Well Fox sure loves showing those bombing shots and shots of missles falling from the y. I hate to break it to you, but those missles aren't carrying puppy dogs and kisses. People in the US often seem to forget that smart weapons kill people too. Our weapons systems are just designed to ensure the users survival(thankfully).
I bet they wouldn't. SCSI is made to last in a high stress enviroment. ATA and SATA are made for desktop usage. There is a definite quality difference. There is also a huge price difference, which is why everyone uses SATA or ATA unless they have to use SCSI.
Are you kidding?
2 cores does not mean 2x the speed. That's like gm saying that they doubled the cylinders on there newest sports car so it is twice as fast. That is completly bogus. Apple is using false benchmarks to sell product.
That being said, most companies do the exact same thing. Wether you are talking about Intel, Microsoft, Toyota or whoever they all use rigged benchmarks in whatever field they are in to make themselves the best.
The child is a minor, the relationship with your brother is were the time is invested. Also, if someone is using your WiFi without your permission is illegal, thus the cost to the person is in the form of risk of getting caught and having some sort of crimanal charge brought against them.
The swingset is due to a relationship you have with that child's parents. It may not have cost the child anything in dollars, but relationships require some amount of energy to maintain. The same goes for your WiFi.
The USPS is owned wholey owned by the US goverment. Therefore anyting that the USPS owns is goverment property. Since the USPS owns the boxes, misuse of said boxes is a misuse of goverment property and that my friend is illegal. The USPS does not need to be a branch of the goverment to make misuse of its goods a federal crime.
PS - If you ever get the urge to rob the postman that is also a federal offense.
In the US you can be executed for treason without having actually killed anyone. Also, while one man can not send our nation to war, he can send us into a police action, order attacks on targets he feels are threats, and other fun things with little or no oversight.
Google Cache is caching content on your computer. They are prefetching likely webpages, such as the second page of the article you are reading, and placing them on a cache on your machine. What will make this an improvement over regular proxies and caches is that google has a huge amount of data to use in predicting what pages you may visit from the page you are currently at and caching all of them on your computer.
The down side is that google now owns your ass. As many others have pointed out between this and other products of theirs that a large majority of surfers use google has everything about you. They may actually beat MS at becoming the Borg and swallowing humanity.
Child molestation is not having sex. A child is not mentally ready or physically ready for sex and seldom consent. Children who have been molested are scarred for life. If you know what you are looking for you can almost pick them out of a crowd.
I should also note that I have known people who have been molested as a child an where later stabbed as an adult and the molestation is what really screwed them up. A stabbing is time in the hospital and maybe death. Molestation is often a life in and out of mental institutions, sometimes death from the trauma of the event(Small children are not physically ready for sex, and some predators have stds)and extreme dificulty trusting others.
The new canon Rebel XT has a.2 second start up, the one it just replaced had a 2 second start up(per Canon's specs). The XT I can speak for from experience. I flick the switch bring it up and shoot.
Can you say "safeharbor provision". If i build a road I'm not responsible for checking to make sure people are not smuggling coke on it. My main concern actually is that the previous poster implied a system admin not going through proper channels and reporting network activty to a non govermental organization without a supeana or prior approval. This person is a liability since they choose to operate indepentently of the command structure.
Unless it is preaproved or a judge has signed a pretty piece of paper saying to do it a sys admin should never give out network activity.
Try the new Canon Rebel. It has.2 second startup. We just got it and I cannot stop taking pictures. I do suggest getting a high end flash card for it though. Whenever I take multiple shots it takes a second for it to clear them all out of buffer and onto the flash. I still have the cheapo lens for it though. We are saving up for one of the macro lenses.
I would definitly fire that person. If not right away then later for a different reason. That person has gone outside the group without sanction and therefore cannot be trusted. I don't want a network admin I can not trust.
I think his point is that if the feds are reading everybodies mail then the only way to ensure privacy is through encryption.
Also just because something is encrypted does not mean it is for nefarious purposes. Online banking is encrypted, many companies use encryption for sensetive matters, hopefully your therapist or attorney uses encreption on any files on you they keep. If the feds are checking all encryption then they are beyond the scope of the constitution and should probably be prevented from doing it.
Saddly, both major parties seem fixated with removing all rights that I hold dear. The PATRIOT act was a bipartisan act, as are most laws that remove individual liberties.
Of course the democrat in me says this is all Bush's fault. OOO he makes me so mad!
That would probably be true if law enforcement wasn't always pushing the envelope. They are however, and usually at the insistance of the citezenry. The author was right in his analogy. The court uses the envelope metaphohor for the internet, but it now allows for dogs to sniff lines of postage anyway. Law enforcement will only need to prove that their software is completly opaque to them unless they get a hit.
Companies using servers for desktops are just asking for trouble. Nothing screws up a system like a user.
I agree for home use. We use our home server to backup my wife's animation projects and as a music server/video player in the living room.
By the way it cost about $500 for everything, and has 2 200gig IDE drives, a cd burner and a gig of memory. So if you really want a cheaper, more flexible server I think intel/athlon are the way to go. I do really envy that 65 watt power supply though,
The biggest hassle isn't the weight. Its all the wires you have to connect. Unless I'm wrong that is still an issue with the mini, and also moving the display.
That is the worst arguement ever. Oh, well like those guys over there were really bad and must have gotten all of their WMD's across the border. That's the real reason we couldn't find any.
Even Bush's inspection teams said their weren't any WMD's. The new company line is that they had the intention to build them at a later date after they got off of sanctions.
Frankly, Saddam was an evil prick and I doubt most people miss him. But lets not forget the thousands and thousands of Iraqis that died and are still dyeing so we could save them from being killed. And I beg of you, let's not judge ourselves in comparison to the worst. America is not N. Korea or Iran or even the PRC, but that doesn't mean our uses of torture are okay. It doesn't mean we should deem the Geneva convention quaint and antiquated. We need to set a high standard for ourselves.
Please don't respnd with "Sometimes you have to do what it takes to get answers." That's bullshit. 1. Torture usually gives faulty and incoherent information. and 2. Yes sometimes it is necessary, but its still wrong. Just because you have to do something doesn't make it right. If torture is that necessary then you can except the consequences, if you aren't ready to except those consequences the maybe torture really isn't that necessary.
And to the end of this rant, the thing I was most upset about the administration for was not invading Iraq, there were enough good reasons to do that. It wasn't for going in with to few troops, war is horrible and people do make mistakes. My big problem with the administration is all of the lies, deceptions, and refusals to admit to the facts of the situation. This adiministration lies nonstop.
Right I'm done. Please do respond back, I will read and post back.

I agree with you that worker's are being exploited here and am a bit worried about this myself. However, most top corparate people work insane hours. The two I know work atleast 70 to 80 hours a week and take one to two weeks off per year. They are of course paid obscene amounts of money for this.
Just wanted to make the point that many of these corprate types may actually just see this as what white collar work is all about. Again referring to the two corprate types I know, they put in those same hours from lower management all the way through. Putting in lots of extra hours was just one of the things they had to do to get ahead.
I should also point out the feel the same about their failed marriages. They have three failed between them, and one is working on another.

Would you care to link to any of that? I did a search(cursory) of the FT website and found nothing on that.
Steam has been cracked, you can get half-life off file-sharing servers with the nocd, interntet crack.

Check the Internet2 website. It says that Warner Bros. is a corprate member. I don't think they had to do anything illicit. They were invited in.

Rather than pay $100 for acrobat on your $900 computer spend $2000 on a mac and do it for free. That is a good idea.
