We found this at an estate sale. It's dated 1985 and has demo on the chip behind the plex cover. Anyone know what it is or of any value? http://tinypic.com/r/24azz2f/8[^]
I can't find any on ebay.

That is the "reader" side to one of the plastic card door unlocking entry systems.
No, that was utter BS based on my misunderstanding of something.
Here's[^] what the thing is.
Wow. "Dial-up" security. This must have been pretty cutting edge in 1984.

For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone other than Prince Charles would want to kill the Queen of England. Do we really need any more proof that these terrorists are crazy? Whacking the Queen is going to get your asses kicked by drunken football fans all over the freakin' UK. Jeez... talk about a really bad plan.
Even in America where we rebelled against the King of England - we know better than to potty mouth the Queen much less knife her. Thug an old lady? You don't think that wouldn't result in burning down every Mosque in London? *facepalm*

Stupidity has absolutely no boundaries. If they really want their asses kicked why not just walk out in the middle of a football field and scream "I hate soccer"?

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

In England! No one would know what you are talking about, only yanks and Oz call it soccer and Oz is being corrupted to calling the pansy game football.
We have 4 distinct codes and you guys have the armoured tank thingy all called footbal.

Not to try and stir the debate, but you do realise that the point is specifically to stir up a fight, right? It's not about ideology, it's about creating a common enemy.
This is why it's so important to name the specific organisation and not blame a race or religion. You need to work against those trying to unite disparate groups who would otherwise stay separate, not insult and persecute them and give them a reason to join.
(I see this thread headed straight to the soapbox...)

It seems like whacking the Queen (as a minority) would be like me going to Iran and burning a picture of Mohammad. Seems like a really bad idea that isn't going to get very far.

Yes, then they claim to be "martyrs", which they ain't.

I have to be honest, it sounds like bullsh1t.
PLOD A: I'm gettin' sick of that lary little Arabic kid.
PLOD B: Wot, the one wot knocks yer 'at off an' sez 'e 'ates the queen?
PLOD A: Yer.
PLOD B: 'As 'e got a knife?
When it gets to court, it'll either be revealed as a storm in a teacup and the kid will be released, or it'll be revealed as a storm in a teacup and the poor little sod will be sent to prison for the rest of his life anyway.
But this one kid who has a knife in his mum's kitchen has just assured that next year's sixteen billion budget for antiter'r'rorism will be available, and that yet more Draconian laws will be passed, to infringe the liberties of decent folk.

I know - it sounds like a bad tabloid article.
However, I did discover something that I'm amazed and appalled I didn't know, because it's so simple, so handy, and because I've been using Windows for ever. For. Ever.
Hover your mouse over the top edge of a non -maximised window like you're about to grab the resize edge and resize. Instead of clicking and dragging to resize, double-click. The window is maximised vertically.
Feel free to tell me that's so 2002, but I absolutely love finding out new things about something you think you know so well.

Try dragging the window edge to the top, it does the same thing.

Now try grabbing the window by the caption bar and dragging it until the mouse cursor gets to the right edge of the screen.

Yeah - I use an add-in on the Mac to do this because I miss it so much. Window+arrows do the same thing.
But my fave: grab the caption bar and "shake" the window.

That's what it is! I was sitting here trying to remember that magic trick.
One odd thing thing with the Explorer window. Even though it does not have the good old system menu icon in the upper left corner, you can still click where it is supposed to be and get the popup menu. Yeah, I know it's not quite as exciting .

I only get a window based menu there, nothing to do with Explorer specifically, and if I couldn't move or size a window without that menu, I'd go look for some train tracks to sleep on today.

I did say it is odd, not great . You can also double-click on the area to close Explorer, which is clearly a lot easier than clicking the [X] button in the other corner  .
