From I bet you didn’t know this department

Ctrl-alt-del, the three finger salute has an official name. It’s SAS or “Secure Attention Sequence”.
I learned that from Microsoft’s Tablet PC site.

C1. A Tablet PC without an attached keyboard must support a single, dedicated, non-overloaded hardware mechanism for generating the Secure Attention Sequence (SAS), also known as "CTRL+ALT+DEL" or "CAD." C2. If the SAS button is implemented as a Human Interface Device (HID), the HID-compliant button driver must provide a keyboard collection to report the SAS event.

Ask Ahnuld

A bit of mindless link propagation.

(Notice, his hand is on a wrong knee).
You can actually ask Arnold a question.

Need To Move

My rent is up and I am completely fed up with the building where I live. I definitely need to move.

The real-estate market is at it’s peak, and buying now is probably stupid. Still, I am looking.

How about this? Nice, huh? And just 245K.

Seriously though, does anyone know a good realtor (actually it’s Realtor® , but I hate them so much.. ) in Sheepshead Bay?

Billdows

“Windows” is a much better name than “Linux”. It could be “Billdows”. Or “Gatesix”.
