I was playing with this, it's simple enough to install - NOTE: it needs PAM, so that's a definite minus, but they say they're working on that (We'll see).

Also, it's certainly not ready for prime time now; most common use cases aren't supported - there's no fine grained control that it is typically used for: Per user, per command, per host defaults, etc.

If all you're doing is shielding yourself from borking your system, then it works ok.

Paradise!

Where peach pies are cobblers and fragile means fragmented.

College Station, Texas is one of the first two towns that the Amazon pilot (no pun intended) is being tested out.

Just the sheer thrust shot that package off the sidewalk well into the lawn, a few steps away from the public sidewalk and nowhere near the customer's porch.

Has anyone considered dropping these packages in people's backyards instead?

Excuse me?
Google now moderates your synched bookmarks? The hell?

To clarify: this is a Google Save Collection, which is one of the mechanisms Google syncs bookmarks via. They're not the default in Chrome (but accessible), but they are the only bookmark facility in the Google Search app, using the standard bookmark icon.

Empowered by you to do so.

So what are you complaining about?

i.e., You brought this upon yourself and wanted it to happen - it is what it is and this is the mess you made of it.

The port of Los Angeles, from the turret of one of the gun emplacements that defended Southern California during the Battle of San Pedro, repelling an attack from a Japanese submarine... that might not have actually happened, lolz.

Regardless, it woke up everyone in Los Angeles when the army unleashed batteries of battleship sized guns and commenced with hellfire into the ocean.

Most likely? There was a submarine, but only for recon to determine L.A. was too fortified to suicide attack.

    Assumptions: please clarify and correct?

    • Solid body (make/model) please?

    So the cavity would be either under the pick guard or the panel on the back if active electronics?

    • Copper foil and what kind of conductive paint? Did you specifically cut the base and side pieces of copper (like copper grounding strap) to fit perfectly or just push it in and crumple to shape?

    • Braided cloth wiring? Yes? The reasoning behind this?

    This is a good one. It reminds me of the series of signs going up the 1/4 mile driveway towards the top of the hill where my house was at my old ranch.

    The first one read: "Do you believe in God?"

    A bit later, the second read, "Do you believe in Satan?"

    As you continued up that hill with a steep cliff along the side the third one read, "Do you believe in Samuel Colt?"

    Almost at the top, the last one read, "You're about to meet two of them."

    After that, you'd be in my reticle.

    The last release fixes many old annoying bugs.
    We put a lot of work into it, but we will wait for your feedback to be sure it matches your expectations.

    In the next release, we will work on composing threads.

    We have to fix:

    • Text selection and copy/paste when adding replies. The long press for opening the contextual menu is broken when threading.

    • Allow to automatically split a long text through a copy/paste into several messages ready to be posted.

    - technically a reintroduction

    Fixated Units is the name (no it isn't but it kinda is). Studied law and politics and media and philosophy at those wanky unis

    Cadetted in media and law firms and rounded up heaps of sheep. This one day we were droving sheep past a hillock on the side of the road (because it was a drought and the only place we could find feed) and a car spooked the front and they ran back around the hill and next thing we had a counter-clockwise mob of fucking sheep just going round and round the hill, all chasing each other with some leaping over the exact same spot even though there was nothing there. I just sat back exacerbated

    Anecdote that's also a metaphor. Anyhoo, I'm nice and look forward to this experience

    Prefer to discuss games and fiction and graphic novels, the balm on a country kid's soul, but here we are
