Tell you what, I actually have a pocket PC myself and I even let it run Windows CE mostly because I use it as a road navigator in the car. That PocketPC will however be up for sale in a week or two because frankly the navigator software sucks and I really don't have any use for a PocketPC without phone capability.
Even with a PocketPC at my disposal I have found that I still get all my work done on my notebook. That notebook wont be for sale for some time because as opposed to the PocketPC, I can sit down, take it out and get it done. It has everything the PocketPC doesn't like a screen and a keyboard large enough to work with even for a couple of hours when you're on the move. Contrast that to working with a small underpowered device and entering a lengthy text with the tiny accessory keyboard or even worse with the stylus it comes with.
So as far as the embedded small device angle is concerned I doubt that but a handful of people really subject themselves to the agony of writing a lengthy text on their PocketPC. With that out of the way... again where does it leave you? Where's your niche?
1. I prospect for and mine my own ores and rare materials.
2. "Going back" with ^R.. (so you're using some sort of gnuish shell that uses libreadline) is okay I suppose.
"if not -- well, that's why we have backups, and the few hours of work I just lost is just a valuable lesson in the use of power tools. At least with our power tools we don't lose fingers."
I think very on to something here. The other extreme to that would be some people who cut off their fingers intentionally with a knife after they have failed dishonorably. The problem with that however is that most of my customers accept neither apologies nor amputated limbs. They do take cash however:-)
Whoever you're working for, happy monkeying around with their systems. Why I even envy you.
I have no idea why this small operation out of Nuremberg, Germany keeps on trying (and how they're able to purchase press coverage). With a choice between full compatibility to Orifice 200x by buying the original or getting a free kick-ass Office Package that is maybe 80% Microsoft compatible - what niche does that leave the guy asking money for something that is 80%-90% compatible?
"I only use absolute paths with "rm -rf". Using an absolute path means you can recall it from the history and re-execute it, no matter what the current directory happens to be."
So you actually !rm from history and then take whatever you got coming like a man?
(Individual files I do accidentally delete by accident, just no "-rf".)
Well if that's the case I suppose you should get a second opinion before hitting enter...:-)
Where did you get all that from? The "BOFH Best Practices Manual on UNIX Systems" ?
1. Don't rm with an absolute path because you could easily
#rm -r -f / tmp/dir
when "all" you wanted was
#rm -r -f/tmp/dir
instead do this:
#(cd/tmp ; rm -r -f dir)
or even better use sudo if you have it:
$(cd/tmp ; sudo rm -r -f dir)
2. When logged on as root or when using sudo on a production system think things over at least twice before hitting enter.
3. Make sure at all times you're on the right machine, logged on as the right user in the right directory. Set up your shell prompt to look like this user@host/path$
Since it's yet another "Give-up-your-Freedoms-for-the-sake-of-the-Childre n-Month" how about giving up the freedom to use land mines? Thousands of kids step on these each year and hop around with artificial limbs for the rest of their lives. Nobody spending millions of dollars here to stop the US (and China etc.) from using (and producing) these fuckers.
Hell no... first let's get the blocking infrastructure in place here... first let's block child-porn, then all the "whacko conspiracy" sites, then all sites that "violate community standards" and then at the end all sites that _could_ "violate community standards".
Landoverbaptist is a little different from your usual run of the mill ministry: It's a (hilarious) parody site of one. If you didn't see that then I suppose your intellect will be the last thing to get in the way of you getting "saved". Rejoice, mentally innocous poster and Praise the Lord!!
No paper doesn't ever lose its value, now does it? Here. I have a 1 Million Reichsmark note in my desk so Herr Hitler still owes me that Villa just outside Berlin. Oh wait. That was 1934. A billion Reichsmark didn't even buy you a loaf of bread in 1945 even _IF_ you had ration coupons. That sucks, but that's what happened. First the allied bombers took out the villa and most of Berlin, most of Germany so there wasn't any value to back up the Reichsmark in circulation and on top of that Herr Hitler kept the money printing presses going because he needed Reichsmarks to pay for the war effort... so all that was left in the end was paper to wipe your ass with. If you wanted that loaf of bread then you had better have to offer something of 'value' in exchange, like gold, jewelry, or yourself should the other side be interested.
This is why smart people don't trust in paper money and instead have a small cache _nobody else knows about_(!) of rare metals and other goods to trade and barter.
And youd be wise to do that because a cow is still worth four goats or eight pigs at the end of the month while the paper "doller" buys you less and less.
The way I see it the Federal Reserve is outside that court's jurisdiction. The Federal Reserver (misnomer) is not a "Federal" but instead a privately owned bank, large shares distributed across the usual suspects from Rockefeller to the Rothschildts themselves to the Bank of England.
Ah it's you, Krell:-). Yes, you do have a point there, with "sanctuary cities" openly defying federal immigration laws.
The problem here is that a certain population is permitted to cross borders while another is not. There are no sanctuary regulations for Americans trying their luck overseas. If American serfs want to leave their fief, they have to have the permission of their future overseas liege lords and they're obviously not interested as foreign immigration programs become tougher and tougher.
Check out Farmers Branch in the Dallas Metroplex area, though. They enacted laws to deny illegal aliens housing and dole in FB and should their police dept apprehend some of them then these are held until they are picked up by federal immigation officials. To find out more about that: http://www.supportfarmersbranch.com/
... you just have to be the village idiot yourself. Something tells _me_ with USD 1.3 million he can virtually buy himself wherever he wants to. If he did anything dumb at all then of course it was sending large amounts of the money to China, though I am sure he is taking care of his family there.
