    Buying some iPod shuffles...

    Yeah, I have a Cflash based MP3 player with 256MB and a 20G disk drive based player. The 20G is great for road trips or sitting around the park but the other one is essential for impact activities. The 20G holds my entire music collection (@128bit) and the upgraded batteries (2400mAh) last 10...

    Judging by those who talk about it all the time, virtue seems to consist of three elements: (1) walking around like you have a broom up your ass, (2) feeling smug about the broom up your ass and (3) thinking the world would be a perfect place if only we could get rid of people who use phrases...

    Automated paging systems

    In addition to mubs suggestion, how about setting the machine to page every minute until reset. The solutions I am familiar with of is similar to what fushigi was talking about but a little different. With Nextel, You actually get the email complete with a small header.

    It would work just like a phone. The computer would have a modem in it and dial the pager number. Alternatively, your paging company may have the ability to accept emails as text pages.

    Taste of Freedom for Iraq

    Why, this opinion piece is nothing but a condemnation of political rhetoric. Of all people I'd expect the cynical Aussies to dismiss rhetoric as pedantics. Never the less by stooping to address rhetoric, this article becomes itself pedantic. Hardly pertinent to the topic at hand at all. Look...

    Automated paging systems

    You could probably take a mouse apart pretty easily and get the computer to wait for some combination of the mouse buttons. Say, right and middle together. You could even get studier buttons and wire them in.

    Taste of Freedom for Iraq

    How do you propose to go forward using only that which exists in the past. Do you propose some sort of Groundhog's day scenario or perhaps you are just shooting from the hip resulting in non-sense. For instance, what history do you propose we relive? France's?

    Taste of Freedom for Iraq

    I think your statement is appropriately steeped in humility. No argument here. Life is an experiment. Anyone who thinks they have the road map by which to make every decision in life is severly deluded.

    That might be relevant if they were not voting on a parliamentary system. That is, they did not vote for individuals but for political parties and coalitions, based on the views embodied in their respective platforms – which, as Berman pointed out, were widely circulated.[/url]

    It's been 20F in the mid-mornings dropping to 15-17 as a min. No snow yet except on the mountains. It's really not that bad. Except two nights ago I lost my car at the super walmart and had only a light jacket. I think my hands were cold for 10 minutes after I got into the car.
