Yeah its really easy to beat. Get this, the student simply takes words that fit grammatically into sentences, then arranges some of these sentences together into contiguous-thought paragraphs! oh, wait.
If anything, the panicked exodus of the Saudis goes farther to demonstrate their innocence. Were they involved, they would have known far ahead of time and gotten out a week or a month before it even happened. think! They knew they were safer leaving, and they were right, considering the ignorant racial profiling that took place in the wake of the disaster.
This is exactly what everyone predicted what would happen when VHS was unveiled and coupled with cheap recording devices and rental stores. The ultimate problem is that copying a song analog with no automation at all is a *pain in the ass*. The thing that scares the record companies about CDs and P2P is that Getting songs from the media is extremely fast, popping in a cd and clicking 'go' in your favorite ripper results in a perfectly packaged CD in a few minutes, no errors, no degrading of quality. After that, hundreds of songs or even hundreds of albums can be copied to friends/strangers at once, with the click of a button. Even if there are ways around this, as long as they are cumbersome it will be worth it for the majority to not evade it.
Since when was Ashley Judd known as 'that girl'... oh wait this is/. and ive just taken the king dork crown for remembering that. back to the a/v club for me.
99% of the people you ask would say not having broadband would be the biggest blow to their freedom on the internet... unfortunately we have to take the good with the bad, or start kicking people off the net...
When will every single big brother horror story not end in 'and thats how they caught him with the cocaine and heroin' or 'and thats how they caught him speeding' or 'thats how they caught him paying blackmail money to the gay brothel'? Honestly with every account i hear about the governments new way to catch tax evaders or rapists through information networks i think 'Yay! less criminals'. The problem with big brother isnt that he's there, its that he has more than just the power to see into your living room. Start complaining about the DMCA, (like we dont enough) instead of the spyware the DOD uses... because its the law that creates the problem, not the technology to enforce it. Technology=Good and ErodingRights=Bad, there is a huge distinction.
Thats nothing! I've ran it (as a particular favor to several people who dont have the sense to run it themselves... i.e. women) The typical find is around 400 objects, mostly cookies but a good portion spyware binaries. The biggest find to date was 650. These weren't even people who were fond of porn sites or anything, just average naieve usage resulted in practically unusable computers in every case.
Price maybe? You can buy a 27" or larger tv for under $200 but good luck getting anything more than a 21" cheap-o monitor for near that price, and a 31" or 35" tv is within reason put a monitor of that size will be well over $1000. PCs are the way to go for control of video, it just stinks that noone has a reasonable quality RGB to component converter or similarly capable video card. But, that's where the playstation2 or xbox comes in. While basically a PC at heart, with some off the shelf parts and software you can convert it to a compact multimedia center with much more functionality than both a regular PC and a regular DVD player.
I trust you havent yet watched a movie on a display using component input? Its far clearer than s-video, and is standard on most dvd players and dvd related devices (game consoles), yet its not seen on any PC video cards. Many of the 'cheaper' dvd players have no function restrictions, letting you play straight to the movie, through trailers and menu sequences, apex being one of the best to cover all the bases (including disc compatibility).
I didnt catch 100% of the series but I gleaned from it the sense that the cylons wanted away with the humans like a bad case of roaches. 'Wasteful parasites' that consume their resources require eradication, and at one point they quoted something like 'kill them before they come back for revenge', demonstrating their desire to pursue the humans throughout space to make the universe a safer place for cylons.
While everyone is saying 'wow go south korea must be nice to have that kind of connection', consider the infrastructure in the US. We have multi-gigabit backbones crossing the US to many NAPs, and 100+mbit connections to just about every major city. And that's just the dedicated IP infrastructure, our voice-based and other private network capacities is many times that. The difference between us and them? We have to pay for ours directly. We have the freedom of choice, we dont have to wait for our government to decide how fast we should access our networks, and hence we bear the cost directly instead of indirectly. Just thought i would point that out.
If your microwave is putting out enough energy to foul tv reception, Id worry... id suspect its a dirty power supply, the same way a battery charger or other 'simple minded' device can interfere with TV tuning by corrupting AC power.
According to the article, the 800mb/person is just a figure of all the data divided by all the people. Its not like every phone call you make is getting recorded in a database somewhere (despite what some may think, that kind of extremeness is beyond banks require a fingerprint? Banks always need to know who you are before they go and hand you a stack of cash. Thats never changed, and i doubt they will be requiring RFID implants, unless incidences of passing bad checks continues to rise, in which case they will react the way anyone would in trying to protect their money. Supermarket grocery cards are a bit appaling in their ability to track information, but is knowing that you bought less butter this month at a certain store and more cheese at that store really going to lead to the end of privacy?
