  1. For long lasting prints... on Inkjet Photo Print Longevity Lacking · · Score: 1

    Just print the color seps onto slabs of granite, laser etch them in about 1/2" and then run film positives off of them ever 100 years or so.

    And here I haven't taken a 15 minute break since April. 2006. Man, I gotta' change my priorities.

    ...word processing is mission critical. That's the lack of quality freeware I was talking about.

    OS X comes with Emacs. And vi, for those weirdos out there. It even has Pico. What more do you need?

    I also prefer a bolt action Enfield; the M1917, in .30-06. So far, they're cheaper than a Springfield or Garand (other fav rifle).

    It's bad enough that he leaves his stoopid comic tracts everywhere but now he doesn't want us to play video games? Can't this guy get a life that's a bit less annoying to me?

    Would be difficult to not be more clever than us. Hell, only now is the Military is considering orbital solar energy production and this idea's been around at least since the 60's. Had to wait until our back's against the wall before they'll consider something new.

  18. Re:Promote legislation to expire screening data .. on How Far Should a Job Screening Go? · · Score: 1

    Oh certainly, that's what's done. Hell, even the small college I worked at had a document control system like that. Was just replying to poster saying Feds scanners directly to capture fingerprint data. After a stint in the military and various governmental related jobs, they have me patterned down to my underwear size.

    If someone did get hold of my prints, for ID theft and committed a crime, would be no problem on my part to show it wasn't me. Have Good Egg stamped right on my file folder.

    A buddy of mine is a county sheriff (taught me to shoot, advised me to get CCW). He was in the office when I came in for my prints. Had mid-back length hair, but shaved on the sides, like a wide mohawk, moccasin boots, ripped up jeans and a greasy jacket on. Oh yeah, people in the waiting room acted like I was part of group W. Wished I wasn't facing away from them, getting the prints done when he started talking about the next step in getting my CCW. Had to be some open eyes on that one.

    'Course that also falls under the first 90 days thing. Most employment lawyers won't touch someone who's been let go within 90 days.

    And as someone who's worked in various government agencies for the last 20 years, subjected to drug tests and security checks, yeah, it's a choice I made. Know some people growing some righteous stuff but just have to pass it by until I retire.
