I always had zero tolerance for non paid standby requests unless an hourly fee was agreed upon. I flat out told employers that I spent time offshore fishing and that getting me on the phone would be impossible.
This new system sounds about as potent as a potato cannon. Apparently the real issue is that foreign ports are closed to merchant ships that carry weapons. I propose that a tow behind weapons platform be towed behind cargo vessels. Then when they wish to enter foreign ports they simply anchor their weapons platforms at sea when the vessels wish to enter harbors. That would quickly allow us to kill off the pirates. Alternately we could use predator aircraft to kill off any hostile vessels that approach shipping.
Next time I go on vacation I'll put it online complete with photos of a great new plasma TV. That is right after I wire it up to a 220 outlet so that when someone lays hands on it they are fried.
Or, more moderately, anything that appears to be a breach in security can also be one heck of a set up to trap bad guys. Although I will say that I live in an exceptionally safe environment. In my location thieves are almost always quickly caught and our local courts do tend to issue very long sentences.
There is a multi story condominium 50 miles south of me that is now empty. It was evacuated as it is in danger of falling into the sea which used to be a couple of hundred feet away. It seems that this is now a common problem on many of the worlds beaches. But it is all their fault as these condo dwellers should have grown fins and gills to breath with.
It goes without saying that energy use and population go hand in hand. If we apply serious birth control laws we can actually shrink world population and use less and less energy. Sadly nations rarely have any real limits on reproduction as corporations instill nonsense in the population about the glorious nature of the family so that babies will be born and more and more products will be sold.
Let your breakfast cereal company picture real families and the hell that most of them go through and watch what happens to sales.
Yes, the idiot is known to do bad business. Sadly if we start shutting down corrupt businesses we will shut down the American economy. We might have to shut down most state governments as well.
Could this device be used to kill off bacteria in blood without ruining the blood? If so it could be used in a device somewhat like a unit used for kidney patients to save people with runaway internal infections.
Those that do not believe that global warming is real have very real and very sick motives for their denial. No amount of evidence or proof will ever change their minds. They simply are not concerned and all that they want is to feel safe and to have their positions in this world unchanged. In addition it is part and parcel with some other idiotic conservative doctrines. Some of these doctrines are somewhat occult in that they have never been seriously defined. For example the anti abortion loonies have a deep feeling that the general morality may change if abortion remains available. Their feeling is that any change in community morality somehow endangers them. The usual nonsense that it is a moral imperative for them to stop abortions is nonsense. There is no moral duty to stop other people from using an alternative such as abortion. Trying to equate it with stopping slavery or other such tripe are symptoms of primitive minds running wild with poorly formed abilities to reason.
Wouldn't it be easy for Google or anyone else to bypass a block and use a third party to mine that data? It seems to me that as long as their data is open to one it will sort of remain open to all.
Good Lord! I haven't even got relativity down pat yet! How can I get my head around this new stuff and does it explain the warp speeds of Starship Enterprise?
This fellow will not be convicted and the cops will be sued. The law tells people what they can not do. With rare exceptions it does not compel people to act. For example if a person is under a doctor's care then the doctor may be taken to task. But a random person has no obligation at all to help a drowning man or even to let others know that there is a man drowning. Unless this fellow owned the space in which this problem occurred he has no relationship to the issue at all. Cops often are sadly under educated and this is a prime example of cops crossing the line. Crowd control is the cops' responsibility and not a public speakers. Cops have numerous ways of controlling crowds. If they were too lazy or too stupid then they need to be fired.
I normally change distros every few weeks but Ultimate Edition may have changed all of that. It is simply too good to foresee anyone having a better distro for quite some time.
I also burned the latest Knoppix DVD which is almost 4 gigabytes in size and it is really a great distro as well. If people are not using these distros they darned well should be as they seem to be better than anything anyone else has to offer.
