Many of the homosexuals I know take offense to the word queer, why are you trying to offend them while correcting others?
In all seriousness, though, both words have been used to offend, why latch on to one and disregard the other? In either case you completely fail to take into account that the post you are complaining about meant that as a quote.
scot4875 accused me of being nothing but a sony fanboi. You replyed to my reply to him. I never said that Sony was with out fault. I said that Sony was not as guilty or frankly guilty at on in this case. I am just sick of people shifting the blame from people committing criminal acts to those that they happen to feel didn't have as good of defense as they should. But there is so much Sony hate that people are just looking to dump all the blame on them.

The first statement there directly contradicts the first, based on the way it is written. Yes, an unknown someone or someones committed a criminal act in the form of unauthorized access to systems containing sensitive information - everyone understands this, and many here (including myself) were directly affected by this. However, the second crime by parties unknown does not absolve Sony from blame - as they may well have been guilty of criminal negligence in allowing unsecured systems (or even known insecure systems) to house said sensitive information. They don't deserve all of the blame, as it still took a criminal to exploit the systems and gain access to the data, nor perhaps even the majority of the blame - again, a criminal was necessary for this to become a problem - but Sony does indeed share some of the blame, and that's what most people are saying here.
I've not heard one case yet based on my reading of the comments on these stories that said "let the criminal go, and hang all the Sony execs responsible." Perhaps the latter has come up a few times, but not attached to the former.:)
I'm not a doctor, and I don't have a pacemaker - I'll start with that as a disclaimer. However, I do have a general idea of how pacemakers work. They don't control the blood flow like a valve, they shock the heart to maintain the heart rate. They're remotely programmable to allow a doctor to change the rhythm, or change when it activates (they have sensors as well) - without having to perform a difficult, invasive and rather dangerous surgery again. There are many reasons for doing this, for example: the patient's needs change as they age or there is a more optimal rhythm for the patient.
Am I the only one whose family does _not_ have these issues? Until reading the replies to this post I would have called my family computer illiterate - but I've never had this much trouble. Sure, I've gotten questions regarding things they do not understand and I've had to take support calls, but I've never had these huge malware infections popping up every couple of weeks.
In the past two years, the only problems I can really remember facing: Wiring the new addition for ethernet (I'm less expensive than the electrician) Installing Windows XP on a computer that came with Vista (My father preferred XP - suprise:) Cleaning one malware infection, a fake anti-virus notice that my mother did not understand - cleaned it out, she asked what happened and I explained it. I've seen those notices on her screen since, and she has closed them. She now knows the difference between the fake notices and the real notices from AVG. Answering questions about what I suggest to use for a specific task - such as my mother trying to sync her blackberry with a calendar at home, as her office PC does not support it. (And the IT department will not let her install anything, despite that they bought her the phone)
I guess I'm just lucky. I should really go thank my family after reading all of this.
Fairly easy, if you have a basement or attic (crawlspace) where you can drop wire. Cut a hole for an "old work" electrical box, and drill a hole in attic or basement to run the wire through. Run a fish wire through the hole in the attic/basement, and to the larger hole in the wall to pull some cat5 through, then run the wire to where you need it. Terminate and enjoy.
Gets a little more tricky in multi-story houses or those without attic/basement, but that's the basic idea.
It's absolutely disgusting that private schools are allowed to exist and sap support for public education, helping to put it in the state it's in.
Perhaps the South is different, but private schools in this area are paid for by those attending it. Public schools in this area are paid for by _everyone_ in the area, whether their children attend public school, private school, or have no children at all. And to be quite honest, the private schools in this area do a hell of a lot more for the surrounding community than the public school ever has.
8.4. You should hide the list of Tor relays, so people can't block the exits.
There are a few reasons we don't:
1. We can't help but make the information available, since Tor clients need to use it, so if the "blockers" want it, they can get it anyway.
2. If people want to block us, we believe that they should be allowed to do so. Obviously, we would prefer for everybody to allow Tor users to connect to them, but people have the right to decide who their services should allow connections from, and if they want to block anonymous users, they can.
3. Being blockable also has tactical advantages: it may be a persuasive response to website maintainers who feel threatened by Tor. Giving them the option may inspire them to stop and think about whether they really want to eliminate private access to their system, and if not, what other options they might have. The time they might otherwise have spent blocking Tor, they may instead spend rethinking their overall approach to privacy and anonymity.
Really? Perhaps state law differs, but I've had to do that myself. The gas furnace in the apartment we were renting died in the middle of winter and my wife was pregnant at the time. Heat and electricity were included in the rent. We withheld rent for 3 months before it got fixed, and the landlord never saw a bit of that money as we weren't going to pay for services not received. Oh, and our rent there was over $1600/month - that's $4800. You'd think the landlord would have taken us to court if he thought he had a snowballs chance in hell of recovering any of that money.

I believe that is why plastic surgeons are advising clients to have that surgery redone every 10 years.
Is that really so terrible?
I guess it's a matter of taste.
