What defines reasonable suspicion? Sure I will eventually get released, but does that matter? And do not try to distract me from my point by asking me if I live in Arizona or if I realized that I can be arrested by the Feds.
My point is that this is an open ended law that can ensnare anyone a police officer feels is suspicious. And the key word above is feels. That is all he needs to haul me in. Oh, sorry, were my suspicions wrong? So sorry, you can go and you have no recourse in the case of harassment.
What you maybe missing is that I, a legal citizen of the US, can be detAined for some nebulous good reason. And if I don't have my id or whatever paper work proving i am a citizen, they can detain me till it is straightened out. I should not have to worry about being asked for my papers because I wanted to walk down the street.
I agree with you to a point. I think the moment he started seeking the lime light by going on the talk shows, and showing up at rallies, he invited it upon himself.
I always find it interesting how you get a slew of "I am glad I never jail broke my iphone" comments when a new release comes out that breaks the jail break.
Well in this case, I am glad I jail broke my iphone because I did not upgrade to the new firmware. In some ways it is nice, because you let everyone else find out what is broken. So in this case, even if they come out with the new pwnage for the new firmware, I am sure I am going to just wait until the new release from apple come out.
SCOTUS can not rule on a case until a case is brought before them. Someone must have their items confiscated and then a lawsuit raised in the federal courts.
HP/Compaq are today - shitty printer ink companies.
Obviously you do not have any corporate experience with HP at all. We are buying servers from them and we have a number of (acquired) their software products that we run. For instance, the Mercury Load Runner testing suite. I know they do a pretty good business, so I do not understand your "printer ink companies" comment.
Why can't Microsoft dictate what is run under their operating system? Why can't Dell dictate that you can only run Windows on their hardware? It is *theirs* right? And of course no one forced me to buy their hardware or operating system did they?
Of course this is nonsense and should not be tolerated. So why is Apple being given a pass on this by so many people. We should be upset that they are going to make quite a bit of money on these apps (30%) from their App Store. So if they are going to be making this money, why do you think they don't want you to have an interpreted language installed? I could then conceivably bypass their App Store and they would lose money.
I think that you have the reasons for being motivated wrong. So what if there is no direct benefit for your company being number one. However, what about long term? Did you bother thinking about job security? Or proving your bona fides? If your company is number one, guess what, they are making more money. If they are making more money, they have more money for raises. The management team should not have to spell this out for you, it should have been evident. The company I work for is number one in the market place. I have been with the company for seven years, and I have shown that I have ability, intelligence and a drive to succeed. For this, they have promoted and rewarded me with raises and such. Did I start out at the top? No, of course not, and I should not have either, I was not ready for it. There is more to a job than just being a good programmer. There is personal relationships within the company, there is understanding the business to help better design your programs.
So do I feel particularly bad for you? No, I think that you have it all wrong, society did not lie to you, you misunderstood it. Or more likely, you heard what you wanted to hear.
* In 1986, who attempted to smuggle three pounds of explosives onto an El Al jetliner bound from London to Tel Aviv?
a. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40
b. Michael Smerconish
c. Bob Mould
d. A pregnant Irishwoman named Anne Murphy
The answer is A. She is an Irishwoman best known as the former girlfriend of the Jordanian terrorist Nezar Hindawi. While she was pregnant with his child, Hindawi convinced her to unknowingly take an explosives-laden bag on board an El Al flight. Nezar was born in 1954 and when this was committed, 1986, he was 32 years old.
I agree, there are other people that want to kill people, just get the facts straight.
I guess one of the points is, with the de-icing fluid carrys cost with it. One for the actual cost of the liquid, two the environmental clean up and three the man hours to do the work. And if I recall correctly, do they not actually sometimes do it multiple times before take off?
So the question is, over the life of the plane, and the number of times it will be deiced, what is the cost benefit ratio. Do we save money even with the extra weight? Or is it still cheaper with the old method? That is something for the accountants to figure out. I am sure someone, somewhere will at least do the study.
As you say, the power consumptions might not be the greatest.
However think of this scenario. First a disclaimer, I am not in the aviation industry.
What if this technique of removing ice from wings and other surfaces were used only while they were plugged in at the terminal. No need for chemicals or the engines to be running. The cost of electricity is far cheaper than a gallon of aviation fuel.
I started searching for my friends and family. I found a number of their documents online with just a couple of clicks. Absolutely ridiculous! I called my senator (state and federal) and I urge you to do the same.
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry, but the Borg Face is so infantile. This is new for nerds, not how the editorial staff is pandering to a certain group of readers.
I know haters will hate and Slashdotters love to hate Microsoft, but honestly, what the hell does open source tools have to do with the Borg Face?

I don't know about you, but the title, "Close the Analog Hole" sounds like something you would hear on a pr0n site.

And what about those poor AS/400 (iSeries, System I, i5, whatever) DBAs? Whom do they hate?

Have you actually looked at the graph? Apples are higher on the Taste (Y) scale than the Oranges.

Can you give some examples of some of these projects that failed due to struts.
I read the title and though immediately of D&D, Cthulhu, etc... through Wiki. Where you could have the public modify the game as it goes on.
Much to my dissapointment, it was a political campaign...