Btw, talking of bizarre crimes, I find it more than bizarre that large corporation can move across borders as they please, but if any individual decides to do this they're a criminal. Enjoy the Global Plantation.
As Microsoft is planning to role out its latest installment in the Windows saga, tech experts warn that Vista is far from enterprise ready. "Up to now we have received no word whatsoever from Microsoft whether Vista will indeed integrate seamlessly with existing Windows 2000 servers" says Vox Technologica's Expert Frank Gibson. "As far as we know the numerous gotchas we have uncovered in the lastest beta release of the operating system have not been fixed". Since many of Microsoft's customers are still using Microsoft Windows 2000 servers, tech experts are not expecting a massive wave of upgrades to Microsoft Windows 2003. Tech experts agree, only very few corporate users will readily adopt Windows Vista in 2007 pointing out that Windows XP was shown the same kind of cold shoulder.
Let's see, a piece of "letter" paper is 8.5 x 11 inches. Let's see at 600 dpis inch that are 8.5 x 600 = 5100 dots per line or 5100 x 11 = 56100 dots per page. The raw capacity of a common laser printer is therefore a little less than 64 Kilobytes per page.
The next thing we could do to increase the amount of data is to add the color dimension. Let's say our printer is capable of printing 256 * 65536 different shades of red, blue and green by putting different quantities of cyan, magenta and yellow and black ink/toner on the paper _and_ our scanner has the color resolution to discern 65535 different shades on it, each of the 56100 dots on that piece of paper could be in 256 * 65536 = 16777216 states meaning each of the 56100 dot can store a distinct 3 byte value. So now we get 56100 * 3 = ca. a little less than 192 Kilobytes of raw data.
I guess however that in practice we would be hard pressed to come up with more than 64K per piece of paper (128K if you're using double sided paper:-) ) because of real-life equipment limitations in color and dot resolution and of course the certainly required error correction scheme(s).
I still like the idea, though of refining the 2d barcode.
Uuh, I don't need such a sophisticated "home". All I want is a place that...... is far away from any major highway... is on a road that doesn't appear on any maps... is in the middle of a forest property... can not be seen from public land... has a big fireplace... has two huge dry and cool cellars, one only I know about... is marked as off limits, privileged just like all other hideouts of the US Elite.
"Decades inside just for smoking a joint? Do you have any sources to back that claim up?"
This isn't Wikipedia. There is no revert button, no Jimmy Whales and the sierra club admins just a bunch of interesting facts that people can research into if they're inclined. You might start that kind of research at your next friendly state or federal prison and asking people what they're incarcerated for or of course just by going to the courts and asking for the records.
Looking at Mr. Wheaton's side, I think all the Trekkie-girls and of course Trekkiewomen that had a Crush-er on Wesley... I'm sure now they're detecting the massive emissions of homosexual signatorons from his site and are powering up their disruptors as I am posting this.
A VM like VMWare strives to emulate a real machine as perfectly as possible. VM detection looks for cases where the emulation is less than perfect. Perverted as US kangaroo courts are, they could conceivably order VMWare to be less than perfect.
IF there is something worse than a monopoly then it's a vigilante corporation. So if you think it's bad Microsoft is now policing the net, well did you know that the _SCUM_ behind your friendly TARGET store may well someday hold a cold barrel to the back of your neck?
"Target is pushing forward a different model of corporate giving,"... Exxon Mobil, for example, is building hospitals in the developing world. Cargill Corp. is building schools in areas where potential employees lacked basic skills...
In the past few years, the retailer has taken a lead role in teaching government agencies how to fight crime by applying state-of-the-art technology used in its 1,400 stores. Target's effort has touched local, state, federal and international agencies. Besides running its forensics lab in Minneapolis, Target has helped coordinate national undercover investigations and worked with customs agencies on ways to make sure imported cargo is coming from reputable sources or hasn't been tampered with. It has contributed money for prosecutor positions to combat repeat criminals, provided local police with remote-controlled video surveillance systems, and linked police and business radio systems to beef up neighborhood foot patrols in parts of several major cities. It has given management training to FBI and police leaders, and linked city, county and state databases to keep track of repeat offenders.
David Icke is an english sports commentator turned spokesman of the British Green Party turned researcher into the occult and secret governments. According to Icke we are ruled by cruel shapeshifting extraterrestials that look like two legged reptiles, hence the lizards. The ADL "Anti-Defamation League" is a highly aggressive lobby organization of the B'nai B'rith ("Sons of the Covenant"). It's official charter is to protect minorities from racially motivated speech. For some reason the ADL came to the conclusion that someone talking about two-legged humanoid reptiles ruling the world that need to be stopped must be talking about Jews ruling the world that have to be stopped. When Icke went to Britian to give public talks and lectures the ADL was there to attach the label "antisemite" to his back. They tried hard to rally support for that idea. They failed miserably.
To get back on the subject here, the Canadian Firewall, first kick back, watch the video and see for yourself what happens when a lobby like the ADL decides you're to be labeled, censored and shut up, because as ridiculous as it sounds: Once that firewall goes up, antisemite talk like "Lizards from Outer Space" is the first to go.
