I'm the same way. I give notice to my colleagues of when I'm going on vacation, and I make it clear to them that for the duration of my vacation, I will NOT have my Blackberry with me. To make the point doubly clear, on my last day before vacation, I will point out that the Blackberry is in its cradle at the end of the day, and not on my person.
I am part of an on-call rotation. I will answer the phone if it rings while I'm not on-call, but I do not check my e-mail unless I hear it buzzing incessantly (I leave it on vibrate) for an inordinate amount of time, which means that a lot of messages are coming in and something is probably seriously broken and I'll be called anyway. If I am on-call, I check the subjects of messages but will only open them if they appear to be something about which I need to be concerned. Other than that, it goes back in the holster.
The Blackberry has its use. Its use is not to enslave me. Considering that the employer recently took actions in my favor to try to ensure that I will not leave in the near future, I suspect they know that pushing me on this (if they were so inclined) would not improve their position.
Considering that most sexual attacks by women upon men would fall into the sodomy category, it's sufficient. If there comes a point when a woman in the armed forces uses force to make a man engage in sexual intercourse with her, either the court martial will use the spirit of the law or else the prosecutor will file an alternate charge such as assault (Article 128). At that time, Congress can take up an alteration to Article 120.
"Unnatural carnal knowledge" is a term of law that goes back decades, and maybe centuries, and is basically a euphemism for oral and anal sex. However, most jurisdictions (the military included) will not find a defendant guilty for oral sex, at least in a heterosexual encounter, unless it's forced.
Leaving aside that I said that changes would be needed to reflect civilian requirements, if you kill in self-defense, it's not murder. Courts-martial do recognize an inherent right of self-defense, so killing when attacked is possibly a justifiable response (depending on circumstances -- a Special Forces soldier using lethal force on someone taking a drunken swing at him may be a bit much).
The scenario that you present -- contrived as it is -- wouldn't work either, as the sodomy would have to take place on the person killed. (There may be a charge of sodomy under Article 125, but that would be considered a separate, unconnected event.)
The sodomy mentioned in the murder description is generally for forced sodomy. Rape is defined as "an act of sexual intercourse with a female not his wife, by force and without consent" (Article 120). Sodomy is "unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal" (Article 125). The former refers to sexual intercourse, meaning vaginal penetration. The latter would cover all other penetration.
The law itself -- the actual legal code -- can get pretty onerous. Judicial decisions aren't usually so bad, and US Supreme Court opinions can actually be very easily read (and are occasionally humorous, such as in the recent Heller case where the majority and dissents were sniping at each other throughout), and understood without a lot of law experience.
I rather like portions of the US Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is elegant, to the point, and very workable for the most part. The whole of the UCMJ is readable in a weekend, and most provisions are understandable by the average person. For example, murder is defined as follows:
Any person subject to this chapter whom without justification or excuse, unlawfully kills a human being, when he- - (1) has a premeditated design to kill; (2) intends to kill or inflict great bodily harm; (3) is engaged in an act which is inherently dangerous to others and evinces a wanton disregard of human life; or (4) is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of burglary, sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson; is guilty of murder, and shall suffer such punishment as a court-martial may direct, except that if found guilty under clause (1) or (4), he shall suffer death or imprisonment for life as a court-martial may direct.
This is a common-sense approach, and I think that most people would agree that these are good definitions. Manslaughter has a different definition more akin to what people tend to think manslaughter should be. There are certainly some aspects which would need to be modified for the civilian population, but it would work as a starting point.
Headphones still leak sound. Even earbuds do -- I have a colleague that listens to music using earbuds, and I can hear the buzz of it two cubicles away. When at the mall, some people walk by with earphones or earbuds, and I can make out what they're listening to.
In any case, I was being facetious. Part of the experience of being at a party or a concert is not just hearing the music, but feeling it as well.
I'm one who prefers a quiet environment, but I'm know people want to have their fun once in a while, and I don't mind as long as they're courteous about it. I had a neighbor about three years ago who came by and told me about four or five days in advance that he was going to have a sizable party at his place, and that the music was going to be loud. He asked that if it got too loud to please come by and let him know so he could turn it down, but he would also be happy if we came by and joined in. When the party night came around, we didn't go over, but we could barely hear it. They knocked the noise down to something only barely audible outside their own place right at midnight. Definitely a class act overall.
Back to the original point, sometimes annoying the Captain and Tennille guy is fun.:)
This could be used selectively. Put voices in the person's head, causing the target to see a psychiatrist, who prescribes medication for the schizophrenia. Keep the voices going, leading to higher prescriptions. Eventually, the person won't be able to take it anymore, and will find a high-enough bridge to leap from.
Just to be humane, though, the voices should stop the instant the feet leave the surface, giving the target a few seconds of peace right before the end.
1. Listening to music as loud as you want while not forcing it on others 2. Rocking out to the loudest concert in history without anyone outside the venue hearing a whisper of it (on second thought, the RIAA might require this, so maybe it's not so good) 3. Throwing a gigantic party with great tunes while letting the geezer next door -- who never listens to anything harder than Captain and Tennille -- get his beauty sleep
Are the turbine blades open to the sea? I thought one of the challenges of tidal power was to get a working, sealed unit because seawater corrosion (not to mention sealife attachment) is such a problem.
Solar may one day get there but not only is it too hard to produce a consistent large amount of electricity year round but the by products of creating the panels are harsh and so is the disposal of ones that break
This depends on the solar method. There's supposed to be a plant in either the planning or perhaps the early construction stages in Victor Valley, CA, which uses dishes to concentrate solar rays on a Stirling engine. I look periodically to find out its status, but solid progress seems to be a little elusive. Construction on a pilot plant near Barstow was supposed to begin late last year, but I'm not able to find anything clear on it. Still, the company has applied for a second plant in Imperial Valley, and they're saying that it should allow construction to begin by the end of 2009.
