those TLA sites don't allow ANY electronics into the building... well actually thats not true, you can bring electronics into the building but they will either
a) take it away from you when you enter, or b) take it away from you when you leave
but on no account will they let you take anything electronic out of the building
its like when they baned "Furbys" and everyone said how stupid thats was. But what is a Furby? its a microphone and CPU and some memory. And the difference between a Furby and a "listening device"? some software and a hidden antenna.
As for camara cell phones being a risk, if you have seen the size of some of the new digital cameras then you know that cell phones are no risk by comparision to a lot of other options out there. Like this digital camera pen http://www.hard2buy4.co.uk/Gadgets-and-Boys-Toys/P ocket-Digital-Cameras/8829
In the US (at least on the Interstate Hwy, and in many states) the speed limit is required to be set based on 'traffic studies' of the average speed cars actualy drive at.
So when you see those little rubber hoses that they run across the road to take the measurements with remember to make sure you speed up so that you help boost the average:-)
are a close approximation of an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters, not only will you eventualy get Shakespere but some cool research papers as well:-)
Not all of it, and doing more homework would have helped *some*, no my real problem was on the output side, I couldn't do timed written tests. My writting was illegible and mispelled and my calculations always had trivial mistakes in them. But I also managed to 4-5 on 3 AP tests and had the highest SAT score in my class. So I was learning even though I didn't do a lot of homework.
I am of exactly the opposite opinion, ADD/ADHD is a disorder and not treating it (when properly diagnosed) is just cruelty plain and simple.
I have ADD and went from being last in my class in High School and failing out of college to graduating with Honors and going on to graduate school at the finest university in the country, after being prescribed Ritalin.
I hold more than a dozen patents and have had research papers published at world class conferences, so as the poster says, I am a very insightful, creative, and interesting folk. And this is only enhanced not suppressed by medication.
I still suffer the effects of going so late in life before being diagnosed, I can't spell for beans having learned all the wrong spellings when I was young. Its all very nice to talk about not trying to harm her "very special mind", but failing to treat her WILL damage her intellect forever, while treating her will allow her intellect to develop.
The average person expects Mars to be red, if they don't make it red people will not think its Mars. It's not really that they are 'lying' or anything, its just that the average person is too ignorant for them to want to deal with the hassle of everyone wanting to know why the pictures are not red.
Sure it might be nice to try to explain it to people but they would be drowned by the conspiracy freaks claiming they were pictures of the Arizona desert.
Hey isn't that a highway in the background of the last pic.......:-)
Of course I'm sure the locla Circuit City and COMPUSA will manage to come up with a suitable sob story. Anyone want to take bets on how long it is before one of these chains makes a press release about how Wallmart's action is "bad for the consumer and local computer stores......"
which they transfer to one of the 100's of stolen credit card numbers they have which they then go off and use to by something very expensive (in person).
As a side note, I know a network security company who got hit with one of these, end result? The FBI and the local (eastern european) police arrested and are trying the hackers in question.
When you start trying to extort real money across international borders you are into real crime. The FBI does investigate these attacks, and I am sure they will get much better at it as time goes on.

This isn't as good as I was hoping for, but here it is anyway, to the tune of "Day-o" (I think that's what it's called):
Powwwwwwww eeeeeerrrrrrrrr!
Pow-ow-ow-er!
Workday come an' me
Wan' me power.
Hey mister Mercury man,
Gimme back me power
Workday come an' me
Wan' me power.

I see a little UPS in place of pride,
Battery power, battery power!
Pass the fuel for the generators.
Diesel does just nicely
But it's very very dicey,
BANG
Generators?
Generators? (GENERATORS?)
Generators they don't go,
(Burning generators just don't go. )
most of the crap that gets put out these days isnt even worth the price of a DVD-R to burn your priated copy onto. Dito for the sluge that gets sold as music, and they act like the only possible reason their sales are down is p2p?? Morons.
What they are saying is "we don't care if you are seperate businesses, if you have the same name we will tax you anyway"???????
What kind of nonsense is this? What if I licensed the "brand name" of a brick and morter for my e-biz? Now they have to pay taxes on my sales? Damn STUPID money grubbing "public severents"......
I understand how it works......

If you look on the web site of the manufacturer you can find this picture where it is clear that those things on the side of the sphere are combination propeller/stearing vane modules.
BTW does anyone else think that the picture on their front page makes the thing look like the Death Star (tm):)

So you only have to disclose the break in if you don't have the ablity to investigate it and find out how to stop it from happening again?
So if you can prevent it from happening again you don't have to tell other people how to protect themselves. But if you can't protect yourself you have to tell the hacker that you don't know how to track them down and they should be sure and hack you again.
Why is it that when people go into politics they suddenly become stupid?
who is fooling who here? None of the OSes (only Windows versions) it works with are certified for TOP SECRET data.... guess its pretty useless till someone does the linux port eh?:)
Both have commercials. All of Sirius' music is commerical free, the other 40 channels have commercials. Maybe 1/2 of XM's music channels have commercials, but depending on what you listen to you might never notice it. If you like classic/alternative rock (Top Tracks, Deep Tracks, Fred, Ethel, The Loft) you never hear commercials. Same goes for Jazz and Classical, of which only 1 out of 10 channels has commercials.
Now if you listen to Top 20, KISS, The Heart, MTV radio, VH1 radio.... well then you get commercials..
as far as ClearChannel's investment leading to dull boring content.... ok I'll admit on XM you get NASCAR while Sirius gives you three different channels of PBS........ um thats bad right... not that I listen to DNC.. I mean public radio any more.... but come on, their commedy channels are so "live and uncut" that they have a form you can submit to turn them off if you dont want your kids to tune them in by mistake:)

Just because there are some horrific software patents out there does not mean all patents are bad.
