I'd suggest trying Glasshouse Breakout, if you can get it to work for everyone. The layout of that level makes for some fantastic "freedom runs" to free teammates.

My understanding is that the generated encryption key isn't created just as a function of the passcode. It's also a function of a hardcoded key in the phone's hardware that isn't directly retrievable. Without knowing the hardcoded key, you would have to search the entire keyspace of whatever encryp...

Worth a try in the face of no other options, perhaps.

But be careful - the data shows that naturopathic remedies only work as well as a placebo.

Wacky primary rules are intended to try to prevent bad situations, but they can just as often cause them or cause other issues.

What NPR poll are you referring to, woodchip? From the most recent one (dated today, 2/29/2016): About a third (35 percent) of adults say the law has directly helped the people of their state, while a quarter (27 percent) say it has directly hurt people. That article goes on to describe mixed result...

...how the money is being allocated... THIS.

fliptw, I believe he's referring to a known issue with sleep timers failing to put the machine to sleep. I had the same issue with a clean Win10 install as well.

As someone who actually taught at an urban school in OKC, I'll throw in my two cents: I don't have a problem with arming school staff conceptually.

My setup uses traditional cable, but that's more than enough to run six simultaneous HD channels (distributed around my home), which is more than the set-top-boxes from my provider offer.

Foil

It's across the U.S., as far as I know. According to Wiki , the FCC requires U.S. cable companies to support CableCard 2.0. Cable companies challenged this, but it went into effect in 2007. As to whether or not it ended up encouraging competition and innovation, I'm not sure. There are a number of t...

Hm. I currently already use a third-party solution rather than my cable company's set-top-box. I use a networked CableCard tuner to create my own distributed 6-channel-distributed-HD-DVR system at home. It saves me at least $30-40/month, although I have to do all my own support, and it required some...

Abortion is not a matter of convenience, it is a product of a sensible, responsible, and difficult thought process. That's quite an absolute statement. What makes you think that is always the case? The idea that it's "always a difficult decision" is as flawed as the idea that it's "a...
