Bing: Bing will return a story about Lindsy Lohan every time. No matter what you search for, you will get at least a couple Lindsy results. Your answer might be in there... but usually not. If I'm searching for the latest Lindsy Lohan updates however, Bing is always my first choice.
Here are a few Rapidshare search engines. Look towards the bottom at "Recent searches" how many of those look legal to you?

and sure enough they do make it: http://www.usg.com/sheetrock-gypsum-panels-foil-backed.html run an unshielded ground wire down the length of every stud and every sheet will be contacting ground. Cheap and simple.
Why exam rooms are simply built as Faraday cages, I'll never understand. I bet they even sell drywall laminated with foil or some such that would make it easy. Put it up, ground it, make sure the doors are steel or aluminum, no cellular or wifi at all. The rooms totally isolated.
1. a company computer can just as easily be infected as a private computer. The idea that Antivirus provides anything more than protection against the more common threats out there is the leading myth that lets managers think they are protected. "We have Norton, so we don't have to worry about viruses" I could write a virus, specifically for you... in about 20min and no antivirus would pick it up.
2. This is all fine and well to say... but in actual practice most companies, especially older companies and Government agencies, have a rats nest of legacy systems that their entire infrastructure is tied to. Their billing and account data is on an antiquated Unix server from the 70s. The hardware's been upgraded but Oracles quoted them some stupefying price to move them over to a newer database. The interface is a BBS style monochrome terminal window. About 10 years ago someone that no longer works there and whos name no one remembers wrote a web based front end for it. It's buggy and no one knows what half the commands do anymore but its miles better than the terminal window. But for that to work you need special permissions, and the server hosting the web interface needs permissions to telnet to the Unix system which forces a password change every 30 days. This has to be done manually. But about 2 years ago some act of congress said that XYZ accounts must retain a series of tracking codes for tax purposes. There were only 4 new codes, but updating the old system was impossible and moving to oracle would cost millions. IS was their usual immovable selves and demanded the entire system be scrapped and moved to something more modern, upper management wouldn't have it. So some intern still in community college made an access database and linked the tables to a key on the webapp. But IS was again totally immovable and refused to give access to the company tables for something so ridiculous. Department heads fought but in the end the kid just ended up using Access Jet database. The thing gets corrupted about once a month so now the admins have to repair that routinely. Meanwhile every user that uses that webapp now has to have access installed and permissions to the folder the Jet database is in. About the 4th time some Senior VP trys to look up info for the first time on a Saturday and can't, the order comes down... everyone's got permissions to everything. The fact of the matter is this sort of shit happens all the time... and admins get fired all the time for hiccups that are caused by people not having the right access. An actually breach in security is extremely rare or at least goes unnoticed... and when it does happen they can just blame "Hackers." As far as the majority of management, and the public for that matter, are concerned, hackers are geniuses that can not be stopped once they target you. (see the movie hackers)
3. And they'll be playing games on facebook all the way through the class. I took such a class myself and one of the questions I got wrong was: "When on a business trip, if you're going out for the evening you should: A. Leave your laptop in the locked hotel room B. Take the laptop with you. According to them the correct answer was B. But I see the likely hood of my laptop getting stolen or forgotten in a bar far more likely than someone breaking into my hotel room and steeling corporate data. I think the ambiguity of the question itself underlies just how difficult security really is.
Ok - Bureaucracy: The Governor / Legislature Alternative: Vote every bill via the internet (you can file your taxes via the internet, I don't see why you can't vote at the same time)
Bureaucracy: Prison guards Union / Teachers Union Alternative: Fire them all, hire contractors
Buahahaha... just kidding... that thing is just all sorts of fail. And if you're going to pimp your product with a fake slashdot article, you think next time you could use pictures of one that wasn't already 5 years old and covered in grime?
Funny you should mention that, because that's exactly what I did. It cost me a years salary and I had to spend several weeks in one of the most remote sections of the world to find my son. I literally saw dead people in the street while I was there. One young man no older than 20 died because his only method of transportation to the only doctor within several hundred km was a donkey cart.
If anything it just proved to me how pathetic the people that complain about life in the west are. People living in the gutter in downtown Chicago are healthier, have better lives, and more chance at success in life than the people living bellow the balcony of the hotel I stayed in. Every morning I'd wake up, go out on the balcony and these destitute mothers would wave up at us with a big smile and yell "Amasagnalu" (thank you) I asked our guide why they were thanking us, he said they were thanking us for taking one of their children away from all this. About fucking blew my mind.
Then we went to the embassy. There were lines of people applying for asylum and the like. Trying to get out of the country. We walked up with our son, and the entire line stepped aside. Several people bowed to us as we walked by. I'd like to see some of the world hating introverts I see in this country all the time do something like that.
Grow a pair and suck it up. If you live in the west, you're life is amazingly easy. You're lucky you're not stuck in the middle of a city with 7million other people with a homeless rate about 70% and gas costing $8 a liter.
To use a real guitar... Simple have someone else play rockband, plug your guitar into your half stack and shred all over their pathetic video game playing ass.

Some of us don't think this world is really all that bad. You may think so, but my kids really happy and has an excellent chance at leading an extremely happy life. If you want to crawl in a hole a die childless and hating the world, that's fine.
It's my understanding that Bell Canada is the ONLY telephone company in Canada. They never broke up their Bell systems like we did. So no, you can't switch providers.
And why aren't they compelling twitter to give them the account information of the Reporters that released the information in their newspapers? Are they not just as guilty, if not more so, than anyone at Wikileaks?
The limitation on what a compromised device can do is it's internet connection, not the processor. An compromised HDTV that has web browsing is capable of doing anything a compromised PC can. Not to mention the fact that the HDTV probably has the users login information for netflix and the like stored un-encrypted. I also doubt its all that easy to patch the TV.
So they are demanding the personal information of a Non-US citizen, that's not in the country and did not access Twitter from within the United States? Nor did any of them commit any sort of crime on US soil. Could a middle eastern country charge my wife for wearing a bikini to the beach in Florida and then demand her personal information from Twitter?
Gross doesn't equal net. Operating costs went up substantially as well and most of the money they made was from an influx of players that came in and bought things in game, like quest packs and such... Most of which is permanent so they will not continue to purchase more unless they make more. They basically resold a game that had already been made to players that had already purchased it but no longer wanted to pay a monthly fee. Once those players have bought up all that content (again) they are done spending money unless Turbine generates a lot more content. I'll give them credit, their free to play model is the best one out yet... but they certainly didn't triple their profits.
Fact is, you can never prove a negative. It's impossible.
I think the most hilarious thing in the world is that most of the people that believe in Ghosts also believe in reincarnation. If that's not an Oxymoron, I don't know what is.

Unfortunately the majority of the people wearing the devices are likely 19yr olds that had 15-16yr old girlfriends.
It's not like it killed anyone... oh wait...
At least no one was hurt. White collar crimes only hurt insurance companies right?
