Late to the party here, but...
Any entity with a Centrex system (which translates to anyone who buys such a system) can bypass any caller-ID blocking.
I got that straight from AT&T several years ago when my office's Centrex system always captured my home phone number when my wife called me despite the fact that we had caller-ID blocking activated.

I've had a 500 GB OWC/Newer MiniStack Quad interface external drive for about two years now; quite satisfied.
My Mac is connected to this drive via Firewire 800, and I use the MiniStack as a hub for a number of other peripherals.
I've had two additional 500 GB external drives (La Cie) daisychained to this MiniStack using the remaining Firewire 800 connection.
Lately one of the La Cie drive

As davester said, the electrics are not a problem any more.

Which is why you'll have to calculate in the cost of updating any electrics if this car still has the original stuff.

Have always wondered why the networks (not the dedicated sports networks like ESPN) broadcast ALL the Notre Dame games nationally every season regardless of whether the team is any good or not.
Most folks have no personal connection to Notre Dame, so if they're going to watch teams they have no connection to, I think they would rather watch ones which are having a successful season.

Is the bolt threaded all the way to the head or is there a shoulder (unthreaded area) as the one in the photo ?
If it is threaded there is a chance that you could get a snap ring, or a c-ring or on there.

We have one of those fancy (and enormously thick) mattresses with an memory foam layer built-in on top.
My wife thinks it's great, but we now have two ruts where we lay, one on either side, that don't (fully) go away even in the middle of the day. (I don't know if that's a "persistent memory" or a "faulty memory", foam-wise)
Anyway, in order to meet in the middl

... and the sequence suggests that it's our violent urges that drove us to tool-making and ultimately to modern civilization.
I seem to recall that the apes first used their knowledge to defend themselves against the big cat, not against each other.

Cable TV long ago jumped the shark by trying to rip everyone off. Just look around...the american model of a zillion channels of crap, accompanied by 20+ minutes of awful commercials per hour, and $80/mo cable bills is not viable in any other countries I'm aware of. Most of the world would never put up with the crap that americans do when it comes to TV content.

Obviously not better than free.
But unlike music which I want to own and enjoy again and again, I don't want to own the vast majority of TV shows that interest me; I just want to watch them once and move on.
Did they say if it was going to be 99ยข regardless of the length of the show?

I'm guessing it's from the sonar term "ping," which would make sense.
"Active sonar creates a pulse of sound, often called a "ping", and then listens for reflections (echo) of the pulse."

Who's gonna need a Mac?
I would NOT want to do publication layout on an iPad. I need my two big monitors for tool pallets and working documents.
I guess I'm saying people who make their living with high-end Macs will not be getting rid of them (or something like them.)
We can't assume that high-end Macs will stagnate while portable devices eclipse them.

I agree that the metric system is, overall, a better system, but it does have some weaknesses.
One can divide a foot evenly, in inches, into halves, thirds, quarters, sixths, eighths and twelfths. Extremely handy for quick, rough work.
Metrics go to two decimals for anything smaller than a half, and go infinite for divisions into thirds, sixths and twelfths.
In temperature, metrics (Celsi

IMHO, Consumer Reports is worse than useless. Their concept is "Let's take a bunch of random people who know squat about the product and see how they rate it." They assume just because someone has used the product means they understand how to use the product, how it should work, what doesn't work right, what should be better about it...

I'd be willing to bet those "ads" from the 80s weren't actual, conventional TV commercials. Look at their length.
Anything over a minute wouldn't have seem much air time; at least not enough for most folks to have seen them.
And that one with Lorne Greene in the 60s is over 5 minutes long. That's a short promotional film, not a TV commercial.

Hand-in-hand with the unwanted tight cropping is the "artisticly" angled shots.
If you need to straighten them out you're stuck with missing corners and edges.

I thought one of the auto aficionados might mention this earlier, but I saw a Corvette commercial on broadcast TV a little over a week ago.
I can't remember ever seeing an exclusively Corvette ad on TV.
I assumed they were so desired by so many that there was never a need to advertise on TV.

Here's one for you--
On a bicycle, men tend to lead with the right leg, and when they want to get out of the saddle they put their weight through an extended left leg, and when they want to put one foot on the ground they tend to choose the left.
For women, it's the opposite.
Sounds like an old wives' tale to me.
Go any valid sources for that statement?
