Obviously you've never stood for jusry duty where a lie detector test was given. Its stated as a "Proven fact of misleading intent", throwing any doubt out of the window because you were just TOLD it was fact.
The US government can force you to take a lie detecter test in almost any federal issue (im 100% positive of this for military issues, can be wrong for others)....and peeing in cups is almost a standard practice in the US for drug testing...until hair folicle (sp?) testing becomes less expensive.
There are instances when you have no choice in the matter. The important thing to remember in those instances is to never admit to what you are being accused of irregardless of how accurate the examiner portrays the test.
Lie detectors don't detect lies, contrary to the device's name. They detect physiologal responses to stress, such as elevated blood pressure, pulse, respiratory changes, and sometimes body temperature. All of these things can be "faked". During the initial questioning process that they use to gauge your bodies responses, simply answer a question you know as being true while you clench your ass checks (change in respirations and pulse), or while you try to mimick pain (thumb tac under big toe concealed in shoe). Most lie detector tests ask the same questions in 2 (or more) cases-1 being the control (graphing your responses), and the 2nd time (trying to anticipate your lie). That way when you really do have to lie, your response seems more natural, thus providing false negatives for the test.
Any test that can possibly provide false results should never be used (IMHO) when the resulting information could possibly deny a man his freedom.
yawn already, don't you know how to read? your not accomplishing anything by trying to correct my spelling of the word your, it's already spelled right. At least make the point that I used the wrong word, or learn what a contraction is. As for the rest of you're arguement, if the pressure comes from outside of a CRT monitor, then why AFTER it implodes does it explode? Pressure is pressure, absolute or otherwise. I don't have to dig holes anywhere because my walls are lined with papers worthy of wiping my and your asses with; that say as far as electronic equipment goes I can repair/operate/build anything from your child hood electric car to $20 million dollar satallite systems...gotta love the military. Right now do you know what I do with my time? lol....I ensure the networks that your argueents started with about using to much bandwidth on (not excluding other service providers), as well as the network your land line phone calls are made on are up to the tasks that they handle so well. When your cable or gasp internet goes out, you call your service provider. When your service provider goes out...they call me. And since you figure I need to learn something, what do you think I should take up? Nothing to stupid please I've wasted 15 years of my life and thousands of your parents tax dollars on pointless shit already. If you think possibly that I'm making this up check a couple of the arguements I've helped squash so far, but then again you and I both know that sounding educated doesn't mean you are, now does it? Once again, make a plausible arguement, stop wasting my time, then read and show that you understand my sig. It cant get much clearer than that. After all, the only way I'd care what you thought about my spelling was if you were paying me.
PS there are about 7 spelling/grammatical errors made in this post just for you. Can you find them all? And now that I've wasted yet another 3 minutes of my life reading your post then replying, this is definitely the last time you will EVER have to worry about EVEN thinking about argueing with me....unless you go thru and search for my posts....you sound like the type though...here's looking at you!
Oh, and I just had to clarify something with you since you seem to HAVE to TRY and correct someone.
And "your" is still the wrong way to spell "you're". Acutally it isn't, but it is the wrong way to contract it. Thanks for the english class! Same time tomorrow?
You referred to relieveing pressure in our allegorical vacuum. If you read that page you linked to, you should understand that 'relieving pressure' in a vacuum is non-sensical. Re-read the information your trying to spin back on me. Here's an even better example to help you out. When you recycle a television the proper way, what do you think the techs do with the tube before they trash it? They pop it by the yolk to RELEIVE the pressure so that the tube doesn't implode. A perfect example of RELEIVING the pressure in a vacuum. Tell that same tech that releiving that pressure is non-sensical (much like you've attempted to do with the above post) and you'd be laughed at (much like you are being laughed at right now). Thanks for the chuckle...and as before...Good day.
FYI, I'm correcting you right now. FYI- I know your correcting me, that was the reasoning behind my reply. But I see now it fell on deaf ears as your still trying to correct me, as did everything Ive typed thus far. You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink. I've lead you to the facts, yet you still don't see the trees in the forest. This will be my last reply to you because not only does reading your replies waste my time, but trying to reason with a wall only leaves me scratching my head wondering why it's not speaking my language. Good day.
http://www.npl.co.uk/pressure/faqs/vacuum.html And I quote
There is no clear boundary between pressure and vacuum and the word vacuum simply refers to part of the pressure scale. Its definition is not precise but it is commonly taken to mean pressures below, and often considerably below, atmospheric pressure. What is particularly important, however, is to appreciate that a vacuum refers to a pressure measured with respect to zero pressure (that is an absolute pressure) and not with respect to ambient pressure or some other pressure. So get a clue.
