Ummm... but the computer is a mainframe in another building behind physical security and I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to flip that switch.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

There're physical power lines between the grid and the building. Borrow a backhoe to disconnect them. You can do the same for the connection to the sites emergency generator. This will trigger a reboot as soon as the mainframe's UPS dies. If the site has a generator this will probably only take a few minutes since the generator would be the primary backup.
Sheesh! Why are you making this so difficult?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

switch to using the terminal next to it - your session will time out in half an hour. When that happens vi will be closed.
Or you could call the operators and tell them your session has been disconnected - can they kill it

And I think this highlights the real reason why most so called “cat lovers” are attracted to cats;
They are a pet that you do not have to invest very much effort into.
A cat is a pet for people who can’t really be bothered caring for a pet.
Clearly a statement of a human, who never really had a cat for a pet.
Cats may not need to take them out for walks, but surely you need to take care of them
-each day you must clean their bio
-take care of water, food
-take care of their daily exercise(most fun part of the day including a small ball for cats) [If you don't they will remind you in 3 am in the morning next day]
-give your pet a fare share of attention (petting, holding etc)If you don't they will be angry at you, and you don't want to have an angry cat for a pet, you just don't.
And kids don't forget, even if you do some activity not involving your cat (for example reading), if you are caught, it will become a cat involving activity

That's one way of doing it, alternatively you could just be like our neighbours who have three that all just roam the streets 24/7 and spend 99% of their time in our front garden.

Jeez, this guy really doesn't like cats - or dogs for that matter.
I don't care if he is a "comedian" - if this article is an attempt at humour, he really fails, and if it's not, then he is seriously disturbed.
In my opinion, a person who is so cold that he can't care for a living creature, no matter if it's a cat or a dog or something else, is not a good person. He's off my christmas card list for sure!

Hi All,
I know Windows has short cut keys and I do use them on desktop machines, but on Embedded systems (PC104 etc.) at times you just haven't got a spare port, spare mouse to use, ability to reboot with out loosing the state. I was wondering if there is a keyboard mouse emulation mode ala the Amiga (as I remember it left A (amiga)key and the arrow keys) gave you control of the mouse pointer (not very accurate but...) is there a similar thing in Windows?, just wondering that's all.

Oh good, I though my Google-Fu was having a day off!, as I said I don't really need it, it's one of those things you wish you had when something goes wrong. On the Amiga it only tended to used (by me at any rate) when you had two joysticks plugged in and there was a problem at boot up (bleedin' hard disc)

Turn on Mouse keys feature?
|
|
|
|

Hmmm, that might do it I will have a look thanks, had a look it's based on the number pad, which is fine if you have a number pad/or a keyboard which emulates a key pad...
