This doesn't mean that details have to be published. You don't need to know how much John Smith the office manager in HUD makes, though you may be interested in the overall monies going to HUD in general, which would satisfy this clause.
There were also some high-speed, low-level recon flights that were made at great risk to the pilots and the US if they were shot down, as those flights were made by fighters with camera pods fitted on the hardpoints.
California has been unusually cool during the days. SoCal's Christmas Day was down at about 12C, when it's usually up around 20C, and sometimes even up towards 30C.
In addition, much of the Los Angeles Basin (and I think most of the rest of California) has already surpassed the average rainfall levels for the season (about 40cm give or take, depending on where in the basin one is), and we still have our wet months to go through (January and February). I would not be at all surprised to see some significant flooding in the next few weeks.
However, considering some of the rainfall totals we've had, it seems that odd climatic events (at least for rainfall) pretty much define SoCal weather. If we settled into a constant climate over, say, five years (San Diego excluded -- they made a deal with the devil for their constant climate), then I'd start significantly worrying about the weather patterns.
Maybe if you'd been a little less lazy, there'd have been no need to "save France"), as a repayment for the very existence of your country.
I'm not trying to get into the middle of the "you owe us" argument, but the US wasn't really able to do anything to save France in the beginning. Germany invaded Benelux on May 10, 1940 (a scant eight months into the war, when most nations were still moving into a war footing), and crossed into France on May 14. There were 300,000 British and French troops at Dunkirk that were evacuated in the face of the German onslaught, and France surrendered six weeks later on June 22. No European country, let alone the US, was in a position to provide any real support to the French at that time. Complacency the world round in enforcing the Treaty of Versailles had doomed several nations on that continent to German control.
According to this site, a magitude 10 would release some 1 trillion tons equivalent of energy, and would be the equivalent of a "San-Andreas type fault circling Earth."
A magnitude 12 would be 160 trillion tons equivalent, and would "fault Earth in half through center."
As far as I am aware, at the time of writing, SuSE is the only distro to currently support ACLs out of the box, and has done since version 8.1. To use them, you must remount your filesystems with the acl option described above.

There may be others that do so (RHEL3 is one I think I saw mentioned), but the implementation is spotty at best. In addition, I've found conflicting information on whether applications and utilities will properly respect them, since it appears that there are different implementations of ACLs depending on your preferred base (BSD, Solaris, and Linux all appear to use slightly different methods, and now SELinux would seem to add yet another, though I've not played with it enough to really see how SELinux does it), so implementing ACLs would seem to be difficult at best for a utility that crosses multiple platforms.
My understanding of the iPod (which may be outdated or a simple misunderstanding) is that there was some hack that had to be done to use it as a removeable drive.
And it's not nearly the size of a lunchbox, unless you eat some really tiny meals. It's about the size of an iPaq. I will grant the UI could be better, but it's functional and effective.
I bought my girlfriend a 30GB Neuros package for Christmas (after seeing it on Slashdot -- I knew this place would be useful for something someday) for ~$250 (less than the cost of a 20GB iPod). She took it to work the next day, where her manager was showing off her cute iPod, and talking about how cool it was that she had this add-on that allowed her to broadcast to her car stereo. My girlfriend showed her the (not-so-cute) Neuros, which has FM broadcasting built in, plus can record from the radio, plus can play other formats, plus can act as a removeable storage drive without hacking it.
According to various people, the ACLs on different Unix implementations are not all the same. FreeBSD varies from Solaris varies from Linux, and Linux's may be based on a draft that was withdrawn (there seem to be differing viewpoints on this). The ACL implementations are all somewhat similar, but are different enough that they don't really work well together. Even on Linux, ACLs are implemented at different levels -- some at the application level (certain FTP daemons), and others at the filesystem level. Even there, the implementations may vary.
Until such time as ACLs can be universally implemented, this is going to be seen as an impediment.
Are these companies are using Linux as their file servers?
They may be using Linux in certain roles, such as web servers or perhaps for certain applications, but I suspect that they're using Windows or NetWare servers for their primary architecture.
I wasn't arguing what is is the law. I was arguing what I believe should be the law. If someone sells bootleg copies, then that should be a criminal offense. If someone passes around a CD without permission, that should be a civil offense. Set recoverable damages high without possibility of resorting to bankruptcy to deter it if need be, but don't put someone in prison for five years because they passed off a CD-R.
Simply put: I don't believe that these cases should fall under criminal law, as they are, at the source, contractual issues. Whether or not they do (and in some countries they do not) is a whole other matter.
Most of the general utilities such as SNMP and other network utilities that I need get installed from RPM -- it's just simpler that way, and I don't need to do custom compiles of most of them. However, I rarely have a solid clue where things go, because these vary from program to program and sometimes even from rpm maintainer to maintainer./bin?/sbin?/usr/local? This is why I have updatedb running every 24 hours -- so I can find what I'm looking for.
