Actually, both schools had alarms by private companies, I think they were using WellsFargo security. The problem is, neither had sensors on the roof. The cameras in the parketing lots DID pick them up, but they didn't trigger any alarms so the police viewed the tapes after it was discovered something was wrong. In the case with damaging the ACs on the roof, they had completely destroyed them in the first 5 minutes. Even if the cops had caught them they had cost the schools more than their sorry asses were worth.
Ok, maybe if you can't have it mailed to you, you can come pick up your check. But you have to schedule a time to do so... To give the cops a heads up on when to be there (if your suspect of course.)
I'm just trying to get a way for the cops to follow the money to the hands of the theives.
One weekend last spring, some guys broke into a local school. Actually, the broke THROUGH the roof. They proceded to cut out copper water pipes, the 3" kind,that runs through the attic crawl space. They never even shut the damn water off. They not only damaged the plumbing by stealing the copper, but they damaged damn near the whole building with water damage. Think about how much water comes out of a 3" pipe in 12 hours. Three months later and half a million, the school reopened.
Back in the middle of the summer, one night a daycare had BOTH of its units stolen. They found the units sans copper 100 yards away from the entrance to a copper recycler.
Another school this summer had their AC's hit on the roof. They got very little copper off of them, but they were new and cost 100k each. The kids were very hot this fall. (Alabama)
My point is, it's not lying around, it's IN USE. Sure, it's stupid to leave copper pipes on a job site. Hell, I see the phone company leaving spools of fiber in neighborhoods, but these assholes are destroying things that can't be secured, or should already be considered secure.
Agreed, all of my rules together are overkill. Pick and choose a few here and there and suddenly it's a lot less attractive crime. Especially when a good number of people (here anyway) have the goal of steal copper->Get high within 2 hours.
2. PO Box... to get a POBox, do you have to tell the post office your real address? I'm just trying to make it so the cops can follow the check back to the perps.
Also, as for the license, you can make it specific to types of metal and weights. If someone is bringing in aluminum cans, no limit, pay them now. There's no way they're 'stealing' beer cans off the side of the road. But if someone drives up with 100lbs of raw copper pipe, or an AC Condenser or a freakin' spool of copper on an axel (the kind they drag behind utility trucks) make them wait.
I had worked out a few rules in the past, they were aimed at our local market's problems.
The basic idea is to make it where it's not instant gratification. In Mobile, people will go to a school/church/daycare (any place that they know is closed) rape their AC Units/Building Plumbing, get a check from their recycling center, get crack/pot/meth, get high, all within a few hours.
1. Require a 3 day holding period by the recycling plant.
2. Require that checks are MAILED to the recycler at the end of 3 days. (NO PO BOX)
3. Require a recycler registration card. Nothing fancy, just a hoop to go through.
4. Only accept metals during normal business hours (you know, we have a 24 hour recycling center here, wonder what that's for)
5. Have the ability for law enforcement to come inspect the stuff in holding without a warrant.
6. The recycling center has to keep a log with Recylcer's registration #, weight, date and description of material recycled (and if they looked strung out) which is also inspected without warrant.
Yall help me out, what else would work here?
Ok, does this mean that vista will finally let me use my stereo Bluetooth headset to listen to winamp? I bought this thing for music, only to find out vista doesn't do stero a2dp, I think it is...
Apparently having that is up to the chipset driver writers. I got a dell BT keyboard/mouse combo, which is a rebranded Logitech one... doesn't work out of the box. From what I've read you can download alternative drivers for the same chipset (widcomm) that are from another manufacturer (toshiba) or you can try your hand at 3rd party drivers (blue soliel) but you have to pay. Have you ever seen a DEMO DRIVER! It times out after 5MB of data has been pushed!
Oh, and this 2.1 stack has been out for a while now, but only to OEM's who wanted to package it for customers. Well, Dell didn't seem to think it was worth it, neither did logitech. So, I can't really tell if it's going to help me or not.
Frustrating.
My wife works at a pharmacy, lots of old people telling stories. Not a chain, but the pharmacist IS the owner... Anyway, apparently they get a lot of stories from old ladies about eating rabbits and squirrels. Apparently they are so lean that a diet of them causes protein poisining. They say to live off of them you HAVE to eat the eyes because that's where all the fat is.
I'm glad possum, coon and gator don't have this problem, I couldn't stand eating EYES!
Wow, when will we ever get this? The lower wattage bulb comment is obviously flamebait. We get dupe's (redundant) stories all the time. This is a feature/. needs. I want to browse the frontpage with my story threshold at 2.
Yeah, I know we can pick catagories, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I don't know about where you guys are at, but we are having exactly the opposite problem. I'm in Mobile, Alabama, and I have heard MANY people comment on the HUGE amount of acorns we are getting this year. My wife and I tried to sit on the deck yesterday and watch the kids play, but every time a kid came buy we would get pelted. I raked the yard and after I was done, I had about 30lbs of acorns I had to get up with a shovel.
I have noticed fewer squirrels around though.
Yeah, we may be #1 in the AP, BCS, USA and EPSN polls. And yeah, we're 11 and 0...
But none of that matters to us. Beating Auburn is all that matters. We've lost the last 6, it's time to fix that. And sure, you may say Auburn is only 5-6, and Alabama is favored to win by 14pts. But none of that matters in this game.

