On removable devices you can also click the device in the Finder and select "Get Info." There is a checkbox for "Ignore Permissions on this Volume." This is more Mac to Mac, but it might help if you're going back and forth between several machines. Just thought I'd point it out.
By uploading your porn to the "cloud," every government can easily catalog all of your collection for analysis later. This saves everybody a lot of time and hassle.
What makes you think that deleting the account will keep them from selling your info anyway? You probably waived any and all rights to privacy and such when you signed up in the first place. I just don't get what people are thinking these days.
Parent post stated specifically, "the ones (states) I've lived in." Apparently TN was not one of them. Last time I checked, Texas sales tax cannot exceed 8.25% and is not charged for edible groceries. You do pay sales tax, however, when eating at a restaurant.
That's not too bad, considering we have no state income tax and our property taxes are reasonable. Home values are also excellent.
Great article. As someone who grew up in Cheyenne, WY near F.E. Warren AFB (an AFB without planes or a landing strip - you can guess the mission) the details of these monsters have always fascinated me. I'd hear stories from my friends whose dads worked either as the missile capsule crews themselves or were maintenance personnel.
If Slashdot readers are flying in and out of Denver International Airport (or any area around CO, NE, WY) you can look out the window and see the launch facilities from the air. Amid the farm lands and country roads, you can look down and see an outcrop of buildings and maybe a quonset hut or two, and then a separate concrete reinforced pad maybe a hundred yards away; the whole area carefully fenced. You can tell they don't quite fit in with everything else. The number of them is startling. Yeah, in fact a little scary. But the author is correct when he states that in the (then) USSR they had the exact same thing pointing at us. Gives me the willies still.
The crew of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" used the insignias you could tap on as communicators. The original Star Trek series had flip-open handheld devices which they wore on their belts.
She used to live up the street from us in the Houston area. Husband moved the family to Lake Charles, filed for divorce and his family knows the judges and police. She's got a heck of a fight on her hands. Good woman, too. He has alcohol, drug, and violence problems. Very sad.
The further you move along in math, the more imperative it is that you have a teacher that can explain things clearly. My college degree is in physics, so I had to take a lot of math classes (ended up with a math minor, in fact). Non-linear Diff Eq - a very complex subject - was made more simple because I had a great professor. Linear Algebra - a fairly basic course - I took 3 times because I had a clueless grad student the first time and a pompous shit-bag the second.
And as to the usefulness of calculus; as soon as you start engineering just about anything of any value, you're going to be neck high in it. Ditto for scientific investigation.
Honda, Toyota, and Nissan (Datsun) and Volkswagen ALL had cars that would do upwards of 35mpg (highway). Some (Honda Civic DX I think - it's been awhile) did about 35/42. This was after the energy crisis in the 70's, and yes, we've been here before.
There was nothing special about the cars, except they moved to fuel injection and overhead cams, variable valve timing, etc. Most of these cars were only about 70HP so the performance wasn't stellar, but they made great commuters.
And PS - just because YOU don't know it or haven't seen it doesn't mean it's BS. Don't be such a douchebag.
I think you've been drinking too much of the cool-aid from the hard drive manufacturers. You know - the same people that arbitrarily offer 5 year warrantees, then 3 year, then 1 year, then back to 5 years - depending on the mechanical reliability of the product and the advances made in the technology, I'm sure (COUGH, COUGH, COUGH).
The items quoted by the parent are physical issues. There is no getting around them design-wise. Thermal conductivity and expansion is a physical reality. So is friction. So is high current startup to get the platters spinning. (As an aside, few people realize that it takes only about 16HP to propel a car down a level road at 60MPH. What's the extra horsepower for?)
Like most things in computing, the marketing people seem to rule the roost. So I'm sure that if Western DIgital says that they've come up with a "New, completely silent and utterly frictionless condensed veebleflux gas fluid bearing," or some other BS for hard drives they're only telling the truth to the most minute extent of the law.
I'll leave the argument about whether to leave the hard drives spinning or not for more qualified silicon jihadists - but I wanted to warn you to take the manufacturers' marketing literature (and yes, even their TBF statistics) with a few more grains of salt. Oh, and let me know when you get those half million hours on a drive, if you please.
Now, where did I put the RMA info for all of these drives?
The problem with catamarans (or any multihull) is that the stability curve and righting moments are such that once they turn over they stay over. Monohulls will eventually right themselves, provided the keel is still attached. You're right - they're a blast for humans to sail/charter - but in this particular case I'd consider only a monohull.
The subject of state-wide wireless internet was presented to the people and they voted electronically using the latest Diebold technology. Not surprisingly, it passed by a narrow 44.00001% to 44% margin. No paper trail was available for verification.
The wireless internet system will be payed for by trading pieces of a rare coin collection owned by the state.
Here are some more examples of Symbian security (apparently their first priority):
1. The phone randomly locks up and/or turns off - this fools 3v1L hackers. 2. Won't connect to most Bluetooth devices - keeps hackers out. Very clever! 3. When syncing contacts, it mixes up all the fields so that an 3l33t hacker won't be able to make sense of them. You won't either, but at least you're safe. 4. Apparently has a built-in function to slow all operations to a C...R...A...W...L... - this prevents hackers from using high speed automated systems to hack your phone. Ingeneous!

Now if the lawyers would go after the frivolous claims made by Lodsys to shake down the iOS developers . . .
It would be a good week.
They're already on IPV6. We're still working on it.
Wow!
A pad device! AND some sort of phone! Maybe a SMART PHONE! GO HP!!!
How timely!

Wherever it's buried they would need to fortify the sewer system to accommodate all of the people coming by to piss on the grave.

Also, last time I checked GoDaddy was POP3 only - NO IMAP - so many of my clients couldn't use it.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
