We had better get the etiquette of removing it before entering the locker room sorted out pretty quickly. Are people going to take it off when entering the men's lavatory too?
They are probably not taking it off. And if I am in the lavatory I dont mind you coming in. I dont mind anyone coming in. Its a lavatroy for crying out loud! However, I would mind if one came in with the power to transmit it to the rest of the world and any NEO with a broadband connection, for it will stay there FOREVER! The web has no issues with Alsheimer disease, it doesn't forget anything when it gets older. So, that is where I draw the line.
I might have a crack in my crystal sphere, but I predict you this: The same people that are going to be glassholes will be the same people who now say:
- I don't need alcohol to have a good time...
- I have no secrets to anyone, privacy is for creeps...
- If you hate my googleglasses so much, you probably have something to hide! Are you a muzzy / nazi / pedo / terrorist / socialist???
- My kids never have bruises...
- "...and then I came home and kissed my wife goodnight" at the end of each story they tell.
So, you might want to consider the following:
- stop being around boring people
- Only be around the ones that are bro enough to sniff coke from a whore together with you. Even if she is 60 and missing a leg. And an arm.
- Punch the suckers in the face till your hand starts to hurt, who are about to sniff coke from a 60 years old Thai whore with one arm and one leg, together with you while having the glasses on. They are bro's, but with a learning disability. They have to learn... You are the teacher!
<p>What do you mean, "not sure"? You think this whole project was started yesterday? As opposed to, you know, the end of 1990's, being the time when the whole thing got approved?</p></quote>

In other words: It took those siesta sleepy heads 9 years to figure this out... It is partially because of working ethos I guess...
I think you are right. But yet... Imagine this: I make a little powerplant that, in it's core, works with a fairy inside it. But it works. All tests on the outside (measuring the output, no power goes into it, no additional fuel or whatever) - all tests - show that it really really really works. I fully disclose the whole machine in detailed drawings, even give my customers and scientist the freedom to open it up. Once they do *pufff* and the fairy is gone, the machine doesn't work any longer. Do you really think the patent office would grant me the patent?
Because I am not that sure if I am honest. Not even when it clearly, absolutely, beyond any doubt, truly works.
Even Andrea Rossi himself is a little afraid of this. He said that once you open the machine, the self-destruct function will terminate the working bits. He does this to protect his machine from prying eyes and people who want to steel this idea.
Define harmful please. If a store owner sees me lurking around the high end laptops and comes to me to help me (and his income of course) I think that that is not 'harmful'. If a server is tracking my every move around the web for years on end. Not so nice. Not harmful either, but annoying... yes, certainly. If a company is tracking my every move around the web for years on end and sells this to who knows who, and has a 'privacy' policy of 24 pages in fontsize 5. Mmmmnot harmful in the sense that it will harm my health or quality of life, but back OFF!! If a company is tracking my every move around the web for years on end and sells this to my future boss who wants to inquire my personal habits. This is harmful because it might deprive me of income (and with that food, medical treatments and so on). Yes harmful.
Privacy is not about harmful vs harmless. 25 Shades of harm I would say:-) A lot of us here remember the time before internet and cell phones. When I wanted to know about herpes I would go to the library and look it up in a book on STD's. No one would ever know (to a certain degree of course). Now this search queries are logged and stored and available to the highest bidder. That is a completely different story! The teens of today have no clue whatsoever how life would be without the web, social media, cellphones and the integration of all these. They therefore make different choices. Surprised? Not me. They have no 0. No baseline to what is intrusion and what is just fine.
But if youre finally at the questions, things go from bad to worse. One would expect a "Digital Crimes Unit" to:
- investigate security holes (preferably before shiping it out)
- make sure that virus-makers dont have a chance.
- find, cage and string up the idiot that makes Win8 harder to get rid of than a bad case of Herpes.
- see to it that three-letter-agency's (both US and nonUS) place backdoors in MS software.
