Country folk have to be very good at looking out for their neighbors.

When emergency services response time is over 20 minutes, it's not like you've got a lot of choices.

Sadly, that kind of response time isn't just in the country.

Even though modding projects like JKK's caused 7" touchscreen add-ons to sell out within weeks when the first Eee PC came to market last year, making clear this should be a built-in feature, unfortunately it is missing from the new edition nonetheless, though the review for some reason neither discusses nor deplores its omission.

Anyone coming e.g. from a Psion or Nokia Communicator will know what a difference a touchscreen makes on small devices, and would surely have appreciated it at least as an option.

The RIAA's advantage would be mostly neutralized with A New Kind of Justice, a minimalist set of civil procedure rules designed to stop "bullying" lawsuits (among other things.)

Under ANKOJ, escalating the claimed damages would put them at increasing peril, and would make it easier for a defendant to hire a lawyer.

Simple and complex is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. I'm a biochemist and have primarily worked on protein structure and enzymology. To me, anything under 1,000 Da is small (and I suppose it follows, simple). My brother however has an extensive background in physical chemistry and modeling compounds in excruciating detail like how a "big" (complex) molecule like say ethanol (46 Da) interacts with a catalytic substrate. His concept of big and my concept of small as far as chemistry goes don't even overlap!

Another thing that you might find interesting is that DNA and RNA are arguably really simple molecules. A sugar group, some phosphates, and four different bases that just repeat. It was actually a major debate into the 1950's as to whether protein or DNA was the true genetic material. The point against DNA at the time was it's simplicity! However two experiments put that idea to rest: the Avery, MacLeod and McCarty experiment put forth good evidence in favor of DNA, but it wasn't until 1952 that just about all the "DNA's too simple" skeptics conceded with the Hershey-Chase experiment.

When i read this, i felt the need to puke. This guy says he is together with his girlfriend for two years and want to marry her but yet he does still not know what she likes. And in order to find out he shows a total lack of integrity and installs a keylogger on her machine! This is a cruel break of trust. I really hope she finds out and tosses him. This is imho absolutely sick behaviour. And whats even worse that he apparently is even proud of his act of dishonesty and blogs about it.

I RTFA, and it's actually an accurate summary of his speech. It really sounds like the guy honestly believes the crap he's spewing.

but we are not yet ready to play by the rules; but this needs to work the other way round too

Companies like Nokia need to learn the open source way of working. This means not only fulfilling the letter of GPL, LGPL etc. but also the spirit. In my mind this means integrating the corporate work with the open source community, participating, contributing back the code, building the code in open projects and not only releasing it when mandatory, not forking, etc. Open source is a very effective way to create software together with others; together with other individuals and other companies. This is something that the corporate must learn to really benefit from open source.

As part of a general security program, an information security policy can help to reduce exposure to legal liability for break-ins. . . .

Despite the fact that I explained the script for the cheap illuminati theater "Comeback kid Clinton 'elected' the last president of the US" aka "BushClinton, the last antichrist", and "Clinton suspends campaign, endorses Obama" as the final chapter before the curtain falls (1), the sheep don't get a thing.

"Clinton suspends campaign, endorses Obama" theater explained
This is nothing but an act to sell better Clinton, using the mind control technique of acceptance by association.
To better sell the "victory" of 5 pct Clinton, she is previously (i.e. now) sold as the candidate who, despite having received "more votes" (2), was a "victim of the delegates system", and yet was such a "fair player" by calling her "crowd" to fully stand behind Obama.
So when next the curtain will fall, it will be easier to have the sheep cheering what they just watched on stage.
In other words: when after the coming "scandal" chapter "forcing" Obama to exit the "race", he will appeal to his crowd to "stand with all their forces behind Clinton against McCain".

As I explained previously, you, the sheep, are long past the point of still having any chance to understand any illuminati theater until you will be slaughtered. (3)
Because you accepted to carry the mark of the beast.

The findings of the analysis you mention are quite debatable in meaningfulness as well as accuracy. Also, did you ever stop to think that maybe people are interested in voting for a liberal? I know I certainly am, Obama is not liberal enough for plenty of people myself included but he's a damn lot better than the "Maverick" "Straight-talker" who's sold himself out since the years I used to be able to respect him very highly even if we differed on opinions.

Furthermore, where the hell are you getting 400 billion barrels? The Wikipedia article has at the highest estimation that I could find (assuming you are speaking of the same location I found, and if I'm not I apologize but please cite your sources!) is very very very low compared to your figure, and that's 167 billion barrels. That's less than half, and quite a discrepancy. Nevermind that the issue at hand is finding an alternative and finding it fast not prolonging the inevitable for our corporate fat-cat buddies like Bush & Co have been doing these past 8 years. We need real solutions, not stopgap fantasy.

Not only that but as has been pointed out you are not being honest at all with what it means going after those shale formations. We can do better than tearing up our natural scenery to keep a dying enterprise (The oil industry) afloat. Again, real solutions please.

The real reason gas is so expensive, that no one is talking about, is that Bush borrowed so much money to fund his tax cuts and the war in Iraq that the dollar has been plummeting against the Euro and Yuan. Nice republican talking points there, but sorry, this isn't Fox. We actually check our facts.

