It's obvious that the election was corrupt... that's just the facts -- whom it was corrupt for, probably a little bit of both but I guess the Democrats were just more cunning... Whatever.
I'm in full agreeance with you regarding her wide spreading legislation. She just passed a $0.09/gallon gas tax (as well as other controversial budget changes) to help pay for mostly Seattle-area construction projects. I'm closely involved with many non-Seattle area folks, and that's just not fair to do to them. Why not cancel the idiotic monorail tax and defer that money into construction projects? Why not increase the Seattle area sales tax a half a percent? Why is the rest of Washington being forced to pay for Seattle area projects?
Then I think about the fact that the Seattle area has the highest concentration of Democrats, as the governer race rested on what happened in King County. I think it's doubly insulting to see a governor that wasn't clearly elected, win by a county that benefits the most from her placement, favor that county.
Got a portfolio? I got a PBE that is short hours, as short or as long as you want to make it.
I pay $50 per "object" and will provide advertising for any artist who launches. Drop me an email at jshirley at the notorious gmail.com if you are interested.

I missed the opportunity to meet the pilot, but I've heard really good things about him.
I figured that About.com was a touch authoritative, to prevent the "That isn't a valid resource!" arguments.
For the IFCS, the laws of physics became so damned out of what we had to use a 32-dimension neural network to manage them. As the network trained on the physical attributes of the plan, it could "learn" the most efficient way to fly given almost any "catastrophic" failure. I left right before the test flight (Jan, 1999:() and I'm quite sad I missed it. A different team, if you like this sort of stuff, was working on a branch of the IFCS that could control a 747 purely with thrust given complete hydraulic failure. John Bull (Apollo) was the head on that... very cool stuff.
This NASA project was the direct result of that occurance.
Mr. Jogensen was my boss, I can tell you that the Israeli pilot did in fact fly with his wing missing. It is quite possible to do so, although very difficult.
Part of the flight simulator for this flight control system was to "blow" the wing off the F-15 Active to demonstrate how poorly it flies without it.
More information on About.com, but here's the relevent section:
Accordingly, the F-15 was designed with broad-chord wings supplemented with additional lift from the upper surface of the wide fuselage. This feature showed its value several years later in the Middle East, when an Israeli F-15 lost its right wing in combat and was still able to return to its base for a normal landing.
Can you put up an example of what is so terrible about KDE/Linux? Of course you can't because there simply are no major shortcomings compared to Windows.
Sure, try to share a printer with Windows and then do it with Linux using KDE.
I guaran-fucking-tee you that you can do it faster than Windows than you can with Linux, assuming you can do it at all. After you get it setup, try having SMB pick it up, or CUPS, on your other boxes automatically. It won't happen.
My first thought was why the hell Rockstar Games is at CES advertising GTA4. That really makes me feel bad when the first thing I think of when I hear "Sin City" is GTA4... At least it's not that bad with San Andreas, then I just think of death and destruction.
Wasting your breath, amigo. This guy is so far out of whack, L. Ron Hubbard and that ralien guy are trying to offer him a membership to their club.
It's not the fact that Adrian violated laws. It's the fact that he is a "freedom fighter." That's what twitter is saying. Unfortunately, he's a fucking idiot and doesn't understand that one mans freedom is anothers prison. Not always the case, but he's a FSF zealot beyond what is healthy.
I study case law all the time without LexisNexis and I don't have any issues at all. Many states have cases indexed and Google does the indexing quite well. Granted, LexisNexis is "the best" -- but, that is why you pay for it!
Everything should be free! Anything that costs money is obviously evil, and anybody trying to get that for free is a saint.
On the off-chance that you come back and read this, heirarchical databases were designed and constructed for a valid reason: they represent real-life data.
The problem with heirarchical systems was it took too much computing time, which has since been taken care of (look at my P4 2.4ghz, a long way from my TRS-80) and is now a valid method for storing data.
Relational systems were setup to be a computationally effective way to arrange data. XML is currently the leader for heirarchical systems, hence why I suggested it. Yes, it does have issues, but I wouldn't say it is braindamaged.
Hey, that site you have going on is pretty nifty. Have you thought of breaking the data out from MySQL and storing it into XML? Doing a true heirarchical database (... style) would be quite nice. Great work, if that's your site though. Just wanted to send you some props.
Depending upon your tastes, yes. If you are looking for rock, go check out the B'z. They were (maybe still are?) doing an American tour, and put on a great show. Very good music, lots of fun to listen to, and they are incredibly famous (Like the Eagles, as far as record sales go)
