Akura sounds like a weird kind of leafy green, doesn't it?

[Akura]

My stepdad's brother just handed me a laptop. Apparently, he managed to lock himself out of it by forgetting the password. Then he set up an absurdly long POST password(that he fortunately wrote down) thinking that would fix it. He's expecting me to get him access to it. First off, it bluescreens while loading Windows. Trying to run the repair utility, it shuts right off. The one time it didn't it required the password to access anyway. They're also assuming I have a repair disc on hand, I don't. And since while they were handing me the laptop, my stepdad insulted me, I'm not feeling particularly helpful.

Linux disc.

Either use sticky-keys hack to help.

Or use rm \. -rf to destroy.

The power is yours.

Dont dump it.

But suggest that people usually need some money to get a disk so they can burn a recovery disk.  And the program itself?  microsoft isnt a charity ...


"why do you think repair shops charge so much, bro?"

Magnet maintenance.  Guaranteed to clean your computer right up.

Permanently wipe that hard drive! Never need to wipe it again!

Watching spirit tracks walkthrough. Just... just noticed that at least two of the dungeon bits could, without much inaccuracy, be called "deep throat temple". Fish head things on walls, where you yank out and jam in swords to solve puzzles. It... it's more than a little suggestive. Why link. Why.

A wide knowledge of history is requisite because, among the ornamental parts of an architect's design for a work, there are many the underlying idea of whose employment he should be able to explain toGree inquirers. For instance, suppose him to set up the marble statues of women in long robes, called Caryatides, to take the place of columns, with the mutules and coronas placed directly above their heads, he will give the following explanation to his questioners. Caryae, a state in Peloponnesus, sided with the Persian enemies against Greece; later the Greeks, having gloriously won their freedom by victory in the war, made common cause and declared war against the people of Caryae. They took the town, killed the men, abandoned the State to desolation, and carried off their wives into slavery, without permitting them, however, to lay aside the long robes and other marks of their rank as married women, so that they might be obliged not only to march in the triumph but to appear forever after as a type of slavery, burdened with the weight of their shame and so making atonement for their State. Hence, the architects of the time designed for public buildings statues of these women, placed so as to[7] carry a load, in order that the sin and the punishment of the people of Caryae might be known and handed down even to posterity.

People were vindictive back in the day.

I guess we can push that death clock for our civilization back a few more years.
