Cary police investigators have theorized that Brad Cooper, an engineer in Voice over Internet Protocol, had the expertise and ability to use the router to stage a remote call from his home phone to his cellphone so that it appeared that Nancy Cooper, 34, was alive on the morning that she disappeared
That's an awfully complex way of doing it. You could accomplish the same thing with a simple modem. I'm disinclined to believe the prosecutions simply because any phone engineer would not need a router.
Bin Laden is only responsible for the deaths of around 3000 Americans. George W Bush is responsible for the deaths of over 3000 Americans, and over 100,000 civilians.
Yet, there are people who ridicule those who believe in God because they *cannot* prove His existence.
They deserve to be ridiculed because no one should believe in things that cannot be proven. People who actually, truly believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster should be ridiculed, because it is ridiculous. Belief in God is no less ridiculous, and no less worthy of ridicule.
Your mistake is in thinking that if it can't be disproven, then it's OK to believe in. It's not.
"Oh", you say. "But you believe in the non-existence of god, you are holding a double standard". I am not, because it *is* possible to disprove the non-existence of god.
But you also get the equivalent on the secularist side of things, who believe that all religious people have undergone volontary lobotomies, and seek nothing better than to invent invisible friends for themselves
What alternative is there? Either God is real, or he's not. If he's not, you have to explain religion somehow. What other explanation is there for religion?
Huh? I haven't reformatted since around 2004. Just keep moving the same LVM onto bigger media. Honestly, there's no reason to reformat a Linux system, ever. Unless you did something really stupid and got owned.
The FBI should go after producers of child porn. The ones actually harming the children, not the spectators. Sure, bust the spectators if you happen to catch one anyway. But actively setting up stings to catch people who aren't actively going out and harming children is a bit of a waste.
I'd really rather have the FBI collecting evidence against Goldman Sachs.
Why do all the hard work tracking down serious fraud when you can link a honeypot image on some pervy website, do a reverse DNS lookup, call the ISP, get a warrant, and bust the perp? Easy way to boost your conviction rate, with very little man power, and the people will love you for protecting the children. Plus, you get all the kiddie porn you want... you know, for the investigation.
Indeed. On the days that I do eat lunch, I just end up feeling lethargic for the rest of the afternoon. It's a hassle to plan a lunch and an expense to buy a lunch. So I just forget about it and have a cup of coffee.
You can't boot from an encrypted partition, so there's a good reason to have a boot partition. A swap file can get fragmented, so there's a good reason to have a swap partition. As for "and so on..."
Filling up root can cause all sorts of undesired behavior, so it's best to keep the subdirectories that are most likely to grow on their own partition. That tends to be/usr,/var, and/home. You want to keep/home on another partition anyway, in case you need to reinstall the system without touching/home.
Ummmm I think this is actually very good for children, It allows PARENTS to introduce the material to them as appropriate rather than kids running down to the local store and getting whatever they want.
How exactly is that a good thing for children? What evidence do you have that one produces more desirable outcomes than the other?
I know it's a good thing for control freak parents, but that's not the same thing.
The problem with communism as it's been tried so far is that it hasn't been democratic. Totalitarian communism is just as bad, and bad for the same reasons, as totalitarianism capitalism. What the world needs is democratic communism.
FWIW, Bakunin forsaw the problems with Marxism well before it was ever applied. He famously said "freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality". He was right on both counts.
Any website that allows you to have you're password emailed to your email address isn't storing them hashed. So there are _many_ sites with that kind of security issue.
I have NEVER encountered a website that allows you to retrieve your password by email. Every website that I have ever registered on generates new random passwords if you forget your own. What kind of web sites are you going to that are run by such horribly irresponsible people?
Nethack is absolutely beatable. If you're already cheating, go ahead and read the spoilers. Memorize them. For every way you can die in Nethack, there's a way to avoid it. Learn to avoid crises before they happen. If you're not 100% sure something is safe, don't do it.
Once you figure out how to stay alive long enough to piece together most of an ascension kit, the rest of the game is pretty straightforward.
Nethack is actually a perfect example of why all those keys are so useful. If you actually sit down and play it, before long the keys just become muscle memories. You don't have to remember whick key is what, and where it is. You just think 'pick lock' and it happens. I assure you, when it comes to beating nethack, memorizing the control scheme is a negligible part of the challenge.
Rogue likes on consoles (e.g. Powder on the GBA) on the other hand force you to scroll tediously through menus. What else can you do when you've only got 2 buttons?
It appears the DMCA notice was automatically sent to me when the file was banned from public sharing. There was no real DMCA takedown issued. It was an edge case bug in their file removal system.
There are no edge cases in the DMCA. Either it was a valid DMCA request or it was perjury.

In your pocket. If you can keep it, you get to keep it.
Mod parent up funny.

A conservative who gives a damn about the people is called a liberal.

Are you just noticing this? There hasn't been a serious leftist or even progressive candidate in my lifetime.

We have a system in this country (Australia) that claims to be about classification, but is actually about censorship!
All classification systems are about censorship.
I'd be more interested in asking Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien questions about transporter technology.
Not every website is a business.

Of course rogue-likes have a story. It's just that you write the story as you play, and it's different every time.

Also, I've met Dick Blumenthal. He's a very nice man.
He's a politician. He has to be personable. That doesn't mean he's nice, just nice to you on the occasion that you met him.
