Hopefully the suggestion to move to GSM will help. FWIW, Cingular and ATTWS have had an agreement to share cell towers for the last 6 months or so. I couldn't get ATTWS reception at my house; when the agreement went into force, my phone would switch to Cingular. (It was wierd seeing Cingular on my phone, especially as an ATTWS employee!)
Why is it that the Liberals think if they repeat lies enough times that it becomes true?
Everyone got the same intelligence and recommended removing Saddam, even Kerry did at one time. Who knows what his current position is.
The Clinton BJ wasn't that big a deal, lying *under oath* was the bad part. Of course, if you or I would be caught getting a BJ in the office at work, we would both get canned. I suppose he was supposed to get a special BJ priviledge?
No, there were pilot projects before that, and interviews to see whether current projects would be candidates for outsourcing. This has been going on for awhile.
Maybe you should compare it to NASDAQ: AWE with NASDAQ We IPO'd at a high rate like most others, but it was oversold; and the whole tech industry took a nose dive. The stock price had nothing to do with our performance, and we in fact became profitable earlier than planned.
Things were going well until Corrado and his henchmen took over, and there was talk about outsourcing.
I knew things were going downhill when the management style started feeling like I was back at Boeing....
HDTV for Satellite will run you at least $500 for the equipment, whereas HDTV on Cable is only about a $5 monthly charge.
Plus, you get the local channels in HDTV.
This year there will be Motorola PVR with single and dual tuners. And VOD is also coming within a few months in my area (already enabled in other areas).
And it isn't just chemicals or sugar, even certain "natural" foods can trigger food allergies. Some food allergies can give ADHD-like symptoms.
It's worth a look.

I'm not sure. Unless this is another mistake in the movie: Bilbo got quite old very quickly after he wasn't under the power of the ring. Gollum was much older, yet he was still quite spry even without the ring's power...
Actually, it was smart of them to be able to ramp up. Instead of having a million people hammering the server on the first day, maybe only half a million until the word gets out.
Too bad the concept didn't work. I was able to register, but all the servers are down, can't even play the tutorial.:(
Thom Hartmann ("ADD: A Different Perception.") doesn't believe that the ADD condition is a disability.
He believes there are two kinds of people, Hunters and Farmers. Hunters have to scan the horizon, taking in all the inputs in order to find game. Farmers plod ahead, focused on plowing their current row.
http://www.thomhartmann.com/hunterfarmer.shtml He found a high incidence of ADD in some natives in Canada (Inuit?), a tribe that gets most of their food by hunting.
The problem with today's education system, is that we're trying to force Hunters to be Farmers. Ritalin, an amphetamine, calms Hunters down.
But there are many successful Hunters that don't need to conform to the Farmer world. So, the Hunter should find a career that utilizes his traits (as noted in the above URL), and he will be successful and happy.
My son was constantly getting kicked out of daycares for being too aggressive, and when his kindergarden teacher was totally exasperated because he would never sit down, we had him diagnosed. Giving him drugs was the last thing we wanted to do, but the alternative was major damage to his self-esteem because he couldn't control himself and felt like a failure. Too much Ritalin will make a kid into a zombie, I didn't like that. But just the right amount allowed him to control himself and he was much happier.
Now that he's in high school, he quit taking those drugs. Earlier he had switched to Adderol, but it affected his heart. Now he's trying to deal with being a Hunter. It's very challenging, he's smart and scores high but gets very low grades because homework doesn't get done.
I know he'll be successful in whatever he decides to do. I don't consider grades to be an indicator of his future success.
Some people are more susceptible to rainbowing than others. I've had my DLP since last Fall and only saw rainbows once during a particular scene on DVD. And I had to flick my eyes back and forth away from the TV to see it...
There are many statistics about how motorcyclists have been faulted as the cause of collisions, but I'd be willilng to bet that most of those have been indirectly (or directly) caused by the car, or other surrounding motorists (I'm not including those plastic, 20lb "sport" bikes, because the guys who drive those seem to have a death wish).
You would win that bet. The Hurt Study showed that about 66% of accidents were the fault of the automobile driver! Mostly in turning left in front of a motorcyclist. The most common excuse was that they didn't see the motorcyclist. This is why a lot of bikers run with their headlights on high beam, and some run louder pipes, so that they get noticed. (Hi visibility clothing and a brightly colored motorcycle helps; it also helps if you look like a cop!)
The "Death Wish" sport bike riders rarely have collisions with cars, their accidents usually involve them running off the road.
In many states that have extremely high traffic congestion, it is actually safer for a motorcyclist to share a lane and go between cars. For example, in California the CHP was against any laws making it illegal; in stop and go traffic a motorcyclist is more likely to be hit from behind from an inattentive driver. Lane-sharing can be done safely (say no more than 20mph speed differential from surrounding vehicles, and watch for openings in traffic where a car may try to change lanes.)

