12-1/2 months ago we left 25 years in a metro rental complex in the Mpls/St. Paul beltway when the gentrifying new owners raised the rent on the townhouse three times in a year. Exiled to a mortgage in the far xurbs 25 minutes from the beltway. At least an M-F city bus terminal ends a mile+ away. I would say our market is just heating up on moving the non-well off out. "Maturing" into a typical world metro market perhaps.
All I can add because American _culture_ is insane. This is a dead society just waiting for Uncle Sam's corpse to hit the ground. No sanity from the Republicans. No sanity from the Democrats. No groundswell of citizens rising up to say "Enough!" So, whatever. Nihilism reigns. "New record!"
Always do a "page find" first is my motto. In my case that reflects my sentiments about Spielberg and THX-1138 was the movie that came to my mind first. At least the director did _one_ good movie.;) Did a hell of a job predicting the future and probably will continue to do so.
He wrote a modem program on his dad's computer as a teenager and it was very successful as shareware. The shareware system worked for more than one certain crazy antivirus guy.
From about the time Warp came out through the first year of Windows 95 a person could argue they had the most kick ass desktop with OS/2 and Object Desktop. My main system through our first year of home broadband but I cant imagine using it today compared to linux. Dont miss the zombie threads desktop sounds and streaming music clashing would create though.
Happens. Knew someone who told me at a social club meeting a couple years ago about getting cut off from her sources of meds for chronic pain after getting caught. Killed herself a couple weeks later.
I have run over 1200 pounds of paper from townhouse through Canon to recycling. A few thousand books, mags and newsletters. Basically, I agree with the premise that it can be done with a $400 autofeeder and a spine cutter and I also agree with the objections. Is this a webcam on a tripod and something like gscan2pdf? Maybe. How well the software handles things like page curl is important to how worthwhile it is. But he is only asking a fraction of what an autoscanner setup would cost so it is not that expensive and it might even be a good supplement for the books you do not want to destroy. Tempting. It is not like autofeeders do not require some attention at hand too and you have to think about the cost of those replacement rollers.
I got the infamous You were not home for your delivery! Why were you not home for your delivery? Please visit the USPS site to reschedule your delivery! email this month. Well, if Amazon _really_ sent the package USPS like their order confirmation email said, USPS would know that I had a fraggin HOLD on my mail during the labor day week surrounding that day.
I really, really, really do not want more creative delivery. I just want really stable, logical, predictable delivery. I dont want people on bicycles trying to find my address. Sweet Christ on a Pogo Stick, is that really too much to ask?
I have a qemu image somewhere I could run on fairly short notice. Installed from floppies.
And I was one of the few, the proud and the brave who ran OS2 Warp for that approximately one year where it was the best desktop OS available. If you could figure out how to install and configure it.
Yes, or at least a Windows license running in kvm so they can experience how things render differently on various browsers. Thats how I used to set my wife up.
As for Photoshop, maybe have one Windows machine so the kids can put it on their resume because thats really what he is probably thinking about as a classroom?
I only route their daily digest to a folder because maybe every YEAR OR TWO I check for a false positive that may or may not be there.
What gets through is always a question. If you've purchased from a company and might do so again, are their weekly, biweekly or daily ads spam? I have an extensive local filter so most ads go to an "ads" folder for more frequent removal and pure spam gets added infrequently as needed.
Yes, a DSL landline we give out to every place that wants a contact number and an old Uniden phone/answering machine somebody _gave_ me when he moved. Keep the volume low and we mostly hear connections and hang-ups.
I was a teen in the glory days of Allied and Lafayette catalogs when Radio Shack was nicknamed Rat Shack but everybody else died and Radio Shack remained as the place to get many components.
You teach a little geometry, you teach a little set theory, and it's so abstract it has nothing to do with the real world and that's the way they like it. Informal logic is like biology. It needs specimens to dissect and the moment a teacher discusses a "self-sealer" like astrology or seances or asks students to discuss when a fetus is a "person", there will be people with pitchforks outside the superintendent's office.
Seriously. This is America. How are you going to allow students to think about the real world?
It always seemed we could at least sandbox Skype as a limited unique user, but 4.3 requires Pulse and pulse is increasingly the de facto sound system over alsa. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't pulse running at the user level only allow ONE user and system-wide utilization is vehemently discouraged by the developers for SECURITY reasons? If so, it seems like Microsoft and the NSA have worked out a way to p0wn any linux box where a person has installed a working 4.3 Skype.
I guess you could still use it for chat as a unique user.
Binoculars are the recommendation in The Backyard Astronomer. But, then, they don't particularly recommend buying a child a telescope either.
Personally, I went with a used 4.5" Orion Dob as the first instrument and I think it was a good choice. Now I have larger instruments _and_ binoculars. Yes, a small Dob isn't great for groups because you have to keep adjusting it. But, like people say, polar aligning an EQ is something to be explained too and you're still going to be moving it regularly manually. Doesn't sound like you are budgeting for a motor mount. I can just see binoculars being an interesting challenge as you try to get _each_ kid to find stuff. "No, look at where my finger is pointing. That one! Are you seeing it, the one I'm pointing at?" And, sure, I can see stuff like Jupiter's Galilean moons, the Orion nebula, a lot of moon detail, etc. with the 10x70s but anybody who tells you it's more fun to recline in a lounge chair, hold your breath and maintain your arms as rigid as possible so things don't move _too_ much should probably have his disdain for small Dobs taken with a grain of salt.
But I absolutely, totally LOVE depth of field. Screw the art school graduates. I bought a large screen digital tv for the illusion of a window upon the world.
I would like to think -- I sincerely HOPE -- that artificially inducing audience "focus" by depth of field will be as quaint as silent movie captions in 50 years.

Great landscape video. Yeah, thats what a site looks like in a good totality.

His point could make for interesting academic discussion but in a political context in the U.S. it was moronic.
Perhaps a showcase example of being so smart you look stupid.

Log Log for $1.50 with a pigskin cover. We suspected the pigs used werent that fresh.
Didnt see a calculator until I was a senior in college and their library got some desktop LED models.

Damn straight. Not a chance I'm sleeping with one of those in the room.

Exactly. 8 is a horror -- and I _like_ Gnome 3!
I leave 7 dual boots on our off-lease laptops but maybe after 2020 I'll feel good about just deleting them.
It _has_ to be secure.
If you're one of the ones they want to?
Hitting a baseball-sized clump of matter in interstellar space at 200,000 km/hour could take the fun out of space travel.
