for their October surprise. There is some reasonably reliable reports that Bin Laden has already been caught (in Pakistan, in August) and we grabbed him and have him, he will be "found" in October and paraded around so the GOP can say "see" we have been fighting terrorism. It'll be the perfect day to air the program. (there was a news report I saw on the google news about the capture in Pakistan, the article was not available for very long)
Does anyone know the bot name to look for in my apache logs? If I can get that I can create a script to send them lots of random file names to trigger their letter writer/sender whenever their bot comes calling.
This beats my tennis-ball-cannon by a longshot. It doesn't use black powder either but I don't get that height. I guess I will have to switch from lighter fluid to compressed air and see what that does for the height.
Make good friends, real friends. That's the best thing to get from college. As for locking up all your stuff. Ditch the stuff, you'll have books to read and papers to write. There will be plenty of other distractions to fill your time. Get involved in clubs or the local community. Get physical, outdoors. Hikes or bikes or jogging, swimming, etc. Keep your mind clear, strive for a perfect GPA, push yourself to the limit. See what you can achieve at those limits. A college education is no guarantee of anything. College is a big business, you have to make something of the experience.
Some other poster suggested having sex often and in quantity.... Forget about having sex as often as possible, that's lame and you're sure to pick up something that will stay with you forever. It's not worth it, don't go there. Too many partners will only bring misery and woe.
about it is the hard part. Changing behaviors is the most difficult thing to do. If people staggered the time they leave work and if they could tolerate a little bit of inconvenience of car pooling or riding a bus or train or subway then we might see the traffic ease up. Building more freeways and adding more lanes to existing freeways doesn't provide a lasting solution. Most people would reap the benefits of walking more to get mass-transportation and getting out of their cars more often. Of course there are the lucky ones that don't even need a car and can commute soley on public transit. Or just on foot. I predict that traffic will get so bad and car ownership will become so expensive that people will figure out ways to get around without a car and possibly even change their lifestyle in the process. But it will happen gradually, I think it is already.

And the saddest thing of course is that most people are outraged by the price of gasoline. We are indeed in sad shape. Bush should be impeached for lying about the Iraq "war". We really need to send Bush and his cast of kooks, Colin Powell, his son FCC chairman Powell, Condoleeza Rice, "Big" Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, et. al. into early retirement. Their view of the way the world should be is too sick and twisted.
jammer Seems to me that it would be pretty darn difficult to take out 5,000 of these spread out over the surface. Not to mention several hundred launched on small balloons. They could be concealed in civilian vehicles and on and on. Yes they work and no you are incorrect. As for filtering out the spurious signals, that's hogwash. Nice try anyway.
Anyone with a GPS jammer can "regulate" GPS. Laser guided missiles are the weapons of choice for accuracy. The fact that the GPS signal is low power makes it susceptible to jamming and for that reason the military, et. al. can not rely on it at all times. They currently augment GPS with stationary ground based geo information for improved accuracy. See differential-GPS. They can use SA (selective availability) and they have, it reduces the accuracy of the GPS signal, but that's of limited use if the enemy is jamming your GPS signal anyway.
poorly set expectations. How did the professors get the idea that it was possible? It's not pssobile under the contraints that you are faced with. If money was not a limiting factor you could do this. But I'll assume money is a factor and time as well. So go back and tell them that it's possible but it's going to cost this much to automate the process and this much if I type it in by hand and this much if someone else does it but with poorer accuracy and so on and so forth. Put the burden on them to decide how they want to deal with this. Only then will the appropriate solution be found and chosen.
Eavesdropping is an old technique, it's interesting that it's being touted as something new. Okay so the context is a bit different but not all that different. Is even the context all that new? It may be new to the authors (and readers?) but it's probably not new to those folks that employ creative techniques to snoop. A microphone works great to "log" keystrokes. The delays between key presses can be used to create a pattern that in turn can define exactly what's been typed. Passive listening devices have been employed for years, sometimes going undetected for years. A cell phone could turn into a monitoring device. So there really appears to be no such thing as a secret afterall. Where's my quantum encryption...?
Do you think that one day, when you're lying on your deathbed, that you'll be saying to yourself "wow I really wish I hadn't quit my fucking, boring IT job and done that music tour overseas...." If you think you will say that then you have your answer. I apply this to just about anything that involves a major life change and so far so good.

An antenna mounted in the right spot can pick up a lot of stations. Especially in metro areas. That and a subscription to netflix or the like and you're all set. Now I'm not sure about in other parts of the world and apartments might not allow an antenna on the exterior but there are some decent amplified antennas that can be mounted indoors. Terk makes a decent antenna and it probably costs less than 2 months of cable bills.
That's what bothers me. How long will the distros wait until they use the 2.6 kernel? I hear the scheduler is improved amongst many other things. So what's the hold up? Is it just that there's no one willing to be the guinea pig?
up there at all? I have a vague memory of the Christian zealots pronouncing the Hubble as bad and that it shouldn't be launched. Something to do with witnessing creation and how mankind should not tamper with God's work. And now here we are with Bush and his right-wing zealots taking it down just when it's at its prime. This may sound crazy but consider what the current administration has done so far. Ashcroft probably asked to have the Hubble taken down as a favor to his Christian zealot pals. More proof that the Republicans are scared that Bush is done. He's not getting 4 more years so get your favors in now.
This is not a very good solution. It only protects cars in the devices' vicinity. But once you buy the car what's to protect it then? A real solution would be one that protected the car at all times. More resilient glass and body panels. And paint that can withstand hail strikes. I guess that car makers don't really care what happens once you've bought the car.
It sounds like it's destined to come back down but why should we just splash it down in the ocean somewhere? To bring it down the current plan is to send a U.S. $300 million space tug that would launch on a Delta2, grab Hubble and trash the telescope into the Pacific. But if they're going to go to all the trouble of sending up a Delta2 why not send up a payload that could bring the Hubble back in one piece so it could go on display? Maybe wrap it in an aerogel blanket and outfit with some parachutes. And then gently bring it back down. Then have it on display at the West Coast Smithsonian. This would be a much more suitble fate to a telescope that has done so much to bring space back to Earth and turned a lot of people on to all the amazing things the lie out there.
The thing is....India is losing jobs to outsourcing to still cheaper countries that can do the same job for much less. India is not happy about this turn of events and they are crying foul. Boohoo. Too bad that's, what outsourcing is all about. I wonder how they like the idea of outsourcing now? Malaysia and Vietnam come to mind and there are others.
