I posted this earlier, but accidentally as an a/c. Or, do I look for good a/c comments and then post them as my own? I actually don't, and did post this earlier, but you still don't know that for sure. I need to cut back on the pain killers. Anyway...
My uverse router cannot handle more than a few hundred connections before it goes all wonky. Apparently, there isn't enough memory for the connection tracking. Unfortunately, the router does not let me turn off NAT and use it as a straight bridge, allowing me to use a real router. It does offer a mode called DMZPlus which sort-of accomplishes the same thing as bridging, but still uses the router's connection tracking. This all means that participating in torrents and all of the connections related to that use will bring my uverse router to its knees.
Enter the VPN. The beauty here is that all of those connections are handled on the other end of the VPN, freeing the resources of my powerfully weak uverse router. I set up a virtual machine running transmission-daemon and openvpn, firewalled it like crazy, and control it with transmission's wonderful ajax interface. This way, the uverse router deals with just one connection - the VPN. My days of rebooting my router after any torrent use are over.
I grew up in Texas and now live in Missouri (I am also being treated for cancer - not sure which is worse) so I've seen my share of rednecks. By this logic, there should be a Prius Truck. Just perfect for all of the massively ignorant rednecks around here.
However, reverse dns is a completely different beast. Whoever has the ipv4 subnet controls the rdns for that subnet. If an isp is nice, they can delegate smaller subnets of their larger block to individuals, but this is rare.
For some reason, you linked to the article on Kleptocracy. The article for Corporatocracy is here. Personally, I think of the United States as more of an Oligarchy.
Apparently this guy who posted 14 minutes after you. With the exception noted that he did not go back and read TFA, and, apparently, the comments as well.
...MPAA/RIAA lobbyists go to him claiming that they are loosing billions and millions of jobs...
I'm not sure what you are saying here. Are they letting loose (loosing) billions and millions of jobs to people so that they can finally be employed, or is their industry losing jobs and creating more unemployment?
This new Firefox beta loads in just under 2 seconds on my 2007 Macbook Pro w/ Intel X25M 160GB SSD running latest OS X. But, Safari loads in under one second. Chrome loads just as fast as Safari. So, unfortunately, Firefox is still the slowest choice for me. I have no idea how javascript performs compared to Chrome (not even going to compare it to Safari).
If a person is not technically inclined, programming is the last thing they should practice. Much like a dyslexic should not get a job as a proof reader, or a mathematically challenged individual should stay away from physics.
Also, as another post stated, the technologies listed (web design, database, scripting) are not true programming.
I got busted by a red light camera a few weeks ago.
I received a letter in the mail showing two photos of my car. The first showed my car approaching the red light. The second showed my care turning right at the red light. Of course, I assumed that I had come to a complete stop at the red prior to turning right. I was all ready to fight the ticket on grounds that the two photos did not prove the city's case.
However, reading the entire contents of the letter led me to an http link where I could see the 'complete evidence' available to the city. Sure enough, I go to the provided website, enter a string of letters/digits and I am presented with a video showing my car rolling through the light without stopping.
I had no idea that they were capturing motion video as well as still pictures. Nevertheless, I was bummed.
But, even then, my wife, who is an attorney here in St. Louis, advised me against paying the ticket. It turns out that the ticket is issued by a 3rd party that operates the cameras, and not by the city police. There will be no impact on my driving record. The worst that can happen is it will be turned over to collections and placed on my credit report. At that time, I will simply hand it over to my wife and she will challenge the reporting agencies to provide proof that it was me driving the car, and that the debt is mine. Being unable to do that, they will be forced to drop it from my credit report.
Sometimes it is helpful to have a wife that specializes in US Bankruptcy law.
The first thing you should learn is how to build a solid regulated power supply. First of all, it is a relatively easy task. Secondly, for all future projects, you will need a good power supply anyway. And, finally, whatever resource you use to learn from will undoubtedly lead you on to your next project.
I saw three of their ads on the site. The first discussed the total number of porn web pages on the internet. The second described how old a child would be if it were to look at every porn image on the internet. The third showed how many children in the US have been exposed to internet porn.
Regarding the first ad, a stack of only 15 miles if each page were printed? I'd like to see the technology they use to print video. I believe that my personal collection would more than double that stack. Granted, there are certain frames in any given video that are not pornographic, but who looks at those:)
The ad showing the child morph in to an old man while watching porn, one image for every 10 minutes, informs us the he'd be 485.227 years old when done! This is indeed a problem that must be addressed. The obvious solution is to spend one year training the child to interpret images in rapid succession in order to allow him to watch one image every second. That would let him succeed in his mission in a mere 9.74 months.
Finally, take a look at the picture of the kid on the ad for the number of children exposed to internet porn. I've never seen such a happy, inquisitive looking child. Great picture. Makes me feel like we are all doing something right.
"Electrons and protons don't have trouble attracting," Widom told New Scientist, and he says the explanation conforms to the Standard Model of particle physics. He speculates that this theory could explain instances of exploding laptop batteries, and could be harnessed as an energy source â" something Larsen's company hopes to commercialise.
Imagine, having your home powered by exploding laptop batteries! Thank you Mr. Larsen!
Up to 300 years includes 1 day. Since there is no minimum given, it is a semantically void promise. The only thing guaranteed is that your data will not last 300 or more years.
It is like the "Save up to 50% and more" sales. What does that really mean?
Sure, it won't show up until January... regardless, my wife will absolutely love it. As well, where we live January and February are the really cold months.
The judge that signed this order is the same judge that presided over the Microsoft anti-trust trial after Thomas Penfield Jackson was removed from the case. She has apparently now become presiding judge over FISC. She certainly gets around.

Are you sure she wasn't just designed in Cupertino, California, USA... but made by Foxconn in China?

This should help clarify

I was surprised to find that there was no article for Santology in wikipedia!

According to the bbc article:
Larrikin Music, which is owned by London's Music Sales Group, bought the rights to the classic folk song in 1990, following Sinclair's death in 1988.

People today want to follow those who make sense with their rule, not declare they are sent by God, or "chosen".
Apparently, you do not live in midwestern US, or do not live in a red state. Religious fundamentalism is alive and well. And, people are indeed sheep.
Either that, or you are a young idealist that hasn't been smacked in the face by the cold hard reality of ubiquitous stupidity.
Hangovers make me sour and cynical.
I'm @ the pub on a mobile, so no links...
The 3rd party company lobbied the city to allow them to put up the cameras. The city is paying nothing, and getting very little.
The policemen who live in my neighborhood are very much against the cameras.
I'm up at darts soon, so have to make it short - I'm sure google will bring up something

I'm sure the poster would have chosen DC had it been an option. AC was the closest possibility.
cp80.org opened my eyes to a startling truth:
There is not nearly enough porn on the internet.

I agree in principle, but...
most anyone that has to:
a) Go to work
b) Check email on the way
c) Shave
d) Satisfy caffeine addiction
is most likely living in a region that does have an aviation authority.
Thanks, you just made me order one.
Sure, it won't show up until January... regardless, my wife will absolutely love it. As well, where we live January and February are the really cold months.
I'm not a big fan of xmas anyway.
