That's odd, where I am at they started allowing 10 and 11 digit calling on sprint (soon Embarq). The only catch to 10-11 digit dialing is you either have to wait a few seconds or enter the # sign (PSTN equivlent to send or enter). I also make it common habit for my mom to dial 10 digits (I did not tell her about the # trick yet), but I don't know about my dad. Seven digit dialing is still the norm, but we always made it common practice to dial 10 digit on cellular since we are near the state line.
Some of those features are taken care of with mozilla calendar (I don't recommend Sunbird as it is Alpha right now) as part of T-Bird. It has Icalendar support, and it will email alerts (not working yet in Sunbird). I agree that a better outlook alternative is needed.
It should be, DVD Jon is already working on the DeAACS system now with a target date of late 2006/early 2007. The reason I know this is I know Cody Brocious (remember PyTunes/PyMusic) because I went to vo-tech with him. He now works for Linspire.
Plasma technology dates back far beyond the sixties. I should know, I'm a tech buff and a sixties buff (I will be writing a journal to explain). You find plasma technology in fluorescent lights (30's) neon lights (19th century and up), HID lights (again 19th century and up), Carbon Arc Lights, neon glow tubes, thyatron tubes (tube verson of an SCR), and so on. There are many plasma technologies out there. Oh I forgot the holy grail of numerical displays; the Nixie tube.
If this is going to be as bad as people think and you are required to turn off one portion of your operationto allow the remaining staff to maintain the rest, which of the following would you shut down:
-Phone System
-Customer Database
-Company Website
Of those I would run over and pull the plug on the Company webserver and get back to work on the others. Some mission critical systems may need your attention and other systems will have to be shut down to allow for the mission critical systems to be maintained.
Well, Sprint up my way tops out at 3 Mb for business. They however act as a common carrier for other DSL ISPs. There are three DSL ISPs in my area (Sprint, pa.net, and Innernet Inc which I use). I'm heading off to college and I will be getting cable internet service and that 3 Mbit (mid package) will be overkill for me.
Whoa, the article summary says that these will be in Chineese characters. This means that.com and.[chineese characters] are diffrent. While the.[chineese characters] will translate to.com by spoken and written language, they will not translate in the DNS.
This sounds like a good Idea, but in order to run the Windows programs you may need to use Wine. Try it on a trial basis with a few of the 95 or 98 computers and see how it works out.
The Macrovision circuit is the standard VHS AGC video circuit that is now required by federal law in all VCRs, DVD recorders, TV tuner/video capture cards, anything except a camcorder without a line in and Beta VCRs.
First off, I am NOT a muslim. Secondly, Allah is a name of a god, not a name of something bad. If they ban Allah, they need to ban all of the other gods. I'm glad they reversed the ban. However, every ban is somewhat unfair. Let's say someone is setting up accounts of a small company and uses yahoo for email. The IS department wants to set up an account with abcisecurity@yahoo.com it is banned, or the netadmin wants to setup an account as abcnetadmin it is also banned. Each ban is can cause problems with legit uses. Allah does not.
I was in a Vo-Tech school and I had a Hybrid experience. Before my Senior Year the Computer Tech program was involved in servicing most of the computers in the school. The exceptions were the servers, teacher owned systems, the stuff in the front office, and the security system. My junior year was bad. The system went down for a virus. It took us (30 some students and two teachers) two weeks to bring the school back up (most of it was to get our program up). When I had this job I had a very good position. I had the maintence office. Two of the three computers were infected and one had to be upgraded to Win2k. The third was not on the network and controlled the HVAC systems. No wall plates were used for network lines as it was easier to use a direct line from the switch in case somebody wanted a computer moved. My senior year my program had it's own servers. The file servers were mostly okay, the last few days the proxy server was screwed up and when it worked we had full access. That ment I could Google (blocked for gmail.google.com), look at stuff on eBay, view video game sites, and even on party day I played a game online. The teachers were the sysadmins and my last two years they had monitoring software. They could see and even take full control of the student workstations. They deleted Paint files from the time wasters. It was considered horseplay to go around this system when the teachers had control (unplug Network/Power or did a hard shutdown). Some of the stuff we got away with would have gotten other stuents in trouble. My first year (10th grade) a friend and I entered "Ping [teacher's ip] -t" and at that point the Computer Tech Shop was on a 10 Meg hub. We had the teacher's IP because he ran quizzes on a mini web server. I wish I knew about the -l option on the windows ping command, The whole shop would have went down.
I have to disagree with you there with the certified/uncertified drivers. I had major computer trouble when I was running an updated driver with my C-Media Sound Chip. I installed the old and uncertified driver the came with the motherboard and the problem was solved. Windows was restarting on the stop errors and I thought my power supply was on the brink of failure (it was anyway) and I replaced the power supply, started the game again, but after disabling auto restart saw the stop error.
