I think there will be many of those old boards around if not on E-Bay alone. I haven't looked within the past dew years but before I retired my older XP boxes I installed new boards and CPUs/RAM. You're bolder than I if you'll buy a MB off Ebay. Ebay's ok for memory, CPU/coolers, although I only do new MBs (they're weird, too, and have to be careful they're not being sold for new from storage of extremely old stock). That's exactly my problem. I am out of the house from 4 AM to 5 PM every day and just don't seem to have the time to do more of what I want. I have 3 ole ladies to support so I'll be in that salt mine for some time to come. They told me I didn't have to go, but I couldn't see a further financial need or point for continuing to work anywhere unless there's some sort of moral/personal value to committing myself. I'm only accountable for my own needs. Though others might recognize them for withal an end, there's a likelihood they wouldn't subscribe to them. Last year a woman I provided for on occasion basically couldn't take it, even though she wanted to stay. It's even easier than that. Just stick a card ina slot and you're on your way. http://www.bigsecurity.com/geovision...FYaRHwodnWYAcA Looks good. Are you sure she didn't see you first and had her stash in that stroller, maybe that's where she kept the rest of her wardrobe. Next time she strolled by, during the day, her accompanying husband was looking at tools behind where I was seated in accustomed filthy clothes in front of the garage. I waved. Believe she was looking straight ahead. You might be surprised at what some of the night vision cameras can do. I have one called a license plate camera and can see mice running around being chased by a cat on a hill beyond my land. While most cameras do have IR lighting I have lamps that illuminates the areas on all sides. http://www.directron.com/ltir200r.html?pgrab=1 Knew somebody who had them installed on his car for catching all angles after expressing a sense of being railroaded by a judge from an accident he'd contested but lost. Police in general, he said, absolutely hated the idea, upon seeing what he'd done and often would become aggressive for no other apparent reason than that he'd taken himself accountable for direct and impartially recording his driving habits. Funny how that works with an means available now for a nickel/dime cost in a pervasive industry of security recorders. I'd think people, to further add a dimension of the "black box" video recorder gear, much like mandated on not only a VIP jet, some with extravagant and prohibitively expensively landbound vehicles, would saddle up right off to such a notion, like cotton candy is to the traveling carnival's ambient appeal. |

Ebay's ok for memory, CPU/coolers, although I only do new MBs (they're weird, too, and have to be careful they're not being sold for new from storage of extremely old stock). Actually I've never bought a board from Ebay. I was simply commenting on the idea that they will always be around. I'm not really a fanboy of Ebay. I do know those that are. I did buy my dash cams from a seller located in South Korea. I don't think there were any sellers locally as S.K. have all the experts of that product. America is behind the rest of the world when it comes to dash cam usage. I've had mine for several years now and just now are the rest catching on. The ones I use are called Black Box devices as they also have GPS locating and mapping. Your location is displayed on the video along with a map of your trip. I have a pair of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/1210861...lpid=82&chn=ps That's exactly my problem.

Recently I was stopped for not using my turn signal at 5am with one truck and myself on the highway as I attempted to over take him at slow speed. They noticed the devices but said nothing. They did complain about not using my signal. There's no reasoning with them so I didn't try. I like the new idea of all police wearing them. Let's black box them all. |

Over time, at least where I was, there was less room for error. Not that, usually, they were overdemanding. That usually came early, for fresh and younger people willing to climb the ladder and fit in, volunteering and putting in the extra effort and time, often with foremen and supervisory positions for their efforts if demonstrating concise work habits and an ability and willingness to handle more. There was also a union, so it was very tightly structured, (supervisory positions of course excluded from membership), and loose guns (often military officers or similar who would variously come in) usually found themselves at odds with a union steward or proceedings that could get very nasty. Keep your nose clean and nothing much can happen, IOW. So, after awhile anything less than (continued) top-notch performance reviews seemed inexcusable. I made too much money from saving habits and outside activities, and eventually exceeded the prospect of continuing to draw a salary. But I know some that continued along apparently for no other reason than a comfort in what they were doing. I've worked a lot in corrective situations, helping with how a spread and flow of necessary personnel are applied to restore order. Can be demanding and so forth, not necessarily something especially compensated or recognized, because such situations are a normal part of operations, and it never stops. 24/7. Used to, did work at airports directly on the flightlines with last-ditch aircraft failing at a take-off, working directly with the flight-control tower operators, and tend to like the challenges of situations going from out of to back and in control. Damnably funny feeling when eventually seeing someone they had hired to replace me manning operations, even though I approved, believe I could tell for a quick once over, that he had the right stuff -- conscientious and serious. Could deal with the heat. But they were getting somewhat better about fielding applicants;- dunno, it was more directly personal for me, then less political and standardized, and I might not have made the position had I to take current application testing or field what standards a panel interview might entail. |