- Explosions, romance, fast car's, flashing badges and glue-on-moustaches
But noooooooh... They really rather cry about the baddies making stupid botnets. DCU, pffff what a laugh </roll-eyes>
...Then you can buy more of these 'bad boy`s' to make even more BTC, buy even more 'bad boy`s' yet... Before you know it: WORLD DOMINATION!!! You could be driving around in one of these next week! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDoRmT0iRic)

Here are some interesting factoids for you: 97% of the neo-nazi's believe they are superior to black people 97% of the Black Panthers agree to the fact that they are superior to white people 97% of the children believe in Santa 97% of paranoid believe they are being followed 97% of the homoeopaths believe in homoeopathy 97% of the astrologists believe in astrology 97% of the KKK think lynchmobs are a good thing 97% of the intelligent design gang are absolutely convinced that God made it all 97% of all the interviewed Zen budists were convinced it is possible to clap with one hand 97% of the paganist movement think sandals are fashionable 97% of the physicians didnt believe in washing their hands before doing surgery 97% of the politicians think they are doing some great things
In case you are wondering... Yes, I am a 3 percenter!
And I suppose saying that the world is only 6000 years old is the biology equivalent of Narnia? I think the water they found is also 6000 years old, but the intelligent creator made it appear to be older to see ho will doubt him. The intelligent creator also provided me, a man, with nipples, so maybe some day's he is just drunk or just not/that/ intelligent;-D
Actually... you should see the politician who thought up this law. Whenever it is about IT (or something else he doesn't know about) He lowers his voice as to be more authoritative and starts droning on about CP. He does that trick every time again. It is quite annoying. Couple of month ago he wanted to make it illegal to keep your facebook passwd to yourself when in custody. And there he was on the telly again in his lowered voice: Well you see... Child pornography, you must know, can only be battled like this you see. That is why we need FB login credentials hhmkay? Tsjees. As if paedophiles use FB to communicate on their activities... 148 liked this rape!
And that is why rkhunter, clamav, encrypted partitions including swap, well configured iptables and well defined policies are so important. I got nothing to hide and want to make it as hard as possible for the police to find that out just that. Even if they are allowed to try.
Couple of weeks ago I went to buy a new laptop. At the shop I was immediately mugged by some MS employee telling me that windows was the best. I told him that I wanted to install Linux. He couldn't comprehend and I told him that it was more secure. He still didn't get it. So I asked the guy to help me out finding an AV for linux. He checked them all and couldn't find one "they are all for windows machines". I smiled at him and told him: Nice fucking product if you need third party software just to keep it secure. That was his red pill I guess.
I wonder if our radar tech is advanced enough to be able to see these small projectiles in time to intercept them.
If "your radar tech" is as good as the Phanlanx CIWS the answer is no. If "your radar tech" is as good as the Goalkeeper CIWS they might stand a chance.
It is politics that made me not take a FB account in the first place. This is why: In the 1930's Adolf Hitler was ELECTED into government. A couple of years later he invaded a lot of countries, including mine. The nazi's took control of all the files the government had on its citizens. People who had (for example) Rosenbaum or Levi as a family name were 'visited'. Police files on 'crimes' like homosexuality were examined as well and although the original government wasn't actively prosecuting gay people, the nazi's turned out to be slightly more active in that regard. People who had checked the box 'Jehova's Witness' also got to stare down the business end of a rifle. And the list goes on. All straight out of the paper files, with compliments of the former government. If the nazi's had FB tough, they would have their hands on far, far, far more explicit and far more detailed information, searchable with a mouse click. And people provide those bits of information without hesitation, without complaining and out of free will. The idiots! And for anyone thinking... nah, that 1940's business would never happen again... You are probably among the first one's rounded up.
Also, politics may change. What is legal now, might not be legal tomorrow (because the elected government puts new laws in place), and the elected government will set their constitutional instruments (aka police, intelligence agencies) on FB to monitor offenders. Social media and politicians are as dangerous as a box of nitroglycerin. In a roller coaster. Doing 100mph. On square wheels... No thank you, not for me!
The Ministry of Silly Walks has made a whole sound track to accompany that dubstep? Lovely! I think a soundtrack of the dubwalk and dubrun are in order as well. Now lets see that hexapod doing some dubsteps!
