I think you'll find you only get the $10.99 price the first time. after that it's typically more like $25 or more a year for a .com registration. At least it is on godaddy.

I would like to switch off of godaddy, but I only ever remember to think about it when it's time to renew, and from what I've been told, during this renewal time your name is locked and you can't migrate away. Not sure if this is just a godaddy cash grab, or if that's the way ICANN works in general. I use godaddy only for the name registration; I do all my own DNS and hosting.

Then why do you want bash or csh, which are inherently unix-centric and require the use of forward slashes, and know nothing about windows drive letters?

From your post there I can tell you've never used cygwin. It uses /cgydrive/c for C:, not /mount. Which isn't that hard to deal with. Works well for me, since I'm used to Unix to begin with.

There are a variety of command-line shells available for Windows you can try out. They each seem to somewhat resemble cmd.exe with various enhancements.

Are not, rather.

Except people who commit crimes don't really care all that much about the punishment. Harsher sentences don't lead to reduction in crime. Criminals are the kinds of people who think, "Hey, what's the punishment for killing somebody?"

Don't you mean there are cheaper methods of heating than resistive heating? Because as far as I can tell, resistive heating is 100% efficient. Incandescents convert some fraction of the input energy to visible light. Almost all of the rest is emitted as heat. And if there was no light emitted, a resistive element is nearly 100% efficient. It's just that compared to cheap gas it's not particularly cheap to heat with electricity.

My computer is 100% efficient at converting every last drop of electricity that goes into its power supply to heat.

And I actually don't think the OP is really joking. In northern climates, moving away from incandescent lighting will mean that more heating from other sources is required. But even with additional heating needed, it is still going to cost you less in the end at least in terms energy cost, not counting investment cost.

Correct. Kerberos requires a reasonable synchronization of system clocks in order to work. Thus NFSv4 indirectly requires some form of time synchronization.

Doesn't look like he bothered with the synchros. And at the low input speeds his demonstration uses, they aren't necessary either. The dog clutches aren't spinning that fast so as to cause a lot of damage while engaging and they take no load in this demonstration.

And even on a real car transmissions, synchros are not actually necessary on real transmissions either; you just have to know the theory of how to shift.

Been done on a PC/XT too: http://www.oldskool.org/pc/808...

Of course we can blame her for this. She's the one that made the decision to use personal email for government and public purposes, hiding her correspondence from government archives, and hidden from freedom of information requests. If not outright illegal, this is morally wrong. When she becomes president will she continue to hide her official correspondence from government archives and the public? Nixon would have loved to have had a system of off-the-record private correspondence instead of those pesky papers that leave trails.

I was not aware that lightening had any springs or "moving parts" on the cable or the jack. Thought they were magnetic.

Good points otherwise.

As to the other posts talking about how the ports and plugs are engineered so that the port breaks before the inner plastic breaks, or before the board mount breaks, well that may be true in theory. But not always in practice.

USB C still has that ridiculous plastic tab inside the female port that can break quite easily if you trip on the cable. Plus in a pocket it can fill with lint and prevent the cable from seating securely.
Thankfully USB C is reversible (finally!) but compared to the proprietary Apple connector, it still is inferior in my opinion.

You're a very broken person, but I suspect you know this.

There's currently only one production vehicle with an all-aluminum body on the market today. But it has a conventional steel rail frame. Saturn used to make body panels out of plastic as well, but they never looked as good. Steel body panels are light and cost effective and aren't going away anytime soon.

Even when it involves being jerks, Americans think they're unique. ;)
