Adj. 1. disenfranchised - deprived of the rights of citizenship especially the right to vote; "labor was voiceless"; "disenfrenchised masses took to the streets"
Although commonly misused, the word doesn't have any other meanings per the dictionary.
From some of the other (albeit suggestive) replies to this.
That's what user mode in Opera is for. It makes any hidden text or fine print clearly visible in a normal font. I am sure there is a Firefox addon or setting that does something similar, but it is very hard if not impossible to make fine print stay hard to read with any decent web browser.
An excellent suggestion for those who are already using Opera (an excellent browser, don't get me wrong. I adore Opera on my Blackberry and Wii.), but not something you need to switch away from Firefox/Iceweasel/Kin to achieve, or even install an add-on/extension for.
Edit (menu bar) -> Preferences (menu item) -> Content (tab) -> Fonts & Colors (group) -> Advanced (button) -> Minimum Font Size (dropdown list). The default is "None", set it to 10, 12, 14, or whatever is comfortable for your level of vision on your particular display. Kudos to the Mozilla folks for managing to hide that incredibly useful preference so well, but at least you only need to set it once! No additional add-on, extension, hack, greasemonkey script, usercontent CSS entry, etc. is needed.
For those stuck with or who insist on using MSIE, Tools (menu) -> Internet Options (menu item) -> Accessibility (button), then either tick "Ignore font sizes specified on webpages" (which is easy, but is way too global for many people's tastes), or tick "Format documents using my style sheet" and make a simple CSS file that has !important rules for minimum font size. Nope, not user-friendly in the least, but you can at least accomplish it without making your bad situation even worse.
I'm sure there are ways to accomplish this in Safari, etc. without too much effort as well, but you will have to ask Uncle Google for the particulars.
My Blackberry was made in Mexico. My wife's Samsung was made in Korea. My prior Nokia was made in Finland, as was the one I lost that it replaced, the other Nokias in my drawer were all made in Hungary.
I have about six phones (does the 'parts nokia' count?) in front of me purchased at different times from different carriers. Not a single one was made in China.
I don't feel like digging out the box of old CDMA Motorolas, but I know those weren't made in China, either.
I've owned (and own) more phones than the average geek. Not a single one since I got my first Moto MicroTAC in 1994 have been made in China.
I had no burning desire to seek out the ad on the net, but I did see it on TV. I receive a mix of Portland and Seattle stations, I don't know if they were buying time regionally or nationally, but they did play it.
There was a standard for 8-bit IDE that was different from 16-bit IDE, so even finding an "IDE card" will likely yield you something of no value.
In addition, most 8-bit ISA hard disk controllers *in general* do not work properly on Tandy 1000-series hardware. The big exception to that rule is SCSI. Most 8-bit SCSI controllers work fantastic in 1000's, and will let you hook up all matter of toys. Most of the 8-bit SCSI controllers you will find do not have boot ROMs, though, so you may be stuck with floppy booting.
Get functional ethernet, though, and the hard drive question is largely moot. One with a boot ROM may or may not work properly, but would be a nice avenue. Otherwise, I imagine you can get enough on a floppy to boot freedos and mount a network share as c:. I'm sure 10Mbit Ethernet can saturate that bus, so it's not like a local hdd is going to be any faster.
Only the devices that need to be able to operate in both roles need to be aware of it. A host is still a host, a client is still a client. In OTG, a client that doesn't find a host can try to act as a host itself.
If you plug a thumbdrive into an OTG printer, the printer will become host and the thumbdrive client. Plug a PC into the OTG printer and the PC (which isn't even OTG) is host and the printer submits, like a good little boy, as client.
It isn't perfect, and far too few devices (outside of occasional printers) are OTG (hint: Nokia and Archos...I'm looking at both of you), but where it's available, it's a good thing.
While the PC's you damage may be repairable after your little 'prank', don't think for a moment that there would be no crime involved. IANAL, but under most jurisdictions that could qualify as either vandalism or malicious mischief.
