so a shot of 100 tons of titanium a day could well make a moon mining facility profitable Even more profitable would be to make Earth pay you NOT to lob 100 tons of titanium at them per day.
Hubble Computer: Just a moment...just a moment...I've just picked up a fault in the ACS camera unit. It's going to go a hundred percent failure within 72 hours. NASA: Is it still within operational limits right now? Hubble Computer: Yes, and it will stay that way until it fails. NASA: Would you say we have a reliable 72 hours to failure? Hubble Computer: Yes, that's a completely reliable figure. NASA: Well, then I suppose we'll have to bring it in, but first I'd like to go over this with Mission Control. Let me have the hard copy on it, please.
You could then pull the chip, and 'flag' the associated pins (bend them out, so they no longer enter the socket)
This is called "flying" a pin and its used frequently in debugging/modifying hardware. Good basic idea, but if you're going to attempt it, you'll need to tie it high as floating it will result in write cycles whenever the ambient RF decides to push your new "antenna" low. Most new bios uses a standard 1Mbit eeprom configuration (SGS datasheet here) so for the DIP configuration, write enable would be pin 31. Std procedure would be to tie it high through about a 10k resistor (ttl inputs can be damaged by power rail spikes if tied directly). Cut one lead of the resistor to about 1/4 inch length, tack solder it to the top of the (for now unbent) pin 31, stand the resistor vertically and loop the other lead over the top and down to the supply, pin 32. "Fly" the pin before reinserting or bend it back in to do flashing. The resistor remains. Find your specific mobo chip's datasheet here
Better to just play it safe and take the entire facial skin. If wearing it in public gets you too many odd looks, you can always make a photo of it later. BTW, storage in the fridge away from baking soda and an occasional wipe with saddle soap will keep your passwords their freshest.
Anyone else notice screen updates when scrolling to now be abnormally slow? I'm not using the most up to date pc for web, but now I can actuall watch it draw three segments of the screen (of text!). Only happens in IE, Firefox is fine. What's chewing the horsepower?

I notice the absence of "danger music" when driving too fast or shoplifting
Trust me, its still there. You just don't notice it as much behind all those damned voices egging you on.

I am more afraid of the countries/groups who have nuclear capabilities but aren't telling anyone - should they exist.
Come back to bed, George.

(We've got) a Deloreon, a flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts of power, and enough road to get up to 88 miles per hour.
Hit it.

It will be a happy bull that wanders out
Trust me, it's not going to be that easy to get him out.

BEEP!
