Thats ok, I just used my technical reference.

Re:What the fuck???
However, if your idea of being able to use the evidence anyway got a legal foothold, any idea of a search being illegal would quickly go out the door, and the police would be able, in practice, to search anyone, anywhere they wished.
It sort of has already. By my interpretation, police are now allowed to get a warrant, and then break down your door without knocking. Any evidence will be admissible. It's not a warrantless search so there's still that check, and police need to be able to break in if no one is there or they're busy destroying evidence, but it's unfortunate they don't have to give you a chance to answer the door. -

A high school favorite:
integral of e^x = function(U^n)
or if calc was a long time ago for you: integral of e^x = function(U^n) -
Screw that, I'll make my own shots.

Yeah right ...At my school for the undergrad degree plan of "Computer Science Business" you _HAVE_ to learn COBOL. I hated every minute of it because it's a pain in the ass and antiquated and outdated. We have an entire department dedicated to the maintenance of IBM MVS 390 systems that basically run the entire school. Everything from registration to classes to payroll is handled through a slew of cobol programs and frontends all designed almost 20 years ago.
Basically the "Computer Science Business" degree plan is designed to make cobol monkeys for either the school, statefarm, kraft, or caterpillar who still rely heavily on cobol for day-to-day operations. What's the catch? In less than 10 years all the formentioned companies will be converted to either a
I hate cobol and I always will, if I ever see an VSAM or coding paragraph again I'll probably freak. I'd rather work at McDonalds than be a COBOL monkey. I don't think I'm alone with my views either, as this article proves. These systems are old, prone to crashes, and not supported by level one support anywhere. They have heavy maitenance price tags and it's for this reason that it is more economical for these companies to completely rewrite their systems. IBM Running on Linux will NOT save COBOL, it's a dead language, just some people still speak it.
Death to cobol you worthless language.

Re:What department is this?From http://www.wiu.edu/users/mucs14/SnowCrash.html:
EXCERPT FROM SNOW CRASH:
So there y'go
"They'll catch up," NG says. "On a straightaway, they can run at seven hundred miles per hour."
"Is it true they have nuke stuff inside of them?"
"Radiothermal isotopes."
"What happens if one gets busted open? Everyone gets all mutated?"
"If you ever find yourself in the presence of a destructive force powerful enough to decapsulate those isotopes," Ng says, "radiation sickness will be the least of your worries."
The conversation continues between Y.T. and Ng with Y.T. expressing concern over the manner in which these dogs' biomatter has been munipulated to include mechanical enhancesments and many destructive devices. She finds it cruel. Ng explains to her that these "mechanically assisted organisms" are the result of abandoned dogs taken in and sent to what amounts to as "dog heaven." [They are] "Chasing frisbees through the surf. Forever. Eating steaks that grow on trees. [and] Lying beside the fire in a hunting lodge." -
Heh ...If you want to avoid these situations
You can come work at my school, we haven't upgraded our computing system in nearly 18 years.
Western Illinois University UIMS
University Information Management Systems uses an IBM Multiprise 3000 model 7060-H50(S/390) processor to support host-based administrative information systems. The H50 system's suite of operating system software is based on IBM's z/OS. More..
The four members of the systems staff select, install, test, maintain, implement, and trouble shoot a wide variety of z/OS based products on test and production systems. Over eighty products from about twenty vendors make up this system. A separate z/OS system is maintained on the same machine for use by WIU students enrolled in programming classes. More..
While these systems may not seem so out of date you have to remeber they're all COBOL backwards compatible from 1985 and up. So don't like upgraded, don't do it! Upgrading to a new system would be completely impossible right now as tied in as the entire thing is. The best case scenario for switching to something not so old would be a phase out plan, which is not in place.
So obviously this doesn't affect EVERYONE! -

