In a letter to the British Medical Journal, doctors wrote that people should not use mobile phones outdoors during thunderstorms because of the risk of being struck by lightning.
If you can't take that risk, you have to turn the media inside the drive into molten slag. There's no other way.
Ferric chloride (PCB etchant) or another corrosive liquid will do the trick, particularly on modern glass platter drives. Dissolve the thin magnetic coating on the platter, and good luck recovering the bits...
If you choose the 'Expert' installation option, you have the option of not installing the WGA update, Windows Update then asks if you'd like to turn off notification of that particular update.
That is, of course, what I did.
Me too, and while it doesn't ask me about that particular update, it does continue to bitch about now installing it:
Important
You've hidden important updates
You've asked us not to show you one or more high-priority updates but your computer might be at risk until they are installed. Restore them now
There's no way in hell I'm installing pre-release software from Microsoft, "critical" or otherwise.
Ask ICANN for a ".god" TLD. That way, fundamentalist Christians can have their "safe" Internet experience without having to avert their eyes from porn, evolution etc. on the rest of the Internet. And vice versa.
Flamebait?! You've got to be kidding me! Meta-moderate those moderators down "-1 Sourpuss".
I misremembered the quote slightly, but it's from a "lost" Monty Python skit, Wee-wee Winetasting:
M HOUNSLOW WEST: How about this, sir?
MR WEST RUISLIP FOR ICKENHAM: (TASTING ELABORATELY) Mmm... it's a slightly flinty breed... sharp and resolute, with a terse smokiness in the aftertaste... is it a Pouilly Fume... ?
M HOUNSLOW WEST: No, it's wee-wee.
If Nintendo are foolish enough to call it the "Wii", don't complain about the inevitable toilet humour. (It's a shitty job, but someone's got to do it...)
Try Visual SlickEdit. It has a Vi keybinding set built in.
And the obvious answer: gvim. I personally use the console version of vim because I don't need the GUI under Linux/Unix, but having gvim on Windows makes life easier when I have to deal with than OS.
As loss of radio contact was one of the factors the resulted in Jean Charles de Menezes being shot dead by police, radios that work in the Underground ("tube") as well as underground would be a good thing.
The mountain lost 1313 ft in its 1980 eruption. The article mentions the rock is rising 4-5 ft per day, and is 300 ft tall. It has 1003 ft to go...... once the lava dome reaches the crater rim (the current summit.) The top of the dome is at 7155 ft so it has to grow 1209 ft to reach the rim, and 2213 ft (total) to reach the original summit height.
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone have any ideas for a good replacement?
Steve Ballmer?
Okay peasant, you've got your guns; why aren't you fighting back against DRM and the DMCA?
How is it even possible to use 11,000 different type faces??
This is probably BSA/**IA maths; for example, 11 fonts x 10 computers x 100 documents = 11,000 fonts.

Nice one, God - smite the loud-mouthed bastards.
Australia had the "Party Party Party Party" about ten years ago, but I think they only ran once.
If you find a good spellchecker, let the Slashdot editors know... (Manual Writing Tools.)
A smoking hole in Lindon, Utah? Once IBM's lawyers have finished with them, I can believe that.

Following the naming convention of the "Peking Man", is this one going to be "Peking Duck"?
No, because as the Latin name states, it came from Yumen, not Peking.
"FairPlay"? "Plays4Sure"? "Digital Rights Management"? I see a pattern emerging here...
To paraphrase Sir Humphrey Appleby of Yes Minister:
Many Boffins died for this post...
It's definitely native.
Only native x86. I don't see any native amd64/x86-64, sparc etc. versions.
NASA's World Wind offers some hope for non-x86 platforms, but it's a way off yet.
That is, of course, what I did.

Obligatory photo.
Given that there are seven questions total, maybe you know the mystery surrounding the elusive eighth question: "What is seven minus one?"
Forty-two?
For instance, British appear to be tit men ...
That's because there are lots of birdwatchers in Britain.
For example, check out this pair of great tits.

No, that's just wii wii.

I think they had this meaning of "rice" in mind. Fancy displays, poor resolution.

There were four, deliberate typos according to this article; the actual decoded message read: "Smithy Code: Jadkie Fisthr- who are bou? Dreadqought".
