Although, let's be honest - I don't understand why people have to dig on towns. I live in Columbus, Ohio. Yes, it's not party central, but I'm not a "party" kind of guy. I enjoy the city for what it is and make a decent living - along with a decent average cost of living.
Just because something sucks for you, doesn't mean everyone in the town is miserable...
We actually had a 21 year old when he graduated high school in my class. Oddly enough, it was probably because of the fact that he drank so much being the reason of him graduating at such a ripe (wow did he stink) age.
You have obviously never been in a "large city" on this "interstate highway" during "rush hour". Huge volumes of traffic, but the latency keeps spiraling out of control.
My IBM thinkpad here takes 16V at 4.5A (max). So, I'd need to buy an adapter that could supply a fairly consistent 16V to my thinkpad. Not to mention that I couldn't just buy a "generic laptop adapter" unless it had a whole bunch of plugs, because most differing laptops take different adapter plugs (models are even different within manufacturers.)
I'm not sure what one of these things would run. However - I can buy a DC-AC inverter for 15$ or so at a truck stop that could not only provide my laptop with power, but power anything else I would want in the car that could take a 120v input. That's the nice thing - it's multi-use.
Next up- mod the phone so that pressing a button illuminates a LED in very close proximity to the camera.
I'm betting it has to be held up a slight bit just to allow the light in (and no, I didn't read the full text of the article, but I did notice whomever was moving it was keeping it above the pad)
VLAN is the word you're looking for. Basically, even a non-routing layer2 switch can be a "managed" switch, and therefore able to split ports up into VLANS.
Then you can get into vlan tagging to get the data upstream on a shared port (I do this at work) to get to the master routing platform. Very very fun stuff.
At the very least though, it keeps network segments seperate (broadcast domain as well). Even though you have tagged the vlan on the same uplink port, they still don't cross data within that port, therefore keeping them seperate.
I've used DVDShrink on my many... ahem.. movies, and I've NEVER seen it drop frames to get the compression to the level it needs to fit a disc to a DVD-R....
So, what's my traffic look like to my company IT boys for my interesting setup? I'm assuming that my secure ssh connection doesn't let anyone know what I'm doing over ssh; that's the point. But yet I have this traffic flowing out of Port 80 to Port 22 somehow, and it's either little tiny bursts when I'm working in bash, or it's a bandwidth hog if I'm using SAMBA or VNC over the connection.
Actually, any decently sized company would have the ability to inspect the packets, either from a sniffer or a local-to-you wireshark type capture. I'm in the networking group for my company, and even though I don't manage the firewall, we do have applications monitoring the network that would see this type of activity, and correctly tag the IP packets as being ssh-type traffic.
The only way we'd probably notice something is if you hit the top 10-20 talkers of web traffic, though. We really don't have the time to go actively looking for people who are breaking our company's policies. We have however turned in logs to HR on people getting GBs of porn though the work connection...
I haven't had to manage a firewall/proxy for a school (or any other organization yet), but where I work I do admin the local LAN/WAN links. This was exactly my thought - why not just inspect all packets flowing through your proxy and search for repeatable information? Then just block as needed.
I was also thinking that a whitelist solution would be an interesting idea as well. ie: Use a pop-up window, having the student "request" access to a apecific site, with reason; this way, you can file the student's ID and reason away in case the site becomes something unwanted by the district etc.
*This would require someone fulltime accepting the requests of the students, especially if it's a larger school than the high school I went to 15 years ago.
I have a slightly damaged left ear, and I hear the high pitched tone there... Of course, you can never get your hearing loss to go to childhood levels, but nowadays I play my drums with earplugs, and I also wear earplugs when I mow the lawn.
Every piece saved for the love of my music... I would go insane if I were to go deaf.
So penetrating this armor and going through "your nuts" as you so succinctly put it is better?
I'd have to guess that bullets that hit any sort of armor that is attached to a human would get stuck or bounce off, just from the skin on a human being imparting some slight energy back after being depressed.
I supported my Father through 2 or 3 of my "hand-me-down" machines (ones I thought would be just good enough for him) and even though the hardware stayed in top shape, it always had some sort of spyware or other nonsense installed that just made me want to cry.
My other siblings asked me recently if I would build a machine for them; I point them to Dell's website. I tell them "First, they can build it cheaper; second, you can call them for support..." I support 700 PCs on a daily basis (as well as network and phone switch, not to mention moves, adds and changes) and really, my idea of a relaxing night is NOT being modem'd in to my dad's PC to fix something.
Maybe the cigarette companies have truly learned how to make secondhand smoke more deadly than smoking the cigarettes themselves; in which case, you better take up smoking before not smoking kills you!!!
(on a side note, I've been smoke free for a little more than a year now... nothing is more freeing than not being slave to that addiction...)
Should quantify what you would call "professional"
A few years back (this is kinda OT BTW) a friend of mine picked his vehicle up at the local AAMCO. Had his transmission rebuilt, new torque converter as well. Looked out at the shop - saw 3 beer cans and a bag of mickey-d's.
Now, I'm one to put down a beer or two while working on my own car, but that was.. weird....
Back on topic, though, anyone with half a brain can rebuild a transmission. Just like taking apart your computer, except with just a few more pieces!:)

Yea, I actually didn't mean that in the way it was typed :) It was more meant as a vent against all of the "my city sucks" posts I seem to see.
You've obviously never been to Cleveland.

It's fun in my city (Columbus, Ohio) - land of people who get pissed at waiting in traffic for 5 minutes!!!
OH NO THE HORROR!
Of course, there are times it gets on my nerves too, but then I think about having a commute in say, Chicago... I hear it's horrible.

HT is not another CPU/core on the die. AMD's X2 and Intel's "Duo" line is 2 PHYSICAL CPUs on a die.
Here's where economies of scale come into play.

I know it's somewhat wasteful, but again, 15$!!!!

My co-worker will not STOP with his unidentified gasses today.
Oh - you mean like burning plastic, not burning ass?
I actually thought about that the instant I hit "submit".
Classic.
But dissecting one part of that totality (i.e. shagging one) may reveal more interesting qualities about them as a whole.

Holy crap, are you serious?

Oh great. Bejeweled with 50GB of FMV.

I was going to mod you up, but yes. HELL YES.

My mother's maiden name? It's "avxQta6TNIwqqKAxqOGHRo6xdZP6bJYyo3BoBRmh".
I'll bet she couldn't WAIT to get married!
On a related note, we must be cousins.
