Re: Debian Linux Mint
You do know, for a couple of years, I used to climb radio and TV towers to replace the lamps. They only powered down the transmission from those antenna's for the 15 minutes after I neared the top light, and had to be next to the radiating antenna to change the lamp, and as soon as I was back down b...

Re: Vivaldi
I honestly don't think a company would invest billions of dollars in developing a product and building manufacturing plants for something they know the raw material, in this case oil, would soon run out. By the same token, as technologies change, so does the items we use as well. My great-grandparen...

Re: Hacking Linux
I used the Tizag and W3C School websites to learn how to write my own websites, including my first CSS file. It was only after I updated to HTML5 did I start using BootstrapCSS, and that was basically to make my website mobile friendly. I have a very hard time trying to understand MAN pages, or just...

Re: Apex Pro
Years ago, Logitech made this little handheld scanner, it only copied about a 3-1/2 inch wide area. But came with a stitching program to do portrait pages in horizontal passes and put them together as a page. I'm thinking this was back in the Windows 3.11 days. I bought it to copy obituaries out of ...

Re: Apex Pro
My wife's son is a gamer and besides having fancy computers that cost mucho big bucks, he has the keyboards and other gaming devices that go along with it. I'm usually typing all day long, which is why I wear holes in the spacebar and some of the keys, also my skin is fairly dry so probably works li...

Re: Hacking Linux
Oh no Yogi, I completely wrote my website from XHTML/CSS to HTML5 using Bootstrap. What I meant was I kept the layout as close to original as possible using the new CSS features. Yes Bootstrap uses W3C standards, but it is getting overly bloated. I know I can cut out just what I use, but it appears ...

Re: Vivaldi
On those points I agree!
It's just after working for MRTC and seeing how much Natural Gas they really do have under there, I was totally amazed.

Re: Debian Linux Mint
I used a fiberglass pole to move them around. Also, I'm usually only running 5 to 10 watts when tuning an antenna.

Re: Testy Tessa
I know for a fact the two newest computers at the library are EFI for sure. They boy went through every step to make his USB sticks for me. He didn't have to use a separate USB stick to save data, he was only saving the videos to the second disk. The work he was doing while that was running, he was ...

Re: Black Diamond Melon
I'm sure you know of most of the free movie and TV show websites. If not, I have a whole list here I got for the frau, and she rarely uses them. More often than not, she will ask me to download something for her to a stick she can just plug into the TV. About the only thing I watch on TV is a prerec...

Re: Testy Tessa
OK - The wife and I spent from 11:30 am until 1:15 pm up at the library. The whole time we were there, at least three of the computers were unused. Apparently school has started here. The guy I was hoping to see did not show up, and for the first hour or so, all the folks using the computers were on...

Re: Debian Linux Mint
You could be right Yogi, It could be at the peaks where the sine wave is farthest from the wire. Basically it is the points along the dipole that have the highest RF radiation leaving the wire. But it also works on the tips of verticals, and on the ends of tuned dipoles also. Doesn't matter if it is...

Re: Hacking Linux
Gedit does have a highlight mode which shows different html lines in different colors. It has been quite a while since I used it, so I don't remember exactly what and how it highlights off hand. I didn't see that it did anything any differently than BlueFish, only without all the extra windows on th...

Re: Apex Pro
Sounds like a keyboard that won't work at all on Linux machines. At one time I had a keyboard that all the switches and caps were replaceable. And each one had a little set screw to set the tension lighter or harder. Sounds good until you try to buy the replacement switches or caps. You could get th...

Re: Black Diamond Melon
Living here on a mountaintop, I have direct line of site to all the towers on Sharps Ridge, so reception via the rabbit ears is exceptional. My mom and dad lived in a HOLE, and even with outdoor beam antenna's got poor reception. In fact, his whole area got poor reception their first couple of years...

Re: Apex Pro
Don't laugh. The keyboards I found with the weighting of the keys I like is sold under the Gigaware brand by Radio Shack. RS sold them for like 39.95 without the backlight or 59.95 with the backlight. I bought an entire case without backlight so got them for 19.95 each. I only have one left. I got r...

Re: Hacking Linux
Honestly - How I learned what was needed on a web page was through the use of Open Office Writer and converting it to HTML. They didn't have all the extraneous code msWord added, so was easier to clean up. Then of course, by looking at other peoples websites, I learned a great deal more. I think I d...

This map takes a while to come and populate, but it shows where our oil and gas reserves are located. It does not include that which can be obtained by fracking, but actual reserves of oil and gas. https://certmapper.cr.usgs.gov/data/energyvision/index.html?config=config_Historical.json Trump tried ...

Re: Debian Linux Mint
I've seen a few videos of ball lightning. A good reason to have the gutters on your house grounded, hi hi. Normally, lightning hitting a tower won't harm the tower, perhaps a burn mark, but that's about it. The reason my tower came tumbling down after a lighting strike was fairly self-evident. It ha...
