That wouldn't explain why he has 30 psi all but 2, if they were ALL 30 psi, or one whole bank, then maybe.

That tool doesn't seem to support anything besides Outlook variants, according to this page:
http://www.isysemail.com/faqs/#usageq2
I don't use outlook, and a lot of others here don't use Outlook, so I would have to say that this tool doesn't allow me to search my mail and keep the client I want to at all. I would probably be more inclined to say it would enable me to search my mail using a client I can't stand, which does me no good.
This is very interesting. I have noticed a trend that fits in exactly with this information.
For about a year I have been noticing that a good deal of commercials seem to generally follow the same hypothetical situation:
Man is doing something stupid
A Women, presumably his SO informs him of his stupidity.
The man either continues in his stupidity or has some sort of revelation and seeks advice.
Woman recommends some sort of product to help the man with his problem.
Also, a growing amount of TV shows portray the Woman and being the toughguy, sort of speak, and the man seems to be relegated to bumbling fool status. Movies seem to be the same, although there isn't so much buffoonery produced by males.
I guess I was a little harsh on you. I just was fed up with the replies in that article and was a little peeved about seeing it again.
As far as the humor goes, given the amount of people who were serious about that in the other article, I guess it didn't occur to me that it was tounge in cheek. As I don't really know you too well, it could have just as likely been serious.
I had that beverage while I was gone, and it did help.
I thought this was discussed until everyone was blue in the face. Go back and read the article, the only person saying this protocol is for the Internet is the author. This doesn't make it fact. Authors of articles get things all mixed up all the time. If you read all of the quotes from Dr. Injong Rhee, he never said it was for the Internet.

You are thinking of RFC1483
(Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5) which is
obsoleted by RFC2684
1483 Bridged does have lower overhead than PPPoA or PPPoE, but it sends
broadcasts down the wire, both IP and Ethernet type. Depending on
your network this could waste more bandwidth than PPPoX. 1483
Routed solves this, but you need ot allocate more IP space to use it.

I know for sure that Colorado and Wisconsin have criminal court
proceedings online, effectivly putting your police record out there for
anyone who knows your name or even parts of your name.
It did come in handy for me lately, as I found out someone gave my name
when they were arrested. Had this resource not be available, I
may have never known. Now I have to get it off, and they don't
make it easy.
You may be correct about wget, the last time I tried it was about 6-7 months ago, and I didn't get it to work. I didn't try all that hard though, because I already knew of pavuk and I knew it did a better job.
http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/pavuk/pavuk.1.html That is the man page to Pavuk. If you search for referer on that page, it will tell you how to use the -auto_referer option.
If you enable referer checking, this will stop most wget type programs. Wget has an --referer=URL option, but I find that it doesn't work. Also, there are a lot of windows clients that will spider a website and pull files based on extention, but again these don't usually have an option to set referer, or if they do most people aren't smart enough to turn it on.
One exeption to this is Pavuk, which does referer spoofing pretty well. This program is about 4 times harder to use than wget, and isn't very popular (you don't see it included in distros too often).
Of course this won't completely fix your problem, but it will probably stop about 90% of the people doing it now. It's an easy fix that you can implement quickly until you get something to throttle bandwidth properly.
As far as replacement food goes, I have one thing to add to your post.
All of us geeks like caffeine to get motivated in the morning, during work, etc. A lot of guys I know get this through Mountain Dew or Jolt or coffee.
My suggestion is switching to unsweetened iced tea, or black coffee. Soda and non black coffee obvoiusly have lots of sugar in them, and as far as trying to stay thin goes, processed sugar is the worst food you can eat. Also, unsweetened iced tea has no calories and black coffee has very few.
Let's say a typical can of soda has 150 calories. Let's say you cut three cans out of your day and replace it with something with no calories. That's 450 calories that you lost right away. To lose one pound, they say you have to either cut out or burn 3600 calories. So in under 10 days you will have lost a pound, just from not drinking 3 sodas.
Also, sugar creates an insulin rush, that when you come down from makes your metabolism take a crap, which is probably right around the same time the caffiene wears off. This is not good for trying stay thin.
It's got a lot of drivers (as modules), ext2 (which should work on ext3) undelete utilities, and all the daemon and client utils you could want. It's great for non-booting laptops that need to have data dumped off of them so you can reload the OS (something that happens a lot).
One thing it doesn't do is autodetect everything like Knoppix does, and it doesn't have X, but it does fit on a minicd where Knoppix does not.

