A guy down the block is building the Mother of All Sex Gadgets, using parts from a John Deere riding mower, a
Kenmore washing machine, and an army surplus duffle bag where he intends to store the ferrets.

I don't know if that qualifies as technology or pretty serious perversion,
but I thought I'd post about it anyway.

probably a little of both, dennis. write up an official press release for it and post it to the denialsville forum!

You're joking, right?

Has anyone seen the Olympics in high definition? If not, make sure that you do. The picture is unbelievable. Almost better than being there. Long live HDTV.

maybe "Famous Streetwalkers of St. Paul" isn't a good topic ?

if you go over to the pants central folders, or the bhorc folders, you can see they're cross-linked, ian.

Basically, chances are that few new folks will come to this technology discussion way down in here. Likewise, you all will be less likely to take part in technology discussions elsewhere on the site.

Just food for thought. I don't even know if we have a discussion here specifically called "technology," though I know we have some related ones. I'll quit my meddling now. ;)

Thanks for the head's up though...I just added a link to Jimi's folder from our Advances? area.

Hmmm...getting a little Advanced for me.

Question: We just got DSL after MONTHS of frustration. We have AOL. DSL is great but after about 2-10 clicks on links it seems to freeze up. Has anyone else had this prob?

do you have a cisco modem, some other manufacturer's external modem, or an internal one, muskwa?

Cut all your ties with AOL and your life will improve, even if the links problem remains.

Seriously though, ditch AOL and go from there. Odds are that they are the problem. And if they aren't, then they will be at sometime.

Mobile Phone Accessory

Just wanted to pass this on,

I don't know if you've heard, but starting March 1,2002 you will no longer
be able use a cell phone while driving unless you have a "hands free"
adapter. I went to Circuit City and they wanted $50 for a hands free adapter!!!

I've managed to get hold of some "off brand" units and was wondering if you
or anyone you know is interested. My friend tested these kits and found that they
are compatible with anymobile phone and one size fits all. I paid $5 each
for buying in quantity.

I'm selling them for $6. I tried them out on Ericsson, Motorola, & Nokia
phones and they worked perfectly.

Take a look and let me know if you want one. Also, forward this to
anyone you know who may want one.

A photo is attached (HERE).

Thanks,

Ian

Has anyone seen, or tried, the new cell phones that incorporate a full-function PDA?

I'm a fan of multi-use tools and gadgets that are just slickly designed.

And they don't have to be that high-tech, either.

For instance, I have before me right now a little angle-headed flashlight that comes with a spare bulb and assorted colored filters in the back cap.

It has a belt clip and a lanyard ring.

Waterproof.

I can't wait to submerge myself in my bathtub, in the dark,
just to see what my favorite tub toy looks like...green!

OK, qwest officially sucks, or....


the free ride is

over !

Yesterday my e-mail password was changed; today I get home and an ugly blue screen with error message is waiting for me. I try to connect, and my dial-up password is changed too.

No way...

I'm on free Juno now. Loads of pop-ups and that nasty toolbar. I'm thinking about familynet or whatever in New Brighton. Know anything about it?

Don't know a thing about it.

I'm switching to Visi.

I'll use dialup before I keep MSN DSL.

when are you making, the switch, jt?

I'm ready to switch to Visi dialup.

I gotta have Scribe call Qwest & MSN to cancel (They're both actually in her name).

Then I gotta re-establish my DSL with Visi (if even possible from what I hear).

I'm so mad at Qwest and MSN right now I may just switch to cable instead of DSL.

you may also want to call the ag's office about it. mike hatch isn't at all pleased about what the qwest/msn duo has done with this. i'm not sure if its begun yet or not, but there's allegedly an investigation from his office pending in the matter.

once msn "releases" your phone line, you'll be able to make the change over to vector. of course my attitude would be to call qwest's front-end dsl support and get a trouble ticket. then call up to level 2 support, where they can actually get something done. you may actually be able to override msn's "ownership" of the dsl portion of the line that way.

Runningchick and I are going to make the move to dsl or cable sometime later this year. Would appreciate any stories of horror or triumph about any providers.
