Except for all the apps where it's "command shift option V" which is like trying to deliver a Vulcan nerve pinch.
Re:Always paste without formatting on macOS on Saturday November 04, 2023 @11:45AM (#38142096)
This solution seems to only work in certain places. For example, it's not working in MS Word. Also, why is it "shift command V" in some places and "shift option command V" in others?

Nothing prevents anyone from creating an open-source implementation of the FIDO server/services.

I wonder if it's some of the same work BetterBird is doing?

TLDR: Yes the Smallpox vaccine is effective against Monkeypox but it's not generally available.

All I want to know is why is it every cool key cap set I find is sold out?

It’s interesting some poker players before making a ridiculous bluff will look up and to the right.

I love the cover art of the early editions. They really were things of beauty at least to me.

Many of the monkey.org and deathstar.org folks all worked for the same IT help desk at UofM which at the time was called "Facilities" best job I ever had. We are still looking for that stolen box of t-shirts!
Nice, any chance you would expand it to manage Elder Scrolls Online addons as well? Great work.
Start simple. Find a project on YouTube that looks interesting and go for it. For the tools yeah they can be expensive. For me I buy v1 at Harbor Freight for cheap. If I use it enough to break it time for v2 from Snap-On, Dewalt, Milwaukee.

First project I ever did was a workbench. It's a great first project as you can use it for all of your future projects. Have fun.

Yes when the majority of what you say is untrue, people have a tendency to discount your recommendations.

Looks cool, but for us filthy casuals could you add a tutorial? Thanks.
Most of the early image guided surgery systems were powered by SGI's as well.

My personal favorite from my time in the Marines didn't seem to make the list. Interrogative. Nothing more frustrating than to ask a time-sensitive question and be met with silence.
Re:The death of corporate research labs on Thursday May 21, 2020 @08:54AM (#23257784)
The book "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation" is a great story about the history of Bell Labs and how the anti-trust suit effectively killed it.
The systems Cliff Stoll was responsible for at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs were part of the Human Genome Project, not a weapons program.

Just to amplify the point, seriously guilty or not do not talk to the police.

Counterpoint: Most start-ups are going to have crunch times periodically where extra effort is called for. At least if they are trying to solve an ambitious problem. I doubt she is talking about a 24/7/365 death-march.

"Splice or solder cables together or to overhead transmission lines, customer service lines, or street light lines, using hand tools, epoxies, or specialized equipment."

No...no no don't do that you will stand a good chance of being electrocuted.

Michigan checking in, 20 acres not that big really.
Some of these trucks are being driven solo by people who live on an onion farm just FYI. Also, my truck gets better mileage than a Giulia. I live in the midwest and sure there are guys who don't need a truck but most of us do.
