It was my spare drive causing the issues!

I figured out that I did not have the correct setting in the BIOS to enable drive 0 on the 1st ide bus. Then I kept having installation issues.

I swapped back the SSD and installation went flawlessly!

This is a desktop btw.

It is using IDE drives, no sata ports at all. The Ram is DDR 400MHz.

It doesn't even have an AGP slot, only 3x PCI slots with a 56k modem card in one of them.

There is a bios setting for "os install" which limits the amount of available ram, I believe that is for older os's. This one shipped at the very end of windows xp in around 2005.

I looked over the caps and didn't see anything. I did figure out that the HDD problem was simply a BIOS setting. The settings are not intuitive.

Ah, you see, in order to get around the 4th amendment there are companies that lease license plate cameras to the government, the government then pays a subscription to that company in order to access the collected data.

Any other subscribing agency can look at the data, including local police in Texas.

It wouldn't be legal for the government to track you like that without a warrant.

The law states that it's not illegal for one to give information to any law enforcement agency, however what people do in Illinois is their own business.

I like tinkering, it's meditative to me.

I swapped the system battery with a good one. Maybe it's losing something on restart when the install actually completes.

Cool, I'll try that instead. I didn't think it could do that.

Edit: that might require a bios update as I don't see it as an option under "boot sequence"

It's not like it would be hard to figure out either. You know she has a DUI conviction on x date, you know the amount of time that you have to wait to get your license back after that, it's basic math.

According to my reading I believe it will make third party licence plate camera collection more limited. It should hopefully prevent states with abortion bans from accessing information about license plates that come into Illinois for the purpose of prosecution since that information would cause those people harm and they have a right to abortion in Illinois.

FB intentionally breaks their mobile site so that you have to use the app for most features.

Not only that, but I guarantee that Ice machine is the most disgusting thing in the place.

When I worked at McDonald's I would "kill them with kindness" my manager would get calls from people so pissed off because I would escalate the niceness to match their enragement.

Customer: "you can't do anything right!"

Me: "Have a wonderful day!"

Gets them mad for sure.

It's enabled in the beta version, although limited to a small number of extensions.

On a side note, have you considered affiliate links to support the site? I'm usually against them, but if it would help the site and they are genuinely good products that everyone here supports, then I wouldn't be averse to using them. Although I believe affiliate links are not as lucrative as they used to be.

No more loose charging ports.

Could have had superior BNC, pathetic.

You gotta speak to your audience.

America loves small cars... When gas prices are way up. Remember the VW beetle? I remember during the great recession when gas was up to $4 a gallon, suddenly everyone wanted a small, fuel efficient car.

Thank you! I absolutely hate how news agencies just don't give sources. I guess they can't lie to you if you can easily see the truth.
