Is there any particular reason not to shine it in to a flowing container of water? Enough water moving would keep too much of it from converting to steam, and it would keep the bench cool for quite a while, and is easily to cycle out with more cool water.
Most of the big metal laser cutters I've seen on TV are in a bed of water already.
In principal its a little like the key duplication machine.
So, in principal they'll tell me they can't make they device I want because some says they shouldn't, just like they won't copy certain keys of mine. This is why we make a DIY laser cutters, to tell the copy police to go fuck themselves.
Microsoft did a great job of making tablets suck. So much so a market never developed. Apple came along and made a bigger more computing useful iphone and it took off. Android works well enough that I've seen many businesses use it in applications that a tablet is useful. Microsoft is still trying to jam Windows on a tablet and wondering why it fails.
Generally mirroring the old hard drive to a new one solves the old drive problem. Also fixes a lot of the speed issues, being that new hard drives or even SSD's are much faster. Many companies are pushing the hardware replacement cycle even longer. Where it used to be 3 years, now 5 or 6 years isn't out of the question with decent hardware. Unless there is a significant change in software, the multicore, multigigahertz computers were pushing out now should be good for a decade.
That said, I've moved most my clients to Win7 so we can standardize the support and use SSDs.
Are you using on the motherboard serial ports, how is the bios setting them up? USB serial adapters? Are these multicore machines? What are the issues you're seeing?
I know from the Linux development threads that I've read, that a lot can go wrong in multicore/multithread processes that attempt to access serial devices. Also things like power management can make port do odd things.
For the most part I don't see MS fixing the issue. Most people outside a few specialized industries are hoping that RS-232 just goes away since it drags a lot of legacy stuff along with it.
Stick a regular start menu on 7 and it's pretty much Vista 3.0. That said, I've been using 8 in the manner it's shipped so I can learn how it's going to fuck up, which the Metro does in weird and strange ways to confuse the shit out of anybody with windows experience. Other then that Win 8 runs as well as Win7. I've not had any major issues with the underlying operating system.
I guess it depends on how the equipment is hooked to XP. On hardware that can be seen by a virtual machine I've had some success virtualizing the XP box. It's much easier to cut the size and attack area of a VM down then a full machine running the hardware below it. Also it's very easy to backup and restore the entire VM image if something does happen.
If you are stuck to hardware, firewall the crap, but also make sure you have replacements for the computer hardware. I suggest same model replacements so if the mainboard dies you can switch it out without windows freaking out and asking to be reinstalled/reactivated.
I'm testing Windows 8 on a 2008 core2duo and it runs fine, it normally runs 7. I do have it on a more modern hard drive. The problem for Microsoft is computers got 'fast enough' for average users at lest 4 years back if not longer. If 2008 hardware is acting touch and go on XP it's either bad hardware or a beyond average use case. Even XP itself got fat over the years. After the service packs and browser updates, XP wanted a whole lot more RAM to get the job done. As for Win8, I hate it's interface, but the resource requirements seem the same as 7.
I work in a hospital setting where most, if not all, computers run XP. In radiology specifically, the PACS software we run is only certified for windows XP and ie 6.
Hospital doesn't want to invest money into upgrading pacs software.
I do quite a bit of work in veterinary medicine and the costs associated with upgrading is pretty large. The scary part of a lot of this software isn't that it's certified to work on XP, it's that its so crappily written that it only works on XP with admin access and any number of bandaids to make it work. What I've done in a few cases is virtualized the XP box where it was possible. Trying to keep this stuff running over the long term is going to be fun.
There are a number of particular reasons. One I can think off the top of my head, at least in the state I live in, is that speed limit signs have to be displayed with in the rules of state law. If the sign is hidden by trees, to low to the ground, etc.. you can get the ticket dismissed in court. Also it can be used in defense when a cop tickets you incorrectly, 60 in a 55, when it actually is a 60.
What's stopping them from extorting people by blanketing these notices and collecting $$$ for "reviews"?
Public insurrection.
Overturn a few cable company trucks in the town square and burn them, and the CEO/CFO's will think twice about this kind of shit. It will never happen, because most people think this kind of stuff will never happen to them. Most people also have no fucking clue that a illegitimate program can run under their user account, act as a vpn tunnel and download content from the internet. Good idea to make it lucrative for the 'bad' guys to frame the clueless when the clueless have to pay their way out of it.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -C.S.L.
Adding a touch screen adds expense, they don't list an integrated touch option on that model, but on others I've ordered it adds $50 to $100. Also, making stuff even smaller then a laptop adds expense in miniaturization.
I probably should mod your great post up, but I'll post instead.
This reminds me more of the Douglas Adams Hitchhikers series science fiction, where Authur Dent gets stuck in an alien spaceship and alien people and it's all just weird and incomprehensible to him. That's what 100 years in the future would be to us without understanding the inbetween 99 years. Alien.
I don't think you should assume all prostitution is consensual.
Then it would be rape, or sex slavery which is a completely different crime. Maybe if prostitution was a regulated business the black market of abuse wouldn't thrive.
Problem with this law is it's retarded. The governments current laws are what's encouraging the bad eating habits. End the corn subsidies now, put them on vegetable farming if you must do something with them.
I crown my self God-King, all shall bow before me. My word is law, vice is sin, health is virtue, may the sinner be punished for his trans(fat)gressions.
It's sad that so many people in this discussion think that additional taxes would fix the problem. I've been saying the same message as you and would mod you up if I had the points.

MSRP on those is $999. Who knows what it will actually sell for. Also, it's a Sony, made by the devil, in hell.
This. Here.

What should you expect from a country who's main exports have been roman legions and the mafia?

The OEM pro editions sold for $139. If they were smart they'd sell it for $599.
Oops, meant to say, stick a regular start menu on 8...

This is America, sex is bad. Violence on the other hand is cool stuff.

>Walking out of a store is legal. Putting things in your pocket is legal.
Because the act of theft is actively depriving the store.
The act of prostitution is actively depriving who again?
