and it's making me more ill from reading "shock" stories. Man-made messes are never good, but in popular media - we never compare those events to what happens naturally. Natural oil and gas seepage has been occurring for as long as those items have been available. It's even been noted in recorded history. We also seem to forget that oil, tar, and natural gas are... well... natural. There are many natural and deadly events - earthquakes, mudslides, lava, etc.
Then the violin starts on how oil spills kill birds... again, don't get me wrong. I'm not in denial. Yes - oil spills kill birds. But my rant is about the lack of perspective.Oil spills is near the bottom of most lists (Here's one list: http://www.currykerlinger.com/birds.htm). The estimate is 1-2 million die from this cause. What I didn't know is that glass windows (100-900 million) and cats (100 million) dominate the top half of the list. I don't see the bleeding hearts going off on a rampage to ban windows.
I understand that stories like this are focused. I understand that broadening the perspective may "water down" an issue or a solution to an issue... but leaving out perspective is just a damned bad habit - and sloppy too.
We are arguing for arguments sake without more data. Is this "rise" based off comparisons of data that were gathered in the same fashion (I.e., computerized results vs computerized results or computer vs manual)? Either way, how do you measure the nature of success or growth? (Rhetorical)... with the revolutionary and tangible results (I.e., transistor, vaccines, space exploration advancements, LHCs, etc). It seems we'll reap the reflection of our values down the road when our science hopefuls have a backup career with American Idol.
I guess it comes down to the definition of "contempt of court" and what that entails. If you ask me - it's simply ridiculous. But, i guess fences exist for a reason. Keeping the cows out = order in the universe.
I know several Ham operators and most of them are First Responders of one sort or another, helping out here - helping out there. One went to assist after Katrina. I love the mentality too - when something wrong - they are looking to run towards the problem (and address it) rather than follow the crowd running away from it. Sure - you can call it a "nerdy" hobby but so is D&D. The difference is that a Ham is more useful than *20-sided dice in times of communication failures. So - if you know a Ham - tell them you appreciate what they represent... event Radio Knights need the thanks while they sit and wait to help.
* D&D Warning: I don't know if they really use 20-sided dice and before you think of responding and correcting me - think about it - think about how stupid that move would be. If you still can't see it - go for it.
Quickie (sometimes drive-through) marriages and LLCs as far as the bloodshot eyes can see. All that glitters is gold don't you know... and somehow, I see the end of this drama ending in my wallet.:(
There are many ways to take news like this. For those invested, it's a blow. For the free market and those looking for marketing opportunities (cough...

When I first read it; I scoffed... but the more I thought about it, the more I now know it's true. Here's a simple test:
From the perspective of the "little man" - Reports surface scorching Sun vomit approaching earth - Report received - Man eventually fries
From the perspective of Dr. Strangelove - Receives report - Replies: Thank you (bye) - Closes hatch - Proceeds to repopulate the Earth with super models
(Insert song here: "We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn)
but in all seriousness... I see a lot of neat scientific ideas for many things, but I've never really seen much about "farming" our skies. Sure - Cloud City will more than likely be non-manned and mostly just equipment - but hey - it's a start

that these rules serve to protect very sensitive information. It's not like protecting my personal photo album or someone sending annoying emails from my Facebook account to my address book...
Social engineers can and will take advantage of the "human factor" within military networks if left to their own devices (i.e., social media retards). Listen, I was in the Marine Corps and although I loved my brothers in arms, not all of them were the brightest bulbs on the string.
Limited access with layers of approval is probably an appropriate model. However, when and where they feel it is necessary, the military should feel free to completely block without all the grief and criticism.
I think it depends on the size of the garbage, but what about sending up a seek-and-destroy satellite that uses lasers to "push" garbage back into re-entry?
I was very young, but I remember: 1. An annoying space alien 2. The the crew of the spaceship looked like the early photo of the Microsoft crew 3. Some dude getting sucked up by a sentient asteroid and becoming "one" with it. 4. And someone who figured out that how you die is as important as how you live - and surfed on space garbage into the planet's atmosphere.... yeah...
Hook, line and sinker... I'm a sucker for CH jokes:
1. Who's the only person who can slam a revolving door? A: Chuck Norris 2. When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side. 3. Superman can compress coal into diamonds. Pffft. Chuck Norris can stretch diamonds back out into coal. 4. Chuck Norris maintains a concealed weapons license in all 50 states just to legally wear pants. etc
... in military application? Robo-cops, emergency responders, and others of similar categories of future application will most definitely benefit from advanced imaging. HUD capabilities as well -- non-disruptive arrows near the peripheral regions of your vision guiding you to the nearest McDonalds when you ask for it. It won't stop there, "Aps" for your new vision capabilities will spring up -- virtual retinal compass, retinal level (yes, you only need two hands to make sure that picture frame is straight), and the list goes on. Oh, and don't forget the ever loving popular - pop-ups.
Parroting = Hearing *something, and repeating it (to the best of your ability)
*Something = The issues du jour
The issues du jour = we have been hearing a lot (lately) about China. Yes, China can be replaced (and has been) by any other country.
So - "parroting hate"? C'mon - you just added the hate part. He was parroting current events. Point that finger back at yourself and see who is feeling hate.
The article highlights two important facts 1. Fun 2. Profitable
It's been a long time since I broke into my grade school's soda/chips/candy closet from a skylight on the roof. Sitting there drinking soda and enjoying chips, I can clearly remember how exciting (breaking in) and rewarding (chips/soda) it was. Later, I learned to respect other people's property.
So what now? If you park a trailer in an accessible area... expect the back doors to be open and the cargo gone. It's very exciting - it's very rewarding. Is it wrong - sure. Are the thieves the ones to blame - no. Not exactly. The thieves are not the ones to blame - the thieves are to be expected. It's an ongoing game where we square off with human nature - make it furn for the security side - keep building better mouse traps. Don't like this perspective? Ok - change human nature then. Good luck.
