Even with two 22" monitors, I value screen real estate highly and get rid of anything I don't look at or click on a very regular basis.
To wit, I've been using TinyMenu to get rid of the menu bar completely (replacing all the menus with one small button which I have placed to the left of a search box, itself to the left of the address box, all above the bookmarks bar) for years now.
Do people actually use the menus much? And the navigation buttons? Seriously?
I'd say that with chair tossing, the chair represents the "seat" of the body and by displaying or throwing a chair at someone you're denoting that you think that the person is no better than a seat and deserves to be sat on. Or, something that rhymes with "sat on" and is related to the same area....
Murlocs rock, and everyone I know would instantly roll a Murloc toon if they could.
Yes, they're a pain because they pull a whole beach of mobs to you, but between some of their antics and the sounds they make, you can't help but have a love-hate relationship with them.
If you're talking about the "Planning for the Future" daily, the quickest way I've found to do this, if you can take some damage, is to run through and grab the young without engaging in combat.
With this strategy you avoid fighting (and stray damage will kill the young) and can pick them up while being beat on.
Note that if you attack something, you can't pick up the young again until you go out of combat, but being hit doesn't put you into that state.
Of course none of this changes the fact that you're engaging in some 1930s-type Canadian/Australian-style cultural genocide (taking young from families to raise in a different society), but given a choice between complete genocide (kill them all) versus a cultural shift (teach them not to kill us and live peacefully together), I think the choice is reasonable.
Actually old ADM3A terminals (and possibly even earlier ones)...... oh hang on, a "terminal" for those too young to remember was a device with a CRT and a keyboard which you used to interface to the computer, typically via a modem; the terminal had minimal smarts and was purely an I/O device...
Anyhow ADM3A terminals had arrows printed on their HJKL keys, which is probably where the vi commands got their bindings.
Note I spend about zero time thinking about these things
Apparently not, as you bothered to write about it (and thus thought about it - at least once), but I'm fine assuming that you barely ever give it more than a niggling thought.
Seat-of-the-pants.... 32' of water is about 1atm = 14.7psi, so 36k ft = about 1,125atm, on the order of 16.5kpsi, plus or minus. 20,000psi is in the ballpark, and that's "approximately" 1,500 atm; perhaps the reporter added a zero?
No, it's common to write a story ahead of time (though probably not with dialogue, as others have noted). The gaffe which occured is actually publishing it ahead of time; this is not such a common thing.
I do agree however that it's not likely to be an evil Communist plot, or a plot of any sort, other than a simple gaffe.
In order to distribute, one must send the file, as opposed to (according to most of us, and apparently this judge) merely make it available for fetching.
I'd imagine that if MediaSentry got the file from her, they fetched it (via the file being made available by P2P).
My '66 Ford convertible, which I don't trust to take out of town, got auto-busted for a bridge toll violation about 150 miles away.
The picture they provided was the back of a Ford Explorer..... yes the license was similar - a couple letter wrong only. The picture, however, should've been obvious.
Good point. However, consider that the typical full recharge to handle the 40 mile return trip would take an "overnight" charge.... fine if you've got an extended workday but the typical 9-5 schedule may come up a little short on the charge.
If it's legitimate, they can get a warrant. That's why we require warrants, so that one branch (judiciary) can double-check another branch (executive).
The board owns the computers? They can sell them and pocket the money?
I highly doubt that, unless the library is an independent corporation.
Even the board of directors of IBM typically don't "own" the company, though they likely represent people who own large parts of the company, though small-stake shareholders may own a majority of it.
Perhaps you meant that the board oversees the librarians and has final oversight of library matters.... final as far as within the library's organization is concerned. Given that the library is most likely a city or county library, then the city or county would be considered to own the computers (and the books).
maybe Apple should do as Toyota. Make cheap computers under another name for a separate demographic
Other than LAN party boys, who gives a rat's ass what the computer looks like? Maybe a laptop's looks matter some, I suppose, but most people don't buy a computer because of how it looks...... I think that a lot of people wouldn't bother to buy the Applexus version and would just go to the toyota/scion verion.
... just realized that Apple fanboys aren't most people and probably do care what it looks like

Not that I disagree, but do you think that ethics are absolute?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!

When is XP not good enough?
As far as I could tell 2k was good enough until I started to play games, and I've never found anything that needed XP in the workplace.
Who's to say the slowboat isn't already here?

"Easily" is an interesting word to use there.
You won't, but slashdot might, given sheboyganpolice's track record.....

Hmmm... I'm just not keeping up any more..... almost sounds like someone too retarded to use a faq but still......

Clearing this up took 3 separate mailings.
Sorry, I have to disagree. They have a very bright future in the microwave.
BMW K1200GT, though it's not a car..... that's with a reserve of about 30 miles still available.
Good point. However, consider that the typical full recharge to handle the 40 mile return trip would take an "overnight" charge.... fine if you've got an extended workday but the typical 9-5 schedule may come up a little short on the charge.

Who owns the city?