Legally speaking, what is "reasonable security?" FTC fined TJX for not having it, but I disagree. Verizon says 9 of 10 data breaches could have been avoided if reasonable security were present. That implies 9 in 10 breach victims were in violation of law. The study's outlook is that the solution to identity theft is locking down corporate data. But a security consultant/solution provider like this Verizon unit naturally sets a high bar for what is reasonable. And when Verizon evaluates whether reasonable security could have prevented a break-in, it does so with the benefit of hindsight. Yet the study goes on to say that in modern systems knowing where all your data reside is "an extremely complex challenge." In other words, the shere problem of keeping up with the location of data (so you can apply security) is very expensive, and mistakes by data-holders who act in good faith are easy. The reasonable measures expected by FTC and Verizon are extravagantly hard to implement in practice. Hence, the portion of incidents preventable by FTC/Verizon's reasonable procedures is much lower than 90%. We need to focus more attention on other solutions to identity theft. --Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/03/ftc-treats-tjx-unfairly.html

• ext3 is nice and reliable, and there are ext2 drivers for Windows and OS X.
  
• HFS+ comes with OS X, and it works in Linux, but the standard way to run it under Windows seems to be via a $50 piece of software.
  
• NTFS comes with Windows, and it works in Linux (on Ubuntu you just plug in an NTFS drive and it works). On OS X you can use the FUSE NTFS-3G port to OS X.
  

Not to disagree with you, just wanted to point out that this law is not popular in Britain.

IIRC the Lords can bounce this back (with good reason) to the Commons, by the time this goes back and forth a couple of times the media will be in a good frenzy about it. The fact that Gordon Brown had to do a deal with another political party to get this through is not going down well:

But there was uproar in the Commons as the result of the key vote on 42 days was announced after five hours of tense debate - with Tory and Lib Dem MPs shouting "You've been bought" at the DUP benches.

They claim the DUP was offered a string of inducements - including extra financial help for Northern Ireland - to guarantee its support.

I for one am hoping this gets pushed back by the Lords.

--- Back to the article ---

this is the same country that charges prisoners who have been falsely accused for bed and boarding costs.

Got a decent reference? Seriously, that link is to the 'Daily Mail', the sensationalism in that paper is renowned. Even its founder (Lord Northcliffe) said its winning formula is to give readers: 'a daily hate'. This is the same paper that pays foreign people to break the law, so they can report about how East Europeans are 'destroying Britain'.

Here's a crazy thought .. instead of spending tens of billions to develop something like this (and billions more on other warsa nd weapons) why don't we remove our troops from the Middle East and stop meddling in their affairs to the point where we get thousands of people so pissed off at us they are willing to hijack planes and kill themselves to make their anger at us known. Just a thought ...

Here's a crazier thought. I'll make you a deal. If you're right, we do it your way. If I'm right, we do it my way. We start off by assuming you're right.

If I were emperor, I'd do that. That's right, if I were emperor, I'd forego my personal opinions about them and play it your way. But only on one condition. I'll play it your way if, when they inflict more than 100K casualties in a single incident, you admit I was right all along, and you forego your personal opinions and play it my way.

I don't know which of us is right here. As an engineer, I'm inclined to play it your way anyways -- because if you're right, we both win. Both sides walk away from the table, and nobody dies.

If you're wrong, and I'm right (and I hope I lose our little bet), we lose 100K people and they lose 1,000,000,000.

Do we still have a deal? Not that my last name begins with "O" (or, not that he has a hope in hell of getting the Imperial throne, "M"), but I'm genuinely curious - if you had the power to do so, would you cut such a deal with the Emperor? Namely, we play it your way with good-faith peace initiatives until the first nuke goes off. If that nuke never goes off, we keep playing it your way because it's working. But if that nuke does go off, we shrug our shoulders, hoist the black flag, commit the requisite genocide ten times greater than Stalin and Mao combined, and move on.

The only winning move is not to play. You and I both realize that. It's up to us to convince them. But I'm still curious about whether you'd cut such a deal. Even though the stakes are, at most, an admission of saying "OK, dude, I was wrong" in some Slashdot thread a decade from now.

Yes, they found lots of personal effects from passengers on the planes, including those of CeeCee Lyles, a flight attendant who faked a phone call to her family while the 'hijackers' were pretending to take over the plane. She then faked her death in the impact of United Flight 93, landing at a secret airport and she remains in hiding today.

This car would have to be renamed if it ever entered my country, Portugal, just like what happened with Opel Ascona -- ascona reminds slang for vagina, I heard kids would remove the 's', thus getting "a cona", which literally means "the cunt" :-).

My brother lives in Canada, and one of my sisters in Austria, and I've been to both.

As my brother tells it, he had never been exposed to gun violence before, nor to the US (and to a lesser extent, Canadian) gun culture. He even blogged about it: http://mrhathouse.blogspot.com/2005/11/my-2-cents-when-you-live-abroad-you.html

There are plenty of other crimes going around in our native Uruguay, but gun control has worked out pretty well I'd say (there are some pockets of poverty where guns are prevalent, but it's nothing like what he tells me he sees in Canada or the US). I didn't see crime during my stay in Canada firsthand, but a man did die of a gunshot just by walking on the wrong sidewalk in a place I had been walking by just a few days before, and I did see a black guy arrested and being badly handled by a policeman on Bloor Street.

By comparison, while I was in Austria (more than 6 months in total), the highest point in violence was that a nearby shop was robbed. The police response was astonishingly swift, they promptly surrounded the area and the thieves were caught - and that was quite the event.

From my anecdotal evidence, comparing US/Canada with at least central Europe, I'd say Europe looks safer by a mile. I'd even dare say that you're more likely to die from a gunfight in the US or Canada than in Uruguay even (you're way more likely to be robbed in Uruguay though).

well maybe you took this evidence course
