I was being a smartass but I'd mod your comment interesting if I could as I didn't know this. It seems like there is a niche market here that can't be served due to human stupidity.
They don't let you smoke in a hospital or plane of course. But the sort of injuries I'm talking about they send you down to medical or have a medic give you stitches and you're back to business in 5 or 10 minutes, in the military you have to be very fucked up to end up in the hospital, I guess the exception is if you say cut yourself in a way needing minor medical care right away but doc has gone home for the night. I wasn't talking about heavy injures, stitches or burns, they think I might have broken a finger once and the corpsman didn't even send me to the hospital for that, do you know that in the military they perform minor surgery without the presence of a doctor for things like ingrown toenails and stuff? Basically the military won't function properly if you can't smoke unless you give people something else to do, everyone in the military drinks like 8 pots of coffee a day and half of them smoke a lot. Even most of the military non-smokers are what you would consider occasional smokers having one every week or two and when things are awful you'll see a lot of people who never smoke most of the year taking up the habit for a month or so.
I know smoking is a disgusting habit and I see that addictions make you come up with excuses why you *need* something, but this is something the military has tried...they've tried it several times and the results were bad each time. You haven't been so you don't know what you're talking about in this case. It's a world so nasty that talking about smoking is laughable.
The start menu is horrible I wish it would go away. It was designed so that someone with no idea what they're doing can guess their way to the correct destination. Much like the horrible category mode that control panel had. Example: Uhmmm I've never seen a computer before I guess I want to start here uhm games, uhm Myst, uhm Start Myst.
That's the thinking but it even fails at that because it's more like: I want uhm start... wow that's a list of things hmm.. oops the menu closed ok open it up again ok uhm games... no.. I want Borderbund software... uhm ok Cyan Games? Uhm Myst... Play myst in window.. no play myst fullscreen.. yes.
I use public transit frequently despite owning a car, and last year when I was in college I did it so much that my battery deep discharged. I just slashdotted in the morning and studied in the evening. Sometimes I would watch netflix, do banking, pay bills, write mom, organize my todo list, when I move I'll be able to do my grocery shopping on the bus. My biggest complaint was the smell of meth people and hippies permanently rubbed into the seats. Don't consider commute time on public transit wasted consider it reserved time for certain sorts of tasks, I was actually saving myself 30 minutes a day by taking public transit, not losing 40 (or I forget) at first glance.
I'm moving to Seattle soon and I think I'm going to ditch my car completely and get one of those folding powered scooters to use to catch the bus if it's raining or get where I need to go depending.... and then use a rental car anytime I need a car. The really fast lightweight scooters seem to break frequently but the parts are inexpensive and even the worst engine teardowns get done in 5 or 10 minutes on youtube so probably the worst repairs will take me 30 or 40 minutes max the first time I do it.
Oh lord, I have a super religious roommate. Every good thing that happens.... God. Every bad thing that happens.... Still good, we just don't know why yet. I've actually brought up good things happening to me, or mulsims, buddhists, and mormons. Either god being mysterious, or the true evil doesn't just prance in with horns like we think. Depends on her mood. Most conversation with her about anything of substance reduces to canned responses that are usually not directly from the bible, each one short and used over and over even if it means digressing far off topic to get there.
She also becomes excited whenever the world inches closer to collapse or war, she denies this but it's become clear that she can't wait for everyone to die so she can go to heaven. I move out in a few days and after a year of this shit, life will be so beautiful (No doubt life away from her is another of God's blessings).
I didn't think this is what religious people actually thought but I've seen her talk to some more composed people who have similar views to her and they're just not as undisciplined with their mouths and actions until they're around one of their own. Truly frightening.
Human beings are constantly doing things that would make themselves less combat ready, have a soda, stay up late, don't stretch, even getting your way once in awhile makes you less combat effective. The military is likewise doing things to military personnel that make them less combat ready. Exposing them to harmful fumes comes to mind. Before you argue how important whatever task they're undertaking is worth exposing them to these fumes, it's just as often busywork. Other military people will back me up on this.
Nonetheless most military personnel are indeed combat ready and are tested for their readiness, smoking is very popular in the military and it might shock you to learn that they just train hard enough that they stay in shape anyhow. Efforts to ban smoking on ships and things have caused MASSIVE problems, imagine that your entire day is shit and there are only four things you have to look forward to in a day, food, sleep, jacking off, and smoking. Your free time consists of 5 minute increments where you happen to be idle. These are the best parts of your day for sometimes months at a time and sometimes you're not getting sleep either. Then someone tells you that you can't smoke. People start falling asleep on station, even months later people are still irritable because they're not able to provide an artificial source of satisfaction in an otherwise totally unsatisfying way of life.