Slashdot, Andover and Tripod Cave AGAIN!!!Okay folks, they've done it again! The clams have succeeded in bending RobLimo, Taco, Cowboy Neal and the whole of Andover and VA Linux over and slipping it to them (How disgusting an image is THAT?) EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!
Here's the 'freekeith' Google cache
NOTE TO THE CLAMBOTS, WISE, The Poodle Korps and OSA/SeaOrg: Try and cancelbot/DDOS THAT, without tipping your hands to the SEC, the Bundeswehr, INTERPOL, Treasury or the FBI as to your TRUE level of control over Earthlink (NOTE to all others: Mouseover and check the link. It's http://www.netcom.com/pub/hk/hkhenson , one of Keith's sites shut down when they took over the Web!) and what you have planned for the rest of the Net
Who IS Keith Henson? Who is he? A patriot, a thinker, an eccentric, a brave and fearless man. From Caroline P. Meinel's classic, Guide to (mostly) Harmless Hacking"Picture 1980. Ted Nelson is running around with his Xanadu guys: Roger Gregory, H. Keith Henson (now waging war against the Scientologists) and K. Eric Drexler, later to build the Foresight Institute. They dream of creating what is to become the World Wide Web. Nowadays guys at hacker cons might dress like vampires. In 1980 they wear identical black baseball caps with silver wings and the slogan: 'Xanadu: wings of the mind.'"
That's right! Keith Henson was a member (and continues to develop) of the original Hypertext Projct, Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu. Therefore, it can seriously be argued that Keith is one of the fathers of the Web! (As well as as a thinker on space travel, a Life Member of the L5 Society, an original pioneer in the concept of 'Mega-Scale Engineering', a close friend of Dr. Richard Feynman, and a pioneer in the study of nano- and micro-technology, cryonics/cryogenics and technological Life Extension.) Further proof can be seen when Nelson's Appendix to his updated Xanadu Proposal also thanks Keith, directly, along with the other US XOC visionary, Roger Gregory. Other citations mentioning Keith include a citation from Johnathon Vos Post's 'Letter to the Editor' in response to Wired's 1995 'The Curse of Xanadu' Finally, from Xanadu's (original) timeline1994-current. Work continues on the second XOC fine-grain hyper-sharin transpublishing server, under Roger Gregory and Keith Henson.
Of course, Keith has had troubles in Riverside County before. But because of David Miscavaige (The Poodle), WISE and the other clam enterprises in Riverside County, as well as past allegations of government corruption and bribery (that started Henson on his crusade there), any thinking person can easily come to the conclusion that Riverside County is already in the control of the clams, and is now wholly compromised.
This great and brave man has fought and continues to fight these murdering fascists for us and his neighbors.
XenuBat has some of Keith's call-ins to KGO archived for all to hear. Here's some more of Keith's troubles with the clams, in his fight to get the FDA to admit that the clams were 'practicing medicine without a license.' (the famous San Jose 'NOTS' case).
Some of Keith's site other caches are these Google caches.
As for why Canada, here's a quote from the Google cache as to why:o In 1992, the Church of Scientology had become the first religious organization in Canada to be convicted of criminal conduct. Specifically, stealing documents from law firms, public associations and government entities -- and breach of trust. In addition, in the Casey Hill litigation, Scientology was ordered to pay millions of dollars to Canadian lawyer, Casey Hill, for slandering his reputation.
Keith and his family have been banrupted, harassed, threatened and assaulted. The clams continue to 'Fair Game' him (note the allegations of Child Molestation, a clasic of the clams against their enemies). Some other acts of clam terrorism against other individuals, all over the world. Here's Google's Scientology in the courts page.
Scary stuff, huh? That you can be sued to poverty for telling the truth and then jailed isn't the scariest thing, though. It's what they have planned for us wogs and SPs, if we don't knuckle under and begin to accept them for what they believe they are. The FBI still classifies them as a 'paramilitary' organization and, after the Aum Shinrikio incident, watches them for similar behaviors to Aum's, especially in Riverside County, California.
NOTE TO TACO and ANDOVER: Okay, you pussies knuckled under to these assholes once before. GET THE LINKS AND UPDATES OUT NOW, OR _EVERYONE_ IS GOING TO THINK YOU'RE PUSSYING OUT AGAIN!!!! Additionally, get rid of the OSA plants and the max-karma PoodleBots you were forced to accept. Kick these murdering, lying fascist slime out!!! Keep at least part of the net CLAM FREE!!!!!!!!!
