AnchondO. Great local band in Omaha. They tour the entire midwest pretty constantly, have a great following, I believe make a living playing the music they love, and have never had a record contract.
That's not a union (speaking as an ASME member) its a professional organization for networking. There are no contracts with employers its essentially an excuse to pass standards and go to conferences once a year.
Not to Godwin the discussion, but this is exactly what is at issue when you deal with the Neo-Nazi movement in the US. The march they wanted to have in the town that is the highest per capita jewish population in the US. I would have liked to have seen that case reach the Supreme Court. The town refused to issue them a permit to march, which is unconstitutional, you can require registration, but they MUST issue on request.
Unfortunately, Chicago convinced them that marching there was more of an impact.
Anyhow, I definitely fall on the side of defending the right of people to say things that I wholeheartedly disagree with, since it means that the things that I say will never be the ones on the edge.
One major consideration that I didn't see addressed anywhere is the hot air return. You won't get very far just pumping air into the room if there's not an efficient way to get the hot air out. Major mistake that is often made. AC is a closed loop system. Its removing heat from the air it sucks into its return ducting. If the really hot air you're worried about isn't headed into its return ducting you'll get some minor benefit from it, but you'll do FAR better to direct the heated air TO the air conditioner.
I have filtered both Idle and samzenpus off of my front page since just idle wouldn't have filtered this crap, but samzenpus is responsible for I think every infraction of it. Please Slashdot, get some sense and don't present this face to the outside world. Remember that the first time you visit, you don't have an account. Remember that Slashdot isn't digg, reddit, fark, or anything else, its Slashdot.

I have no problem with his opinions, I've stayed out of the flamewars that have been created by his tone and vigor. I'm just pointing out that repetitive posting of an unbacked-up or "opinion based" argument (especially when its unrelated and very early on each thread) is trolling.
And its his typical drama troll whenever any story remotely about linux is posted, there's enderandrew within the first few posts mentioning how he doesn't like Ubuntu. Its nearly as bad as UbuntuDupe.
Visual hacks can't be avoided. Knowing the loot on the monster certainly could. At the end of the day, no matter how hard you try, I can still spend enough effort and black box engineer a client that looks identical to you. So every piece of data you send me, you send me. Obfuscating it doesn't change that fact. Its in ram somewhere, and will be read.
That's exactly my point is that its a design issue not a security one. So there are things you can't avoid. Make the payoff low and it really won't matter.
Nope, atheism in fact requires accepting nothing that cannot be logically proven. I hold the logically defensible position that there is neither a necessity for a god, nor proof of one's existence. Faith comes into play when you start inserting things into existence that there is no need for.
It is not FAITH to reject the existence of a proposition, that is called skepticism, the basis of the scientific method. Take a few semesters of logic, it will do you good in future encounters.
You're welcome to it, and to practice in your private life as you wish. I'm not telling you to print the laws of physics on the walls of city hall, so keep your religious rhetoric out of there too.
Let's have rational discourse about rational things and leave superstition to those groups who choose to indulge in it (churches would be a very appropriate place).
That's an issue of design not "security". The whole backwards concept of security against the user is what DRM has illustrated very nicely doesn't exist.
You can simply design things such that information is only revealed to the client when is appropriate. Any time you start giving the client info that should not be displayed to the user you open yourself up to these hacks.
If you've ever seen a roadkill deer sitting next to the road, and pictures of the supposedly mutilated cattle, its just how a dead thing looks after a few days of lying around given natural bacterial, insect, and scavenger activity. Discovery did a great job of debunking this one. I can't remember the show, but now that gas prices are high enough that roadkill doesn't get picked up regularly, just look at a deer the next time its been lying beside the road for 3 days. Exactly the same patterns.
Yes, but you see, we UNDERSTAND we're a minority, and simply want the majority of people's ACTUAL views to govern what goes on in the world. Whereas the religious nutjobs among us want their views stuffed down everyone's throat. I say do what you want in church, but keep it out of my schools, courthouses, and city halls.
Well, given that AD is inaccurate no matter how you slice it, and that there are those who don't follow christ anyhow (our Jewish friends to start, and us heathens and atheists to boot). And the fact that Christians are a minority in the world.
"The label Anno Domini is almost certainly inaccurate; "scholars generally believe that Christ was born some years before A.D. 1, the historical evidence is too sketchy to allow a definitive dating.""
Its not an infinite target, its a dialog, so "snapping to it" is not a particularly valid model. Also faster != better. Do you want the user to blindly click the dialog, or do you want the user to be accustomed to reading through his options until he finds the appropriate choice? Strange that with so much research done on the topic, every other gui toolkit disagrees.
Well then, why not put it in the same place relative to the bottom left corner? That would accomplish the usability goal you keep repeating while encompassing multiple other usability goals such as readability and proper order of information relative to use frequency. Sorry you have your head so far into your own paradigm that you can't think.
Thanks, I never even thought of trying that (sometimes it takes a bit to engage the brain while at work). Seems (with very minimal testing) to have resolved the issue.

Sorry to burst your bubble.
Don't mix metaphors. 1984 and Brave New World have widely different warnings if you think about them deeply enough to get them.

Just my 2 cents as a mechanical engineer.

That would be because this wasn't posted in idle, it was posted in books. God save us all.
This article (and thread) is in the Books section, not the Idle section, so the points are even more valid.
Yes, unfortunately, this is on Books, not Idle.
I have no problem with his opinions, I've stayed out of the flamewars that have been created by his tone and vigor. I'm just pointing out that repetitive posting of an unbacked-up or "opinion based" argument (especially when its unrelated and very early on each thread) is trolling.
And in the past week, you've posted in three if memory serves.
When its posted over and over and over again, without prompting or sufficient reasoning ever backing it up, just to get a reaction, that is trolling.
And its his typical drama troll whenever any story remotely about linux is posted, there's enderandrew within the first few posts mentioning how he doesn't like Ubuntu. Its nearly as bad as UbuntuDupe.

Again, not security, design.

If their "SUPAR SECRET" network encryption algorithm needs to be "SUPAR SECRET" to be secure, then its not. Security through obscurity != Security.