Forget that. You can't even imagine the sort of lives military people live. It's the SMALLEST of things that you get to enjoy and it's almost intolerable when you've already been injured several times or completed some sort of dangerous task and some safety nerd comes around taking your last bit of fun away. Imagine the stitches are still bleeding somewhere on your filthy body and someone with soft hands in a clean dry uniform yanks a cigarette out of your mouth and reminds you how bad it is for you, or when nobody has given a shit about you in a year and then someone has the nerve to tell you that people have heard you're drinking every night they're going to send you to drug counseling. When your day consists of working so hard that you think maybe you might pass out, but you keep working because you figure you'll pass out and get a few days rest in medical or maybe you won't pass out but man you feel funny and right while this is going through your head some guy tells you that they don't like you walking around without a shirt over your t-shirt. You're that guy.
Those ships aren't electric propulsion. Anyhow I feel it's worth pointing out navy has built nuclear destroyers but they're not practical, but maybe they are.
Of course the goal is to deploy this on an existing platform.
But it's feasible that the author's statements that he baited the troll on might indicate he used some sort of honeypot to get the troll to cough up his IP address. As far as getting him to reveal his ACTUAL location, it seems like it might take a lot to get him to do it even once. But three times? I have to admit this would be quite a stretch without maybe some sort of actual hacking or something. But maybe he did indeed bait the troll into somehow installing something on his machine, that'd be illegal and he couldn't ever write about that, he'd have to sanitize his story a bit. Also the geolocation site could be something, If I had a friend who lived in a relatively small city in ireland and an IP showed up there. I might ask my friend... "hey this isn't your IP is it?" especially if my antagonist seemed to know a lot about me. But why your father's friend??? It's not like there aren't an endless supply of superior trolling targets on the internet, though I have encountered these sorts of trolls in the past, really angry and abrasive but not actually funny.
I think your points are hard to argue with though.
I don't think most colleges are teaching CS with microsoft tools. Maybe community colleges teach programming with the.Net family of languages and Visual Studio. In four year college i never once encountered visual studio.
Sadly many people who enter the workforce are too airheaded to deal with the most rudimentary office tasks despite being adequately trained in whatever they're supposed to be doing. The workforce often demands SPECIFICALLY office or generic office skills. So the college deliver what they want. Actually I used to regularly get vouchers from my company to let struggling users take intro to office at their local community college. Most of the time you can tell they hated working with their computer and probably dreaded coming into work and messing with it, many of them spending more time fighting the machine than actually doing their job. FOR YEARS. It had to be horrible.
Nobody ever collected a voucher even once. Anyhow yeah community colleges deliver what people are demanding their employees to know.
Where did I ask a DNS question? Earlier you said I think people should be murdered for shopping at wal-mart and that expecting to lose money when you involve idiots in your business was like saying you should be expected to be raped for wearing a provocative dress.
I think you're trying to get people to mod me down or something, does getting modded down a few times have much impact on your ability to use slashdot... really i want to know? I've asked people to mod me down as a joke before (and they did). In any case you're not having much success.
No I'm saying don't be sad when your vacuum cleaner falls apart and you don't have a job because you shop at wal-mart... except in the case of go-daddy you get lied to constantly (like at best buy) and it's expensive (like best buy)
I was giving good business advice actually, most of the time when I lose money it's because I wasn't selective who I trusted. So it's my fault for losing money because I trusted a moron with business.
Also good job with the rape out of the blue.. why don't you throw in some nazis and compare me to bush while you're at it. You're like the idiot who shops at wal-mart... except with best buy prices and customer service.
So since people stopped caring about SOPA it's not a big deal now? It's getting pushed through piecemeal. I'm gonna laugh when your precious website can't be reliably hosted anywhere in the USA.
Lesson is: Don't do important business with losers.
Good work! Stand by GoDaddy, pay for expensive web hosting of low quality with a long track record of bad security and customer fucking. If more people were like you folks wouldn't be so quick to shit on the little guy.
You misunderstand. Godaddy supported SOPA. Essentially they support anyone claiming to be a content owner taking your site down for infringement while the claim is investigated. Why not go with a better cheaper provider anyhow?
Sabu has no kids, they're not his kids, they're his aunts and have probably returned to her custody or another family member's. Don't believe his bullshit. He maintained a party on welfare lifestyle fucking around on the internet and partying with friends the whole time, he carded from the auto shop he worked at and worked a bunch of other fake shit jobs.
He was supposedly an ok python programmer all he needed to do was go to some computer related social events and get someone to give him a job, with his social skills he probably would have found success. Instead he hung out on/i/ dedicating time to becoming an internet bigshot.

it seems to me that nuclear destroyers had a wider beam than fossil fuel ships. Couldn't explain the details.

He already managed to rack up more charges after the FBI raided him... impersonating a federal agent.
Good work sabu.
