I don't know about you, but I would never go out into the bush without a compass. True, I may also have a handheld GPS unit, but what if it's batteries run out or it falls 200 feet down a rocky slope or I drop it in a lake? For something as important as navigation, never rely on just one device.
I stand corrected. After looking at the site, I do remember it being Gothic something-or-other. I was trying to go from memory (it's been about 6 years). Oh well.
One of my high school year books has a theme based on roads/highways (it was pretty dumb). So we called the Department of Transportation (Michigan) and asked what font the highway signs were written in. Amazingly enough, the receptionist knew right off the bat. Helvetica.
There's a pretty interesting article in the April issue of Discover Magazine entitled Guth's Grand Guess (only in print, not online) theorizing on the birth of the universe.
Where did everything come from? Don't say, "the Big Bang." To say that everything came from the Big Bang is like saying babies come from maternity wards--true in a narrow sense, but it hardly goes back far enough. Where did the stuff that went "bang" come from? What was it? Why did it bang?
I've always been quite confused at the Mac population's insistence on only using one mouse button when they have 5 fingers. That's way i've never bought one of those snazzy PowerBooks.
However, my new employer uses mostly Macs with OS 9 (many of our apps don't work in OS X classic mode). I've found that if you're actually using Mac OS and you slap a nice 4 button USB mouse on there, the extra mouse buttons really don't do you much good, since the OS is more-or-less designed for only one button. Hence, there isn't anything for the extra buttons to do.

Low-end Laptops?

We've got about 4 "officers of the law" (state-troopers, no local cops) for an area the size of the state of Ohio.
"$/MHz" is not the units. In the equation "price of laptop = clock speed in MHz * 2", the only units are dollars and MHz. The price/MHz is not an issue in this case.
However, Saskatoon is cooler than Regina. Saskatoon has sailing vessels that don't quite float, a stuffed-bird-retrieving dog, and owls with a fondness for rumble seat riding...
Yeah, OR has some pretty good stuff. I've got some folding-finger type gloves, but then the tips of my fingers get cold.:) I think I'm going to try one of those tubes you hang on your waist to stick your hands in (some football players use them). Stick a couple of those chemical hand warmers in there and it should be right toasty.
Fortunately, I don't work all winter, so I don't have to worry about it *too* much. No frostbite problems reading/. now is there?:)
I've tried chemical hand warmers and they help some. I slip them underneath my thin gloves on the back of my hand. My problem is finding gloves that are warm *and* still allow plenty of dexterity (I need to be able to write and punch buttons). They need to work in everything from +25F and windy to -25F and calm. Hopefully the boss man wouldn't want to send us out in anything colder than that...:)
Am I the only person here who's hands are always cold, (even more so outside during the winter)?
Nope. But, they are going to make gloves. Sometime in the next year or so, I think. I'll snatch up a couple pair when they come up because my hands get damn cold surveying in Alaska during the winter... The electric gloves that are out now are too bulky to be of any use.
What about Dinty Moore microwave meals? They don't need to be refridgerated. Not sure about the shelf-life, but I bet it's at least a year. Check your local grocery or Wal-Mart.
The seller orders a camcorder using my friends credit card from a online shop and has it shipped to him. The shipping information and the credit card billing information match so the online shop had no problem shipping it.
He got the the camcorder and was happy so he sent the cashiers check.
The shipping invoice usually (but not always) shows how the shipment was paid for. If it was a credit card, it'd show the last four digits or something. Besides, wouldn't you be a little suspect if you were expecting a package from a private individual and instead got a package from "ABC Digital Cameras"?
I've been running some form of Windows for a little over 5 years with nary a virus. Instead of going with a system-resource-hogging-anti-virus program, I'd stick with a good firewall (free) and a bit of saviness (not opening strange attachements, etc...).

How exactly to you get a car 10 miles from any metal object when the car itself is metal? That 10 miles figure is very suspect to begin with.

My sarcastic detector really hasn't kicked in yet this morning, but he's refering to this product and not any of that crap Real puts out.

Works in Win2k also. I set it in TweakUI (under the "cmd" tab).
Why not just install the Cygwin tools and find out?
Thanks for the info. I'll give that a shot.
In regards to the single-mouse-button issue...

All right, it's Sunday afternoon and I'm bored...

It should simply be [$ = MHz * 2] based on his wording.
I had someone ask me once if I had AOL. After I told her, no, I don't have AOL she said, "But how do you get online?"

-10C? Are you kidding? It easily gets colder than that in Texas! (for the celsius challenged, -10C = +14F)

This works fine for desktop PCs. But what about laptops?
U.S. money is not paper. It's 75% cotton and 25% linen. Not sure at what temp it ignites though...