A future employer may simply ignore an MM on your record when you were younger, but a vandalism rap (especially if you are an adult) is going to bite you big time. You had a disagreement with Best Buy (hell, they screwed you over), so your matter of dealing with it is to go start reformatting the hard drives on their display models.
To a potential employer that speaks volumes. You will be seen as a "likely future disgruntled employee".
"I generally don't trust Remote Desktop over the internet"
Neither do I:)
It works quite nicely under both OpenVPN and an SSH tunnel.
The only part that gets tricky is if you are using the stock msft rdp client (by far the quickest) with ssh. It goes out of it's way to stop you from rdp'ing to your own box. The trick is to tell your SSH client to bind to a different addy in the localhost subnet, e.g. "-L 3389:127.0.0.2:davesbox:3389" and then tell the rdp client to connect to 127.0.0.2.
On #2, he is talking about the server, not the client. There are functional RDP clients available from Microsoft for all 32-bit versions of Windows, as well as OSX, and even third party clients for Linux, Win3x, Java, etc.
The RDP server portion was not included in desktop versions of 2000, and the components included in server had a lot to be desired, e.g. you could not take control of the system console, which is usually needed to attach a debugger to a service.
Not everybody needs these capabilities, but for those of us that do (and don't have much choice in the matter), they are a lifesaver.
VNC does not hold a candle. Anybody who tells you otherwise has never had the misfortune of sitting on a fullscreen vnc session all day. It's painful no matter WHAT the connection or circumstances. NX (Nomachine's souped VNC) and ICA (Citrix, same family tree as RDP) are the only other things for any platform that even come close.
Articles like this do more harm then good when they are filled with inaccuracies.
Not everything in the collection is Apple, though. There's also an original 1979 Osborne I--one of the first computers my father ever owned--the giant suitcase-size portable computer, and a Kaypro II, which helped kill the Osborne due to its smaller, sleeker design.
The Osborne I was introduced in 1981. The Kaypo II (there was no Kaypro I) was slightly larger then the Osborne, and weighed 6 pounds more.
Of course FIOS is only offered by Verizon. FIOS is a Verizon trademark. No other company will EVER offer FIOS unless they purchase or license that brand from Verizon (or acquire Verizon itself.)
There are several other utilities offering fiber to the premises in the US. Over a dozen. Maybe not what you were expecting "12 years later", but your data is just plain wrong.
Again, maybe not fast enough to satisfy YOU, but they have been rolling it out over the past several years.
It's not YOUR MONEY. It ceased to be YOUR MONEY when you traded it for a shiny trinket (aka a CD). If you want it to be YOUR MONEY, you shouldn't give YOUR MONEY to RIAA. Your employer may not like the house or car you bought with YOUR MONEY, by your logic it is THEIR MONEY.
It does the same thing on Linux. I get the occasional menu on the wrong screen, or if I'm really lucky, switching a tab will cause the ENTIRE Firefox window to move to the other screen. Click another tab...whoosh, back to other monitor. Annoying as hell.
It COSTS $35.00 MORE to provide a 1.5 megabit line as it does to provide a 256Kbit line using the same technology? Really? What exactly are you smoking?
I never said everybody should pay the same, I said that Fairpoint has very high prices as opposed to their competition, even in the same area. Thankfully when I lived in their service area, I had the option of using cable for a fraction of the price, which I took advantage of.
I've had Fairpoint in the past, and I feel sorry for these people. Where I used to live, here is what they charge. These people may not get it as bad, but Fairpoint and Value do not go together. $69 for 1.5/512. OUCH.

Much like Fight Club, the number one rule of your particular hobby is not to talk about your results hence you taint them.
Kind of like counterfeiting currency or collecting teenybopper porn, it sucks to have a cool hobby you can't brag about.

Nope. Canopy divested itself of SCO in 2005..

.bank is a bad idea.
Too many financial service organizations are not banks, pseudo banks, or are UNRELATED but share the same name.
bank.etrade.com would tend to disagree with your blanket statement. There are at least THREE chartered banks named "Fidelity Bank".
I agree with most of your points, but do your research.
