.Ok you old Juliet Prowse admirer, here's one not many people remember: Juliet doing her thing to the Hollies classic song Stop, Stop, Stop (All the Dancing).-40hz (September 08, 2012, 04:03 PM)
! Lost that clip (not near the quality, though) many crashes agone, and somehow forgot it existed. Think I just gave up searching for it. It's fun to watch, and a pelvic thrust or two (2) in there could well have been cause for FCC complaints, considering the period - folk wanted that stuff, but didn't want to admit they wanted it. Methinks those who screamed loudest were the ones most wanting

! ..LastPass has a tool to check, but it's being made out to be a bigger deal than it apparently is.“Since AntiSec removed all the personal data from the data they released, this hack doesn’t present much risk to end users,” said Andrew Storms, director of security operations for nCircle, a compliance auditing firm that works with companies such as Facebook and Mastercard. “UDIDs in isolation aren’t a big deal. In fact, Apple used to permit apps to spew UDIDs all over the place, so there’s a lot of UDID data already in the public domain. For awhile, there were a lot of apps using UDID and personal data to track users activity and selling it to advertisers.”
The larger question is why did the FBI have all of those UDIDs?-wraith808 (September 04, 2012, 04:31 PM)

, she had an unforgettable face.So what do you guys think of these old movies? have they stood the test of time? I've been sorely disappointed by the last 3-5 years of Hollywood's movies, I was wondering how these "Golden Era" movies have stood up to those who maybe were familiar with them before we got desensitized to the sheer quantity of produced movies.-superboyac (September 01, 2012, 11:51 PM)
?!?--A suspense movie with a blind girl. A thief comes into her apartment and there's a whole thing that happens with her turning the lights off, the phone, and some other stuff I don't remember. Very fun movie.-superboyac (September 01, 2012, 11:51 PM)
(especially the old sci-fi ), but don't remember titles worth a damn 
.Note: agree w/barney - Kelly was much better than Fred. And so was Danny Kaye, who is probably the most underrated Broadway hoofer of them all. Danny could do it all - from classic ballet to soft shoe - and all points in-between.-40hz (September 01, 2012, 10:00 PM)
). I'd much rather it have been Juliet Prowse, though ... had a teenage letch for her well past my teenage years 
. I remember her being praised as having the best legs in show-business, but that may just have been a Frank Sinatra quote I'm remembering . At any rate, Juliet Prowse, Cyd Charisse, Ginger Rogers, and Mitzi Gaynor are the female dances I recall most - and all were teenage lust objects for me ... I was a dirty old man before my time My mom used to make me watch Fred Astaire movies as a kid. I always thought he was overrated.-superboyac (September 01, 2012, 09:17 PM)
.)) to help me out. At the moment The Band Wagon (Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse) is distracting me from the Web code I should be writing. And it has brought to mind a couple of questions. ). (Or am I remembering her with Gene Kelly ?)To put a live distro onto a bootable USB key use UNetbootin. Period. Unless the specific distro has it's own UBB tool. It's a simple process. Just follow the guides.-40hz (September 01, 2012, 04:02 PM)
! That's what I was lookin' for. Well, that and the distro. I'd heard rumours about Zorin, but nothing confirmed. I'd also seen implications that it could run Win software, but guess that's not the case. I'll definitely try the Mint/MATE combo. Something that has been proven to work is way preferable to theory .. The other, well ... you've heard the old joke about the cup holder of course. It really does happen in real life : young lady thought the cup holder would support a sixty-four (64) ounce Slurpee (grape, I think). Had to replace the keyboard, 'cause the dishwasher trick didn't work, and she had to go home to change clothes (white dress) .Quote
I think he also wants to snoop on his employees...
He might want to check up on what the legal ramifications are for that where he operates. Where I am it's a semi-gray area that poses significant legal risks for the employer. Better suggest he check with an attorney as to exactly what's allowed in his jurisdiction. One thing that does seem to be an almost universal constant is you're not allowed to monitor employees secretly. Advance and ongoing notice has to be given. And very often some form of consent needs to be gotten back from the employees as well. So: Danger Will Robinson!!!

. I suspect (more supposition on my part), from comments he made during our discussion, that this is as much politics as it is practicality. In some respects, I think he wants to see failures, ammunition for I told you so, perhaps leverage to minimize his partners' influence. As I said, I think his solution is overly complex, but it's his solution. He's already using Libre Office so that should be a non-issue. His financial software is also open source, with versions for *nix, Win, & Mac - another probable non-issue. His inventory and scheduling systems are Win-specific, but tested under Wine. They don't normally see that much activity on a daily basis. We did discuss several of the probable failure points, but in the end, it is his decision.Q: You mentioned Zorin being very Windows-like. How important an issue is that?
I'm also a little confused who you're doing this for. Is this a USB key just for you - or is it something that you may also want to hand out to others?

! Another tends to be software/development, a good part of the time . Then there's the urge just to help others . I cannot think of a higher calling that that last.
