Back in the day I had written a BASIC program to automate creating cities and towns for D&D, and ran into the 65K memory top. I had to break the program into multiple chunks and write to the disk in an array to pass info, so yes indeed it was pretty easy to hit the memory limits. This was...25+ years ago, so I don't know about it's current limitations.
Oh, sorry about that...that's why I said "on a side note" about the Libertarian thing, I should have made it more clear I wasn't referring to you! Indeed, I'm in the same boat, all the "parties" have some messed up ideas. I've taken many a "what party are you" tests, they all say I'm in the middle between all of them. Honestly, I find the quote from Eisenhower, and the ideas from the Progressive Republican Platform of 1956, to be a really close match for me: "In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative." It's sad to me that we, as a country, are so polarized that most can't even comprehend there could be Progressives in the GOP, or Conservatives in the Dems, or socialism that is about "We the People" as opposed to Marxism. What used to be adjectives (or pronouns?) have become nouns.
Anyway, please accept my apology for inferring you labeled yourself as a Libertarian!
So now it needs a Trump add-in! TrumpFox...MAKE FIREFOX GREAT AGAIN! IT WILL BE THE MOST FABULOUS WEB BROWSER! I will make the virus and malware writers pay for the antivirus software! I will demand that all developers live inside the USA!
Firefox is really pissing me off anyway, mine keeps loosing the spellcheck. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps, checked the language packs are installed, and yet often the "Check Spelling" disappears and instead "Add a dictionary" shows up.
I totally agree. Apparently the Justice Department, via their lawyer Saritha Komatireddy, either doesn't grasp this idea or is just...you know, being a lawyer and pushing whatever limits she can. It's ridiculous, that the DOJ is purposely once again attempting to do an end-run around the 9th and 10th Amendments. From the docket transcript, it seems the judge doesn't really buy her idea either.
The Government's argument to force Apple is because Congress has yet to specifically pass a law saying "don't do this" it's all legal and fine.
THE COURT: So short of Congress passing a law prohibiting what you want here, it's fair game? Anything else that Congress may have done in terms of considering legislation one way or the other, because it doesn't result in a statutory prohibition, wouldn't be enough to say, it's off limits for the All Writs Act?
Obviously you have no idea whom is actually behind this bill, or "how things work" in Oklahoma. Or, your a troll, or a Creationist who is just afraid to come out of the flat-Earth closet. If what your saying was actually what this bill was about, then perhaps it wouldn't be so horrible. But the situation on the ground, and the ideals behind THIS PARTICULAR BILL are not what your posting. I should know, I live in Oklahoma. And this bill is being pushed by the same people who wanted to reject AP History and replace it with religious sermons about sin, speeches by Ronald Reagan, and other nonsense. This isn't some stand alone bill, but another ploy by the same group who are just trying to once again get their religious views injected in public school.
Even more ridiculous is that this will really jack with standardized testing. Standardized testing doesn't give a teacher discretion in saying "well, you answered this question with your firmly held religious beliefs so I can't count it as wrong" which is another thing this bill is trying to legalize. If this bill passes, I can guarentee that if a history teacher "taught the controversy" and brought up the Treaty of Tripoli (that specifically states the US is in no way founded on the Christian religion) they would be fired anyway.
Electromagnetic shielding tech is up to this task. Per my link, "no bigger than a large desk". Now that the USA is finally spinning back up RTG production, paintable solar cells, Tesla's advancement in battery tech, etc we COULD do quite a bit more than we are.
With the BEAM idea, we could relatively easily build this and include electromagnetic shielding to guard against cosmic rays. Inflatable modules could be built en-mass, there is no reason we couldn't use them to make several Deep Space Habitats. All that's lacking is the political will power and vision.
Perhaps add "this includes you, AT&T" on your sign. I actually invited the AT&T U-Verse guy in, we talked to him, even had him come back a second time...just to tell him that once U-Verse included all the other BBC channels (not just BBC America) then we would most certainly get their service. Four years later, they still haven't come back yet.
