Probably a few did when it was originally a local bank in NY or wherever it started out. But you're right, the bank I signed up with 25 years ago has been absorbed Borg-style 3 times over, and now it's owned by the mega-corp BOA.
I was amazed to find that they have no branches at all anywhere in the entire state of Wisconsin! You'd think to qualify for "Bank of Fucking America" they would, you know, have to be everywhere in Fucking America?? I worked for the last 3 years in WI but lived in IL and was a bit of a pain in the ass not having any bank branches near where I worked.
Did you even read his entire post? He WANTS to do 1970's type EEPROMs or, actually, I suspect UV erasable EPROMs. All you people who responded "Use an Arduino!" or "Use a PIC" or whatever the hell you are recommending, completely missed the point - he wants an inexpensive, modern programmer that does OLD EPROMs or EEPROMs. Sheesh.
You're either going to find $80-$150 ones with 1 UV tube that will erase about 4-5 parts at at time, or $500 UVP ones that have timers and do 20 or more parts at a time. That's about it.
I'll second the Willem programmers; the software is free (public domain) and the boards are small, about 3x4 inches, and have sockets for FPGA, PLCC, DIP, etc. EPROMS or EEPROMS. They sell for around $100.00 last time I checked. I borrowed one from a buddy for about a year (good friend!) and liked it very much. I'm now in the market for a programmer myself and unless I find something better, I'm getting a Willem.
If you buy the right kind of life insurance, you can cash in or surrender the policy for most of the value you have paid into it. It's called "cash surrender value" and it increases as you make payments. If you cash in instead of die, the insurance company only pays back what you paid in (minus a penalty) but nowhere near the $100,000 or whatever they'd have to pay if you had died and then collected the whole amount you were insured for.
So, actually it is common for people who have no heirs or family to leave their estate to, to cash in life insurance policies. You can also borrow or get a loan against the CSV too if you need to. You have to pay it back plus interest, but it's a possible source of emergency money if you should REALLY need it quick.
Some policies don't accrue value (Term life policies don't, I think), but "regular" life insurance does, AFAIK.
I know, but FORKLIFT sounded so more dramatic:) and actually, it does have forks and lifts things. As far as weight goes, maybe the ones at Home Depot might weigh 60 lbs but the really heavy duty ones I've seen weigh well over 100 lbs. and the one in the picture was loaded too. That's not to mention the electric ones, just the batteries in them probably weigh as much as a regular jack.
I don't know if they have reduced the MRI magnet strength over the years but when I got one about 10 years ago they told me the strength was 3 Webers. Looking up a quick translate table, 1 Weber = 1 Tesla, so either the old ones were 10x more powerful than the ones today, or you're an order of magnitude off.
But yeah, letting one go within 20 feet of an MRI would suck it in so quick it might shoot out the other side, or maybe the field would be strong enough to just hold it once it sucked it in.
For more cool scenes of devastation check out the image where an MRI sucked in a FORKLIFT! No shit, one of those large pallet jacks you use to drive pallets around factories, must weigh 100-150 lbs and it had NO PROBLEM sucking that into the maw of it's magnet, destroying it thoroughly, of course. Image is here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question698.htm - check it out, if you ever had ANY doubt about the power and strength of an MRI magnet.
A drill press does not crush things unless you're using it wrong. A drill press makes holes in things. It sounds like you stuck the drive in a press, not a drill press. Hydraulic presses can put TONS of force on things, one year at the annual Dayton Hamfest, my buddy brought a 60-TON hydraulic press (about the size of a car jack) and we went around buying $2.00 old cell phones and crushing the shit out of them! A really flat cell phone looks hilarious, and makes a nice coaster. Of course, all the jokes were "gee that phone has flat audio", "can I get a flat rate plan?", etc.
Well, if you had read TFA, they say exactly the same shit on the HideMyAss website. They state they don't log data traffic at all and they only keep logs of when people connect in and out so they can "troubleshoot" any troublesome connections (like illegal activity, spamming or anything else they are ordered to keep track of, no doubt). The only variable is how long they keep them and how easily foreign governments (i.e. the US) can get the info. It sounds like PRQ is just more of the same to me.
Any "legitimate" VPN service is going to be subject to their local laws and very likely to the influence of US gov't interests as well. Not the best place to be doing "anonymous" stuff from, most definitely.
The interoperability referred to is whether the inhibit request is sent encrypted or in the clear, not whether or not it had authentication. If you have the wrong crypto type, you can just fall back into clear mode for "interoperability".
Yes, poster is right, most of the Eastern Bloc countries are toxic waste dumps now. In communist countries the gov controls everything that it gives a shit about. Unfortunately, what factories did with their waste and what people threw into rivers wasn't among those things.

Yes, it's called a Jackalope - did it have antlers, too?

And so too will you, my young friend, by that time...
I look forward to your shrill calls of "Get off my lawn", which you can shout in unison with YOUR great-great-grandparents!
Mars is where the little green men are from! The other planets and moons are obviously uninhabited.

An, the "Nuclear Waste" option. Then sell them on e-Bay 40 years later to some idiot collector!

I've never owned a pool, but I believe they use it for titration, that is to adjust the pH balance so the water is not too acidic nor basic.

It's confidant, not cosmonaut, idiot.
FAIL in 3, 2, 1.
Boom.
You lose! Thank you for playing. Next...
Was the "first-bron" conceived while watching pr0n?
Sorry, couldn't resist...
And why do you think that is so? Nearly every damn warning label is the result of a past lawsuit.

What on earth would be the point to that other than adding a few $$ to your electric bill and more pollution to the EM spectrum?

Now light-speed communications are even faster, since they raised the speed of light in 2011!
