They've solved this by simply sending the people back to India and outsourcing their old jobs to them. Costs less than half as much, and you don't have to work around the immigration crap.

Win-L does not work on Windows XP Home by default. This was a major issue when I was working on The Sims Deluxe Edition.

Which reminds me that I'd like to see, "A Day Without a Mexican" -- even if it is utterly tongue-in-cheek.

I know people who work at Adobe.

Have you looked into Photoshop Album? It does basic stuff. Since I get my Adobe software for cheap or free (legally), I use Photoshop for even the most mundane graphic editing tasks.

...And $3 a litre gasoline!

Am I missing something? Why the f' did they test a 75GXP against two Raptors? Were no 60GXPs available?

Sure, I *can* leave the media in the camera and hook up its USB cable; but that runs down the camera's batteries, is a bit ackward, and is a bit unwieldy when trying to read the photos in from four cards after you vacation. It's also nice to have a reader for media that I don't immediately own.

Maybe if you hired citizens of the United States instead of migrant non-citizen workers (legal or otherwise), you wouldn't have these issues.

What exactly do you want to do with the photos?

Nope. Virtually all DVD players support hardware acceleration with ATi cards -- or anyone else's, for that matter. As I recall MPEG decode is now part of DirectX, making it extremely accessible.

Since it'll rarely be in use, I don't see this as much of an issue. If I use it on the desktop, there might be some trouble, but only temporarily so.

I presume that this is a function of the computer and not the device...

Well, my ATi cards have had something since Rage IIc. Performance has improved since then, but I can't say that quality is really any different; it's just as good as ever.

So, the new laptop doesn't come with a floppy drive, which isn't a big deal. However, I know that, sooner or later, I will want to use one; so, I have been looking at USB drives. I was also looking at getting a device to read the SmartMedia cards from my digital camera. It was pointed out to...

Isn't hardware-assisted decoding of DVDs a pretty standard feature these days?

About damn time.

If we're talking US$, yes, it would be nice to get it out of my drawer....

Something wrong with using your favourite browser?

Are Normans a modern issue? They're British anyway...

I'd like to point out that France is, in fact, Britain's fault. If England hadn't spent hundreds of years trying to conquer the country, the power of the king would not have been consolidated nearly so quickly. Trust me. All modern issues can be linked to Britain. It's kind of like a nasty...

That'a bit of wishful thinking. I can't manage to sell my two-year old 15k.3 for $100 -- less than half of what I paid for it.

I'd just like to point out that Canada is *also* Britain's fault. I think that everyone can see where everything here is going.

If you want a high-tech doorstop, I'd say that it might be a good choice. I wouldn't use a Western Digital drive to wipe my nose, even if it didn't hurt to so do. Your drive is a bit old, but lots of things can make a system seem "pokey."

He's implying that the Central African Republic would invade Belize to protect its interests.

I think that a French spelling bee would be far more challenging -- with all of those letters that aren't pronounced, and all.

These are Britain's fault. Therefore, it is ultimately only the British to blame.

Those aren't kids, Merc.

Liar! Look what you've typed!

I blame the British. So many other things that are wrong today can be traced to them, this must be their fault, as well.

I'm far more impressed by the kids in the National Geography Bee.

Sold to Merc... if he replies to his messages....

Yes, but wireless runs in the "do whatever the fuck you want" bands. There are limitations on power, but not on what you do or how you use it.

My impression is that the FCC frowns upon such things.

And they would have laughed at him!

You should have gone with the printer message....

Run back to your previous restore point. I'd guess that some of that spyware may have had its grubby mits a lot furthur into your OS than you'd like.

It has a PS/2 port and a USB port. The USB port definitely works; I'll have to check the PS/2....

After a brief sidetrip to Louisville via Anchorage, the T51 came in today. So the old 3800 will be getting wiped and sold. It has a Celeron 500 and 128MB of RAM; comes with Win98. Except for a busted pointer button a dead battery it actually works (maybe the motherboard replacement last year...

Turns out that I don't trust in god....

Good writing is generally a developed skill. You have to practice to get it, and practice to keep it up.

I'd like to mention to the geographically challenged that Kansas City, as most people know it, is in the State of Missery. Kansas has its own Kansas City, which, I suppose is a fun place to drive through, on your way to the real Kansas City.

This is easy: Print up a page on one of his printers asking him to clean-up his wireless emissions. Use the largest font that will fit on one page. Print it once a day until he fixes everything. Keep it anonymous.

HA! I have no job, and, therefore, never work!

As long as you're not trying to show off your writting skills, it's alright.

When will you be available?

Do people have any trouble getting radio signals on the interrior of the building?

See what I mean about people in the Old Northwest?

Presumably, shows are where vendors hock their wares and other people set up interesting stuff to look at. Conventions are where people of like interests get together to meet eachother and listen to speakers. I'd also say that conventioneers tend be more fanatical than show attendees.

I'd guess that the walls are metal lathe with plaster, plaster on block, or just solid cement. Any ideas about floors/ceilings?
