and one other glaring problem how about those diesel engines with mechanical fuel pumps... how do you electronically shut those down if they do not have electronics. I suspect this is more security theater than actual security. Although the coast guard has came up with a pretty good solution to stop people not stopping for them... a large caliber bullet through the engine.....
We have two major parties in the US, and they ultimately have to decided by themselves who is going to be the candidate that they want to run for president in the 2008 election, or who gets their party's nomination. Delegates or pledged delegates are appointed based on a size of a state and how each state voted in the primary (a mock election so that every individual has the opportunity to throw their support towards the candidate they want to run for president). The number fo pledged delagates is much less than the population of the state. Pledged delegates will vote as the state voted rounded to the nearest whole delegate. Super delegates are members of the party, that for one reason or another are given the opportunity to have their individual vote count as much as a delegate's. Then each party holds a national convention to nominate who is going to represent that party as their candidate for president. The nomination is made by all the delegates (super and pledged) voting at the convention. At this point I should remind you that we have a representative democracy, and every so often the people get to choose their representative. However there is nothing that guarantees that the representative will vote according to the people's needs/ wishes.
I think I remember them, they were called notebook computers. I am a firm believer that if you can afford to have both a desktop and a laptop then the laptop should be about the size of a 100 pg spiral notebook. I do not carry all my engineering books with me when I travel, why carry all my files with me when I travel. Take what you believe you need to perform your business and if you find that a certain file would be good for the clients to have then send it to them via email when you get home.
exactly.. the RIAA can only suggest that it looked like a duck. Since they have yet to go after someone by actually downloading a song from a share they are still just arguing making available, which is failing. The packet sniffing only goes to show that music is being transfered... The reason the RIAA wants to packet sniff is to PROVE that music is being transferred (by circumventing the need for a warrant to do so) otherwise they would have to download music from a peer and well then they would be breaking the law they are trying to enforce. Why they do not petition a court for a search warrant to sniff packets when they discover an open suspicious share is beyond me... Judge we found these file names at this IP address owned by ISP provider inc, we believe that this is probable cause to warrant further investigation of the type of information being transfered through this IP address by looking at individual packets. I see no reason why a judge would not grant such a petition. Or that is how it may work in a criminal court... I guess for a civil court the burden of proof is a lot lower... but still if they want to sniff my packets get court order to do so. the ISP owns the IP address not an individual... but an individual owns the computer using the IP address and thus accepts responsibility for what that computer is doing. Of course someone will mention bonnets and multiple users, if you own the computer you are responsible for its actions. If you do not know what your computer is doing then do not put it on the net. When you operate a car you are responsible for whatever happens to that vehicle when it is on the road unless you can prove that someone else's actions caused that car to accelerate to a high speed and then plowed into the rear end of a Yugo.
Maybe it is being already done, but why not just encrypt the info as it is being sent?
It appears to me that the RIAA made a mistake blaming their lack of sales on pirating. Once they asserted the idea that pirating is equivalent to lost sales, they now feel compelled to defend their incredible position by becoming the bully. This tactic would only work if they could somehow show that by being a bully sales are returning to "normal." Of course they could have produced better music which would have boosted sales while being a bully and then they would have some circumstantial evidence that the decline of sales is related to pirating. Since they only wanted to bully and extort money from people who have no means of paying the high price they demand, they are not seeing sales jump.
Next, you will want me to pay my share to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Oh wait every, on the books, wage earning American does through taxes. If I were her i would send the Governor a nice little letter thanking him for using my tax dollars to search for my husband. The state provided the service just like they keep my roads pave. Since when is a state a business?
I will not get on the who is better band wagon. If you cannot recognize creativity in science then there is no such thing as creativity. The difference is that in order to see the creativity of the sciences you have to know math. Elegant solutions to problems is art, just like one of Mozart's symphonies.
Real ID was tacked onto a must pass military spending bill. It was a sleezy thing to do and there lays the problem with a lot of things that are tacked onto bills. I bill should cover one topic and set forth only one act. IE a spending bill has nothing to do with national ID's.
At least in SC where we have electronic voting machines, we are still allowed to vote on any piece of paper. I did not take the time to look the story up but in Horry County during the primary someone voted by writing their vote on a matchbook and putting it in a ballot box. No matter how the vote is cast you have to assume that it is objectively counted by some third party. i guess the problem is that with machines coming from just a handful of companies that it is a lot easier for a few individuals to change the results of the election where with hand counting it takes a much larger group of individuals to change the results.

Not to shoot you down (no pun intended), but the formaldehyde is used in the production of OSB and other building materials as a preservative. The US government bought readily available travel trailers that were meant for temporary housing. It seemed like an palatable idea at the time, after all a lot of people tow their travel trailer around the US and live in them. The US government is a government, like all governments they are not going to be able to take care of everyone and make everyone happy. Be upset at the manufactures of building materials that use formaldehyde in their products, they are to blame for the problem.
Back to the topic at hand, no one will argue that hydrazine is bad and that some amount of it would make it back to our beloved earth were some organism could have been harmed by it. There was technology on the satellite that was indeed classified and chances are that it was projected to fall down on a part of the world that the US could not recover it from. So in a effort to protect US secrets the US decided to attempt to knock the thing out of the sky and eliminate the risk of 1) the US technology getting recovered and 2) eliminate the potential hazard to life. The US had already agreed to pay for all damages caused by the satellite when it reentered and hit wherever it did. I would imagine that there was an economic factor that shooting it out of the sky for $100,000,000 (I just took a guess at how much it cost the US) would be a lot less than reimbursing some country for the damage that it caused them.
Just because it is leaving our planet does not imply that it is disappearing, and while it may be hard to recover it is not impossible. So the argument that we are losing He is not accurate, He is not turning into something else. When it is economically viable a different means of capturing and purifying He will become mainstream. He neglecting nuclear reactions is not being consumed or generated therefore it is being moved around at some point there the entropy of the universe will be so great that there is not enough free energy to recover it, but I think we are a long way from that. The same can be said about water, except there are more classical chemical reactions that consume and produce water, but as a general rule the amount of water on this planet has remained relatively constant. We are not running out of water in America, we have just about managed to contaminate all the easily accessible potable water.
Before we all take the leap, where is the Helium going? Last time I looked He was on top of group 18 of the periodic table making it a noble gas. Unless someone has figured out how to take He and convert it to C or H and contain the energy which is released, I doubt we are running out. The price may go up but the supply seems pretty constant.
maybe they have forgot about the gun powder plot, or that little uprising that took place across the pond! I think that terrorist are winning the war, just not the physical battles. To say that the world was not changed 6 yrs and a day ago, to say that they did not accomplish their goals would be admitting that we do not understand their goals. The terrorist will continue to win if we continue to give up our freedom. All they have to do is wait for the populous to become so heavily taxed that they will no longer tolerate the government and then the populous will attempt to overthrow the government.
Since I do not know much about ram and how it works, I will go for the obvious question. If a server is required to log the contents of it's RAM or the initial state of its ram and then all the changes that are written to the ram, would this not create a huge amount useless LARGE files? Then the question becomes, how long do I store this information? If one were compelled to log the contents of their RAM 16X's a second and you keep your Log for an hour and you have 2GB of ram that results in approx. 115 TB of data. That seems a little steep. But I suppose if I was a admin for a server, I could comply and hand over the raw data... they would then spend more time and money trying to parse the bits than they could ever hope to get out of some Joe Smoe for downloading millions of songs.
