That seems short-sighted. Unless you can restore life support quickly after avoiding the crash, you'll find yourself suffering quite a protracted and distressing death. I'd take insta-death over asphyxiation any day of the week.
Besides, you know full way that to avoid a collision you reverse the polarity of the tractor beam and divert warp power to the manoeuvring thrusters.
So you're telling me that focussing a lot of energy into a small surface area can cause damage? Jesus... I guess that's why it hurts trying to put drawing pins in backwards.
Specifically, that's my experience using Nautilus in Gnome. I've no idea if the way I did it was the only way, but I always ended up opening a shell, "sudo nautilus" and browsing back to the location of the file.
There's probably a better way, but that one worked for what I needed.
More importantly, will this be the new home of paid content? Because I'd gladly set the topic to "ignore" in my preferences to get rid of the astroturfing, shilling, and re-printed press releases in a second. Hell, I might subscribe for that kind of feature.
I would absolutely run a Tor exit node. The problem is that some pervert will use it to download CP or something equally illegal to view in the UK, and I'll end up on the Register and ostracised from society for nothing more than wanting to help maintain the free speech of the oppressed.
A relay is nothing to worry about, though; All nodes are relays, AFAIK. If it stays within the network, it's untraceable (unless you do something stupid like send your personal details to a Tor site).
I just put Mint 12 on my mum's laptop. Re-enabled the Trash icon on the desktop, MATE as default environment, and put a link to Chromium on the desktop, renamed to "Internet". She took to it like a fish to water.
Everything that takes two clicks in Linux takes ten in Windows.
Everything that takes 2 clicks in Windows takes dropping to a shell in Linux.
Yes, it's hyperbole, but I can cite an example. If I want to edit a system file on Windows 7, I right click, and select "Open as Administrator". On Linux, I have to open a shell and fiddle with su.
I haven't either, but that's because I already have more music than I could listen to in a sane amount of time.
If I ever get sick of Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Dream Theatre, Rush, or any of the other extremely talented bands of the past 30 / 40 years, I download a few albums from Jamendo and send some cash to CC licensed artists. They need it a lot more than Layne Staley.
I'm thinking that this could put MetroUI into the living room with a tablet input or some such. Kinect might be pushing it, unless it's got much better voice control than Win7 does.
I have no flight time, no pilots license, never taken a lesson, never been in the cockpit of a plane, and have only been air-side in an airport when going on holiday.
From playing "Chocks Away" on the Acorn Archimides I can tell you that stick back = stall, stick forward = recovery. I'm not saying that I could recover from a stall in an actual aircraft; That's stupid. However, the principle is the same. Anyone who's flown any "flight sim" game could tell you this.
What the hell these guys were thinking is anybody's idea.
The issue at the airport was that there was a chance for an adult who had not been screened to do something like stash an explosive device in the clothes of the kid who had already been screened. The person with access to the kid had not been screened.
Oh, I absolutely agree with this, except for a couple of small points of contention:
1. Both the adult and the child were well within view of the security checkpoint and all staff and passengers in the area, all of the time. 2. The child was momentarily in contact with the adult (think "hug a family member" duration, which is exactly what it was). 3. Neither the child or the adult fit "The Profile We're Not Allowed To Talk About" with regards to terrorist attacks on aircraft. Note that this would be the same "The Profile We're Not Allowed To Talk About" as the Birmingham Pub Bombings in 1974, that being the statistically frequent demographic for conducting such an attack.
If we were talking about 5 minutes out of sight of security, I'd agree with you. But we're not.
Your points are all rendered moot. What you experienced was pre-insanity security screening.
Come back and tell us what you think when a TSA guard has run the back of their hand across the most personal areas of your anatomy, or that of your young child.
No, but you're good to everyone if you get sent there for protecting your daughter from TSA molestation. Seriously, we'd see the true colors of this nation and the control the politicians and corporate overlords really hold if someone went berserk at a checkpoint trying to protect their child. It'd be easier for the nation to swallow if it were a mother, but a father might be close enough.
Tomorrows' headline (Slashdot version): "Father Imprisoned for Defending Toddler from Physical Abuse at TSA Checkpoint"
Tomorrow's headline (TSA Spin version, actually reported): "Violent Attacker Imprisoned for Seriously Injuring Anti-Terrorism Personnel after Checkpoint Security Breach".
I used to travel for business, but then I posted on the internet about how I would rather die in a terrorist attack than live in a police state where people who want to travel are subject to molestation.
FTFY. See, I don't travel for business, and I wouldn't take a job where travelling to the US would be mandatory because I outright refuse to kowtow to your outrageous border policies. No, you shouldn't live in fear of your government, but you actually have something to lose by pissing them off. I do not, as I've already resigned myself to never return to America. Being put on their No Fly list is moot; the USA is on mine.
... even if they have hostages and even if they have knives.
I totally agree, from the safety of my computer terminal many thousands of miles away from the US.
Now, hands up who volunteers to be the first one to get to the hijacker, more than likely to be mortally wounded, so that the rest may live.
Anybody?
We're too scared to say "No." to a barely competent security guard when he demands to manhandle a 4 year old. What makes you think we'll actually try and stop a plane hijacking? I can't help but think that this is armchair quarterbacking at its finest, as much as I hate to say it.
OBL himself stated in interview WAY before 2001 that the US was too big to attack directly, and must be destroyed from within. Bush on his big boat with the "Mission Accomplished" banner was just a joke; OBL was "Mission Accomplished" on 12/09/2001.
Likewise, if I were dumb enough to enter my data to fraudulent site, then it would be my responsibility to fix the issue, and rightfully so.
Does that apply if you are unaware of the fraud? For instance DNS hijack, MITM attack, both of which ensuring the first instance of you knowing of compromise is when you check your statement or the bank freezes your account? What about if your card is skimmed? It's happened to me, and I only ever use ATMs on bank buildings and am meticulous about shielding my PIN.
A lot of this isn't relevant to the story, but your statement is overly vague.
Stop being facetious and look up Junglefowl on Wikipedia. It's just like a domesticated chicken; Eats seeds, fruits, grubs, scratches in soil, even aesthetically very similar. It's obvious, even to the untrained eye, that these are very similar species, much more so than your big cat / domesticated cat analogy.
There are a many,many Linux users who will gladly pay the $50.00 for the latest title on Linux before dealing with the Mac or Win empires.
... until the very first instance that Steam DRM gets in the way of them playing games (unexpected outage, for instance). Then will be the nerdrage to end all nerdrages.
Bear in mind that many Linux users chose Linux for ideological reasons, including opposing vendor lock-in and DRM. Steam on Linux, for many, will be anathema.

Yes, get this geeky crap of Slashdot, we want more stories about Ron Paul and the TSA!

A little Google-fu reveals that domestic chickens are descended from Indian and Chinese Junglefowl.
