I just bought a Nokia n81 for many of these reasons. World quadband eGSM and UMTS2100 (not released in the US yet, so no UTMS1900), just grab a simcard for prepaid when you get to where you're going. I went for the base rather than the 8g model as I would rather buy several 2 and 4gb microSD cards rather than be limited to the onboard flash. Put movies on a couple, music on a couple more. Newegg has 2gb microSD for $10. Also includes a 2MP camera and 802.11g. Don't know what the details are yet, but Nokia sez it'll do VoIP calling as well. Product page
http://www.phonesource-usa.com/ has the n81 with a 2gb SD card included. . . according to the site at least (haven't received it yet).
I cannot stress enough to get a quadband GSM phone you're comfortable with. You can use it in the US, and all it requires to work somewhere else is paying out the nose for roaming or purchasing a local prepaid account with a simcard and pop into your phone.
But. . . a RST wouldn't work. So who cares if it's obvious if it is harder to interfere with? There are still ways to block traffic, but it would eliminate at least one. . .
What's to say that the Biological and Chemical weapons he was threatening to have didn't at the time? We were quite vocal about invading before we actually deployed, and Syria is right on the border.
I seem to recall seeing satellite images of covered truck convoys headed over that border when things started getting hot down there, though I doubt I could find them now.
Not that I'm pushing one conclusion over another, I'm just saying that it's possible. Also don't forget that the powers that were in that region had been torturing their own people for generations.
I personally think we need to withdraw from the whole area, but we need to do it right. A quick bailout without proper planning would do more damage than just glassing the whole area from the air. . .
I hear this argument a lot. The single button trackpad is the only thing that kept me from buying a Mac when I bought my last notebook. I was willing to pay the extra $200 for a not-quite-comparable Mac (would have to buy three or four USB devices to match whats built into my Dell), but I can't do without a multi-button trackpad.
I would have been installing Windows and either Ubuntu or Fedora, and would need multi-buttons on both OSs. I'm also not willing do dig out a mouse every time I want to boot into one of those OSs.
Unlike my serial port, I use my trackpad every time I boot the computer, and having to plug in a peripheral every time would frustrate the hell out of me.
Until Apple has a multi-button trackpad, they're not getting my money. The rest of the hardware sure is cool tho:) I'm a fan. Just not a paying fan till they have multi-button trackpads. . .
Do you think it's society, or our culture? I wonder what we could do as a society to make our culture better? We have an awful lot of people that just don't care, but we have a lot that do as well. Do you think it's an inborn desire to behave, or just a lack of respect that could be corrected in future generations. I hope I'm right, and it's something we can overcome. . .
Well now either you are new to the debate or just ignorant. . .
BTW this is the standard response to any pro/anti drug regulation debate.
These two statements probably keep a majority of users from reading the rest of your statement.
Having said that, I agree that we should legalize marijuana over alcohol (and maybe tobacco), but I think that the majority of drugs do more damage being illegal than they would being legal. There is an awful lot of crime related to the underground movement and distribution of most illegal drugs. Even if we couldn't get rid of all of the problems by removing the legislation, then perhaps we could make it less of a burden and a danger to our kids.
I'm okay with copyright as a rule, so long as it expires in a reasonable time. The current perpetual copyright coupled with DRM model, not so much. . .
. . . Then there would be an opportunity for NEW "Content providers" that we would be able to buy better content FROM. I wonder if MicroShaft had refused to add DRM (a real test of who the 2000lb gorrilla is) what the current state of DRM would be like. After all, if more and more desktops are incorporating DRM, then there are more and more people who will notice the content that is utilizing it. With XP, it's not as transparent, IIRC.
"God" is a name. If he was referring to a "god", then it would be a noun. In most monotheistic religions, when you refer to their god, they call it God, since there is only one. Polytheistic religions give other names to their gods, but in a monotheistic religion, why bother? When you're referring to Zeus, you don't capitalize the "G", but you do if you're referring to Christ's father.
Back on topic, I think it's time that IBM starts donating it's patents and copyrights to Public Domain. . . They could have quite an impact on the community.
It should be noted that there is a Washington State University, an Eastern Washington University, a Central Washington University, and a University of Washington. And, we refer to our home state as Washington State, 'cause anyone not from the west coast thinks of Washington DC when you just say "Washington".
Yesh, it's enough to make your head hurt, even if you have lived here your whole life:-/
Actually, heat was mentioned. They referred to heat, kinetic energy (muscle twitches, I'd imagine), and neurological energy in the movie. I'm not sad enough to be able to quote the line exactly though.
That's no joke. My old roommate was a first class idiot. She didn't know that you could remove the USB key that came with her Dell. The 128mb one she probably paid $40 for. I needed a USB memory device, and asked if I could borrow it. She said "No, it came with the computer, so I need to leave it plugged in". There were no files on it.
This is one example of months of incompetence. About three months after I moved out, I get an IM from her. She says "I got a job at Comcast doing tech support! Now I do what you do, Yay!". I'm glad it wasn't in person, otherwise she might have been a little miffed at the hysterical laughter on my end:)
I've had the Comcast "8mb service", and I never saw anything above 4mbps, and it was rare to get above 3. I have Speakeasy 6mb service now, and have only seen less than 5mb once.
Perhaps I threw "always" around a little casually, but that HAS been my experience.
Technically he's correct. Cable by it's very nature is half-duplex. That's why we quit using thick/thinnet on LANs. Yet Comcast pitches it as the best internet connection available.
Thats why DSL and Fiber (okay, that one is obvious) are always better technologies than cable for last mile, no matter how much bandwidth you throw at it. Unless you're Verizon, and don't add another T to the DSLAM until you have a higher churn rate:-/
I dunno, my dad has several Chevy trucks he beats the hell out of. He's a Mason Contractor, and he has a '57 two-ton, a '76 3/4 ton, a '77 one ton, and they are all running great. He does maintain them very well, but they all frequently haul or tow several tons of block, masonry cement and sand, as well as a mixer and varying numbers of scaffold frames.
One of his neighbors has several Fords of varying years, and he is constantly replacing engines and other parts, though he maintains the vehicles as well as my dad does. Those trucks also have lots of Rust Cancer, and the frames are all bent so that the truck looks like a flattened out U. They don't haul near as much, since there is only so much Hay that you can put on a pickup bed, and they won't tow the 40' flatbed that he uses for hauling bales.
Wasn't Lindows around long before Ubuntu was? I thought Lindows was orignially based on pure Debian, then adding in the Wine software and some licensed codecs. When Microsoft jumped them and Linspire came about, there was a lot of reshuffling, but Linspire was still based on Debian, and Ubuntu was still being developed.
I've been doing 10-digit dialing for a long time, keeps me from dialing wrong numbers when travelling. My example should have been "phone numbers", rather than "10-digit numbers":)

I never put pins in my joints. I use them to pack a bowl occasionally tho. Far easier to smoke if there's no pesky metal in the middle :)
Point it at the cop pulling you over at night. . . and report back to us here :)

They believe that their God is the only one, and that the other religions are wrong and are going to burn in hell or wander in Purgatory, etc.

Wonder if there's a way to spoof the TFTP source. . . or make it download from the LAN interface instead.

Yes, I'm a schemer. This is also academic, since I'm on DSL

Anyone care to correct me here?
Careful, you'll wake up that "switcheur" (or however they spell it) guy.
That response makes no sense whatsoever. . .
