Nope, bare hands. It needs to be seen to be believed. I can't do it, even my immensely placid older cat won't tolerate that crap from me, but he gives up resisting when it's her.
The sign was referring to tactical systems. Try doing your offsite backup from Afghanistan. Using satellite comms, at best. Beside which, if your system is the only computer you have, you're out of action until you get another, regardless of what backup you have.
My gf lived on a farm (her mom still owns it) and had a whole load of barn cats. Like, dozens. Barn cats are semi-tame, not a housecat but not feral, either. The kittens would follow her around in a line, and the older ones would come to her for loving up. The cats were tolerated (and fed a bit) because they kept the barns and grounds free of vermin. It's a common practice, at least in Minnesota.
She's a cat whisperer now. Works the front desk at the vet and can calm down and get friendly with almost any cat, even sick ones. I've seen her stick her fingers into cats' mouths to check out their gums and teeth, make the toes spread and claws pop out by pressing the center pad of the cats' paws, all with no resistance from the cat. The kittens are pacified with a clutch of their neck scruff, but the older cats are a mystery as to how she does it.
I get your point. This is a problem from a privacy perspective. Insurance companies should not have more information than is available in criminal records and accident reports - ie, if you have a DUI/DWI, that would show, but an arrest on suspicion, but not a conviction, should not be.
Might I suggest a Bluetooth keyboard? I know it doesn't have it internally, but an external receiver would be nice, if it could be made to work.
I do the same thing you are, but on a Mini. I run XBMC and control it with a Logitech DiNovo mini. It's flawless and the battery life rocks. The Mini had Bluetooth built in. The DiNovo came with an external BT receiver (which I do not use) which has provided drivers only for Windows, but some hacking might be possible.
I'm sorry to hear that. I use FPC for my 'amusement' coding quite a bit, having been a huge TP fan back in the 80s and early 90s. FPC is some fun stuff.
Incidentally, the whole C++ library name hashing issue (that was my understanding of the issue), that prevented use of things like wxWidgets with FPC appears to have been conquered at some level. Or am I interpreting the Obj-C interface wrong?
I've known far more than my share of Swedes and Finns, from my mudding days, and they always had excellent English, both written and in person. Yes, accented slightly but quite excellent.
In IOS, there is a possibility of a single enable password, but that means that there is no AAA and no local usernames specified. That means anyone can gain console access, within the limitations of access lists and the configuration of the vty lines. This is not the norm in anyplace that cares a whit about security. Your statement is disingenuous.
Advocating giving every piece of good OSS to Microsoft for free IS trolling. Who the hell wants to write code to benefit Redmond for free? I doubt many Microsofties themselves would do that.
We lived through this in the late 80s-early 90s and the defeat of copy protection resulted in more and cheaper games. The return of this madness has restricted both the quality and quantity of games. Period.
I'm not entirely shocked that someone created a less than 40MB IDE drive, but i'm glad to know that. I really had never seen one before. The first IDE drive I had was in an ALR Research box that had swappable CPU cards - started as a 286-12 on the board, and you could slide in 386SX-20 and 486-25 boards into the CPU slot. Nifty box, really. From about 1988 or early 89. 40MB WD IDE. It was 3.5" half-height and some info on the drive is available here: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/western-digital/WD-93048-X-40MB-3-5-HH-IDE-XT.html
Sure enough, it was produced in 20MB and 30MB versions, though I never saw one of them. At the time, ST-251 (40MB) MFM drives were cheap and common so I can't imagine much trade in 20MB IDE drives.
XT HD controllers had their own BIOS ROM and would have to be jumpered (if possible) to not intersect their ROM memory area with anything else you might have in the system. Many of them inhabited C800:0000 and could not be adjusted.
I would expect a 16450 in something with an IDE drive. Though the smallest IDE drive I ever saw was a 40MB one. 10MB makes me think MFM. So you might be right on that.
I ran the DOS version of SL but I saw Frank's Trash-80 version. It was in BASIC but it ran well. He put the source code for it up on his website not that long ago.
DOS SL was one of the coolest pieces of work i'd ever seen. A BIOS-interrupt hooking comm driver. The whole BBS was a Turbo Pascal program simply compiled using CRT directvideo:=false, atop that comm driver. All the hard work was in the teeny little comm driver.

Bingo. "Why the Allies Won" by Richard Overy is a fun, educational read.
The arbitrary nature of the ruler in question was far more in evidence than organizational skills or attention to any rule of law.
Think Chaotic.

The Marine Corps has it right, you have it wrong.

So I bought one for GTA4 and use it for playing blu-rays now. That was a big win for them, 1 game sold. Great DRM.
The 300 million member HOA is also very annoying and intrusive.
I wonder if he'll shoot himself.

Criminal records are not composed of arrests. Convictions are the only thing that count.

The process toward another 1983 is astounding, and i'll be ready with the popcorn.
The caption needs to be "The Aristocrats".

You have to admit, it wasn't lupus...
i.e. thoughts you don't agree with.
Oh? Well who exactly is the arbiter of 'harmful/offensive'?
Sue them. Eventually, the litigation costs will make them shut down, but it'll be a long way down the road, sadly.
It's the only way, though.

You are wrong. The proof exists already.