And I cleared up my sig so you'd understand it better, which you dont because your still trying to be an english teacher. Get your Masters then try and correct me. Stop trying to sound smart about that which you have no idea.
Here's the last time its going to be broken down for you as your having a hard time understanding it. DON'T CAUSE A BURDEN ON THE NETWORK and you'll be fine. But I'm done bothering with this as I have no reason to ever worry about being cut off from my internet due to exceeding the bandwidth, I'm not a push the envelope just because I can kind of guy. Maybe you should take notes. Good luck with your internet troubles.
Let's make it easier for you:
http://www.comcast.net/terms/use.jsp
Network, Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations
Comcast may provide versions of the Service with different speeds and bandwidth usage limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Service plans. You shall ensure that your use of the Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other user's use of the Service, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Comcast) an overly large burden on the network. In addition, you shall ensure that your use of the Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, disrupt, degrade, or impede Comcast's ability to deliver and provide the Service and monitor the Service, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services.
You further agree to comply with all Comcast network, bandwidth, and data storage and usage limitations. You shall ensure that your bandwidth consumption using the Service does not exceed the limitations that are now in effect or may be established in the future. If your use of the Service results in the consumption of bandwidth in excess of the applicable limitations, that is a violation of this Policy. In such cases, Comcast may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your Service account or request that you subscribe to a version of the Service with higher bandwidth usage limitations if you wish to continue to use the Service at higher bandwidth consumption levels. In case thats still unclear:
http://www.comcast.net/terms/subscriber.jsp
Facilities Allocation. Comcast reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, and on an ongoing basis, the nature and extent of its facilities allocated to support HSI, including, but not limited to, the amount of bandwidth to be utilized and delivered in conjunction with HSI. Unless you are subject to a HSI service plan that expressly provides otherwise, we recommend that you connect only a single computer to HSI and that you disable file and print sharing and other capabilities that allow outside users to gain access to the Customer Equipment. So there it is. If you need to know the set limit you're already the type of person that's going to push the envelope and you need to pay $40 more for a business account for true unlimited bandwidth. The first disclaimer tells you:
You shall ensure that your bandwidth consumption using the Service does not exceed the limitations that are now in effect or may be established in the future. Now, IANAL, but that tells me that even if they did give you a set limit....they can change it whenever and however they see fit.
Your missing the point of my post entirely. I bet if Comcast didn't tell you how many channels you got for your money, but someone else (ME) told you it was on there website, you wouldn't be bitching and wasting my time....you'd be on thier website trying to find out how many channels you get. People like you are sorta funny to me. You need to see the wind to know its there. ROFL
We told them that back in the first quarter of last year. I guess they didn't get the memo. If someone HAS to upgrade, which could cost close to $600, just to utilize your new software....guess what....IT'S NOT GOING TO SELL VERY WELL!
Read your user servie agreement form that you agreed to upon installation. It can be found online at Comcast.net in the help sections. You guys act like this is something new...just because they didn't verbally tell you about doesn't mean its any less enforceable. You guys are slowly turning into the type of people that sue McDonalds because they're coffee burned them. The cup says its FUCKING HOT but you need more.
Not sure of the spelling on that last part so I figured I'd make it a word we'd all know how to pronounce. No its not a knock at the working girls...you know I love you lol!
) If you are going to try to describe something new please do not use existing terminology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_programmin g 2) Your desciption of what you are calling "Proceedurla Programming" actually sounds like Object Oriented porogramming (OOP). Once on the main features of OOP is getting rid of if/then/else code, another main feature is creating objects to deal with actions.
Perhaps using OOP "properly" is new to game programmers, or perhaps I just don't understand what you are saying because of the poor use of terminology. But to me you have said that Spore is written object orientedly. #3 by blackperl on August 5, 2007, 1:12 pm Reply to this users post If anybody ever runs across this article when doing searches for procedural programming, please understand this article is full of inaccurate and misleading information and you should discard the information presented here and continue your search elsewhere, or feel free to verify my statement through your own research. This does not accurately describe how Spore functions, what procedural programming is, or how code is written for games. So hmmm....maybe try again?
