We might not change the pitch of our voice to imply an action, but we change it to imply many other things - emotion, truth, etc. However, its harder to use pitch to imply a transition - at least over a single word. Over a sentence, you could go from (e.g.) high pitched to low pitched to convey going from happy to sad, or from Alice to Bob. And although I guess you could use the same spatial connection mechanism to give an emotional or tonal convention to locations of your hands, I don't exactly see that as being as common as the use of tonality to convey meaning in spoken language.
The other thing you can do is remove the QRs and replace them with standard bolts, or even (because Kryptonite is in such good favor right now) the locking hubs Kryptonite makes that require a keyed wrench to unlock easily. They aren't perfect, but they'll frustrate casual thieves, and the pros are going to steal it if they want to, the only way to beat them is to park somewhere where they can't do it unobserved.
In the home, a firewall at the perimeter is still a reasonable approach (assuming there's no WAP, or that the WAP sits outside the firewall.)
In a totally controlled environment, like your home, there's still a solid perimeter - if someone manages to get access to my home network, I am *seriously* fucked, because someone just broke into my house and have probably stolen all my DVDs and aren't fucking around with my network. There's no particular reason, assuming the usual precautions (patching, AV software, not using IE/Outlook, *always* using an edge firewall) that a home network can't maintain perimeter firewalls only, assuming its competently run.
Lock with a diameter too small to fit a jack in there. My u-lock (which, unfortunately, is both a Kryptonite and vulnerable, though I think I have a receipt and can get a free one from them) is just big enough to fit around my center tube and a bike rail. There's no way a jack could slip in between them when its locked; I've actually run into rails I couldn't lock to, but I'd rather ride an extra block to find a rail the right size than be vulnerable to leverage attacks.
I use locking hubs and a chain for the wheels, so I don't need to worry about trying to get the u-lock around more than the frame and the rail.
I owned one of those once. Left it (locked) at the train station, took the train to work, came home.
Bike was still there. Tires still there. Of course, they were slashed, and the chain (not the lock, the actual rusty ass chain) was stolen off the bike.
People are assholes. A cheap bike won't stop them from fucking with you one way or another.
Look for the ASM-1 design to get you started; it's a workable design, every once in a while synth-diy list will put out a PCB order, or you could just get as small order run. Not terribly hard to build, lots of good info on the web about doing it.
After that, the synth-diy mailing list is a GREAT place to pick up tips (and flamewars) and there's really a lot out there for the learning just on the web.
The problem is, its a lot easier for someone to say "Hey, I pay more money to live in a nicer neighborhood, why shouldn't that money stay to fund the schools in that nicer neighborhood" than it is for them to say "Well... I buy lots of stuff... so shouldn't that money go to my school?". Basically, property taxes, while they are more stable, encourage gross inequity in funding distribution; Michigan used to have spending ratios of like 2:1 or 3:1 from richest to poorest, IIRC. Even 75/25 isn't going to provide enough grout, I suspect the mix needs to be a lot closer to 50/50.
Nothing does *that sort* of distortion like a good tube amp, maybe. But I've never heard a tube amp give me a really satisfying crunch for a noisecore drum track. I like the really fucked up computer plugins for that (Destroyfx does some particularly good, and free, ones).
I claimed Michigan funds schools via the sales tax, which is true - they do fund mostly from sales tax. However, a portion of school funding does still come from property taxes. The reason for the change was to try to equalize per-student funding between poor and rich districts; localized property taxes encouraged the disparity, while sales tax allows the state to spread the money more evenly.
That $2000 in taxes on your home likely funds a number of things beyond just schools, and in some cases may not fund your school system at all. Again, I'd point to Michigan, which funds all schools via a state-wide sales tax, which you don't get to deduct from your federal taxes.
You are correct; there is indirect subsidy, but the feds do not generally subsidize those taxes because they want to fund schools; they do it to encourage homeownership, which is generally associated with positive societal trends.
Funding from property and other such local taxes (e.g. sales tax in Michigan) is a local or at most state-level funding source, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with how much money the "government" (read: Feds) spend on education vs. defense.
I've picked up WJR (Detroit) from the west Chicago suburbs during the day, although it sounds kinda crappy. That's about 275-325 miles (I don't know where WJR's xmitter is). AM rocks.
That said, I live *in* Chicago and I get to listen to AM dropouts on Cubs games. Curse you, tunnel before the junction, curse you!
Also, Ron Santo and Pat Hughes should be destroyed, and all radio broadcasters (ALL of them) should be replaced with clones of Ernie Harwell, the One True Announcer and Play By Play Man.
Looking at this, it looks like the kernel will be open source, and some 3rd-party device drivers will be non-open. I see no difference, without knowing whether Sun is planning a 'free' license or not, at least. Solaris is not those drivers, just like Linux isn't ATI's drivers, so get over the bitching about some aspects not being open-sourced.
My point was that complaining that Sun won't open-source certain proprietary drivers is totally pot and the kettle, given that Linux relies on similar things in many circumstances.
Since we don't know what license things will go open source under, and we don't know what things will go open source, show some restraint before applauding or complaining.
I didn't say the poster used it correctly, since they didn't.
However, his simplistic view of "one is a noun, the other a verb" effects no useful change in people's English understanding, as it prevents them from understanding the way an effective use of the verb "to effect" can affect an English sentence.
I've seen that. For me it seems to happen when I close all windows but one, and that one window left open is e.g. a flash window carrying a baseball box score thing. If I then open a new window using the FF icon, it won't respond until I close both the flash window and the new FF window, and open a third new FF window.
Haven't checked if this is an every time thing, but it happens reasonably regularly.
I wasn't exactly suggesting it as a actual poll, more as a "Most people don't know who the fuck Apple Music is, but they do know the Beatles". If you want to pay for a pollster to go out and do a representative US sample, fine, but I was using it as an illustration, not as a suggestion.
I'm well aware that the status of the name in this case has no effect, being that this is breach of contract, but I don't like people claiming "OH, everyone knows who Apple Music is" when a fairly significant portion of the population doesn't.
Most 35mm film is roughly equivalent to a 4096x3128 pixel resolution. However, it is not exactly equivalent, that's just a rough estimate, and it varies from frame to frame.

Well, there's also the fact that I'm right.
Mod is short for moderate. It is not an acronym, in any way shape or form. Thus, no need to capitalize the entire word.

This advice does not apply to corporate networks.
Best protection against a jack:
Lock with a diameter too small to fit a jack in there.

All in what's trying to be achieved.

Relative percentages, China vs. US
Landline phones: ~20% vs ~60%
Cellphones: ~25% vs ~50%
The obvious answer is that typing one-handed just became typing no-handed.
I'm sorry, I seem to have had some hypocrisy stuck in my throat.
All better now.