Don't read Tolkien's less common stuff. By less common, I mean, haven't had a movie made out of it yet. I've been working on the tales from middle earth/unfinished stories boxed set... Woah, talk about a lot of propper names! Names for places, elves, dwarves, dragons, etc... Add to that the fact that one person may have 5 names over time (big characters like gandalf have more.) AND that he'll throw out a name, expecting that you know it, even though it may be the first/only time ever used, or you would have had to read a previous/later work to know it.
There are proper names for trees, jems, weapons, armor, animals, etc.
I know I sound like I'm complianing, but I'm really enjoying it. Some are easier to read than others. Some are dissapointing because the tales are UNFINISHED!
Who goes and dies before they finish their books!
I'm waiting for the Silmarillian movie;)

I didn't look at the comaparison until I read your post, but for me it jumped out without looking. Guess I've been doing this for too long. The lighting is very different on her and the flag. The mask line around the hair is VERY sharp... Masking hair is difficult to get right.
Then I looked at the comparison and was amazed at how good a job they did on HER. They put strands back in her hair, warmed the flesh tones, the eyes look natural...
If you look at the collar of her inner shirt and a little bit of her outter shirt on the left collar (my left) you can see that some of the layer used on the flesh got on the shirt.
I find it funny such care was taken in cleaning her up, but then just slapping that flag behind her... It's as though someone decent did the body, then later some nobody came by with the Magic Lasso and masked out the room.
This also works great for a team of sysadmins... We always had the on-call pager, and in the battery compartment we had all the need-to-know phone numbers...
Now, I work for a smaller company, there's no one to hand off to. Oh well, up time is also not quite as critical either.
All of the major hospitals in this area still require doctors to have pagers.
Pagers can be used in info sensitive, and interference sensitive areas. I've never seen a no pager zone. Hospitals can't have phones because the interference (google GSM interference) problems with monitors, and with the HIPPA problems with people being able to photo sensitive info.
I'm not sure what he's talking about on call screening.
On batteries, he's saying a single AA battery will last months. No charging. My BBCurve will go a day or two without a charge. My old moto pager would eat a battery every 2 months.
Not sure the point on ringtones.
As far as reception, a pager needs MUCH less of a signal for it to receive it's itty bitty page. A cell phone needs to maintain a strong signal because it's required for a decent 2 way call.
I can see the point of a pager as a sysadmin. I've been suffering through with a blackberry as well, having monitors send SMS. The blackberry isn't loud (a pager in the house used to wake me up no matter WHERE I left it.) If I ever mute the phone because I went somewhere quite, I have to remember to turn it back on. I've missed SMS's because of ATT, never used to miss anything from the paging service. I've gotten pages when I was miles out in the Gulf of Mexico fishing, long after I lost cell reception.
Until the phone companies make true paging a feature (pages aren't subject to the settings of calls, SMS, apps, etc) they will not be the same.
Now, as far as why this is asked on slashdot? Google for pager service, tons of info. If that doesn't help find anyone local, then go to the nearest hospital, find a random doctor with a pager and ask them if they know who it's through. A lot of the time the pager is branded, or will at least have a sticker on it with the company it's from.
Today must be low UID day.
Anyway, let me know when you get some software for that cloud. I've got plenty of old hardware sitting around, and since my company downsized, quite a bit that's not so old... but unfortunatly we've never been able to put all the parts in one box and get one REALLY fast computer. Cloud processing may fix that one day for things that are not latency sensitive.
32... I wish I would have created an account when they started. At the time, this was just another website that wanted a username... I wasn't interested. Oh well.
Go to 4:05 in the video. On the far left, you can see from the blue intel line that the guest is running there, then they migrate, and the blue line goes to the idle point, and the orange line starts taking the load. But NOTICE, the AMD line is consistantly higher than the intel line was. I'm no intel fanboy... or AMD. I have both intel and amd servers in my racks. I just thought it was interesting, and I'm surprised they let the video go out like that.

there used to be a local homeless guy that used to sleep in a substation because it was warm in the winter. He hasn't been around for a while.
In an unrelated story, they found a guy fried beyond all recognition in a substation recently.
