Most people have little control of where the info gets cached on the system. You can *think* that it's only on the flash drive, but somehow an app sticks it into swap or a file in a temp folder.
The Las Vegas strip will suck no matter what is done with it. The only good thing that could happen there would be for it to return to being habitat for desert tortoises.
They can't build wind farms in populated areas. The constant spray of chopped up bird carcasses is a health hazard.
Probably what should be done is a place like Cape Cod should be declared a 'sacrifice area' and all buildings should be vacated and leveled, and wind farms built on it.
I live out along a country highway, but unfortunately a near neighbor has a big bright lamp on the front of their garage that glares all across our back yard. I could walk out into our field to get away from it, but I also have a bb gun and sometimes it's tempting to turn that light off the country way.
All the hassles that I experience at the Radio Shack are before I make the purchase. Today I walked in to buy one specific electronic part and the salesperson chased after me to kinda make sure I had NO DIFFICULTY finding whatever it was I needed. It's a very annoying thing.
It's been quite awhile since I got hassled for name/address at a RatShack.
We can't collar the only cat we have that goes outside, because she's a tree climber. We can't afford the risk of her getting hung up in a tree, even with one of the 'break away' safety collars. She's not 'chipped' but we have been considering it. This news will cause us to consider more carefully.
The only scenario where it could not happen is if Islam curls up and dies before it mobilizes itself massively for war.
Another interpretation could be that Islam as it presently stands (at least 'political Islam' and those who use it) is backwards facing. There's no real way that they can 'wage war' against modern societies in an effective fashion without an infusion of cash and resources from said modern societies. The 'improvised roadside devices' are as technologically advanced as those folks can get, and even those bombs are fabricated from materials that have to be imported in from 'the modern' and/or fabricated from cast-off or surplus munitions which again are from 'the modern.'
The loud and rather destructive impact of modern 'Radical Islam' comes out of the fact that those folks have soaked up a huge amount of oil money. There were angry xenophobic people in that part of the world 100 years ago who would curse at the 'modern' outsiders, but they were mired in the backwardness inherent in their culture.
Cut off their oil money and let their culture settle down. It will happen. The 'energy model' we presently live under has to subside and be replaced. And it will, long before a bunch of angry zealots can rein over the world.
It's called adventurism. Young people are angry because they are finally adults, and yet they feel like they don't have much power to affect the world around them. Occasionally, said young people band together, or are recruited by slightly older people and they take action to correct what they perceive as being wrong about the world.
This sometimes results in noisy dramatic demonstrations and protests. It helps if the young people are growing up in a time when there are actual injustices in the world happening. Particularly if simplistic explanations of why said injustices are happening can be spun up, so that parody opponents and straw men can be concocted to shake a fist at.
It gives people a sense of purpose, and a feeling of belonging to belong to social movements engaged in 'fixing' the world. The world is a big sometimes alienating place. People want to feel they can have an impact.
In truth, speaking from experience, the slogan from the sixties should read "Don't trust anybody slightly older than you" instead of the original 'over thirty.' Those 'political organizers' on campus are the people who flunked out and/or dropped out. They need a new crop of freshmen every year to recruit new blood from.
The Wizards at Apple probably rewrote it in Objective C. It probably has a GUI help subsystem, if you type 'yes --help' at the prompt.
Is that where they reassigned all the bozos who worked on Rhapsody and Pink when they gave up and bought in NeXTStep? (you know: all those people who were always in the photos and interviews when all the 'how wunnerful it is to work at Apple' writeups were being made)
Well, just the system for PC-DOS 3.3 fits on a 360K floppy with-space-for-apps. If you want the full distribution of DOS binaries (what you'd copy to the c:\dos directory on a winchester drive,) it all fits on a 720K disk or two 360K disks.
PC-DOS 1.0 all fit on a single sided (180K) floppy.
The enemy of your enemy is usually also your enemy too.
And if you don't believe that, then we should get a group together to play Risk. For money.
Sounds good. You come on over and we'll play Risk. You, me, and a friend of mine will be playing. (The two of us will split your part of the money after you've lost)
Maybe Steve Jobs will sell you a sticker for $200 that says 'I paid an extra $200 for this sticker to put it on my iPhone' for you to show off to your friends.
But look at it like this: if you had just $100, and had to choose between saving one life by putting an expensive airbag into 1 car, or saving 3 lives by putting cheap-o seatbelts into 10 cars, which would you choose?
Yeah, but we're 'The Government' so it isn't our $100. Instead, we mandate that $400 be spent. The car buyers pay the extra $300, and we get to put 'vigilant about automobile safety' on our political brochures. We're re-elected.
Always remember it's not a zero-sum situation when politicians get involved. It is always best to add more money, especially if your opponent can't accuse you of 'raising taxes.'
How in the world in this day and age can a president blatantly violate the constitution and remain completely unchallenged?
Hmmm, I dunno. Seems like there are a whole BUNCH of people challenging him, even probably more than half of the people participating in this discussion. And this is even a discussion which challenges him, and near as I can tell isn't being censored.
(I'm not making this comment to say all is just swell, just to point out the ridiculous contradiction all the noisy people make when they assert that there isn't any noise being made about the issue)
That's funny, because I have memories of reading about all kinds of Catholic kids being required to learn to read, write, and speak Latin. Was the plan that they were all going to be forced to become priests, to 'keep the secret' from the regular Catholics?

I know what you anti-nuke people are gonna say, but Vermont is NOT 1980s Ukraine.
It sounds like they're working on it, though.

Of the 11 cats we own, only one is 'chipped.'
And he is deaf!!!
(he was born deaf, though. It's a fairly common condition for genetically all-white cats)
You live in a cartoon world, where you have parody opponents. The way you push around them evil 'neocons' in your playpen makes it obvious.

Isn't it written in one of the new Microsoft proprietary 'frameworks'? .net or whatever the abomination is called now...
Yes, but newer versions of Acrobat Reader spam you with flashing graphics on the menu bar, just like any other shovelware.
I hope you're not running all those insecure Windows binaries in emulation on your OpenBSD system...
The keygens for WinZip have been around for ages and ages. I've had the s/n for user 'none' memorized for nearly that long.
Ulp. Were you meaning to describe a smallish system with that cite?
I guess times have changed. I played Wolfenstein 3D on a 386 with 8M of RAM.

One of our adult cats weighs 3-1/2 pounds. (and she's actually the 'alpha')

It is only partially accurate to describe Apple customers as victims of Stockholm Syndrome.
