How about running a SECURE system at home? simply having the PC with logins and auto lock-out would have stopped this idiot sociopath in his tracks. Yes you can crack the passwords with physical access to the machine but I highly doubt the idiot had enough time to crack it without getting caught.
Better solution is to have drive encryption on and home security cameras that record.. Good luck getting access to the security hive or password files to start cracking a password before the owner wakes up. and you have nice video evidence to show the cops that someone broke in.
No but if apple is the catalyst that forces adobe to turn flash from a bloated piece of utter crap into something that actually runs right? I'm so for it' i'll bend over and provide the lube!
Problem is "audiophiles" typically include the idiots that buy $1000.00 cat 5 cables from Denon and $90.00 a foot directional speaker wire.
It's why I wont be called an audiophile and friends I know wont. and Yes, we drive those speakers with lamp cord... 8 runs of 18 gauge lamp cord for each speaker assembly.
Just because you are ignorant does not make you right.
And you sir are highly ignorant. Come back AFTER you go hear even low end decent. Go find a store that sells FM-45's from JBL and a cheapish $1500-$2500 receiver. This is pretty much what I have at home except I have a old kenwood sovereign receiver from 7 years ago. It does not sound fantastic, it sounds great. and it sounds fricking incredible compared to ANYTHING sold at best buy or any electronics store. total price? $5500.00 spent. I'm low end entry and even a good CD on a 20 year old CD player sounds 800X better than any junk that you youngsters (GET OFF MY LAWN!) listen to.
Now epic level home made speakers are unbelievable. What I helped my buddy build cant be touched for under $50K in any store. Knowledge of audio engineering coupled with a master cabinetmaker is incredibly rare. I added in my Audio engineering experience and we had actually made 2 iterations of this setup, one was completed when we discovered we made a math error and caused a standing wave in the cabinet and no internal tweaking would completely eliminate it. so it was redesigned.
I strongly suggest you pull that 12' long 4X4 pressure treated post out of your ass and GO LISTEN TO real speakers somewhere. at least know what the hell you are missing.
No real plans online. But it's a set of folded horns for bass with 15 inch woofers based on a clipsch design that have foreward firing 8 inch midbass drivers. (corner loaded to finish the large horn mouth) and a set of 6 foot tall linear array speaker tower that set on a specific point on the folded horns to minimize driver separation with 32 aluminum cone drivers in each speaker for the high and mids. acoustically and physically separated from the larger driver array to eliminate low frequency coupling.
The folded horns each have 30 pounds of sand in the cavity's and the towers also have sand at the top and bottom to reduce resonance.
They sound insane even though the room they are in sucks horribly.
The twinkle on the cymbals is NOT supposed to be there... but then most people under the age of 35 have never heard a set of speakers that cost more than $2500.00 on an amp that costs more than $5000.00 (not tuner, not receiver, plain old amp WITHOUT volume knobs) or even a properly mastered CD that doesn't have the soul compressed completely out of it. I cry for the generations of people that don't know what music is supposed to sound like.
Note: you dont haveto spend that kind of cash for real gear, you can build it yourself. I helped a friend build a set of $15,000 speakers for about $2100.00 in drivers and wood. they are absolutely incredible sounding even on a el-cheapo Denon A1HD Amp..
Honestly, people... go find a REAL high end audio shop and at least listen to what a real stereo is supposed to sound like.
I'm his admin, and I am really wanting to know why he's tying up the work servers... Honestly, he came in this morning with about 600 feet of rope and has been tying onto all the servers since 9:00am. he wont stop, and has locked himself into the server room. Security cant get him out and I'm about 5 minutes from hitting the halon system to end it all.
If you want to save his life, please talk him down, he keeps talking about how the devil on slashdot's new video made him do it..
Most of our roads (compared to Europe) are wide, straight and multilane. You can drive far faster than the speed limit without any risk, and you factor this into account when determining where to live.
You live in a wierd place where all the residential streets are 5 lane highways... Sadly reckless speeders do NOT limit their selfish and reckless behavior to only the open highways, but they do it by blasting through residential neighborhoods at 40mph. City streets at 45-50, etc...
Also habitual speeders are also the people that blow stopsigns and red lights. (Yes this is backed up by studies) so your argument is highly flawed.
If a person only limited their speeding to open highways I would see your point. they dont. so speeders in general are reckless drivers on the highway and parking lots.
P.S. if a speeder tail-gaits at any time he is a reckless moron. sorry but that is the most dangerous thing they can do, and they feel entitled to it.
And you are incorrect. Please pull that stunt in front of an officer... Oh you get a ticket. it is NEVER alright to exceed the speed limit. If the \guy in front of you is doing 2.5 miles per hours less than the limit and you cant get around safely, then you have to suck it up and quit being a baby.
If you can find me a law that states it's OK to exceed the speed limit to pass, please post it and you get an apology from me. Otherwise you get to apologize to everyone else for making a wild assumption.
what about the raging assholes that freak out because I dared to go around a semi truck and forced you to slow down to only 5mph over the speed limit for the 3 seconds it takes for me to finish to go around the semi? (you were 1/2 mile away when I started, sorry I did not know you were going 90) you deserve to be on my ass flashing the lights?
You do deserve me pressing the rear window washer button (broken wiper, I re-aimed it directly back. that fills your windshield full of spray.. That one works very well for people like you. I go through a lot of spray now, but having a stream of washer fluid pelt the frontend of your car and windshield makes you stop being a complete asshole and back off to a safe distance. Just be glad I'm not a jerk and fill it with paint stripper...
Bet you money that grandma is not there feeling entitled... I'm betting grandma does not even know where she is.... and that is ANOTHER problem with American roads... people with drivers licenses that should have had them taken away.
I loved a buddy's setup. 3 24" monitors and 4 15" monitors. 2 of the left and 2 on the right flanking the 3 main. It utterly rocked for Coding and hardware hacking.
Yes, 6 1080p screen 1.5 feet from my eyes is 8000% better than 1 62" 1080p screen 1.5 feet from my eyes. there is a crapload more resolution in the 6 panels together than ANY big TV made.
you are 100% correct. It's why I believe that every motorcyclist should be forced to take a "ride like a pro" course yearly. as well as drivers take a defensive driving course yearly to just keep their drivers licenses.
Actually car drivers should be required twice a year. once in the spring, and once in the fall on icy or slippery roads. It seems that car drivers forget how a car works every 6 months.
It's gone further than that. I'm taking a motorcycle safety course with my wife. I have ridden for over 30 years, she is starting this year. They now teach you to assume that every car driver is intentionally going to kill you. we were told to assume that every car near you is being operated by a complete idiot that wants you dead.
And I agree with him, it's how I made it 30 years without an accident.

