Well, when I'm dictator it will be legal to punch people in the face for doing stupid shit like that. Ought to help out a bit. Imagine a technician comes to your home, you tell them what's wrong and what you did... WHAM! A nice fist in the face. Hell of a deterrent, that.
I don't know about you, but that'd make me NOT call tech support.
The US should reinstituted the draft ASAP.
If the common voter had a real possibility of having to directly bear the burden of the decisions of the leaders (like the entire population of $INVADED_COUNTRY will) in the event of war, maybe we wouldn't see any cases of going to war on faulty intelligence?
Ask yourselves: How many "brave" conservatives would support a war if it was going to be fought in their hometown?
Hell, forget the draft. Just make people pay for this war with their taxes and see if they'll support it. Right now, the war is being paid by loans due in the future. Change that and see whether Iraq was such a matter of national security.
As a matter of science, people may not have as much control over their psyche classically believed. But this research isn't to explain away personal responsibility as much as it understand why we are the way we are. Perhaps people used to look down at the mentally ill for not taking responsibility for their actions, but we eventually created drugs to treat some mental illnesses. Society may later choose to decide how it will accomodate scientific knowledge. However, judgmental cries have no place against science seeking to discover how we tick.
Lance Armstrong is a freak of nature, in a nice way. His lung capacity (which is pretty unfakeable) is way larger than normal. His heart beats abnormally slow at rest. His muscles clear of lactic acid very normally. He is unengineerable at this point. It isn't just muscles that can be added by steroids or human growth hormone. It's many things about him.
I've got a little piece of information for all of you tree huggers who are too busy worrying about Hummers, Excursions, and Suburbans. There are even BIGGER vehicles on the road! Semi-trailers, buses, dump trucks, garbage trucks... all of these vehicles are even LARGER THAN A HUMMER!!!! You are NEVER going to be safe driving your little puny 90 mpg 2-seater vehicle because these vehicles are all over the place!!!
Of course there are automobiles bigger than a Hummer. So what? If everyone drove smaller cars, then we would all be safe anyway. And guess what? If your Hummer gets T-boned by a 18 wheeler, you are going to be just as dead as someone in a Honda Civic.
And if everyone drove smaller cars, then we wouldn't have to go fight around the world to get foreign oil as the domestic supply would be more than enough.
That's not true. I have both Norton Internet Security 2003 running along with the Windows Firewall behind a stateful, NAT-ing Smoothwall hard firewall box.
The SP2 pack claims to backup your files so the update can be removed. This is as good as a restore point, because if it doesn't work, chances are your system is so borked that a restore point won't work, either. Just backup your personal files.
SP2 does work with pirated keys. MS has given up banning "stolen" keys. Anyways, search for the Windows XP key generator for the corporate edition. There is a way to make your edition a corporate edition by editing a file before you burn your CD. Search for it on Google because MS hunts down these links so they change. And if I link to it here, then the MS moles will just shut them down even quicker.
I have cut through a few bolts in my time. What I normally use is a portable power sander. Grinds through every lock, chain, etc. in less than five minutes. Of course, the sparks and such are suspicious, but if you are going to file a false claim anyway, then... ; )
If IBM later reneged and sought to enforce these patents, I would argue promissory estoppel. If you make a promise not to pursue a legal claim, and people take harmful reliance on it, then you are barred from later bringing these claims.
The definitions of crimes change depending on the jurisdiction.
However, manslaughter generally is charged in instances where there is a homicide caused by negligence or recklessness. However, in this case, it is alleged that watching TV while barreling down the highway was so indifferent to the value of human life that it constituted "malice aforethought", a term of art that does not require actual planning or a foreseeable adverse result.
In fact, there are some "Russian Roulette" cases that have resulted in murder convictions on these same grounds. (A homicide by a person pulling the trigger four times at another is murder even if the shooter sincerely believed that the gun was unloaded.)
A worm can simply redirect someone's webbrowser to windowsupdate.microsoft.com or something like that. The worm itself should never be allowed to run or install code. Basically, the fact that your computer was hijacked and redirected should be incentive enough for people to patch their systems. This would reduce the lost bandwidth.
Also, a good worm passes through once because it closes doors as it leaves. A bad worm will keep reverberating.
The code doesn't work on IP address or anything like that. It is a complex operation that identifies you by your PHQ - PDF Hate Quotient. It uses the monitor as a scanner to collect data on pupil dilation, skin temperature, pulse, and CO2 production of a user while a PDF is displayed to calculate a PHQ. Few people realize that the PHQ works like a fingerprint and can identify a specific person.
Would putting Saran wrap around the monitor stop it? I hate PDFs. I tried some of the foil I normally use for my cap, but I couldn't see too clearly. I ordered some transparent aluminum, but I have idea where I put it.
Actually, Gmail's spam filtering isn't all that great. I've been forwarding all my regular account's mail to my gmail account, and it misses about 3:10 messages that my mail server catches with SpamAssassin and SpamCop as the only blacklist. But hey, it's better than the other free services.
Jesus, people, can you hear yourselves speak? Of course the spam filtering is going to suck when you FORWARD the mail to gmail from YOUR E-MAIL ACCOUNT. The headers and such will be the same as many non-spam messages. Duh.
In much the same way as the demise of Napster brought about the end of filesharing, banning iPods from work will wipe out corporate secret stealing. Nobody will ever think to tunnel data through SSH, copy data onto floppies, USB keychain storage devices, portable laptops, or magnetic tape. Surely, nobody will upload information to their Palm or Windows CE handheld devices; nobody will print out data and take it home; nobody will call someone on the telephone and read them data over the phone.
Man, they've sure got all their bases covered!
It doesn't surprise me that so many geeks collect action figures into adulthood, then show such a profound interest in the booth babes later... in both cases, all the interesting parts are plastic.
Down there as well? Awww.....

Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors of ice cream.
Shouldn't that be "31 Colors" of ice cream?
Well, mint and pistachio are both green. So, no.

We're blowing about $4 billion a MONTH in Iraq.
Well, actually, we are blowing $4 billion a MONTH on weapons TO blow in Iraq.
Why not put it in Japan? They have the most experience in dealing with such matters.
Uh, everyone.
Unless you read pictures?!?!

Yea. I'm a little paranoid.
