And that method is starting to fall apart as high efficiency and alternative fuel vehicles become more common.

I feel so sorry for all those wealthy people bearing such a terrible economic burden. If the burden gets too bad though, there is a solution. They can always just forfeit their income and live the carefree, unburdened life of the poor.

American cheddar is different from american cheese which is different from the individually sliced, completely non-cheese junk you're talking about.

Obviously this is off by default, no one is trying to make any security decisions for you.

In addition to the click, the key then requires less force to bottom out providing positive tactile reinforcement the key hit home.

The biggest issue on rubber keys is not punding them hard enough so I have missing letters on a regular basis. For example the line I just typed. I am not going to edit it for the missing letter as I am typing on my laptop. The remainder of the red lines I did correct so one error is not a typical keyboard induced typo. In reality it is much more. Re-typing requires extra time, mental process, and distracts from work, so a good keyboard does improve productivity and accuracy.

My Keyboard of choice is the IBM Model M hands down. For ergonomics, the tactile feedback is perfect with less proofreading required. The dish shape over a flat keyboard is a huge ergo win and preferred above split keyboards. Did I mention I hate flat keyboards? The key caps are dished and reduced in size so centering your fingers on the keys is natural, unlike square flat keys created by some artsy creative designer. Laptops often favor the square keys as there is less room for dirt and crumbs to fall between the keys. Unfortunately, for a touch typist, getting off center and pressing double keys is a common problem.

Look for a keyboard that you can feel it has made the stroke by feel and the screen really shows the output. Some rubber keyboards do buckle and appear to have bottomed, but still fail to register a key press. Look for one with dimples in the keys so the fingers naturally settle into the centers. and last find one that is NOT FLAT, but curved so you don't have to reach for numbers etc.

Avoid keyboards with extra keys resulting in a small return key. Hitting extra keys that are where you normally have the return key is bad. Having an extra long reach to hit is is an ergonomic issue.

Did I plug the IBM Model M? One without the Windows key is Ideal if you can find one.

Spend some time viewing Defcon videos. If you don't understand everything, you may need training. If you don't know about attacking network printers or VOIP phone systems to get inside access from outside, study up.

It was probably abandoned.

So faster than never? That sounds like something I can live with to be honest.

Right. So you need to trust one company with your payment information instead of hundreds of companies. You say it as if that isn't a huge improvement.

He doesn't mean that he needs to carry multiple cards because merchants won't accept every card. That's hardly a problem any more if you're using Visa or Mastercard at least. He's saying that maybe he wants to use one card for business expenses and one card for personal expenses.Maybe he has a store card or rewards cards for other situations.

Pull out credit card, it won't swipe because the magnetic strip is worn out
Try to pull out credit card, it's not there because you forgot your wallet
Pull out credit card, complete transaction while a skimmer steals your card info

No technology is perfect, you're just making up improbable things to be critical of here. If you don't have any legitimate argument against using mobile payments don't waste our time with this nonsense.

Forget the lot. Look at the cars. An empty lot at dinner time is a sign a table is waiting, but you don't want it. A full lot and a line at the door is a sign of a happening place, but expect a wait. Best to try a late afternoon brunch instead. Go where the locals go. Many bring their car. Judging the lot by the lot itself is like judging a book by it's cover. Content is more important.

Info can be found on Falcon Christmas regarding the Falcon Pi Player.

Workflow is not bad. Use Vixen to create a sequence in time to a song. Normally this is the end as you can play the sequence and music and output to the lights and FM transmitter. This has two issues. Nobody wants to leave the laptop outside to run the show, or run very long cables from the show computer to the display. Besides it ties up the laptop.

Once you have a sequence saved, it can be imported to Xlights/Nutcracker. You can add Nutcracker effects if desired. It has some neat effects for a mega tree pixel matrix. The sequence is then exported in a format compatible with Falcon Pi Player.

Falcon Pi Player has a web interface. Link with Ethernet using wire or wired. Who cares? Either works. Upload the music and sequences to the player. Set the clock or let it use NTP on the web. Either works. Raspberry Pi does not come with a real time clock, so clock setting is required to schedule shows. Schedule your shows (playlists) and the Falcon Pi Player will run the entire show on schedule. Output to control the lights can use any of several compatible interfaces including a DMX Dongle such as an Open DMX USB, or equivilant, or for larger shows spanning many universes of DMX and driving LED Pixels, one of the SansDevices E1.31 interfaces or the DIYLEDExpress E1.31 bridge work great. SanDevices are compatible with more varieties of LED pixes and DMX. Input is Artnet or E1.31. DIYLED Express outputs only two popular LED formats and DMX and only does E1.31 input. I use the DIYLEDExpress bridge to drive a mix of LED's using WS2811 chips (very popular) and DMX devices. Falcon Pi Player does not do Artnet, so Artnet on the SanDevices items are only useful if you want to use FreeStyler and output Artnet. Freestyler does not output E1.31 yet, so that software package is incompatible with the DMX Bridge from DIYLEDExpress.

Hope this helps.

I found the Google results often cherry pick. When looking for a Chinese restaurant for example, Google will show one, but on the way to it I pass 5 others. Correction, I passed 5 and took the sixth instead of making it to the one listed in Google. I sometimes do a search to find a cluster of restaurants and then do a sidewalk and parking lot search. Local knowledge is often better than placed ratings as they are often gamed. A good parking lot is a good indication. Good locations with a good local following are often not even interested in online reviews and map placement to prevent overcrowding. How many online reviews suffer from poor customer service, long lines, long wait times, etc. Find places not on Google maps.
