Sectera, windows based, ie, give me a break, viruses, worms and trojans will be the norm. Obviously they are on the MS bandwagon with secure communications and battle ships running the os, but if ie really can be shored up to be really secure, why is it not by default.
I say its just false security and more of that lobbying in action, yea buy our $3500 sectera even though its really not all that secure instead of getting a cheap blackberry and adding security to it and we will pad your pocket.
Just go to radio shack and buy the heat sink compound (Cat. No.: 276-1372, it will be over where the transistors and the like are) and comes in a small tube, its the white paste stuff and is pretty good unless your overclocking drastically and need some special stuff like artic silver, much better than the thermal crap that comes on heatsinks.

I think its because the 121.5 cause too many false positives (football stadium scoreboards, etc). So now they are gonna just have the ability to be monitored by planes and boats in the area, so if you file a flight plan its not a big issue cause they have a general idea of where to look and can listen for the older beacon.
My bad, I guess I should have RTFA.:) At any rate its good that verizon is gonna get her online, and open office should do her just fine...unless hey online classes require internet explorer (which tends to be the case).
Verizon is one issue here, their tech support can and should support her connecting via any os, she should be suing them if anyone. Open office would suffice for the papers, someone should just help her out. Hey, did she try the geek squad (/me ducks). But really, pay a lawyer to sue people when she could just use the money to pay for someone to support her, shes just in it for the money, or she is incredibly lost. Thats the american way though, throw a bunch of money at a lawyer, rather than look for a solution to the problem.
Yep 16K was the stock, but you could use two 4bitx64K memory chips to replace the two 4bitx16K chips for like $15.00 back then, lift the highest address pin on them (to avoid a conflict with the rom/ram bank) and tie that to the bank switch with a short piece of wire at the proper pin (which the bank switch I think was in the same pio chip as the joystick/paddle control). So my 600XL had the same 64K memory as an 800XL...those were fun times. POKE and PEEK were definitely your friends...thanks and that stirred up memories of changing your video output page to the various memory pages, and I think stack and even to the video co-processor code list page and watching or changing values on the fly until it locked up...I found lots of hidden features and capabilities that way:).
I only remember the specifics of that cause that was my very first memory upgrade I ever did...and it was much for nerve racking and therefore more fun than today's upgrades. I also upgraded my 128K atari 130xe to a whopping 1M using a single 1Mx8 sim (or perhaps it was a sip...either way it was lots of soldering involved)...but you had to bank switch it in by 16K pages, much like ems memory on an ibm pc (and the upper 16K on an XL) so only third party dos's could take advantage of it. They did have some 3rd party dos that would allow you to switch between several virtual machines with all that ram, so it was very useful for that.
Oh your talking about the newer model stuff, like the ST line, you are the whippersnapper it seems:). Wait a minute, the A600 and A1000 are commodore amigas...not an atari at all...
Their search ability could be limited much like the limited credit searches of those who are wanting to provide you credit, ie they can't see the whole picture unless they are actually your provider or you have approved them to.
Can people with dementia donate their brain? I thought you had to be sound mentally to make such a decision.
If they can't donate their brain due to their mental state, can someone else do it for them? Or do they need
to donate when they are young and vibrant and maybe the scientist will get a good mix.
We unfortunately had Tandy TRS-80 (trash 80) model IIIs (and couple of model 1s) and I think we eventually got two model 4s in the early mid 80s, I got to play with some apple II/II Plus and a few IIIs I think during the computer camp at the local college I think it was in 82 (color and so much better graphics) but our high school was supplied by the local radio shack I guess. Right after computer camp I asked for a computer and got a 600XL for Christmas and that sucker still worked until I presented it to the landfill in 2003 or so.
I don't remember a straight 600 model, just 400 and 800 in the non XL/XE models. I had a 600XL (which I upgraded the ram in) then a 130XE (and someone gave me a defunct 800XL and several working peripherals), when I start missing them I go find an emulator and play awhile until the urge passes.
Provided we don't find a better way to dispose of those by then that just dumping them. Besides the new converter boxes are probably RoHS and not all that harmful.
Yea, and lets throw all those old TVs in the landfill...ignoring the fact that most have dangerous chemicals in them that will eventually make it to the water table.
Um yea thanks AC, The misspelling of Kool-Aid was actually intentional but I suspect yours was not, please note the correct spelling and hyphenation:).
Shitty hardware sounds like to me. I am just saying, bad memory, noisy motherboard, bad power supply voltage rails...could be any of those. I ran into lots of those kinds of problems when we used to sell to school systems too, they always take the lowest bid, so you have to use the cheap hardware brands to even come out even (you are hoping for after the fact service calls to make your money), so I do feel your pain. Has nothing to do with the discussion at hand though, the rest of us are talking about the OS, not about inconsistency in bottom of the barrel hardware.

The USAF will still monitor the 121.5 band, only the satellites will stop monitoring them.
Brendan Fraser, now that would have been truly scary.
well unless its pppoe or something like that, in which case a little more work is involved

No, I never owned a commodore vic-20, I did have a commodore 64 though I never used it. I used my ataris.

Sounds like a hackers dream, and a script kiddies nightmare
I just thought the "live" brand was stupid, I like it a little better now facing kumo as the new name.
AC, its against federal law to pay for human organs, or they probably would.
Can people with dementia donate their brain? I thought you had to be sound mentally to make such a decision. If they can't donate their brain due to their mental state, can someone else do it for them? Or do they need to donate when they are young and vibrant and maybe the scientist will get a good mix.
Or save it in your 25Gb live skydrive, oh wait that's not such a good idea

7 pass? You guys used to do 3, did you find that it could still be recovered at 3 passes? I hope 7 is really secure :)

Yea, and lets throw all those old TVs in the landfill...ignoring the fact that most have dangerous chemicals in them that will eventually make it to the water table.
And its not like the civilians help hide the terrorists and thus support their cause...oh wait
