Gray and a Bell exec named Barton got together after Grey's Western Electric was bought by ATT, and set up the wholesale telco business Graybar to supply equipment to the Bells and the independents.
he didn't get the patent, but he didn't camp out by the side of the railroad tracks, either.
if they want to close down their political opponents and enslave the nation, why not just use the quick and proven method of marching their brownshirts down the streets at 2 am?
best you'll get out of MS is publication of the entries and expectations of all the APIs for writing to windows.
open source means everybody can tinker with the product from source code.
MS used to give some computer companies OEM rights with the ability to submit modules on MS-DOS, but never in windows.
if you think they got scoured with Vista no-ops in fancy packages that companies have depended on for 15 years, just imagine what the open source world would be like.
telling is that they have NOT open-sourced DOS. but then, vast parts of it are still core code in Windows.
MS is like the junkyard guy down the street... reuses everything, never throws anything out, and there's a nasty big rusting pile of it all over his house and yard.
it's pure politics. the House republican caucus is a primary source of friction against democratic policies, and those republicans see themselves as the last finger in the dike.
thus, they're going to fight everything that comes their way until the public makes it known that this last national election meant something.
red is a pivot color for the two difference signals Y and I, so you might get more noise from interference with the sound band. the buzzing that changes with flashing black letters would be a good thing with "you are stupid."
red does look like high modulation on a scope, but that's deceiving. reason is that BLACK is full power in NTSC, and white is no power in the video channel. what color is your static? so going to black is pure evil, if it persists for more than a minute or so, you will start tripping transmitters.
if the system doesn't trip out, of course, from overload, then you lose output tubes, possibly transformers, and any weak spots in the RF cage can get trashed. they don't like less than 20% modulation, aka 80% power load, on a sustained basis.
io fact, 20% is the "pedestal level" at which the CRT electron guns should be cut off, full received black.
that's what the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply and on the motherboard and plug-in cards will do, go boom.
in the case of old tube equipment, there are two schools of thought on this.
the preservationist school says bring the unit up slowly on a Variac to reform those capacitors that are not fully dried out, say, over 12 to 24 hours. then test the caps, and anything failing needs replacement. issues with your plan are no exact replacements, SMT desoldering and resoldering, etc.
the functionalists recap the whole machine first (the frustrated preservationalists gut the old capacitor bodies and put the new stuff in them, then seal up again with the same old wax or pitch) and then power it up for a smoke test. most of the same issues.
this is not looking too positive as I see it. something with as few electrolytics as possible would be the best bet, like a laptop.
as long as the mafiaa continues to use illegal investigative techniques, they can't get a clean case to try. that's why they want to try and make the ISPs squealers, try and get out from under the stain.
won't work, we see the shoes behind the curtain clearly now.
it seems generators now have run-timers that turn them off to remind you to change the oil and filter. so you are going to have to go out every three to five days, shut the bugger down anyway, and change it.
our company had a tower full of engineers who never get dirty, so they didn't know it, so we turned up a bunch of remote stuff on generator while waiting for local power companies to run us underground service. yeah, you guessed it, every few days a wave of failure tickets.
breaks down about this way... a natural gas or LP or diesel generator with line-down starter (generac is the most widely known) starts about $2000. you will need a concrete pad poured and fuel supply cut in, as well as a conduit underground to the house, that's about another grand.
wire in a transfer switch so there can be no question of reverse energizing of the power line, the transfer box is vastly overpriced at $400 for a simple multi-breaker thing and a couple grand or more for a whole-house breaker for the main feed to the home.
electrician expenses will chew up a few hundred bucks. call it $500 to pull the lines you want to protect and run them to the transfer box.
tank and fuel if you went the diesel route or LP route takes it anywhere from $4000 to $5000.
if you can handle hands-on, avoid the "use two breaker panels" nonsense, it's not possible to do that and meet electrical and criminal code requirements that you be unable to back-feed the power line and kill the guys working to restore power. you will have to terminate the lines you need to transfer in junction boxes, have SO cable with twist-lok connectors coming out, and these plug into either color-coded twist-lok receptacles in a junction box either from the breaker panel, or the feed from a bulkhead conduit/box that brings in the power from the twist-lok on the standalone construction generator you buy for about a grand.

for in such there is a lot of money to be made.
all that happens when I "cat furry" is I get bit on my machine.
they should require a prominent logo of a broken CD if DRM is in use.
the wonder of joint ventures. periodically somebody who has a license from one vendor will be sued by the other.
on the other hand, the vista window is a much-better known logo. like Mr. Yuk (tm) it serves as a valuable consumer warning device.
couldn't find their ass if you spotted them both hands. might as well put all their records in shoeboxes and label them "Stuff."
although it loads malware faster than ever before

hijack-weasels who need to be shot have pretty much ruined the idea of distributed donated computing resources, thanks.
after dwindling activity on some usual chat haunts earlier.
see how playing the secrecy game bites you in the end?
draw your own conclusions, but at minimum, FTC is going to come down on Apple for inadequate disclosure, and thus stock manipulation. bet on it.

DOJ should intervene on the side of customers.
that'll solve their budget problem.
got the street address for their servers? give 'em a little Vitamin D-14. Caterpillar construction equipment, sanitizing the net

this is their business model over there.

call as I flip, charmed or strange.. .
and a few folks need to go to jail for a very, very long time.
yes, we need to shave a penny out of every step in the process, and cut 15% out of support.
and you're playing catch-up to Samsung just that fast.
heckuva job, Seagate. fire some execs and put some brains back in the outfit.
no mystery who cuts a cable when they sink at the same time, is there? a few of those, the marked cable routes will be avoided.

electrician costs and parts will kill the rest.
