Of course this all depends on the conditions of the road. For example, two nights ago it had rained a lot and I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane road. The middle lane contained numerous sewer plates etc and it's basically a lot of smoooth metal surface. I forgot about that and when the light turned yellow I hit the brakes.
I started to skid and made the decision to go thru the upcoming red light because I prefered to run the light rather than being wrapped around a light pole.
Had the cop that was sitting at the next intersection, within eyesight, attempted to give me a ticket I'd ask him if he would rather give me a ticket or be calling for an ambulance at this moment.
See it all depends on the whole situation. It's one of the reasons I don't like the photo sensors.
Actually yes I do. I've got all the boxes here and the orginal cd's to all the stuff on my HD. Heck I've got more LEGAL copies of the various windows OS that I got from school than I care to count.
PS: I'm not the AC that you're replying to, just wanted to point this out.
Before seeing it I did not hear much about the film except some mention about it on here. When I went to the theather there were a lot of kids there. Sure you saw the mom's explaining certain words situations etc, but that was fine.
It is a great movie and like most anime's it has adults mainly as the target audience, however it is a really nice movie where even the kids can sit down an like it. My hope is that it can get released more widely so the rest of the population can see it.
I do know however that a lot of people do not like reading subtitles. Which is a big drawback because watching the movie in it's original Japanese language is what helps this movie even more.
That's why I loved this movie. It went against everything that Disney stands for. Most of their movies the main characters are rich, and considered by society to be beautiful. Stupid conformist crap. Shrek showed that you don't have to conform and you don't have to live up to other people's view of what beautiful is.
Actually my company had this idea a year and a half ago. We talked with American Express to team up with them about it. The idea was excellent and in fact we had the basic concept mapped out. Problem with it was we had no funding and resources to do this.
The president and I sat down and worked out the simple logic for it and basically we really don't care what each individual was buying. Our software would determine that and we'd get trends etc, but no one person would ever know what an individual would buy. Unless you specifically asked to see that person's buying habbits.
That is correct. The benefit of having Congress declare war means that they will work the budget to get you the resources to actually FIGHT the war.
Untill such resources are granted, everyone needs to stay in their budgeted amount of money. It's been quite some time since congress HAS declared war. They're very selective what they call wars. If we waited on them to declare war before the president does anything then a LOT of what has happened the past, eg Gulf War, would not have happened.
Lemme tell you this. WHO IN THE HELL IS GONNA ENFORCE THIS????!!!
Ok so they lose and it somehow is now illegal to skip commercials. They need to define that. Why? Because I'm still gonna get up and go to the bathroom, answer the phone or do whatever I want.
Why? Because you can't control people. Technically they're breaking their own little "law". If you wanna be extreme about it that is. Good thing I just watch anime most of the time. I'll gladly pay for dvd's of that rather than deal w/ the crap they're spewing out.
Just to let you know if you have Directv then this is sorta the case now. I'm watching ads on the tv and whenever AT&T comes on it asks me to interact w/ it. I'm using the Phillips receiver which has the interaction stuff.
It pops up on the Discovery Channel, several ads and on the Showtime network.
So this is already in place. Yeah there is probably some way to turn it off. Or I can just hit exit and it will go away. It's usefully because there are certain times where the interact button comes in helpful so I don't wanna disable it.
YOu know I haven't read such a riveting story in a while. That sounds soooo much like something you'd read out of a book or watch from a movie.
It's really interesting what has been able to happen and *IF* NDS is responsible for this and the death, the big question is WHY? Why risk everything? I guess they're going on the Risk it all and reap the biggest rewards.
And the part in the story saying that piracy helps their business and it's now just coming back to haunt them has me very intrigued. We always hear the RIAA complaining about these P2P services when an album comes out waaay before its supposed to be released.
Come on now, think about it, if you kept better tabs on what you're doing then this won't happen. But it always begs the question in light of this article, is there some truth to this rumour and will we see it come out in this court battle?
If it does come out, I wonder what this will mean for the other companies that do this.
Well it still remains that there is a bit of a need for colour prints. I have a hp693c inkjet and while yes I do print a lot of black and white stuff I also would like to print colour stuff as well.
Well here in the DC area it depends. If you want GREAT seats and huge screens w/ excellent sound, then yeah it's hard. There were 5, that's right 5 screens showing Spiderman.
ALL of the showings for Friday sold out the day BEFORE!!
Of course go 5 miles down the road to the local multiplex where your feet stick to the floor and there is crappy seating and sub par audio etc then you can easily find a seat to any movie.
Heck I got tickets to TPM 1 hour before the 12:01 showing. And that was for about 20 ppl. There was no one in that theather.
Of course that's b/c everyone went downtown dc to watch it =)
Well this surely will mean that ppl will lose their jobs seing that they've already setup the number of managers and VP's they have.
From what I hear this is gonna take place over the next year and we really won't see much in terms of action till a couple of months from now. They need to have a plan of action.
Lets just hope they do this in a smart way that way they don't screw to many ppl over. And lets hope that the AOL - TW merge was a lession in what NOT to do. If a particular "thing" works in in area and not in others, don't try to change it to make everyone conform =)
You know something, having a GUI for sendmail wouldn't be ALL that bad. C'mon, think about it, if you had the choice of selling this app which has all the configs availble via a GUI compared to a cryptic config file which do you think companies are gonna go with?
Businesses like easy things, I used to be the one all gung ho about command line stuff, but lately after being exposed to so many of our clients, they want everything simple. The KISS approach applies here. Yes, they may not know what they're doing and you want to keep the "idiots" from the software, however that elitist attitude will not work when trying to convince others to use the software.
Although...putting sendmail on a gui? Now that's scary =)
Evolution is one of the few things out there that could draw attention of the corporate eyes to using Linux as a desktop. The features that it has are really nice and comprable to those found in Outlook.
What will make it even better is the ability to import my mail from Outlook Express and handle about 10000 emails in a folder.
When it supports shared calenders then it will be great. Want to know why that feature is important? Well simply because the office manager can enter everyone's schedule into it and then everyone else can look at it to see where they're supposed to be, or if someone is gonna be going on vacation.
But all in all, it's a great program and I reall hope it keeps on improving. Now if only they got on of the MTA's to mimic the functionality of Exchange, as one easy to use package, then THAT would be awesome! I'd be able to convince my company to switch in no time.

Yeah....just turn off logging!

At a first glance I said so what? Then realized what he actually said...and man that's just weird.
You! Cut my milk!
You! Read my paper!
You two! Fight to the death!
What, you say milk can't be cut?
Freeze it, THEN cut it!
Arghh...that page is cool...but geez! It's dooo much damn info on one page!
Some people need to learn that they should ORGANIZE stuff better.
Actually yes I do. I've got all the boxes here and the orginal cd's to all the stuff on my HD. Heck I've got more LEGAL copies of the various windows OS that I got from school than I care to count.

I try not to remember that. I took a class on Price theory and all we ever talked about was these weird ass marginal cost curves etc.
Found out one of those bastards is actually ROUND!
Call me crazy, but what the hell does this have to do with HP?
If they would only do something for the *inside* that way I don't have to clean those as well!

And it's gone, faster than a fresh pot of coffee.
Great...now I gotta break out the beer just to get my morning kick.

True, but they're migrating a lot of it to STE's

Compaq makes good servers, lets keep it that way!
