I agree with you that the current TSA system is not the best, but it beats the alternative (i.e., letting everyone on an airplane without any checks).
The alternative was the screening in place pre 911, which was not "letting everyone on an airplane without any checks". They checked for explosives on random people, they had everyone go through metal detectors and might esculate to the wand. They allowed secure private checked in bags, and they looked through carry ons. But I strongly disagree with you, in that I would rather have no screening than what we have now.
However, I am ok with non invasive screening that do not get personal, can cause health issues, or collect data. This sounds like one, just like the metal detectors (unlike the naked body scanners, or the xrays)
Sure, I foresee false positives, and if they have a proper path of escalation to cause the least discomfort to the travelers all will be fine. But this is the Government, it will involve what can only be called punishment.
Remember, our tides come from our satellite (luna), and it doesn't exert enough force on us to mess up the Earth's core (just move our oceans around a bit)
Actually I believe our moon is highly responsible for earth still having a molten core, and a good strong protective magnetic field with it.
You are both wrong! And yet both right. The answer is to hang all politicians.
They both(R's and D's) want big gov, they both play the scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, they both have vested interests they serve rather than the people. Sure they have some differences but the money always goes to them and their friends.
Politicians are like lawyers, while they are scum you want the scummiest ones working for you. So the highest paid ones are the scummiest. They also create more need for themselves. Their hands have been where they don't belong so long, they think it belongs there. You want change, stop voting R/D, this will show R/D we no longer will tolerate their games.
There is worlds of differences between doing corporate exchange uses and email as an ISP. Exchange for ISP is stupid. Mail is the simplest of functions, and is only a portion of what exchange is. Exchange shouldn't be called a mail server, but rather a corporate communication and collaboration server. Back in 97-2000 exchanged suck, now it can scale, and has a feature set that any of the other solutions do not provide.
I want there to be one, I check every few years, and nothing has passed enough to take it as far as testing performance, or even looking at the cost. Granted I haven't looked this year or the year before. There always something that's almost there, but is missing enough large pieces we can not use it. I'm glad small companies and ISP's can use those packages, and wish I could too.
I would think RedHat, SUSE, or Ubuntu would make an Exchange replacement that only the person who installed it would know its not exchange. And that includes fooling the people who manage it.
14 tabs, is that all? Let me give you a hint, I don't use bookmarks, I use tabs (and session manager).
I could never complain about FF memory issues as I have 100-300 tabs (usually ~120) open, my only beef is that FF is becoming a mini-me of chrome, and I wasn't using chrome for a reason. Although chrome had nice multithreaded features like its own task manager to see what web page is eating all the resources, and an easy way to kill that page.
Also strange, it was just looking at stats yesterday and I was quite happy to see nothing above 50%. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
Its like having your parents co-sign on your first car purchase. You pay it, but if you don't, then they go after your parents.
Its only an issue when the companies fail to pay it, and that's when the government should take over to fix the situation and look at the leaders of the company to find fault in them.
That is a very good idea, and leads to many others. But then they do have sealants that you put on windows that do the same things, although I would like to see if it is better and how much better, and of course, how long does it last?
I worked for a company (prosper) for a very short while who made several millionaires doing just this, they have about 200-400 websites up at any one time, they sign deals with "talking heads" (like john cummuta) and rake in millions.
It's disgusting how doing nothing but scamming people can net them more money in a few years than I'll see in a life time. They don't know how to do anything but talk and chase money.
And worse yet, if they do make a mistake, they are untouchable, their company is several layers of LLC's or corporations, and the arm that seen to have any responsibility just gets renamed, while the others hold the little assets.
Because what they are allowed to do is bad enough.
Every chance we get to make TSA look bad, we should. Every chance we get to cut their funding we should. Every chance we get to limit their scope and power we should take.
The current environment is absolutely disgusting, there is enough people willing to throw away their rights, that I don't have a chance in hell to even keep mine.
Should there ever be an organized protest in SLC area against T.S.A., I would participate. Hell I even voted for a <a href="http://chaffetz.house.gov/">bastard</a> who did his own protesting against TSA, yet hasn't done a thing to remove them. Even doing little things like passing comics bringing to light the vileness of TSA brings comments from people "well they are all mostly good and protect us from bad guys".
So every chance we get to show them for the vile villains they are, run with it. It makes news, and news (along with campaign bribes) is what drives politicians.
I re-installed windows on my gaming rig and tried out windows 7, I'll switch back, please don't ban me from the net!
