When my company set up an office in Canada, the IT staff set up a VPN to connect the two offices. Unfortunately, they accidentally routed all US HTTP traffic through the Canadian office. All of the sudden we were all forwarded to Google.ca.
Homebrewers need to start hacking the server side first. By setting up their own servers, they can filter out problems like this, and still maintain the networking capabilities of their devices.
I've got the sollution(sic) to that, he just have to move to Gentoo, that way he will only will have to emerge everything once every six months... Wouldn't that make it worse? One new package get's updated and he will compulsively compile it from source.
I've found fear of being modded down is no reason to withhold expressing an honest opinion. I've posted some pretty ignorant things on Slashdot, but they didn't hurt me because other people responded with insightful and informative comments. Sometimes the mods are unfair, but a good retort is always favored over,
ya F'in wankers
How come they never shipped any good thing to USA market? I have a theory. It's because Nokia doesn't play nice with the carrier pricing models. Most notably, they include Wi-Fi on their phones. Phone carriers in the US subsidize the price of the phones based on charging high rates for data. Wi-Fi enabled phones prevent them from doing that.
I've noted this before on Slashdot and have been modded into oblivion by what are presumably Apple fanboys claiming it's the iPhone's interface that made it popular in the US. That may be true, but I still stand by what I said.
But there are jerks in this world that would like to kill us, so that makes you wrong... dead wrong. Failing to recognize enemies and treat them as such is a fatal mistake many countries have made (see France c. WWII). Those enemies also require the capabilities to kill (i.e. on US soil). Most of them do not (Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba did but does no longer, Afghanistan does and has proven so). The only reason we are involved with those conflicts are entangling alliances. Remember, France and Germany were very close together. Quite the opposite from Iran. I'm not saying we should ignore them all together. We should keep an eye on them to make sure they can't harm us. At the moment they can't, so quit fueling the fire. It will only serve to motivate them to develop the capabilities to harm us.
So if this escaped into the wild, and you accidentally consumed a small amount, would it turn you into crude oil? So, that's what happened to the dinosaurs! It all makes sense now.
Because if it hadn't of been overturned, you could label "anything" as no-resale and send it to someone. Nope, adverse possession applies to real property. If it's real property and not imaginary property, it becomes theirs after a specified period of time. They can then do whatever they want with it.
I worked at my high school's radio station. We received tons of promo CD's. Very few of them turned out to be hits. We had stockpiles of CD's nobody wanted. They just piled up for years. We were always worried that the record companies were going to ask for them back, so we had to keep them.
Ultimately, we decided that the record companies weren't going to ask for the really old ones, so we gave away as many as we could, and threw the rest away. It was kinda sad to see all of that waste.
The reason we have the international policies we have today is a direct result of intervening in WWI (not Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor in WWII). Although it may have been unavoidable, it established the US as the world police ever since. It angered those who lost the war and set the stage for WWII. The end of WWII brought out the Cold War. Many say no shots were fired in the Cold War, but I beg to differ. Many countries were used as pawns (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam) which is why we have the problems we have today.
Our international policy has only served to spread war, not end it. Many argue that this is a result of not following Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points after WWI (I agree). We have to realize that the world is not a giant chessboard and that going to war only results in more war. We need to get out of the entangling alliances that George Washington warned us about. NATO has served it's purpose but the cold war is over. I disagree with Dr. Paul about the UN, I don't consider it an entangling alliance, but a means of solving international differences without resorting to war.
Continuing our current policy will only serve to escalate the situation. We need to have an open dialogue with all nations. This is why, considering Ron Paul is out of the race, I choose to vote for Barack Obama.
break a bunch of stuff while learning how not to break stuff as badly, and apply your skills to future problems. I recommend breaking small and inexpensive stuff first, and then move on to larger and more expensive stuff. You can't expect Tacoma Narrows on the first try.
When I was in high school, we had two upper level physics class, AP Physics, and Electro-physics. I took the electro-physics class because we got to build things instead of study for a stupid test all year.
