I'm talking about the electronics and software that won't let you hotswap, like you can with a keyboard, or detect after loading the OS, so that KVM switches have to be much more comlicated and expensive.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it. -Upton Sinclair" fits within the 120 character limit and properly credits the originator.
As I have pointed out elsewhere, IBM's PS/2 mouse port and protocol is obviously the invention of the Devil.

Congratulations!
I was looking for the (I thought) inevitable Christine O'Donnell mice with human brains comment and you go with the much more subtle Paladino reference.
...where users can no longer tell the difference between content and advertising..
But those are the same people who never could tell the difference.
Although admittedly there is a problem with search results being full of pages that, once you get there, turn out to be advertising with phrases added to get themselves into the search results, it's prefectly obvious to me when I actually load the page that it's advertising, almost always for something in which I have no interest, but I'm certainly not going to rewarded them by going to them even if it's something I do want.
Speaking of rogue rangers, remember "Legend of the Rangers" or something like that? The title made it seem like it was going to be backstory on the rangers, like maybe even a century or two before B5, with lots of non-earthlings, but it was just a bunch of obnoxious post-teenagers trying for "Starship Troopers" meets "Beverly Hills, 90210".
You left out one of the "z's", so if your boss backtracks your surfing he'll just hit a "site not found"-type message or a re-direct to Yahoo or something, so you'll be okay.*

When you say "US election", do you specifically mean elections of holders of federal office, or any election at any level to any governmental office (state legislator, governor, mayor, city council member, school board member, the obligatory "dogcatcher" mention, et cetera) occuring within the U.S.?
What he really posted was "first 'they did wtc too' " (as in "we're talking about Jews so expect a bunch of 'they did the wtc' remarks"), and, due in part to the lack of ellipses afer the word "first", the moderators failed to detect the humor.
Considering how high off the street those signs are, I'd say the ones being urinated on show a lot more marksmanship and accurate aim than the ones with bullet holes.
I don't understand why vinyl is any more attractive than CDs. The latter have the same album art and liner notes as a record, PLUS a booklet filled with pictures/lyrics...
But no really, really big magnifying glass. Looking at the tiny pictures and the tiny print is no substitute for the 12" x 12" cardboard sleeve.
That's not RIAA "compression, it's RIAA equalization, not really the same thing. The bass is lowered and the treble boosted when the master for the vinyl is cut, and then the phono pre-amp applies the same in reverse, bringing the bass back up and the treble (and noise in the same frequency range) back down.
As far as I know, CD players weren't designed from the get-go with dynamic range expanders built in to reverse a standardized dynamic range compression applied to all CD masters.
"Warmth" doesn't come from rolling of the highs as much as it does from the harmonic distortion being even-order (i.e., "in tune"), like you get with vacuum tubes, rather than odd-order, which is more associated with solid-state circuitry.

Not familiar with the BOFH stories,then?
Looked right at "comlicated" in the preview and hit "submit" anyway. Doh!
I didn't say anything about the connector.

Londo Mollari? Is that you?
Shouldn't that be "are fewer data"?
Heroes... why did they cancel that?
Because that annoying guy from "Prison Break" made it a lot less enjoyable to watch?

Are you sure that you don't mean "fenders"?

There is no such thing as beyond infinite...
Unfamiliar with Pixar physics, I see.
I see you are familiar with Earthlink over Time-Warner Cable.
I'm just now "upgrading" from 98SE to XP, provided I can get a non-counterfeit, non-OEM copy.
Who else does Iran sell these PLC's to?
Iran doesn't make and sell them, Siemens does.

It's no more a Ponzi scheme than any other insurance policy.
And that's what it is, insurance. Death insurance. The opposite of life insurance.
I loved your proposed signature... so I stole it.
That's alright, so did he (or she, it's not always easy to tell online).
