I used to work at a TV station and we never did anything to alter the sound of any of the programming or commercials.
This is our complaint exactly. We would very much like you to alter the sound of the programming or commercials to reduce the volume. If you did this, we might actually let the commercials play without muting the system.
I've found puzzles and word games to be a good way to learn useful data structures and algorithms. There's not a lot of complex UI stuff required for games like boggle or scrabble. Implementing a crossword puzzle generator can also be a fun and challenging.
Complaining about Apple will not hurt them, but withholding your funds from them sure as hell will.
Well, if the 40 people in the world who realize that they can install an os that didn't come on their computer and think that OS X is worth installing withhold their funds then...
apple probably won't notice.
but if all 40 of them come here and complain, then apple will...
still probably not notice.
I'm annoyed. Geocities was a convenient place for me to dump files I needed to access from home or work.
The internet is not just something you dump something on. It's not a big truck.
Interesting, because according to the reviews on that newegg page those are a revision of the WGR614 that don't work with dd-wrt, openwrt, etc. IF your experience is different I'd love to find out details.
apple keeps ramping up the pointless restrictions and i keep looking for another smartphone with minimal moving parts -- no slidey shit, no foldy shit, and definitely no no no physical keypad. i won't buy a pre. it's got all the planned-failure mechanical parts that i bought an iphone to avoid, even if the OS is the most promising thing i've seen in a year.
the best candidate right now looks like the HTC magic/G2/mytouch/whatchamacallit, although it's still got that nasty trackball, and that disastrous headphone adapter thing, both of which will hopefully be gone by the android phone that's shipping next time i'm shopping for a phone.
i basically want something with a good browser, nice fonts (so, never a blackberry), passable email, a passable library of apps, and as few moving parts as possible. right now the iphone is the thing that comes closest to meeting those criteria, even though apple's restrictive behavior has been juvenile and borderline illegal.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
