. For a final example I would never recommend Linux for SMB desktops simply because getting QuickBooks running with full functionality on Linux is damned near impossible and SMBs live and die by QB and there simply isn't a FOSS equivalent to the depth of QB when it comes to SMB management.
Have you any experience with SQL Ledger or LedgerSMB? I haven't used it yet, but have downloaded it and am going to use it for my small business. (As a bonus, I understand it produces reports in TeX/LaTeX with which I am also familiar.)
Set up seems like a bit of a pain, but it also looks like it's features more than give a run for QB's money.
We don't know what the material was that the guy was watching. The term 'pornography' usually means explicit sexual activity, though it's also used by the general public and usually uninformed or misinformed reporters as to mean simple nudity.
Simple nudity is different than explicit sexual acts based on various court rulings and laws, so there needs to be some specificity with this case; I hope before people get their panties in a bunch over it.
*reads comments*
Too late, I guess.
Well, anyway, I'm guessing that the librarian saw what was simple nudity and not explicit sex, so therefore she sided with the patron viewing the nudity. I'm thinking that if it was explicit sexual activity, then she probably would have asked the man to go to another terminal. Maybe someone else has some clearer statements of what, exactly, was being viewed?
The whole question revolves around the question of "reasonable."
Exactly. The only problem is that the only question the courts are willing to address in the arena of 'reasonableness' is technological reasonableness and not moral reasonableness.
In other words, we need to force the courts to address the concepts of a moral and ethical reasonableness when it comes to the infringements of our rights and not simply if it's technologically feasible to infringe.
Anyone who uses encryption will be flagged as some sort of pedophile or terrorist. So encryption is not the answer.
So is everyone who buys a white, nondescript minivan automatically flagged as some sort of pedophile or terrorist? Maybe because the act in and of itself isn't very noteworthy. This is what will happen when the vast majority of people use encryption for daily communication.
The true criminals will do other things to bring attention to their nefarious activities and the cops will have to work a tad harder to catch them.
But what if the subject in hand is quantum mechanics, or nuclear physics, or subjects that are more conceptual than practical?
Good example. My personal experience has been, however, that I'm not too concerned with taking precise notes in those kinds of situations; for me, it'd be too distracting for me to be busily trying to take notes and be distracted enough to miss the nuances of more in-depth subjects.
That might work for him because his brain has the capacity to recall all the stuffs _after_ the class is over. Not me.
If I waited till the class is over and _then_ started to write down the notes based on what I recall, I probably can recall 15% to 20% of the total thing.
That might be true, right now. How about after a little bit of practice? You might be surprised to find out that it won't take too long for you to be able to improve your after-class recall ability.
I wonder how much the search requests for those items spiked due to the Streisand Effect. I've seen lots of info on explosives without searching including Mythbusters making black powder and Dirty Jobs issue on Fireworks Technician. I don't know much about the poison. If I searched it, that would only be due to the Streisand Effect. I would not want to have an accident in an attempt to make that stuff.
Yeah, they made use of ricin quite pointedly in Breaking Bad as well as the whole premise of cooking meth. I figured that the producers didn't want to "give away any secrets" and not actually state any of the real steps for production, so I was briefly tempted to look up how to actually make ricin and meth.
I never bothered to read up on it due to the hysteria of, you know, just wanting to know stuff makes you an instant terrorist.
I ended up just torrenting the soundtrack instead.
I actually did mount a piece of pegboard in an equipment rack with a smoked glass door and put christmas lights in the holes. I used the kind of lights that have a controller box for running patterns, and set it on "random", and left it running for about five years.
And you could casually gesture to it and smugly say to the PHB's, "yup. Six nines uptime."
Or are Slashdot posters that infatuated with nuclear? Seems like no matter what news comes out on that disaster, we've got apologists crawling out to explain how we don't need to worry about it and any concerns are the ignorant fears of the anti-nuke brainwashed.

People go 'OH it's not that much' FINE, let government leaders live in those places. I wouldn't want my life shortened at all, I'm thinking 40 years down the road I don't want to die from horrible radiation inflicted disease, nor do I want to find out some sort of penis monster finds me attractive.

It's a sad day when a person who is sometimes accidentally caught up in viewing a method to breach a website (or DB) or accidentally breaches a website due to faulty programming/security will get years in a federal prison, yet the CxO's of that same company who theoretically are responsible for the integrity of that data, won't even see the inside of a courtroom.
You and I disagree on the necessity of having children work for food in the United States then. But maybe you're right. And that right there is a serious problem.

At this point, I really don't have much of an option, sad to say.

What a crock.
LaTeX resumes are for people who graduated from MIT/Caltech or are otherwise celebrities in their fields and can coast by name alone.
Not knockin' LaTeX, just that resumes are not an ideal application of LaTeX.
Here I must respectfully disagree. LaTeX is ideal for a résumé. My own résumé is written in LaTeX and the layout is elegant and highly professional-looking. I output it to a pdf and send that when I'm able.
The thing that pisses me off is companies which require that I send a .doc or .docx formatted résumé. Where able, I politely request to send my résumé in pdf format, but it's not always an option. So therefore, I have a résumé in those formats, but the visual differences between the two are striking. Word looks frankly like shit.
To answer your other question, under Win7, you can activate what's called "US-International"keyboard under Control Panel --> keyboards and have a small icon in your bar that you can switch between US standard and US international. With US international active, all one has to do is type a ' character and it pauses waiting for another keypress. If the keypress is a letter like 'a' or 'e' then it'll produce that accented character à or é. When I use Win7, I usually keep it on US standard so I can type the quote marks with no trouble.

Thanks for the reminder, I bought and read that book quite a few years ago and only within the past few years did I finally get rid of it.

what we 'think' is right. thats a far cry from what IS right. as for what is right, i still haven't figured that out yet.
If you haven't figured it out yet, then how do you know that what we think is right is a far cry from what is right?
I practice safe USB plugging. I put a rubber cover over my USB stick before I try to plug it in to anything. I have never once caught a virus on it.
Meh. I just rely on the box I plug into to be using an IUD (Intrausb Device).

Last time I saw a pair of those mudflaps was on Chinden and Glenwood about a month ago.