However, when I compile certain special things, they almost always go into/opt. I'm not really sure if this is what was intended for/opt. I think I had a couple of programs early on that suggested installing them there, and it stuck. It's useful because so little goes there on its own.
A few special applications (databases, Apache, php, etc) get stuffed into/usr/local, but always with proper directories over them (/usr/local/mysql,/usr/local/apache2, etc), but they are by far the exception.
Five different groups need different abilities on a single directory.
Managers need to be able to list, create, delete, read, write, and change permissions.
Secretaries should be able to list, create, read, and write.
Technicians should be able to list, create, delete, read, and write.
Sales should be able to list and read.
Certain miscellaneous people should be able to only read, so they can be given a link to a file but not see the other files in the directory.
Now, how exactly is this done with POSIX permissions in a simple, straightforward, and very effective way? I can't see how it can be effectively done without ACLs. The lack of ACLs is a major impediment to uptake of Linux in the business community.
They're infiltrating systems where they don't belong. That's trespassing. The money leaves my account and goes to theirs. That's pretty clear theft. Those are criminal acts, and should
I don't have collections of them (well, I have one Abott and Costello tape), but I did enjoy listening to them when KFWB (Los Angeles new station) would air old radio classics weeknights at 10pm. I think Philip Marlowe was my favorite, but they rotated a lot of others in like the Lone Ranger (wasn't so good, IMHO) and the Phantom, as well as the Western that starred Jimmy Stewart, and some of the great sci-fi radio shows. It was fun to occasionally realize part-way through an episode that I had read the short-story on which it was based (quite a few Asimov tales in there, as I recall).
I still smile when hearing the words that closed out each episode of The Phantom: "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows..."
That's because they didn't want the prices plummeting below $35 per barrel. Market forces have inertia, too, and while the prices are currently in the $40 range, they may continue to slip a bit more before finally settling out between $35 and $40. They needed to make some changes to begin braking the descent now.
They didn't "let" prices go up this year. The prices went up because of speculation over political instability in Venezuela, Russia, Iraq, and Nigeria affecting output. It got to the point where the various OPEC nations were pumping veritable crap out of the ground (stuff that has less of the useful hydrocarbons) in order to boost the overall numbers to try to push things down. OPEC knows it has a PR problem, since it's seen as a bunch of money-grubbing sheiks that only want to bilk the world for cash. Quotas were set as high as the nations could reasonably pump, and some nations even went higher, risking damage to equipment, in an attempt to push things down.
Of note to the conspiracy theorists is that prices didn't start dropping until well after the election was over, although many were predicting an October surprise with OPEC providing some massive drop in oil prices. In spite of their views, the prices continued reaching record levels, and it wasn't until news came that oil consumption in China was being slowed by additional tariffs Beijing placed on imported oil in an effort to slow consumption growth, followed by word that US oil use was down and that on-hand stocks were growing, that prices began to come down.
OPEC is happy when oil is around the $35 per barrel range. It's not so expensive that they get slammed in the press, and not so cheap that they make no money.
It's unprecedented in recent times. The explosion of Krakatoa in 1883 killed about 36,000 people, but since then, the tsunamis have been pretty rare, with the most powerful one killing only a few hundred in India. The region really had no reason to concentrate on a tsunami warning system, because there were always more important (and less expensive) things to deal with.
What this should remind everyone is that no one is immune to tsunamis. Even the eastern coasts of the Americas and the Caribbean Islands are in the direct path of a significant tsunami should the unstable side of one of the Canary Islands collapse, which it will likely do sometime in the next 200 years.
The US is also moving naval assets in the region -- which often have helicopters -- into place to assist with operations, and is deploying P-3 Orion reconnaissance aircraft to take pictures of the coastlines to assist in planning recovery operations.
I expect US donations from private citizens and aid groups are ramping up fairly quickly.
The Lituya Bay tsunami of 1958 was ~1700 feet high (it was in a harbor bordered by mountains -- almost a fjord, I guess). One boat was actually carried over a hill in the middle of the harbor. It was caused by a rockslide comprised of some 40 million cubic yards of material sliding into the bay after a magnitude-8 earthquake.
IIRC, the V4L part was what caused the highest consumption of pain killers, because time was spent trying to get the wrong version to work (I think it was newer than motion was designed to work with, and something fundamental had changed), and even with the right version, it was still a major hassle.
But again, the proprietary stuff we could find in general wasn't much better. The best solution I could see for ease of implementation was a pure Axis system, with Axis cameras and software (which I've used before), but that would mean replacing a lot of expensive hardware.

As opposed to the normal result of looking at a Slashdotter and getting a picture of a fully white sun glare figure with round body shape?
