   You mean this piece of text: If you don't know which version to use, start with Python 2.7; more existing third party software is compatible with Python 2 than Python 3 right now. Which is almost directly above the link to the

   +1 for the Teensy (a lot of newer Arduinos can also act as a HID) The MakeyMakey would work but is overkill because it's designed for sensing capacitance rather than a key press. Actually, if you have any modicum of skill at soldering you c

   It's not just Word. Lots of microsoft programs have modal dialogs that lock out other open windows. Outlook is the one that give me the most trouble.

   Sorry but I hate this. Some people at my work do this with credit cards. e.g. Everyone at the table puts a CC in a hat and you ask the server to pick one and that person pays. It's pretty much stopped me from going to lunch with that group.

   It seems to me that Anne needs some sort of cover business to be processing lots of Square CC transactions. BTW, what does Anne being 'mildly attractive' have to do with anything?

    But isn't that in itself another vector to 'hook' and redirect (just like the keystokes and clipboard)? I'm going to agree with jiggy2011. Once you are compromised at that level then it's pretty much game over.

    I don't know if you're wrong but how do those password programs work? If they emulate a keyboard by sending keystokes to the appropriate input field they are most likely logged by programs like these. (not HW keyloggers tho). If the passw

    I found an online epub -> PDF converter. It didn't come out that great but it lets me browse the contents until I can load the epub on my tablet.

    Only buying 1 to start, it's strictly a toy at a great price. Depending on the utility, I might buy more later. If it came with wifi at a similar price point, I would buy 5 right off the bat.

    And this is why me and my family get way more use out of a Chromebook rather than our Android tablet. Please make Android grow multi-user capabilities or give me ChromeOS in a tablet format.

    by bockris 15y ago

    Followup: I see now that 'city' is in and 'region' is out. Did you do that or did it figure it out on it's own. Is there anyway to see the full decision tree without re-voting? I've accidentily refreshed a couple of times so my extra votes

    by bockris 15y ago

    It guessed wrong for me but if the 'ExampleCount' value is accurate, you are dealing with a paucity of data. Will it look for more decision nodes to add or are you stuck with region and browserHeight? If not, how certain are you that you ha
