Among other choices... Provision+ DVD Decoder I have it on good authority that it works like a champ, although I personally would never own anything like this that would allow me to circumvent a content protection system.:-)
Absolutely!! Hashing was my gateway into 'legitimate' running, some 2 years ago. And I'm running my first marathon (a trail marathon w/ no roads!!) this summer.
Our hash group would give you a down-down (or three) for showing up with an iPod and GPS.
I sent an inquiry - here's the response (from notebooktsd@asus.com):
Hi,
We do not sell direct, but we have started selling our notebooks without an operating system to our distributors, so you may be able to specify this from your store.
They pick up drink boxes (and other similar containers as part of our curbside recycling program. Our guys are pretty vigilant about leaving anything that's not recyclable in the blue curbside bin (ie empty quart motor oil bottles), but they've never left juice boxes.
Go do a Hash Run, the main activity of the Hash House Harriers. They're a self described 'drinking group with a running problem...' and there are local chapters world-wide.
Around here, a hash run is a 4 mile (give-or-take) hounds-and-hare run, that can go through woods, neighborhoods, office parks, fields, etc., usually w/ just enough time to rest if you're not one of the strong running front-runner types. There are usually a couple of beer breaks (with non-beer too, if that's your thing). It's a pretty geeky, very fun crowd. So go find a local chapter and go for a run.
Anyone out there remember the TV show from the 70's (around the time of Star Wars) called Quark, with (I think) Richard Benjimin. (http://www.tvparty.com/recquark.html) He flew a intergalactic garbage scow around and collected garbage. What a show....
About as close as I've seen is this. You can buy other power tips that change the voltage and connector as appropriate. The list of compatible devices and their appropriate adapter tips is here for phones, pda, & printers and laptops. As a bons, the same tips work with their airline adapter.
DeLorme's Street Atlas, at least V7 and the newer Road Warrior edition, let you pull up radio station listings (am & fm, w/ freq and genre) for any location along a given route. Does that help?

Am I the only one who thinks that tossing active nuclear material, regardless of how decayed, in the trash is not the best thing for the environment? Even if it goes into the biohazard waste to be incenerated, that's not much better.
The ITI-2135, ITI-2147, and ITI-2150 riser cards are new products that IntraServer-LSI Logic introduced to enable OEMs, System Integrators, and Resellers to build systems where vertical space and PCI slots are at a premium.
ITI-2135, ITI-2147, and ITI-2150 use one PCI slot and create three 64-bit PCI slots at a 90 degree angle to the motherboard surface. These adapters are ideally suited to OEMs, System Integrators, and Resellers who require more PCI slots or have space constraints. These cards are ideally suited for 2U form factor system enclosures.
I spent a year as a cubemate with a great visually impared programmer named Marcel. He did programming mostly on an HP mini, and was very good at it. He had a speech synth card in his PC (running a dos-based terminal emu) that would read characters and words to him, and had a large, loud braile printer that with it's even larger sound enclosure, took up lots of our collective cube space. He was a great guy, and had the best collection of blind jokes.
He was also second in command of the IT group, and occasionally had to sign authorizations of various types (vactaion, purchase, etc.). To do this he had trust in everyone that worked for him, and a little signature template (think credit card-sized piece of metal with a rectangular hole in it) that he'd ask people to place over where he needed to sign. Never had a problem.
The only thing we weren't able to come up with a good solution for was a pager.
Marcel was a really great guy - don't think I've had a better cube-mate since.
Didn't they have a guy running around in one of the junkyard wars in a set of these? Not part of the challenge for that episode, but either the judge's 'expert' brought them along or they belonged to one of the team members.
I've run most of my purchases through http://www.bestbookbuys.com/ It'll point you to several sources for that title (search by author, title or isbn) along with estimated shipping.
More often than not, bookpool.com turns out being the most affordable. I've never had any problems with them. YMMV.

FWIW, I just went and tried it and the ID field is size-limited to 8 characters, so the nearest I could do was 'SWEATSHO'. I suppose Nike could've changed it.
Look at pilots - they're less bright than coders by a lot, (I speak from USAF experience), but they're highly skilled and unionized - most airline pilots bring in $100,000+ for doing a job that's substantially less challenging than writing complex code.
Actually, no, very few professional pilots bring in $100,000. The seasoned vetrans with 25+ years of senority might, but the vast majority make at or less than public school teachers. (Coming from someone who has friends who are pilots). It takes 5-10 years for most of them to break $30,000. And it's kinda apples to oranges to compare coding creativity to the potential for stress and the responsibility that comes with being an airline pilot.

I have a S-4542 that's pushing 3 years old and I could not have been happier with. I've beat on it a lot and it hasn't skipped a beat.
I'm planning on replacing it with another Fujitsu S-series in the fall.
