Joe sells monitors for $100. Sales are good, and everyone's happy. Then Joe's evil cousin, Brad, the lawmaker, who's mad because Joe stole his girl back in high school, passes a law stating that Joe must pay a $6 recycling fee for each monitor. Joe decides as a smart businessman, that he will RAISE his price to cover the fee, and prices go up for everyone.
The next year, Brad relents and says that the costumer must pay the $6. Guess what, you still pay $106! We ALWAYS get stuck with these fees, whether we know it or not, because these costs trickle down.
You know, it's funny when someone asks a question that's clearly answered in the article and a bunch of people chime in with answers that begin with "I think that. . .." and "Maybe . .."
Then again. ..
I think that if people read the articles, maybe they would not have anything to post about.
I'm trying out the beta version, and it includes an option for anonymous posting on Slashdot. See, it works just fine!!

FCC rules state that the annoucement has to be at the top of the hour, or as close as possible to that time, every hour. For example, if your song finishes at 09:59:47, you're golden. If it finishes at 10:01:05, you can fade the song out before the top of the hour, and play the ID. That works well with instrumentals, but not so good with the vocal stuff.
On the other hand, you can wait till the song is finished, and THEN play the ID. Problem is, if you're running satellite or rebroadcasting a larger or distant station, you're a slave to their timing. If their program starts at 1:00:00, then you almost have to fade the song before the top of the hour, before you cut back to the satellite feed.
But this is a high school FM station, and also, how many times do you do a side by side comparison of radio station quality. As long as the signal is clear, the difference between 128 and something higher is negligible.
My station runs songs ripped at 128 with no outstanding quality issues.
That is a different case though. This is purely a PR stunt to help find flaws, that most serious crackers are going to stay way from. A good exploit is worth much more than the puny prizes handed out from this contest.
No, the only thing most people find using the same brand useful for is lining up the columns when they're documenting their fix. RAID doesn't care if they're all the same, as long as you remember that RAID1 used the size of the smaller HD to set the mirror size.
Try this laptop battery refresh article. I thought I needed a new battery on my T20, did this a couple of times, and now it works great!
In Win2K/XP, create a new power profile that doesn't ever turn the laptop off or suspend it. Save it as "Battery Refresh" or some other name so you don't inadvertently select it. (Also disable all warning messages). Then just unplug and walk away. Your laptop will run till it drops. Recharge without turning on the laptop. Repeat 2-3x for a REALLY dead battery if needed, cuz that'w what did it for me.
I was getting 20 minutes, at the most, out of my battery until I did this.
Dude is like 28 years old!. Must give him props for even running. Most people that age don't even care enough to get involved.
Good luck, man! Hope it all works out for you.
Once again, please quit spreading dis-information. Visa has not ever, and hopefully will not ever issue a merchant account with an "anonymous" pay-to system/account/email address! There's a lot of paperwork and verification involved. Sure someone could steal a scanner and rack up charges, but unless they're a verified, bonded, merchant, they won't see that money.

Yeah, someone else will marke^H^H^H^ develop an imprinting device that says "Deposit Paid".

Simple solution. Ban all rabid animals!!

Hot grits, of course!!

Sorry to bust your bubble here, but steel CANNOT be made molten from burning jet fuel in open air. Also, steel buildings have stood up to much more abuse, and haven't collapsed.
Yes, I'll probably take a karma hit on this one, but this myth has gone on long enough.
Not if the machine is properly locked down.
Easy, selecta!

Could you please speak up? I can't hear you OVER THIS LOUD TV COMMERCIAL!!!
This is one of the reasons why OSS is becoming invaluable.
is what you were trying to say.

Period.
Yes, you're right. Windows 2000 and XP have lots of room for improvement in support, and eliminating bugs.
Oh wait . . . .