The simple fact is, at present, that its simply not economical to invade everyones privacy, all the time. When that changes, i.e. wireless cameras become so cheap that they show up on every streetsign and lamppost, then we can worry.
Just because noone has overdosed on marijuana does not mean its use can't incapacitate someone beyond their ability to properly act and react doing complex tasks, such as driving. How do you know I don't have research in my back pocket showing how many deaths were caused in whole or in part by marijuana? Because it never showed up on a pro-legalization 'fair news' website? Thank you for another instant assumption and harsh generalization. It's appreciated around here.
So you know the life story of at least 100 households? Thanks for your 'gasp those figures are huge they cant be true'. Marijuana itself is debilitating and combined with alcohol is doubly so. Lets hear how safe it is to drive in that kind of condition. Tell us please!
Have you considered anything beyond 'hey legal weed would be cool'?
Substances that clearly alter your state of mind, whether tained with cyanide or not, are addictive, and when consumed enough to 'satisfy', are harmful when that person tries to do things like work a forklift, or drive an Escalade down the freeway. Criminalizing alcohol leads to overdose? People still obtain and consume just as much retardedly powerful alcohol as they ever did, and can just as easily die of it. Laws can't change what kills a person.
Thank's for the reassurance that marijuana can't impair use of a motor vehicle. I will tell that to the millions of families who lost a loved one to a pothead who thought he was okay to drive. Is it so hard to believe that ANY drug that severely alters someones mental state can and will have negative consequences? No one told the heroin addict that he should shoot 30 grams of it, but its very likely that someone told him he shouldnt shoot ANY, and what did he do, he tried it anyway, became inebriated, and shot his neighbor so he could pawn his TV to cover his next fix.
The problem is human psychology, and the lack of foresight on the part of anyone who sees certain drugs as better or worse than others.
Anyone foolish enough to say 'hey i would like to hurt myself today' doesnt need drugs to accomplish that goal, there are plenty of cliffs and rooftops for them to realize their dream.
You're going to tell the millions of people whose lives have been devastated by abuse of ANY substance that 'hey sorry youre dead, its the american way'? I find it hard to believe that one person died every 30 minutes as a result of prohibition enforcement (as is the current fatality rate with drunk driving ALONE).
The legality of these substances has little to do with the harm they can cause, its the fact that they can and will be abused as long as they are readily available to people desiring to consume them, and that many people will be hurt or killed along the way. What exactly is unclear about that?
Are you high right now? The problem with drugs isn't that they are illegal to purchase or posess, it's that theyre DRUGS. Look how many lives are devastated or lost by using/abusing legal pain medications, or alcohol, or even tobacco. We need to think a little bit farther ahead than 'lets make them all legal and see what happens' because doing so would only create 10 more problems to take the place of one. We need to create safer controlled substances, and make them harder to obtain or abuse by ANYONE, including children. If marijuana has true medical applications, put it in an easily consumed form and prescribe it to those who could benefit from it. The same goes for heroin, opium, and cocaine (yeah, GREAT idea). Saying there should be no laws against use/abuse of clearly harmful substances is just wrong.
Im not sure in what part of the spectrum it engages in exactly, (i believe X10 is ISM 433Mhz) but i use new style fluorescent bulbs and have no problem using X10 gear, to turn them on and off, or for other appliacnces in areas where lots are in use. My house runs on 100% fluorescents, and Ive never had anyone say 'thats ugly color', in fact 99% of people cant tell the difference. I am annoyed a lot by office style tube fluorescent bulbs, but have no issues with new coil-style.
I don't know about you, but im realizing the same benefits as they claim you get from LEDs, but my bulbs cost a whopping $2 for a lamp bulb and $3 for a fixture bulb. Flourescent! Cheap, no heat, hard(er) to break. Think about it.
I have a feeling that something that inaccurate isnt a danger to anyone except the guy looking to take out those grid controls somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. He's gonna be out there a while.
Its good to see this sort of stuff put to paper anyway. As a Free/Open software implementer working on developing cheap-as-possible wireless access points for rural area internet distribution, I can say this IS useful. Problems like this, and many others, creep out of nowhere and are very hard to track down without expensive equipment. This specific problem happened and was remedied after much head-scratching by dividing one site into multiple cells so slow users had more 'time' to get their data. just my 0.02
Thats a bigger load of bullshhh than I've ever seen before, and thats including all of high school! Its times like these/. needs a 'retarded' moderation.
