All of the files on the thumb drive are mine, so I don't care about permissions. Nearly of the tools I use are CLI based and don't ask whether to "open or run". Are you carrying around programs on your drive?
Have you tried mounting the device w/ the `noexec` option? Might as well use `noatime` also to save some wear and tear on the drive if it's supported by your filesystem.
Agreed. Simple web browser usage used to compare Linux and XP shows a 25% _increase_ in battery life under Linux. This was mostly doing research and reading emails. Flash sites tend to draw down the battery so I hold off on those until back on AC power. this was with a work issued laptop from Dell. I don't recall the model.
All of the circuit panels I've worked with have the different legs alternating in each column.
IOW, there are two columns. In the left column, the top spot will connect to "leg A", the next one down will be "leg B", next is "leg A" again, and so on. Each connection point is 120v. The 'dual/double' breakers you see utilize both 120v legs of the incoming power to make 240v. These double breakers span two adjacent connection points in the panel.
The right hand column will be the inverse of the left in terms of which leg is present at each location.
Ignoring the obvious 'unjust' laws such as prostitution and lesser drugs, wouldn't the current jail system indicate that the system isn't working?
My concern is the harder criminals who server only a few years. Instead of them coming out stronger criminals, let's give them a reason to not come back.
Psyche, please read the other posts in the thread. I had a good conversation w/ Apropos. Let me know what other ideas you have in regards to though messages.
Wow, most of the time I say Quaker, people think of oatmeal.
As I don't work too much in the field, I don't know what the different penalties are. Minor infarctions shouldn't be handled w/ the heavy hand I alluded to in the first post. I had the scenario of violent crime in mind. I should have stated that.
If someone had a bench warrant for not paying a speeding ticket in a town around here where the court was in session only 2 weeks, my harsh stance wouldn't apply as I see it.
It's a tough problem to figure out and I wish I had a solution.
How would you propose long term or life inmates be handled. Let's use murder for an example. The person will (hopefully) never be returning to society. Should they be relegated to serving the community through working off their life sentence? Since release is not an option, should they be relegated to hard labor? Not as in breaking big rocks into little ones, but doing the jobs nobody else is volunteering for?
An example of someone who I think could be offered reform would be a prostitute. While it may be the world's oldest profession and possibly not a reason to be in jail, I think that a person in this situation may be a prime candidate for reform.
What are your thoughts about this option? Instead of being sent to jail, have this prostitute provide evidence of successful completion of a course on general data entry at a community college. I don't have any figures, but I could imagine that the cost of providing training for this individual would be less than that of imprisoning them, especially since they aren't overly endangering the general public.
Before this conversation ends, I'd like to know what you've been reading. The last fiction I read was "Last of the Breed". I'd like to read what you've read to further develop my ideas.
I can see your point about some of the laws not being the way that I would have written if I were king. Alas, you and I are king. If someone elects to live in America, they must abide the laws. These laws are, for the most part, consistent with society at large. Most folks in jail aren't there for 'civil disobedience' issues.
First, let me say that this repsonse made me laugh. Not in the "Oh hey, look at the moron" sense, but I like the humor in your post. It's shows the intellect behind your opinion.
I don't think the point is moot. I have a malleable mind (drat, there's that alliteration again) and am open to hear others' ideas.
What little religious faith I have is in the Quaker mindset. They had something to do w/ the 'modernization' of the prisons (in Philly?). They believed the conditions were too harsh. As a human, I'd love to believe that enriching people while they are in prison would be a worthwhile endeavor. I don't see that happening. While growing up through high school, my family taught equality and acceptance. Once I started living my own life, I've seen that this might not be the best approach. Some sub-cultures in America have placed a mark of honor on those that have been incarcerated. They have not availed themselves to the oppurtunities that their "jaunt/bid" in prison provided to them. They are just 'goofing off' until their time is up. There is no deterrent to keep them from coming back.
Maybe there should be a tiered system. 1st time offenders are provided w/ the means to better themselves. Subsequent visitors have to earn their return to society.
I would be thrilled to see all prisoners learn a trade and once they were released, they could be a productive citizen. In its current form, prison sentences aren't doing this. This is why I advocate making prison harder.
One other issue I have is that once your sentence is complete, it should be forgiven. It should not hinder you. As a felon, you shouldn't have to appeal your right to vote or buy a gun.
I'm interested in hearing your stance. As I said, I have a mal^h^h^h flexible mind.
Since you're obviously more enlightened than a medieval mental midget (oh, look, I can use alliteration also) what makes you think that our jails aren't harsh enough?
FWIW, cable isn't available. If it were, I still don't think I'd subscribe. Possibly, but I doubt it.
Sheath, Please pass along some of whatever you're smoking!!
You're confused. Highly. The examples you use are about removing rights of the general population. These folks are in jail. Make them earn their re-acceptance into society. What they're getting now is a vacation, not punishment.
Remediation isn't working. Turn jail back to punishment instead of providing for '3 hots and a cot' where they get to watch cable, hang out, workout, play sports, and,in general, live better than those serving our country. If you do let them out of their cells, make them work. A make the work hard. Our jails are a virtually untapped wealth of labor. Put it to good use.
One point the article doesn't point out is that while their great idea to "keep the light in sight" also allows for students to blow off the last marking period. In the plan, no grade can be below 50%. For this example, let's assume a less than stellar student scores an average grade of 70% during the first two marking periods. To pass the class w/ a 'D', the sum of all the grades for all four quarters will need to be at least 240. After the first half of the year, our mediocre student has tallied 140 points. This leaves 100. Luckily for her, the mental midgets on the school board give her a minimum of 50 for any grade period
Ah yes, I'm the idiot because you cannot figure out their business model. My fault. I apologize.
Since you're assuming you exist in all circles regarding data recovery, they must need you're recommendation. Once you get past the fact you're a nobody, you'll understand why these companies have no interest in your petty games.
And to appease your little friend, Yes, I agree, I'm an idiot. Stroke your friend well tonight in thanks.

So we should bury the refuse instead of utilizing as much as we can?
Clearly, you've been educated beyond your intellect.

This also allows for students that perform within 'C' range to take half the year off.

Can anyone think of a what to (ab)use the interlacing on a CCD? I'm thinking along the lines the way corduroy pants end up looking odd in digital pcs.
Any transparent LCDs out there that could alter the image such as making a '0' into an '8'? Such a system could be disabled from inside the vehicle?
How about old-school? My jeep is stained w/ mud already, why not add some to the license plate? )Besides the laws prohibiting this naturally.
