This is where it is tricky. You see, if the NSA had gotten warrents noone would be able to object on constitional grounds, but could object on procedural grounds.
Add to it the judicial construct of a right to privacy which was begun in Roe v Wade and we have a pretty solid case that the President, without a Congressional declaration of war, can not engage in unsupervised, unchecked, unreported domestic spying.
Sony may not have done anything patently illegal. The EULA does inform the end user that they are making modifications to their system. However this fact is (reportedly) buried in the EULA and there is not any install notification. The fact the program goes so far to hide itself that it reprograms part of the windows core system (and does not implement proper checking which can lead ot deliberate crashing) is definantly unethical.
According to whois, the website is hosted by iPowerWeb. A quick shot over to their website and it seems to still be up with no hiccups. These guys appear to have both the bandwidth and the horsepower to survive a slashdotting so it would seem that something else is wrong with his site.
Or it could be that they just pulled the plug when they got a slashdot referrer;).
For the moment yes we would be. This is only because 1)corn vs sugar cane and 2)it took into account using diesel (not gasoline) to power the tractors. As the move to more green fuels continues, this trend will reverse (think biodesiel tractors growing sugarcane in the south and corn in the west/north).
There is a huge opportunity for politicians to get kickbacks, the public to be happy, the greens to shut up, and the megacorps to make killings so I am confidant this will happen.
Try the Georgia Institue of Technology. The College of Computing has an awesome graphics graduate program. People you should contact are Jarek Rossignac and Greg Turk. Those are the two professors who I am most familar with, but there are more.
Those are the links to each's homepages. From there you can browse out to their works, papers, projects, etc. Feel free to drop them a line.
Ok, the headline should read "Man Arrested While Using Open Wireless Network." He was arrested because he had been sitting in front of a guys house all day in his suv on his computer. Whenever he was approached he would shut his notebook and look suspicious. After a few hours of the nonsense the police were called.
The rest of the article is standard "open wireless is for kiddie porn and a gateway to identity theft" FUD. Of course, most people just use it to download music for free, but the warnings of consequences for the owner of the network are legit. If your network is used in-appropriatly, you ARE responsible.
Turn on encryption, add a password, add mac based filtering, turn off dhcp and you are pretty much set.
What do we, the citizens get from this tax? Any nice services (I really wouldn't mind getting broadband offered in my area[read south south Georgia]), special protections (such as universal data storage), new projects/R&D would all be nice and reasonable outcomes for this tax.
However I live in America, rural America to be precise. The only thing I expect to see is a few dollars less and another thing to bitch about.
Heat pumps are a form of electric heat. Though they do not make heat from resistence, they do use electricity to produce warm air. Plus heat pump systems have an electric fallover if the temperature drops too low in the winter. I believe a heat pump system was what the GP was referring to when he made his comment defending electric heat.
Oh wow. I remeber when I was 6 or 7 living in rural Georgia ordering these on VHS tape in the scholastic magazines we got at school. I still have about 6 or 7 of those tapes.
Too bad now when I watch them it is painful animation, dialog, and situation comedy;)
We can already watch, archive, and rewatch these shows for free under the current advertisment system. It is should not be hard to extend the current streaming media systems to include advertisment tracking for per view ads like on normal television. The costs for setting up and running a webcast are signifigantly smaller than setting up and running a broadcast system.
So then why are networks going absofuckinglutely apeshit over the thought of an ip based telecast (ie streaming video). It has many benifits over the current system, with fewer drawbacks, and has no new drawbacks.
What makes a good SDK is decent documentation and design. What makes an excellent SDK is well though out designs and very detailed documentation. Code examples, comments, descriptions of functions functions, parameters, and return values.
Sun has done a wonderful job with java and documentation. The only thing that I would like to see added to it would be links to items that reference each function/object.
A project that has done an awful job at documentation and design is Squeak. There is little documentation and almost every function imaginable is in the Object superclass.
The easiest way would be to just check links in posted stories for the past 3 weeks. If the URL's match there is almost no way it can not be a dupe. If you want to get more complex you can create a hash based on verbs and proper nouns. (For example acquire Mandrake and Connectiva) Based on how your algorithim works you can find other near misses. It isn't THAT hard to write (requires a little though, head to a library they have plenty of papers on the subject with sample implementations).
My only experience with Fedora came in the form of FC2. It was the closest thing to Linux ME I have ever seen.
The problem Red Hat has had is not that Fedora is slow on the bleeding edge, but the group seems to be ignoring user request for simple feature fixes [citing a 6 month release schedule]. On the other hand by distancing themselves form free (as in beer) distros, RH has begun making money and gaining mindshare in the business world. RH can loose all they want in the desktop end, but as long as they keep the workstaion/support contract end alive and well they will continue to make money.
1) Homosexuality only disrupts the nuclear family when said family or society deems it necessary to harm homosexuals. Many children are thorwn out of their homes for being gay without a second glance. In several states it is illegal for homosexuals to even try and have a family via adoption or fostering.
2) Homosexuality is not a vector for disease spread. The vector is massive ammounts of sexual activity without proper precautions (such as condoms, limiting partners [to a perferred one], and plain ignorance). I will not say that there are not a large number of sexually over active individuals and I will not condone actions which are well known to be stupid and dangerous, but just because a large portion of a population engages in a dangerous activity is no reason to attack this population en masse. There are no laws preventing smokers from adopting children or raising children they alreayd have, but there are similar rules against gays. While it is known that being around smoke and smoking is dangerous to your health and to the child's health, being around gays is not dangerous to the child or to the homosexual.
No I didn't vote for him, but I had decided that I would give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he wanted to do with his next term in office. I call it optimism.
I wasn't trying to have an argument for my right to marry. I was simply saying that Bush has run a campaign that included disparaging me and my family. I do not think this is fair nor should it be tolerated by society at large. Instead of taking his win and shutting his mouth he is continuing with the same tactics which constitute bullshit.
He is still trying to "protect the scanticty of marriage". I still find it disgusting that people buy into this bullshit. It would seem that most voters think a leadership who undermines and attacks a segment of the population is a legitamate and compassionate leader.
I had decided before to give him a pass on last time and see if he had learned anything since the election. Unfortunatly I was wrong. Bush may have a new suit and a few more fans, but it is still the same brain damaged monkey running around and throwing shit.

I get to play a pissed off kid who gets to go ape at his school? Man this sounds better than my 36 hours of Punisher. (See Journal)

I am sure if Mitzi Del Bra said that to me as I drove home for work I would give myself a nice shower.

How everything will work in the actual patient...
This HIV study was a 40 patient clinical trial. Pretty damn close to actual patients if you ask me.
