I agree with you. I might need to skip some things for a few months, but it'll be worth it.

We used rosin-core solder or, when necessary, applied additional solder using squeeze bottle applicators and acid brushes.
Soldering was a great job. The quality of the finished piece was the only factor that was important. We were always told to make each connection as though it had to get to the moon and back. It wasn't about speed, so much as it was your work being as close to perfect as was humanly possible, repeatedly.
I held a Class C Micro-Min Repair certification in the service. I used to live to solder. Long ago I could repair multi-layer circuit boards with burn damage (i.e., holes where burnt components used to live). I could remove the surrounding damage, then replace missing substrate and tracks as I restored the PCB, eventually ending up with a board that functioned as well as the original. I spent 8-12 hours a day looking through a microscope to repair boards. It wasn't all glamorous board repair, though. A lot was the everyday, run-of-the-mill component replacement: ICs, lead components, surface mounts. Even wiring harness repairs/rebuilds. I loved it all. The smell of melting rosin core solder and the whine of handpieces and ball mills used to get me excited
Twice, actually. But I ran away and no one knew.

That would imply that the government is ruled by law rather than the arbitrary decisions of a few "top men".
But since we know that to be true, I guess we can all sing like the Who: Won't Get Fooled Again (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Won%27t-Get-Fooled-Again-lyrics-The-Who/761EF79AAB42FA9C48256977002E72F9)
I'm just wondering when the revolution begins. I don't think that the younger generation realize how dire the situation really is since most of them have less than a zero's interest in history. If they'd even take the time read music lyrics that were being sung 50 years ago, they'd easily see that things are even worse now than they were before.
When does the shooting start?

What a stupid idea it was to go down that path. Now that the idiots in the us gov't have opened pandora's box, I'm sure we'll all soon have the opportunity to see the code up close and personal.
"an ICE spokesman says the intent isn't to deter piracy but to educate the public that pirating DVDs and Blu-rays allows you to skip the bullshit and get right to the movie."
ICE: what a bunch of maroons.
Can you think of anything else as plain? If you do a google search for mike adams, you'll find that there are literally thousands of them.
Well, holy shit. I just did a search for Trentthethief. Who else has been using this nickname? Damn it.
I guess it was inevitable. Now I need to consider whether or not to continue with it.
Ah, yes. I see. Thanks for expanding on that.
Speaking as a one who has run through 20 or so names since 1970 (yeah, way back then, using a teletypewriter->IBM mainframe message system), I fully agree with you.
You're sadly mistaken, youngster.
Many people with more knowledge than you frequently use SSH tunneling through semi-private servers for certain tasks. As for browser fingerprint, those services that are specifically designed for privacy/anonymity (NB) remove those characteristics. You've also forgotten the extensive fan bases of Adblock Plus and NoScript. Advertisers know less about everyone than you think. Of course, there are always people who don't worry about anonymity or aren't familiar enough with the idea (despite their grandchildren's best efforts).
If you're leaving tracks, it's because you are not diligent enough to mask them. You can probably find a goodly number of google hits for me, but only at a few sites. And I'll bet you can't tie me to any of the several psuedonyms I've used for a period and then discarded since I registered on Slashdot many years ago. Only for this nice, low UID, do I still use TrentTheThief.
Oh? An with a pseudonym is not expected to last?
How long you've been using "Opportunist?" Your statement would have had more impact if your UID was 8 digits.
No, the article is specifically speaking about sentient beings, not parasitic worms.
