The secret to my success is that I start out with the assumption that I am a complete fool. If that doesn't work, I shift to total idiot. That usually does the trick, and I can come to an understanding of the problem that I can do something about.

Yeah, I trace most of my computer problems to somewhere between the keyboard and the chair.

Wow! Great! My in-laws D&L Moy are going to love this. Thanks - Eric

Pelo, you might get your chance. There is research for cyber-neural interfacing to benefit amputee prostheses. But be careful what you wish for; the computers will soon speak back.

Pelo, what a charming competition!

I was looking to install Grism, JStock, or some such to monitor and graph performance for a bunch of portfolio stocks. All I can find is a pstocks thread. Do we have anything like this?

Once again cool overcomes the law of diminishing returns.

I don't think it's a reflect-through effect - a turning 360 rotating animation is shown. The angle of observation is always @45 to the pyramid faces, so that is important, but my money is combined with the high refractive index of plastic - what keeps the light inside fiber optic cable. I really ...

Right! That is incredibly cool. I guess it's a refraction offset effect that makes a 3D "trading card" with the mother images broadcast by phone. Wow!

Thanks GCM, I'm glad I never gave in to the temptation to bank online.

I speak a little Norwegian, but I've always found German way too daunting. Somehow I missed Spanish, despite a decade hosting exchange students, which is very embarrassing. No one in the US should be ignorant of Spanish.

I've checked it out, Mike, but my schooling and Google just aren't up to it. I can occasionally cobble together a nicety response for the Francophones that hopefully acknowledges more than insults their language. Gotta try to answer the commendable effort they put out in English.

Might be the right place to start:

Good luck and have fun!

Merci, oui. Je dois essayer cette approche. Utilisez-vous pour ce live CD/DVD? Est-ce que les extensions de SFS de Rainer travailler pour cela?
Cordialement, Eric

+GCM - Thanks for the CSA link. I'm enjoying the move, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Effective piece - I would never have found it on my own. - Eric

Slavery was a terrible social response to an economic need that was completely unfair to a relatively "small" number of Blacks who were kidnapped and used to make money. Now we have an indenture system that is modestly unfair to just about everyone and a prison system that frankly targets any ...

Got a 600GB SATA drive out of a dump machine today that runs OK on a Dell E521 wreck with 3GB RAM also from the dump. The drive has an HP recover partition for Win7 but won't recover and boot. Installed TahrPup and ran gparted on all but sda3, but it still won't recover. Now I've got Mint 17.2 ...

I admire the expressive passion, but it's more like the baby's bib: "spit happens." FDR was a strong progressive leader ... but "better throw them a bone before they grab the whole haunch" was also part of his thinking. Timing also has much to do with it. Churchill was a great wartime leader, but ...

Sorry about that welcome, Ted. I'm from the North and spent some time in the South. Southerners exhibit some unease, but Northerners express active distrust and veiled hostility. What I understand least is why whites trust whites. I can't see any reason for it. I guess, being white, I have a problem ...

Well, we made it back to filter extensions. Thanks, Rok. Loved the meat story since Omni. I have no love for Trump. Guy has bad hair with bad ideas under that and a bad mouth under it all. But considering the following he's gathered, I do want to know what he says. He is phenomenal. I'm gonna make a ...
