Speak for yourself. When someone denies themselves the chance to turn themselves in and confront their crimes and when police/courts drop the ball, sites like this are a service to society. I'm in no way encouraging vigilantism and neither is this site. Bravo for them.

Seriously, what pisses me off more than anything about the past 10 years of broadband was we were moving towards such a bright future with the ability to choose from dozens of DSL providers in some areas until they stopped upgrading the DSLAMS in my area and we were stuck at 8 Mb/s. I checked recently and the fastest I can get at my new apartment is 1 Mb/s for DSL.
Is it really a choice when the alternative is to spend the rest of your life in a village and hope the communist officials do not come in and take your farm away to build another factory? John Stuart Mill, who wrote extensively on liberty would say no, and so would I.
Yeah I saw the NetWorld linkage and actually laughed a little than I realized most of you mates are IT and this level of detail for the mission should be just fine.
More people are killed by 'distracted drivers' than drunk drivers, yet in most of the US it is legal to paint your nails, talk on a cell phone and eat a burrito the size of your head so long as you do not have 2 drinks.
What do you think AMD uses? If they are like Intel they use something very similar to Prime 95 because well last time I checked Intel does use Prime 95.
We need to get our feet wet.

Yeah, tell that to the first nation that starts mining the asteroid belt or mars for ore. You could do it with all robots but you still can't repair and maintain them, so someone is going to be out there.
Some of those people on those scooters have reaped what they have sown with 20-30 years of smoking cigarettes, crack and meth while the one's with congenital problems sometimes have to wait a half hour on a bench in the front of the store for one of those fat/meth-addled pieces of trash to gather their 200 dollars worth of food stamps that month. What I have a problem with is some of these people on Medicaid who have spent their entire adult lives smoking crack having millions of dollars of health care thrown at them when the US won't even pay for a fucking pap smear for a straight A college student.
Same thing in drafting classes, I've TAed enough of them. I love it when someone who is on their way to becoming a civil engineer does not even know the difference between extension and dimension lines and than bitches at me that " it doesn't matter " because everything is CAD now. Well that may well be true with technical drafting in regards to industrial and to a lesser extent mechanical design but civil engineering still requires blueprints by law.
Where the hell did you go that had a 90% drop, so I can remember never to hire someone from that University? The highest drop I have ever seen in 10 years of academia, at least in a CS dept is ~80% and that was when they were already losing their accreditation. Anything beyond 75% is a sign to GTFO before they lose their cred. You do realize that high of a drop rate has nothing to do with the students being dumb but it sure is a sign that the program is dysfunctional, the professors are sadistic/suck or the water is filled with neurotoxins.

That's why these should be immediately installed in every cop badge in the country.
When I was an undergrad I used to eat across the street from the Engineering building at a small Vietnamese restaurant, it was cheap and hot.
One particular late night I came there with a few hours of Hydro HW, sat down and ordered some Pho and started taking my stuff out of my backpack when I heard this inhuman scream and a slap. I thought they were being robbed or something and froze there in terror until I started hearing the crying and "shhhhhh" sounds I remember all too well from a Catholic school upbringing, someone was being beaten in the back and whoever was doing it was trying to stop other people from finding out. I am ashamed to say it but I went outside and smoked a cigarette, ate the Pho and left as quickly as possible. I think I even left a tip. The next week I came in during the day to get something and the woman behind the counter had a fading welt in the shape of a belt across her face and she was smiling.
So, after that shameful moment of realization I went to the Women's Resource Center on campus and told them. Never found out what happened though, that woman's face behind the counter haunts me to this day. Too many of just do nothing when we know the shitty situation those workers find themselves in.
I use Game Copy World, esp on old DRM that requires the CD/DVD to be in the drive all the time. There is simply no reason why we should be tolerating DRM on any media, it would be like requiring a Captain Crunch decoder ring to read a book.
From the first CD Rom game that would not allow me to play without the CD in the drive I have been a game pirate. I remember listening to my mid 1990's grunge bands like Nirvana while playing games and all of the sudden some game I forget which told me I could not do that. So I took it back to the store and never looked back.
Yep Yep, and for me it was the same thing with online advertising. One day online there was a flashing annoying popup ad and I got pissed off, so from that day onward I have run Squid with an ad blocking blacklist as my proxy server and all of computers save my android devices have ad blocking software on them as well.
Funny thing is, I don't mind Steam's DRM because over a period of 4 years I have not been able to play a total of 1 day. Google Text Ads are fine too but what has happened is that even small picture ads piss me off now and the slightest inconvenience in playing a game I bought will make me instantly crack it.
The average child's behavior does have the potential to reliably predict future social and behavior patterns for the individual; however, there are outliers of varying types who would not be well served by this attempt at divining the 'future history' of individual human beings. Here are some of the types I have noticed.
1. Situational issues such as abuse at home that cause anger, frustration and inappropriate behavior at school. Children's brains are luckily plastic enough to rewire themselves when presented with a new environment that is far more nurturing, safe and empowering.
2. Schools/Neighborhoods that have been left to become warrens of crime will produce children that seek criminal behavior to 'fit in', even if they are articulate and attentive in class they may be encountering overwhelming peer pressure to conform to another set of behaviors outside the classroom or face ostracization.
3. Mentally ill children who go unmedicated can be hellions the days they don't take their meds and perfectly reasonable mature human beings when they do. The flip side of this, is dealing with the many popular NT rich kids whose parents have gotten them adderall prescriptions babbling in the back of the classroom and acting hyper aggressive on the playground.
4. Police provoked violence/crimes. I did some student teaching in a High School which shall remain unnamed and the MO of the high school police was to find the 'troublemakers' smoking cigarettes across from the school or in the alleyways surrounding and set up a cop car on one side of them and try to herd them towards it, if they ran they tried to take them down with tackling and submission holds. The kids got suspended and charged with resisting arrest at the very least some got thrown in Juvi all for smoking a cig and being confronted by a dickish bunch of cops.
Jesus Christ, yes. Don't bother trying to roll your own for this sort of setup unless you want to transition to IT as a career. The migraines you will get trying to setup a proxy and a content filter alone will take a good weekend, if you are lucky. I've used ClearOS and before that Clark Connect for years without problems.
No its not, and that is scaring the shit out of the beancounters. You may not use all the free content out there but trust me there are at least 1000:1 free:paid content out there atm even if it is mostly people's blogs about their cat's sleeping habits and free Mp3s from really bad hipster bands. There are still awesome repositories of information for people like arxiv.org and wikipedia.
Maybe for 40+ year olds, which I suppose is most of Japan, sadly. The Japanese I know in their 20's and 30's get all their info from news readers and aggregators like we do and I would imagine the amount of the younger generations who can read/write/speak English might be part of the reason for that, considering that English News Dailies in Japan are still mostly free.
There is a reason why there are so many fees attached to small deposit accounts, they are plentiful and the people behind them have neither the wherewithal or the know how to fight the charges. My millionaire aunt got hit with a 50 dollar fee once and she was talking to the one of the VPs of the bank. Try asking for escalation when you have less than 100 bucks in your account.
10 years of smoking and damnit I'm still alive, dammit I hoped I would skip watching my kids fuck robots. I'm not looking to that Guess who is coming to Dinner homage.

Delude youself all you want but the fact remains a little under 5% of all people who work with children will abuse them.
