Driver license test questions
those of you with licenses, do
you recall *anything* either
in handbooks or the computer
tests that directly related to
pedestrians or cyclists?

Yes and I understnad that, in NSW, at least on ofthe 36(?) random(?)
questions now asked must relate to these. Of course, t is a few years
since the new electronic system was set up.

Terry, it's the boxtard again, nicking content from a previous post I made a longtime ago.

Terry, if thunderbird has a half decent implementation of killfiles,
kill on the regexp:

X-HTTP-UserAgent: .*MSIE .*; AOL 9\.0

That gets most of Bratton's [censored], such that I haven't had to read an
utterance of his in years.

I knew it was the idiot, but the intelligent content fooled me. I
thought I should reward the sane posts in a vain hope.

Sadly not. Only address filters.
I use thunderbird because of its ability for deep sub-directory
presorting on mail. I need to seriously research a new newsreader
though, but it is kind of still way down the to-doo list.

DLT drive to make it spit out the tape' I'm almost ready to try the cat
brush on it>

At the risk of suggesting it doesn't have all sorts of wonderful ways
to annoy you, it might be worth your looking into Pan.

BFO screwdriver, remove the case, pull tape out IIRC. I do remember
pulling a few dead tapes out of drives over the years, but can't remember
the details.

Okay, playing with it now for news.

Basically did that. Had to toggle a latch for the front handle, rattle
tape, then re-insert and power on. Loh, it repsonded to the eject tape
button this time with no christmas lights. Now to give it a hammering to
work out if it is going to be an annoying intermittant, or it safe to
order another 20 new tapes.

Oh, that's easy. It will work during the hammering, but will fail on
the first of the 20 new tapes.

I don't believe I didn't have to poke siggy with a BFO screwdriver to
get the text below...

eiter they are haunted orthe root cause is something else (aka scsi card
or the cable>

Tr as I might, I can not think of any bicycle(s) that have ever done
anything like this.
