Not a Z80, but a 68000: I just retrieved the system I learned unix on, a Plexus. Have to fix some mouse-chewed cables and re-assemble it, but it should be fun. Came with the Rainbow 100 that was used as a terminal, too.
The shooting sports are not dangerous at all, considering injuries per participant, compared to most other sports. Hunting injuries do skew these results somewhat, but that's because most hunters are only occasional and casual shooters. Serious shooters are extremely safe.
A reasonable tester (not a certifier, but a good tester) is only about $1K or so. It's easy to make cables that pass 1 GB testing with basic hand tools. The problem is the time it takes, no matter how fast you are. For patch panels, especially, where you need hundreds of cables all basically the same length, just buy them.
We still test every cable before it goes in, even the store-bought ones.
I bought the books, I read the books. What more is an author looking for?
I also like long books, if they're long because of all the good writing in them. "The System of the World" is a great book, and it's several thousand pages long, in three volumes.
It's the ridiculously stupid characters that killed my interest in the series. How many times does someone have to do something without the slightest thought to the consequences before they get a sense of responsibility? Don't they realize that they're in the middle of an important battle between good and evil?
Woops, I re-joined this guy's severed powers, and I have no idea if he's the dragon or not.
Woops, I shot that unknown target with balefire.
Woops, I gave away an important secret by babbling stupidly (dozens of times).
Every single one of the main characters, and most of the secondary characters, were total idiots. I spent most of the time wondering if it could get worse, then marveling at how much worse it could get, then wishing they would all die.
The "product" has been around for YEARS (Note that they're on version 3. I guess the other two versions must have sold as well, or they'd be out of business by now.), and it works. All of my mouse-hand issues went away literally the *day* I started using it. I use a V2 at home, I have my old V1 at work, and my wife just bought a V2 for her work, because her wrist started to hurt by the end of the day. Her problems went away as well. I push it to everyone I know, because it works.
I don't know what your difficulty is with accepting the fact, but this *is* a real live working solution to a real problem, and it works just like they say on the website, arm position and everything. Not to mention that it's a quality mouse, in my experience.
Until you try it, and actually see how your hand and arm interact with the mouse, you have little accurate information to add to this discussion. Laying your arm on the desktop and pontificating about how you *think* it works isn't very helpful.
When using one, your thumb doesn't come close to "pointing straight up". (It doesn't when you shake someone's hand, either.)
Oh, wait, you've never used one, so you don't know what you're talking about. I get it. Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything, because obviously your un-informed opinion is far more important and accurate than all the years I've been using Evoluent sideways mice.
What a ridiculous comment. The effects of mouse use on the wrist is well-known. I can't use a standard mouse for more than about 10 minutes before my entire hand goes numb, but I can use my Evoluent 2 for hours on end.
I'd have to completely disagree with you. I have very large hands, bad RSI, and when I switched to the Vertical Mouse, my RSI problems went away, and I have no problems with the edge of my hand resting on the mousepad. (It does rest there, I just have no problem with it.) When the VM2 came out, I bought that for home, and took my model 1 to work.
Ah, so the point of the "game" is to have secret knowledge and lord it over those who don't? Is smirking in a superior manner, guaranteed to make someone else want to break your face, also required?
I *never* would have gotten this one without reading this post, and then it was immediately obvious.
I hate these things, and hate the way I get stuck on them. Even though I know I'll beat my head on the wall for hours, try a million different algorithms, and then go crawling back for clues, I still have to try every new one I see. And fail. Again.
Must be nice to work somewhere with showers. I
sweat like a pig when I exercise, no matter what
shape I'm in. I tried riding to work for a while (8 miles one way), but even I couldn't handle the reek.
>Of course. But I'd rather have to punish someone for stabbing me with a knife rather than shooting me with a AK-47. My chances of survival are much better with knives.
The only reason that statement is true is because you specified a rifle. Knives are extremely deadly, even compared to handguns. I'd much rather be shot with the average criminal handgun (.32) than stabbed with a 6" knife. (Actually, I'd much rather be able to legally defend myself with the best tool for the job.)

I have both an odyssey and one of those electromechanical pong games, both in working order.
They can fly to another continent, yes, but after they bomb it, there aren't going to be allowed to land there. They have to fly back, too.
I like watches, especially interestingly odd ones, and I have quite a few, but I've quite wearing one for the same reasons, I just don't need one.
Surprised the heck out of me.
The design he's standing under won't have anywhere near the tip speed of the major bird killers.
That's a totally normal weekend if you live anywhere rural or spread out at all. It's 20 miles to the nearest home depot-ish thing.
Yes. I've seen both.

Please, finish it, so that it goes away forever.

Try one. You'll see that you are incorrect. I find myself moving my Evoluent with my thumb and pinky more often than not.
I use my thumb and pinky to move my evoluent most of the time, actually. It's very easy to do, and very precise.
