"look at the statistics of fire departments on the day before and the day of Thanksgiving should tell you that people, in general, are not competent to operate anything more complex than the shoestrings of their shoes."
This couldn't more true, thanks for putting a smile on my face today.:)
What the fuck is it with politicians and acronyms? SAFE? Give me a fucking break! And this business of 'fast tracking' bills need to be stopped now. Seems our politicians, judges and lawyers are too big of pussy's to stand up for our constitutional rights. They're more concerned about getting re-elected by not giving the impression that they're soft on drunk drivers, pedophiles etc.
If the people who go on shooting sprees could do us any favor, it is to shoot the politicians, lawyers and judges who violate your constitutional rights instead of innocent people.
Cool, this sounds like the ticket to fast Solid State hard drives. I know there are some flash drives being produced, but the limited read/write cycle is what has kept me from trying one. I would most certainly like to have a drive where slew rate and rotational latency are non-existent.
This would be the same as Microsoft suing window manufactures to quit using the word 'Windows' and substitute the word 'transparency' instead. Or Universal pictures going after Microsoft for stealing the radioman's characters last name of 'Windows' form John Carpenters 'The Thing'.
So, by my score we have 404 'page not found' clueless fucking morons to 6 who actually have some reasonable measure of a clue. Leave it to our government to use the 'terrorist threat' excuse to potentially force new laws to govern, regulate and snoop on their citizens who use the Internet. Welcome to the United Fascist States of America (UFSoA).
The article notes that smoking cannabis will not deliver significant quantities of CBD.
Yeah, right. You probably said this just to keep the FEDS off your back. I mean after all, we cannot have research show that smoking pot is even in the remotest good for you. The status quo multi million dollar drug enforcement empire need to be kept in place.
Raw CPU speed is nice but when are we going to make the busses fatter. Most of the bottle necks are in the memory and hard drive subsystems. My Sun Ultra 2 for instance, it has two 64 bit 400 MHz processors, a 576 bit wide memory buss and a reasonably fast SCSI interface. Even though this thing is a dinosaur by todays standards it easily kept up with an old dual 1GHz PIII.
Besides, just how much unwarranted computing performance does Jane and Joe user really need to surf the net, do e-mail, instant message, play music and do home office chores.
"malware, spamigation bots, and other network nasties"
WTF are these terms you are referring to? I run Linux and Unix and I'm unfamiliar with "malware" and "spamigation bots". Are these Windows applications?
I leave my access point open as a sort of 'gratuity' to the public. And as one Slashdotter had pointed out, my SSID contains 'don't abuse' in the string. I pay for the bandwidth, so what's the problem. ISP's seem to be taking clues from the RIAA / MPAA's 'YOU'RE STEALING' if you don't get it from us bullshit.
"There are nearly half a million database servers exposed on the Internet, without firewall protection according to UK-based security researcher David Litchfield."
What?! Sheesh, now I suppose you're going to tell me that I cannot have a Windows box without virus / spyware / firewa &^%@@***Mh^^
While this action sounds intriguing, I think a better way is for every law student in the nation to sue the RIAA into extinction. We all know the RIAA / MPAA have used some very shady legal tactics, and I think it's way over due to return the favor.
Man, this reeks of the same methods MADD uses to force states to enact MADD's insane, Draconian and Stalinistic DUI laws. It's no suprise that MADD has used money and political embarrassment to get their way. And now it seems the RIAA has taken on MADD's legal tactics, un-fucking believable.
What I meant to imply is that the 'anti-gravity' technology has to have it's own internal power source that cannot be turned off, and is self sustaining. Also, the 'on board' navigation / collision avoidance system will have to use the planet's natural magnetic field and NOT (or maybe in conjunction with) some centralized designed for failure GPS system. Sky highways would also have to be high enough so you wont have a problem with bird flight and migration paths. In any event, I'll NEVER see anything like this in my lifetime.
This won't happen till we have vehicles that use anti-gravity technology. Relying on forced air levitation is just TOO RISKY, the vehicle needs to loose ALL power and still not fall from the sky.
So why don't we build a facility to breed them from DNA extracted from mosquitoes trapped in Amber, run the place with Silicon Graphics workstations with some smart ass obese slovenly IT guy... Oh wait..
I got sick of paying the ever increasing cost of cable back when there was only 32 channels and local FM stations. All I ever watched was some 4 or 5 channels, the rest I could care less about. Besides, I have higher priorities, having food, power, water and the Internet;). I remember asking the cable company when they were going to offer HBO, Showtime and Cinemax in stereo, they said don't hold your breath. It was going to require a hardware upgrade that they didn't see fit to do. Go figure...
Does this mean I will soon be able to demand a AM/FM/SW/satellite/cassette/8-track/mini-disk/DCC/open-reel/phonograph player for my next new car? SWEET!!!!
My middle finger is waving at you. You got to be fucking kidding me. Don't you ass holes have something better to do? Like oh I don't know, publish better music? How many more company's am I NOT going to buy music CD's and DVD's from. But, just like normal you have to send bull shit take down notices for things that are clearly FAIR USE family videos. Get a FUCKING clue would you, because these 'take down notices' for irreverent things are getting way beyond old.
Yeah, in 10 years well be bitching because we wont have enough space for a decent Windows xx or Linux xx install. I must be getting old, because I remember asking how on earth could you fill a 40 Megabyte hard drive.
Well, I don't know about you but I don't wake up instantly. There is a few moments that I'm still a little incoherent. Weather they are yelling POLICE GET DOWN! or not is going to sound like gibberish. What if this was done to a post war vet? All I know is if I was able to come to come coherence early enough to NOT point my weapon at the police, the best I could hope for is to get a little roughed up.

I guess that should be MPAA......

Well, in the remotest of sense they do use semi technical terms like tubes and dump trucks.
And here it will be another technology that will always be 5 to 10 years away if the current battery manufactures have their way.

Say what you want about Richard Hogland, but he has an outdated blog about this very same subject. http://www.enterprisemission.com/weblog/weblog.htm
Hey DOZIER, what part of FUCK OFF are you having difficulty understanding? Your EULA is a laughing stock and totally unenforceable.
