If the trains come every 5-15 minutes, it's not really adjusting your schedule much (especially if it nets you a 20 minute train ride instead of a 45 minute car ride with traffic congestion)
Yeah, turn off the stupid Vuze interface and go back to classic. No billboards, just the downloading and seeding panes with a menu bar. I couldn't stand the new UI either!
Since it runs on every platform that supports java? Since it has useful plugins? Since taking up 1% of my CPU and 300MB of ram to seed 10 torrents doesn't bother me much on a quad core with 4GB of RAM?
There was also that little release of OS X 10.4 a few years back, so that makes OS X 10.3 support similar to supporting Win98 or WinME in terms of previous versions (i.e. two major versions ago). Firefox 3 doesn't support Win98 or WinME either.
I'm American, but I always write my dates in yyyy-MM-dd format. I guess that's just because I like my dates in the proper order when sorted in list view...
Maybe because I didn't plug in a bunch of 100 ft. extension cords to my outlet and leave them laying about in my neighbors' lawns? It's not like they have to have physical access to your property to skim your wifi...
While I agree with your sentiment, I think Bleach is not the best show to demonstrate needing to see every episode. That one is definitely a show that you can miss an episode here and there and not lose much of the storyline. Maybe something that hasn't run for 200 episodes now. I'd be really pissed if I missed one of the shows that I watch that only consists of 13 episodes!
Also, pretty much all of the j-dramas I've seen consist of 10-12 episodes, and if a show does well with fans, they bring it back in a year or two after they have time to flesh out the next "season". Trick is a good example of that with its 3 seasons. Season 1 aired in summer of 2000, season 2 in winter/spring 2002, season 3 in fall 2003, and had a special in fall 2005. I guess that lets the writers/producers time to make sure everything fits together, and gives the actors and actresses time to work on other projects in the mean time.
I guess my point is, if this MS project goes down, every bit of info stored there goes down with it. If you encode a message or anything in a regular 2d barcode like a QR, it will retain its utility as long as you can read it.
What they should really do is use QR or some existing standard, and link to their proprietary information sharing service. Their service could provide a convenient (twitter like?) interface to simply create and upload a message and print the barcodes to access the url. Isn't that basically what would happen if MS used their backend that they're pushing, but used existing 2d barcode standards to do it?
And if they need to send a message, they can encode the same link to a site containing the message that the microsoft code uses, and let the user read it online. Since, as you said, "if you don't have a data connection, you're SOL right there."
Or, you could buy a windows mobile phone and install a custom rom on it I love my windows mobile phones, not necessarily because of windows mobile, but rather because it tends to be the more "open" of the mobile OSes. I know, I know, it's not android, but you can do all sorts of things with it anyway. You can set up a custom rom to contain all the apps you want, you can make script files to install your apps from a flash card after a flash or hard reset, you can reg tweak (on a phone... yikes!)...
Oh yeah, and there's the whole part of, why do you need to post PICTURES of you breast feeding on facebook? We kind of got off topic with that one... You could, you know, put the baby down and cover up for 5 seconds while you take your latest profile pic.
But that would be turning him away for who he is not what he is doing. She can change what she is doing, he cannot change who he is. I think they should at least offer them a corner booth or something out of the way if they insist on doing it, but I suppose it is their right to do it.
Does anybody else think this could be applied under a gray area of the "no shirt - no shoes - no service" EULA you get when walking into McD's?
Yes, I was disappointed when I heard that vista was going to have a 32 bit version. If microsoft wants to push the transition to 64 bit, they really need to make a 64 bit only version.
Also, please drop the 6 editions and go back to home and pro. If you want windows in a developing country, either pay for it, download it, or make microsoft price it at what the local market will bear.
I believe the same thing. If they have NO computer experience WHATSOEVER, why make them learn the MS way and worry about them breaking their pc or having it develop problems over time. Just start them off with linux and from that point on, linux will make sense to them.
I set up my grandpa's PC with ubuntu this past year on the old PC he got from my uncle. The PC was old, had no valid XP license, badly needed a reinstall, and generally didn't work that well. I put ubuntu 8.04 on there and it works great, he learned how to use a PC on it, heck, his library even had a book on ubuntu!
Now I just need to get him on the phone to sort out his DSL (no-sync issues) and he'll be all set again.
Yeah, I always disable it. I don't know how far it goes to stemming the flow of all kinds of malware, but it makes me FEEL safe, and that's what really matters, isn't it?
Because they would need an equal number of mages since they can only poly a single target at a time. Have you tried getting a 20,000 group of mages before?
Well, I for one won't get a blu-ray player until my local library starts stocking many, many blu-ray titles. They have such a huge collection of DVDs, it made sense to get a DVD player. Just like VHS was before then. I don't really enjoy paying for movies that I'm only going to watch once, or even MAYBE up to three times.
I was wondering if auto manufacturers could make a fuel gauge based on the mass of remaining fuel instead of the level of a float. Also, the mass would be constant vs. the changing volume you get at different temperatures...
I would guess that they figure something like, expected number of sales based on past history, production costs, support costs, then figure a unit cost per production unit sold, and build their profit on top of that. At least, that's what my minute of thought resulted in...
You also have to take into account that a 2008 civic is LARGER than a 1980 ACCORD, has more power, and gets better mileage than the 1980 ACCORD. Cars that were subcompacts have become compacts, cars that were compacts have become midsized, and cars that were midsized have become full-sized.
That 1500lb Civic of 1980 didn't gain the entirety of its girth up to 2600lb by safety features alone:
1980 Accord (4 door)
Wheelbase 93.7 in
Length 171 in
Width 63.7 in
Height 53.5 in
Weight 2050 lb
Engine disp. 1.6L
Power 80 bhp
Torque 93 ft*lb
1980 Civic (3 door)
Wheelbase 88.6 in
Length 148 in
Width 62.2 in
Height 52.6 in
Weight 1653 lb
Engine disp. 1.3L
Power 60 bhp
Torque 69 ft*lb
2008 Civic (4 door)
Wheelbase 106.3 in
Length 176.7 in
Width 69.0 in
Height 56.5 in
Weight 2600 lb
Engine disp. 1.8 L
Power 140 bhp
Torque 128 ft*lb
Or you could get tomato firmware installed on your router. You do have a supported router, right?
Routers that are known to work with Tomato:
* Linksys WRT54G v1-v4, WRT54GS v1-v4, WRT54GL v1.x, WRTSL54GS (no USB support)
* Buffalo WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54, WZR-G54, WBR2-G54, WBR-G54, WZR-HP-G54, WZR-RS-G54, WZR-RS-G54HP, WVR-G54-NF, WHR2-A54-G54, WHR3-AG54
* Asus WL500G Premium (no USB support), WL500GE
* Sparklan WX6615GT, Fuji RT390W, Microsoft MN-700
This will not work on Linksys WRT54G/GS v5 or newer WRT54G/GS routers.
I use it all the time to check out my bandwidth. On average, I would use up that 5GB cap in, oh, my first 1-3 days of the month. Luckily I'm on the 15mbit plan, so I get.... 40GB a month, which would tide me over for roughly 10 days.
My monthly average is about 142.5GB per month, so at their rates I would be paying... $157.49 a month. I hope this plan dies a horrible death where it stands now.

They already have them (such as this one for example), just not in any projectors that I'd actually use for my home theater.
The idea is great, and it would be awesome to have a projector bulb that would last many more thousands of hours than my current one does.
