*recalls my 486 duct taped together running FreeBSD 4x.. make buildworld only took 4 days lol* ubuntu is great, it's made linux become so easy anyone can use it as their O/S.

Hey, BP, yes that's exactly what I mean! I definitely am able to still recognize and appreciate music still, something like the Star Wars theme still sounds great to me! I think when I get my second CI activated, hearing in stereo will make all that more of a difference :)

Canada has done just that.. Packs went up from $5.xx to $10-$12, all taxes. nothing new, just a happier government and poorer citizens

gmail has backups upon backups with geo redirection. if you see it down, it is more than likely an isp route issue on your end. this is google after all :p

CI won't be anything like a hearing aid, no where near the same in sound quality when it comes from music if you're already used to hearing music through hearing aids, think of this as music with too much tone and not enough bass imo. that said, if you are deaf it is way better than nothing!

awesome, my 2nd activation is next week!

wow that's good to hear, nice to see a positive ending to this one.

will do!

haven't been following dr who lately, but i like torchwood

just walk away from this windows madness and grab yourself a macbook pro.

I too lost my hearing suddenly a year ago, now everyone assumes I'm ignoring them and listening to an iPod or something as I currently have one Neptune CI with a white cover and white cord that looks similar to the iPod/iPhone earbuds! When I tell them I'm deaf the reaction is always shock but...

Illustrator can be complex at first but you'll get the hang of it quickly. As others said, it's best to watch a video or follow a tutorial as there are several steps to do. You could also design the site in PSD and slice n dice that into css/html too!

there's always got to be at least one country threatening to blow everyone up! :p

watching the middle, modern family, and survivor. wed's eve makes me a tv whore :) i'd blame winter hibernation for your 3 inches but I see you're in florida and have no idea if there is any snow/winter there!

i've had my second iphone stolen from me on the street. I was walking from the train and two guys literally jumped me, ripped the phone out of my hands, cut up my arm, and took off. hopefully karma will follow up with those douches. I had no CI at the time and was completely deaf which did not...

I'm told I'll be getting it this summer, exciting hey! Keep us posted on when you get yours :) My AB rep mentioned that I should expect up to a 55% improvement in hearing in noisy environments with the new UltraZoom Phonak tech.

it took me about a week to go back to work last time, and they advised two weeks of no heavy physical activity. if there's any work you can do from home that would be ideal. i was able to use the computer and get some work done after the first couple days. it's not too bad, and if you could...

if you're happy with your nucleus, stick with it and get another. that way you can swap cords and accessories too. since the nucleus 6 is coming out so soon you may get a free upgrade to that even if you did get the 5 right away. if you're looking to try something different, AB's newNaida...

no, that's one plus of being deaf - a quiet sleep! ironically, since becoming deaf I do find myself more sensitive to light. so if someone comes in the room / opens the door I'm usually aware and notice the light increase.

Hey all, well I just got my left (second) ear done with Advanced Bionic's, lined up for the Naida cochlear implant processor! Still in a lot of pain right now, getting some tinnitus, pain and dizzyness issues, but each day is getting better. Can't wait for activation, should be interesting to...
