Even though I don't have great reflexes or anything, it's nice to know that after 61 levels on endless mode, my rank is better than 8000...in Bejeweled 2:)
I don't know if that's world or just US, but it's still a nerdy accomplishment.
Oh, and I stopped because I let my 360 shut off for power saving without saving my game last time, so I couldn't resume. But I know if I want to start over and play it for weeks, (you try doing more than 10 levels a day, every day, without going crazy) I can get 550 levels, which is where the #1 player is.
If you would like to keep scalable TCP windows, you might try flashing your Linksys with DD-WRT or one of the other Linux-based firmwares. One or more of them is bound to have support for it.
Portland, Oregon, had a free wireless project downtown FIVE YEARS AGO. Is Circuit City really sponsoring this? I'd have thought they'd have chosen Fry's, instead, for a techie store. The Portland area actually has both, actually.
And wtf is dorkbot? This seems all about promoting pet projects (or sponsors).
...then I have to wonder about the veracity of their other claims, and necessarily also wonder whether their organization is performing adequately in the interests of its donors.
Seriously, if they bungle assertions that they know will be examined in the court of public opinion, how likely could it be that decisions are also being made with bad information or not even that, behind the scenes, where there is no oversight?
These activities are available to you without problems on Windows, Linux, and OS X. It looks like you are doing a poor job of rationalizing your desire for a Mac.
Pretend for a minute that this is true, and they really modified these to be unstable. What happens when demo units end up getting sold to customers? It happens eventually. Then all those defective units will be out there, and customers will want support for them. I can't imagine pushing a firmware fix if the unit is unstable through the fault of software, either. It might freeze during load, and brick.
Really, though, I think the guy just lied or was being sarcastic.
Make sure you say it's the SpamBayes plugin, though, because there's also the standalone server. I used to use this in conjunction with another plugin for Outlook that would let me automatically send all selected messages to an address list... so I'd go to my spam folder, select everything, click the button, and it would auto-send to Spamcop and uce@ftc.gov (back when that was the right email for that). Then I'd delete and be done with them, at least until I had to go confirm at Spamcop:)
I have mail from several.psts and other things I'd like to import. Problem is, I have some mail that dupes over different stores. Has anyone found a way to get TBird to search for duplicates and then delete extras?
I'd be happy to import into folder trees called pst1, pst2, etc., then tell it to delete any dupes copied in pst3, then search and delete for any copies in pst2, etc., so that I'm left with just one of each that I can then sort properly into my main tree. But the functionality isn't there. Someone wanna write a plugin?:)
Next time you hear an Apple salesman say that, ask if he minds being quoted, and get his name and note the time and location. Then submit it here, or to a Mac site, and see what happens.
The university I graduated from reported someone had hacked in and gotten access to about 6K student and faculty records, including payroll info. Their idea of taking care of the problem? Wanting me to register online (!!) or over the phone to be told if I was one of the victims, and also to get a free credit report or get credit monitoring, though they don't seem to think they should pay for that or for any fees I might get if I have been victimized...
Oh, and I only found out because it was in the local news.
Offering someone a Bible isn't forcing anything down their throat, and neither is giving them a LiveCD. Do you seriously feel oppressed when a Jehovah's Witness/Mormon/PETA member tries to hand you a pamphlet?
I do when they won't stop trying to hand it to me, expecting me to actually take it. If I respect their right to proselytize, they need to respect my right to ignore them.
Also, if I have a "no soliciting" sign on my door, (I don't) in this area they can be fined for walking up and ringing the doorbell and trying to engage me, or even for leaving their materials rubber banded to my front doorknob.
a smart bomb, planted by a terrorist group, to trigger when n passports from a target country are in the vicinity, as long as fewer than x passports from countries friendly to the terrorists are also present.
Alternatively, imagine a government putting monitoring devices in public places, or at the entry ways to residential buildings, and tracking when/if people of certain profiled countries are congregating.
I spoke to the/. community's resident Windows user and he is refusing to come out his closet unless you will personally guarantee that the hoard of torch and pitchfork wielding penguins outside won't tar and fether him.
fether? Is that a new compression algorithm I missed?
Not to mention that saying Windows in integral is saying the PC won't work with Linux flavors, BSD flavors, or BeOS -- all of which have (or had) free distributions ready to be stuck on the hard drive by either the user or HP.
A lot of companies have systems that don't allow users to change passwords. They're assigned by someone else. Often, the person assigning them ends up using some easily deciphered pattern out of boredom (or lack of training), like lastname123, or even uses the same password for every person (gobears!). It's trivial in these cases for inside attacks to occur, at least. And if an external attacker finds a couple of passwords to a system, he can often guess the pattern, also.
It is morally wrong to let someone else com to harm through your action or knowing inaction (leading someone on to a certain disaster without warning). Don't forget that there are possibly dozens of other people on the road who might be affected by such an accident, as well.

IF you're running IE7 on your 360. Before they release it.

isn't this a case of activist president?
Imagine if people filed lawsuits to stop or delay the elections this last time, to undertake a comprehensive review?
It's nice someone is finally exploiting this concept commercially for travelers, but mobile 3G routers have been around for a while.
Remember Tor Amundson's DYI Linux StompBox*?
Or commercial boxes like the Junxion Box, which showed up in this solar-powered hotspot?
Now there are several little routers that will take these cards, and with EV-DO rev A, speeds are starting to compete with older-generation DSL lines.

I thought it died around the time of XP's release.
then why are you even worried about DRM?

At least, that's what recent speculation on a lot of rumor sites says.
The term I have seen lately is "iChat Mobile."
Dang, that's been out for ages, and I never saw it before.
:)
Dunno, I'll try it... after backing up my mail yet again, I guess
Thanks!!

They're not broken, just not fully set up.