A jump hour watch is a mix of analog and digital. As the name implies a good jump hour watch has a wheel that displays the hour in a window and jumps every hour. The minutes are displayed on another wheel and in an analog format where an arrow points at the minutes. The seconds are either not shown, a hand going around the face or most expensively a rebound where the hand goes across a speedometer type gauge and jumps back at the beginning of each minute. These are avalible in both Quartz and Mechanical (not sure about automatic).
I know where I my phone should be off, slilent, or if ringing is okay. My problem is usually forgetting to take the phone out of silent which is okay. On my phone (Samsung SCH-A650) I just hold down the # key to go to silent. I'm not one to spend a lot of time on the phone (unless I would normally on a landline and even less) because it is not a brick. Back before I got the case and I was having an eval out at a school, I sometimes needed to turn the phone off and sometimes forgot if I did. I simply (and discreetly) took the phone out of the holster, removed the battery, and reinstalled the battery which reset the phone to off. If my phone were to ring in an inapproriate place I know how to silence the ringer (either the up or down buttons on the side). If people would have common sense, and more importantly know how to use their cell phones, It would be a better world.
Free to Air is similar to putting an antenna out and telling the cable (or DBS) company to get lost. Stealing is like stealing a DBS signal. I know someone who uses a re-programmed FTA receiver to receive both dish network AND FTA channels. If you want American Programming you may need a C-Band Dish for MPEG-2 FTA even though most programming is on KU-Band.
Channels include:
CCTV 4 (China)
Pennsylvania Cable Network (C-Band USA)
Al-Jezera
etc.
You can get thousands of channels.
No, I'm not from the UK, but I read an official website on this issue. For those of you that are wondering, I'm from the USA. First limit yourself to one TV if you can, this means on VCR DVR or anything else that has an antenna input. If you can, get a black and white TV as these are cheaper. You may also qualify for a university student discount for your license. DON'T skip the license as this could cost you 1,000 POUNDS for a fine. The TV license website is http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/index.jsp. I'm going off to a different type of college soon, I will spare you the details to keep this post on topic.
This is true. Most people don't want to buy a new TV to not see a diffence with more expensive cables. In my house, my mom has the lower quality home theater in a box (not even an FM Tuner), but I hooked her up with s-video as her TV and system can use that (neither have component). My system on the other hand has a boat load of features (ok I don't have JPEG or SVCD), but my TV only has composite. I have to use composite even though my system support component. My mom's system is fully expanded and has no video switching, mine is expanded to the max too but only on video and analog audio (my mom only has analog audio and her pro logic decoder is shit (no decoding at all just speaker pass through).
What about the mass spectrum space above 30 GHz
on
The Feds Vacate Airwaves
·
· Score: 2, Informative
People don't realize the spectrum only seems small. I dream of cable TV being sent to the home, car, handheld, etc by celluar radio. Gigabit wireless, hundreds of thousands of broadcast channels, and more brought to you by EHF. EHF is the portion between 30 GHz and Infared (300 GHz). Public safety would beneift as these frequencies as not many buildings can block EHF. Police would be able to see a picture from an APB (if avalible) along with the audio description. There would be no more long antennas as wavelengths are reaching milimeters and centimeters at this point.
First off, it will sound as if you have your back facing the concert. Secondly, Stereo Music WILL sound biased to the left channel. Most music (especially oldies) have the vocals balance mostly to the left channel and the insterments balance mostly to the right. If you want proof of this get a copy of Sunshine Lollipops by Leslie Gore (quickest example that I could find). When the "crowd" joins in they join in biased on the right channel. To keep on topic here it is volume NOT headset type that is the key. I try to keep the volume low enough to hear me and I use a large style closed cup headset (with 1/8" plug) on my MP3 Player.
If Microsoft only backs one technology it will be difficult to convince vendors to use another technology when special drivers are required. If Microsoft puts HD-DVD support in Vista and not Blue-Ray, Blue-Ray backers will sue Microsoft. If the opposite is supported the oposite group sues. If they support neither (as in XBOX 360) or both they will not have to deal with court cases. This may delay launch of High-Def support until both formats come avalible, but it would be worth it to Microsoft to avoid another court case.

Why not use a removable hard disk cartridge. The Iomega Rev Drives have autoloading capablity, 35 GB (I know this is a little low) capacity, and the major advantages as tape. The disk and spindle motor are stored in the cartridge.

"Hello, I would like to report a burned out street light..." I'm serious, 311 is the number to call for burned out street light bulbs.

This happens to work in google toolbar and quite possibly any toolbar for FF.
