"the vapor of one cup of gasoline has the explosive power of about five pounds of dynamite". ergo flammable is a minor point. The stuff burns so rapidly, as to constitute an explosion. Explosions are rapidly expanding walls of gases.
Except that the inept "security experts' convienently forgot that in ALL the years since the first plane hijacking, ANYONE could have brought a container of GASOLINE, and a Bic lighter, aboard these planes. Disquised it as juice, or not.
One cup of petrol contains a huge explosive potential. How stupid are these bozo's?
ALL of these "security experts" need to be removed. They are just too plain stupid. They should all be forced to repay every penny they have received as payment for their "expertise".
Agreed, thin clients basically replace beefy work stations with BEEFY servers located at remote sites. It is all a trade-off. Desptops that reimage themselves daily are a decent solution since the desktops are getting more powerful daily, and the price is dropping. Network storage for all active files etc.
I used Cytrix back when they first started. The only bebefit thin clients gave me was slightly more desk space at the workstation, plus no floppies. The servers had to be real brutes, loaded with memory. This was in 1997.
We may have improved thin clients, but they are constantly using bandwidth.
"The feds say they have jurisdiction over the case because the police car is partly U.S. government property since the S.F.P.D. receives federal anti-terrorism money."
This is like saying that since I am an American citizen, that there is some portion of the collective "Amreican Dream/Resources" that is owned by ME, and I have the say , to be able to stop the government from drilling in Alaska or anywhere, and selling MY portion of the public reosurces to anyone. Hmmmm.
What I think would be a really sexy PC is a high capacity USB style drive that self-boots to whatever port it is plugged into and through software, emulates or virtualized any OS desired.
All I want is a USB powered 8 port device and a USB style mass of memory. Ooops, too much beer. Sorry.
Suppose a known sex offender began moving child porn over YOUR wireless network.
I would love to see you explain that away as an "oops, I forgot to turn encryption and authentification on" to the police following the pervert. They will FIRST get you for aiding and abetting the crime.
This stuff, security, only makes sense in today's world.
Living for work is a basic abuse of a person's life.
In the cosmic or geological scale of things, our lives are a fly fart in a hurricane. We are but a flash in the pan of live unless we distinguish ourselves like Hitler, or more appropriately, Dr. Jonas Salk.
We turn around and we find we are OLD. I am way past my median age and can look forward to only 20 statistical years of life left. Time flies. Trust me.
Seize the day! Live while you can. Enjoy what you can. Unless there is a mania for work, lighten up if your basic needs are met.
So far, you only live once , until a second person returns from the dead to substantiate the afterlife.
This is basically USELESS. Huge Tsunami's can be 50 feet ABOVE sea level. What exacyly does early warning do? Say "Kiss your ass goodbye"?. How does this help? In waht way does this mitigate the destruction or human suffering?
Are you posting "feel good" news, or news that has a REAL effect on people?
These things have been ASSUMED to fly, but no one has ever seen them fly. They are not aerodynamic.
Fossils that have things that look like wings, do not mean the things actually flew. They are more like flightless Bats.
If you look at the "ornithopter", you will see wings that have aerodynamic cross sections. UNLIKE bird's wings, who have a small frontal portion of the limb partially like aaeroplane wing.
A true "ornithopter" would mimic a birds wing FAITHFULLY. Flight has never been accomplished using that design. Gliding either. Parasails and hang gliders use a different method, and glide, not fly. Sure. if a wind carrying more power than the weight of the object blows in an upward direction on the object, you get simulated "flight". I'd bet you would argue that tornadoes allow flight also. Wikipedia be damned. Disinformation is just that.
Anything like a BIRDS wings, and not aerodynamic lifting bodies, I might have been impressed.
I cannot see how this would even qualify as a ORNIT-anything. Color me skeptical, but it could have been just luck the contraption went anywhere at all. Flapping aerodynamic wings must have been fighting the lifdthe wings naturally gave the craft.
Calling PURE , UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT over here. Blue ribbion winner!
Been charged with illegal access? He apparently used a brute force cracking script to compromise the database he had tenative acccess to. If he needed greater acces, he would have had it. The article is , at best, lacking in solid information. At least to me it is.
"The girl told police the man was carrying a library book with a certain title. The next day, borough police detectives asked Reutty to tell them who took out that book."
There is NO WAY anyone could have determined IF THAT BOOK came from THAT library. Not with the data given in the article. Pervs would hide using books as mis-direction. The 'book' could have come from ANY library, unless there was a great BIG sign saying, "I came from THIS library". Most library books from a specific area, state, county or city, resemble each other. Why re-invent the wheel? They usually use the same software and marking system.
Do you think that the girl read a big sign saying "I got this book from XYZ library system, remember this title IF you are sexually threatened"?
I think NOT. It MAY have come from a nearby library or maybe not. Who can tell? Where did the 12 year old get the lucidity to notice a particular book? Was the title "how to harass young girls"? What was exactly the title? I smell a rat. Maybe a rat who was formerly crippled, and then received Stem Cell Therapy. When would a person being scared and threatened , look for clues or even think about such stuff? Did the 'perp' deliberately show her the book?
This smells on way too many levels. I , had I been a 12 year old girl, would have yelled at the top of my lungs. They would have heard it in Hackensack.
From the article, "But borough officials say Reutty intentionally stonewalled the police investigation by putting the library first.".
The subpeona has to be specific about what is to be seized. The librarian did what was proper.
The instrument was not license for a 'fishing expedition'. When the police returned with a more specific instrument, she complied with the instrument.
This is how our system is supposed to work. The police were negligent OR STUPID. They ask for subpoena's ALL the time. They should know that they need to be specific. Can you say "Keystone Cops employ Barney Fife"? Sure you can.
As stated previously, the city idiots are politicians, with NO CLUE. They were, after all, voted into office.
The inclusion of the city or Libraries lawyer, would most likely have not lead to ANY more protection to the citizen's rights. Sadly, these same people have been around for many years, and have had the opportunity to read newspapers that have published cases like this before. They did not read them or convienently forgot the precedents already in the law.