But back to the subject at hand, this bugger is a 3 wheeler. So it will be plenty stable on slippery roads.
Not only that, but it will also be classified as a motorcycle and not have to go through EPA or DOT crash testing. Which means light weight.
With an 1100cc Gixxer engine and good aerodynamics, it is very possible that this thing could make 200MPH.
This won't blind the pilot for any long period of time... but final approach and near touchdown are critical stages in a landing. Startle or distract the pilot and you might be able to crash the plane.
Most planes have auto-landing systems now. Your smoothest landings usually happen when they have them turned on. Pilots still like to fly the planes and will manually land them, but this could be an argument for them to use the autoland systems more often.
So give me one good reason why I would choose to spend my hard-earned dollars on a resource that is (1) dated as soon as the PDF hits the mailbox and (2) replicated by on-line resources?
Because I'd rather bring a magazine to my reading room (i.e. toilet) than a computer?
You know, you could send email to a bunch of us with the title "Make Money Fast!!!", telling us how to do it... I bet people would even pay to find out!
Anyways, Im glad that support for Tribes 2 has continued for Linux (Can you still buy it?)....But are there any other companies that are doing what Loki did?
Yes, you can still buy it at Tux Games: www.tuxgames.com
This game is worth it! I upgraded my system just to play this game.
Opera's had MDI browsing for quite some time. I still don't know why IE doesn't. It keeps all those popups under control.
IE hasn't been under development since they won the browser wars.
in general, you want to have about double the amount of swap space as you do ram. i believe one of the main reasons for this is when you get a major crash, the kernel cant dump the memory to disk, only to swap space, so you need the swap space big enough to hold the contents of your ram plus a bit more.
I can't see how most users would care, this sounds useful only for debugging the kernel. If my kernel is crashing, I don't care if I run out of swap.
This is an old FAQ and OS legend. In linux, you only need enough swap to cover what your RAM can't handle. Even with pigs like Mozilla and Xemacs running, I barely dent my swap. (512MB RAM, only using 13MB of swap.) Since access to swap is much slower than RAM, it is best to get more RAM than you need. A few hundred MB of swap will then be sufficient.
This appears to have confused some people, especially since the lead story is wrong.
AT&T Wireless is not AT&T Broadband (formerly TCI.) They do PocketNet which allows network access from your phone, but that isn't the same thing.
Management is still clueless, however, since they denied us a bonus because of turnover on the Prepaid plans. (Does anybody think Prepaid is a good deal?) Or maybe they aren't clueless and just want to screw the employees to help the next quarter's profit line. (There's been a lot of belt-tightening since we split off from AT&T.) Probably typical in the current economic climate.
Too true. For example, I have a Concealed Weapons Permit which required me to be fingerprinted and go through a background check. Our State Constitution is even more clear than the 2nd Amendment regarding our right to be armed for self-defense, but our work policy prevents us from even having a gun in our cars in the parking lot.
Here's the logic: an employee will ignore the laws against assault and murder but the fact that he could get fired will prevent him from causing violence? Riiight.
Well, if something happens to me on the way to work, I *will* sue!;)
Dual Booting means yet another OS that you have to maintain. I'd rather play games. (Although I enjoy maintaining Linux...) And I didn't like the fact that my mail and web servers were unavailable while in Windows.
Few games have kept my attention very long but the availability of games from Loki has satisfied my needs. I haven't installed the Windows drivers for my Nvidia card since it was installed months ago and I'll be able to reclaim that disk space for my linux side.

If you get the HDTV Motorola cable box, not only will it have component output, but also DVI and Firewire.
Assuming you get a late 5100 or 6200 box.
