Do you really need to divide a foot into inches all that much? You know that's the *only* part of the US system that uses 12 right?
Are there 12 feet in a yard? No? You mean you're suddenly dealing with 3/2, 3/3, 3/4, 3/6? Huh.
How many yards are there in a mile? 12? 24? What? 1760? That doesn't even make sense. How is that related to the glorious "everything is divisible by the factors of 12" scheme? The factors of 1760 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 32, 40, 44, 55, 80, 88, 110, 160, 176, 220, 352, 440, 880, and 1760.
So, to compare:
Metric:
1 centimeter
10 centimeters = 1 decimeter
10 decimeters = 1 meter
1000 meters = 1 kilometer
I understannd this, however how many MPH (Miles Per Hour) or (Kilo Metres Per Hour) do you think this guy is doing? I want to know what the atmouspheric pressure is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit) also how many Newton's is he/she using at the moment? what is the Ratio between slamming or her on top. Really I need a Geek to answer this as my mind boggles at the thought!
I already have bad karma, but entertaining is excellence.
You should ignore my above comment. Sometimes I am prone to sleep walking and last night was one of those nights. I have been known to do this on IRC as well and have the logs to prove it.
Eitherway, this morning McKinnon's mother was on BBC Breakfast and the extradition is still being fought. It seems that from a legal point of view, the Home Secretary has been ill informed regarding legalities.
$700k of damages, my arse. They couldn't even secure their own networks against a UFO nut. FAIL. Sort out your own problems instead, like paying proper money to hire people who can secure networks, don't go looking to blame someone when the inevitable happens.
The US just enforced an African debt of $20,000,000.00 on Liberia, yes that is how ruthless the US are with African 3rd world countries. Greed no water people dying in Liberia.
This has nothing to do with the the issue whatsoever. The problem we have here is an extradiction treaty that is some what biased in the favour of the US that Tony Blair signed up to along with Bush at his private ranch in Texas IN PRIVATE as the IRAQ WAR inquiry is now following. Terror laws have been implented to erode every man, women and childrens' rights on this planet to live in peace.
This guy was just a young enthusiastic individual IT guy interested in UFO's. All he wanted was to try and understand the TRUTH. It does not make him a terrorist, he had a thirst that needed quenching. Many scientists push the boundaries of convention to explore new worlds or organisms. It does not make this guy a terrorist, and in actual fact the NSA and DHS ought to be thankful he poked some holes in the systems. Now I could put up a few wargame "Real Time" Linux and BSD boxes to hack on a network, running other services, but $700,000.00 worth of damage is laughable beyond the extreme.
I am taking he never pulled an rm-/rf *.* and obviously forensics have checked/var/logs have not been contaminated. Did these guys run ENCASE? If they did, any person working in intelligience knows Encase is not enough.

No I am not repeating anything. When I opened it in CS4 it has a history function. and it shows every action of all the editing processes.
I feel we can now move on from this topic as there is nothing more to be gained.
WTF is north west west ? Did you mean west north west ? And you must have fucking good eyesight to determine that this picture was taken anywhere specific. A few power lines and a couple of rooflines with trees around. Maybe you could give us the GPS coordinates smartarse. And opening a probable 3rd generation image in photoshop proves nothing. There is no image data available other than size.
I was about to call you a Troll but that would be too kind asking for proof and then slamming slashdot and calling me an arsehole is not very nice is it?
Let me educate your silly mind. Depending on where you are on the planet, bearings are different. If you do not know the definition of bearings, please find your bearings in a dictionary. Chambers will be fine for you.
I have a better comprehension of words, and you ought to shut your festering slit. The fact you want me to give you GPS coordinates, means your map reading skills are FOOBAR.
However, I am going to increase the pressure on you mentally, your navigation skills are broken.
What sort of person like yourself would lead yourself to a destination unknown? You can kill all your children this way if and you are not an opinion leader.
God help you when you get stuck on the side of a Mountain in bad weather. But you cannot navigate without your GPS or SatNav.
The same reason it was mandatory Desert Storm Iraq War 1990/91 we were ordered to take anti chemical weapon vaccines. They were supplied by America. I was very untrusting of this. I ordered my unit only to take the VX nerve agent injection as I sincerely did not trust the other's.
I went against convention and could have been fired myself for ordering this, however I am very proud to say, before that war started I had every soldier drilled perfectly to put on NBC suits and Gas Masks under 30 seconds. I was called a bastard for making them do it, but do you know what? Each and every one of my troops came back without "Gulf War Syndrome" You can read further data here http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19726473.800-gulf-war-syndrome-linked-to-nerve-gas.html
Sometimes however with the VX nerve agent injection I can get terrible nerves as do other's from my unit from time to time, but this could have been a lot worst for my troops if I did not order them to not take the others.
Yes it is a sad situation and as usual, nobody is taking responsibility but there have been some compensation payouts by the MoD. I hope this post is allows you to make an informed decision.
I know Scotland quite well. This is on the East Coast of Scotland in Inverurie slightly North West West of Aberdeen and in between Peterhead. You just do not get this weather coming over the North Sea in Land. wired.com have got this totally wrong and as another user has pointed out, it was edited in Photoshop. I can now confirm this. As I downloaded the picture and just opened it in Photoshop CS4 and it has clearly been "heavily edited".
Nice one wired.com for wasting my time and others. The photograph was submitted by Photo: Danielle Maxwell. You would have least thought wired.com would have checked the validity of this.
Damn secretaries get to answer the phone, gossip quite a lot, read his emails whilst being blocked on the phoned with the excuse he has just gone into a "meeting".
What type of "meeting is he really in I normally ask?" or can you just not be bothered, doing your damn nails and make up and then she cuts you off.
You phone back and have to jump the hoops of the automated phone service, Then when you think you are through to the right person who can help after 45 mins you get cut off again.
Sometimes it is just easier to write to the person and send it recorded delivery, mark it Personal, Private & Confidential on the front of the envelope. Otherwise the secretary will open it.

