I agree, I would not let them have unsupervised access to my machines, either. But if they are the only ones that know that machine, then you might not be able to just replace them. Luckily, I was able to make a reasonable arrangement with them. Of course, the time for the arraingment is before the disaster, not after! 8-)
It is not the point of the US constitution to help the government or to protect the individual citizens from danger. It is there to Limit the government and prevent it from doing things. Citizens are assumed to be able to protect themselves, at least until help arrives. The government and police are not there to take care of you. (Much as most police would like to protect everyone, and do the best they can...) That is how it was set up, and how it still is, reguardless of what some people think of it.
The other courses were designed a hundred years ago for the children of the rich, who had no intention of going to work at all.
They are still good for people that want to learn more, and already have a good job. But you don't have to major in greek history just to look classy...
Secure what you can, leave what you can't. Ever little bit helps, nothing is ever perfect protection. Hope the police can catch them after other crimes, before they get around to you. That's how it is.
And, hope that the government doesn't decide, that not following all of the recomendations is grounds for some penatly... Yikes!
... There are exceptions, like military bases, federal buildings, or many private owned areas (like a football stadium), but for the most part you can take as many pictures of whoever you want in public areas and it does not violate the law.
Except, nowdays any public area can be a terget of terrorists, so taking pictures in any area can get you in trouble with US Homeland Security!
and what would you call individuals who hack into and steal from multiple systems routinely? Last I checked, someone who commits crimes is a criminal. English is funny that way.
True. But the police only go get them after the crime has occurred, and that is often too late for the individual victim. All citizens need to take at least some precautions for themselves. How much, is a personal choice...
Yeah, I live a neighbourhood where I don't need to use the locks on my doors, the alarm system, bars on the windows, neighbourhood watch, guard house, nor a private security company.
And how dangerous is your neighbourhood? Ever thought of living somewhere safer?
I live in a similar town. People often leave there cars unlocked and their doors unlocked. Most of them also own guns. Very quiet.
... Welcome to laws. You don't want me to protect myself against criminals. That's not what we call a civilized society. I don't keep a suit of armour in the garage. I don't have a shield on-hand. I don't have chain-mail shirts -- ok, I do have one, but it's a halloween costume, and it's heavy.
The government and the police have no legal requirement to protect any individual. (Much as most want to, and do the best they can.) The police are tasked to apprehend criminals. That's different. The citizens are expected to protect themselves, at least as long as it takes for the police to get there. Be warned...
A place where the police are tasked with protecting all citizens, individually, is called a "police state". It is generally agreed that no one really wants to live there.
Not a circle, a figure eight. But otherwise correct. No-one can hold a rifle completely still.
However, teaching new students this technique may result in their having problems with flinching, because they "know" when the rifle will fire. Better to teach the "squeeze evenly and be surprised by the recoil" technique.
If you are very experienced with rifles and have had all of the training, then this might help. But even then it can cause flinching problems.
Short answer: Because when they upgrade all of their systems stop working, they can't get their work done and everyone gets laid off until it is fixed. Even the bosses...
I really wish Microsoft would resist the temptation to break old usages. Sometimes they are backwards compatible and sometimes they are not. Let them test their own stuff, instead of making me test it.
And it is not the police's job to protect citizens. See Warren v. District of Columbia
This is true. If the police don't save you, you can't sue them. Because that is not actually their job, much as most police try...
The technical term for a place where the police DO have the job of protecting the individual citizens is a "Police State". It is generally agreed than no-one actually wants to live in a police state.
Drugs are banned so there are no drugs on the street, right?
... You're ignorance is showing.
There is a big difference between outlawing behavior and banning inanimate objects. Banning objects seems to always result in windfall profits for criminal gangs and more danger for citizens. The truth is that laws cannot control the whole world and sometimes the laws are worse than not doing anything. But people don't like to hear that, so the politicians don't say it. And we get the "worse than nothing"...
... It's bad enough as it is. Privatizing it would just remove all accountability, not that there is that much now. If it really were a call to abolish the TSA, that is something that many freedom lovers could get behind.
You have it backwards. If something is part of the government, there is no one left to oversee it. If it is Not part of the government, then there is at least a chance of getting government oversite.
Your mistake was voting for the lesser evil because you wanted to vote for someone who might win. That is the surest way to waste your vote in the american system....
It does not matter that the Green candidate won't win. What matters is that the other parties see the Green party get votes that they could have if they adopt some of the green party's policies as their own next time....
I wish I had points to mod this up!
So many people think the election is a test, to see if they can guess who will win.
Hasn't entanglement and "spooky action at a distance" been proposed as evidence of the universe as simulation? In other words, the simulation doesn't resolve an observation until it is needed?
Or, is it just "instument loading" ? Like reading a high impedance circuit with a cheap voltmeter. I suspect -all- of out instruments for quantum states are still pretty crude!
Or, is it that we don't find out which (infinitelly) parallel universe -we- are in, until we look to see...
What is the point of replacing 'fucking' by 'f****ng', 'ass' by 'a**' and 'dick' by 'd**k'? In the context you can still clearly tell what the words being used are.
Deamons (automatic programs) that trigger on the exact spelling, doing something to (needlessly?) block it.

MS Windows was always known as a toy and novelty, from the beginning. Maybe they don't like someone else using the term? 8-)

If they payed half a million dollears for the machines, and no one else makes them, it might be a bit costly to fire the supplier! 8-)

That's like saying that a single dust mote can start a rainstorm, if there is a storm cloud there. So lets ban clouds!

On the other hand, I do use it myself...
HTH.
It sounds like a marketing speech. I seriously doubt that they know what is really involved in hitting a distant target.
The most likely result, of the system described, is to prevent the rifle from ever firing!

There's little that is as dangerous as "effective government". The more gridlock, the better, I always say.
The US government is Designed to prevent things from being done, that's how it is -supposed- to work. Thats what was written about it back then...

It sounds like you want a King. We've been there and done that, and it was even worse.
Register and vote, even if you think it doesn't help. Because, if you don't then your vote most certainly won't count.
