First off..."I Soviet RUSSIA, the baloons burst you". & "I for one welcome our new ballon overlords...".
Now did we really need to spend uber government money to find that out? But that's our tax dollars at works folks. I hope you enjoyed the movie that second per second was probably more expensive to create than to just pay ILM to do it on a computer.
While that *may* be true of *most* Ham, it was not the case here. Nor was it the case that my equipment was inferior.
It only happened when he turned his beams anteanna my direction. Speaking to him directally only made him rotate his antanna my direction more often.
It wasn't until I threatened him by saying the next time it happened. I was cutting his coax and hooking a die hard with 700 CCA's to his anteanna cable that it stopped.
You entirely missed my point. While most ham's are generally good people, there are some bad apples in the bunch. Calling the FCC doesn't help, because usually they contact the ham's in the area of a complaint for assistance in invesgating.
I thought we were going to just shut down ham radio altogether so we can all have powerline broadband??? what the heck is this?
Wasn't there a convention on that? "We were invited. Punch vas served."
Besides those pesky tones mess up the modulation of my BPL.
Seriously, do you know what it's like to be listening to a CD and suddenly hear morse code out of your PC speakers. I endoured years of PC's locking up and other releated events due to a ham around the corner from me.
For that reason I have no love for Ham's that don't respect other people.
More so than any of the Trek characters, methinks. How many of us here were first inspired into tech geekdom by Chief Enginner Scott?
What more can be said? It's a given that he has inspired alot of us, it's a given that most of us respected him on and off screen.

Its resonable to assume they wanted it to be found. In todays game development climate I doubt they could have coded this on their own in renegade fashion. Im sure it was budgeted.
It was budgeted. They just axed the mini game before the release. I think I read somewhere, this section was removed from PS2 & Xbox versions. For whatever reason it was left in and not intended to be played.
I agree. I had no desire to play GTA:SA until I read this post. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will be either buying or ripping off the game this weekend to play.
The conspiricy theorist in me wants to say that Rockstar left this "feature" in and leaked the information on how to unlock it or just waited for somebody to figure it out for this exact reason.
With BPL, you are pretty much screwed.
And ham radio's don't use electricity? Barring generators, ham radio's are just as useless without power as any other high priced toy.
No back to comparing BPL, to Cable or DSL. In the event of a storm, which service do you think will be restored the quickest? Your power, your cable, or your phone? With BPL, as soon as your power is restored, you have internet access. With cable or DSL, your still waiting after you have power.
Any more of what crack? I've experienced the technology first hand. I've seen what it has to offer.
I stand by my original statement/question. "How many of you have actually had any experience with BPL?"
Until such a time that you have, I suggest you reserve judgement, or atleast figure out what your your talking about first.
I've seen this in action. You plug your modem into the wall, launch your favorite web browser, and you'll come to a screen that says "enter your username & password". Once you have done that, 30 seconds later your on.
No filters to mess with, no splitters or anything. You want to move your desk, you can use any outlet in your house. No planning your desk near a cable or phone jack.
I should have known this was going to turn into a debate over the technology.
I've see this technology in action personally. How many of you can say that? I've also read everything I can about the technology.
First off, there are NO instances of this interfering with HAM, emergency bands, or commerical radio. Most of the crap about radio antenna's and stuff is propoganda(sp?) by the likes of the ARRL, because they have this entitlement theory.
I personally cannot wait till American Electric Power gets with current so I can have it at my house.
it seems that his company owns the trademark for the word "torrent"
Thanks for the post. Now I have a new list of words to try to use as often as I possibly can. Infact, we all need to use these words as often as possible.
Seriously, after canceling from them (I tried it for free for a month); I will never, ever, ever sign up with any of their services ever again.
When I first met my wife she had AOL. She had the service for literally a year after we met because I kept calling to cancel for her, and they kept giving 3 free months at a pop.
Not really - since they're a monopoly who can't stand any competition, their number one job is to undermine themselves.
I meant their competition as a tyrant that cares little or none about people.
Hey....wait....speaking of that why hasn't the RIAA & MS squared off yet?
Amen. After a long hard week of slaving in a cubical. I can't wait to get out and go tinker with automobiles.
I'm not talking about modern, clean, fuel injected auto's. I'm talking ones with 20+ years of grit, grim, greese, and rust under the hood.
All I'm saying is if the children were removed. The rest would be a non-issue. Not to mention, the chat rooms would probably dry up.
I personally use yahoo's chat rooms. Sometimes the topics in these chat rooms go to adult topics (do not confuse this with anything related to kiddie porn).
I am unhappy that I am being deprived of chatting with other persons because, among other things, some people refuse to watch their kids.
I know in a perfect world, people would not prey on children. Sadly, we do not live in a perfect world, so we must strive for imperfect solutions.
That being said, it's time to dust off my IRC client.
To be honest, if children were not in those chat rooms, they would dry up.
Besides, who would care if a bunch of middle aged men were all sitting around flashing their "packages" to each other on webcam?
Remove the children from the forumla, and the rest of it is moot.
Which brings us back to the original question: Where are the parents while the children are watching middle aged men on the computer?

Seriously, somebody needs to mirror those images. I would if I was at home. Sadly, I'm still at work for another almost 4 hours :(.

Besides, you'll probably have to be within 100 yards of the nearest switching office in order to get the blazing fast speeds of DSL.

A quick google of 'Leo Stoller' came up with these random links. The first lists the federal Lexus database entries. Seems he is trying to trademark works like "racket" and "tennis". http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.inta.org/tmtopi cs/archives/0404/msg00092.html
What the hay...rather than filter though all these links myself. Feel free to look at the google search yourself.

Seems there's no IP for that domain. What's up with that?

There's an outsourced call center in the US. In said call center, a rep used a customer's credit card number to buy a pizza for dinner.
Said rep is not a member of the HR staff of said call center.
Am I the only one that see's the irony in this?

Isn't it more of a case that MS is trying to undermine the competition?
I never said they were good. I simply stated that they were a source of information of events after RotJ.