Oh; but the poor baby wants it both ways: He wants google to index his stuff, and pay him for the privilege of indexing his stuff.
If this involved google ignoring robot.txt or something, and crawling him without his permission, I'd be rather more sympathetic. As it is, though, these guys haven't asked for that, because they know that it is valuable to them; but are still whining about how oppressed they are. Fuck 'em.
james.murdoch@bskyb.com Your wish is my command and that is his direct email account.
"Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups" obviously it is not funny which will probably earn me some more bad karma which I have been issued. A very noteable friend also said "Never under estimate the power of stupid people in small groups too".
I had to concur.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Good shout. They could always recycle the depleted uranium to power space scraft. Nuclear power is quite safe. Just ask anyone who is in the Navy and works on Trident Subs.
Seems to me that if you don't like MySpace, you can always just dump it, and tell everybody why.
And the five people that visit your site will find that it's having issues because you didn't pay your hosting bill, or went over bandwidth, or since you don't know jack about admin'ing a website just plain doesn't work right, and they'll go back to MySpace where things are familiar, and everybody else is going.
It's not a matter of whining about their policy. The problem is that they have one policy towards large companies with powerful lawyers, and a different "fuck you" policy towards everyone else, but still claim to only have one policy for everybody.
This is why MyGaySpace has no space. just check my homeboy page http://www.fluxradio.org/ everything is private. I stream when I want to and so do other artists, DJ's and producers.
I use Icecast http://www.icecast.org/ Netbsd, Debian and FreeBSD servers, set up round robin DNS so I can avoid this bullshit.
I have servers in different countries that load balance and stream from Canada. Where getting sued for playing some music is bit of a problem for authorities. OVH networks provide a juicey connection as well.
Why do you need myspace or any of these other moron sites to get music out? If one has done their homework, you just do not need myspace, twitter, facebook, youtube, beebo and the rest of the other sites jumping on the Bandwagon for fame and fortune.

Just do what you decided. Give it as a Christmas present. You really do not want all the hassle of an xbox or PS3 for that matter. The games are expensive and to stream media is easy. I say forget the technological emotional blackmail that gets you hooked into parting with far more money than you intended.
This is the way these corporations work. Remember you always have a choice even though circumstances appear that you do not. Just psychological entrapment.
Do not even get me started on illegal "info gathering" when you put it online. Give it to someone you hate.
I say develop, be inspired and when the "Big Guns" have stopped fighting, they will realise they have missed the boat after all their petty wranglings.
And what will you do when you're slapped with a lawsuit saying you're infringing on a patent?
Falcon
Well as you say they will have missed the boat and more than likely a new "patent" filed in their absence, so the cycle starts all over again.
9 weeks is the time it takes lazy system admins to recover from drinking too much coffee and eating donuts before they they can function.
There are too many unmotivated people working in IT and they are in no hurry to patch things. Remember don't do today what you can put off until tomorrow.
pingveno, your analogy is excellently put and brutally to the point.
We need more people like you, maybe then some cases would not have to go to court in the first place.

If people stopped moaning instead of suing each other, we might make some progress. Really they are behaving like little children who have had some candy taken off them.

This quote from Spike Millgan is quite appropriate here - "MONEY CANNOT BUY YOU FRIENDS, HOWEVER, IT DOES GET YOU A BETTER CLASS OF ENEMY".
If this is the big-box hit that the first 3 star wars were... do I get some sort of cut for my 15 seconds of fame? I mean, that'll still be tonnes!
You cannot be serious. Why would you want money when you can make a complete fool of yourself on X-Factor or America has got talent instead or one of those other pathetic reality TV shows which people get hooked on.
Now if you just sit there, I will cut off your head with my light sabre to put you out of your misery. In the meantime, I am going to hump Natalie Portman and buy Father Anakin an S10 Gas Mask. We will then find a "worm hole" and end up on the Farscape set, Do a few Star Gates, meet Dr Who and the crew from the Tomorrow People and Blakes 7, hitch a ride on a Vogon ship from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, get dropped on the set of Battlestar Galactica, have a few wars, then get beamed up by the Star Ship Enterprise just in time to save William Shatner's wife from drowning in a swimming pool. There will be an anomoly in the space time continum, when Q arrives and transports us back to earth where Serenity appears and saves all our arses, whilst half of the crew jerk of to Sigourney Weaver in Alien only to find out Predator is on the case, but not before BladeRunner makes a debut and Arnie is the Terminator, before moving from Austria to California pinching a woman's butt and declaring himself the govenor.
I could go on, but I am tired of all this time travel. Cocoon *wink* I need to get back to reality and watch Weird Science and ask other slash doters, could we really make a girl as long as we wear Bra's on our heads. Damn Kelly le Brock is sexy! The mind boggles.
I would read the full 2,400 pages. If you want to understand something fully, you have to read all of it, not just read a few pages and think you understand something when clearly you don't! IMHO this is the difference between a professional soldier and one that is amateur and cannot be arsed.
