Ok, we are going off the rails again. LOL

We've only had two Bushes, when's the third one?

I hear you, and hopefully some stupid ambulance-chasing lawyer won't make it your problem. However, I don't see how the company is going to be able to stay out of legal trouble. 'Course, I'm not a lawyer, and I have no desire to debase myself sufficiently to become one. All of which means...

I used to be able to whistle the carrier tone for 300 baud. Actually locked up a couple of fax machines that way. Sadly, I've never been able to get my voice high enough to see if I could modulate it and mimic the data stream. 3:) Rotary dial and party lines. Yeah, I remember those days...

Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure I'm clinically insane; the inside of my head is pretty much the definition of chaos.o_O You've seen 'The Terminator' right? SkyNET was what happened when they tried to stick my mind in a computer.3:)

My health plan isn't 100% covered, but it's Blue Cross/Blue Shield and is a very nice plan. It only costs me about $350/month for the whole family too (with $1000 deductible), which is less than I paid at my old job for an inferior plan. With all of Sue's health problems, I'd've been sunk...

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Our copyright laws are insane in a number of ways, but they still allow you to have multiple viewers in your own home. Effectively, this is running a movie theatre for you and 5,000 of your closest friends. Not sure how they can avoid getting stepped on...

Sony's making it work with PS3 games, and so is Microsoft with the X-Box. sigh

I generally answer with what I'm currently making. Admittedly, I make at the top end of my profession, but that establishes the fact that if someone is paying me that now, then I must be worth it or at least close to it. Inevitably that is followed by "Would you be willing to take less?", and...

All I had to do on Fedora was enable the fstrim service. I'm not sure about Mint.

Two questions: 1) Can you live on the lower salary? 2) Could you be at least not hating life if you took the higher salary? Taking care of your family is important, and if push comes to shove, you do what's necessary. However, speaking from experience, it takes a LOT of money to make me able...

XNA will not run without at least dx9.0c installed. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but the limited search I've done seems to suggest that chip doesn't support dx9, although I'm not 100% sure of that, because another source seems to suggest DX11 is supported. It may be that older DX...

Seems this is everyone's answer to compatibility. Strikes me as just another way to extort extract sell us something.

Keep at it Boo, I'm sure something will come your way. edit: WTF?! I just realized we don't have a thumbsup smiley?! <runs off> Danrok! Why didn't you tell me there was no thumbsup smiley?! Danrok? Daaaannnnnrroooook! /edit

I've not actually tried it myself, but my understanding is essentially what you've described; slowly shave the top of the package until you get to the silicon. Once you've done that, then start looking things over with a microscope.

This is not particularly new. The Baseboard Management Controller has had a similar capability for ages, with less security. This has been mitigated to some extent by the fact that everyone KNOWS if there is a BMC because they actually ORDER it; it's usually only installed on servers and other...

Is THAT what all the incoherent rambling was about? I thought you'd slipped your meds! :D:rolling::p

Very often, what we do only impacts a few people around us, but just every once in awhile, something strikes a chord, and interesting things happen. Do you think the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. set out to start a revolution on civil rights? Do you think the people who staged the 'Boston Tea...

It's always a possibility, but in this case I don't think so. Like any other human endeavor, and politics frequently DOES get in the way, though it's not USUALLY the corporate kind. Here's the thing so many people just don't seem to get when they say "I don't have any effect/I don't count/My...

I too am eagerly awaiting GOTG2.
