I actually expected half a dozen responses by the night I thought more people than that used PDAs ...

aurora extreme - over 2k$- with 1 gig of ram only? sheesh, i have a gig in mine and i think i need a second so i never ever have to worry about memory with planetside

I checked the HP website and the entry-level model is out of my budget range (299$ yikes!)

I looked at 2 brands, Sony and Palm, and i have found my "ideal" model considering my budget. After comparing features, I am most interested in this model I'd like to know if anyone has something to say about the model quality, technical support / return policy, and anything (good or bad) i should be aware before buying.

I'm the only major in this forum

well the 1 dollar bill disappeared about .. erm .. 20, 30 years ago from canadian markets .. I think it was removed before i was born. I did see the canadian 2 dollar bills though, that's for sure

here in canada we have 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins .. the 2$ ones being ~10 years old at most. Some of the stuff that we heard about was to use plastic or laminated paper dollars like they do in Australia and the removal of the penny. Almost every year they are adding or reinforcing the security measures on paper dollars to fight the spread of fake money ..

quote:2 out of a thousand C-sections actually die from the procedure LIS. It is VERY low risk and a woman can have a vaginal birth after C-section, if her Doctor knows anything about the procedure. My wife had a C-section, I have seen more of my wife then I ever thought I should. The woman was in her twenties, was more then healthy enough to have the procedure. She told the nurse that she didn't want to get a scar LIS. I mean, COME ON, and then when she was finally convinced to do the procedure, because it was the ONLY way to save her other baby, it was too late for the 1st one. This woman CHOSE to have her baby die, with forethought and malice. It is murder, and she should be charged with it. I'll be damned, I actually agree with you. And i have to add my voice that mental illnesses and insanity pleas should not be acceptable for defense.

LOL!!!

While i would say my computers, i have to admit there's a slight sentimental value in my bike, which was given to me by a friend after I gave him a HUGE help when he was in deep poo.

Yeah but does the CEO and the board of directors/executives at the head office do it too?

A new reality show on TLC - Bosses of large companies a take step down to go and do what their employees do. The first show was about the CEO Of Loews hotels going to one of the hotels and doing some cooking, carrying luggages, doing room service, being at the front desk, housekeeping ... etc .. and realising that it's not as easy as it seems. http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/nowwhosb...owwhosboss.html http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/busin...nal/8137471.htm It's a fun show, much better than the so-called sensationalists Survivor, Average Joe, Forever Eden "reality shows".

A friend of mine got more than luck than her .. a few years ago his 800$ bike was stolen, and as we were riding along the road we came across a pawn shop with a bike rack in front, and there was HIS bike. He called the police, he checked the serial numbers and it really was his .. The guy was selling the bike for 150$ and my friend had to the pay the 50$ the shop owner paid to the thief. Then before leaving the shop owner said to my friend "If you see any other stolen items in my shop, make sure you tell me!"

It is with regret that I must announce my resignation from the Orion fleet, with no intentions - in the near future - to rejoin Orion or any other fleet. In the last few years I have played several games, similar or different to the Battlecruiser games, and found that Battlecruiser was not the kind of game I really liked. I bought BC3k 2.0 and enjoyed it much. I bought BCM and enjoyed it as well, but not as much. I bought BCMG too, but I barely played it. And while i bought UC (as my sig specs says it), I found other games more personally entertaining than UC. The Battlecruiser franchise has not evolved in the direction I hoped, and despite FC Miller asking me to stay even if for the roleplay element, I just don't see why I should stay with a group for a game I don't play. I remain hopeful for Battlecruiser Online, but as of now we only had blurbs of what it could be, but nothing that really tells me that the game is in the making. I always supported this community, and I will keep doing it. While we (me and the community) may have had disagreements in the past I always liked this sanctuary where i actually feel that the average IQ is greater than the average shoe size. When the time comes, I may ask to be re-instated in the fleet. But as of right now... I shall remain independent - and wait. Greg, keep up the good work Commander Epsilon 5, signing out.

very good article.

I ran a test for the 1 year thing, that's 60% of the log, here's the result http://stats.epsilon5.ath.cx/test12.html and a test with 6 months http://stats.epsilon5.ath.cx/test6.html the results are not very different since the month 6 to 12 were pretty dead. But in both of them some of the oldies of the chatroom (like me) almost completely disappear off the charts.

Alright, i updated the stuff, my bot connects directly to gamesurge, the stats webpage no longer require you click a link to see them and I changed the top logo from a bcm-bcg combo to a more appropriate BCMG-UC combo. I'm debating whether the log parser should only take in account chat since (let's say) 1 year from the update time. Currently it compiles everything since Sept. 10 2002 (really!). I got an option to set that stuff with MIRCstats. The stats are not affected by the server change.
