Once I'd successfully booked the low priced fare, I ended up wondering whether I was going to turn up to the airport to discover that that flight did not actually exist.
So don't leave us hanging.... Did they book you on the old "kilrathi shuttle", or did you get where you were going?
I've never had latency problems either, but I'm one of just a few users on my wireless network. At what number of users on the same channel do the ping rates start to drop so bad?
I've found that muting the tv and turning on radio coverage is pretty nice. I live in DC and I'm a Redskins fan and up until recently we had the great old team of Sonny, Sam, and Frank, who were incredibly knowlegeable of the game and team. Since they assume that people arnt watching the game, you get all the details of whats going on and friendly enthusiastic commentary as well. For non-local games, watching in a bar is the best way . Very colorful commentary there:)
I hate TV commentators, and I hate John the most. I don't play his game myself, but I can't count the number of times I've asked someone if they could just shut his god damn voice off in the game or turn the volume off.
With how easy it is to get the best info from the best places, why put up with someone trying to be a jack of all trades when they will never be the master of them all?
GMail is great for email, but it's address book is a POS, and there is no calendering whatsoever. Meanwhile, over at Y!, I have a calender that not only shows me the weather forecast for the week embedded into it, but it also issues me reminder notices via Y! IM for important dates.
Thank god they don't have all that crap cluttering up the screen. I wouldn't mind seeing a seperate calender.google.com but thank you google for not trying to force the enmeshment of all your services.
Sure there is the personalized homepage option, but that completely opt in. If I want weather, I have a http://www.weather.com/activities/travel/businesst raveler/weather/tenday.html?locid=20002 10day quick bookmarked. If I want radar, http://wunderground.com/ has nexrad which blows everything else away (storm tracking, angle adjustments, configurable maps) If I want webmail, gmail is the best I've seen by far. If I want good directions, I think mapquest still wins in my area (DC), but if I want easy to explore maps for checking out an area, http://maps.google.com/ is the place to go If I want news, RSS is the only way to roll.
Give me the page I request, nothing more please. No added adds, no extra info about the weather or some moviestars latest romance. There will always be better info on a specialized site for that.
Not to mention, with all the "I can see 20 unsecured access points from my apartment" posts, what are the chances they will use your network to cause the trouble? I think most people around here probably sniff their milk before every sip, just to be sure its still "safe".
Slashdot Mirror
Its from office space. It's funny movie. http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=203583 51&trkid=181026
Its not feasable until someone tells me what kind of scanner! :)
hmm... is Psionicist a PR guy for Paul Graham?
The part you selected was a imaginary sarcastic response from a higher quality PSU supplier.

Hire me!!! Hire me!!!
oh wait. You just mean a job title. Never mind.
This parent however, is redundant.

Heh, most people would wonder if it waterproof. Here on slashdot....
I think it uses a sheet of blowing air. I wouldn't want that to end up like spitting into the wind.
Yes, but keep in mind that most of us would enjoy viewing pr0n even if it were drawn on an etch-a-sketch.
If you were a head of state, then maybe you should be suspicious, but would you seriously be afraid of this package?
Really? Those guys must have really missed out on some good pickup lines then.
"Hey baby, wanna come back to my place and see my award for getting things to go down?"
hmm... maybe not.
