Actually, that design meant that power was isolated to that set of wires. Which, granted, sometimes meant those wire ends slid onto spade lugs on the power switch with little or no insulation.
A computer that can kill stupid fucks who open the case to meddle isn't all bad, however.
I remember when, on a Mac Plus, especially one with just one floppy drive, you could become subject to floppy-swapping hell. On an old mac, with that really derpy-stupid sound the drive made while ejecting the floppy, this could be a maddening experience. An example would be trying to run Microsoft Word off a floppy after booting the Mac system off another floppy. Triple down if you're wanting to edit a Word document on a third floppy.
Do macusers still eject media by dragging it to the trashcan? I always found that a pretty humorous metaphor about what the 'mac experience' thought of the world outside it's bondi-blue enclosure.
They touch their computer, over and over, many times per day. Also their seven year old daughter plays Flash games on it from websites, in Internet Explorer.
Obviously, though, they should have brought their computer in so some turd roller at Best Buy could scan their drives for kiddypern.
You're middle management at some bank in a huge metropolis. That's all I can think of that would explain your persistent snotty attitude in this discussion.
So you are saying that as long as your payments are on time you can easily go to any supermarket or post office and buy a money order to pay with. Or have a checking account, which is what many debit cards are, behind the plastic.
I recently ordered new checks for my checking account online from a third party. The teller at my bank seemed a little weird when I tried to order more at the teller stall; said the service was down, like it was a website she would be using. So I decided to just order them myself directly. With the routing and account number you can just get more checks for your account yourself.
I like all the shrieking and pleading from the power, gas and mortgage companies to set up an online 'account' (more passwords to maintain, etc.) I enjoy trips to the post office to buy stamps and drop letters in the slot; it's a part of small town life that validates my choice not to live in a big city. If they had one-time-payment options for a debit card online I would consider it. I am not interested in having any online relationship with rthem involving another UID and password.
It's not that hard with a debit card account to go into the bank and tell them to change your account so there is no 'protection' that extends an amount beyond your zero balance. If your debit card does not have a sufficient balance in the account, it is denied at the cash register.
If you have an idiot spouse who refuses to track the account balance whatsoever this is not a bad option, because it stops $30 fees from showing up. The alternative can be a nightmare, where somebody bottoms out an account and then continues on to make 3 or 4 more debit card purchases (maybe fotr amounts of $6-10 each) for which the bank slaps on additional $30 fees for each.
Why did you stop there? People historically have done many horrible things for arbitraty reasons, which you can conflate with common sense when you want to defend coddling as you apparently do.
The 1.2 billion they spent went to wages for Texas citizens and for resources purchased from Texas companies. It wasn't money poured down a hole like when illegal aliens send the bulk of their wages back to their home country.
Correct, and NextStep is mostly just some layers on BSD.
It could never have been developed by the nitwits at Apple headquarters. They at the time were defending an obsession over one mouse button among other delusions.
The only ultimate 'losers' are a bunch of US servicemen who will eventually lose their 'gravy deployment' to South Korea to continue the US occuption, after improved relations lead to Korean unification. There's always Germany, I suppose, though things are changing there as well.
So, when they don't use this 'pee tape' for billions and billions in gold, are you going to stop using the purported existence of said 'tape' to troll this forum?
eBay spends too much time trying to be Amazon. It's the place I go for obscure electronic parts* and old test equipment. But every time I go there the browser has to load a bunch of sleek counterfeit merchandise and bullshit for consumers. eBay has gone way too vanilla in the last decade.
$250 is el cheap? My phone was $120 but after I bought it, I saw it about a month later on clearance for $80. It works pretty good, has lasted over a year now.

Without citations, you're just engaging in more of the same. So basically, you're saying you love to pile on more spam in public discussion forums.
Somebody could bump into you and you'll drop that phone and shatter it's lovely glass case. It might even be an accident.

They'll need to drone him, and fast. And take out his phone, too. Nobody needs to know Seth Rich is in his contacts list.

They'll grip on blacktop. If you're running on cenent you're doing it wrong.
My metal baseball cleats make me run faster. With greater agility on irregular paths, too.
Don't get in my way.

Goddamn it iphone keyboard. Stop doing this to me
The bulk of that phone is Chinese tech.
'Far away from the Russian Dressing on the salad bar' should be sufficient to tone down the TDS hysteria.
Who am I kidding; everyone knows our vital bodily fluids are at stake!

I think Meg Whitman already tried.

You should upgrade to a 2500 set. Touch tone dialing is a big improvement.

It just has to impress schoolkids and give them something to look up to science about.
It doesn't need to impress jaded nerds on Slashdot.
