Personally, I do my best to watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists. However, they don't make it easy - as most of them won't give two shits about the laws or even common sense. Then, our illustrious political leaders want to pander to them. Case in point - in Houston, they've been destroying roads...

What I encourage people to do is to call the local NRA office and ask where they can take a free gun safety course, before they do _anything_ else. They'll at least learn the basics of what they are and aren't - that is, they aren't magical death wands that cause people to go insane. They're just to...

One thing I've noticed, about all the talk about gun control, is that people on both sides tend to talk as if the rightness of their argument should be evident to all... That's because it is obvious. . .if you start from the same basic assumption as the other person. One of the problems with the wh...

Might depend on how popular those Mad Max movies are around that area. . .

As long as the supervisor doesn't go by the name 'Immortan', I think he'd be okay.

I haven't forgotten. I just haven't been home. Two days of networking installation does that.

The main site won't be affected. I run the forum as a different subdomain for a reason.

What I point out to people is something that they don't want to hear. It doesn't matter what people think. We have a 2nd Amendment, it's been upheld to be personal ownership of firearms, and it says _straight out_ 'shall not be infringed'. That means that all of the random laws banning this, that, a...

https://www.datasaversllc.com - that should take you there. Data Savers, LLC. Mercer University Drive. Ummm. I think i already talked to them and they were in the $400 - 1600 range like the rest... The difference is that they're a flat fee. They don't play the 'it's X per megabyte' yadda-yadda. It'...

Wife doesn't want me lounging around our new trailer, while she is trying to get a job at a daycare. And sadly her car needed a few thou in repairs before we left, so we have a credit card to pay off before I can just lounge around. The school in question is in the "good" part of Mesa, wi...

I'll have backups.

I think mandatory training wouldn't be a bad idea, if only so people wouldn't be so stupid with firearms, even if actual service was not compulsory. After all, the higher percentage of population is at least able to observe proper gun safety protocol, it would make a lot of gun-related accidents mu...

I'll have to root around to find the name of the company, but there's a data recovery company I had good luck with in Atlanta, Georgia. They don't charge per megabyte. They have a flat fee, based on the type of drive recovery. I figured I'd be paying the higher fee, and they ended up managing to ge...

We'll have to see how it goes. I'm working on getting things migrated to a new server, with more space and power. Once that's done, we can try to convince more people to come here to have conversations rather than doing the one day 'post a comment' on the web site and run away. I'll also see if I ca...

I made some small tweaks here and there a while back, and it's been so long, I don't remember them very well. I think part of it was avatar size. The contents of the forum should be fine, and anything that glitches afterwards, we'll work on it one thing at a time. I'll definitely be removing the loc...

In the next couple of days, there will be at least one downtime as I take down the whole board, and upgrade to the latest revision of PHPBB Some of the modifications added may disappear, as this is a major upgrade path that I'd been avoiding. However, as there have been some issues with registration...

I don't do a lot of work on the front page, but I know that about a week ago, some glitches started happening with the main database. Paul hasn't been able to properly clear out the spammers. I haven't traced the problem down yet, but it appears that the comments system may have been updated in word...

1) I have a box full of laptop wireless adapters (including some with bluetooth). 2) I'd try upgrading the wireless drivers before doing anything else. 3) get an aftermarket router, disable the wifi on the at&t uverse box, and put the uverse box in DMZ-Plus mode with your router as the target. T...

What I meant was to come up with a single thread and format to lay out; right now, everything's spread across two threads. As for the format _off_ of the forum, I would strongly advise against PDF files. I absolutely detest them, because every company out there lists their manuals, howtos, documenta...

I do not dilly dally, nor do I shilly shally. In any case, yes, I do read my emails (I thought I already posted this, but I guess I missed). Just about any of the moderators could have done this, but I do recommend that the Sun King (le Roi-Soleil) and jwhouk get together and work out what should be...
