Actualy that's kind of a bogus arguement because what the article is really talking about is Off The Self equipment and software; the stuff that anyone can buy. The net result would be we wouldn't have to worry about an enemy stealing our secret weapons, they'd just buy them the same place we do, at Guns-R-Us, an equal oppertunity weapons dealership!
That's the first step, next we'll take three cameras and set them up to autoamticaly bracket. That really doesn't work that well because there will be situations that are still outside the brackets range so let's substitute cameras that auto-expose instead but put narrower lens on them then splice the sub-pictures back into the complete picture, that's what I'd think of when they say a bug's-eye, imagine an array of 128X128 cameras taking one picture; very little would ever fall outisde the setups dynamic range.
Well the purpose of a SMTP server is to recieve Email so sending Email to an SMTP server isn't automaticaly tresspass; however when you falsify Email Headers i.e. disguise the origin it implies that you not only know that the permission to use that server has been withdrawn from you but that you have taken active measures to circumvent the consequence of the withdrawl of that permission. There is a body of law and tradition that draws a fairly clear line between what is SPAM and what is not, An Email that is soliciting business from me when I have had no business relationship with before, that has forged or specificaly missleading header information is spam; Aunt Millie's send an Angel's Blessing to 10 friends E-chain-mail is just annoying but not tresspass.
Pregnacy no longers forces kids out of high school, that hasn't happened for a couple of decades, sometimes it moves the student into an adult-ed sitsuation rather than traditional high school; and ADC, WIC and other programs pretty much take care of finacial problems encounters. You might be surprised at how many single high school moms have ended up going through college taxpayer paid and in a career field selected with prfessional help that not only well paid, but provides stable employement.
there is literally not enough dollars for everyone to live on There are plenty of dollars to live on, we can create and destroy them at will, they come in three kinds, M1, M2 and M3. M1 is the most common its coins, currency and checkable deposits. M1 is also the most volitile, when you write a check at the store, you've created dollars, for the amount of the check until the check is paid. There are places in Alaska that typically have too few federal reserve notes to function as currency so checks are traded just like more traditional money.
Actualy if there were too few dollars, it simply would increase the demand for those dollars, and of course increased demand in response to scarcity, results in increased value. If money became too valuable to spend, then they would simply start to barter more for goods and services. The bottom line is money is worthless, you can't eat it, it will not keep you warm or anything important, as soon as you can no longer use it to get things that will keep you fed or warm, it'll just be some thing to start your fire with.
The difference is when I put a mail box out on the curb, it's purpose is to be a recepticle for stamped or paid for Mail, it is illegal to put anything except stamped or paid mail into it. It is my beief that the mail box that I purchase becomes the property of the post office when I palce it on the curb, and if it's not outright postal property, it comes under their jurisdiction. When the postal carrier places unwanted but paid for mail into "my" mail box, it's not tresspass becuase 1 that's what the mail box is for and 2 I have to actively move the mail to my posession.
My email server on the other hand does not belong to the post office but belong to me, and using my server w/o permission is tresspass and you can only shoot people for tresspass in Texas and after dark.
trespass definition - trespass is the entry to another's property(property definition - is the right to use, enjoy, or possess a determinate thing) without right or permission Therfore placeing an Email on my server is using my server, and using my server w/o permission is tresspass. Any questions?
That's like so totally Mid '60s cool dude, now that the kids are wearing bell-bottoms again I was wondering when the hard-core anti-advertising/establishmentarism would start to kick-in. All we need now is a modern replay of the Nixon/Humphery election.
I just keep a postit with a couple of legal references on the wall and when they call and get to the human spiel, I go off on them. When You got them convinced that your going to start swearing at them, instead you demand the address of their legal dept. Invariable they have an automated dialer which says "Please Hold for an Important Meassage" and thereby violate the federal anti-junk fax law, so telling the poor sap on the end of the line that your actually going to sue them for $500.00, gets you on the do not call list for keeps.
47 U.S.C. Section 227. Restrictions on Use of Telephone Equipment... (b) Restrictions on Use of Automated Telephone Equipment (1) Prohibitions. It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States -... (B) to initiate any telephone call to any residential telephone line using an artificial or prerecorded voice to deliver a message without the prior express consent of the called party, unless the call is initiated for emergency purposes or is exempted by rule or order by the Commission under paragraph (2)(B);... (3) Private Right of Action. A person or entity may, if otherwise permitted by the laws or rules of court of a State, bring in an appropriate court of that State - (A) an action based on a violation of this subsection or the regulations prescribed under this subsection to enjoin such violation, (B) an action to recover for actual monetary loss from such a violation, or to receive $500 in damages for each such violation, whichever is greater, or (C) both such actions. If the court finds that the defendant willfully or knowingly violated this subsection or the regulations prescribed under this subsection, the court may, in its discretion, increase the amount of the award to an amount equal to not more than 3 times the amount available under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph.
OBTW it's a junk fax law, sending "messages" to machines "capable" of recieving faxes is illegal, even if it's an email sent to a computer with a never-used fax-moden card! All you really need to do is file a claim in your state's small caims court, it's designed into the federal law that way on purpose.
When a normal, rational, ethical and moral person's thought process gets to the to avoid retaliation part, we tend to reconsider the prudence of engaging in the activity we are thinking about, The Sociopathic personality tends to think about ways of increasing the avoidence punishment. Unfortunately I guess we now have a clue as to Judge Wolf's basic thought processes, it's not normal and even worse it's not sociopathic, she's actually like Nixon, a pragmatist who'll allway argue the ends justify the means.
