But I pull it only half out of my pocket, hit the button, see if the text I got was from my kids or if there's an urgent issue requiring me to leave the theater to make a call, or go home/work. So maximum exposure time is less than 3 seconds, and any light would be directly to my left (so, the stairs, or my wife...), or reflected off my pants.
I actually still use Trillian, expressly for the continuous client functionality. As there is also the iPhone app, OS X, Windows, etc, not every IM service allows you to log in in multiple locations simultaneously, and allow you to start a conversation on a mobile device, continue on a Windows box, then finish it on a Mac, and have the IM logs and history available on each one. And since a lot of my friends, coworkers, etc, don't rely only on Facebook chat, and I occasionally will send something important to someone, or they to me via IM, being able to look at 1 unified history for that person, and not needing to look on system A, B and C to find the logs, is quite beneficial.
I've seen some other clients that will do similar things, though mainly on the mobile side only (IM+). Pidgin also does not have a released binary for OS X. You can use one of the ports (Fink/MacPorts), or compile from source (people here may not have issues with that, average desktop types will), or use Adium, which uses the core of pidgin, but, so far, the only decent, and frequently updated, all in one IM program with persistence over multiple clients is Trillian.
You can get cable modems at most big box stores, amazon, newegg, best buy, etc. Xoom, Motorola, and a few others. Work fine with Comcast, though you do have to call them so they can add the HFC MAC to your account. Now, the Moto ones WILL do routing, but only when the cable network is down (ie: it'll do DHCP on the 172 range, so that when the internet dies, if you're just using a switch, your LAN connects still work, but that really only counts if you're using a switch, and each system has an IP assigned from comcast, and not using another router for wifi, etc)
Yes, the use of wide scale EMP devices... only way to truly knock the botnets which are posting the spam offline. Since they're not people, breaking their fingers wont work. As is well known, trying to stop comment spam has been an ongoing research project for the population of the world who dislikes comment spam. If you can find a way to 100% stop comment spam, you'll be the hero to the internet connected world, and could probably make a few bucks giving speeches at universities...
I'm still kinda wondering how the clamshell case will support the iPad 4th gen.. which, to my knowledge, isnt for sale yet? Since.. Mini != 4th gen. Plus, does not appear the mini would fit in the clamshell, and there are no pictures of the mini in the clamshell, or any mention of an insert
Don't forget... Cocaine, Morphine, and Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) are only Schedule II... and Dilaudid is 10 times as strong as heroin (with heroin being 8x as strong as morphine).
Not going to read every reply, but, power drill with an extender, to use to tighten cabinet screws, as well as one of the bits used to drill out stripped screws, because invariably, you will get ones that will not want to come out, and get stripped, and cause all sorts of hell.
But, the datacenters I've worked in always had 3x long flat head 3x short/regular length flat heads 3x long phillips heads 3x short/regular length phillips heads Socket wrench set Allen wrench set 2x 18v cordless drills w/ the extender bit holder (with at least 1 spare battery each) 2x 18v flashlights (same battery pack as drill) Cable tester (we had a cheap one, and a Fluke, which was kept in a separate location from the provisioning room) Fiber tester (kept in same secure location as the Fluke CAT# / Coax tester) Digital Multimeter Spare cabinet nuts (M2) and screws Spare drive screws, since you will drop and lose them as you add/remove/swap drives. Tweezers/Forceps Spare thermal paste of choice Rubbing alcohol or acetate to remove old thermal paste Various length premade/known good CAT5E cables. Generally, for neatness, you should make your own, at a proper length to pull out a server on it's rails, open it, etc, without having to unplug everything, without having 10 extra feet of it coiled up blocking airflow.
Yes, some of these items will be pricey. But, in the long run, buying 10 cheap items that keep breaking will cost more than 1 good item that wont break.
Because diesel generators last up to 10 times longer than propane generators. In addition, they cost more to purchase, and cost about 3x as much to operate.
Oh, lets not forget the fact that diesel is a lot safer than propane or natural gas.
Me? Nothing. I generally taught others how to use their computers, or fixed the computers. My HS only had like 4 Macs, no computer teachers. They weren't even connected via Appletalk/Localtalk
