Tall and skinny... tricky to do.

With appropriate lighting, etc. you could maybe duplicate part of a kelp forrest/bed w/ one or to plants going all the way up and then the wee beasties like sea horses, etc.

Noting on the case is allowed to indicate it contains a firearm.... just gotta get an airline approved case for it, put said case in larger "regular" luggage, and off you go.

Perfectly legal, but to smooth your way you may want to print the FAA policy as well as the airline you are flying's policy.

Is Verizon service even available wherever the main netflix datacenter(s) is/are? If it is, wouldn't they just need to offer a better monthly connection rate, or better speed for the same rate, and let it be a "normal" competitive service for business?

If residential use was closer to symmetric, just what would the outgoing content be, and how many people would want to be consuming it?

Not only that, but just how many of the residential type customers *want* to be hosting services and offering content? How many kernel source mirrors, debian/ubuntu/mint/whatever binaries mirrors, etc. do we need?

Residential, and probably quite a few business accounts, are always going to be consuming more than producing.

Take a gun with you. Doesn't even have to be a complete gun, just enough for the ATFE to consider it a gun. Less than $100, often closer to $50 for a old single shot shotgun. Ditch barrel, stock, etc. and just keep receiver.

Then you can put it in a true locking case, declare it, and by law you do not have to give a key to anyone, and you can't use the "TSA keys" which they all have master copies of.

Get your luggage lost? Simply look at the airline rep and say "Well, you gonna call the BATFE or am I?"

Pro photographers, etc. use this trick....

except there are the lovely post-9/11 laws about "not following the orders of flight crew"

But that doesn't get me back the few megs of storage it was using. Which means a few less pics of my kids, or a few less mp3s to listen to.

On my iPhone I just move off to a virtual desktop (or whatever they are called) and create a folder or two and move all the "can't remove" apps I don't use/like/care for into the folders. Again, out of sight out of mind...

This is why I hated the first generation of "almost smart phones".

Instead of being just a phone, they added half-assed features that got in the way of the phone being a phone.

Strangely, this is why I first went to an iPhone - it was the best at letting me get all the other crap out of the way (out of sight, out of mind, just wish I could delete more crap) and being just a phone.

Car heaven is where the mechanics are German, the drivers are Italian, and the leather is maintained by a British butler.

On the other hand, when I went looking for stuff to run some CAT-5 in my house HD had everything needed, including 2 models of switches (4 and 8 port both 10/100). This was in late 2000.

My big joy when I went from BASIC on a TRS-80 to turbo pascal on a 286 was that I no longer had line numbers. Which means that if I found an issue, I could fix it right there no matter how many lines of code it took, whereas in BASIC w/ the line numbers, if you spaced 'em by 5 or 10, well, any fix had to fit in there. Need a second fix? Delete the code, use a GOSUB to go waaaay down the line numbers, have your longer-than-spaced-for fix, then return back to whence you came.

What about brainfuck ?

"The bigger injustice," Edwards writes, "is that being a doctor or lawyer has become an elite: a vocation requiring rare talents, grueling training, and total dedication. The way things are today if you want to be a lawyer or doctor you had best be someone like me on the autism spectrum who has spent their entire life mastering vast realms of arcane knowledge â" and enjoys it. Normal humans are effectively excluded from performing surgery or arguing cases before a judge. The real injustice of legal or medical inequality is that it doesn't have to be this way." Edwards concludes with a call to action, "The web triumphalists love to talk about changing the world. Well if you really want to change the world, empower regular people to perform open heart surgery and argue cases before the supreme court. Disrupt specialist knowledge and training! Who's with me?"

Ah, but Debian has old software not that bleeding edge new versions of stuff so no disc brakes, only drums

# apt-get install disc-brakes
E: Unable to locate package

# apt-cache search brakes
drum-brakes - A working automotive brake system although may experience fade as it heats up, recommended for advanced users only
drum-brakes-resurface - A utility to resurface the drums in an automotive brake system :)

I'd bet any automaker would end up wtih binary blobs, much like NVidia and their non-open drivers. Which means that yes, you may be able to recompile the kernel, but getting the binary blobs to work may not be so doable...

Of course, then you have to get your kernel onto the device and get it to boot... sorta like the Tivo issue.
