Okay, so all the BSD guys are bashing runlevels. What's wrong with runlevels, exactly?
To begin the discussion on the for side, here's one benefit to runlevels. You can specify which services are to be running at each runlevel: single, multi console, multi windowsystem, etc. The behavior is documented in a well known way, not a pile of custom scripts. So this is a benefit and a convenience.
Barricade Gel, which you can spray on something and it becomes highly fire resistant;
Thermal Imagers can spot victims through smoke and fire or hotspots through walls;
The e911 system involving GIS mapping.
But despite cool stuff, it seems most firefighting is not technological and has only evolved slowly over the last 100 years. Wildland firefighters still use a shovel and not much else, even with air drops. Someone must still risk life entering a burning structure to retrieve victims; and is is a big risk.
"Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for MIDDEWARE."
"Well, I'll ask 'im, but I don't think 'e'll be very keen-- 'e's already got some, you see?"
Online education flies in the face of thousands of years dating back to the fucking greeks where education is done in a classroom, with interaction, with a learned instructor (usually).
As does the auditorium model where you don't interact with the instructor.
At least online with a web form, if you have the ideal teaching application, it will keep presenting and quizzing you with the material you miss and race through the material you're good at. That plus some web chat with the instructors might be better than the auditorium.
Is this a minor point of English, or is there a technical distinction between the terms "on orbit" and "in orbit"? I don't recall hearing the former term until relatively recently in our space program.
Once I'm sure where a spam came from, or better yet, who benefits from it, if I sign them up for some dead-tree mail or some spam mailing lists, does that make me a vigilante?
It's not illegal to sign someone up for a mailing list in most countries. It might be harrassment if I do it a bunch.
But if we each sign every spammer up for one paper thing and enter their website contact email for one mailing list, they'll be DOS'ed and each contributor would not be harrassing. And since we have not communicated, we would not be conspiring, either.
If your're visiting Mt. Rushmore or the Black Hills, enetis.net has 801.11 APs in Rapid City and Hill City. They use hardcoded subscriber MACs but maybe they would cut a ond-day deal for visitors.

First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

This quote has been mentioned many times in the context of M$ strategy, but this document indicates to me THEY think things are in the middle of stage 3. was a policy document, not some shiny PR.

Umm, yea, that's good, if the bus frequency you're probing runs under 10 kHz. How many busses are in that range these days?

"Oh yes, it's ver' naahs."

So this is justice and it's it's legal.
Pelican cases, eg this one, etc.
Only rated to -10F, but the failure mode is probably
the O-rings loosing getting stiff.
