I've shown the woman I work with (she's blind, I'm her reader) how to use the ATM here, and she's as good as anyone who's sighted.
For this one, which is one of the insert kind, it's just remembering the keystrokes. Swipe one's would be harder. The first question it asks is, do you want a receipt or not.
His comments seem so nyahh-nyahh-nyaahh, it would make me less likely to try OpenBSD, in sort of the same way recent Tom Cruise's robo-Scientology rants turn me off to seeing _War of the Worlds.
...she was a preemie, and was in an incubator. Back then, though, they didn't know how to mix the gases properly, and the pure oxygen destroyed her the use of eyes. Eventually, due to otehr problems, they were removed, and she has artificial ones now.
Her brain is very well developed - she speaks several languages, she earned a PhD. But she's used to functioning non-visually; she pays a huge amount of attention to her hearing, and has always done so. Thus her brain is patterned this way.
If she got these bionic eyes, I'm sure her life would become very chaotic as, she'd have to learn a whole new and totally different of perceving and interacting with the world, and her brain would have to re-pattern itself.
I was *trying* to submit this very idea as an "Ask Slashdot" story, but Goddamn Slashdot 503ed, elasto-bouncing me away like a plane-launching rubber band in a Warner Bros. cartoon...
If we survived Toba, we should be able, as a species, to get through an asteroid or some such thing. Civilization would collapse, there'd be a huge die-off, but as a species, we'd bounce back.
**I** have it on good authority that they're pushing for something old...the Great Old Ones, in fact!
They're going to Leng, to confer with the dread star-headed elder things, in the Cyclopean ruins of their cities. The heck with Mars... we'll all be sucked headless when they loose the shoggoths on us - and not the way you lonely bastards think! Ahhhhhhh!
Heh. I plan to serve my own site to gain the experience of log-reading, config-file twitching, and all that; I want to break into the Web field, and see this as a good opportunity to learn about webserver/OS hardening by fire, as well as being just plain fun:)
I'll also ask a buddy of mine who's a security consultant to attack the server. Better to have a friend attack and tell me my mistakes than some pimply-faced kid 0wneR my machine.
There goes my karma, as I intentionally stoke the flames...
Conservatives in the U.S. want if everyone in the U.S. to be white, Christian heterosexuals, in favor of unlimited guns, with no constraints on business, but morals legislated as tightly as Saudi Arabia's.
If you aren't ideologically and genotypically conformant to the above, then you are bad and wrong.
Liberals know that everyone is not the above, do not require it, and work with it.

...And maybe one telekinetic telepath might turn into Dark Phoenix, and kill us all :0
Please demonstrate how the world is a better place with such people in it.

"stay in touch with the rest of the world." In China? Whuhhh...
Let's outsource and charge tons of money for something that government can provide for a lower cost! Yeah!
Remember, folks, this isn't about the service to the public. This is about Texas telecos' profits.
Learn ... and FEAR!
:D
No comments, and the the site seems to've been crushed already! Then I read your post :)
Sorry. Not.
We've got one of the Washington DC area up on the wall, with different textures for water, forests, highways, etc. It's about 5 by 5 feet.
There are others that're book sized, of the U.S. and the world. They're pretty cool.

The US Federal government requires that IT-related stuff be Section 508 compliant, that is accessible. High-quality and cheap is also good :)

It probably is the clouds ... the cam can't see through fog or clouds, and cannot compensate for low light-conditions...
How can they have something called Conspiracy Corner in a site called number27.org? 7-2=5, but still, it's ungainly :(
I don'wanna! Won't an infinite number of /. readers
imagining an infinite number of variations on Beowulf cluster jokes topple all the turtles?
So, we have to raise the Yamato, outfit her with a Wave Motion Gun, and go out there and whup that ass!
Real time.
From Amazon That way, you'll have a somewhat more structured learning path.
