  1. And it's full of FAIL on Big Brother Friends Facebook · · Score: 1

    You can, like I do, create TWO profiles. one that is my professional profile, and one that is my private profile. my private profile does not have my name or any of my real info linked to it, and it is kept separate completely, I'm not even a friend of myself!

    And if I wanted to out my company for doing bad things, I'd create a third unconnected account to oust them on. So this system they are making is only good for getting the stupid people, and give corporations a "nice fuzzy feeling"(tm) they get when oppressing their employees.

    What other right do you lose?

    You lose to live where you want. Many cities pull the trick of "residency" to require you live where you work to ensure they cna extract the most taxes out of you.
    You lose the right to work without a union, Most municipalities are unionized and unoin membership is FORCED UPON YOU.
    Finally, the only path to advancement is either back stabbing or shoving your nose up a butt so hard your head disappears. It's not about skill, it's about who scratches who...

    some say? the people have a lot of say if they were not lazy.

    If the bulk of the population of the town were to show up and demand the mayor to get he hell out of town.. I'd say that's absolute power, kind of like what is happening in that tiny country called Egypt...

    Problem is, here in the USA even our destitute poor have it 60X better than the average person in the middle east. we have non stop TV to make sure the populace is complacent, and we have a McDonalds every 80 feet with it's dollar menu to make sure the poor don't eat anything that will give them enough energy to stand for more than 50 minutes at a time. you will never see the protests here in the USA like you see elsewhere demanding change. We are a lazy complacent people. We will bitch and moan about things, but we never EVER do anything about hem.

    Explosion detection is really easy. humans have been trained in explosion detection for decades now. Back in the 40's and 50's thousands of army men were trained out in new mexico in nuclear explosion detection. They want you to think we were testing bombs, no. These were secret tests to train men on how to detect nuclear explosions.

    If you put in non-stateful ACL's on a router or switch that does them in a hardware path in front of your web farm to filter anything other than port 80 then you can eliminate most of the cruft at line rate without giving the attacker a nice juicy state table to destroy.

    The problem is that video games NEVER model physics correctly. All driving games also lack haptic feedback like feeling the rear wheels slip out.

    If you have a young male child that loves driving games, the bes thing you can do is get them into REAL racing. Start with kart racing and then upgrade as their skills upgrade. Even full car dirt oval is cheap to get into, I raced from 13 years to 18 years old. I was driving a piece of crap on a dirt oval at 16 years old against 18-40 year olds and learned more about driving that anything else could have EVER taught me.

    Plus it's 900X more fun than any racing videogame ever made. IT has real rewards and real consequences with real gains in knowledge and experience.
