Allies don't encourage your citizens to commit treason and steal state secrets so they can sell them to our enemies, both acts Israel has committed more than once.
Yeah....like any other country with a modern intelligence system doesn't do the same thing...
Why not simply a hardware router/firewall for a lousy 20 bucks? Imo it isn't any more difficult to deal with than a software firewall or the Windows Firewall itself and it scales a lot better when the household has more than 1 pc.
ehmm, so he's saying that they won't need to put out an RC2, but they do need to do some final polishing before going 1.0? Exactly what is contradictory in those 2 statements?
If they're not experts on anything, and don't know how to listen to people who are, what are they for?
Ehmm, they're there to make the decisions and, if you're smart, to serve as a bulletproof cover for *your* ass. Whenever you're about to do something that might tick people off and, let's face it, what doesn't when it concerns IT in any company, it really helps to have an email from someone in a higher payscale affirming that a) they've understood what you've laid out before them and b) they're ok with you going ahead and implementing it.
3) Get off your fucking high horse. Are there disturbing things happening in the US? Yes. Are there in your part of the world too? You betcha. I don't know what country you are from and really, it doesn't matter. Wherever it is, I guarantee there's some scary big brother stuff that some people are pushing. Hell, some of it you may already have and are just used to it, you might even think it's normal whereas it'd scare me. Either way this "I'm scared to go to the US," is an attitude that screams ignorance.
Oh, definitely. The big difference is that the US of A is by far the leader in the field when it comes to flagwaving, touting the "home of the brave, land of the free" and showcasing that constitution you seem to be so terribly proud of. You see, the rest of us don't go around pretending we're the beacon of hope and salvation for all mankind, and seeing the US say one thing and then turn around and do something completely different starts to get a bit old by now.
One or two of them have annoying "save password? popups that can't be gotten rid of with a simple "never give me these damn popups again for any site!" option because that option just isn't there.
I've been using the classic Mozilla suite(now Seamonkey) for at least 5 years now and I don't ever recall it not having that option...
You are not very well informed. If you had invested in a interstellar subspace communicator and listened to the cosmic news channels every once in a while you would know that January 29th 2007 is be the day the Windows Vista development servers, all the backups along with the Vista development team it self and Steve Ballmer's entire collection of hand made throwing chairs is scheduled to be abducted by they grey aliens.
In that case let me be the first to sign up for X-Com. I've always wanted to run around with a Blaster Launcher.
You could trust the person who put it together. He can determine whether he's paid fairly or not. And if not, he can choose to do something else.
Like, instead of being a heavily underpaid sweatshop slave who might very well be underage, he or she could also choose to be free, hungry and soon to be dead from starvation. Not every person on this planet has the same scope of choices available.
BTW: the psychopats that so cheerfully call themselves doctors used to apply electro-schocks, cut connections between parts of brain and tried some other methods of 'human' treatment. Now they manipulate genes to go on with their jolly deeds. I wonder where that ends. I suppose I have just qualified for their treatment.
You do realize in extreme cases of depression electroshock treatment is still used, right? It came into being after it was observed that someone who had suffered an epyleptic seizure had snapped out of a depression. I've seen it in use first-hand, and on occasion it works, altho there is a risk the patient flips right through to the other size into a manic period.
aha, so effectively he's above both national and international law then? Even if say Congress, the part of the US Government that is apparently "supposed" to be calling the shots when it comes to declaring war, decides it is necessary for him to stand trial?
It is entirely obvious to me now that you nor your children have ever faced serious bullying in your lives. A "demand for respect" is not a defense against any form of serious bullying.
You should get off your high horse, you ignorant man.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. There is a huge difference between kicking the shit out of someone and simply making a statement, be it vocal, physical or otherwise, that informs the other individual that messing with you might not be a very good idea.
And yes, i got seriously bullied as a kid and yes, the only way to deal with it was to learn how to stand up for myself. A lesson that still serves me well in everyday life.
