Yep. I'm getting some remodeling done on my house right now. Some of my friends think I'm weird because I'm pulling cat5e around the house when everything I use is already working find with WPA2. (Tivo, PS3, etc..). It's only a matter of time before someone breaks WPA2, but by then I plan to have turned wireless off.
It's times like these I'm so happy to live in Canada, and look forward to enjoying the nuclear winter that's inevitibly coming sooner rather than later.
This would be the same Canada who sends 90% of their exports to the US? Good luck with that.
Yes, setting that aside.... uhm... because "international waters" begin 200 nautical miles offshore.....
Very few nations have decided their international waters go as far out as 200nm. The vast majority still observe a 12 mile limit, and quite a few still observer the old 3 mile limit. The few that have a 200 mile limit do so because they wish to lay claim to fishing waters.
There have been similar problems for those who handload ammunition. "Oh my god, this man had 12 pounds of gunpowder in his garage! And look at all this ammunition! It's an arsenal of destruction!"
And no, that's not hyperbole. It's happened. Generally only in places like California or Massachusetts, with their high proportion of Gun Fearing Weenies(tm), but not exclusively.
Considering that it was slipped in by a Democrat (Dodd) and the person blowing the whistle is a Republican (Armey) you might want to warn people about not purchasing the equivalent "Obama Is Evil" book.
You know how you can tell the party affiliations on a Slashdot story? If its negative about a Republican the summary almost always mentions it. If its negative about a Democrat they usually just say "Senator" or 'Congressman" with no party affiliation.
Ah. A somewhat more polite version of my standard line for overpriced crap like that. Mine is "For that kind of money there should be a button on the side labled 'blowjob.' And it had better work."
From the question it seems like it's related to a life insurance policy that doesn't pay on suicide, which is the norm
IANAL, but in many states life insurance still pays off on suicide as long as the policy has been in effect for a specific length of time (2 years in my state) and the death didn't involve a crime (OD on cocaine being a classic example).
"This person is related to a charged terrorist, deny him the goverment job"
Actually, this is a valid reason to deny someone a.gov job if the job requires certain types of security clearance. There are many factors that come in to play there that would not affect a normal job application. For example, being heavily in debt and behind on your payments is enough to endanger a security clearance.
It's not a shock that people who listen to Toby Keith end up being jack-booted jingoists or people that listen to Jay-Z and Dr. Dre end up morally bankrupt.
Gee, stereotype much?
Some of us listen to and appreciate (now hold on to your preconceptions tightly) more than one genre of music. While rap generally isn't to my taste, there is a bit of country that I do enjoy in addition to rock, classical, jazz, older Motown and such. If you think choice of music is indicative of intelligence then you are a sad individual indeed.
What really irks me the most is that the political party waving the flag of "small government"
Neither party is actually in favor of small government. My favorite description of the difference is that Democrats want the.gov out of your bedroom and in your office while Republicans want them out of your office and in your bedroom.
Unfortunately there are people who have no problem making bizarre convoluted jumps of logic equating us with a bunch of self-immolating neolithic goat herders.
This isn't entirely new. The fact that nicotine enhances short term memory has been known for quite a while. I know someone who doesn't smoke but does buy the nicotine gum just so he can get that specific boost.
Whenever a series became licensed in the US most groups fansubbing that series stopped.
That used to be the case. More and more I've seen digisubbers whose attitude is "Yes, it's been licensed, but we don't want to wait until they put it out, so we're going to keep subbing/releasing/distributing." I wish I could say these were a tiny minority of subbers, but I don't think so anymore.
This hobby has changed quite a bit since the days when I and my friends would spend $75-$150 on an imported laserdisc and hook it up to an Amiga 500 with a genloc card and a script file to record a VHS fansub.
Whenever someone screams "They're violating our First Amendment rights!" about some private company being restrictive, I'm one of the first to explain that the 1st protects our right of free expression from Government interference. Converseley, lets say for the sake of argument that I have waived my 4th Amendment rights to my ISP in exchange for using their email service. This doesn't mean the.gov gets to abuse them. Hopefully a half sensible judge will toss this out.
In the meantime I'll just be happy that while my ISP is in the US I don't use their email service. Good luck convincing the service I pay to use out of Norway to give up my email.;)
Actually I was insulting a man who marries a woman and tries to force her to stay home with the kids when that wasn't what she wanted to do. But then you might have know that if you'd RTFA.
I have no problems with one parent staying home. I know several people who do that. Two families I'm thinking of the wife is the breadwinner and the husband is the stay-at-home dad.
Reiser, whose work kept him overseas in Russia for months at a time, wanted more children and did not want Nina returning to work as a doctor.
"I ran the business and I expected my wife to take care of the kids," he said.
Wow. Wotta guy. Let's see, I want to marry an intelligent, highly educated doctor and then turn her into a brood mare who stays in the kitchen making cookies. Yeah, that'll work.
Who cares about the touch screen? The iPod classic changes are more interesting to me. More capacity and cheaper price. The 80GB model is dropping to $249 and there will be a new 160GB at the old $349 price point.

Yep. People in those states are willing to give up their constitutional rights in exchange for a bit of extra security. Good luck with that.

.The motto is not "do no evil," it is "don't be evil.
Apparently they need to change it to
Do no evil*
*void where prohibited by law or the financial interests of our stockholders
If they're not going to try and make a judgement call about what is evil then they should drop their (now obviously) hypocritical slogan.
Things to do today:
Find out if NASA will let me have a laptop in that bed.
Find out if my boss will let me telecommute for the next 90 days.
