with any sense it would include it's own UPS to allow it to successfully write out to the discs all the pending writes and then spin down...

it isn't going to get much information with me running it in DOSBox on Linux...

I've gone and done it again...

We live in a very strange world when "piracy" has gone from "armed crews of criminal specialists seizing tonnage shipments of goods on the high seas with cannon and sword" to "a regular schmo paying the regular price to use a regular product in the regular way in his regular living room."

the signs of the rot were there when they went after DVD Jon for having the audacity to provide a work around so that he could watch DVD's he'd legally bought on his own personal computer that just didn't have their blessing as it was running Linux...

The serious ones were already "dark" on the internet and phone networks... they had already taken steps to secure their comms channels... what the GCHQ are really complaining about is that a lot of the slow ones have now wised up and changed their ways...

looks like you just killed NASA's server...

the first rule is nobody mentions the "Holiday Special"... the second rule refers to the first rule...

ISIS will be running amok in the US... the FBI and CIA will be recruiting and funding gullible fools to do these "acts"... all so they can catch them and say look ISIS is running amok...

"Whooosh"....

"If you're traveling with multiple people over short distances, Lyft Line and UberPool can be quite affordable, but it's still not cheap enough."

You should be using a bicycle for short trips of 2 miles or less...

current induced is proportional to magnetic strength... yes, but current induced is also directly proportional to the number of windings... the only reason high strength magnets are required is to reduce the number of turns in the coils and thus the size and weight...

"The trouble is that while renewable power sources like wind and solar cost nothing to run, once installed,"

bollocks... they require servicing and checking they're still putting out the correct frequency etc.

it's browsing history held in the ISP, not on your PC... that means anything accessed from your IP address will be available... the only way to do any private browsing now will be via a proxy or using a wifi access point away from your house. and what's the bets that use of a proxy is deemed to be suspicious?

I want to be able to take the battery OFF the bike to recharge it...

The bike remains locked up down in the shed to a ground anchor, not dripping all over the floor up in my third floor flat which by the way only has stairs, no lift...

Also means I can take the battery inside to recharge when at work.

electric assist means I can do my 7 mile commute without getting sweaty... takes the hills out and kills the headwinds... no lycra... ordinary street clothes and shoes

I guess no-one's told these people that then... "Not many cities can boast 27 percent of cyclists continue using their bikes several times a week all year-round, especially not in cities with eight and half months of winter or an average of 256 days of thermal winter and snow. Oulu, Finland (population 191.000), however, is no ordinary town. It is a town where 98 percent of the cycling network is maintained all winter and all routes have street lighting. Timo PerÃlà founder of the Winter Cycling Federation and organiser of the first Winter Cycling Congress in 2013 recently gave us the backstory on his hometown; itâ(TM)s worth retelling here."