And notice they waited until the AT&T / Dish merger was over? Dish doesn't have that kind of cash, but AT&T has a history of lawsuits like this against them and it will be far easier to get a settlement out of AT&T.
Well, Dish is now owned by AT&T. Theoretically they COULD afford it, yet AT&T most certainly has many sub-clauses in their buyout terms that say anything done before the merger is not their issue. Since it's already been approved by the SEC, and AT&T is the definition of a heartless corp, I'm sure they are completely indemnify against anything done pre-merger. Personally I think that shouldn't be allowed; but corps have far different rules than humans.
Here's a 71 page reference called "Caller ID (CID) Algorithm User’s Guide". The service providing names with numbers is technically separate, called CNAME. Wikipedia has some basic info. But seeing as Caller ID was developed in 1984, far before most tech we're currently using and made to work with basic switching systems (in the teleco sense, not modern networking sense), it's quite primitive and easily spoofed. Anyone with an old modem can make scripts to spoof it.
" Throw the execs in jail, then confiscate all stock, and re-allocate it evenly among the remaining employees. As the sole remaining shareholders, it would be up to them to find good leadership and put things right if they want to keep their jobs. " I absolutely LOVE your theoretical implementation. I too have been harping about some type of "corporate death penalty" too...if corps are people, why is it OK for them to be basically immortal? With the current system, the more voracious, vicious, and predatory a corp is the longer it lives. This is the opposite of how our social, overly-emphatic human race has evolved were cooperation has been the key to our rise. We label people who act like highly successful corps as psychopaths and lock them up. Yet a large portion of the US population actually cheers on the blood sports and worships people like Gordon Gekko. We owe it to ourselves, our future generations, and society as a whole to find a "middle path" that both allows free enterprise to flourish yet actually punishes the corporate psychopaths.
Not only what you said, but I could also see a civil lawsuit towards the IT person happening. Especially if the end user was a business person, someone accused of child pornography can still have their lives all jacked up. I doubt this law provides any indemnification for the IT people.
Plus they have a giant geological energy producer they could tap to make electricity if they really want to. Their only making 30 MW at the moment, but with multiple volcanoes there's no reason they couldn't go 100% geothermal. Well, other than the fact that some natives seem to get really mad about technological progress on their island that is.
Often I think that the US political system might work better if we actually had some form of parliament; some 4th branch that had membership based on the number of people registered to a particular party; then the members of that particular party get to vote who exactly gets the seats.. The idea would be to encourage the formation of more political parties and increase the strength of the "3rd party" idea that is so elusive here in the US.
Is the cabin door bullet proof? If I really wanted to bring the plane down, that's were I'd aim. Even if you didn't hit the pilots, hitting the instruments, or even the cockpit window.
LOL, having to have sex with the same person is far more like Old Testament King Solomon's idea of cutting a baby in half...but if that was the actual "law", then any 3rd party might really never want to be in an affair with a married person haha
I suggest you look into Christian Atheism. It's an interesting idea for those of us who think that the "teachings of Jesus" have many good ideas yet reject the idea of a interventionist God. You know, those ideas like "do unto others", helping the poor, don't covet others possessions, etc.
So your claiming that Dwight D Eisenhower hated the idea of the family unit? People like yourself show a very sad lack of historical knowledge and perspective; before Fox News and Rush / O'rielly . etc, there was this thing called the Progressive Republican Platform. Turn off the biased TV, and learn some history. Do you also throw around terms like "libtard" and "cuckservative"?
"In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, Government ought not to interfere." - President Abraham Lincoln
We can be BOTH liberal and conservative; neither ideal has a 100% fit for all situations. Pushing for 100% for either is nothing except authoritarianism in disguise. We should be able to combine logic and empathy with freedom.

Quite right...and I think we got lucky with the French Revolution or the War of 1812 might have come sooner and been far worse.
