  1. What? on Knife-Wielding Gorilla Shocks Zoo Visitors · · Score: -1

    Actually what really happened is this... Every year Calgary holds "The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede" (it's the GREATEST OUTDOOR SHOW ON EARTH GUYS! All the marketing tells me so!). Millions of people visit the city, and things get out of hand real fast, drunk tourists, cows escaping and roaming the streets, hay bales tripping innocent victims, etc etc. The city implemented a new safety procedure this year whereby all children, seniors and animals are to be trained in self defense in case of riots and/or

    You know that somebody in Hollywood is going to write a 'B' action movie entirely around this garment. We already had the movie Barb Wire, so maybe it will be a remake.

  8. Re:big issue is NoScript on Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript · · Score: -1

    Can you perhaps explain the non-Javascript version in simpler terms than what's on the story's webpage? The explanation on the page is either very vague, or over my head. (Or both.)I fully understand how you can use Javascript to grab the computed style of the A tag and figure out if it matches the ":visited" style you have defined, but what I don't get is how he's grabbing the style using only server-side technologies. Since when is it possible for a web server to tell the computed style of an element?

    Bad apples stand out in every walk of life. The good, honest competent people (or at least the ones who aren't egregiously stupid) are almost invisible next to the loud and wrong idiots, who draw attention for being both loud and wrong.

    If someone download a movie, game or song doesn't mean they would have paid for it if they couldn't. So those loss calculations are wrong

    Just because the court doesn't see it the same as you doesn't mean the system is broke. It more likely you don't understand your free speech rights or rights to privacy.

  14. Re: on French Three-Strikes Law Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: -1

    Yeah, unfortunately our three branches system lacks an entity charged with removing laws with no effect.The courts won't do it. Congress doesn't care. The executive likes them because they can threaten people with them, or ruin someone's life with them, then drop the case before it gets to the court and is thrown out.A fourth body, who job it was to review all laws, and propose a list each year (based on criteria like "law on the books for a decade with no convictions based on it" or similar) that would be automatically stripped from US code unless congress and the president specifically re-approved and re-signed them.That should be one of congress's jobs, but they have no interest in spending time on "old business".

    Assuming you have control of a decent firewall on both ends you can just reroute all your outbound traffic on port 53 to something of your choosing (lets say 16053) and then reroute the inbound traffic from 16053 to 53.

    If you decide you're going to rig up a "fake hanging" of any kind, be sure that the noose is actually hanging from given structure using a strand or two (at most) of 6lb test monofilament. If you slip, the monofilament will snap LONG before you're injured by the noose around your neck.

    Let's suppose land is very cheap. There are a lot of valid businesses and families who would like to build offices and houses. Unfortunately, somebody with no interest in the land at all got there first, bought all the land, and is now selling it for a ten thousand times as much as he paid.Sure, it's legal. Perhaps it's even a valid business. But he's still a scumbag because he's doing nothing productive other than costing people money who actually want to do something productive.

    There already is. I have no idea how much it costs, but a Navy recruiter was in my house yesterday. Took out this little handy dandy plastic thing, similar to but larger than a blood sugar test strip. My son put a drop of blood on the thing, waited for a few minutes, and his prescreen for drugs was finished. They photocopied the strip, the son and the recruiter put their signatures on the paper, and that paper becomes a part of the kid's permanent record.Quick and easy, it tested for several common drug

    DARE is not drug education. That is a horrific bad drug scare that leaves emotional damage and bigoted views about drug users, or it's an advertisement to a curious young moderately rebellious child.
