If he's taking a multi-day train trip, it's almost certainly not in the US (may God have mercy on his soul if it is).
I have no idea where the OP is traveling but there are plenty of long distance Amtrak train trips in the US - and a lot of them across scenic routes. I have done Chicago to San Francisco on the California Zephyr and the views of the rockies were stunning. I've also done San Francisco - LA - San Diego which while it was only an single day trip again had stunning views along the way.
I can easily see this sort of thing happening in the US. Imagine a group of olive-skinned young men sitting in a cafeteria
Given things like two imams pulled from plane bound for North Carolina I doubt your hypothetical group wouldn't have to do much more than just sitting around before someone called the cops on them ".. because"
Go dancing, really... As a bonus, you'll socialize and get to hang out with cute chicks, for potentially more interesting physical activity.
And walk there, if possible.
Having mainly done salsa and tango (Argentine, not American), i'd say that compared to Tango you'll probably meet the younger women doing Salsa and that you can find salsa almost anywhere. But nothing beats the Tango's close embrace for really getting to know someone. To quote someone I knew after we came out of a weekend tango workshop:
I've danced with well over 50 women this weekend, and I know the different smells of their perfume and how differently their breasts feel pressed against my chest - but I have no idea what their names were!
After watching their recently acquired film THX 1138, CEO Bob Iger hailed it as a "feel good" movie although the ending had some flaws and promised to turn all Disney parks and resorts into the futuristic "utopia" from the film.
Hmm.. should I be more or less worried if he obsessed with Logan's Run instead?
I hate pennies.. they are evil and need to be banished from the earth. But Americans would scream blue murder if the gubmint tried to take their precious away.
But the funny/bizarre thing is that the US public has already been conditioned to rounding the bill through the use of the give/take-a-penny trays in innumerable stores across the country.
Irony at its finest. It always baffles me that those in favor of banning guns are the very ones that use them. Of course its perfectly alright to have people with guns protecting them, yet it is entirely unacceptable for others to use them to protect themselves and their family.
On the other hand they have clearly shown that gun owners are all not the rational people they keep telling everyone that they are. But given that Bell curves apply to even gun owners, I have never assumed that they were all rational anyway.
A few years ago I was driving on a road somewhere south of Raleigh NC (route 1 somewhere between Raleigh and Southern Pines ) and my jaw dropped when I noticed a short stretch of the road had distances marked in km. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to why this one bit of road in the middle of nowhere was marked that way.
The stupidity of the gun grabbers simply astounds me. They're all the moral panic of the drug war with all the security theater of the Patriot Act, and yet they would likely be against both. "Ooh, but guns are scary! Thank God some kids were murdered so we have a new excuse to bitch about them!"
Your stance is OK as long as you are also OK with the firearms homicide rate in the US being 30 times that of Australia and 60 times that of the UK.
Something needs to be done about the cowboy culture in the US as it is killing you off like a third world nation. I won't say that tighter gun control is all of the solution, but you have to start admitting how fucked up you are before you can even start to solve the problem.
>It's a non-changing lifetime number that you have to hand over to just about every doctor's office receptionist, insurance agent, and offshored credit card phone lackey that you deal with.
No you don't. You only have to hand it over to people when you deal with *gasp* social security and taxation related functions, anyone else has no right to ask for it. Its just that in the US people are so used to handing it over that they do so no matter who asks.
As someone now living in the US, when asked for my SSN I easily get by with saying "Sorry.. I can't remember it" (which is actually the truth, as I have only a vague idea what it is, and when actually I do need it I have to look it up.) and I still get the same level of service.
It was even more amusing watching peoples reactions before I had an SSN when I could honestly say "I don't have one". Even that never caused me a problem.
1. The complaint/lawsuit for restoration of damage to her house? 2. The complaint/lawsuit for the work that was not done (but apparently billed)? 3. The police report/lawsuit detailing the theft of the jewelry?
All of the above are things that should be taken seriously if they actually happened. Complaining on Yelp/Angies List only and not following through in the correct legal channels gives credence to the lawsuit against her.
So WTF is this doing on/. anyway? This just seems like it is here because it's a typical lawsuit but a computer is involved
I can't remember where I saw it, but someone suggested that wherever you see the phrase "the cloud", replace it with "someone else's computer" and see how that changes the context.
Hosting your own data isn't hard to do. What I see as more of an issue is how do you build and host your own Internet? (and ensure that only people you "trust" get access to it).
Years ago I was driving late at night in western Pennsylvania during winter, and was listening to the local AM talkback shows. Someone called up with the serious question of "How long left on the road was roadkill safe to eat?". And the host gave him a serious answer.
Something that concerns me and is not apparent from TFA is that the only evidence that the principal was downloading child porn was the "reports" generated by the eBlaster. Without the actual laptop in to examine, surely this amounts to circumstantial evidence at best. Yes the reports bear further investigation, but why are they being treated as definitive?
...and how much is your time worth to reload Ubuntu and make sure that all the drivers for all the Apple stuff works, or rewrite the drivers which don't work.
Why would you even bother. OS X is *nix on the desktop. In a packages that "Just works".
That was exactly the thought I had. People like to complain that Apple hardware is expensive, but when other companies supply similar hardware in a similar form factor it always ends up costing around the same amount. If was in the market for those systems I'd be buying the Air, unless there was some other compelling reason aside from just hating on Apple.
Now can someone tell me what I saw? All I can see is video of some commands being typed into a command window in a older version of Windows, and lots of graphics (and funky music) saying exploit this and exploit that. How do I know that what they are claiming is what is shown on that video?
Note that I am not doubting that SCADA systems are not secure, the've been my bread and butter for a long long time. I just want cold hard facts., not a presentation that looks like it is a sales pitch aimed at scaring SCADA manufacturers.

It's not like people haven't crashed planes to see what happens and filmed it from all sorts of angles.

Why can't you just check apples web site for your self? Moron?
a sign that BSD is becoming less relevant to modern computing needs
Obligatory remark about how Mac OS X and iOS are BSD and are used by tens of millions of people everyday, blah, blah, blah.
With the obligatory remark about how they never give back to the community.
(Next post please add the link to the source code that Apple releases in order to refute my anti-fanboish trope)
(With any luck we will trap all the anti- and pro- Apple rants in this one thread!)
really? unless you spend some ridiculous amount of money for a nice vacation i get bored pretty quick.
If you can't define your life as being separate from your work, then you should reconsider how you live.
So where are:
1. The complaint/lawsuit for restoration of damage to her house?
2. The complaint/lawsuit for the work that was not done (but apparently billed)?
3. The police report/lawsuit detailing the theft of the jewelry?
All of the above are things that should be taken seriously if they actually happened. Complaining on Yelp/Angies List only and not following through in the correct legal channels gives credence to the lawsuit against her.

The cloud does offer lots of advantages.
I can't remember where I saw it, but someone suggested that wherever you see the phrase "the cloud", replace it with "someone else's computer" and see how that changes the context.
Host your own data. Do not trust the cloud.
Hosting your own data isn't hard to do. What I see as more of an issue is how do you build and host your own Internet? (and ensure that only people you "trust" get access to it).
