an example: a tight nut on a bolt needs to be loosened - these individuals will tend to go about needing complex tools or methods, theorizing forever on whiteboards on this or that angles and torque and whatnot, hours later with nothing accomplished - damnit all, just squirt a bit of wd-40 on it, stick a damn socket and wrench on the thing, add a pipe extension, and give it a bit of leverage and bust the bastard free
Yes but the way they would come up with wouldn't have a chance of damaging the nut or bolt or disturbing the existing rust/markings. They were after an exact copy.
USB mouse? Try unplugging the mouse and then booting. If you can get in then uninstall the mouse drivers, shutdown and reboot with the mouse plugged back in. Accept the default Microsoft drivers.
A better analogue would be a museum moving to the opposite building and then nailing planks over my house's windows to prevent me from taking pictures with a teleobjective trought their windows.
With you supplying the nails and planks and inviting them over...
Thats all fine and good, then you develop batbelt syndrome -- carrying a personal cell phone, a work cell phone, a work pager, and a PDA out to the bar is unforuntately NOT cool.

Licking the boot of a dictatorship just to avoid getting kicked out of the market is not "maintaining the highest ethical standards
Or the US government?
I've done the opposite.
I have been using Opera for years and recently installed Firefox and it feels a lot slower and clunkier.
Opera works for me.

So it can't be an April 1st joke can it?
I mean no-one in the US would read SlashDot would they?
Do they even have the internet over there?
South Africa was heavily sanctioned for doing what the US is getting away with in relation to its military prisons/patriot act etc.
Lucky sods.
You've got a pair of cans.
I use this new fangled "network" system, a cd drive wouldn't get used.
And yet you still bought it...
I read this as "they can be sued and shut down the US."
I don't see a downside, do you?
They only pay out if you actually win.
You have to come up with the goods first.

What's the difference between having a large pressurised tank of hydrogen and having a large pressurised tank of LPG?
And people thought the site was a parody?

Not a geek, a git.
The Toshiba Libretto community is still very much alive and kicking.
So are the Librettos themselves.
Sounds like they're scanning the exif and possible looking for steg. data.
I usually use a combination of Ad-Aware, CWShredder and HijackThis when I'm doing a cleanout.
And have the avatars using samurai swords to...

Wait.
Oh it's been done.
" a motorcycle and a visible knife clipped to my pocket."
How big is this pocket?
If I take a pic from far away I don't usually have to crop at all.
But that's what you get with a 1999 model 0.8Mp Sony Mavica with 14x optical.
"Poor bastard. Wonder if New Zealand ISPs have hidden clauses in the AUP to axe your account if you use too much bandwidth?"
Most ADSL plans are 10c US per Meg over cap.
The cap is usually somewhere between 500mb and 5Gb or less.

What sort of PDA?
This is all I've been doing since 1997.
:)
I havn't done any advertising for the last 3 years.
I'm still booked a week in advance.
I get paid to ride around on a motorbike and play with computers.
Sad isn't it
Because there were no Pentiums of those speeds except for 100MHz.
You're talking 486's here.
If it had an extra wait state then it should only be slower to twice the MHz?