It is one thing to out perform another company but when one enters into talks and mentions limiting another company you can just hear the DOJs lawyers gearing up for the trials. The trouble that I have with this is that Microsoft pays fines but the fines, although seeming large, are not enough to stop them from illegal actions. And messing about with Google is a dangerous as Google has the resources to really fight back.
Augmented reality will be a huge success but the one area in which it may have problems is in navigation of streets. Data will have to be constantly refreshed. Imagine failing to see that the city has changed a street to one way because your data is a day out date.
You are quite right about behavior and depression. There are some depressed people who even suffer from a strange, compulsive laughter. The notion that a health insurer even has the right to concel someone over this type of supposed evidence should trigger a major law suit.
Science is going beyond the ability to imagine. Already we have areas of science so specialized that scientists can not communicate to each other as to the details of their expertise. It becomes difficult for those gifted with writing skills to catch on to the image and potential of these areas and bring them into popular formats such as sci-fi.
All college students should leave Pittsburgh! Then the mayor can observe the consequences and decide whether college students have been paying their fair share all along. Sales taxes, jobs created, and willingness of companies to be located in Pittsburgh all relate to colleges being present. The real truth is that Pittsburgh ought to pay students for being willing to put up with that dump of a city.
The Corps may very well have used poor judgment that led to the disaster in New Orleans. But the law suit will not stand. In essence the Corps of Engineers is an extension of government and the publics control of funding through taxes limits both the quality and number of projects that the Corps can undertake. After the decades of budget cutting, which were a part of numerous republican presidential platforms, the failure of a project here and there could be easily foreseen. In essence the people of the United States are suing themselves. Yet the people were the ones who wanted all of the tax relief that led to this type of catastrophe. Higher courts will dump this law suit and claim sovereignty as an excuse.
The nature of this problem persists in that current policies are to simply build levies that will stand up to class III storms in New Orleans. It is a fact that class IV and class V storms will certainly hit New Orleans. Massive death and destruction will occur due to this ongoing policy.
Limiting power consumption on big screen TVs should have taken place a long time ago. These TVs are an absurd energy waste that has a negative effect upon all of us. If anything it is heroic that California has taken action while under the tremendous period of difficulty that they now face.
As far as over crowded prisons go it is not right that convicts suffer in inadequate prisons. Essentially any state or city that worships the idea of growth will always end up in disaster. California did everything it could to promote growth and business and now they simply are paying the piper. Lousy prisons are just one symptom of the problem.
Linus also aided a movement that helps to reduce radical capitalism as a social concept. In fact that may lead to a more peaceful world. Regardless of the thinking of those in the open source community they do have a political influence which may be more substantial than they ever realized much less intended.
Since we in the US seem to now be also controlled by every governments' copyright laws the only answer is to insure that all of us at every single moment are under perpetual surveillance to be absolutely certain that we comply with the laws of every brutal, jerk water, banana republic on the face of the Earth. After all copyright is just sooooooo important!
I see no reason for that teacher to suffer job loss or any other punishment. We do have the right to consider what he says to students in his class. But things done, not for consumption, of his class are his own business.
Instead of pushing people into a cookie mold just because they are teachers consider that most of the people in this world that do great things were social deviants. Even Einstein was a social deviant to the point that he had to escape his homeland. Isaac Newton would have been executed if his sexual acts were made public. Edgar Allen Poe was such a deviant, defined by his poverty, and later by his alcohol addictions and near insanity that he would be locked in a hospital in a better society. Lord Byron was a political revolutionary and rioter.
What we do know is that hard times produce orderly behavior whereas comfortable times produce all kinds of slack behavior. Taking church away from the center of the schooling experience may have been the last straw that broke societies back. Put Christian teaching heavily in place in the schools and mix it with the current economic hell that people are suffering and people will straighten up in twenty years or so.
In order to actually compete one must compete against all merits of other software. Microsoft products cost money. Open source products usually do not cost money. Guess who wins! I'll take Firefox even if it becomes slightly slower than Microsoft's offerings. I'll also keep my money in my pocket when i take Firefox.

An electronic attack on Scientology might be described as justice.
