You don't remember the pages of code available in the backs of early computer magazines, as well as others (like Dragon Magazine, etc) where you had to carefully retype a whole program?
I've done that wiht cards and passed them off to a friend who travels with the Ren. Faires for a living. She's since passed off my cards to others, so now Winn Dixie, Petsmart, etc. think I live and buy (on at least a weekly basis) stuff in 5 or 6 different states, which vary depending on the time of year....
Crap, I'm doing it wrong! I teach hte only Linux class here at the Comm College I work at (in another department) as an adjunct, adn I spend time with my students showing them how to use man pages, search google effectively, read the "How to Ask Smart Questions" doc by ESR, etc.... Any other tips on how I can change my ways?
Actually, full auto, silenced, short barrel rifle/shotgun are all legal (federal level, some states allow some but not all) for civilians to buy. Full auto must have been made and registered before May of 1986 (hence the extreme cost - supply and demand - , although in April of '86 a full auto M16 was about $30 more than a semi auto only AR15), but you can make new silencers or cut down rifles/shotguns these days no problem. All you do is fill out the paperwork (duplicate), 2 copies of a passport type photo, a finger print card, and a $200 check to the BATFE (bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives, should be a convienence store not a gov't agency!), a sign off on the paperwork from your county sherrif (or form a LLC to bypass this part, since many sherrifs won't sign off due to their personal politics) and wait a few weeks. They do a background check (same type as when you buy a pistol or rifle) and then they check your finger prints in teh Big Database, then they send you your tax stamp. Get the stamp, cut down (for SBR or SBS) or install the silencer or go pick up your full auto gun from your class III dealer.
Easy, relatively cheap, and legal to do properly. Do it the wrong way, and you face multiple federal felonies, your looking at life in a federal prison...
Actually, judiasm nearly requires literacy... after all, one is supposed to *read* the torah at bar mitzvah, not do it via route memorization like I did...
Dunno about the "home user" machines - Dimensions and Inspirons - but the Optiplex and Lattitude series all have a Dell Utility partition that loads Dr Dos (or similar) adn runs diagnostics from that... they should be able to have the same partition setup in *nix...
I read (here on/. IIRC) a few years ago about a gumstick sized machine that had 2 ethernet ports on it. Possible to use Linux on it (or other embedded OS), have a dhcp client on one port and a dhcp server (or just static addy on "real" machine) with gateway/NAT/etc. on the other port. Would allow you to plug into any ethernet connection and then provide NAT, etc. (and some degree of protection and trust) to your laptop, etc.
If you are a fast reader, you could start by burning one of the covers, which would give you enough light to get 3 or 4 pages in. At which point, you don't *need* them any longer, so you burn one of them to read the next 3 or 4... heck, you could probably finish a decent book by the time you got done iwht the covers, table of content, prologue (who reads that anyway?), etc.:)
Neat thing abotu the network printer is that it can also send faxes, since faxes are simply PS/TIFF images that are sent via modem. Did some neat shell scripting, etc. to setup a fax server for a local insurance office - 2 years, 65 thousand faxes in and out, no issues except when they loose power and forget to turn the machine back on...
Or set up a fake printer script that takes a postscript stream and converts to pdf automatically. Had a bookmark, had to go to the wayback machine, but here it is...
Best part is that most "saves" the vests are credited with are from car accidents, where the vest acted as extra support, etc. for the spine and whatnot....
Here at teh community college I work for (instructional tech. and teach as adjunct) a full time instructor has to work 28 hours per week (classroom and office hours) for the fall and spring terms - 31 weeks total, with a 3 week break between - and starts at $45k or so, with state health insurance and retirement packages, the opportunity to teach more (summer, more spring/fall classes) for adjunct pay (on top of your regular salary), etc.
On top of this, UF is here in town, so as you can imagine, there are *lots* of folks with BA/BS degrees (or MA/MS) working on the next level that would kill for that kind of job....
And not a crime until you are asked to leave (and then don't) or told to not come back (and you do). At least here in Florida.
Then again, we have the castle doctrine law, so while it may not be against the law, it probably isn't so good for leaving property without some new holes added by the property owner...
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Well regulated being defined in the vernacular of the times as "well equipped and provisioned", militia being any male over a certain age and under another certain age (national guard wasn't until more than 100 years later). And "the people" in the 2nd are the same "the people" in the first and other amendments....
Well, a good admin should have plenty of time to read/. because they have a smooth running system, with scripts set up to do repetative tasks, and are really only there to put out fires and work on ongoing projects.
Nothing new, see the 2nd amendment and the 20,000+ laws on the books regarding firearm restrictions at all levels - Fed, state, county, city, even Home Owners Association
You've got lots of experience, pass it on to the next generation. Teach - community college, etc. Not the worlds best pay, but the hours are good and you get lots of time off...
(Full time prof. here at the comm. college I work for is off from now until last week of August -with pay. Fall and spring semesters, they are here for 20-25 hours per week, nothing more "required" by policy. Oh, and the state retirement kicks butt)
Really happy as an admin, teacher, and student with WebCT CE 4.1.x - its the last WebCT release. Everything since has been since they went commercial, or been bought by blackboard.
My only real complaint about it is the lack of a database - it uses a lot of touch/lock files, etc. instead. Wish it would be Opened, but I really doubt that will happen....

Of course, a high quality pair of binoculars with large objectiv lenses can gather extra light, and allow you to see better at night.

Anyone remember this, maybe have a link?