I'm sure that even in Texas you can't walk into the town saloon and shoot somebody in face and say in your defense, "Well y'all see the varmit was on my property lastweek without permission, and it took me a while to track his yellow-bellied ass down". You'd actually have to shoot them on our property, very probablly in a location unitended for public access, and probably hope he didn't crawl off your property before the police got there.
So in Texas you'd need to shoot'em while the email was till downloading to be legal but of course IANAL, you should talk to yours before trying it..
First of all, the guys in the article don't really know what they are talking about, there is really two problems, the first and most hazzardous is the "in your face event" that doesn't give enough time for the official warning to be desimated, all you need here is a detector that seperates out a wave at low enough frequency and high enough amplitude to issue an warning that's basically "run for high ground and don't look back". For everything else the official channels have enough instruments and computation power to issue alerts and warnnings if the people and governmental agencies would just listen to them.
For actually science value, the computers would really need to give their location and have accurate time, so a GPS would really be needed. In seismology exact arrival times wave phase are often more informative than any other info because intersting geological formation subtily effect wave speed.
Actualy it would be much easier to just diseminate false data, let's say we generate an 11.5 earthquake signiture, adjust arival times to be consistant with arrivial times from the Yellowstone caldera valcano for each station and hack enough of the code to inject the false data into the system; they'd think the end of the world just happened which is pretty much what would happen if yellowstone went off!
I don't think all earthquakes cause tsunamis A quick look at IRIS will confirm that, out of 334 earthquakes in the last 30 days, 6 had tsunami potential and there were no reported tsunami. I was quite interested in tsunami after the boxing day quake, and was preparing to help an open source project that fizzeled. The reality is there are enough siesmometers to analyse all ready, what's need is several fold, one problem is geopolitical, many countries ignored the established warning systems because they were run by american or seen as run by americans. Another problem is in many areas, there is either noway or it's difficult to get a warning from the emergency management center to the people fast enough or even at all in many parts of the world. If the Cascadia fault ruptured, there would be no way the people on our own west coast could be warned in time; imagine the problem in Indonesia's jungles islands. and lastly there is what I call the "jaws syndrome" the locals just don't want to scare the tourists.
What I think is needed is a mesh network type of system where the warnings could be routed through multiple means even down to a radio system like the weather warning radios we can get. Remote villages near the coast could get one of these radios with solar cell recharged bateries, then use their own system localy.
Five years after 9/11 you'd think we would have made more progress in developing our own energy, or finding alternative fuels to use. Actually in the news today locally, there was a peacefull union picket line outside the construction site of our new ethanol plant and nationally, they just found 3-15 billion barrels of oil in the gulf of mexico. The effective ballance of power in many nations has just shifted and if you belive in global warming, I'd start looking at mountain property in alaska or antartica for your next home.
Chevron and its partners have successfully extracted oil from a test well in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, an achievement that could be the biggest breakthrough in domestic oil supplies since the opening of the Alaskan pipeline. Major U.S. oil source is tapped
we all know they could have waited until after the mid-term elections to make the announcent
For the most part we're past the age when simple repeaters work in places where Barney Fife isn't deputy. Digital spread-spectrum and encryption make things a lot more interesting nowadays.
I figure that this is going to be necessary before too long; right now we moving toward service and knowledge based economies, and we're really outnumbered by a lot of people in third-world countries. My industry, a high skill, high labor industry is being decimated by people in Mexico willing to work for 25 cents an hour who in turn are being decimated by Chinese willing to work for 10 cents an hour. The only way that I or the Mexicans are going to survive the onslought is by staying highly educated and nimble and waiting until the knowlege of how to finesse the latest and greatest technology filters down to the community college course level is going to mean we missed the wave of oppertunity. In addition we've all seen enough technological miss-fires to be leary of putting out a lot of out-of-pocket expenses and time on something that turns out to be mainly marketing hype. There is a big attraction to have the course work online at little or no cost for the general public to partake of as they will ( sort of in the style of adult-ed), then after they've passed the course, and the technology has proven itself viable in the market-place, convert the course into a degree or certificate.
The voices said that you were wrong and they wouldn't talk to you. There is no way you could ever figure out the secrets on your own so you're just plain screwed unless the voices change their minds, but that wouldn't happen because they only talk to me!
Someone should define what they mean when they say OSS software what difference does it make which liciense they use
The commission encourages the creation of incentives to promote the development of open-source and open-content projects at universities and colleges across the United States,...
So if I write a VB script to average student grades and release to other instructors via a GPL it's going to hurt Microsoft? If I'm running Apache, PHP, MySQL and Moodle on single windows server when I have a site liciense for Ms SQL server and IIS it's going to hurt windows? If Microsoft wants to use the code I wrote, let them come to me or my university and negotiate a license. Microsoft is afraid that the universities are going to take back their students and stop being unthinking extensions of Microsoft marketing, and get another generation hooked on colaborative developement of open source projects like back in the unix days.
It's how the porn sites on the internet stay in business by making people pay for their porn rather than trading it for free; also the perverts use it to keep the cops from seeing the child-pornography they are trading. Record and Movie companies seem to like it, but a lot of their stuff is close to porn anyways!
This works for all women from bible-thumpers to soccer-moms to ultra extreme femi-nazi's.
Nothing, but at least at a private libary it's customary for them to make sure you understand that you are not purchasing an item from the collection when your paying for the privelage of looking.
