There are some pretty unreasonable individuals who want no mention of evolution (but then again, there are some unreasonable individuals who want no mention of religion in public), but the vast majority in my experience are upset with teaching evolution as underniable fact instead of a leading theory to explain how things came about.
From my viewpoint as a Christian, I don't see the idea of evolution incompatible with my beliefs. God created the world and built in a method for self improvement. As a programmer I think that's pretty fucking cool.:D
It does it for certain control panel applets, but not all of them if I remember correctly. But then again, not all of them need administrative access... It doesn't have the granularity or controlability of a similar Linux solution, but you can get it done.
No, the point is those problems aren't the federal government's problems in the first place. They're the problems of state and local governments, if even. Regulating Interstate commerce, however, is the Federal Government's problem.
Actually Windows does do this... When you run an installation program as an unpriveleged user it will say something like "You may need administrator access to install this, would you like to enter the administrator username/password before installation?"
Then you can either enter the password and run the installation priveleged or ignore it and try to install as a normal user.
Bullshit. Open up Printers and Faxes and shift-Right click anywhere in the window, other than on a printer. Choose Run As.. and it will ask if you want Add Printer or Server Properties.
I'm guessing you're using XP because that's not how it works under 2000...:)
But yeah, I have links to run Directory Administration, Computer Manager (God I LOVE that program), and iexplore as admin from my desk. Combinging that w/ a phone and NetMeeting I've cut down my need to leave my desk to deal w/ user problems but about 75-90%.:)
You actually don't have to put 'runas.exe' in your command line... there should be a checkbox for 'Run As a different user' in there... But then again you have to change the domain in that window all the time, n/m...:P
How do you modify the registry without logging out the local user?
runas/user:Administrator@domain regedit.exe
How do you add printers to the machine without logging out the user?
runas/user:Administrator@domain "C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" Click View, Explorer Bar, go to printers control panel, add printer...
Yes, you're right, there are some things you still can't do using runas, but not many. Be creative.
With the exception of the kidnapping part, I fail to remember when any of those other things became the responsibility of the Federal Government--and even then, when they became the venue of the President... And even in the case of the kidnapping, unless they cross state lines it's still not a Federal matter...
I realize CC can do some incredible stuff... Just for the love of God and all that is holy provide me SOME sort of tutorial to get started! I don't mind steep learning curves but this is like scaling a frickin' glass wall!
E.g., the size of the cargo bay was mandated by the military (to hold their satellites),
Minor correction... The size of the shuttle cargo bay was mandated by the US military to hold RUSSIAN satellites...;) The cross-range capability was necessary for the same reason...
There's a big difference between reverse engineering, learning from the assembly and crafting your code vs. reverse engineering and basically using the assembly in your source. Look at his code.
That's funny... I went and downloaded the tarball for shits and giggles and looked at the source... And lo and behold all I see is C... Care to point to which file/function he's using Microsoft assembly in? I don't see it.
No, most people view Microsoft's tact vs. Mac as "embracing and extending". Copy the usable stuff from Mac OS, add their own -- bam, Windows. FOSS doesn't have the "market position", but it certainly is using the tactic.
No, most people who know what they're talking about view embracing and extending as Microsoft taking a public, open protocol/standard and implementing it then adding Microsoft-only extensions so that their implementation is incompatible with existing ones.
There's a big difference with hardware reverse-engineering: I own it. I bought the hardware, it's on my machine, I can break stuff off and sodder connections if I feel like it.
And you could easily setup a video chat between two PCs on your own LAN and test things there.
We're talking about a network framework stored on an MS server somewhere: big difference. I don't own the framework, and if I make changes that fundamentally screw it up, I can have a negative effect on everyone else who uses it. Your analogy is critically flawed.
Then that's the fault of the developer of a framework. When you're providing a service on a hostile network you're supposed to build your software to make sure someone can't just twiddle a few bits and break it.
I took my GRE Saturday and Berkley was one of the schools I checked off to receive my scores... Ahwell, the thief will be long gone before my info gets there...;)
Why not just bid what you are actually willing to spend?
Because what I want out of the auction is the item, not an opportunity to spend as much of my money as possible? Bid sniping wins auctions, which gets the item in my hands, which is supposed to be the entire purpose, right?
Pyonyang's nuclear program started under the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration. Madeline Albright gave N. Korea nuclear material for "electricity generation".
Sixteen electronic computerized sensors embedded in the gun's grip distinguished known from unknown users. "We've only just begun and we're pleased to say that we're getting 90 percent reliability when scanning users," said Sebastian.
