That lurking moisture is why pure alcohol is so important. Alcohol will not dry water but it will sneak about and displace water so that a fan can dry the parts out. Simply repeat the dunking in alcohol a couple of times and the blowing out with a fan. You can ask your local pharmacist for pure alcohol and explain why you need it.
I used to use under water metal detectors and those critters are known to flood now and then. In salt water time is an even greater factor but usually those circuits could be saved by a quick flushing with fresh water followed by drowning them in pure alcohol and blowing them out.
Alcohol is frequently used to wash electronics that have had a plunge in water but this fellow will have far worse problems due to the time factor.For example the slots that all his cards plug in to as well as the ram and cpu receiver on his computers will surely be corroded. I have serious doubts about this gear being restored to working order.
If you have a computer club in your area or have a large number of friends you can surely get an old, but working 486 or early Pentium PC for free. That would kick the expense down to zero.
It is funny when one takes a really old scrolling DOS text and tries to run it on a modern PC. You can't slow it down enough to read it. Even back in 486 days we had "turbo mode" which slowed down older programs enough to actually use them.
There was a time when I solved algebraic equations while asleep. More frightening yet was that I usually solved two simultaniously. I'm not joking.
But the article neglects to mention that many of us spent our early childhood in an era in which TV did not exist. So how about those of us who only could see TV after the age of six?
Obviously people will want to claim that they are not influenced by silly and trivial things while operating in a business capacity. But the sad fact is that people do tend to buy for irrational reasons and they also do not buy for irrational reasons. There are all kinds of ethnic and almost spiritual locks between people. When I worked in sales I often new I had a big order as soon as hellos were exchanged with a potential buyer. Often sales have nothing to do with the price or quality of a product. To stay alive companies need to use whatever edge they stumble upon that is not immoral or illegal to push sales.
The one good point with McCain is that we are in zero danger of him having extra marital sex. There isn't a female alive who would sleep with that old fool.
But the simple truth is I would not vote for any Republican under any circumstances. I have suffered enough from their idiotic policies and I am sick to death of the rampant corruption within the republican party. And this sewage with Bush allowing torture of POWs is enough to almost turn me into a radical, militant activist.
After we find a prevention for Alzheimer's we can then argue about what social model to use in getting it to the people. Should the individual pay or the government? After all, how much money will the government save for each case of Alzheimer's which is prevented? If the government benefits should not the government pay?
It has come to the point in America that many people are in some form of rebellion. Copyright issues are but a small edge of the issues that surround us. But as things now stand in the social justice arena piracy of intellectual property is not something I'm willing to get all excited about.Perhaps when our lazy government gets off of its backside and does something about the exploitation of our citizens by outrageous fuel and power prices and mortgages designed by Satan then i'll worry about whether somebody hummed a tune he heard on the radio without permission of a record company.
Teaching youngsters is a lot easier if they can see good results within one or two days. Any tiny program that they could write and actually see function within two or three class days might get them hooked on learning more.
Also kids like to compete. It raises interest in those that are reachable. Having a bit of a contest as to which kids program runs best may help inspire them.
Have you tried some of the new nano tube glues? They are expensive and you had better need the entire bottle as it turns into a rock upon being opened no matter how hard you try to seal the tube. In other words it is not only how well a glue sticks but how easy it is to use. I recently tried another high tech glue which sort of bubbles and oozes out of a joint even when applied lightly. It makes a yellow stain wherever it touches. It is useless.
It seems to me that FaceBook would be out of the loop. If there is a privacy violation it is his friends that do it and not the company hosting the electronic meeting place. Suing your friends would not make you popular.
But the greats in this world have consistently avoided the mire of social relationships. Perhaps being somewhat of a social outcast is a requirement of great success. The time wasted on relationships can be used to write the next breakthrough program etc..
