More like spineless principal and above. Teachers can't even get a student kicked out of school let alone their classroom when the student HITS them. Parents are allowed to disrupt their classes and yell at the teachers. Teachers are not even allowed to fail students anymore, let alone kick them out.
Blame the no child is left behind and the principals on up in the chain, not the teachers. They may act like they have no spine, because they can't do anything. Granted they should say something, but teachers learn just saying things is worse when they can never back it up, because their "power" is imaginary, and once that illusion is gone, teachers have nothing.
You want teachers to have some responsibility? make it so they can kick kids out of their classroom and school.
What we need is to break the market up, Most people have Cable or DSL, and even in those markets where you have both, they both suck.
In my area, Salt lake City, UT. We have a wireless company that I am seriously considering(and I hate wireless!) and there where once employing fiber through utopia, but that was destroyed by cable/telco (that had many mom/pop DSL providers behind it) But they both are still bound by Qwest for backbone, not as bad because of different last mile, but there needs to be some serious beef to break of the dualopoly(is there such a thing?)
If you are going to use a quote at least tell us who it's from, also here is the whole quote . . .
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." --James D. Nicoll
AVG - I use to have people use this, but it was not protection people, most of them got viruses that AVG couldn't find. Avira - Better than AVG, do custom install, may need to change some options. Avast - Better than AVG, do custom install, may need to change some options. Talking is annoying . . . Winclam(clamAV) - file scanner only, Its ok. Good as a 2nd protection measure. I use (clamav) on my firewall for all FTP/HTTP traffic. Panda Cloud Antivirus - Haven't worked with it much, but I know panda AV has been a solid performer in AV for quite some time.
The best based on experience (and always do well in tests) is either trendmicro or kaspersky. Yes, they cost money, but $20 is well worth it. I feel bad when I fix peoples PC's using their products, and leave them with some free AV in hopes it keeps them clean. At least I suggest they buy one of those two products for better protection.
Yea, it would have been great to have list some of it's properties, hardness, strength, weight, and actual time.
I don't know what the compression and tension strength is to their stone, but I wouldn't want to live in one that wasn't reinforced. Reinforced concrete is whats used for building. Reinforced with steel or iron. Concrete is week with tension, thus you want materials strong in tension, and is thermal compatible. You wont see structures built with out it for a reason. Watch the next time they build a concrete bridge, heck even most driveways have rebar in it.
1. He wasn't going to spam their email servers, he was going to spam the world to smear their name "drag your company name and reputation, through the muddiest waters imaginable".
2. Looks like he wanted a resolution to the problems he was having because he felt they where doing him wrong. A little different than pure extortion. Basically a "You do me right, or I will tell the whole world of how your wrong me"
He started it would cost them millions to undo what he would do to the companies reputation and that he was very mad at them. This may not be as clear cut a case as the summary makes it.
The CIA does this with journalists too. They still work at the NY Times etc. but the CIA sees all their information first and decides what will get printed and what will stay private.
Not disagreeing, but do you have a source for this? I like to make sure facts are correct before I accept it as truth . . . .
I found it interesting that they used netgear products as well. I use to use a lot of netgear, however, the stuff I have used in the last 5 years have been complete and utter crap. Dieing in a year, and the replacements dieing in a year as well. Although, they do have a nice list of supports xyz technologies.
I know their office grade is different than their home/soho stuff but my home network which was built 2-3 years ago had 6 different netgear products now only has 1, replacing them with Dlink. In fact I am replacing a 8 port gig switch, and may be using the Trendnet because of the lower power it has over even all the other lower power.(and cheap)
I think you are missing the point of people voting with their wallets here.
I'm part of the aging gamers, I don't really play online anymore, I play LAN with my friends. So quite simply, if the game doesn't have LAN, it doesn't interest me much. LAN is not obsolete, just some game companies are replace it for a more controlled and income friendly methods.
Single player, eh, 10 hrs of play time isn't worth the time it takes to go to a store and shell out 60 bucks. I can wait till it reaches $35 for both it and the expand. There are plenty of things to keep dads occupied besides the latest and greatest rehashed games.
However, being older and no longer trying to be on the IN crowed, I will do things out of principle.(vote with my wallet) If I want it to have LAN, and it doesn't, screw it, my money goes elswhere (such as an indie game, or taking my kids to the zoo)
While you may not like people saying boycot blizzard, well, this is how the free market should work.
Something i don't quite understand about theses botnets, the numbers are so high I wonder if AV or antimaleware not detect them? Because the size of each botnet are huge!
