Stand outside of any court house scanner and you'll see: yes, some really attractive women go through that scanner - many of them are attorneys. (I dated a law student years ago and attend grad school near a law school. It amazed me how many really good looking women attended law school)
Now, considering that the only folks who have these scanners are government entities, there would be one hell of a shit storm if they do end up on a porn site. There's probably going to be one anyway - and rightfully so.
She did a great job explaining things in the video and her webpage (that is her's righ?) is very clear and even showed how she got the voltages - she didn't label them but there was a clear Ohm's Law calculation there for the voltage dividers.
To someone who's got enough money to pay a contractor to install a pool in their backyard, a $300 fine is probably the right amount to not be prohibitively expensive but still make them think about their choice of contractor the next time they hire one.
This is a lesson for everyone. Most people just hire the guy that worked on their neighbor's house - if the job came out well. And most people don't know about all the permits, fees, zoning and other niggling little things the cities and counties put in place and I'm not sure they really care. And it wouldn't surprise me if many of those homes don't have a fence around those pools.
I'm sure most of those people hired a contractor to come in and put the pools in. The homeowner didn't follow up to make sure that all of the proper permits and licenses were filed and paid for and probably naively thought that the contractor would take of it.
In other words, I bet that very few of those folks built those pools and intentionally tried to get away without paying.
I thought the British and the French proved that to be unprofitable?
The other planes....I just imagined the airline packing those suckers and having more than one middle seat. And you know they'll be charging extra for the window or the isle seat.
No, "Fair Tax" won't pass because it is anything but fair.
I was going to post a retort with the facts about it and then I realized it won't make a difference. Besides, I don't know why you don't like it and I don't feel like tackling all the criticisms about it.
Here's my quick and dirty irrational fucking argument for the Fair Tax:
Let's get this out of the way: All tax systems suck. None are "fair" There's no way to make it fair. We all take it up the ass because we the little people have always done that - things have never changed OK?
So why not make the pain a little easier and save the preparation costs every year?
Those teachers was a jack-asses who were taking points off just for the sake of taking points off. They've obviously been in academia for too long or have never worked in the real world.
One day, you'll be working on a project and you'll be in a restaurant. While sitting there, the solution to a problem you've been struggling with will pop in your head. All you'll have is a napkin and a pen.
And to add, the tech just adds more costs. The costs of education are spiraling up - especially college - and adding technology is only accelerate that increase.
The article sounds like they're adding tech for the sake of adding tech.
"Most of those changes are almost impossible to make without technology," he says. "Technology becomes the handmaiden of the change."
I completely disagree with that statement.
When I was an undergrad, microfiche was it. We were taught how to use that. Now everything is digital. So I ended up having to learn that. But didn't change was how to do the research.
The they have scenes were you can zoom in to certain parts of the photo. The one that zooms in on the nude beach where it appears that they're filming some sort of Playboy type of thing is really nice.
Anyway, you don't want to install Silverlight.....
And the ability to zoom in to certain views was pretty awesome. If Ansel Adams were alive today, I wonder what his opinion would be and if he would use such a technique. He would have ot do something. Many of the films he liked to use are no longer in production - at least in the 4x5 format he liked.
Apportioned costs have little to do with what actual services are being used by a department. It all depends on how management wants to allocate costs. Many times, accounting will just allocate costs across all departments equally. Meaning, even if you're one department out of two that only uses 1/10th of the IT department's resources, you get charged for 50% of it - as a simplified example.
In the poster's case, he doesn't say exactly how they're being "charged" only that it works out to $30/gigabyte.
That's always a point of contention among mangers: who should pay what part and how much of the overhead costs because it reflects in their numbers.
Who is this "we"? Oh I get it, you're playing one of those little hyperbolic games where you ascribe malevolence to researchers, sort of like how the IDers do. I'm afraid, Cinderella, the shoe fits on your foot.
It's TRUE! Where do you think the stereotype of "EVIL SCIENTIST" came from?
I am certain that Global Warming is an evil plot that the entire International Scientific community created in order to.... in order to...control the World! That's it! And to cause higher taxes!
Scientists want higher taxes and that's why they invented this whole global warming myth! And the reason why they want higher taxes is because.....because....um.......haven't gotten that far yet. But when I do, BEWARE! I will blow all of the Global Warming believers' arguments out of the water with my water tight logic!
Occasionally, you get these asshats who squeeze as hard as they can - you know they're faking it because they're an office worker and they're not built like Arnold when he was young. It's like WTF are they trying to prove?
You usually find them in you places: sales and HR.
I wish someone would modernize 688 Attack Sub and other submarine games - I can't even remember them all. They had them for the Apple II and Dos. The PC version of 688 Attack Sub (I think that's what it's name was) had multi player mode back then, too. The last submarine game I saw on the shelves years ago was some sort of underwater fighters game - it was like you "flew" this submarine in the 31st century or some such nonsense. I want WWII German Wolfpack or Cold War shit!
If there's something like that now for today's machines, I haven't seen it.
And they need to can the back story "video" shit. I don't want to see how the character got the job or whatever.
See, that's why I haven't played a video game in years.
I thought it was if the populace is jerking off to porn, they're not making real babies. And with all those men who are unable to find women, maybe the porn will be a distraction.

3. Hang out and serf web.
4. Discussion settled? Ask "Should there be brackets around code even if there's only one line? Like this:
If( foo == true)
a=x;
Or is it:
If( foo = true)

}
sit back and surf web for a few more hours.

Add in "If you do nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about" and you have a new version of "Rock, Paper, Scissors".

Ohm, I see what you did there.
These comments! There should be a Law.

Heck, if I were a company that wanted that torrent, I'd get someone to download it at home and walk it in to our office. .
Why? There's nothing wrong with what they're doing.
People put their lives up for public view. And if you made you profile private or whatever, then that's an issue with FB and not with these companies.
This is not different than reading someone's published autobiography.
I learned C++ because my dad had written his own custom version of tcpreplay, and offered me $20 to port it to Windows.
And gave you a lesson on outsourcing in the process. ;-)
