Oh boy! Another gruelling series of ADP incompetance! Watch as the AD Police get ground into the dirt! Marvel as yet another Buma shouts, "Dance ADP slug!" Laugh as another faceless ADP officer does the 50 cal chaingun cha-cha! Swoon As Daley Wong (snort) romances Leon!
Yes friends, you too can enjoy the ensuing hilarity of the good ol' AD Police!
Let's face it, the Star Wars we knew and loved, has been clouded by the golden lens of nostalgia and memory. People cry, "But it's the same now as it was in '77!' Of course it was, but we were kids and didn't care. Now we're older, wiser and wanting to see more quality material. Like Galaxy Quest.
This has happened before. Stupid government raids initiated by bored agents. Judges have tended in the past to smack the feds silly. Ramsey electronics can kiss that stuff goodbye, as well as any losses or damages.
Geeks and nerds at the NSA? Where? Where? I can honestly say, after being a "consumer" of the NSA's cryptography products, mainly punched tape. I'd have to say the NSA I saw was very very very dull. There's a reason though, why they call it the No Such Agency. It's cause everything they do, (99% cyrptography) is at least S E C R E T. It's not cause there is anything interesting there... It's just cause they classify their toilet paper waste at least confidential...
A ham could've done this in something the size of a suitcase. This isn't news. Heck, the 135 on the F-15 can put out an order of magnitude more than that, and it's the size of my cat's carrying crate. Granted the 135 is a couple'a mil, and it does more than spit out noise, but this is standard EW junk.
Get one of those serial cable extenders that come with serial mice. You know a 25 to 9 pin thingy. Plug it into your 25 pin serial port, voila. If that don't work, run up to your local computer store and buy a 9 to 9 extender.
Actually, considering that their product deals primarily with US power... I would think it kind of odd that someone in the UK or New Zealand or wherever hasn't capitilized on the concept by selling a simillar device in their own country. Ergo, it would seem they are doing plenty of business in the US that doesn't seem to necessitate them ramping up a product for every country with different power requirements.
/* And for the person with the blinking fluorescent lights, the web site specifically says that these things dont' work with fluorescent, because they need the current path across the filament in an incandescent bulb. */
You mean there's useful information on that spam haus looking website?:) Besides. Who reads instructions? I figured it out quickly enough, eh?
I disagree with the point about having some gold on hand. If the US dollar isn't worth squat for whatever reason, then presumably, some bad Juju has hit the fan. You'd be better off spending your gold now on canned goods, bottled water and extra ammunition. (To latter to protect the former, eh?)
That's weird. I got mine and it works super keen. I've noticed that the transceiver units cause fluorescent lights to blink annoyingly, but that's solved with replacing it with an incandescent bulb. Send it back, say I, bitch righteously. Be prepared to wait though.
Here's whatcha do. Ok, so the starter kit costs $5.90. For that, you get the firecracker serial dohickey, a remote, a transceiver unit and a dimmer module. Keen. Hop on over to rat shack and *sound of record skip* $12 bucks for an extra dimmer? You're insane. Tra la la. "Honey, I need your credit card." Order up another kit,(different name on card, only one per person) at the low low super low insane price of $5.90. Voila. Extra remote ($40) extra dimmer ($12) and an extra xcvr ($18). Cha ching. Perpetuate the scam a bit, ask a few friends to help out, pony up $5.90 and voila a third kit.
As far as the spam haus that they are, just hit remove when you get that first message. Big deal.
The upshot of this? I get a super cool toy that is actually useful for dirt cheap.
Socrates (who is arguably the true father of Western culture and way of thinking) was an agnostic --he did not believe in the Olympian gods and was searching for a 'god' but mostly, he spoke of man-as-God.
I say unto you, check thy facts and thy history. Read the Apology of Socrates.
I quote: "This you must recognize, the god has commended me to do. And I think that no greater good has ever befallen you in the state than my service to the god. For I spend my whole life in going about and persuading you all to give your first and greatest care to the improvement of your souls, and not till you have done that to think of your bodies or your wealth."
Socrates was very religious. (And I have no clue where you got this, man-as-god BS.)
Rather, that military people have access to guns, and rather than depending on gun control laws in such a situation, you have to depend on the people in the house. --- That's a load of bull if I ever heard it. Military personnel have access to weapons when they are assigned, yes, but you don't see Joe Schmoe the private taking home his weapon and grenade belt. That's because the military treats a weapon like a weapon. I fail to see how a Coast Guardsmen, Marine, Sailor, Soldier or Airman has any easier access to weapon than Bubba down in Arkansas going to an unregulated gun show. If anything, having a Military person in the house with a weapon should more than likely cause a little more safety paranoia.
That's spooky, besides, why would MS do this? Well, best guess is that it's a tactic to for the DoJ! Besides, who would wanna see MS sourcecode anyways? I bet the WINE guys couldn't use it... I'd be willing to bet no one will be able to use it...
Golly Andy... That has to be the most vacuous, vapid and fatuous thing I've ever seen. And more adjectives describing airheadedness. Not because it's a mickeysoft course, but... but... Good grief!

Deserves the cluestick with a nail thwack.
Has the prospect of being locked in the bathroom after Y2K, in any way prompted you to stock your bathroom with a secret stash of comestibles?
Hiya sparky!

Re: Human Race 35K years old...
I think ol' boy meant the oft quoted age of human civilization. Like, before the Tigris and Euphrates civilization. N' stuff.

Naah, that was Susan Calvin. Besides, can't be a parody of Dr. Calvin, she's smiling.
On that note, I thought the article was a hoot. MechWars indeed.

It's called, "Somebody spilled the beans". It was never supposed to be announced. However, I can say it was extremely interesting.

Hmm. It looks like the Volkswagen logo. Pretty blase really.