Glad to know that a mugger will have a 1/10 chance when facing me down, now.:P
Actually I work for the local government in Lafayette. Our (soon to be replaced) website is here, not (funnily enough) at the Wikipedia. Our new City-Parish President (think mayor) is a very dedicated businessman and is trying to run the local government as such. What's being glossed over is the fact that it's not the local government, per se, doing the rollout of fiber but the local utility company which is technically part of the government but operates as an independent entity. Legally speaking the city government CAN'T roll out telecommunications services; we're not supposed to compete with businesses.
The problem we have is the Parish council in its infinite wisdom gave essentially a monopoly to TCA cable (now Cox Communications) decades back and they (along with the phone company, BellSouth) have prevented any meaningful competition from entering the area. As such towns just an hour or two away (Baton Rouge, for instance) get much higher quality service from Cox and BellSouth while we get the shaft. The President is very tech-friendly (we were shocked when he produced a Blackberry on our first meeting and asked for it to be hooked into Exchange) and is encouraging quite a few technology projects in the city. In addition to LUS's fiber-to-home we're also moving ahead with the "Acadiana Technology Immersion Center", we'll also have our own link to the LambdaRail research backbone through LONI but I can't remember the name of our network segment at the moment and there's a plan in the works to provide parish-wide WiMax internet access from three towers in surrounding towns. So yeah, the local monopolies are upset because they don't want to compete but the argument that "the government can't do it efficiently is" is still valid, since it's not the government doing it.:P
And yet, smokes and booze are already legal, so your logic is inconsistent. By the "addicts will steal if it's legal argument", cigarettes and booze (and caffeine, really) should also be illegal.
Easy solution: Make drugs legal, start enforcing the death penalty on murder cases. Prison populations will drop pretty rapidly.
On one end we're locking people up for a long long time for stupid non-violent crimes that shouldn't even be illegal anyway--someone wants to kill themselves (albeit, slowly) on crank, let them... That's why our prison population is so big.
On the other end, we've got people in prison for life or rotting on death row. Do like Texas did, install an "Express Lane" for convicted murderers and get them out of the system so they stop leeching tax dollars...
The problem is, if he really did take part in these atrocities and did nothing to stop them, then he's just as guilty as anyone else. You can't hide behind the claim of "I was ordered to." It's funny that he evoked the My Lai massacre via reference to Lieutenant Calley, but today we know that massacre was STOPPED by a non-commissioned Navy Officer (Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson) saying essentially "Screw orders, this is wrong." He stood to be courtmarshalled for countermanding a higher officer, but he did it anyway. He even ordered his crew to kill the American soldiers involved in the massacre if they didn't stand down. THAT'S heroic. Stop things while you see them, don't take part in them, then come home and fight to stop them from happening in the future. The real problem many of us have is that many of those soldiers he quoted as committing those atrocities turned out never to have been in Vietnam and/or were lying themselves. I'm not saying there were no war crimes committed in Vietnam, I'm just saying John Kerry was one of the people instrumental in making ALL American soldiers look like war criminals.
A college degree certainly makes you "better than the other guy". It makes you more than just a pulse. It usually involves some non-trivial effort, possibly in the relevant problem domain.
But how does it make you entitled to anything? And I don't know, I've seen my fair share of BS Degrees... And I don't mean Bachelor of Science...
Ehhh even not living with your parents you can live pretty well at college if you're smart about it. Move to the state you plan on attending college at six months in advance, get a job and earn residency. That'll cut the tuition at most state institutions down to 1/4. I've been living fine on my own the past three years, and if my broke ass can do it anyone can.
And I think your "con an employer" statement explains more about what's wrong with you than anything else. He didn't con anyone, he convinced his employer he was a good investment.
I'm sorry, but no college degree makes you deserve anything but a job interview, and probably not even that in most place. Saying "I spent $100k, I deserve better!" is a load of tripe. Meanwhile I'll walk in, make a good impression, and hold out for $30-$35k and a good benefits package and work my way up from there.
Failing all else, if a college degree makes you so much damn better than the other guy, start your own business and pay yourself what you think you're worth.

Well, my IE runas link is a catchall. I use it not just for things like printers but also to browse the network as admin etc. :)
Computer Management doesn't have a printers control panel... At least under 2000, that is...
:)
There's also other benefits to having a explorer process running as the domain admin... Like browsing the network and accessing admin-only shares.
Bullshit. Open up Printers and Faxes and shift-Right click anywhere in the window, other than on a printer. Choose Run As.. and it will ask if you want Add Printer or Server Properties.
