Slide the cover blow on the magnetic disk whilst spinning. Maybe it was just a dust bunny that crawled in your disk.
Um... most of us I'm sure played Oregon Trail on some variant of the Apple ][, which used these: http://www.ivanexpert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/525_floppy-300x300.gif Please explain what cover I am suppose to slide?
I know to be in the dorms up at Penn State (and I imagine most other colleges/universities) you have to have certain vaccinations. I forget anymore what the main one(s) was/were
Funny thing... Just saw an ad in the local news paper (an ad for wegmans grocery stores) that generic Lipitor will now be free (90 pill prescriptions or something along those lines)
I mean if a hole or flaw in the software allows someone to steal PII or CC #s etc, I don't think the company who had the data stolen should be souly at fault.. it should be split (unless it can be proven the company failed to take basic "standard" steps to try to prevent such attacks)
Yup... I've installed quite a few tracvision units on rvs and campers. Typically don't take more than a minute or two for initial lock + dish or direct to acquire the signal and produce video + audio
Really? Every German car made uses torx to take apart (even to mount an after market radio into a new Beatle).
Same with secure torx.. They aren't secure as you can get sets with the bits about anywhere.
Even the extremely odd screw Nissan uses in some of their altimas and other models to hold the bcm into the car (and I'm talking odd) can be found online (which some installers must purchase to do remote starts in those cars since they require connections at the bcm but the bcm is in a very tight spot)
So, like others have said... Torx is anything but obscure.
Pretty sure they used a CDN or two to handle the traffic, and its possible the CDN uses a hybrid mode which works basically like combining a regular CDN server network with a p2p torrent network
I still have my fat ps2 with the dsm (dms? I forget now) 4 mod chip with toxic os. Tried to sell it years ago on eBay but they kept pulling the ad any time I mentioned home brew, mod chip, toxic os, etc
I still believe blowing worked. And I refuse to change that! Say it ain't so!!
On a side note, my friend's old Nextel Motorola phone started throwing fits after about a year of use.. he'd plug in his charger (the wall charger that actually came IN THE BOX with the phone), and when he plugged it in the phone would say "Incompatible charger". It didn't matter how many times he removed it and plugged it back in, it would *always* display that message... UNLESS he blew into the connector port on the phone before plugging it in. Once he did that, it would work just fine.
That it does. Reimaged a dell e6240 laptop using IBM's tavoli system manager the other week, and it apparently failed at some point. Everything installed and worked except the one video driver. These laptops can use the built in intel video for battery savings and switch over to a build in nvidia "card" when more grunt is needed. The issue was the laptop wouldn't output video to an external monitor. I checked in device manager and the nvidia card was listed as it should be, but the intel video was listed as "generic VGA" which still allowed video to display on the laptop screen but didn't have the ability to work with an external monitor.
What's funny is angry birds on the iPad/roku is also something my 2 and a half year old son likes. Along with doom on the iPad...
BUT he *loves* the atari arcade on the iPad, he'll play it more than the others. He also goes into the spare bedroom and turns on the C64 himself and plays Clowns (he loves that game as well)
I didn't force any of the games on him.. He freely chooses what he wants. In the Atari arcade his favorite would be.. Honestly I forget the name and never played in when I had a 2600 growing up.. But some game where it shows a ship and 3 guys standing next to it, one guy runs over and hops in. You then have to shoot some emeny ships that hide around some big square. After that you have to land the ship on some white line landing area, which takes you into some area where you have to get to some object before your O2 or reactor runs out and escape back to your ship (then rinse and repeat)
Personally I've grown to like Lubuntu.. runs quick even on old hardwareboots to desktop on a gateway laptop I was given (stuck a standard patriot Pyro ssd in it) in under 6 or so seconds.
But not all amazon treaming is cfree for prime members, some is just discounted where as Netflix is a set monthly fee with as much as you can take in. I will note I have Netflix and am also an amazon prime member so I'm not biased.. but I also think vudu's HDX format beats them all
Netflix: reasonable price, good feeds but selection can be lacking and TV series a season or more behind
Hulu Plus: great price, selection on TV shows sometimes fills in what Netflix is missing (and vice versa). Can't stand the ads
Amazon Instant Video: unlike the others no monthly fee, everything is single purchases or a season. Discounts and some free stuff for prime members. Up to date but streaming can sometimes be problematic compared to the others on the ps3
Vudu: like amazon no single monthly fee, everything is single purchases or a season. Streams great and their HDX format is top notch for streaming. Absolutely great picture with 5.1 audio, but also the most costly of the group.
"If default passwords are a common problem, don't let the system function until the default is changed."
Even something as common as DD-WRT understands this and requires you to enter a new password when you first access the router (granted you can change it to the existing default but hey, that's your own fault then). Then again look at the OE firmwares... they don't require a change and even Belkin routers which use a "default password" of nothing allows you to keep that as your password (when it prompts you just click "login" and in you go)
But Windows 8 uses Metro, and to get to the "classic" desktop you have to find it within the Metro interface (as well as control panel and all that). It also has no start menu, which I can see being a headache when it gets deployed to enterprise setups like colleges and all that where the end users aren't going to be able to find various apps creating helpdesk tickets that don't really need to exist (among other issues)
ah, but I have used it.. and tested in it A LOT in a VM for both existing apps we have as well as other tests to make sure it what we use will work. I know it's an early release but with our end users (as most are) not very tech savvy I can already see a lot of potential issues.

Woah! For a minute there I thought you said mount near toilet in bathroom for easy streaming of "angry bird" videos....

My Samsung galaxy s gt-i9000T had built in sip support right out of the box... so did my old nokia

Good news everyone!
NASA will only have to wait half as long to find out if their software upgrade worked!
Now read that in Farnsworth-voice...
lol that's exactly how I automatically read it the first time!

I wish that was more of the truth and the metro interface would disappear on the desktop!
