It is also important to make sure that you have efficient air flow through the computer case to avoid overheating. If the modem gets too hot it will slow down to a crawl. You need good fans to blow cool air in and also to suck the hot air out. It is essential to make sure that the case is air tight for this to work well and for the air to travel through the case as designed. To ensure that the case is air tight take your computer into the bath with you next time you have a bath, and turn it on to see if any air bubbles escape from the case in inappropriate places...
How many links do you want? I can get you hundreds to the innocents killed by both sides. Which side is it that you think is targeting terrorists? They are both terrorists. Israel was formed by terrorists that were blowing up buildings etc. and now they face retaliation by Muslim terrorists that have no other way of combating the Jewish terrorism.
I condemn the Jews for their massacres just the same as I condemn the Muslims for theirs. Just because the Jews use tanks and gunships does not change the fact that they are just as bad.
- will pick targets apparently at random - targets with absolutely no military or strategic values are attacked with full force - friendly civilian casualties are part of the battle plan - always disguised as a civilian - central command structures, guidelines and rules are flexible, nonexistent or a joke
Apart from "always disguised as a civilian" you have described both sides of this dispute. The true definition of 'terrorism' is about the use of fear as a weapon. To instil terror as a weapon. Both the Jews and the Muslims are doing that.
Israel was established by terrorist activity so the Jews are by definition terrorists. There is no dispute here, they were blowing up embassies etc. in what was Palestine. Now they continue to blow up and kill innocent people but with US backing so it is OK... The Muslims carry on retaliating as any normal person would. If you blow up my family I will do what I can to get revenge, just as any other person would. So as I said before, the killing will continue because both sides want it to.
Unfortunately the old market force of milk it to the max will kick in. People said that cathode ray tubes would be dead years ago because LCD screens are cheaper to make but the manufacturers still make lots of money from the current scheme so cathode ray tubes are still common. Even though solid state drives will continue to improve, hard disks will remain the norm for a long time.
Ehud Barak's offer of land for Palestinian statehood in 2000
The land offer was a very clever con trick. There was no way that it could have been accepted because it was so stupid. The trouble is that the general public do not read it, they just want sound bites. They read that 95% of the land was offered back to the Muslims and that sounds good but the 5% was the settlements and the roads to those settlements. The roads being the main problem as that means that even though you can see your neighbours house or the local shop, it may be across the road and if you step on to that road you are liable to be shot. So you have to travel many miles up to the settlement, go around the settlement and travel back down the other side of the road just to visit your neighbour or shop. The problem of the settlements is not just the land they are on, it is also the roads that the Muslims are not allowed to step on. Give the Muslims the roads?
Arafat did counteroffer, he wanted the settlements to go but that was not on offer, therefore the roads were still no go areas.
There are a lot of people in the world who believe that unarmed Israeli civilians somehow deserve to be shelled.
And there are just as many idiots that believe that unarmed Palestinians deserve to be shelled. A Jewish soldier shoots and kills a few Muslims boys playing football so a Muslim soldier (we call them terrorists because we don't like Muslims) fires a rocket at a Jewish village so the Jewish army send in a helicopter to blow up a Muslim market and the Muslims go and blow up a Jewish market...
and the plebs take sides. Why can't people see that until we stop killing each other there will never be peace. The people in power, both Jewish and Muslim, do not want peace. They are not stupid. They make their money from the fighting. All the shouts of "He started it" just sound like 10 year old boys fighting in the playground. They are both killing each others children and the fighting will not stop until those in power give peace a chance.
You get to use it only when to prove that you're actually you.
And that is the crunch. When do you have to prove who you are? When you go to vote? OK, then what is wrong with your Drivers licence? When you go for a test? You were invited to that test, so what is wrong with that letter of invitation? When the police stop you? Now you need to carry it all the time... When you want to fly? I have to carry my passport for all flights (even domestic) because I do not have an ID card. How about every time someone says that you have to prove you are not a communist? Sorry I mean terrorist (communist was the last bug bear). It is all wrapped up into the hype of government control. The government wants you to carry your number with you at all times. They might as well tattoo it on your arm, or has that been tried? Soon all your actions and opinions will be recorded so that all subversive opinions (like mine) can be cleaned away.
They are only doing this at Heathrow so any bad men can just hop on the shuttle bus and fly from Gatwick... Not any real inconvenience to the average terrorist but a big pain in the rear for Joe Public...
What a load of bolox. If you get a blowout on your front tyre at 125 mph you will swerve and may kill someone. If you download 8 Tb of mp3 you might die of boredom (victimless crime). Completely different.
Speeding is ILLEGAL and for a good reason. P2P is not illegal and there is no reason why it should be. As it is not illegal there is no good reason for enforcing a ban on it especially as there is no ban in force...
We are also those that grew up with cassette tapes and copied everything at college that anyone brought in. It was just an accepted part of life and nothing can convince me that it is now theft. The picture of the world has changed but those that live there have not noticed.
Just a tad over zealous here. I am a Mac user and I have switched to firefox because I prefer and I have re-themed it just for fun... but I do not see that idiotic idiot proofing is a good reason. The emphasis should be on the user to not click through 'Your paypel acunt need to by reaortotised' type links. Idiotic idiotproofing just creates better idiots who are more gullible when the next scam comes along because they start to seriously believe that it is someone else's responsibility to protect them.
