Forgot about the fact the stereo watches the doors cause the radio doesn't turn off until you open the door on our Escape. The alarm and doors locks don't lock if there is a door open on another. (haven't cross tested) Engine probably won't start if door is open either. Right there we could have a lot of the systems tied together somehow and that was only one sensor.
Mine gets delievered to the mailbox, so about 12 inches to the left of the door;)
Curbside would be fine, altho i have no idea what to do with 8 or so cars parked in the street as the alley parking kinda sucks around here. The little old lady next door prob wouldn't even mind much altho she isn't 90-years old, she wishes she was only 90:O
Altho, after 80 years or so of service to the door she probably won't be real happy either! (house is like a time travel machine, most of the interior is older than you)(I believe she was born in my house and moved 'away' when married..away being 50ft to the east)
Just remember if you install some of those AV programs they will try and install a toolbar and crap when they ask to update themselves in the future. Do you want them to install new version of program or ask for help when it asks?
I think it was AVG that got dumped when i eventually missed unchecking the box once on a machine and got a new search provider and other stupid shit:/
MSE is not so hot but it doesn't play silly games either
LOL, someone must have really cheaped out on drives. The cheesy little tape drive on this machine is over 13 years old. (the NT 4 driver on HP site is dated 1999) Business machine with no video/audio files and few pictures. I don't even use the whole 2GB it holds;)
Already had the tapes/drive/software, I saw no need to buy something current.
I have never cared for flat monitors, are they really so bad you can't tell the difference between those? Looks ok to me but could use a border for clarity...assuming clarity is desired;)
You probably can't see a diference in Bing at all then. Ad section is a slightly greenish background. Way too subtle IMHO. Bing does have a light border at the right edge. If one tried to print the results page however that light border on one side wins over Google's VERY light border.
Both seem pretty borderline..... also the cure;)
Bing-it-on.... lol, for all the advertising by Bing lately from the search box at least both result pages look nearly identical. Bing has one more ad and pushes the images a little higher up the page. Bing displayed 5 pic vs Google with 4, but the 4 had better variety.
Parent may be flamebait (atm) but i found it terribly funny.....i just installed an analog phone system from the mid-80's. The phone rings, we answer it. I didn't feel the need to buy a new shiny to do that. Spent $25 (dsl splitters) to set up a 3 line and 13 handset system and only used half the system:)
Personally I don't have a real need for this, but seems the logical progression. I know lots of you do move mountains of stuff locally at home and/or work.
Of course they wouldn't have to give them anything, the NSA gets it FIRST:O Of course they never heard of Prism.....Noone bothered to label that big box over there.... They'd never target US citizens...don't have to target ANYONE anymore when you simply get everything.
> Mine does not. I have no facebook apps what so ever.
Ditto. But if you are the type of person that uses facebook and would like to access it on your phone you are type of person who already has a smartphone and does just that, therefore there is one to sell this device too.
Especially if it is not on the market long enough for many of those people to finish the contract on their current phone:O
Except in Idaho where you are NOT allowed to do that even if you wish:O
Or online where you don't know the tax until they buy it. Many places vary tax by address...even zip code,etc is NOT enough info:/
Wouldn't be half as bad if WHAT was taxed made some sort of sense but again every state excepts different things. Took me days to kludge the 'taxable' flag in a system to handle just 2 states into working correctly. To do this nationally I would imagine even fairly big companies will need to pay for a tax table type add-on to handle the thousands of tax codes and then i still don't see how they can implement it on the correct products. Does your computer system have 50 (ok, more like 45 or something) flags for 'TAXABLE' ??
Not sure that says much about the power system. The plane appears to be very close to a sailplane. Drop the weight a bit and i think it would run on watch batteries and thermals.
17 feet is a lot of wing for 40ish pounds of airplane.
hmm, can we make a powered glider that can find a big thermal and reverse the circuit to recharge a battery in a dive?
Outage didn't affect us...as far as i know... We were down due to local problems at the same time but the line next door worked.....until they fixed this line then the other went down...sigh. Somehow fixing and rebooting my line down the street killed the modem for next door...whatever.
Generally been fine up until this year when they alternate breaking the dialtone and internet (never both,wtf) each month. 5 service calls this year between 2 accounts...not impressed.
I think we all understand the difference in population density and how that affects the cost to provide infrastructure services. That plays a big part in how places in Japan can offer better price and performance than places in the US.
So what's the excuse in NY, SF, Chicago, Boston and other high density cities that have a population density greater than Tokyo? If Google can wire up low-density Kansas City and Austin, why can't the telcos figure out how to make money wiring up a neighborhood full of high density apartment buildings?
They can, they did, and they do.
Why would they spend more to get what is likely the same amount of profit? 9 times out of 10 your choices are 'fast' cable or slower DSL. If people want fast they are probably already a customer. If they came and changed all the connections to 1,2, or 10 Gbps how much more would they make? Pretty sure the answer is 'not enough.'
Sadly DSL seems to be stagnent (or worse) so no push from competition, if they even want to BE competition:(
I have a decent i7 now with Win7 for DX10 games and a Q6600 i think it is for my other gaming rig. This office computer is the older gaming rig with the fakey Dual Core in it that was replaced by the Q6600 years ago. Others are still P4 space heaters with WinXP and Office 2003.
Only problem i had reusing these old ones was running out of DDR memory. They were bought during one of the memory price fixing deals i think and were very wimpy to begin with:( Too bad i never upgraded them while in their prime as i had intended....but they worked fine.
Short of hardcore games and a few special apps haven't needed anything past a P4 (HT required tho to run antivirus decently, so above 2.5GHz or so). We only bought those because non-HT ones wouldn't run the terminal emulator and AV good enough...which was a bit of a shocker to need 3GHz for a fricking dumb terminal emulator!
lol, RCT3 with my favorite park still brings the i7 to it's knees 3 computers later tho:) My eyes are bigger than my CPU it seems.
Slashdot Mirror
Too true
My next car is going to only have hardwired phone lines.
When the car computer overloads take over i can retreat to my backyard full of 70's cars...you guys do the welcoming ;)