A few exceptions do not disprove the average. That is true. My point wasn't on the averages though. when we look at averages, medians, weighted averages and the lot... well that has to do with statistics. My point was that one exception renders a theory useless and I gave not one but a (be it incomplete) selection of scientist who did not behave in a way that we nowadays would call moral. If you can find an exception to a theory it disproves the theory right? The old "White swans, black swan" thing didn't make all the swans 90% white and 10% black, or "mainly white on average", it meant that not all swans are white. Or in this case, scientific literacy obviously does not make one a knight in shining armour that knows best. Falsification is, or at least that is what I learned, a basis for all science philosophy since C. Popper.
But maybe psychology, sociology, ethics and the lot aren't real science, but merely academic exercises of statistics...
>> And I'm still trying to figure out how the fuck magnets work! > Where did you get your fuck magnets from? I had no idea it was so high-tech!
It is a sort of babe magnet, dont you see?
On a more serious note... Ethics and science have little to do with one and other. Einstein left was a terrible husband, left his first child (who some claim was mentally ill) and her mother to themselves. In his consecutive marriages he cheated as if the nuclear holocaust was due next day. Plenty of physicians conducted horrendous medical experiments on inmates in the name of science during the WW2 both on Japanese as on German side. Some of these experiments were controversial or unscientific at that moment, but the WERE university educated physicians nevertheless. The Tuskegee syphilis experiment and Syphilis experiments in Guatemala were also conducted by doctors. In Sweden (until the 70's) there was a government program to exterminate the 'socially weak' by rendering the women infertile without consent or even informing them. Most corrupt politicians went, just like non-corrupt politicians, to university (Angela Merkel is a quantum physicist if I remember correctly, go to Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal or Cyprus to ask what people think of her moral codes).
In short, scientific literacy doesn't necessarily mean one will become more ethical inclined.
Troll's: Don't even think of starting a chemtrail/illuminati/cold fusion/other pseudo-science thread. We are talking real ethics here...
>> What is the purpose of the lab? Since it is a high school I am going to shoot low and assume “keyboarding skills” and basic net access rather than programing or CI. Doesnt matter, RaspberryPi can learn both and more. Beowulfcluster anyone?

The RPi is build just for this purpose. IMHO there is no reason whatsoever even to consider other options. Besides, as I pointed out before, I have seen lots of great/funny/interesting/instructive projects by all kinds of people who had one thing in common: White, western, relatively rich, computer savvy... Hardly any projects that use the RPi the way it was intended. It must be cool to see it in the field where it belongs!
If the government allows abortion, it basically means that they disallow you to start breathing in the first place If the government allows Euthanasia par example stopping the oxygen. Maybe one is still alive but in a vegetative state, stopping the breath-help-whatsitcalled is the end. Depending on the way you die, not breathing while dead can be both a cause as well as a (side) effect. Death penalty can be the government disallowing you to continue breathing by snapping your neck causing the brain stem not to give you the signal to breath. If you happen to live in Iran and be homosexual there is a good chance that they string you up by hoisting you from the ground slowly, then asphyxiation is the cause of death, the government has a say in this and you wont be writing any letters either... So if the government has something to say about life and death (and every government has) they have, directly or indirectly, something to say about your breathing. Be it before you start breathing (question remains when one is 'human'), if you should be kept breathing no matter what, and what to do with individuals who think they can 'take your breath away'.:-)
You even heard about Abortion / Euthanasia / the Death penalty? It means that the government has something to say about your breathing as well... Just saying...
What I was wondering about... if that thing goes as fast as 17.043 km/s, then what time is it on the voyager right now? Time should go slower there then here, but by how much? Years? Seconds? To put it in a more informal way: Do we have to worry that the voyager get the Y2K bug in a couple of weeks or is it more like the mayan calender type of disaster we are talking about?
I checked the aforementioned clip again and the latitude is west (of Greenwich), and 47 north is not where one would expect palmtrees... It turned out that 047.13.14N - 122.22.64W is near 48th street west, Tacoma, Washington. If the DoD was shooting at laser-pointing-dummies over there at 29-jan-2009, I guess it was already all over the news. So... sorry for the misinformation... my bad!
