I had a drive like that, It was labeled as 64x. I believe. Nothing ever broke. What do you people do? Put in CDs that have been baked for 3 years sitting in the little visor in your car?
Check out the other reply to my post. Pretty UNunanimous.
Nobody calls a key a button, anyway. It was not a Mac button (or key). There were plenty of old IBM keyboards that had the key as well, with a diamond, or 4 diamonds in a larger diamond pattern. A double or hollow diamond logo appeared on what is now the context or "right click" key. We had jump keys and F1 through F22, not your sissy F12.
Sure, Macs had another modifier key in addition to control and option (alt). It was (and still is) called the command key, (colloquially "the apple key" or "the flower key"). Of course, the need for this key was mainly due to the single button mouse.
Modifier keys have gotten jumbled around, added, removed, and relocated, and repurposed so much that a key can really only be defined by a combination of it's scan code and it's function.
Since things can (and often need to be) be remapped, talking about scan codes make little sense once you've actually built the damned keyboard. It's all about how you use it. (And this, of course, depends on what environment / application you're in.)
It's NOT the meta key. The meta key is now, for all intents and purposes, the alt key. See other response from Linux zealot supernova_hq (1014429) calling it the super key.
It's because Linux nerds hate MS so much that they refuse to acknowledge the existence of a "Windows key", and they have yet to agree on a "free" (as in Linux nerds) name for it.
Also, Linux nerds use the old IBM 42H1292, which lack said key.
There's plenty of valid criticisms for my succinct post that you could be throwing together in this topic and you chose a messy, presumptuous, and insulting tantrum.
I know where it's from people. I never said it was from the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has ruled incorrectly in many cases. Amendments 9 & 10 reserve rights NOT specifically mentioned in the Constitution for people and states.
Keep in mind this does not mean a state has the right to further limit the rights of people (although it is obviously implemented as such).
It's called a natural language, and it's ambiguous, dipshit.
"Men" was, and still is, used to refer to the species as a whole. The word "Creator" was chosen SPECIFICALLY to avoid any tie-ins with any specific religion.
You may as well bitch that they said "equal" instead of "equally".
Amendments 9 and 10 would like to have a word with you.
The supreme court interprets laws, and often decides on their constitutionality. Whether that law happens to be within the constitution (contradicting with other language in the constitution) itself does not matter.
"Assholes" refers to the morons not properly funding NASA, as well as the morons allocating what funds there are toward any project that is not getting people to Mars.
No where did I call anyone at NASA an asshole. If there are people at NASA who could change things and don't, then yes, they're assholes.
You believe that the strings are pulled from where the money flows (and I agree). Those pulling the strings are the assholes.
The average GNU/Linux user is still running that P4 2.8 GHz machine. Luckily, it's the 800 FSB version with hyper threading, and they upped their RAM to 1 GB last year.
As I said, it's something to work toward to achieve.
It doesn't matter who the fuck wrote it, or what they did in their lives. It's an ideal, and a damned good one at that. If you can come up with an argument against the ideal that all people are equal and have rights that should NEVER be breached, by all means, go for it. (Note: bitching about "men" instead of people is asinine, as is bitching about "Creator".)
Any "perspective" you have on it is your own, and from what you said, you're coming from a pretty hateful (or is it just white guilt?) perspective.
It looks like you're the one throwing the tantrum.

Even if you could prove that the constitution sets children apart from adults in relation to your unalienable rights (you can't), you're left with the obvious problem of different states assigning different age restrictions for the same rights (some of which are certainly unalienable).
The constituion is right, the implementation is wrong. If you can find where the constitution contradicts itself, then you've got a point. If you can convince the supreme court or a constitutional convention that running for office is an unalienable right, then the constitution must be amended to correct the error.

Alt is meta.
Ctrl+Escape has been standard in Windows for a long time to open the start menu.
Ctrl+Shift+Escape has been standard in Windows for a long time to open the task manager.
Windows in fact has an ass ton of handy keyboard shortcuts most people don't know about.

My point is proven.
Where are all the fuckers who bitched about me when I said most people can't understand their beloved SI units for shit (let alone read in this case)?

1 shattered disc would destroy your drive.
Also, shitbusters covered (and busted) this.
You'd have to be using a CD you used as a puck in street hockey for there to be any chance of it shattering.
iTunes keeps opening for me.
I don't even have it installed.
That's what I always think of when I hear (read, etc.) "interceptor". That and how Australia is filled with really, really gay biker gangs.
Sun is not relevant.

It's an ideal.
The implementation and enforcement (then, as well as now) is broken, not the ideal.
