It's a start. Apparently with all the agencies just giving food, clothing, medicine etc, that isn't enough. I think it's a pretty good idea. A computer itself isn't going to do it but educate them on how to use it and somehow getting them access to the internet so they can find information will be the start. Of course many of these computers may end up being traded/stolen etc, there will be some good out of this. They will have access to information that they would not normally have. Who knows.....
We had 2 different Telestar's. In the following link we had the 2nd one and the 3rd ones on the page. The black one even had a revolver looking gun that came with it, an early version of duck hunt... well, you just shot at a square block I think...
Good point, kind of like DUI, public intoxication etc... The law doesn't punish you if you use alcohol, just if you try to operate a vehicle or can't conduct yourself in public after using it.
I pose the question of where would one find this "evidence" in history. I'm not saying that I doubt you but do you have any sources? I for one would love to read up on this. I don't use any "illegal" drugs but I do smoke and drink occasionally. From what I have read, nicotine has a higher addiction rate than most any other drug and when you first start smoking you do get a mild buzz, at least I did, and every once in a while I will get mild buzz from smoking.
That's nothing.. On CSI they can get a 1 pixel picture and *insert CSI technology* turn it into a high res 1600x1200 full color display capable of identifying any of the criminals in the picture with full visual ID and their entire life's history.. all within about 12 seconds of getting the 1 pixel image.
As I read this article, it appears that it's the external device that has all this issue with it. If you were to take this drive out of it's housing and put it in a machine does the drive run correctly?
Strangely enough, from the days when I had to reinstall Win98 on several machines all the time, I have that 25 character key memorized.. that's what I use for my WPA encryption. Haven't seen anyone crack that one yet.
If we say that it plays a role in our National Security because it's used to intercept foreign terrorist transmissions, they'll have their funding and then some.
Any photo evidence must be provided by a kodak instant camera. That's about the most trust worthy source from what I can think of. No negatives to doctor/blow up/enhance. Just one shot and it's done.
For some reason when I read this I thought you were talking about an OS pronounced Fritos and thinking to myself is it Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch... must be close to dinner time. And yes I have used FreeDOS.
Don't know if it's been already said but our Social Security numbers were never supposed to be used as a means of identification and look where we are today.. it's needed for just about everything you need to do.
Not to mention the fact that, the movie is only gonna take up so much space. Do we really need more space to add 5 hours worth of previews and commercials and 80 hours of commentary and deleted scenes for an hour and a half movie that was in theaters just one month prior?
Nice concept but if you decide to read kiddie porn while using your neighbor's light then get busted by the police your neighbor isn't going to be standing in court. If you use your neighbor's wifi and the IP gets picked up for downloading kiddie porn then your neighbor will be standing in court... BIG HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I wish I could afford a powerbook, but between stuff like paying bills/feeding the family/putting gas in the van to drive to work everyday there's just not enough in the budget for a dream machine that a powerbook is. I'm not a mac user by any means (I can get around and setup networking/internet connections due to being tech support) but a powerbook with OSX would be a welcome addition to my home.... Oh by the way..when I think of Mac users I think of idiots (due to these being the only ones that I noramlly talk with. They wouldn't have a clue if it was a Mac/PC/Coffee maker/headlight etc...) But on the rare occasions that I do get to speak with a real mac guru, I'm just in awe........ I think Apple has really turned itself around now if they could just cripple the Borg and start becoming the OS of majority maybe then we can start seeing some real improvements in the computing industry......
I do internet tech support for about 14.59 an hour in Nebraska, the pay does suck for the bull that I have to put up with from the company and especially the customers. I'm expected to be able to spoon feed these people on how to work their brand new Dell and get them on the internet to view pages and get their email, plus answer any of their questions useing proper "keys" training each time and do it under 15 minutes or I have some "tech spec" coming around and asking me if there is any problems... "Go away you little PFY I've forgotten more than you'll ever learn." Anyway, with the amount of knowledge that you may have you can always suppliment yourself under the table by doing computer work, repair, networking etc... I start of at 50 bucks an hour for home users and 75-100 bucks an hour for businesses. Make sure to rate it just like a mechanic would.. if you work 1 hour and 2 minutes, bill them for 2 hours. (Of course if it's family give them a 10% discount HE HE HE:) You'd be suprised at how many people will shell out 50 to 100 bucks to have someone come hook up their DSL or Cable modem/router.

If I remember correctly, the opal was the traditional wedding stone before all the "marketing" of the diamond.

One small step for Mac one giant leap for Mac kind.

Sounds to me like you've got yourself a project. :)
Don't forget code-fu!
