I have Comcast cable internet, and they throw in free extremely-basic cable tv service with it. I guess they do this in hopes that you will upgrade your cable tv service, which could turn into a nice $100+ Comcast bill for them. I'll stick with my directv, thank you.
On a side note, any of you thinking of spending $1500 on certain SACD and/or DVD-Audio players right now, might wanna do some reading too:)
I paid $239 for my Toshiba SD-5700 progressive scan DVD player. It has built in DVD-Audio and MP3 support. It's amazing how cheap devices can get when there are competing standards (SACD).
With netstumbler, it's easy to map out your freshly discovered APs easily. After you have returned from some wardriving, simply export your netstumbler log, and upload it here. It will output a Microsoft MapPoint 2002 file which will display a pushpin covered map which shows you all the APs that you just discovered.
A couple weeks ago, I bought an Orinoco Gold access card, downloaded netstumbler, and had my homemade Pringles antenna ready to go.
The wife and I got out last Sunday to see if I could find any access points. We live a few files from Indianapolis, so I figured we would have to go downtown to find any access points. NOT TRUE! Many of the APs we found were on personal home networks. Every time we would pass an apartment complex.. blip!.. an AP or two would show up. Where they encrypted? Heh, no. We made one loop through downtown Indy and came back to our house and we found 40 access points. 5 were encypted.
So, we found one near a Mr. D's (grocery store). We stopped in the parking lot, I set up my Pringles antenna, and browsed the web via someone's @home connection. Really cool!
You can imagine the looks that I received when passersby saw me scanning back and forth with a pringles antenna, wires coming out of it, and a laptop on my lap. Anyway, wardriving is fun for the whole family. It's kinda like Geocaching, but quite a bit easier.:)
Fuckedcompany.com recently received a subpoena from the lawyers of Printcafe.com to cough up "records" of the anonymous posters who made slanderous comments on the site. Some of the comments were directed to the CEO's wife. It seems that Pud (owner of FC) doesn't keep records of the IP addresses of those who frequent the site. Pud said that it was too bad that he already had finished up his book, because they would have received a mention.
If johny doe was lost, wouldn't the ping request just timeout?... because when they put the "tracking shirt" on the kid, they would need to put in a dns entry of johny.doe.disneyland.disney.com which is bound to the ip address on the shirt-device. Therefore, the host would be known, but would time out because the kid is out of the park. Right?
I recommend you go to JCPenny's (non-online). I bought mine there for $29 on sale. FYI: they lie in the commericals on TV... there isn't a stowaway seam pocket on the left side of the pants, only on the right side.
People come and go so fast in my IT workplace (large pharmaceutical), that there usually isn't time to really get to know people. Of course we all have our casual acquaintances, but it seems the people you work with are always changing. The weeks are always so fast paced that we want to just chill on the weekends with our families (translation: playing Xbox while drinking some Coronas).:)
Where he creates these boxes that sit on your TV and take over your thoughts?
That neon green Xbox logo sends out microwave pulsations to your brain to the beat of the Madonna song played on the WinXP commercials. Mysteriously, on our next visit to Best Buy, you pick up a copy of WinXP:
Wife: Honey, I thought you only ran Linux?
You: Microsoft for life, babe.
and folks who *ahem* just want to have their TV tuner working out of the box.
God forbid that a linux user would want everything to work without having to configure anything. But seriously, how hard is it to select only the packages you want installed? Duh.

18Gb would involve flipping the disc, or (nonexistant?) auto-flippers like were available for laserdisc.
The Sony DVP-CX860 will automatically switch to the other side of the dvd and resume playing.

Well, actually, it was more of a bait shop...
"But back then, instead of calling them bait shops, we called them wet bug parlors. Give me 10 dozen nippers for a nickel, we would say..."

Ever see the full anim with that light character?
Yep, you can view it here. The lamp's name is Luxo.
I noticed some similarities between the new imac and the "i" in the Pixar logo. Hrm... ;-)
There's a 509 comment Slashdot discussion from almost a year ago here.
My god.. you know his last name... shame on you ;-)

Obviously, you do too!
Does he even have a real job anymore?
in the past 5 seasons of The Simpsons:
Bart: Do you even have a job anymore?
Homer: I think it's pretty obvious that I don't!

F'ed company rules.
I bet pud is happy that he probably doesn't have to worry about going to court.

You mean GIFS as in "GIFTS"?
Yes, this is the proper pronunciation. I happen to know Mr. Gif himself and he told me so.
This image must have been changed because now it's just a site logo.
Nah, if you look on the dockers.com website, they show only one stowaway pocket.
For those that don't remember RFC 1149, it basically specifies a protocol for IP over avian carriers, CPIP (carrier pigeon internet protocol).
There are details of of the first implentation of this protocol (including pictures) here...
Funny Stuff.
