an UN-locker, so that when I'm parked at the edge of the damned lot and the cart freezes up 20' from said edge where transmitter is, I don't have to shuttle the bags from the stuck cart to my car while blocking traffic and having a cart that I can't reasonably get back into a cart-pen?
They also have a goal to increasingly manufacture the components they are importing, domestically. Sounds to me like one of the unsung development models (often championed by Jane Jacobs) that has actually worked, where you involve FDI (Foreign Direct Investment), but produce locally, training your citizens in the tacit skills of manufacturing, and slowly taking over from the foreign firm, producing domestic competing firms, with a final goal of international markets. I dunno, but it worked pretty damned well for the East Asian Tigers.
And, uh, Korea -- which decided that, contrary to popular belief at the time, rice was not it's long-term "competitive advantage," and pushed the economy into manufacturing and high tech. Sure, it wasn't full-on command-and-control economy, but it still was centrally planned and executed.
I think capitalism has produced its fair share of corpses as well.
American politics has been stripped of the shades of gray enough as it is - how would a moderate republican who supports abortion in cases of rape, incest or the health of the mother respond to an "Abortion: Yes or no?" question adequately? Fine, require a "straight" answer of yes or no, but don't prohibit explanations of why they hold that position.
The worst part of TFA is the short mention of the victim's bank and their uselessness in this issue:
"But Lodrick, an optimist by nature who normally has a quick and spontaneous laugh, said "the bank was horrible. I felt they thought I was comical. I kept dealing with different people. Three different times they told me I'd have to come in and ID the (security camera) photo, that I hadn't done it.""
Haven't we ratified the Geneva conventions as well, and ignored that? Not to mention perjury (they did learn something from Clinton - never get caught in being questioned under oath!). I'm sure trying to repeal habeas corpus could get wedged in as well. Impeach these anti-constitutional nutcases ASAP
laws are normative, not absolute. Going 76MPH in a 60MPH zone is illegal, but not by nature of its illegality morally wrong - maybe your pregnant wife is in labor pains in the backseat, etc. etc. (lazywebs: pls insert ST:TNG reference here).
Beyond just that, though - has "society" determined the law? In some ideal pure democracy, sure, but we're very far from that. Strong, business-backed lobbies have pressured elected officials to support laws which may or may not be in the best interest of their constituents. Can you imagine the media blitz that would happen were we to have a national referendum vote on copyrights?
A tech-equivalent earth I think could provide additional fodder by creating an equal matching between human and cylon forces, instead of 1 or 2 battlestars vs. the entire cylon fleet.
Regardless, if they didn't even spend much time on the goldmine of low-special-effects/high content New Caprica storyline, dragging out an Earth v Cylon war isn't likely.

I got 53 cents worth of pennies around here somewhere. Let's see what happens!
compare "start up tasks" like opening a file or booting the OS. There often is a good reason not to focus too much on these events, because don't happen that often.
Based on this post, I believe that you must use a Mac, and are just defending the poor 1986 mac.
You don't open files often, so you're not a Linux user. Those guys open files like crazy, all the time. Like, everything is a file to them, and then they open it.
You don't reboot often, so you're obviously not a Windows user.
Please be clear and reveal your personal biases in such important benchmark test discussions.
Y'know, I'm all for rehab - but I agree with parent poster, I don't see the point for white-collar financial crimes. You want to rehabilitate the Enron fuckups? Spammers? It's not like they were born in a gang-violence dominated neighborhood with massive social obstacles to overcome and make ends meet and need job training, these are well-educated, well-supported "members" of society who are making money hand over foot at the cost of millions of others. I think a bit of punishment[1] is in order, and then probation - like never being able to touch a computer again. Hell, he can become a computer security consultant to anti-spam companies and make millions again, as long as he stops spamming.

Now, this is interesting for GPRS and wifi connections on a laptop. It is nice (tho not worth $180) to have a separate system that reboots "pristinely" that deals with GPRS and wifi. It's convenient for the mobile user. agree that it's not a true hw fw, but hey.

Bush will "find the leak" when OJ "finds his wife's murderer"
Sure, that's an option - but I'd prefer if the store didn't treat me like a thief in the first place.

Just a thought. I HATE these things.
I think 2 laptops is fine, as long as the detection process gives evidence of the malware, beyond proclaiming (guessing) which one is infected.
Luckily they're in the UK and don't have to deal with US anti-trust legislation.
Oh, wait, it wouldn't matter anyhow, as price-fixing just got the thumbs up from the Supreme Court. my bad.
...Why?
I'm all for spimes/blogjects/fountains that respond to stock prices, but for crissakes why does my inanimate chair need an IPv6 address?
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The bill itself could I think be broader - how about no surgical methods shall be required for employment?
I get it! 42 - it's the question for the meaning of LTUaE -- how long must a complaint be for M$ to notice?
Don't forget:
-Mac OSX - pricey, but seems to just work.
I for one welcome our new, user-free, friendly OS overlords.

We have cable, our neighbors have DSL. It's common for one of those services to be out of whack, but rare for both of them.

Also, conflating selling counterfeit CDs and allowing for free download of pirated music are separate crimes.
Hint to Battlestar Galactica: tell Earth the Cylons are terrorists and may already have sleeper agents on their planet.
A tech-equivalent earth I think could provide additional fodder by creating an equal matching between human and cylon forces, instead of 1 or 2 battlestars vs. the entire cylon fleet.

RTFA - it's obviously any doohicky that plugs in to your computer-thingamajig.
I mean, it's a cool idea/system, but... uh, not really a "hardware" firewall if it needs client system software to route to it..