You can add on top of that an inability to separate people. Both articles linked clearly mention that Walker was appointed by the elder President Bush. It would probably be more enjoyable if the current president had appointed him -- I love to see that, no matter who is in the White House at the time. I guess it's that I trust the judicial branch more than the other two.
Aside from the problem with increased traffic for webmasters to deal with, if someone had found an exploit for AVG, many systems might have been compromised without the user actively visiting the exploiting sites, making it worse in some ways than an iframe-based exploit. If all it effectively takes is for a link to appear in the page, that adds danger to what was just inconsiderate behavior.
KDE3.5 is not available at all in F9, except for compatibility libraries and certain programs that were not ported to 4.0 (Kwebdev, for example). Fedora's devs have stated that no KDE3.5 port will be done, because it requires too many coding hacks.
Depleted uranium is used for reasons that have nothing to do with lead toxicity, but instead for its density and its self-sharpening trait. Keeping the penetrating point and maximum kinetic energy is important when punching through armor.
That said, there are growing areas banning lead bullets, including sometimes for law enforcement, due to the perceived health risk.
Add in the $23 per month for the extra phone line that I mentioned, and those savings drop to $120 total. That's part of what frustrates me so much about it.
My grandmother still fights me when I suggest that she get DSL. It's available to her for $15, but she prefers to pay $12 for the less-expensive dial-up connection -- and another $23 for the phone line on which she uses it.
There are plenty of bad habits to go around in the office. I put up with a coworker who sits next to me making a noise like "Noooooooooooooooooooo!" as though he's falling to the center of the planet several times a day. Other than that, he's a good guy, otherwise I'd make a bigger deal of it.
I really don't like much noise around me. My notebook's CPU fan annoys me when it comes on, and it's really not all that loud. I ask people around me to keep certain noises to a low volume, and I go extra lengths to try to ensure that I'm not annoying to them. I'd like a quieter keyboard for my desktop, but I've been told to wait until I get a new system sometime in the next couple of months.
However, if someone near me had a keyboard along the lines of a Model M, I could well be driven to take some additional action, possibly bordering on destructive. I despise those kinds of keyboard, and have since I first used them back in the 1980s. It seems that one either loves or hates them, and I fall into the latter category.
That's correct. All launches requiring heavy lift capacity will have the Ares V go up first. Once it's safely in orbit, the Ares I will be launched (no point in risking human life if there's no payload for them to work with). I believe the idea is that the Ares V will not have to be human-rated, which lowers cost and complexity.
The Chinese manned rocket program was not built to threaten anyone. However, China has spent considerable sums on hundreds, perhaps thousands, of medium-range rockets aimed at Taiwan. Every so often, an emplacement or two totaling perhaps a couple dozen missiles is removed as a PR gesture, but there's still a lot of firepower there. This has been going on for many years, starting long before Fox News was even started.
There are certainly other concerns than comparing it to other plant types. In California, for example, some of the deserts are home to the threatened desert tortoise. Simply building a plant somewhere flat may put it in a nesting area. Depending on the plant type, there are differing support infrastructure requirements, including roads, power feeds, and water supplies, and the path that they take may again affect local wildlife, at least during construction.
There are fewer concerns with the construction of a solar plant than with those that produce toxic byproducts during power generations. This simplicity makes it easier to develop an EIS template as is being done, and a good template can reduce start-up time and therefore start-up costs. The fewer concerns should not justify waving off the remaining issues with a wave of the hand.
That's part of the design. The client has no knowledge of whether the AP is stand-alone or part of a larger network. It will automatically attempt to reconnect to a new AP if it loses connection as part of the roaming specifications.
No. The same FCC regulations that cover the use of that spectrum also protect people from claims of interference. You only have a claim if you can show that the equipment in use by the other person is interfering with other electronic equipment, and even then there may be limits. You cannot complain, for example, that their microwave oven, which disrupts your wireless signal because it leaks somewhat around channel 9 and you use something in the range of 6-11 inclusive, is degrading your experience because that's simply a risk that you accept when using equipment in the 2.4GHz spectrum. The same thing applies to Bluetooth and 2.4GHz phones, which can interfere with all channels, though equipment in this spectrum is generally designed to co-exist fairly well.
It is, but you may have to use different profiles. I believe there are changes made to the profiles that are not compatible with v2. At the very least, incompatible extensions will be disabled in v3, and would have to be re-enabled on startup every time you try to use v2.

I see enormous benefits in this technology.

Merely placing emphasis to make a point clear does not make one "snippy."
I thought the implication in my original post was clear that it was a phone line for internet use. Apparently, I was mistaken.
She has an extra phone line for her dial-up access. She has two lines into the house when she really only needs one.
And if she wants more phone lines for calling purposes, she can go with Vonage or a similar VoIP provider.
Add in the $23 per month for the extra phone line that I mentioned, and those savings drop to $120 total. That's part of what frustrates me so much about it.
My grandmother still fights me when I suggest that she get DSL. It's available to her for $15, but she prefers to pay $12 for the less-expensive dial-up connection -- and another $23 for the phone line on which she uses it.
Technically, it's an abbreviation inside of an acronym. Acronyms are words formed from abbreviations, and so are a subset of abbreviations.
Simple rule: If it's generally pronounced as a word, it is an acronym. If the letters are generally spelled out, it's not an acronym.
