Maybe it was too hyped before release, but I was kind of let down when I saw. Maybe it's because George Lucas had such a strong role in the movie. My favorite is still ESB.
I use Yahoo for my stock quotes, to see how low they have sunk. How do I know that it's accurate. Maybe AMD isn't really at $9.22 a share. Maybe I'm really making a profit?
Spent 8 years in the Army. In airborne school that is what they taught us. If your main chute doesn't open you have the rest of your life to pop the reserve. They drove home the point when they dropped dummies from 250 feet up in the air.
I think the newspapers did get hacked. Suddenly the NY Times and La Times which are the most liberal newspapers out there are pushing for a strong defense. Sometimes the NY Times prints an article that says everything should be controlled by the government or something like that just to push their political views.
And would anyone really notice if/.'s stories were intentionally altered? Linux sucks, arrest all the hackers etc.
I'm at least 5 of these. I don't like privacy though. I like to post pictures of myself to various newsgroups and websites. I also have a webcam that's constantly on, even in the shower.
I don't play too many violent games though. The detail isn't quite there yet. Maybe when the Geforce 5 comes out we'll have some decent blood.
this kind of thing always happens. After Columbine movies with people in black trench coats were bad. I forgot what happened after Oklahoma City. In the 80's Ozzy got a lot of flack because supposedely someone killed himself after listening to suicide solution. Iron Maiden used to get labeled as devil worshipper's. Elvis'e hips were evil. The Doors became famous on Ed Sullivan.
I'm 27 and still listen to Ozzy and Iron Maiden. And somehow I'm still alive and don't worship the devil.
I hope you realize that carnivore works the way it does because were dealing with packet switching technology.
Phones are circuit switched so you need to tap each line. The whole point for going to packet switching is to use one line for everything. So doesn't is make sense that any tapping technology will need to scan everything? How else are you going to tap an internet account?
How is putting face recognition systems in an airport taking away your freedom? The government requires ID and certification before they give you a driver's license. Banks like to verify who you are before they give you a loan.
Why is it so bad to make sure were not letting homocidal maniacs on airplanes? Why is so bad for the airlines to protect their $100 million airplanes?
It may very well have prevented it. Some of the terrorists who died were on terrorist watch lists. Chances are very high that their photographs were on file. If they had their faces scanned and the airlines had their check in systems linked to FBI databases to match up the names then 5000 people may not have died.
about face recognition? It performs the same job as a human being, but better. I don't know very many people who can remember 100 faces of people they've only seen photos of.
No matter how many US Marshalls you hire and no matter how much you pay them a computer will be better at face recognition than a human being. Maybe that's why Las Vegas is using that technology.
When the government passes a law that they can wiretap my communications without a search warrant then I'll worry. But then the Supreme Court will probably strike it down.
But if you read the constitution the government can read all of your communications and seize anything they want if a jusdge grants a search warrant.
I wonder what happens when a firefight breaks out at 30,000 feet? How many bullets would it take to puncture the skin, have the air pressure tear it off and for people to be sucked out? Maybe we should start thinking about installing bulletproof seats on airplanes now?
I was watching the news shows todat and the AG mentioned that with current laws it's a lot easier to intercept the communications of a bookie or gambler than a terrorist.
This isn't just about bin laden, but about terrorism in general. There are reports that Navy SEALS are already in Pakistan. bin laden will be dead soon. GWB is talking about wiping out all terrorists. That will take years.
I'm considering going back into the military. I'm already airborne qualified, so a few months to get back in shape and I'll be eligible for Rangers or Special Forces.
I'm also thinking of getting a degree in history and going to work for the CIA. Or learning linux and programming and then getting a job with NSA, CIA or another defense or intelligence related agency.
I may not be able to offer much help now, but would like to be able to do more in the future.
There is a wide gulf between the/. attitude that we should tie the hads of law enforcement and the fact that it's common law dating back hundreds of years that law enforcement should have the power to properly gather evidence to investigate and prevent future crimes.
We value the privacy of our homes, but we also give law enforment the power to search our homes for any evidence of a criminal act.
We value our freedom to travel anywhere at will, but we also have laws to prevent airplanes from falling out of the sky and to keep dangerous drivers of our roads.
Everyone has the right to do anything they want as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone's right to life, liberty or the pursuit of happines. You have the right to privacy and the right for the government to keep out of your private communications. But as the 4th Amendment states, the government has a limited right to infringe on those rights to investigate crimes and protect the rights of all citizens.
Our Constitution is a living document whose meaning changes with the times and new technology. The constitution states how far the government can go to deprive you of certain rights. The idea that you have total privacy and the government has no rights to investigate crimes is a fantasy.
Maybe you didn't hear about the resolution passed by Congress authorizing the president to use all force necesssary. The US is currently mobilizing the full power of it's military.
I spent 8 years in the military I know what it means. Some of the best scientists and engineers in the world spend their workdays coming up with new and better ways to kill people.
"We are already seeing what several newspapers have called "the biggest criminal investigation in history." Sure, a lot of this investigation's energy is being focused on Islamic countries, but it is also going on in Europe and, more than anywhere else, the United States itself. Landlords who have rented to young men with Arab-sounding names are being interrogated. Topless-bar patrons are being asked about conversations they allegedly heard, boasting about upcoming mass destruction. "
Since when has it been wrong to interview witnesses and others who've come in contact with criminals? Maybe we should get rid of law enforcement all together? Maybe if the criminals plead not guilty we should just take their word for it?
Privacy is only in your mind and in your home. When you go out into public and transmit messages on private networks you give up some privacy. You don't own the airplanes, fiber lines, servers, routers or switches. Get used to it.
Run your own fiber lines and buy yaour own hardware. All of your communication runs on equipment owned by others. And they have an interest in protecting it.
If you want privacy in your travels, walk from NYC to LA all you want. But if the airplanes are owned by others they may want to take steps to protect their property and the livews of other passengers.
If you want privacy in email run fiber or copper lines to anyone you email. As long as your communications travel on hardware owned by private companies they will take an interest in protecting their property. A lot of data and phone lines were damaged in the attack.
From what I heard frequency auctions in other countries cover the whole country. In the US a frequency is only for a small area. I'm not 100% sure about this.

Maybe you should have seen it with your own eyes. That smoke and dust sure seemed real.

They actually have quality of writing? I thought they were just an excuse to post comments about something ala zdnet.

But I do go outside my computer room sometimes.
Don't forget about parachutes. Once you exit the aircraft you have the rest of your life to open it.
Is the Sedition Act of 1798 still on the books? How about all the restrictions enacted during the world wars?
Maybe you don't know what you're doing. My NT servers stay up for months.

I work by the citicorp building in Long Island City in NYC. I went outside a few times to see it. It was unbelieveble.
The whole time I thought I was living through a Tom Clancy novel.
From what I heard frequency auctions in other countries cover the whole country. In the US a frequency is only for a small area. I'm not 100% sure about this.