Go to brbpub.com. There is a public records link on the left. You can search through federal, state and county public record sites. It's the best I have seen so far, that's free.
First thing, as some others have pointed out, is to go to the MB manufacturer instead of going to award. My guess is that with a 500 meg limit, the best bios upgrade would be for 2 gigs, and if you are really lucky, 8 gigs. Highly unlikely that you will find any bios upgrade unless it's a pretty good brand name board.
Second thing you could do is use a bios overlay. I used to know how these worked, but details are hazy. The jist was like this, the bios overlay would sit on the MBR of the drive, then when your bios recognized the drive and started to boot it, the overlay would over write the memory that contained the drive geometry. Or something like that.
Or you could get a promise controller or similar PCI IDE controller. Unless this box is too old for PCI this is your best bet. I have a couple P55T2P4 Asus boards with over 100 gigs of drive space in them even though the bios only recognizes up to 30 gig.
It appears that yahoo is using the same data and engine that Northern LIght is using.
If you do a very specific search (someting that produces limited hits) on both sites the result is exactly the same, right down to the price, Doc size and ID, citation info and so on.
Even the order that they list the results is the same.
Ever since I was a kid, all of my relatives and their friends have said the same thing.
First it was because of points going away. They complained that they couldn't tune the dwell and all that not-so-fun stuff and how it was keeping them from making the motor run properly.
Next thing was fuel injection. Christ did people get upset when that happened. "I can't tune it and make it do what I want" is what everyone said. Problem with that is that your engine control computer tunes the fuel delivery all the time, faster and better than anyone can tune a carb.
LIttle after these things happened the aftermarket came out with products that allowed you to tune both of these aspects better than anyone ever could the old fashioned way. Only problem is that most carb builders don't take kindly to adjusting fuel and timing curves with a laptop. So they continued to bitch.
The point is that no matter what the car makers do, two things will happen: People will bitch and the aftermarket will devise products to bring back the user accessability aspect. This will always happen because of one fundamental truth about people and their cars: they will always modify, tune and generally make thier cars thier own.
It wasn't dsl-like, it was dsl. They wanted you to think it wasn't because of all the negative attention dsl has gotten lately, with all the dsl companies around drying up.
It was an interesting concept, but poorly implemented. It used Lucent (Ascend) Stinger DSLAMs, which are not a good choice. It seems the Stinger has one que for all traffic on the access (DSL) side, which meant that your voice data had to wait in line behind your data traffic. I was waiting to get it here to see if you ran into problems with moving tons of data and trying to be on the phone at the same time. Too bad that won't happen.
The service was never meant to be a home service, it was meant for businesses. When that didn't take off so well they switched gears to try to get customers, which is why service areas were lacking for the home market. I know that in Denver for example, if you are not downtown you can forget about it.
This is terrible not just because it was an opportunity to get a lot of bandwidth for cheap that is now gone, but because this is a BIG nail in the coffin for other DSL companies. No one was funding these projects and they have yet another big excuse with this news. Something along the lines of "If Sprint couldn't do it, why do you think you can?" comes to mind.
I have a 73 Land Cruiser that gets jealous of my other cars on a regular basis.
I bought it about 3 years ago and everything was fine. It got along with my Mustang SVO mainly because the SVO was already there when I brought her home. She was going to be my ultimate winter vehicle.
The day I got it I put it into the drive way and set the emergency brake. She seemed solid so I assumed the brake worked. I go back outside, and she was across the street against another car. Hosed the other cars bumper to hell. Cost me 400 bucks, and that was with a hookup at the local body shop. I find out later from some of the other cars in the hood that this car was talking shit to my Land Cruiser, talking about its yellow color and lack of hubcaps. So the Land Cruiser attacked this other car, earning the nickname "attack vehicle".
Later on I bought an '88 LX Mustang interceptor, complete with rollbar. Attack Vechicle was not happy and decided to open the hood at about 50mph. Luckily I was on a straight road that I know pretty well and there were no intersections comming up.
I got rid of the Interceptor after 4 months (and 4 tickets) and bought a 1963 Lincoln. I figured that the Attack Vehicle and the Lincoln would get along because the Lincoln is of the male car gender while the Land Cruiser is female.
Nope. Not too long ago the Attack Vehicle jettisoned its number 6 connecting rod cap out the side of the block. For those who don't know about cars, this is about as bad as a motor can screw up. The block isn't even useable as there is a big hole in the side.
So I got a new motor on the stand and am going through it now. I open the garage door so she can see me working on it and know that I am paying attention to her. Hopefully this jealosy will end as I will have put about 80 hours into fixing her motor.
