for repair and some electricity. Seems like you should be able to squeeze that in for under $2 million!
So you have a way to turn off the streetlight outside, the traffic light that reflects off the house across the street, and the annoying light on the carpet center next door...without getting thrown in Gitmo?
The fastest computer in the office is a P4-3GHZ. As long as it has HT it will do for office work here. If i bought anti-virus for the sonicwall and deleted if off the desktops we could be using 2GHz or less machines still.
Our main app uses a terminal emulator. Using Windows XP with antivirus running takes at least a P4 2.5GHz HT CPU to successfully emulate a DUMB terminal without lag from the local computer.
Most horsepower now seems to go to run the system itself:(
Well, i don't know about worthless as it looks kinda fun.
But it seems to little to do with pool and/or robots for that matter.
The robot is barely an RC car, it simply bumps the ball or corrals it into the hole. There is no real aim, no cue ball used and no banking except for lucky (or unbelievably good) shots off that curved bumper.
If he wanted pool, why doesn't it have a plunger to at least shoot the ball?
I wonder how hard these are on the felt tho. If it not turnbased, then do they still have avoid the other balls,etc otherwise it would get pretty wild. If both are going for the same hole will they push and shove each other? What is that going to do for the lifespan of your felt when they have a pushing contest?
I hope this is a good summary because clicking the link to the case could cure one of clicking the links real quick. (the umm summary has like 150 links in it)
In either case, this sounds like a pretty extreme case. Anyone stupid enough to charge the person they stole it from has it coming in any event and probably didn't use the smartest solutions elsewhere.

So the whole retire to AZ and read a book is not going to include a Kindle eh?
Do i store it for the summer in the fridge? Even up here it can go triple digits for a week.
oh well, i have no interest in buying a book reader that costs as much as my next 100 books and comes with none of them :(
Anyone view the slideslide and explain why the lab doesn't look right?
"in it's prime" = white, 3 arches and sloped roof
"for sale" = brick, 4 arches and flat roof

would be more
your style...
I'd be scared....
The lawnmower hasn't worked in years :)
Not a half bad analogy otherwise tho ;)
"and in one exceptional case, even to the complete elimination of the phantom limb between the hand and the shoulder ..."
sigh...now i keep picturing a hand with no arm to attach it the shoulder and i can't focus on the 3D topic at hand
How can they do any of that without a bunch of green ASCII stuff scrolling around 1st?
And here i thought it was the geeks getting home and downloading Ubuntu.

Just use the contaminated hair on the appropriate plants and it is not an issue :)
Later, off to get a haircut and a book on weaving.

True, The USB cable WILL go into the ethernet port if you try....