It makes me wonder if any of my PC"s are part of the bnet, and the AV's just don't detect it. I use game cracks even with games I own so I don't have to deal with CD/DVD's (2 toddlers, nothign is safe) I scan everything with clamAV and at least one other (avast/avg or even trendmicro), but using bittorrent makes it impossible to monitor traffic.
So, would having an up to date AV really protect people?
When ever I use KDE since 3x days I can't help but feel like I am playing a badly designed computer game. You know, the games where every button feels like part of a picture that you can only find by trial an error? You know the games where you find out that some part of the display is actually part of a menu by the manual?
Back in the day Corel had done a nice implementation of a desktop with KDE, seams that was lost until Ubuntu came out. which other distros are now implementing a more simplistic GUI approach. Except KDE tries to make their GUI feel like a computer game interface or a teenager with an identity crises. With none of the base themes having buttons that look and feel like buttons. Clickable things need to stand out as something you can click on, and not everything about the OS needs to be animated.
Not to mention the whole "thats a feature not a bug" attitude. (example: disable password needed under the screen saver options)
And then reading about it's integration with "social networking" makes me cringe. But maybe I am just getting old . . . .
</rant>
So, I use gnome for most of my desktop linux needs, dispite it being behind the curve, and needing many KDE apps and libs.
I have seen way to many people with AVG installed with up to date definitions, and have viruses. I now suggest Avast as a free solution or even better pay for trendmicro or kaspersky.
I lived in sandy for about a while, and my internet was never that, and no one has speeds anywhere near this average. Think the toip tiered price that people have upgraded to is 9mbs. While I live a few miles away, I still have quite a few friends that live in that area. Besides they don't even have utopia in sandy (I should, where I live now, but its expansion has been blocked by Qwest and Comcast). All the wireless is junk.
The only thing could think of is maybe comcast cache/proxy server is grabbing pages that fast. (we have some DNS Hijacking that was mentioned a few months back.
SO he has spent 18 months so far in jail, and will spend more.
Can he sue or get some collection to the damages they have done to him and his name? Isn't he suppose to have a speedy trial, and here he is, spending nearly 2 years in jail for what crime?
I am all for a lunar base for many reasons, not just setting up a lunar base for a telescope, but what about having an array of dishes setup, where the moon would shield all that radio interference that our modern civilization makes?
Not to mention, I would love to see some futuristic mining and space ship building facilities there.
A little bit of a conspiracy, but you do have a point.
Like spector soft CNE/360 or what ever. I have yet to find anything find or remove that. And that is the nastiest spyware program out there keyloging, site tracking, screen shots, logging all communications.
Malwarebytes, Symantic AV, Trendmicro, spybot, ad-aware, clamav, avast, avg, etc. And even many of the tools to help those find it have a very hard time finding anything let alone give you a clean system.
The source code is available. What more would a user need to know that the data is secure?
Besides, they allow you to use source code, and the source still needs to be made available for derivative products. Is it because you can't use the name true crypt if you make changes?
I agree. Firefox got popular because they didn't want the mozilla bloat Now it seams like the bloat people from mozilla came over and took over the firefox port.
Having the awesome bar as a default plug-in sounds like a wonderful idea. If I could code, I'd do it (as well as have default for downloads be to ask,kept the option to disable 3rd party javascripts w/o needing noscript, and infact a way to block various 3rd party objects(flash, pictures, javascript, etc). Maybe call it Phoenix again;)
Nothing like having newer versions getting smaller and faster again.
And this is an example of one of the reason why collecting data is bad. The accuracy of collected data is questionable at best. People can easily be mis profiled.

Quit whining, and complaining, the only way you can make the companies that do this kind of crap, is to not buy their products.
Stop buying the game! And tell them why you are not buying the game.
Tell your friends to do the same and find some other game to entertain yourselves.
Taking nearly 30 years to break even.
Need to have it break even in 8 or less years, with a warranty at least twice as long, and an expected life of 3 times.
But something like this could be in use of water treatment plants, and factories that just burn off excess gases.

Except that prices in the states for sugar are artificially higher to protect out tiny amount of sugar we make, and also the corn growers.
Why do you think things outside the states are made with sugar, yet things inside the states are made with HFCS (High-fructose corn syrup).
Yes, the police have a right to investigate, however, he was arrested, not just questioned.
It's on a medium that was not directed at the air port, like a letter, phone call, or email. It was very evident it was done in earnest.
I just wish the police would stop pestering those who are very evidently not harmful.