I learned quite a bit about electronics, but I think the most important thing I learned was failure mode analysis. The class had so many projects that required you to build things (physical things, not just circuits) that I, and everyone else in the class became very good at it. The projects started very simple and progressed in difficulty throughout the year.
At the end of the year, the Electro-physics class challenged the AP physics class to a sort of competitive science project, building a catapult. That's where our experience in construction paid off. Our project was heavily researched, carefully designed, and we even left a day to debug it (which proved extremely helpful). In the end, we won the competition.
Summary:
It says the federal court system has no jurisdiction over state laws, even if they are in direct violation of the U.S. constitution.
So, should Delaware decide to declare a state religion, and all people within Delaware are required to convert to that religion, and the Delaware supreme court upholds this law. The U.S. Supreme court has no jurisdiction to overturn this law?
I think Dr. Paul has a different interpretation of the Supremacy Clause than I do. His interpretation seems to assume that the State Supreme court upholds the U.S. Constitution. Mine says should the State Supreme Court not uphold the U.S. Constitution, The U.S. Supreme Court can overturn it's decision.
I agree that the State Supreme Court should uphold the U.S. Constitution, but they don't always do their job. That's why we have checks and balances
I was a supporter of Ron Paul, but now... I'm not so sure.
If they can't tell the difference between a philistine semi-fascist war-monger, and an intellectual-minded left-leaning "let's listen to the experts" leader... then I don't know what else to tell ya. To be fair, Bush billed himself as against "nation building," and claimed he would hire the best and the brightest as his advisers. He turned out to be much different. What surprises me more, is the number of people who remained loyal after he didn't follow through with his promises.
It doesn't have the, "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service" after it. If you are concerned, I suppose you could add a message like, "please remain on the line." after the tones.
What I would personally recommend is that you just tell him you want to get him a chair, and research it with him. If you go this route, I would put a picture of an Aeron in a card and give it to him. Let him know that you'll buy it for him, if that's the chair he decides to get.
I learned that trick from a buddy of mine who's mom would always get pissed off at the gifts family would buy her. She would want a stove, and they bought her a stove, but it wasn't the stove she wanted. Next year she wanted a dishwasher, so they gave her a picture of a dishwasher, and let her pick it out herself.
I had an Aeron at a previous job. Making the switch to whatever this purple monstrosity I have now has been difficult. My favorite part about the Aeron is it allows airflow around your body.
his does give me new ideas for funny answering messages though... The best one I ever had was a simple:
"Hello"
I used to get voicemail messages from people that were so angry, it was hilarious. Other times it they would be clueless and keep on talking as if I was on the line.
I had to get rid of it when I started looking for a job.
We had a dialer call through our company last year. It was pretty interesting. All of the phones in our company are on the same trunk. You could tell the dialer was just calling every possible number on the trunk in sequence because a wave of rings went through the office (it's normally pretty quiet). Everyone discovered they had a voicemail from "the job hotline" a little while later. The Attorney General eventually caught the guy and shut him down.
Play a Special Information Tone before the phone starts to ring. Most autodialers won't waste their time and hang up. Humans will realize it's a fake tone and stay on the line. I don't know if it works with VoIP though.
They don't check facts and they don't have standards for their evidence, so anonymous assertions can lead them in any direction. Turn on the TV or read a newspaper. Journalistic standards were thrown out the window, in all forms of media, years ago.
You are ignoring the fact that aero engines change altitude dramatically while in operation. Altitude changes mean they have to operate at a wide variety of ambient air pressures which messes with peak cylinder pressures and air fuel mixtures.
I don't see these problems as being insurmountable though. VVT and electronic fuel injection could solve those problems and have been around for quite some time.

Sorry, for some reason I thought the original iPhone didn't have wi-fi. That explains why others are so impressed with it and I wasn't.

I agree. However, I think the new ones can be used more times before they have to be discarded. (just a guess)
