Troll!!! Troll!!! While government is not perfect, to say that it waste's all it collects is absurd and frankly doesn't exhibit much intelligence. Some of the most efficient organizations in our country are government (social security, medicare, etc) institutions. I suppose all government workers are slackers too? Come back and post when you have something well considered and worthwhile to say...
Is it really caught if you don't observe the trap? If you observe the trap and the cat is not caught, can it be not caught again? Poor cat, I knew & didn't know it well...
It depends on your definition of complex system. Is it any system wherein linearity no longer holds true or is a predictive facet that defines a system or function as complex? I've always found it advantageous to not rush to judgment.
You're wrong. They are police officers, not geeks. In order to follow procedures such as what you suggest would take numerous police officers off the streets due to budget conflicts. They had reasonable expectations that the stuff was supposed to work. And it usually does. My biggest problem with their procedure was that there was absolutely no second source. They should have centralized storage as well as dvd's for the files.
I agree regarding government. I couldn't get DSL service through my local phone service provider (I'm definitely rural in Pennsylvania) so I tried a third party. They're using the phone service providers equipment and my DSL works fine (for 2 1/2yrs). Just for grins, I thought I'd try my phone provider again last month to see if maybe I could get a price break. Guess what, they still don't offer DSL to my phone number / address. I don't get it?
I agree completely with buying in the sweet spot. However, I have (& have had) enough drives in play to say without any question that WD's fail more frequently and more catastrophically than any other brand. I personally liked Maxtor but I believe they've been bought out by Seagate, which is not that bad. Seagate customer service is much easier and faster to deal with when there is a problem.
WD has always wanted the end user to download a diagnostic program and then supply the results prior to issuing an RMA. I still remember the first drive I had that died and not only could I not download the software, but the drive was not even being acknowledged in the CMOS. The guy made me setup the drive as a slave and run the diagnostics (which would not recognize the existence of the drive) before issuing an RMA.
On future drive issues, I was able to solve this problem by telling the customer service rep that the drive has flames issuing from its case and please excuse me for a moment while I extinguish them. Only then would they issue an RMA without running the diagnostics...
Well, I've read everything you cited and am not sure what you're getting at. I certainly didn't find anything damning and in fact the secrets website contained much information that was a testament to his record.
All these accelerating elevators are making me queasy.
None of this however addresses the bill which pertains to biological & chemical origin. It might be reasonable (perhaps prudent) to teach that with the appropriate degree of chemical application, evolution can be accelerated and ultimately cause humanity to originate.
Or put another way, all this monkey business may result in the origination of a biological black hole. Garbage in, nothing out...
No offense, but you're an idiot also!
What if said "blogger" was on the road for a couple of days or perhaps terrorists knocked out his/her internet connection and he/she was unable to recieve said message. I don't know all the facts in this case so I'm inclined not to jump to judgement but it doesn't appear that you've even considered all the obvious avenues.
Correction: The court order "has" to come first. This is not an insignificant "detail". The law swings both ways and one person's possible disregard for the law does not warrant another's. Word has it that Google is pushing to be the "ultimate backup" location for everyones data. From what I see, not mine...
Well put. For the record, it's the same in this country. I remember being ridiculed and my job threatened at the start of the Iraq fiasco because of a differing opinion (turns out I was right after all, maybe someone should have listened). The point is that the USA was founded on free speech and it was anonymous as well. We don't have secret ballots for nothing...
Does anyone else feel like the diversity and quality of music coming out the last few years has taken a nosedive. I think that if the music industry put as much effort into developing new music as it has into the RIAA lawsuits, DRM & root kits that they (& the consumer) would be in much better shape.
With this 'cost' door opened, the whole system may implode in a kind of Pandora's Box syndrome (which may not be such a bad thing as it will open the door of opportunity for someone else to come up with a better way of 'doing music'.).
Overall, I think the situation has been badly handled and let the chips fall as they may...
Excellent point, deny them the Olympics. Hit them in the pocket book where they'll feel it. What cynical, miserable, dried up lives the people who develop these policies must lead. It would be sad except for the fact that they're aggressively attempting to drag us all down with them.
You must be new to this issue. The phone companies were given what amounted to subsidies to lay the copper and make phone service available to all that wanted the service at a rate they could afford. Now that they've (Verizon, et al) had exclusive use of this media long enough to amass huge assets, they wish to change the rules despite their long held status as a "legal" monopoly. It's very arrogant and if you believe it will result in savings to you in the long run, you're extremely naive.
I have several clients with Comcast (various flavors) and am absolutely amazed at the download speeds. I haven't tried them on any speed tests but I can say confidently that I do not fear 150mb to 250mb downloads...

Naw, they found that the thing would look for a long time before making a decision but they used the wrong form of the word (stare)...

Yeah, like who would they get to play Indy since Harrison Ford would be way too old?

Does anyone know if the original radio shows from the 70's are available anywhere? I would love to listen to them again.
Thanks...
Depends on the size of the block and where these people work...

I'm pretty certain I read about a lie detector used in a case in the mid-west in the last couple of months.
I think it plays better: In Mother Russia, spam judges slashdot!

You hit the nail on the head.