Radio thing is a bit weird the 1st few times....
This for NO electronics i think. 1975 - 1980 lots of electronic ignitions
Our 1980 Phoenix died on an onramp from computer failure :/
Don't know if computer dependence goes back earlier or not.
Still probably can't do much but kill the engine until the 90's

Well, if we start here with my 2726006 closest friends.......
(yes it's actually more but i can't find the number anywhere, that was the biggest ID within a few pages)

We had one delievered with 1040 42 pound cases and a total weight of.....28,000 pounds *cough*
Trucker figured it out when he had to go straight up a hill and the Kenworth is pulling a wheelie :)
I would expect the crane to have a scale.
If enough of those ended up at the very front and/or back of the ship i suppose you get that 1st pic.

You young-uns and your upgrade cycles.
I hear talk of a co-venture with Carnival Cruise lines, what could go wrong...
I noticed you didn't call it 423 meters DEEPER than sea level...
Yes, it meant the land is below sea level. Must be the translation :(
Apparently a couple million dollars worth....
" In theory, sarcasm detection can help with customer service, and judging how well products are doing on the open market... "
Or, just perhaps, marketing could read (listen?) for themselves to see how things turned out...
Next up....
Sarcasm in 3D !!!
But, oddly enough the tab still says "Slashdot: News for Nerds" just before it changes to "Slashdot (15)"
Some kind of style sheet Band-aid to cover the tagline? Maybe the TV channel will be filled with reality shows soon :O

Google recieves a record low number of nasty letters, only 50. One for Alabama, One for Alaska........
Not interested in more noninformative information.

sigh
I need a wholesale contact for tinfoil
Probably before lowest-bid contracted school buses everywhere......
Does the private company get cheaper buses?, cheaper gas? cheaper parts? cheaper land? ahhh cheap labor perhaps...
When you hover your mouse over the map it says "oil"
