I'm still not sure how this doesn't violate the Fourth Amendment. Customs has the right to view your belongings for *safety* reasons, and to ensure that the items you are carrying are not contraband. Does code constitute contraband now? Can you be arrested for having code on your machine? I'm not talking about copyrighted, installed programs.... if something is encrypted, isn't that the same as having a secret in your mind? You know they dumped his drive, but the main question is whether they're allowed to. Isn't that stealing from the passenger then?

Linux reboots you.

Last I checked, being able to create apps with native hooks on the Mac platform is the hottest shit steaming right now.

the wall is in computer.

By default, yes. Even so, when you decide how things should be split up, you still have to perform three tasks per letter. DOA. tap move to region, swirl one of two directions, stop in a quadrant. That versus press? Easy call. This has no chance.

Oh what a shitstorm I started here in 5 words.

For everyone that called it racist, the joke is on you. China are a nation of power who do not respect personal liberty. They live in an existence different than the western world; one of conforming or being branded a political heretic.

I'm not joking about the idea that they have extra countrymen in China - that's fact. They have about 1,400,000,000 people, and as someone pointed out, their brightest 25% equal the USA's populace.

There was a time in the Industrial Revolution of the Western World that people were expendable too. What we now see as unthinkable, go look at those nostalgic skyscraper shots with guys walking beams with no gear. Don't act like no one fell. We are just rich enough to care now... or more accurately, we are rich enough to sue massively when this happens, so we care for everyone differently.

When someone dies in China, they move the next guy up.

Yes, but I have 10 fingers to do that with. Sometimes 26 letters each need a "button", touch or otherwise. There will be no "intermediate" input layout. We will go from qwerty to voice. All the rest is just .wma

Awesome - you got the reference! :)

The process assumes that a keyboard is less handy than a touch-rotate-touch-release. In short, this is doomed to fail because I must memorize things. It's probably easier for us to all learn Morse, and just have a deet da dee deet festival.

They have extras...

It's shameful because it's kind of like collecting aluminum cans from public garbage. If you're willing to give your time for that little money, you have a lame existence.

To every Tea Party type that thinks it was a shame, get over it. Fire protection is socialism. I WANT SOCIALISM. Let's fund these damned things, huh? Pay a fucking tax at the STATE level. And if they can't pay, let the STATE deal with it. Fire zones should be based on a municipality, but should be funded in the same way STATE POLICE are funded.

Headline grabbing. The signs have to be replaced over time anyhow. It's not the signs themselves that cost millions, but the people doing the work. All said, this money would probably be spent anyway, but now it's not in all caps.

This is just the old "pump quarters" deal. Arcade in your home. You sure you like it?

Umm... how about Root Mean Square calculation? I use it all the time. I have to master audio and the funny thing is unlike Creed & Nickelback, I care about not just peaks, but overall sound. It can be done.