I'm surprised they aren't summarily castrating people without proof these days
They are working on that. They did not get it passed in the last Jobs bill...Next time though...

Um the 80's gave us Plenty that could not sing. Motley crew, RATT, Poison, Guns and dork, Cars, Sting.... ok he was 70's.... Falco.....
sizzle? that's bit error.

YAY music continues it's downward spiral into the toilet!
Compression + autotune = crap.

They barely understand how cars can move without horses in front of them.

You are correct for open freeways. In a city that rule DOES NOT APPLY. Because both the left and the right lanes are merge lanes.
Go ahead and try to convince a chicagoian that the left lane is for passing only, you will be laughed at non stop even while they beat you.
Bet you money that grandma is not there feeling entitled... I'm betting grandma does not even know where she is.... and that is ANOTHER problem with American roads... people with drivers licenses that should have had them taken away.

I have 5 22" on my MAC. three below and two above.. IT looks great and it has t he intended effect... Oh you edit video... HOLY CRAP!
If the car windshield had frame every 2 feet? yes. in fact it would and most people would not buy that car.
What kind of car do you drive that has frames all across the windshield?
Yes, 6 1080p screen 1.5 feet from my eyes is 8000% better than 1 62" 1080p screen 1.5 feet from my eyes. there is a crapload more resolution in the 6 panels together than ANY big TV made.

holy crap you scare me. Everywhere in the usa. if you kill a pedestrian with your car , you are at fault, you get manslaughter charges.
If you are driving a car it is YOU'RE RESPONSIBILITY to NOT HIT ANYTHING. Did you even take drivers training?