It is your own responsibility to protect yourself.
Legalized theft is still theft. Legalized copying on the other hand is just copying.
Illegal copying is still just copying as well. Theft is taking someone else's property with the intention of permanently depriving them of said property.
The music companies do not want the public to have something that directly competes with them. They try to make file sharers out as thieves because they want to demonise the idea before the music producers start to use P2P instead of using the music companies. The vast majority of bands do not get any of the money that the record companies make. Yes, I know that you hear of the famous few that do get a share but the vast majority do not get anything and rely on concerts and tours. So the vast majority would do as well to drop the music company and deal direct with the public. That would result in the music companies losing the largest slice of their profit so they do not like us to have a piece of software that we know and use that can so easily threaten their business model.
To the band, P2P would get their music much more widely distributed and their gigs would be more popular. The bands could benefit a lot from the widespread use of P2P... The bands that cut their teeth on the acceptance of P2P would be more likely to go to to direct distribution via the web rather than going to the MAFIAA so their whole house of cards could collapse...
The only people to really benefit will be the lawyers, as usual. If they cut someone off mearly for suspicion then that is a breach of contract no matter what they say. You cannot have a contract that includes action under suspicion as it would be impossible to comply. It is not legal for a law to penalize someone just for suspicion (ECHR) so that would not be a defence. So one side is legally bound to break the law and the other side has good grounds to sue in order to get back any costs incurred in order to get another broadband connection. Lawyers are happy and it all ends up in the European courts who have already made it clear that they do not agree with this sort of thing. Stupid British government again...
any coffee shop worth spending any time in already has free wifi.
I am sitting in the coffee shop of the art gallery in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, using the free WiFi... Where is Starbucks? (O.K. we have got SB here but who needs it?). As you say, every decent coffee shop now has free WiFi...
When there was a supposed terrorist threat at Heathrow airport the British government sent in tanks... What good is a tank at an airport???
With all this harassing everybody, we have become the tools of the terrorists. Flying used to be fun. It was a happy start to a trip. Now it is a pain in the rear. I hate all the BS that I have to go through and most of it is just political BS where they want to show that they are doing something rather than want to do something to solve the problem. Good security has always been possible. When was the last time an Israeli plane was blown up? Do you really think they don't want to blow up Israeli planes? No, the Israelis have quietly and without a fuss been implementing good security since long before the twin towers were destroyed. So the US is crap at security and now the whole world has to suffer stupid and useless RFID passports and walking barefoot through terminals to make it look as if we are now doing something.
It does not help security in any way if I take my laptop out of my bag, the x-ray machine could see it just as well inside the bag. It is just a stupid hoop that we have to jump through like performing seals to make the plebs think that the government is doing something. Why can't we take a bottle of water with us on the plane? Has a plane ever been blown up with a bottle of water? No, all bombs so far have been solid and they are normally in the checked in luggage where you can have a bottle of water. It is just political smoke and mirrors to keep the plebs smiling and voting for the morons that lead them.
It is time that we stood up to the terrorists and said that we are not going live like scared rabbits. Let us have fun again. Yes we should x-ray all bags and we should arrive on time to have our bags checked etc. but drop the BS and let us live like free people.
20 years ago, I was traveling up through Sweden to Finland. I thought that it would be fun to do the return trip down the Russian side as there are a lot of places in the east that I wanted to visit. The paperwork was a nightmare and I decided against it. I have been wandering around the US and had a great time just going where I wanted. That is the sort of thing that I wanted to do in Russia, if I liked St Petersburg, stay a couple of weeks, if I didn't, move on...
A couple of years ago I dropped into Moscow and traveled up north. I am now allowed to travel around in a way that I am no longer allowed to travel around the US. Some irony there.
Speaking as someone that used to teach Computer Forensics to the SFO, British Customs, the USA's FBI etc (they now have their own courses). I can assure you that the first thing that was covered was disk imaging and that you should always work from the image. The original is evidence and any damage (read change) renders that evidence inadmisable. All you have to do is turn on and the OS is likely to make a change. This is taken to the degree of not using windows as the OS for imagining as windows likes to write to secondary drives when they are mounted. If you use Linux you can more easily mount as read only. It is best to make a couple of good primary images and then work from images of them rather than continually reverting to the original drive/s when you mess up so as to minimise the risk of damage and a lost case.
Vista is real competition to Linux and is therefore hated by the geeks. My friend has it running on his machine and instead of the usual stick in a disk and a while later you have a running system they have opted for the old-Linux style of fighting for weeks to get she right drivers working so that you are by this time so commited to it that you will fight to the death for your right to keep using it. There is no way that you will change after all that effort. Linux on the other hand has now taken the stick in a disk and a while later you have a running system approach and will soon be the domain of Grannies and children while Vista will be exclusively for the bit hardened geeks.

but off the top of my head I could mention marijuana prohibition as a policy that should probably be examined.
I have been examining this one for the past ten years and I think I have a solution...
Oooh, sorry I forgot it. Maybe some munchies will help...
Maybe it is time to start marketing better fitting ear buds for mp3 players that cut out this noise...
How about ear buds that cut out annoying background noises yet create their own annoying background noises...
