Or they simply replace the fake CP with actual CP they got from some previous raid and have ready made evidence. Is the judge going to believe your words that HOT13YOPUSSY!!!!.JPG was actually a scan of the cover of 1984 - or secret police saying it is child porn?
THEN they will have fun with you, since no one will defend a pervert.
Lisbon does not supersede your constitution, it is subservient to it and therefore does not need a referendum.
Since it DOES reduce the member states' independence, it should be ratified by referendum. It may not have to, but I am very suspicious of the changes of this magnitude being made secretly and without popular mandate by "our" governments. Also, it is well known that the real reason they don't want referendum is that this "treaty" is in fact V2.0 of "EU Constitution" - a piece of fecal matter previously thrown away by the people.
I liked it here, but it seems it's time to look for other place to live. Europe had it's better days, but it's going down. Sad that history did not teach people anything.
The problem is exactly that those democratically elected governments are *NOT* answerable to the electorate. Once chosen, they do what they please and what highest paying lobbyists want. As a voter, I can do exactly nothing effective to stop them from selling out, doing stupid and evil things.
Case in point: year ago there were elections in Poland. Record turnout, previous ruling party lost significantly. New ruling party... continues most of the failed policies. Like accepting Lisbon treachery without referendum (they know well it would fail) or continued selling out to Shrub.
If only there was a Reform Treaty that could sort all this out? They could call it after one of the capital cities of Europe - maybe say Portugal's capital, yes that's a good idea - call it the Treaty of Lisbon. Then we can all ratify it and there will be reform.
Right. Remove some braindead organizational problems. Also, while we're at it, take another step or five towards totalitarian pan-european megastate. If that treaty is so good, why are the leaders of EU so afraid of it being approved through referendums?
One might also ask, whither Microsoft, now that their $86 million investment in Baystar has turned out to be a complete waste. Shouldn't some executive's head roll for this?
Oh, he's probably got a raise and congratulatory call from The Chair Master. That $86 million was good investment - it did profit MS indirectly, by causing many to be wary and afraid of Linux or FOSS in general. Probably the most successful FUD campaign MS ever did.
Optimus OptiPLAYER 2000V. Which is actually some Chinese crap branded for sale in Poland with Optimus logo. Looks exactly the same as several other cheap players, probably differs only in logo and default language.
Anyway, Ogg Vorbis compatibility in popular hardware is way higher that checking offered specifications would show, still since people don't see it offered as a supported format, most don't even know it exists.
Or as I've looked, I found one that does not list playing Ogg, but... it can record Vorbis. Funny.
Don't be so sure about Ogg being unsupported. While most of the players never list it as supported format, some will play it just fine anyway. I have one like that - it does only list MP3,WAV and WMA. Even in the specifications, Ogg is not mentioned. Yet when I tried it, the player had no problem.
Opportunity makes the thief, as the old proverb goes.
This is a good example. Let minimum wage people open travellers' bags completely unsupervised and there will be one or two that will help themselves to the goods. The real point is, if there is a need at all to search checked bags, the safe way is to have the owner present the contents - like it happens with customs. The problem is not that particular thief, it's the TSA giving him ample opportunity to steal... by making these searches unwitnessed and unsupervised. And probably also by TSA making these people believe thay are above the law.
It is amazing that it's not happening more often. Or maybe it is?
Well then, let's make ourselves a CA and use it to sign certificate for "*". Then import it to FF, IE and whatever else browser you like. "*" will match any site (so why not add it as a default to Apache?) and CA will be recognized since it's on the list.
No authentication, but encryption would work. (Tested with FF and IE)
NAT helps with more than just lack of IP addresses and while it's not the ideal solution, the alternative is worse. v6 sucks.
Even the reviewers note "At least from this study, we cannot draw any conclusion that bisphenol A causes any health effect. As noted by the authors, further research will be needed to understand whether these statistical associations have any relevance at all for human health".
Translation: We found some funny results, but we have no fucking idea what they really mean. Please send use some more grants so we can actually try to find if it causes anything except the liquid in the test tube turning sparkly violet.
