"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

the case is sheet steel, the internal chassis is also steel, fucker weighs between 100 and 150 pounds

even the XL1201 "desktop" is super heavy because it's also sheet steel and steel, it just has a 2-slot instead of 7-slot 9U VME chassis

do you have like some kind of muscle disorder like sam jackson in Unbreakable?

have you ever tried to bend a piece of sheet metal before?

it doesn't take a lot to deform thin steel. the metal of that case is probably about 2 to 3 times the thickness of that in the wall of a can of beans

you got me by taking my post about superman literally. ups doesn't suck after all for roughing up a package harshly enough to leave large indentations in its steel case. gently caress, i really got owned here

We have a Windows 10 test system that is running on the admin account. Admin account can't open metro apps.
I accidently opened the sticky notes app and it gave me an error and never opened the app. however, it did manage to add that app to the startup entry ... somewhere. I can't find it anywhere.
Now everytime the system boots i just get an error about how the app can't be opened but i can't figure out how to kill it

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
