I expect it would be on par with CRT tech in both respects, just for also having electron-excited phosphors. It seems OLED + everything ultimately competes with CRT for contrast/color/speed-- rather like programming languages&#x27

My first guess for MI was mental illness, so this is very much less annoying.

Ah, but which English? I rather suspect it was the American variety that did the most of that. Because, you know, American tradition of rendering unconscious and emptying pockets, and all. It's a thing, here. On the topic of "wor

I know that's the reasoning behind it. My problem is that it's still selfish, just a different flavor of selfishness from EULAs, and maybe falls under a different sense of the word protectionism... well, I can't quickly come

But it's not just a photo, and in any case, a driver's license isn't yours either. It's a government issued official document, and they can require that you return it at any time. So there are even more rules to have to

I was remembering Ed Decker explaining that Joseph Smith arbitrarily edited bits all over the Bible. He was explaining this as a problem in the context of that warning from Revelation, when a Mormon pointed out that it was strictly about th

I believe that taking the warning to mean the entire modern collection called the Holy Bible, and not strictly the book of Revelation, is up to you. It does say 'book of prophecy' which clearly narrows it down, but it's all y

What equivalency? I mentioned the first thing of which the quoted text reminded me. If cf means "is the same thing again", then I suppose I misused it, and I can deal with that-- I don't use it much, I'm a n00b with it.

Ah, but sometimes it rather seems they would be happier if their enclosure was the only one that was permitted to exist. Oh well. Life's too short to spew dissonance into someone else's echo chamber.

At the same time, there's a 'hosts allow' directive with the Pi's IP in the rsync config stored on each Win box, so it's not really invisible. Also, someone might save the password to the BPC web frontend in their

+1 for the Pi. I'm in the middle of tweaking BackupPC [1] on Slackware in one of these so it will regularly pull updated files from the handful of Windows machines, and ransomware won't be able to know it exists. The only thing on

Thank you. I always expected this sort of thing (like pgeorgi's link) to be available but it isn't made as obvious and I stopped hunting too early.
