I'd have to say that interuptions do tend to cause lost time, as does constantly switching between projects (either finishing projects or only doing parts thereof), but changing projects can also raise productivity by getting somebody more interested in a project. I know that when I first start coding on a project I program a lot faster than a couple months into it.
you have no legal obligation to consent to a search w/o probable cause, police generally seem suspicious of people that don't want to be searched, but screw 'em, you'll get your case thrown out for unlawful search if you refuse and they do it anyway...
that's what scares the hell out of me...even if this sat can't get good enough resolution, the next generation will likely be able to find grows the same way that the cops were doing on the ground...after that, why not face recognition, etc...the whole big brother thing just freaks me totally out, who knows what the cia/fbi/etc. could do w/ this type of tech...
It would be another story if the satalites could "see" inside building (ie: infared heat sensor).
Why couldn't these things (or more refined future versions) be used for that? That was my point in the initial post...seems to me it's just one step away...
What about the recent SCOTUS decision about using heat sensors to discover pot grows? theoretically, this could even be used for the exact same thing. This stuff gives me the creeps.
yeah, but it's a good way to narrow down your choices...when I was house-hunting, I used the 'net a fair bit, and my realtor and I went through listings in her computer system to narrow things down...w/o a computer, I think you'd be totally lost, just wasting time looking through listings on paper or visiting every for sale house in the area you're looking in
what about short-leashware or just leashware? same thing, but I've more often heard "she's got you on the short leash" than I've heard "she's got you on the tether"
yeah, but the windoze binaries are always a few days (sometimes a week or more) behind in getting released...

What a prickish comment to make, there is no official language in this country, and cajun french may be his first language (or the first language of many/most of his constituents), and even if it's not, who the hell are you to say he's forgotten where he lives because of it. As GW Bush would say "stop the intolleration!".
Aside from the worm part, that's a damn good idea...could make plenty of money from corporations that use linux and don't know/understand security...McAfee does something similar w/ myasap or whatever the hell they call it now (used to be myCIO).
hell yeah, smit (or smitty) is by far the best admin tool I've ever seen/used for a unix OS. Beats the crap out of linuxconf, etc. hands down. I wouldn't say the hardware was crap, I was always amazed at how well it all worked, and the 3-digit led was a great help if you had the right books to look up the codes in (when it failed to boot, etc.). I found the hardware to be blazing fast compared to x86. I had a huge script that took right around 5 minutes to run on an x86 linux box w/ a 500Mhz cpu that would run in under a minute on an 80Mhz (or 85) RS6000...
IBM does not sell software to any indutry that matters
don't get out much, do you? There's plenty of 'industry' that IBM sells software to, I work w/ a large bank that uses tons of IBM software and hardware, and they don't matter? The last company I worked for was in the business of selling software for police/fire/ems dispatch, and guess what? All of it ran on RS6000's w/ AIX. Can you say they don't matter?
yeah, good point...if cell phones had been around back then, some of us might not be alive today (knowing the way my mom drives w/o talking on a phone, and knowing she has one now, and would've likely then, I surely never would've been concieved)
eek, I had to setup a 3270 connection on a rs/6000 for a missouri police agency to be able to check on warrants...man was that a huge pain in the ass...and what a rediculous system to be using in this day and age...
Check out http://www.coolhomepages.com/, they've got a ton of neat web sites on there, all with thumbnails and in lots of catagories. Yeah, it's only web stuff, and almost all flash, but people have done a lot of nifty things.
Even though I disagree with you on the point of whether or not the publishers have a right to post the material (I say it's free speech, you say it's inciting murder). I do agree that they're not totally innocent. Great thing is, these people likely believe in God (and are probably christian/catholic), so they'll be going to hell to pay for this crime, even if our strange laws do not define this as a crime.
actually, they got him on conspiracy didn't they? It's all well and good to talk about doing things, tell other people they should do things, but the second you and/or they do one action to further the conspiracy (say I buy some ski masks after we talk about robbing a bank), that's when you're gonna be in trouble...thus, if Manson and/or his followers didn't do anything but talk about it, they'd be in the clear.
yeah, it's pretty sick, and so is the crap that the KKK spouts off, but just because I think it's wrong, or you think it's wrong or 99.9% of the nation thinks it's wrong, doesn't mean they don't have a right to free speech.
Doesn't matter what they say, as long as they don't actually do anything, they're free to say it...if you weren't allowed to say/publish something just because somebody didn't like it, that'd mean you don't have feedom of speech - maybe gays, blacks, jews, you etc. wouldn't be allowed to speak out for their causes, and that'd be a shame.
But, I guess the real shame is the fact that there are evil bastards out there that feel the need to publish hate material.
I just hope that now this decision is here, people will realize that their own actions are their own fault and not the fault of those who gave them the idea. Yeah, the idea of that site is sick, the idea of telling people (however covertly or overtly you do it) to kill/hurt/mame others isn't cool, but there's nothing wrong with giving people ideas.
Now if this same logic would just be used by Judges/Jurries hearing cases about Jonny shooting his teacher because Doom made it seem fun to watch people die and shit like that, good would come from this no matter how you look at it.
You do what you want, nobody will ever change that.

they were advocating Whoopass (in a can, of course), as opposed to Coffee...

I didn't say they were doing the same things...just that I think the entire premise of the organisation is discusting...