1. You are drunk in a bar, you get into a bar fight with someone (lets just say you were trying to avoid it for the argument), you get knocked out. 2. You are walking down the street, and you get jumped and have your wallet taken. 3. You are walking around in a shopping mall, you know 6 martial arts and have 3 people with you, you get blown up in a terrorist attack.
1. As much your own fault as anyone's. 2. Arguably at least partly your own fault. Unless you're willing to pay enough taxes to put a policeman in every dark alley, these things happen. Then again, there's the UK solution where they put a camera in every alley. Each his own i suppose. 3. Ah, the good old terrorists again. Guess they're more common than gas leaks these days.
The argument for "punishing the victim" is that no matter how well you're raised, no matter what kind of protected environment you grew up in, the world out there is tough. Some people will try to mug you, some think getting into a fight is fun, and if you don't pay enough attention a co-worker will shaft you so he can take your job. That's reality. It sucks, but that is the way it is, and until we find the magic potion of peace, happiness and eternal food it will be that way.
and the government has a reasonable basis to conclude that one party to the communication is a member of al Qaeda, affiliated with al Qaeda, or a member of an organization affiliated with al Qaeda, or working in support of al Qaeda.
Hmmm, before arguing one way or the other I'd be most interested to hear the definition of said "reasonable" basis.
Do officials actually do the torture, or do they give commands? Ahh.. Furthermore, if a president ordered such an act, wouldn't this amendment absolve him?
And if it doesn't, do we get to drag his sorry ass to The Hague the moment he sets foot on foreign soil?
then you just have to wonder, what makes our gender/sex?
I remember seeing an article, quite a while ago though, that showed that the basic template is the woman, which turns into a man given sufficient amounts of testosterone. In this particular case it showed a woman who actually had XX chromosomes but was somehow immune to the developmental effects of testorone while in uterus.
We can all find people in our own schooling that exemplifies this. In science/math courses I did very very little and was generally one of the higer grades. I knew quite a number of people who were obsessed and spent WAY more time than I ever did who never came anywhere close to my ability. I knew people who surpassed me that worked less and some that worked more. Of course I still spent quite a bit of time at it. I could not learn how something worked without reading about it or taking it apart, yet I needed only to do so once or twice. Some could do it hundreds of times and never get it, some would only need to get halfway before they understood it. That's innate talent.
I think that's oversimplifying things a bit. From my experience a huge factor that needs to be taken into account is confidence. Some people approach tasks like these with a feeling, conscious or not, that they're not going to understand it anyway. Others pretty much assume they will, and quite often both groups turn out to be right.
Another factor I noticed in school is the ability to dismiss that which is irrelevant to the task at hand. Who cares why V = I * R? Just fill in the bloody numbers and pass the test. Yet some people would stare blindly at the formula trying to "understand" it. This also ties in to my first point, as it generally happened to the same people that presumed they weren't going to understand it. When necessary they even tried to understand things they didn't have to...
What about terrorism? (Which is a popular subject these days.) Does anyone seriously think terrorists will respect the GPL? The only forces who are weakened by this addition to the GPL are those who respect the laws where GPL is valid. So, if terrorists finds a use for the software, they'll probably end up using it, but those who are supposed to defend you from terrorist will not be allowed to use it because their hands are tied to their backs by the GPL.
This whole thing is stupid. It's not pacifism that upholds peace, the military (of sane countries) does.
You know what? Fuck the terrorists. That's right, fuck the lot of 'm. Every time you mention terrorists in a/. post that does not involve terrorism directly, they win. Every time you pause to think about what they might or might not do, you win. You do know what the word "terror" actually means, right?
Yes. Although stupid botnet 'herders' may have their botnet ircds listening on the default port (6667), anyone who is even a half wit is smart enough to change that to something utterly random.
Besides, why block IRC - IRC is so fun:)
Indeed, which is why some of us irc admins open up port 8080 so anyone has a fair chance at losing their job.

Yikes, so not only are we talked an elected communist government, but one actually willing to implement policy set by the previous one?
