You can do the same with by ssh'ing to the first server and scp'ing a file from it to the second, but that requires generating keypairs and copying the public keys around.
They talk about improving concentration yet they recommend flickery distracting fluorescent lights? Not a source I'd go to for reliable advice on productivity.
I would scoff at this guy if not for Facebook insisting on becoming integrated into every Web site and application possible. Positioning themselves as a trusted authentication broker, and banning alternate accounts, puts them in a position of a bottleneck for access to information and services. Honestly, I'd try to find - in addition to friends and family - a business that he had authenticated with using Facebook, and then sue them for tortious interference of contracts, or whatever the legal jargon is.
Better to use "sudo -e". It will use your favorite editor automatically from $EDITOR as well as granting secure access to the one file only, and making the editing atomic.
The post you quoted was referring to the current Bush White House claiming to have lost emails as part of a botched Notes-to-Exchange migration, if I remember correctly. They suddenly noticed the missing messages after they were given a court order to produce them. No, it didn't get a lot of attention by the news media. But look! A black guy and a hot chick running for office! Let's have more popularity contests!
I've had one wreck where a guy SITTING BESIDE ME at a stoplight pulled slightly ahead of me as we moved, waited for me to disappear in to his blindspot, then nearly took the front end off my bike forcing me to brake harshly and drop the bike. He just thought I somehow mysteriously teleported out of his view.
Wow, I hope he at least noticed you on the ground in his rearview and stopped to check on you and exchange info.
Were you in traffic? That's the situation that worries me... dropping the bike with vehicles coming up behind.
I had another one where I was RIGHT NEXT TO HIM in slow rush hour traffic. Like literally sitting by his driver side door. He pulls over in to me while I have nothing but a concrete barrier to pull over in to. I laid on my horn for a few seconds, he finally jerks his head up, looks shocked, sheepishly waves at me, and KEEPS COMING THE FUCK OVER. IN TO ME.
Yup. I was making a right turn onto a street and I noticed an oncoming pickup. Its right turn signal was blinking, but my intuition said wait. Maybe I noticed the speed was too high, particularly at the whiny-baby speeds everyone makes turns around here (that's the thing....despite how bad everyone drives, they sure are careful to slow to a crawl at every possible occasion). Anyway, sure enough, he sailed on through the intersection.
So the next traffic light happens to be red, and I pull up alongside him on the left. Motion for him to roll down the window, then politely mention his turn signal was on and I nearly pulled in front of him. And the turn signal was still on. He half-pauses from his phone conversation and says "Yeah, thanks", and looks at me baffled, like he doesn't understand why that might matter, or even what he should do next. After I stare at him in disbelief for at least 5sec, he finally switches the turn signal off! Then he rolls the window back up and resumes the phone conversation.
Now I am the most introverted, least likely person to chat up another driver ever. And I was polite about it. But you have to be assertive on a bike. I think being assertive in person on bike-related topics comes from having to learn to be assertive on the road.
Riding a bike doesn't mean you own the road, you're right. But riding a bike DOES make you a better, more attentive driver by necessity. Learn from their lessons, and you might become a better driver too.
I had always heard this before and I always thought it applied to everyone but me. I always checked mirrors, head-checked, looked carefully and proactively for bicycles, motorcycles, etc. But after I had the bike for a few months, I rented a car and was amazed at the difference. I'm not talking about texting while driving (which I will admit I have done in the past) or whatever. I mean just noticing all the other vehicles around and their behavior and being ready what they might do. I used to try to make a mental model of the traffic around me and keep it in mind but was never very good at it. On a bike that skill comes quick.
I used to have real bad luck with my car. Traffic is crazy in Orlando and I got in a lot of accidents. Almost all of them the fault of the other driver. Since I've had the bike, not one. Close calls, yeah, but even in those cases I noticed it happening and through luck (probably) or quickness (self-flattery) I was able to avoid it. No more "what just happened? phew..."
Motorcyclists don't think they "own the road" as you charge: they think they own the tiny bit of road they happen to be occupying at any given point in time.
Slight correction: I own the width of the lane. I'm not allowed to lane-split in Florida so I don't. Even when I really really want to. I respect the lane space you are occupying in your car. Please respect mine when I'm on a bike.
For the record, I give extra consideration to bikers and bicyclists when i can see them because i'm aware of how horrific the injuries are on those vehicles.
Now that I've expended my bile on my other reply to your poor driving, I'll relate an interesting anecdote. I read an abstract of a study somewhere (I'm not looking it up, sorry, went running this morning and I'm quite proud of that and it's all the energy I'm expending today) that says drivers can sometimes look directly at a bicyclist, motorcyclist, or smaller car and not even see them. I believe this, of course, from personal experience. The reason is interesting: apparently somewhere in our lower brain we are actually scanning for threats when we drive. So your brain is smart enough to say "oh, him, I could crush him easily" and not pass the info up to your conscious mind. Probably helped cavemen avoid being distracted by squirrels or whatever when trying to kill a tiger.