It doesn't matter if your correction on a spelling mistake was an attempt at humor or not, its still an attempt at correcting someone, for a mistake they made. As I see it, an account on slashdot does not make you a teacher, so you have no right to correct anyone but you and yours. Unless of course its regarding an aspect in a field of study that you believe yourself to be an expert in (like me and communications).
If you don't like getting insulted (which it wasn't meant as one, but if you took it that way oh well), don't insult others intelligence by correcting thier mistakes. I'll take all the -karma anyone wants to throw at me in an attempt to make those that belittle someone else (even in the of a small laugh) are treated likewise. Flame bait or no flame bait it matters not.
And for my last point. You must have either smoked to much in your childhood/adulthood or your high now or your listening to the under informed crowd. The 420 in my name does not reflect drug use (maybe in your eyes), but its actually refering to the communications van that I cut my teeth on in the Marine Corps. Maybe that assumption came from the same place as the one that has you thinking it's ok to correct someon that didn't ask for your help, and probably didn't need it. Because I sure don't see what gets you motivated. Do you sit there thinking, "Hey look, another spelling error....and wow noone's corrected him...this one's all mine!"? The house arrest part came from actually working in the van. 120 hours in an 8'x4' van filled with equipment will make anyone feel like they're under house arrest.
And you don't have to worry about offending me, I'm not the type of person to get offended over anything, that takes emotion of which I have very little, time on the other hand...is a different matter. I was just redirecting your energy back towards you. I guess I should have tried to be funny about it?
If this at all sounds negative towards you...don't take it personally, that'd be your first mistake, it's just the type of person I am. I've done it to every would be english teacher I've come across in any community. To bad, that for the most part it won't do anything. For as many bad spellers as there are, there are twice as many would be english teachers, with grammer nazis falling in right behind.
This is news for nerds, give me an article, give me a forum blog, give me something to inspire...don't feed me nouns and predicates.
Only part of your gait is determined by its "hinges" (maybe you meant pivot points). Because if the only factor in your gait is your "hinges", then you and everyone else in the entire world would have the same gait. Most of your gait is due to how far you muscles allow you to stretch your legs forward or backward, because without muscles the only deciding factor on your gait would be the length of your legs.
Oh....wait a minute. You were trying to be funny by correcting his spelling! lol now i get it. I guess I wasn't the only one your humor was lost on as you've only managed a score of 2....and not even a funny score of 2.
How is this news again? If you have enough knowledge to post a slashdot article, its certainly not your first time here, and one would hope you saw the SAME issue from 3-6 days ago.
Wireless technology is just not yet ready to be deployed in physically dense environments. This is where most people are missing the big picture, and I'm not saying you are, just people in general. Everyone has gripes about wireless, from the unreliablity to the lack of competent security...but guess what? Wireless technology, in all its 10 years of deployement, is still in its INFANCY. Look at what we're STILL learning to do with computers! And how long have they been available? SO, to hope a complete wireless network will never happen would be like people back in the day wishing we didn't start putting toilets IN the house because they thought it would stink! Its going to happen, and trust me, when we get it down its going to be flawless. Want a bag of popcorn? Throw it in the microwave, and ten feet down the hall on your way back to the couch turn on the mic with your thoughts! Watching tv but want to surf the net on trusty old betsy instead of your tv?? Point your remote at your computer and push power. Its coming. But don't misquote me by thinking its happening within the next ten years. We've got a ways to go yet. But we're pretty close. I mean, how many more games of chess is that parapalegic going to play with his mind before they say we can now control computers with our thoughts?
It might even product the 20K a year one needs to live in the US.
Where the hell in the US do you live??? And do you have a room for rent?
I remember making 30k and wondering where the hell I was going to get the money for my son's meals at school that week. I guess with more money comes more things to spend it on, but I didn't start feeling secure with the amount I earned until I hit the 40k mark, and even that was mostly due to the investments I made while I was still in my teens.
20k is barely even entry level pay, I definitely wanna know where you live lol.............or maybe I don't, I can't decide lol.
You cannot even move an NTL modem to a HFC that terminates on the same CMTS, but a different interface in the same area Well, that just sucks. They've got to be doing it for some reason....but not for one I can figure out.
How about dropping one of the big lego heads onto a zombie and watching them bounce off of walls endlessly? That was funny for the whole 15 minutes I watched it lol!
