Comparably, "O" -that is, Oprah's magezine, the top subscription magezine (Not top selling, thank god, but it is delivered to more homes than any other delivery) makes almost twenty times in ad space than it does from the cover price.
I don't know what the cover price, but if it's three dollars, (Although she may have brainwashed her viewers into three times that by now) you're looking at a cost of sixty dollars cover price without advertising.
These women are spending FAR MORE than that difference, based on the ads they are seeing, I assure you.
Now think about how much basic cable would cost, for you, who does not watch Oprah, if she were to stop having commmercial breaks during her program. Assuming you have cable, try multiplying by two or three HUNDRED.
Television is evil. I cancelled my cable when the Cartoon Network changed it's lineup, but should have done so earlier.
When Television was a new invention, the public was promised public education, and various performances, like Ballet, Broadway shows, and OPERA. Oprah is evil.
Sorry, I forgot to say where to find them. I ordered one from a dump/scrapyard place in Northern California for about $85. (I was just installing a backup thermometer in an existing roaster)
The two therms have always been off by about 2 degrees, which is good because one is at the top of the barrel, the other is toward the bottom.
Built in, powered through switches inside (So you aren't frying everything/interfering.) but you could take your laptop anywhere if you put in four of those, one in each direction.
They sell them at
http://www.cantenna.com/
but from what I've read, they're easy to build, and even "I" could probably do it. Building a little roof over them would be great.
On the other hand, if you could put in a signal tracker on one, and something to make one move around....
I'm getting ahead of my technical understanding.

I went to one of these near my house. Definately longer lasting, greener, more efficient and upgradable.
Warmer in winter, Cooler in summer.
I have a friend who designed a 'micro-tile' method, but it would be much more work, but the four foot square, two foot high stayed at least ten degrees below outside temp in the sun, and Northern California can get a lot of sun.
Seriously. He does.
Anyone else ever hear about his name totaling 666 in askii?
His name I think is actually William Henry Gates III or something - look it up. Total the #'s used in ascii and you get 666. I don't remember if you add 3 for the III or not, but it's six in the morning.
Anyways, they should just nationalize the company that he suddenly, mystically, magically owns, after he fires everyone, and then no one can complain. They'll make a lot of money on top of things.
I'm currently at work, graveyard, and this thing just blew my mind.
Someone said this thing is terribly slow, (I doubt they meant it as an insult) but if you wanted to solve that problem you could make a three dimentional roller coaster version. That would be MUCH faster.
I saw a horse that could do math once... ask it to add, subtract, or multiply, and it was right 9 out of 10 times... No way yer newfangled iLocomotive can beat that sucker!
Patents are supposed to be researched EVERY time someone applies. The problem is that they never are. I found one at the U.S. Patent website once for a round object, with a stick through the middle, designed for 'reducing friction while rolling'
Yes, a patent on the wheel. I posted it somewhere and got an e-mail that it had been removed.
Nowadays the USPO is basically just a recepticle to later prove that "I got there first"
Depending on how good your lawyer is, and how specific a patent you make, you can later make your patent actually worth the paper it is printed on by involving yourself in a lawsuit regarding that patent. Until that time, you'll never know if the patent will stick....
Has Heston even recieved a fair trial from the Monkey Men?
Can monkeys get patents on themselves with monkey genes removed to make us?
Considering the fact that there already are several hundred patents on living things, his 'precedent' is no more than an example general wasting of perfectly good time that could have been re-inventing the chia-pet, or its theme song...
Besides, I had to say something, considering my signature....
Since we all know the world is going to end come Y2k, I see no reason why scientists should be allowed to do anything but cut purple diamonds for public transmigration.
Who wants to waste time scientificing?
Do a little research on "Clean Hydrogen Power"
Coal.
All hydrogen for use in fuel cells is wrought from coal in the ground...
It's a big anti-earth conspiracy of pig-men, just like in "Captain Planet"
Blegh.
I think we need to start transitioning, because eventually it may be possible to use sea water as a source of hydrogen, but with modern electrolysis, the process is more expensive than drawing the same from coal, or (I think) oil.
And in any case, where do you get the electricity for the electrolysis? Nuclear, oil burning, coal burning power plants.... maybe coupled with a few solar plants, but even geo-thermic power is having disasterous short-to-long term consequences in Northern California and Iceland, the two places where more than a town's worth of power is geothermic.
When Social Security numbers first came out, there was a similar minority grumble about the idea of 'one person, one number' -the government PROMISED that S.S. numbers would not be used for ID. Hmm.....
I feel that a driver's license should ONLY be used for two purposes:
1) Identification by record when required by a police officer if you are sitting behind the wheel (i.e. DRIVER's license)
2) Totally un-recorded confirmation of DOB. (i.e. buying cigarrettes, alcohol, regulated medication, etc.)
Last week I was stopped by a cop for jay-walking. I asked him, "How fast was I going, officer" -I dunno if he was gonna give me a ticket, or just a verbal warning, but he was laughing too hard to give me the ticket anyways.
Slashdot Mirror
In the U.S. to fax-spam they have to have an "Unsubscribe" number on the fax. It has to be an 800 number.
Still, it sucks. Next time you're in a foriegn company, you could just call these numbers and leave the phone off the hook...?
Will it help my '1st' comment on slashdot show up '1st'???
I know I'm dense, but I'm competitive, too.
"It's no secret that Intel has occassionally been playing a bit of catchup this year in the desktop and workstation processor arena"
No kidding. Nintendo had a 64 bit processor back in like, '96.

Someone mentioned to me once that the U.S. spends more on our military than almost all others countries put together.
Anyone know if this is true, or where to get the figures?
Anyone know how much the Windows XP G.I.Joe is going for?

try the roaster's own therm. If that isn't accurate enough, you shouldn't be roasting coffee.

If they told us what he was blackmailing them for, it wouldn't be blackmail anymore.