Seriously? I've not seen a spring clip heatsink on any decent CPU released since the AMD K6-2. This is due to the weight of current heatsinks. Clipping them to the plastic resulted in the plastic tabs being stressed and coming undone. Granted, there are HSF units for servers which use the clip style (with motherboard vendor provided screw down to clip style adaptors), but as a 1U-4U server is generally kept horizontal, the full weight of the heatsink is not straining the plastic in the same way. As an example, 1 HSF unit I just looked which would work on an AMD Opteron Socket 1207 (older quad core) weighs 14 ounces.. nearly 1 pound. A 1mm thick plastic tab will deform under the strain of the thin, square edged metal clips.
And, my i5 CPU has the 4 pin pushdown plastic HSF, which results in rather thin plastic locking... My Opteron system has 2 screw down pins, to a metal reenforced plate on the back of the motherboard.
The issue I see is that newer VW TDIs (with the common rail system) is not designed to run on anything higher than B5 (95 Diesel/5 Bio). With my 2012 Jetta, if I use anything higher, they can void my warranty, and they are able to tell. Which sucks cause the station right near me that does Diesel does anywhere from B1 to B11, no notice as to what it is at that time. The problem here is the point in which biodiesel combusts, as compared to straight diesel. To be "clean burning", which VW Diesels are, they do a direct injection of diesel into the exhaust system to burn off the soot and other impurities that are/were common with diesel engines. Biodiesel doesnt ignite the same, leaving the impurities/soot, causing it to clog part of the exhaust system up, requiring expensive replacements.
This is to say, annoying, at the least. Now, I've heard of people having good luck with mod kits adding a second (heated) tank to use with filtered waste vegetable oil, with a cutover switch in the cabin. Start on diesel, switch over to WVO, then switch back later, but those were with pre-2010 VW Diesels.
Very much so. I hear crap like this every day, and only because it's the opposite of their beliefs.
Republican: My car broke down because of a bad tune up, it's because of Obama's (something) package! Democrat: "My AC unit stopped in a heatwave, because the AC repairman couldn't get a part! This is because Bush made the rest of the world angry, so they wont ship the part!
Muslim: It's all the Christians fault! Christians: It's all the Muslim's fault! China: Eh, everybody buys stuff we produced, we dont care.
Yes, and the smaller one is only 10 feet wide, 7 feet tall, and 9 feet deep... (well, there is a smaller one, about 5.5 feet wide, 2.2 feet deep, 6.5 feet high, but it's only 600x800). Oh yeah, and uses 10 kW of power... ( 3.7 kW for the 600x800 one...)
So yeah, they've been doing it for years... except really tailored for home use...
well, I can sorta see how this is good... for the registrar... just think of all the fangirls going to justinbeiber.tickets all day long to see if he's going to sing to them locally, or some crap.
I was always vaccinated as a kid, and I was abducted by a band of roving unicorns... so thats 100% factual! It can happen, folks.. please, prevent unicorn abduction!
Don't forget all the fake nerds out there... you know, the blonde cheerleaders who put on the fake glasses and say they're nerds cause they play XBox...
Most would consider that use impolite if you were shouting into the phone as if it were still an analog cellphone where you had to shout to be heard over the static... which is what the guy in the article was complaining about. People who dont use a cellphone at the same volume as they'd speak to a person next to them, but instead use a volume more suited to talking to someone across the Grand Canyon.
Well, a lof of doctors DO prescribe antibiotics during a viral infection to deal with/prevent secondary bacterial infections due to a reduced immune system caused by the viral infection.
Well, if they mean North American by "American", it's sorta true... since a fair number of TV shows are filmed on the continent of North America... generally in the country of Canada, in the city of Vancouver.
So yes, lets save those Canadian's from unemployment!
A comparison... though I wasnt to specific on that part, my bad.
It'd be like an article saying that round power plugs are better because they're used on a quadrillion devices, and the new fancy magnetic just hasnt caught on.
Yes, it's patented by Apple and thunderbolt isnt... but the main point stands, until recently, it was only on Apple hardware...

Don't diss the Aztek, yo! I still think they look neat, and sometimes I miss mine!

That should do just under 20A draw, if my maths are correct... A 20A circuit can handle it briefly... or just wire up 2 20As into a 20A 220:)

There are valid reasons to fight against piracy.
I agree... I hate it when my ship gets boarded by skallywags and they take all my stuff... and shoot at me too! It's very depressing.
