Take the HDD out. pack it in air bladders, ship it to the location you are going to, or to the hotel.
Fly with the laptop, sans hard drive, or another that's just windows. Then when you get to your
destination pop in the "real" HDD.
Why? Because if you have tax free medical savings accounts, couple things would happen.
As with the so called social security trust fund, congress would raid it, and would have NO money in it.
Giving POWER to the citizens, goes totally against congress, the senate & the white house. We can't
have the people having any power...it would make the government not needed, and would take away
OUR power.
Sad, but true.
First couple shuttle launches had ejection seats, but were taken out prior to operational use.
The way that stupid shuttle was designed, there would never had been a practical way to escape
the shuttle, unless they went with a "pod" to get them out, which would have weighted too much.
The capsule concept, in use from the 50's, is a more practical way of escaping, but, NASA (and by
the way of a proxy, the congress), went with that stupid shuttle, then didn't launch it the way it was
intended (piggyback on a giant plane). They went with those stupid boosters, problematic at best.
NASA, congress, and of course the CONTRACTORS, wanted the shuttle because they sold it as
a "flying truck". So, instead of furthering our exploration of space, we just flew up and down in low
orbit, then, they came up with the space station concept to give the shuttle something to do.
It's been a great big money spending party. Put space exploration into private hands, which will
find a profitable way to do it, and space exploration will, to coin a phrase, take off.
Well, since those shows are almost 50 years old, and she passed away at age 85, that would put her in the late 20's to early 30's when those
shows were made.
In 1972. Started with tubes in a tv shop when I was 14, transistors just a bit later, then in the late 70's, went to a 2 year college for
electronics. First computer we had in that school, took up an entire room, magnetic tape and a whopping 10 meg hard drive with a
platter larger than a laser disk.
After college, took a year long job in Houston for Texas Instruments. Loved the job, hated the city (early 80's).
Came back (midwest) took a "temporary" job in an office machine business, been in it ever since. Was just starting to
transition from discrete transistors to LSI chips so I bought myself a computer kit, built it myself, learning along the way.
Played around with basic. The key is to NEVER stop learning. Some in my business dropped out, when things went digital
about 12 years ago, add connectivity, internet, cloud computing and they just couldn't hack it.
I'm in my mid 50's now, and I even have some of the vendors calling me for advise, because I never stop learning and always
want to know "what if".
When hiring, "book smarts" to me, only means you were good enough to sit through class and pass the tests, but, I always look
at practical experience, and weight that, as much or more, than that little piece of paper with your name & a gold seal stamped on it.
I'll bet, except for benchmarking programs, any commonly used app on the google play store, will run just as efficiently on any snapdragon 8xx SOC,
as it does on my snapdragon 400 device. People are for the most part, WASTING their money trading in a snapdragon 800,801 device for a snapdragon
808-810 device, just on the basis of performance alone. My 400 device, has a great camera, plenty of ram, LTE, battery that lasts 3 days with 3% left
over, but I didn't pay 600-800 bucks for it.
Hey, your money, I just don't get the "need" to trade a device 6-9 months after you get it, unless it was a dud out of the box, or you've jacked around with it
to the point that it is unstable.
I've had a Huawei Ascend mate 2 since July '14. 6.1" 720p screen, snapdragon 400, JB4.e, 4000mAH battery. Factory stock, not one mod, flat out stable. Go for weeks without booting, 2-3 days, moderate to heavy use on one charge.
If you aren't a bleeding edge spec type, for $380.00 it's a steal.
Great...once you grant them "rights", the next thing there will be, is people and CHIMPS demanding the right to "marry" each other.
The downward spiral of humanity into hell continues.
I've been using f.lux on my computer to change the color temperature on my monitor from the standard
6500k down to 3500k at sundown. I've been using it for almost a year and even with caffeine intake,
I find myself naturally getting sleepy around 10pm, unlike the usual midnight to 1am time I use to experience.
Last three smartphones I've had in the last 5 years, Dell Streak5, Samsung Galaxy Note1, Huawei Ascend Mate2,
all purchased full price OFF CONTRACT, direct from the manufacturer, carrier unlocked, had FM radios that worked
just fine. You had to use ear buds, because they used the headphone wire for the antenna, but it did work.
I've had much better luck with the performance & stability of those 3 devices, than I've had with any of my previous
phones. I think in part because they are all unlocked, not crippled non carrier based devices.
For decades, government has told us to either buy a smart car, small car, cars with better gas mileage.
So, we did. Now government is crying because we are not buying as much gasoline as we use to, and
government isn't getting "its share" of fuel tax like it use to, so they want to increase the fuel tax to make
up the difference.
Same with self produced electricity. Now the utility companies will want a surcharge if you make your
own...typical...government hates competition.
Rope, minimal cost
Gallows, minimal cost
Short drop method, neck snapped, person DEAD.
A lot more efficient and cheaper than all of this other crap.
It makes no sense to swab a persons arm before inserting a needle to execute them.
You afraid of them catching a germ? Drugs have to be approved by the FDA, you have
to have sterile conditions, doctors, nurses, hospital gurney and the like.
Just let them walk up the steps to a gallows, put a bag over their head, attach a rope
around their neck, pull the handle, let them drop, problem solved.
Their "profit" right now is PROJECTED, not actual. Once people from the "janitor to the CEO" learn that working harder will NOT get you ahead, people will start slacking off, because there is no incentive to do a good job. This will be another FAILED trial of socialism, but, you can bet there will be little if no press coverage, when this fails.
Hey, the issue with the police officer, to me that was MURDER, plain and simple.
But, these "cell phone" recordings of incidents, usually start AFTER whatever altercation between the parties started.
In other words, ONE SIDE of the situation is recorded, leaving the viewer, if they are going to be unbiased to wonder
if something happened BEFORE the record button was pressed.
He's guilty, everyone knows he's guilty, but there will be a certain group or groups of
people that will start with the racism, anti-Mus*** stuff online and the news media.
I guess since they allow people to get up close & personal with that area, the background radiation must be at a somewhat reduced level than it was 70 years ago?
We continuously have discussion on "big oil", big pharma" big (insert name) of anything that is capitalistic, but how come we never
have a discussion about "big academia". College sports coaches making 6 or 7 figures, professors that do nothing but write papers,
books and attend lectures. The cost of a traditional 4 year college is astronomical, compared to the outcome of its students, who are then
saddled with 40-100 thousand dollars or more in student loan debt.
As judge Smails said on caddyshack..."well, the world needs ditch diggers too".
I've seen these person on the street interviews where the person would be lucky to cross the street & chew gum without being run over.
Can't answer the most basic math or history questions, but, buy golly they can tell you the latest (c)rap song, or which hollyWEIRD nut
is banging another hollyWEIRD nut. Most liberal arts indoctrination centers are just that. Instructing kids on how to sit down, shut up
and OBEY your master, the government.

Wouldn't it be nice, if ALL government projects, worked as good as the Opportunity Rover.
Yep, called a phase II ping. Gets em within 50-75 feet, if not closer.

Should have one of these "art festivals" about once a month across the nation...draw these morons out and stomp on them like the cockroaches they are.

My property (once the tile is clear). K.M.A.! I'll do with MY property, as I see fit. Screw your DMCA

But SHE would be WAY worse! No more Bush's, no more Clinton's! Term limits on all federal politicians, judges...no more terms for life!
Between the EPA, the animal nuts, the water has been cut off to southern California to "protect" blind fish, snails and other crap.
I think a few of them need "time outs" also, for being so stupid as to have a simple password, THEN typing it in, IN FRONT OF THE STUDENTS.