Serious though, I just installed 7 on my gaming rig(was XP) a few days and even earlier today as I surfed the net to download 64bit drivers/apps was realizing this would show up on peoples pages (and the fact I'm using FF 5.x rather than 3.x)
Blizzard has stated that D3 will be the same as SC2, requiring Battle.net accounts for single play as well. CLaiming its for the added features, but we all know its to destroy used game sales. I own 2 copies of their games, most of my friends own their games, until SC2.
As far as Lan I agree, even steam witch lets you play LAN, requires steam accounts for each username, so people sharing have to share account names (you want to be yelling at the right person right?) So you have to crack the game. Not to mention, how do we introduce people to the game if they can't play it till after they bought it . . . Cracks again. So once cracked because it is nesasary, why do people want to buy the game they cant use?
It seams I can only buy games from id and Stardock(and the games they publish). Everyone else see's LAN as "obsolete". . . How the hell can 1GB network and real life interaction with team mates is obsolete I don't know,
It's a shame there isn't a good replacement for Diablo 2 like games. Sacred, which makes 2nd top of that type of game, is a clone of Diablo 1( it's multiplayer mechanics and is broken), with all it's faults multiplied, not adding anything more than pretty 3dish pictures,
Since I put a lot of effort in gathering LAN friendly games and ways to make them such, maybe I should create a website dedicated to this . . . . In hopes that some companies renew LAN play in their games.

I am not sure if you are just trolling or misguided.
First kill != murder, There are plenty of ways to kill life w/o it being murder. You kill flowers by picking them. pantyshot == pornography. Granted, not Hardcore, and not X, heck PG13 by some peoples standards. Also, as pantyshot/upskirt can imply the target being an unwilling model . . . .
Now, to kill a process does make sense in its own scope, so it can't be seen as easily offensives that way. How does project pantyshot or upskirt make sense? Maybe I am jaded because I am a perverted old man, but those are have some pretty strong single purpose meanings where the only possible variation is if the person was willing.
Corporation existence is to make money, it doesn't care how. It only cares of public perception causes its bottom line to change. Then these same companies pay billions to make it so there are no other choices but them. I'm not taking research or marketing, but patents, laws/politicians, lawyers, etc.
So how is any of that extreme? Anything less is ineffective and water off a ducks back. Heck nvidia spend over 500m in spare cash allocated for such uses. Big woopie, just a "cost of doing business". But at least there is a choice (bought my first ATI/AMD based graphics card and 2 others, since they pulled this crap) But if you cant switch away, or if enough people can't(or dont) the only thing you are left with is lawsuits.
Extreme is the fact that even thought I paid for my phone, I don't own it, and have to "break it" just to remove crap applications from amazon/skype/facebook/etc that are all allowed to track everything I do, everyplace I go. Extreme is the fact if they lose my information, I don't get compensated in anyway, but the problem is shoveled off as "my identity" was stolen.
And by the same token governments create a need for more government. They will find a need to use such data all the time, and it will be abused, it always has been and always will be.
No, being in control of your life and data about your life is not extreme.
The IT are tasked with providing these resources, and make it secure, stability, and legal.
First off, You are asking to have this open outside, well gee, there are never exploits in apache/mysql/php . . . meaning your one off box is now a backdoor into the IT network that they do not manage. Second, this is IT's jub and duties. And here you are are running unknown software, on a box that is running who knows what. IT need the ability to turn off the machine if it becomes a problem. Granted, they could turn off the switch port. Third, Is what you are doing and requesting even legal? (I dont think the IT person even realizes that it may not be)
You are a dick in building your own server and asking the IT to accomidate you in this. You should have gone to IT and request that a calendar that works on iphone, etc so that your team can share the on call schedule.
Like i said this is potentually not legal and provides an attack avenue into IT's network. Give them what they want, and hope it doesn't bite you or the IT in the ass.
Free people are people who can overthrow a government should it wish it. A tyrannical government is one that makes it impossible for the people to overthrow it.
Multiplayer mode is one of those features that relatively few players use, but almost everyone surveyed say they will use. Go figure.
Its the fact it they treat it as a checkmark, and dont seek to have a good multiplayer. It can't even be counted as multiplayer so no one plays it as such. Baldurs gate and sequels had the multiplayer checkmark and sucked, and neverwinter nights was not much better. And anything that requires Gamespy as a part of it fails in multiplayer.
Now days they are so fixated one MMORPG or some kind of hideous integrated service that bnet is becoming that they all lost what fun multiplayer is. Part of it is because its now mega corp controlling the game industry. So sad, they knew what it was about when they had spawns that let you play with a friend with out buying another copy of the game.
