You can add that to a context menu item. At least in Linux (KDE), it is easy to add. I don't have a Windows machine around, but they say that Windows is easy to use.
I am an extremely happy Evoluent customer. The mouse is absolutely terrific, very comfortable and actually _more_ intuitive than a flat mouse once you get used to it. With the exception of my graphics designer, every single person in the office fell in love with my vertical mouse when I let them try it for a few days.
However, nobody is willing to pay $100 for the mouse, just like they are not willing to pay $70 for a mechanical keyboard. I think that people see cheap mice and keyboards for $10, so they feel cheated when they spend much more than that on peripheral equipment. The truth is that I'm a sucker as well. Even though I have an Evoluent at work I still use a flat mouse at home as the price of a second Evoluent is hard to justify to myself when I hardly use the mouse at all (Vimperator, Linux).
Damn the price, trust me, you want that mouse though. The discrete middle-mouse button is only the icing on the cake. Almost _everything_ on that mouse is absolutely terrific.
I can't see the hairs on real people 10 feet away (for normal arm hair), if I can see the hairs on someone's arm on TV, why are they zoomed in on someone's arm?
I suspect that the format might fit a certain popular film niche, in which seeing the actor's body hairs is in fact considered a desirable feature.
The problem with that solution is that now I've got _two_ instances of Windows to secure and maintain. Twice the RAM, two licences for Kasperski, twice the updates, twice the exposure to threats.
You make a good point. I can imagine three to five drones attacking, say, Times Square at New Years. I really cannot imagine that happening with mortars.
Even if the Times Squares drones are unarmed, just having them buzzing close to the people might scare the people into a stampede, with tens or even hundreds of casualties. The technology can be legally purchased for a few thousand dollars, today. And the perps would be almost impossible to find.
One fell right outside my house. My building and all the surrounding buildings took damage. Every vehicle on the street was destroyed. Luckily, the alarms sounded and everyone outside was in a shelter at the time (including myself and my family) so there were no human injuries..
I don't know how much they cost, but they don't look much more than oversized M203 shells from what I remember. I'm not referring to 'smart' shells, but rather a skilled operator and probably very fine manufacturing tolerances (which allow the repeatability). They were being aimed by kicking the tube a bit to the left, a small shove to the right:)
You are terribly out of date. I've seen guys hit a target a few hundred meters behind a hill with surprising accuracy. The first mortar misses, every one after that falls dead-on.
How to do it? I used to think, small rockets could be used. Miniaturized copies of the early SAMs, created by the long declassified designs — current generation of drones aren't really made for evading such a thing...
The problem with fighting $500 drones with $100,000 missiles is that your enemy can drain you financially very quickly. This is the same mistake that the IDF has made with the Iron Dome: the thing is so expensive that, barring loss of life, it would cost less to just repair whatever damage the Hamas missiles do rather than to shoot them down.
These things are going to become a major problem. If you have enough of them, you could outfit them with grapeshot and basically saturate an area. If they're cheap enough you could cover a really, really, really large area. Put lots of plastic explosive on them and you could do some serious damage to buildings and depots.
That is what mortars do, an they do it quite a bit cheaper.
But this should not be a surprise considering MS Word itself is unable to cope with big.doc files and will corrupt them at some time.
Forget about corrupting large.doc files in MS Word. MS Word will display incorrectly even simple.doc and.docx files that were created on machines with _different print drivers installed_. This is due to Word (and Powerpoint, but not Excel) being designed to create documents for printing, even if that is not their primary use case today (Powerpoint animations don't print very well).
If you want a document for others to _read_, use PDF. If you want a document for others to _edit_, use whatever they use.
This is a classic example of Convenience Sampling, a sampling method which chooses samples based on how easy they are to procure. Guess where the researches were located, that all their test subjects were students?
Actually, the blanket analogy is a good one. I'm writing this for you, Taco, as nobody else will be coming around here to read it!
Much of the Sun's energy that hits the Earth in all wavelengths is absorbed and reemitted as IR (because the energy goes into heating the surfaces). Atmospheric CO2 does not block these incoming wavelengths, it only blocks the IR. This is the crux of the problem, and this is why small changes in the amount of CO2 make for large changes in the amount of energy radiated away from Earth.
The problem with modern science is that we've passed the "intuitive to the layman" stage about 300 years ago. Modern discoveries such as climate modeling, statistics, orbital mechanics, quantum theories, and SR / GR are very non-intuitive to the layman.
"We have absolutely no idea how accurate that figure is."
Haha, kind of like how NASA threw out that "$500 Million" per launch number for SLS. I think even the best case scenarios put the program cost at over $40 Billion just to get the first 4 or so vehicles off the ground.
And considering that they only have 25 SSMEs, the SLS won't see much more than those 4 flights anyway.
If you are going that route, then you should know as well: img2txt: Show a small image in colour in a text console. asciiview: Show the image in fullscreen b/w in a text console.
I came to suggest Digikam. If it the absolute best free photo manager for any platform. It supports geo-tagged photos, a slew of editing functions in a dedicated editor, automatic camera download and renaming, tagging, blah blah blah.
I've got a Dell X51V from that era. The only thing that I've though about doing with it is using it as a touchscreen for a Raspberry Pie. You could probably write an HTML frontend to cmus or some other useful application. You would then just access the Pie using the device's built-in web browser (garbage) or Opera Mini 2.x (I still have a copy). This is easiest if the device supports wifi (like my Dell) and has a cradle to hold it while it is connected to power (like my Dell).
Same here. At first I was worried that the font subhinting would be confused due to it going from RGB left-to-right to RGB up-to-down. However, at least with Kubuntu Linux, there is absolutely no problem: subhinting works so well that I cannot tell the difference between the test on the vertical monitor from the text on the horizontal monitor.

I know I'm probably feeding the trolls here but...
In fact you are feeding the trolls. The original post that you replied to even had the word "troll" in the username.

So how do I configure my graphics designer's Windows box to look like a VM so that the malware won't run?

You do have a good point. I wonder how lopsided the drone / antidrone equation really is.

Actually, last year Hamas did fly a UAV into Israel. It was shot down by a Tamir missile but it did return video footage back to Hamas.

This is exactly the most insightful systemd comment I've seen yet.

Yes, those commands work in a text console.