Sadly the law has become so unreasonable and contorted that many people pick and choose which laws they recognize or obey. Somewhere we need some sort of rule that disallows "nonsense" in the laws and their enforcement. It is not just in property rights cases either. For example the right to bear arms is explicit. The laws of the land wish to convert the issue to ownership rather than carrying or "bearing" arms. Underneath that is the normal conclusion that people have the right to shoot as the situation demands. Obviously the founders did not intend rifles and pistols to be items of jewelry that can not be used when one is confronted by an evil doer.
I have an instinct to dislike this false search however I am almost at the point of wanting random searches for all people. Our courts have failed to render severe enough punishments to keep people from driving around with illegal drugs etc.. We need something spooky enough to slap people back into more normal modes of living. We should not have to fear driving or walking into any neighborhood at any hour of the day or night.
You are parroting what you have been taught to believe.Democrats do not believe in self sufficiency less than Republicans. What we do believe is that some people are truly unable to take care of themselves and we have a deep moral obligation to care for them as if they were our favorite family member.
The free market is a myth. We have always worked in regulated markets. I don't know a thing about California wage laws but federal wage and hour laws might kick in despite whatever California may do. Further, in my state any lowering of wages is equal to dismissal and qualifies the person to unemployment benefits. I'll bet California has a similar law.
At what age do you think that one error and you are out ought to start taking place? After all, life is demanding. If we demand excellence we may get it. If we lower expectations we surely will get what we have created.
Right now people are being pressured more than ever before as various jobs are eliminated by technology. We are not far from the replacement of many technical workers at this time. It will only get worse. People with normal abilities will soon be of zero economic value. To a great degree that is what we have been seeing in America since about 1950. We used to see people with a minimal high school education live really well. That has vanished. Now we are seeing college graduates who have no place in the work place. Meanwhile technical jobs such as TV repair have fallen as TV sets became reliable and inexpensive enough to discard if repair is needed. And we don't even want to talk about typewriter repair. One by one entire trades are vanishing. For example every trades person used to need a girl in the office to take messages etc.. Cell phones eliminated millions of office jobs.
You are right. It is an awful policy. For example high school is meant to be the High School in the German context. That is a person of above average intelligence who has no issues such as health or a poor home environment, who is diligent and dedicated to his education should have a bitter struggle to graduate. Students with problems of any type were generally sent out of the system to trade schools after the sixth grade.
That driver's license number is a critical chunk of data. This week someone tried to get instant credit at Home Depot using my data. One thing they got wrong was my driver's license number. Home Depot was smart enough to call me. The way it works is that they don't care where the card is mailed. They simply want instant credit so that they can walk out of the store with an expensive item that they can quickly sell.
I went to the local sheriff's office and filed a complaint but since the instant credit attempt came in by email they feel there is little chance of making an arrest. But they did warn me about one thing. Debit cards are a ticket to hell. Unlike charge cards debit cards do not protect the user if stolen or lost. The bad guys can suck an account dry with ease and many banks auto transfer money from other accounts if the card goes too far in the red. So that small bill payer account can be used to suck out your entire retirement account and leave you with zero redress.
I've been in some pretty bad work places. To me the shock is that many more disgruntled employees don't walk in with guns blazing. Frankly we need more regulation to protect employees from abuse. People are forced to work and often don't have the luxury of telling the boss to stuff it. In some cases I would not even find a person guilty because i know just how rotten some employers can be.
There is no way they should be allowed to cut anyone off or ban anyone for a year. In some areas they are a monopoly. And they advertised high speed internet service and have never, at any time, provided true high speed service. It's time for them to spend some time in prison which in my case would mean that they would follow the former owner of local cable service named Adelphia. It's time to cut the nonsense and have a real, legal, definition of high speed internet service and require Comcast to provide it or get out of town, country, universe, etc..
The ICC is a good net chess club at about $30. per year. There is room for another. That would be more than true if you can create software to spot people who cheat by using PCs to find their moves before posting them. By the way the ICC model may be the best on the net.

Simply issue the product from a nation that allows it to be sold. Then advertise it everywhere in the world and sell it over the net.

Put it on the torrents. Make sure that everyone has the software for eons to come. Power to the people!
