In Maximum PC recently there was an article about a guy in the military that had problems getting stuff delivered to an APO/FPO address, as a lot of online web software simply did not support these types of addresses.
I don't have the article in front of me, but basically someone wrote in the next month and stated how they got around this limitation.
Pretty much this: instead of stating 'APO/FPO' for the state, the package would be addressed to the state that handles the mailing of that particular locations mail. I think there were only a few. I believe in the address part (second line, perhaps? was actually where the APO/FPO info was put.
The writer stated that he had never had a problem getting any packages after that.
I love how this was modded up as 'informative.' Did anyone actually check out this site before doing a mod? It should have been modded as 'funny,' as this site is a spoof. Check out the other link on the site:
Possibly the agent could be activated by the laser, as opposed to ambient light. This then would be activated by the first use, as opposed to when the package is opened.
A lot of people are speculating that exposure to air is what will cause these disks to cease working. My hypothesis would be an exposure to light.
After being exposed to light, the disk then takes approximately 48 hours for the chemical agent to cure. It's probably some derivative of silver nitrate (used in photographs) and will opaque the disk, and the laser will then be unable to read it.
What really irks me is that the family has a DISHWASHER. As a family who has never had a dishwasher, but who's inlaws have one, the commercial makes no sense. I mean, really, rinse the plates, stick them in the machine, and walk away. Big deal!
This commercial makes it out to be the hugest time consumer...ever. They should try washing dishes WITHOUT a dishwasher, by hand.
Often times, store rebates will allow a copy of the UPC if there are two rebates on it. You should contact the store where you purchased it (well, it's too late now for this one, but for future purchases) to make sure. CompUSA does this, Staples as well.
Beware CompUSA purchases with rebate, though. I bought two Handspring Visors a year and 1/2 ago. They were supposed to be free after rebate (2 x $100). The rebate was denied because...get this...the receipt was used on more than one purchase. For two separate items. And, yes, the rebate clearly stated "Limit Two Per Household."
Do you know what Splenda is made of? It goes by the name sucralose, and it's damn nasty stuff.
They take regular white table sugar, and bombard it with chlorine ions. Not all those ions get fused to the sugar molecule.
A while ago, the place I work decided to get a whole bunch of bottled water, including some of that flavored, no calorie stuff. I snagged two bottles. I drank them within an hour.
Around 45 minutes after I drank it, I had one of the worst migrane headaches I've ever had. I can count the number of migrane headaches I've had on one hand, always triggered by something out of the ordinary.
I couldn't figure it out at first; my day wasn't particularly stressful, and I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary...except drink the sucralose laced water.
I did some quick research when I got home, and found that a lot of people were having reactions to the stuff. One person was allergic to chlorine, didn't realize how it was made, and had a sampling. It put her in the hospital.
So, no, don't go for the 'Splenda,' go for regular sugar...in MODERATION. Just like you should for everything you place in your body.
Okay, not only is the site using Quicktime to view the previews, but the site's size is hard coded to 1024x768, with no scroll bars. Had to resize the screen just to get download links. Quite annoying.
My brother in law, when he was younger and stupider, was taking empty CO2 cartridges, filling the tip with black powder, then with gunpowder, and finally sticking a fuse into the bit, making a makeshift mortar.
The idea was to light the fuse, drop it into a pipe, and then it would launch.
One day, he held onto it too long. The explosion severed his hand. It took nearly three years for them to rebuild it. He's lucky, the doctors wanted to outright amputate. Now, he's only missing a finger.
It all depends on what you're trying to emulate. Pac Man? Donkey Kong? Sure, you can even get away with a 486 (if you use the right Emulator, such as VAntAGE, but if you're looking to play something like, S.T.U.N. Runner, which isn't exactly young, you can't. I've got an Athlon 1GHz, and barely make full frame rate.
I really don't, but...duh! Bone marrow is a great source for stem cells! Did someone finally just now figure this out? Or am I really missing something here?
Which is why we should have standards for laptops, as well as the standards for desktops. Then you _could_ roll your own laptop with off the shelf components.

Just my
You know, I'm glad you mentioned it. That disposable plate commercial really pissed me off.
The brand you're looking for is Dixie.

No one like a whiner, either.
I read it as MONKEYDANCE. Here, I was picturing...well...I suppose it's best left to my imagination. I'll let yours do it's own thing.
Actually, Connecticut has some very strict laws concerning rebates.
I don't have the URL handy here, but do a search on FatWallet.com (in the forums) for "Connecticut Rebate Law" and you should find it.
Often times, store rebates will allow a copy of the UPC if there are two rebates on it. You should contact the store where you purchased it (well, it's too late now for this one, but for future purchases) to make sure. CompUSA does this, Staples as well.

CompUSA has been notorious for their rebates. See http://fatwallet.com/forums/ for horror stories.
Not just tape; duct tape, the god of all other tape.
Go splenda. Ditch the carbs.

There is already a way for the passenger to stop the car. It's called the emergency brake.
My God...thank you for that link.
It'd be really nice if the site had released an MP3 of what they were doing in that theatre, so we could "listen."
Oh, wait...

It's been done, albiet it's mostly hacks of older games.
