I had a few friends play with BASIC stamps. Though it runs PBASIC.

I didn't follow it very much, but it still would indicate there are a few instance of hobbyists using basic.

I'm pretty sure it was shouting, "Hot hot hot hot!"

I'm fairly certain comet love joy won't be taking on any more dares for a while.

I totally destroyed those 4th graders.

That was just the ego boost I needed for the day.

Excellent,

I was told by a very powerful source that the only way to protect my data was via a contract for my soul. Among the things needed for the incantation a guinea pig was cited.

Look at Paragraph 367 Subsection 32... "Satan will personally hover over your data with an army of undead ghouls.^3214"

I'm still trying to find foot note three thousand two hundred fourteen.

These deals with the devil are almost as bad as FCC mandates.

I had an isolated network I was required to do this on once. I had no servers and several isolated independent networks. Unfortunately, the network isolation created several issues with our existing toolset so it wasn't a matter of spinning up a host and moving some software over.

I ended up using puppy linux on a usb stick which would spin up an instance that contained a pxe server containing another puppy linux ramdisk. It's sole function was to serve the ramdisk to other machines in the isolated network. The usb stick could be removed once the OS was booted. (Puppy boots and remounts it's ramdisk over /). Once all of the machines were showing tons of disk activity I simply hit the space bar and the puppy host would begin running the same utility set on the host machine.

It takes some of the work out of creating a ramdisk distro that supports dhcp/tftp/pxe. However, since it doesn't contain a great deal of the libraries that would normally be found in linux most applications need to be compiled statically. Despite setting CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS I remember having to manually edit the make files in a few instances to set the -static option.

Entirely doable and it should be a good project for the requester.

Once one reaches /. zen they no longer need to even read TFC either.

It's fairly boring though as I can only stand to read fifty or so RE:s of the same subject.

I'm fairly confident that nothing you mentioned happened before the 80s. In fact, likely the world was only created in the early 80s and everything else is a fabrication.

That fits fairly well with my recollection of things.

I just hope I can find my pants later, but it's possible those didn't exist either.

Well off to the store!

You need Internet2.

Just be very careful.

"Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line?"

I'll fetch him. BREIN? Huh. I can get RIAA! We'll have a nightmare with MPAA, have a surprise party for SCO, Monsanto can do the catering, and then we'll have christening for Lodsys! All I have to do is snap my fingers and they'll be here. They're lining up to get here, and do you know why Jack? Should I tell you why? Hmm? Because here, in this world, the bad guys can win!

Take their domain, computers and women!

Actually, it's been quite documented the moon landings were in fact real.

It just wasn't our moon.

Froth over that one buddy!

The Way Of Kings was on the list and I rather enjoyed it. It is however only the first book and the next isn't due any time soon. However, for a first book it is quite lengthy and does entertain.

I try to find newer material, but the market for high fantasy isn't exactly a crowded one.

I twiddled some bits on my timeline entry and set the year to 2099.

It showed all of my future friends, unfriends, posts and messages.

Unfortunately, it also ended in 22 days with my obituary being posted by friends.

I'm not one to focus on the negatives and now I can focus on tweaking a few posts for maximum content prior to my untimely demise. (I'll probably just copy and paste)

I also had a chance to watch the video.

This is integrated into the vPro management utilities. vPro is a proprietary BMC featured in their laptops and desktops. I have only user end experience with this, but you really just want to think of it as a DRAC. The major difference here is that beyond being another management interface it is shared with the host nic.

Same technology and the primary difference is the level of exposure*1. vPro already offers remote kvm with a proprietary interface. Introducing VNC simply gives a better alternative to the already available management utilities.

It's an improvement, but not anything world shattering.

*1 Do you need any more reasons to be on the internet unprotected?
