Does this just follow the schedule and add a bit to appease you? or does this actually track the busses and calculate in real time based upon the driver's habbits, road conditions, speed, etc. how long it will take to get there?
That's an excellent point. Actually, unless Super Shuttle has changed its operations, the only regular stops here in Dallas, TX, are D/FW airport (I don't think it does Love Field) and several hotels. Anywhere else, you have to call the dispatcher, to send the shuttle by. So seeing who's near you is somewhat useless, for this company. Still, it's beta, and soon they may have some of the taxis on here, also.
You know, some of these companies do already use GPS and radio uplinks to track their vehicles, so they don't have to calculate anything.
I bet Google Gulps are good with vodka. Shit, anything is good with vodka.
I want what we called a "suicide" when I was a kid: all 4 flavors at once! Well, maybe not the water, unless it was in ice cube form. I guess it would be an "anti-suicide." I'd call it a lifesaver, but I doubt they taste similar:)
You don't have to check. Just go to gmail.google.com and the counter updates automatically in the middle of the page.
Not if you auto-login.:) Seriously, I have to log out, or wait up to two weeks, to expire and go back to that page. But I see what you're talking about.
You have to see how they're doing it. Earlier when I checked, I was up to 1100 something. I just checked again, and it's 1114. It looks like they're doing the reverse of nibbling away, by giving everyone 1 extra MB at a time, and then when they reach the end of the userlist, starting over.
I'm not making this up, if you have a gmail account, go see it. Mod me down if you look and it's a joke.
Oh, up to 1116... I'm never going to get to sleep tonight, I have to keep checking.
If it is a joke, it's a pretty good one. It knows that in Dallas, TX, Super Shuttle is a local service, and is in fact the only one it supports, right now.
Also, they've increased my mailbox size. Read this.

Spam Kings is bad fiction
Ah! I was wondering why the submitter deemed it in the same class as [u]The DaVinci Code[/u].
I'm trying to point out that spam has a very real cost not just for the poor end-user who has to wade through fifty pr0n and v1agra messages, but that his frustration and bandwidth pain is only a fraction of that of the ISP who has to deal with the 99% that the end-user isn't seeing.
I have a vanity domain. I'm the only one with addresses, and I don't publish them. I started getting joejobs and people pretending to be me sending me trojans after I made the mistake of complaining about spam through spamcop. It's not spamcop's fault, of course, but somewhere along the line some ISP let some spammer see my complaint, and they got my domain name, and the rest is history. Oh, and that doesn't even take into account the hundreds of emails I get per day addressed to www.yourfreepresent.com@ and www.webmillion.com@, two companies that lied and sold their lists to spammers. Or the dozens of spams sent to my hostmaster@ address, which has only ever been put in my zonefile and my whois record. I almost chuckle to think some losers who bought spamming software probably paid harvesters for that one.
After ClamAV and several other steps, the mail that makes it to the machine I have my mail client on also has to go through SpamBayes. After a couple of months, my stats say "Total emails trained: Spam: 13269 Ham: 2674," and that's basically from January and February only, as I haven't had time to train any more since then. Remember, that's after filtering on the mail server, itself. Actually, AVG rips a few out before SpamBayes sees them, too.
That's me, and my little vanity domain. Years ago when I was working in the NOC of a huge ISP, I used to think a server admin job would be great. I don't think so, any more:)

slashdot: add a "DUST FROM THE ARCHIVES" section to put this kind of stuff under...
Shouldn't that be dust bunnies from the archives? For Easter, of course.
1. Stick your mp3 collection on company server
2. If you're laid off, threaten to rat them out at $150,000 a song
3. P-R-O-F-I-T (sung to the tune "I want Money!")
My SSN has been used to buy a bunch of property in california, all under mexican surnames. However the privacy laws protect the fraudsters, i cant even find out who it is or where this property is.
If this is true, do they show up on your credit history?
If you think you've been the victim of identity theft, you should be able to request free credit reports to see what's going on. Your bank should also help you out with more pointers to whatever the fedgov is doing, now.
Shouldn't you have enough RAM to disable swap entirely? No more fragmentation worries, and you're just a bit more secure, too. I don't run anything big, so I get by with a single GB.

Thanks.
How do all those PS2minis install and access the game, when they don't have hard drive bays?
I'm sure it's an April Fool's joke, but I've never even heard of a Pandaren Xpress, so gimme a URL or something, to the joke?

Hey, Phroggy, are coyotes still allowed on, without tickets? He was way outside Fareless Square... :)

Yeah, I got distracted and didn't save the post for a while.

I think I like my way, though...
I think it's picking up speed, I'm already up to 1124.
Maybe they sped up once the story broke on
