Re: And the signatures came...

I'd have to wonder how the feds would react if a state did vote to secede. Use armed troops to force the state back into the fold? Or how would the feds handle it if the recalcitrant state's population just decided to not pay any federal taxes? Would the Feds try to arrest everyone? Interesting sce...

Re: Descent 3 Wiki Page error

If I am going to edit a Wikipedia page, I would want solid references to keep the notability idiots at bay, which boils down to having a working website with the correct information.

so, the release date of the mac port is nov 24, 1999, at least according to KB's archive

Re: MS surface tablet

windows 8 doesn't do enough to be productive with its metro interface. the potential is there, but MS never fully committed.

Re: Windows/Cygwin total hang

rsync takes the fastest route to determine if a file has changed, one of the things it checks is to see if the owner/group differs between the source and the destination, by numerical comparison, which on linux is an integer.

windows uses uuids.

Re: Windows/Cygwin total hang

samba and windows backup. Windows locks files that are in use, and that's most likely where rsync is hanging up. Also, radically different time stamps and permissions, so if it did work, you be syncing everything, every time.

Re: Humans are beings of light.

Humans emit light as a side effect of the chemistry of life, as do other organisms.

Now, specifically in the link that top-gun uses, they never explored if photon emission is always occurring, or due to previous exposure to light - are we light bulbs or glow-in-the-dark stickers?

Re: How can I get an auth w/o a connection?

The app, once installed and set-up, doesn't require an internet connection for it to generate the needed code.

you can also get the code via SMS, BIM, or by phone.

If you don't have a connection, then logically you cannot access google anyways, so its a moot point.

Google's authenticator is specifically tied your account, you need to add a...