Sorry, but American culture started getting into Japan in the 1850s. The first English teacher was a cast-away, and was brought to teach English as a captive, and was later very popular in Japan. He returned to Washington state to die, but there maintained a lot of interaction between Japan and the US after that. Also in Washington were the first Japanese on American soil when they crashed their ship.
Japanese culture was and remains strong having been developed as an island culture.
Japanese culture is heavily influenced by that around it, it's just imperialist and almost xenophobic. The Japanese government forced a closed border to prevent cultural tapping prior to Meiji. Then the Meiji Administration decided to go conquer the whole of eastern Asia...
It simply requires people to stop that horribly moronic "top-posting" style of response.
If I want to respond piecemeal to an email, the only sane way to do it is to write my responses in between your paragraphs. As responses accumulate, back and forth, other readers see an easy-to-read flow of conversation. And "other readers" will include myself, reading old mail weeks/months/years after the fact.
Trying to respond point-by-point while keeping all of your text preceeding the other person's text is hopeless. And fucking stupid to boot. English reads down the page, you top-posting mouth-breathing idiots, not "scroll all the way to the bottom, scroll up a bit, read the paragraph downwards, scroll upwards over it, read the response downwards until you get to the previous text, scroll back upwards again, lather, rinse, repeat, until eventually you get to the top." I call for the painful tortuous death of whichever "human interface engineer" thought this would ever be a good idea and made it the default mode of GUI mailers.
Nobody is stopping anybody from innovating their way into a job. There is no obligation from anybody to continue to employ those who are better suited not being employed. I hear stories about people being out of work for over a year, and I have to wonder what is wrong with them. I've been unemployed twice in the last three years, and the longest I've been unemployed was 7 weeks.
The fault is not in the system, but in the individuals that make up that system. If you think of the economy as a net of distributed programming agents, each with different groups of agents, you can see that the transition of one primary job to another group will not harm the complete structure of the first. Perhaps in a short term period, but only if the first group cannnot survive without that group.
The thing that people seem to be forgetting is that these jobs didn't exist 20 years ago. Our economy isn't driven by these jobs, nor was it ever. It was a passing fad, much like big hair and brightly colored pants. Don't glamorize it purely because you are in that cluster, either innovate your way into a different cluster or face obsolences. Either way, the fault lies in the individual, not the system.
The system can always support the person, but only if that person is willing to support the system. Often times this means learning new skills, and changing the quality of life. Many people are not able to cope with these changes, and instead choose to become a victim. In case I've been to subtle, I have no sympathy for those "victims."
Just having one password shared by all, and changing it when someone leaves is just as effective, isn't it? Given that they know the algorithm and all the keys (in this case, the machine names) this is in effect exactly what the method we're discussing reduces to, I think.
This system ensures that one password is unique amongst machines. Instead of having one password for many machines, you have one generator which generates one password unique to each machine.
Time? I hadn't thought of that. However, once the device is lost, you had better hope that the user selected a hard to guess password:) I'll have to have a look at these devices, though.
Enigma and Shark (ww2) both used time-generated seeds. Just feeding a pseudorandom number generator with time can be enough for password security.
If the person who left knows the algorithm and the key selection method (eg. machine names) I think this is effectively what you are doing anyhow.
The key would be a pass phrase, the seed (salt) would be machine name. Think of unix passwords, the first two bytes are the salt. The rest is crypt() of the password using the salt. You can't guess the original password. Same type of thing, except you use the machine name as salt. Read the man page for crypt() for more info on it.
If people could generate hard to guess passwords from easy to remember ones, it would be a useful process to get people to perform when faced with the eternal "select a new password" problem.
It really is all about keeping the passphrase secret. Muscle response could allow repitition after just a few times. Write it down on a post-it note, login and logout till you can do it via memory, then burn the post-it note. People selecting easy passwords should be shot. Er, I guess I got to go give myself a good talking to.

People are getting huffy about losing jobs that didn't exist 10 years ago. That's what amuses me the most.

Yeah, he succeeded.
