If you want console access to an Internet device (typically routers and switches), you plug your computer into the serial port. If you have multiple Internet devices, you remote into a serial terminal to communicate with each individual serial port.
You don't need the Internet to turn Europe into a police state, as the rise of Adolf Hitler proved in 1939. China and North Korea were police states long before the Internet ever reached their borders.
If you send or receive an encrypted message to a bad guy, then you must be bad yourself.
That premise might be changing. The fact that you need or want to use encryption indicates that you're doing something bad. Like the police arresting you for carrying too much cash because you might use it to buy drugs.
We can't allow politicians to turn the Internet into a police state, that is something that happens in China and North Korea, it can't happen in Europe
There was an outbreak of measles in 1988. I was at a Walgreen where the cashier was obviously too sick. A few days later I went to the hospital. Not for measles, but for chicken pox. At 19-years-old, I was hit hard by the chicken pox. Six weeks in bed to recover and two months to regain my physical strength.
I dumped the Computer Shopper white-box special for a DX2/80 with a decent ASUS board.
Most white-box specials had biege cases during the era. Non-biege cases came much later. My very first PC-AT came in an green industrial case that bolted to the floor and weighed 80 pounds. That was a conversation piece.
My late father had a weakness for naughty bits, especially in the Double-D category. No how many times I tried to explain this to him, he always gets his computer infected with spyware, virius and other crap. He even paid $90 bucks for anti-spyware program that suddenly popped up on his computer one day. I hated driving 300 miles round trip to clean up his computer.
When Apple first introduced the MacBook, you could get it in white or black. The black version, of course, cost an extra $200 for the coolness factor. Considering that my MacBook lasted for eight years, it was a worthwhile investment.
When my Black MacBook stopped working, I took it into the Apple Store. Most the Apple employees heard about the Black MacBook (discontinued in 2008) but never saw one in person. They took turns looking at it. Surprisingly, despite being a six-year-old laptop at the time, the Apple Store replaced the keyboard top and battery with identical replacement parts.
On the Token Ring to EtherNet job I did, the fresh out of high school techs plugged the Ethernet cable into the Token Ring card (which took both coaxial and twisted-pair cables) and didn't bother to run the network TV app to catch their error on 200 PCs. I made an extra four hours in OT pay because the project manager let them go without checking their work.
Replacing the ESC button with a red PANIC button on the keyboard and convincing the noobs not to press that button under any circumstances was funnier.
No one wants to switch from a Mac/Windows to a Windows/Mac system if their files or programs are not 100% guaranteed to work.
When my vintage Black MacBook (2006) died last year after eight years of faithful service, I exported my data into neutral file formats (i.e., cvs and xml), switched over to my Windows gaming machine, and imported my data into corresponding programs. Minimal downtime. Meanwhile, I'm saving up for a new Mac system.
I still hand code my web pages in a text editor. I'm in the process of converting an old WordPress website into a static website using the PHP PIP framework. No sense keeping WordPress updated for a website that I stopped posting to a few years ago.
My first tech job ten years ago was a Token Ring to Ethernet network conversion at a local branch office for a Wall Street firm. That was the first and last time I saw Token Ring in the wilds. Some Wall Street firms today are still using Token Ring.
As a security remediation specialist, I'll look forward to seeing the Nessus scan spreadsheet that identifies the systems that has a Java vulnerability that wasn't automatically updated. Last time I only had 3,600 systems to fix over a six week period. Thanks, Oracle!
Most conservatives would view him as an extreme liberal and it scares them (and me) to think that you want someone more extreme than Obama.
I consider President Obama to be a moderate conservative because I'm a moderate conservative. From California, of course. If that means to you that I'm an extreme liberal, you seriously need to stop watching Fox News. The Republican Party in California has more in common with the endangered spotted owl than one-tenth of the U.S. population, which is why they're not represented in any state-wide office and probably won't nominate a candidate to replace retiring Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer in 2016.
If Jeb Bush doesn't sell out to the Tea Party crowd during the primaries, I'll support him in the 2016 election. The Republican Party needs more moderates and fewer extremists.
My black wife was more conservative
Black people are more conservative than most people. They became Republicans after the Civil War because President Lincoln freed them from the South. They became Democrats during the Civil Rights era because President Johnson freed them from Jim Crow. If Republicans want black votes, they need to recognize that the southern strategy of pitting poor white folks against poor black folks for the last 40 years doesn't work anymore.
What's happening is the Conservatives are becoming more Conservative and the Liberals are becoming more liberal. There is a whole lot less in-between than their used to be.
The conservative base of the Republican Party is dying off as angry white old men from the South become fewer in number. The world has moved on without them and they're moving rightward in reaction. Unless the Republican Party expands to embrace moderate conservatives like President Obama, it will soon become a regional minority party.
These junior developers also have a tendency to make improvements to the system by implementing brand-new features instead of improving old ones. Look at recent Microsoft releases: we don't fix old features, but accrete new ones. New features help much more at review time than improvements to old ones.

I have no experience with Garage Band. But GIMP did import all my CS3 PSD files without problems.
Yes, I did. Problem?

You must work at Google. :P

Most farmers are like that.
