Still hoping that one day Ad muncher will some how figure out how to filter https ...-Cloq (December 02, 2012, 08:49 PM)
Um... Bad idea. Ctrl+Y is the (default) re-do compliment to Ctrl+Z's un-do-Stoic Joker (November 30, 2012, 10:09 PM)
.My favorite one is ctrl+z. Basically it's a an undo for last text block/word/selection.-Cloq (November 30, 2012, 06:45 PM)

Works for me 
!For myself, it's less about blood sugar level, and more about blood alcohol level.-Renegade (November 29, 2012, 08:14 PM)
. Although, alcohol has been known to create symptoms similar to insulin imbalances (one (1) grandfather died of diabetes, btw, and the other of alcoholism, so it prolly runs in the family )..What gif?-Arizona Hot (November 28, 2012, 10:40 PM)
.From what I've read, Coke/Pepsi/whatever makes an excellent toilet bowl cleaner.-Renegade (November 28, 2012, 05:49 PM)
?I was thinking of the following parameters:
- Nothing above $10
- Everything must be digital, with a code that can be PM'd to the receiver
- Everyone is randomly assigned a person
- One person is randomly chosen to start, and the person that they were gifted by is revealed.
- The next person then has their gifter revealed, and chooses whether to keep their gifter, or take one that was given before
- Two times through the list, with a maximum of two steals of any gift are possible

.. Not overly optimistic in either case, but hey ... miracles do happen [mostly to other folk] from time to time .There are a lot of things with more acidity than that, like some soaps. You can take a drink of vinegar without any side effects other than perhaps a little indigestion. Some people take a shot of vinegar three times a day to help them lose weight.-Tinman57 (November 27, 2012, 08:29 PM)
The people barney is talking about sound more like IT professionals and potentially have the knowledge to deal with anything that would go wrong, so it's a lot more reasonable for them to make the (informed) choice to use it at home.-JavaJones (November 27, 2012, 11:51 AM)
Yes, this is the class of user to which I was referring. Folks that frequently come home with important projects, and real deadlines, that can't suffer the loss of x hours to get things back up and running.-Stoic Joker (November 27, 2012, 12:44 PM)
. The distaff member makes her living writing/supporting software for some businesses around Texas, so we could call her a professional, I guess. Of the other three (3), one (1) owns or runs a repair shop for SMB machines, one (1) runs the business office for a local contractor, and one (1) has an SMB consulting firm.. , so my antiquated ideas are prolly still viable .Sigh... I hope you're wrong. I would really like to think that enough people are realizing the corruptness inherent in the system, and that enough people are speaking out about it. Hopefully, we will see an end to the medical tyranny being imposed on people.-Renegade (November 26, 2012, 07:53 PM)
.I would really like to see some actual evidence-based science done in the mainstream.-Renegade (November 26, 2012, 06:35 PM)
. But I do have a backup strategy in place, so a major drive malfunction would be a time inconvenience, but little more. Now UPSes make a lot more sense to me - have three (3) small ones, not much bigger than a surge suppressor outlet box, in my computer room , mostly for brown power reasons, but they'll give me about ten (10) minutes to properly shut down systems in the event of an outage. Also have a Synology NAS that can be configured as RAID, but I'd have to get a much bigger UPS to drive that in a RAID configuration.
- with me, as does one (1) other guy. Maybe there's enough in this thread to dissuade at least one (1) other guy, but two (2) of 'em, I suspect, will not be swayed. Like unto a religious or political discussion ... too many, "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts," attitudes . But, thanks for all the data, even if it doesn't do anything more than reaffirm my personal concepts. We'll see.That is not a trivial thing for some working environments.True. And important! But the trade-off is the cost for a local/private installation. As well, there's another [possible] cost than the disk drives required, although that might be considered to be minuscule. That would be the working environment.-mouser (November 25, 2012, 09:25 PM)
). However, for a couple of my compatriots, 'tis not. Methinks the necessity of RAID is more dependent upon need than upon practicality. 'Tis situational, I thimk......), but I can see benefits, as well as detriments. That's why we had the discussion in the first place .?. (Usually these events are at a table at a bar, but my recent incarceration by infirmary incompetents has interrupted that normal process.)I've used this stuff for decades, albeit by a different name though.
