I spent the money and got a Hardcano 12 from Thermaltake. It allows you to hook up 4 fans with 4 temperature thermistors. It has two modes where it will automatically adjust the fans depending on individual temperature settings or you can do it manually.
Pretty nifty and cuts down on the fan noise unless necessary

(thank god I previewed otherwise the tags would have disappeared and someone might take me seriously.)
I found saying "Take me off your Call list" usually would get a response of "Ok Thank you" and they never call back. The only thing I have received since then was a call where it hung up and I called the number back and was told to mail them asking to be removed. I found out they were part of the Canadian Marketing Association who sounds like they are trying to preempt any reatiliation by setting up a Do Not Call list thinking that they may get worse from the govt. So I left my name and number. Now if that ends up getting me more calls then I just go back to the original response.
The best one though was that I got a call from some charity (shriners or something) asking if I could donate. I asked for them to take me off their call list. The guy came back with a snotty tone of "We don't have to do that so there" Yeah that is going to make me want to donate.
And that is why I asked for clarification. I assumed it was more than caller id. But the question is how does it work? Can't the VOIP providers emulate whatever signal the phone company sends to the 911 service?
I am looking at voip as a replacement for POTS at home. Not for roaming per se but you make a good point. But unless you have something impaled through your throat in the ditch you should be able to tell them where you are anyways. By at least setting up a default address it deals with this one shortcoming with 911.
VOIP providers should be able to set a default address to provide to 911 and if I don't say otherwise it should be assumed to send someone to that address. Obviously 911 staff needs to be educated about this new technology and be aware that the call may give a different address
Thing that bothers me the most is that I can't assign freelook to a coolie hat on a joystick for any of the vehicles. I use my joystick for any vehicle driving and keyboard and mouse for on foot. They hacked it for BF1942 but it was annoying as it would involve using shift and was only temporary.
Thing is that normally snipers in the Real World are very aware that once they pull the trigger that they should consider their position blown. Showing where snipers location when a person was killed should be forcing the sniper to move and find another hiding place.
I agree but I think there is something that needs to be addressed as well with voip. The fact that you need to provide your address.
I don't how 911 determines where you live but I assume it has to do with caller-id connected to a database of addresses. Can someone clarify why they (the voip companies) can't provide necessary info for 911?
the 911 solution seems to be a hack. I was looking at getting Vonage but the thing that concerns me is that with calling 911 you have to give the person on the other end your address. What if there is a situation where you can dial but for some reason can't say anything i.e choking, home invasion etc?
Once they address this then I will probably look into it again.
And then I borrow your car and run a red light. Guess who's getting the ticket!
The owner of the car gets the ticket as they are ultimately responsible for whomever drives their car. Here (Ontario) if someone borrows your car and runs a red light, you get a ticket in the mail but you don't get any points off which means that the owner of the car involved is getting the ticket not the individual.
Personally I think red light cameras are a good idea. People seem to forget that yellow means stop if safe to do so. And usually if the lights have walk signals you know when they start flashing that the light is going to change soon so you can slow down (or speed up if you think you can make it).
Um yes they do, well at least the 20Gig 4G iPod does. I bought one about a month and a half ago and it came with the USB2 and Firewire cable as well as the wall power adapter for firewire.
The design exam for the MCSE for 2003 is probably the worst. It is basically taking everything from all the other books that are mandatory (70-290->70-294) as well as new some less technical material and throwing it at you. I did 70-298 and will usually use Braindumps after studying to test my knowledge. There wasn't any. Usually by the time I do a braindump, I get them right anyways. Unlike some paper MCSEs I like to know I understand the concepts before going and do the cert.
You forgot to mention that he has donated tons of money (billions?) to good causes. His business ethics are/were questionable but he has done more in other ways to make up for it.
That was true with NT 4 exams as they had been out long enough that Transcenders and braindumps were pretty accurate so all you needed to do was the Transcenders enough times and read the latest braindumps and you could pretty much pass them without cracking a book.
With 2003, it isn't that easy. The braindumps help a little but the questions are getting more and more complicated and I gather changed. There is a new format of exam as well where you get one situation and about 10 questions regarding each situation and you can't go back once you finished the situation. You need to do more hands on and be more comfortable and know the interfaces so you can do it blindfolded.
Way back (1990-91) my dad was testing out a Trimble GPS (big green thing with dipswitches) for the Canadian Military and we took one on a trip from Ottawa to L.A. It had the little egg shaped antenna. Everyonce in a while at a truck stop someone would ask what it was. We would say it was for a radar detector or cell phone.
This was early enough that more often than not we got "Not enough satellites"
First, I live in Canada where the courts have ruled it's not illegal to download music from p2p networks (too lazy to dig up a news link). Only for so long. The new Copyright bill (C-6) which went through it's first hearing yesterday will change that quite quick. I would suggest if you haven't yet, that you contact your MP and voice your opinion on this bill if you want to continue doing it legally. I did.

You gotta wonder where they find the morons who become cops
I think it is a prerequisite for the job. Mall Security may be a training camp for it.
MSN doesn't show Groom Lake. Google does but I suspect this is because MSN is using more flyover photography when you zoom in.
:)
Or it could be that they can claim they are trying to obey the US Govt. Maybe they had a picture of a Flying Saucer

Thanks for the info!
I stand corrected
Not quite.
M = NC-17
AO = NC-18 (or is that X?)
That remains to be seen....

If I am getting voip, I am getting rid of the landline. I want a straight replacement. Until then there is no point (for me).

Was it an easter egg?
Did the higher ups at Rockstar know it was there?
If not, you have to wonder if heads are going to roll.

I prefer iPodovich. Has a better ring to it.

You know that is true. I had it happen to me when I was in Yellowknife... in November

An interesting read from Michael Geist:

Problem is that 90% of the market is that type of user. How do you expect to get them over?