High Fructose Corn Syrup might be not very common in Europe, but most of the soft drinks contain "glucose-fructose syrup"... Generally the same evil shit, only probably not made from corn.
And anyway, whether it's regular sugar, cane sugar, HFCS or similar, the amount of sugar in these drinks is not healthy. It isn't however the main cause of obesity - you need to add candy bars, grease loaded fast "food" and the common, irrational fear of exercise (from which I do, unfortunately, suffer).
I'm an Internet user of 16 years and it still troubles me, that ISPs don't understand what they do wrong.
First, ISPs generally started with selling "unlimited". Fine marketing gimmick, you thought. Well it might feel like that, but then people started to believe it. When you sell me something unlimited, I don't see any reason to limit my use. Why should I?
Now the whole "we pay for expensive bandwidth and sell it cheap to the poor and needy" bullshit ignores one thing. You sold it at the price you considered profitable (or was there P2P user with a gun to your head forcing you? if so, please tell the story!). It is sold, not yours anymore to decide how I should use it and for what. If your pricing is wrong, that's your problem, not mine.
Now instead of dealing with the problem you have created for yourself in a way that does the least inconvenience for your users, you want to punish them for believing your own marketing and grab some extra money - I don't see any ISP talking about lowering prices for light users, only about grabbing money from these that fully consume what they paid for. I repeat, WHAT THEY HAVE PAID FOR.
So STFU please and get a course in network management.
There are ways to solve this problem and only some of them demand buying more and more bandwidth. Creating proper traffic rules and prioritizing could do more than doubling your bandwidth - but it needs some work.
As for the copyright infringements, you should stop that hypocritical bullshit. It is your core business to supply tools for that, as without P2P and other illegal stuff you'd be selling few dialup accounts per month. It is bittorrent, eMule, LimeWire and others that supply you customers.
Then just wait till you piss off some jerk with flat rate business connection, who will pingflood you and make you pay for some extra gigabytes. Traffic accounting for IP is crap, was crap and even with v6 will still be crap.
The only good way is to set flow control with guaranteed minimums and fair sharing of unused bandwidth. Linux can do it and I'm sure proffessional routing equipment can do it too.
Unfortuantely, before the SATA bus, they would saturate my credit card. $2900 for 128GB? Maybe if they were like twice as expensive as the conventional drives, I'd consider switching, but the price difference right now is unjustifiable for any people slightly less rich than average oil sheikh or Bill Gates.
for best propulsion, like in the horrible movie, burying it might be the best option
For ANY noticeable populsion, burying them is the ONLY option. Otherwise you will just make a fireworks show for Hubble to watch. Actually I think the best way would be to send a nuke in large tank of water, contact fused. Evaporated water would create a blast wave that might have some effect. Just remember to calculate all aspects of the mission in the same units...
Detonate one of them near the asteroid, push it off course
You can rain nukes on that asteroid till it glows, but that won't make much difference. Trick is, in the vacuum of space, nuclear explosion is weak. There is no air to create blast wave and thermal flash, so all you get is some hard radiation and hand-grenade level of blast from vaporized bomb casing. And that's it.
Project Orion would get around this problem by using thousands of little charges, detonated close to the reflector - and it would still take years to accelerate.
A volley of the kind of nuclear warheads we have now would not effectively change course of any asteroid big enough to be a threat.
And blasting it to pieces would make a little difference, only in distribution of the damage - we'd get stoned with a swarm of fragments instead of one big piece, yet the same mass and total energy.
I think we need a little change. When giving names of the politicians supporting these kinds of laws, it should be not the state they live in but whom they work for given for affiliation. Then, Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) have just sponsored a new bill would become like Senators Patrick Leahy (D-RIAA) and Arlen Specter (R-MPAA) have just sponsored a new bill.
Much more clear and informative.
PS. Sorry if their MAFIAA affiliations are reversed, I'm not current on the bribe flows.
Yeah, you should send gunboats too, to teach those heathen filthy foreigners the respect for American Imaginary Property.
But wait, you aren't required... That's a solution then! Just keep it to yourself. I can live without it. If that's the price to bring down the evil, I'm ready to pay. I'll just watch "Torchwood" instead of "Battlestar Galactica", it's better anyway.