I wear a tinted face shield and usually have the sunglasses inside the helmet (yeah, my helmet rocks) flipped down too during the day. This isn't just because it's deathly hot and bright in Florida. I like to think that the alien look of an inhuman face glaring at drivers trips up the uncanny valley and causes me to be perceived as a threat, thereby causing people to pay attention to me. My bike and gear are also flashy "danger colors" in nature: black and red. Helmet's white, hopefully good night visibility. But who knows, I just wear what's comfortable and matches the bike, but it's nice to think I have an edge when it comes to safety.
Tip for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists: make eye contact with (other) drivers. It may save your life.
So i'm driving down telegraph, check behind me, and change lanes.
You're lying and you know it. You drifted over without even using your blinker.
Suddenly, this motorcyclist is hitting my window.. he was hugging my blind spot (you can't check it, that's why it's called a "blind spot"), which is particularly large on the model i was driving.
Bullshit. If you would adjust your mirrors properly in the first place, there would be no blind spot. Secondly, you should not rely on just the mirrors. Try double checking the lane before you merge.
Was the motorcyclist in his lane? If so, case closed, you were nearly a murderer. You should be on your knees thanking God that you were given another chance at life in the free world rather than a prison cell.
Remember, it is the responsibility of the person moving or changing lanes to yield to the traffic in that lane. I know, I was once marked "at fault" for an accident by a cop in that situation. I said "guy in the lane was speeding", he said "doesn't matter, you don't change lanes unless you're sure it's clear".
If so many people are near-missing you, maybe you're that guy!
Or maybe the roads are insanely dangerous because of people like you. I don't know if the grandparent is a bad driver, but I know for sure that you are.
I live in Florida and I see all the time people drifting around lane to lane without a care in the world. Usually I am able to keep my distance from them and watch from far behind. The easiest way to tell is when someone is driving a large vehicle as you were.
Other times I have had the privilege to have people merge right into the side of me. For example I was in the right hand lane on 408, going to exit onto Semoran. I was owning my lane, moving exactly with traffic, and directly alongside the driver to my left. If she looked directly to her right she would have seen me. But she started merging directly into me. I honked and she slowed (not stopped) her approach just long enough for me to downshift and yank the throttle. Otherwise I would have been crushed against the concrete wall.
I have been saved by torque and speed alone more times than I care to count and I have only been riding since December. Oh and why do I even have a motorcycle? Because my car was crushed when I was rear ended by a big rig, because I had the audacity to slow to 55 when the roads were wet and traffic ahead was jamming up. That's another obvious case closed: rear-ending.
Don't you dare come in here and lecture motorcyclists about safety when you admit to nearly running them over. You're probably the type of person that whines about loud pipes, too.
By the way, snapping people's pictures while at speed on a public road is a good way to get yourself, the other driver, and innocent third parties killed. Remember princess Dai?
Yes, good point, the pain of your soul being sucked from your body by his evil picture capture device can be distracting to a driver. Or are you making a death threat to keep your bad driving a secret?
Florida is even better.
If your insurance (on the vehicle in Florida, not the driver) lapses, they immediately suspend not your registration for the affected vehicle, but your driver's license!
Have fun getting insurance now that you've recently had a suspended license.
A friend had this happen in the same situation as far as changing insurance providers. He claimed there was no way to fix it...maybe he waited to long to try to get out of it, or maybe they're just jerks like that. I wouldn't bet against the latter.
Clearly the answer is to set up a honeypot. Create a torrent with a plausible filesize and a tempting filename, like a popular movie or whatever. Then make a giant and entirely false list of peers, preferably including IP addresses from government, educational institutions, and lawyers' home computers. Let the *AAs do their lazy work and send notices to everyone. Sit back and laugh at the blowback to them for their false complaint.
The Oath of Enlistment (for enlistees):
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The Oath of Office (for officers):
"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."
One notable difference between the officer and enlisted oaths is that the oath taken by officers does not include any provision to obey orders; while enlisted personnel are bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice to obey lawful orders, officers in the service of the United States are bound by this oath to disobey any order that violates the Constitution of the United States.
As I understand it, enlisted get stuck with much less freedom to have objections to orders, while officers are held to a much stricter standard in general behavior and ensuring the legality of their orders.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Now, remember the oath of office?
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
If you don't think that President Bush and his government and industry cronies are domestic enemies of the Constitution you're deluding yourself.
True. However HTML is always used diabolically.
Therefore, although it would be nice to have headings, bulleted lists, etc in mail, it's simpler to just ban HTML mail.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
