We've known of the existence of bloodgroups for years, but I'm fairly sure nobody's been discriminated against on the basis of being O- or A+. In fact, nobody really cares.
Actually, no. The particle effects the preceding word and has no value on its own.
sore wa nan desu ka -> what is that? nan desu ka? what is it?
even more odd - the wa particle is actually written with the character for ha. It's pronounced 'wa' though only when used as a particle, so is usually written with the w.
hmm... looking at TFSpecs again, I see:
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec.,
So - 480 pixels deep isn't far off whatever *real* lines you get on a 525 standard US non-HD tv. 22minutes = 200mb? When I rip a dvd to divx it's about the same ratio (1hr = 700Mb) and it looks pretty good on a 1280x1024 laptop screen.
I just bought a tivo. It was free after the $150 rebate. the box is obviously worth something, so if I cancel before some reasonable time I'd expect to pay for that box (or return the box). Surely that isn't difficult to understand?
I agree that the 0-100 scale makes sense, and that freezing/boiling water points are easily recognised.
I expect you have experienced 0c in the US. I expect you have experienced 100f in the US.
I doubt, though, you've ever experienced 0f or 100c. 0f is -17c, which you'd see up in Canada or Alaska but not many places. 100c is 212f - pretty uncomfortable.
I think the two meet at about -40...(actually,calculating the f=c point was a school exam question i did a long long time ago)
easy... Get yourself a Sipura SPA-3000. Set it to fwd the incoming POTS to the VoIP line. Get yourself a VoIP account with unlimited minutes to wherever you need to get to (lingo/broadvoice etc. for intl, prolly vonage for domestic US+). No bluetooth, but no hassle either.
It *is* possible to approximately triangulate using signal times from the 3+ nearest towers using a variety of methods (depending on the NEM), but that's not the same as having a GPS locator embedded.
yes... but you have to remember that outside the US nobody pays (even in minutes) for incoming calls. and to get on a proper network with decent coverage (and intl support) that 3500 minutes will cost you $150-$200. (from Cingular's website).
For 75gbp you'll get 1000 minutes on vodafone (with free incoming) - so it's not so far out.
Oh - and that black anodized moto RAZR phone you've been lusting over? $50 when you go with Vodafone (cf. about $500 with cingular - if you can even find it)!
Well... having moved from the UK to the US - I can tell you that toilets pretty much are lego-like here (and since you said 'home depot' I'm assuming the US).
In the UK, changing the toilet is a lot tougher as pretty much nothing is standard. Here, with your fancy taps on the wall to turn off water locally and your fancy floor drains it's about a 2 hour job (and that was the first time!).
I pulled out a toilet (with a date stamp of 1953 in the ceramic) and put in a brand new Kohler - and it fitted straight in. So I guess we've got something to thank American Standard for?
I think: "In particular, French users will have to choose whether they want to be served data-ex-cargo or an escargot." comes near the top of the list.
Some 9 years ago I worked on some chip design for Hughes and ESA.
Back then, we used 1.2um on 4" (or 6" in the new fab) wafers - and everything was built on a sapphire substrate instead of a silicon substrate to make them radiation hard (when they went through the van allen belt).
It was dull, as every single chip had about 12 inches of paperwork from QA. Every *instance* of every chip had its own paperwork, I mean. It was also dull because they wanted tried and tested tech, not any of this new fangled sub-micron stuff.
That was then. Can anyone let me know how much things have changed?
If you mean the feature where wmp minimizes but leaves you the play/pause buttons etc. on the task bar, then iTunes (4.7+) does that. r-click on the taskbar->toolbars->itunes
Actually, in a past life I designed chips that needed to be rad hard. They were known as 'silicon on sapphire', i.e. the chip was on a sapphire substrate rather than silicon.
yes it does. But XPsp2 users beware - Skype tries to connect directly several times (i.e. >10), and then tried to connect using the http proxy. XPsp2 limits the # of half-open outbound connections to ~10, so the http proxy connect attempt fails (as there's all those unanswered SYNs sitting there).
There's a dirty hack around if you check your event logs and gtfw for it.
You get your SO to move their emails to local storage, and you're in big trouble when the inevitable harddrive smoke happens. I may be way out, but I would guess that ALL these freemail vendors back up their stores more often than you (or I) back up our local drives, no?
So I saw lots of comments saying Skype didn't break due to xpsp2 - but it did for me...
I"m behind a big scary corporate firewall, AND my internet access is through an http proxy only.
Skype starts by opening ~12 direct-connect connection attempts before falling back to the HTTP proxy to connect. Unfortunately, WinXPsp2 appears to limit the number of half-open tcp connections to about 10. So Skype gets about 12 SYN, with no SYN/ACKs back (as there's no real connection to that interweb thing). When it eventually tries the http proxy, it/would/ get a SYN/ACK back - but good old XPsp2 doesn't let it get that far.
So you can gtfw for a dirty tcpip.sys hack to raise the number of half-open connections. Just thought someone would be interested so they don't spend the same hour I did scouring over ethereal traces etc....
I use spamcop and I like it. Perhaps I'm ignorant, but I've RTFF and can't find out how to report *attempted* spams. For example, every day I see logwatch reporting: Host x tried to deliver to info@domain.com Host x tried to deliver to bog@domain.com Host x tried to deliver to bill@domain.com etc etc...where 'x' is the same, and the attempted (and failed) addresses have never existed.
Any way I can automate (or semi-automate) reporting the attempting spammers?

did you spot the bit in the article about the fact it plays video?
I don't see the ipod or miniXen playing video - and the archos are more expensive!

Well, that does work for me.
But I ctrl-m to compose a message, and ctrl-shift-m doesn't do what you would (or, at least, *I* would) expect.
