As somebody who has his own tablesaw, power drill, anvil (I do armorwork), etc, it amuses the heck out of me every time I read the "modboy" sites.
You can always tell them - they're the ones that include four pages at the start on how to use a Dremel. A DREMEL! It's just a dremel, you just -use- it!;)
Yeah, I was thinking along those lines myself... so they must just use a fragile casing surrounding the chip, and accept that if it's treated roughly, they need to replace it.
To obliterate a chip, it doesn't need to be very much. A tiny layer spread thinly across it, inert until exposed to oxygen (I'd presume that's the method, although it could simply be a fragile casing if they don't mind false failures) would do the trick, and not even begin to irritate the skin if smeared on you.
I have no clue what they actually use, just hypothesizing here.:)
Reading these books (we're stuck playing Wheel of Time right now) was like coming home. The system itself is full of flavor and spice, unlike the blandness of Third Ed. Yes, it's easier to play, but even though pablum is easier to digest, I'd still rather have a steak dinner with all the fixings.
That sounds rather like Canada. We have this newfangled 'lectricity thingy, and we're right excited about it too!
In all seriousness, there's quite a few hosters up here, some of whom are even doing some funky stuff (virtual linux servers on big iron, kind of thing). Don't quote me, but I think easyhosting is up here, and possibly netnation, although I've seen both companies act like idiots.:) Buyer beware!
Gasoline in a tank generally has very little oxygen present, and the liquid gasoline WON'T BURN. Otherwise, a puddle of gas would instantly vanish like flash powder, instead of burning on the surface.
In fact, if you had a plastic collapsible container with zero vapor volume, the gas would be inert. Do whatever you want to it, it won't burn, until you let oxygen at it.
The better beer generally considers only the mass market beers, as microbrews are an entirely different ballgame.
Of course, when you're comparing urine to urine, does it really matter which is better? Molson or Bud, they're both fecking close to water.
Although, I did actually try a Budweiser last month, and I didn't realize how apt the joke was, when applied to Bud. Molson, at least, looks somewhat orangey-yellow. Bud was pale, pale, PALE straw yellow. I was dumbstruck.
Is it? It sorta-almost-kinda looks like it's on a different color background for me, but not quite.
I'm on a laptop, running Konqueror, so god only knows why I'm not quite seeing it right. To me, it looks just a -shade- darker than the background white, but so close that I can't tell where the boundary is.

I suppose if your definition of "similar" is "they both use alphanumeric characters", then you're right, but I suggest that definition is a bit too wide.
It's a difference in how we pronounce the ou. Americans stress it differently, and to their ear, it sounds like we're saying "oo". It's nowhere near as pronounced as comedians make it seem, but it is there.
It's colder in most of the states, than here in Vancouver, BC.
We had snow on the ground for about a half a week this year. Of course, there's also one of the best ski hills in North America a short drive away - best of both worlds.
Ever checked the amperage draw on a modern sewing machine? It's higher than a laptop's power supply, which is rated to simultaneously run the system AND charge the battery... and modern machines are made of much lighter materials than the old iron foot treadle was.
Seems like a rather low yield to me - my grandfather used to sell Singer sewing machines, and has an amazing collection of antiques.
Among them are two treadle style, with a large two-foot pedal, and a long band to transfer the power. That sucker got going REALLY fast, with a lot of momentum. Admittedly, it was all iron as well.
It just seems to me that five minutes of pumping that sucker would have given me about 2 hours worth of laptop power!
But if you yourself are using it, you can still fix it yourself.
If I find a problem in (insert 10 year old closed source app whose company was bought out and then the next one bought out then went out of business here), how am I any better off?
If anywthing, what happens in the case of abandonment is another feather in the cap of OSS. It's not the endgame.

You ain't kidding me.

The HackMaster GM's guide has a +2 Spatula. When used by clerics of good alignment to make breakfast, the food will heal damage. :)
Some of us love that eccentricism, though.
It's why I bought HackMaster.

Sure you can shut down open email without taking away anonymity.
Just because the server verifies it's legit, does not mean it must pass that information on, or even log it!
The server just needs to go "Ah, ok... this one's a good one", and queue it.
That sounds rather like Canada. We have this newfangled 'lectricity thingy, and we're right excited about it too!

That's the hollywood idea of gasoline.
Gasoline in a tank generally has very little oxygen present, and the liquid gasoline WON'T BURN. Otherwise, a puddle of gas would instantly vanish like flash powder, instead of burning on the surface.

Unfortunately not... just a room full of EJB coders and me as the token admin.
Fair enough, I always seem to typo that.
The truly ironic thing? I work in the Guinness Tower in Vancouver, BC. I shit you not.

Of course, I'm also a guiness drinker.

Yes, they have a right to post a picture.
The DMV there, however, does not have the right to RELEASE the picture.
If the police attain a picture of this guy through anyh other means, it's wanted poster time.
Sneaky?
Almost identical?
You seriously need to get your eyes checked.

O'Reilly. The one word you need. The "Bat Book", which is their sendmail tome, helped me daily when I ran sendmail.
I now run postfix (or qmail, when I need EZMLM for mailing lists), and am eagerly awaiting their Postfix book.
You know, that's bloody strange... I can see part of the paste appearing twice (error in pasting or something)... but my typed comment? Wierd.
Rather humorous, this feedback entry. I'll obscure the email just to limit spamharvesting on it, but you can see it at the EBay link.

It (gnome 2) just hit public beta ... why would there be a lot of people using it before it even hit beta?
I can code what I can because I stand on the compilers of giants?
