  2. Re:Legal standards of search and seizure on You Are Not a Lawyer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Encrypt everything, hide everything, obfuscate everything, always assume that THEY are out to get you. Keep your bags packed at an alternate (undisclosed) location, keep some cash hidden and have an extra passport ready (always lose the first one they send you) in case they confiscate your first. Always pay cash, wear a broad brimmed hat and large dark glasses in public, grow a beard (you can quickly change you appearance by shaving). Use anonymous pay as you go cellphones or be careful what you say over the phone, keep your phone turned off and the battery removed.

      Remember it ain't paranoia if they really are out to get you!

  10. Re:tips/UF cable on Home Generators (or How DTE Energy Ruined My Holidays) · · Score: 1

    I've used BX cable with an underground rating, so I don't know about "UF" cable, the type of BX I used had a tar like inner wrapper and was used to bring power out to barbecue areas, etc. This was in the 60's so things may have changed.

    Have you ever used OS/2?
    The same engineers may have worked on both projects but OS/2 and NT are very different products, from the kernel to the filesystem to the most basic system calls and configuration details.

    It's like saying that Linux and Solaris are the same products because they use some of the same SystemV protocols and configuration details.
