With all due respect "return the control of education to local school boards" will do nothing more than bring full-blown mental retardation back to the forefront of societal problems.
Especially in the deep South and other areas infested with crap-assed-christanity.
We NEED to have some standards. Maybe they can be hands-off like a standardized NATIONAL test that a student must pass to graduate, and everything before is up to the boards.
But school boards are the first inroad to all sorts of whack jobs that should not have any control over the future of our nation. Unless the rest of us can start air-dropping the human failures into war zones with instructions to come back with left hands of the enemy, creating your own little fiefdom of retardation in your local area inflicts massive pain and problems on the rest of us that actually give a shit about educating children.
Look in your settings moron. Every bit-torrent program I have ever used had throttling control on both upload and download, as well as "open connections" limits to keep your shitty equipment from bogging down.
Orbits are a combination of potential and kinetic energy. Depending on what orbit you are in, and what phase of the orbit you are in at the time those numbers will flip around being the predominant one.
So, depending on what you are doing, where you are now, and where you want to go you may have to do some counter-intuitive moves.
How much fuel is this thing going to have to hold to make tens of thousands of adjustments.
How much sensitivity does it have to have to actually get close to this stuff?
And, what if it screws up and gets tagged really hard. Orbital velocities of any object can smash just about any other object. What unobtanium is this thing going to be made of? A net? Are you fucking kidding? The stuff that can kill satellites is smaller than a grain of sand. If by "net" he means "bigass wall" then maybe. Plus, anything that is flexible (like a net) is going to be near impossible to move accurately. So it'll have to survive THOUSANDS of deployment and retraction cycles. They can't even get ONE FUCKING SOLAR PANEL to extend ONCE reliably for fucks sake.
It's a stupid idea, any one of the problems can make it a stupid idea, and there's dozens of problems with it.
They'd be MUCH better off just lifting lots of water and vaporizing it to produce drag on these objects so they fall in naturally on their own. If they do that from a NON orbital trajectory they might be able to catch a bunch of stuff easily.
It's pretty pathetic and negligent if the Patriot missile system was put online as an anti-missile system.
It wasn't that in the beginning. It's an anti-AIRRAFT system, for bombers no less, stuff that isn't changing direction quickly, and certainly isn't going over the speed of sound (not that Soviet shit anyway).
Missiles fly at a whole different speed category than manned aircraft, where this issue could get tested over and over and not have an impact on a hit.
If anything, this problem come from "retool old stuff for new purpose" and the accompanying difficulty, not from testing. The Patriot system worked well for it's _designed_ task. Unfortunately, hitting a ballistic missile is not in it's _designed_ task.
If you haven't noticed, intercepting a ballistic missile is not an easy task, or all that new-fangled stuff would have worked.
Everybody who isn't some sort of weirdo fanboi follows pretty much this process:
1) Establish desire to "get a movie"
2) Go to Video rental place or kiosk
3) Stare at selections, perhaps argue about what to watch, finally give up and just grab one.
4) Watch movie.
What is released when to the rental vs store does not enter into the equation. People that want to BUY movies want them for different reasons than those that RENT.
So, people won't notice, and also, it will not increase the number of people buying one bit. NOBODY goes to rent a movie and then buys it instead, they just rent whatever else happens to be there. The people that BUY will still get the movie for the same reasons they always did, on the same schedule they always did. Same for the renters. The Venn diagram of renter fulfillment vs buyer fulfillment has two non intersecting circles.
third degree felony if the person posts one or more messages on a social networking site with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten another person
LOL, by that standard, the entire fucking state of Texas should be arrested for the shit I see them say every day about the President. Don't mess with Texas!*
*And by "mess" we mean to consider a democratically and validly elected official office legitimate, and especially if you know, he ain't your kind of bigot.
Well, it IS technically true it can be sniffed. It's just packets after all.
What the packets contain, on the other hand, won't be available to the person who now has them without a lengthy and large amount of computing power applied to it, plus a great deal of luck.
Along with this thing, there are rapid fire weapon systems that can program a series of the shells to land at the same time using delayed trajectories and braking.
One gun will seem like 30 guns firing at once for area coverage.
All getting arrested means is someone on the scene thought a crime was committed. It could mean a big investigation occurred, it could mean some security guard saw something in the back seat of the guy's car.
Since he hasn't been named yet, it's sorta hard to tell between those options.
Was it legal for one person to look at one document from the library computer?
Was it legal for one person to sit there for hours and hours or days and look at many documents?
Was it legal for many people to log into many library computers and print the documents?
Then, it's legal for a Perl script to automate it.
JUST LIKE it's legal for all the other data aggregation that happens on the behalf of government and private business. Just because it's "easy" now, doesn't make it illegal, and relying on a lot of work being required to find data is not a good substitute for security.
Likewise, if the library computer had no business getting software on it, it should be LOCKED DOWN, or put on the DMZ.
Last time I checked, "running a Perl script" required either administrative access to install Perl, or that Perl was pre-installed. Just dumping a Perl script on an otherwise unprepared computer will get you staring at a code snippet in Notepad. In other words, it was deliberately set up to be capable of doing what it did, and bitching when someone uses it to it's designed capability is stupid.
In short, don't bitch because someone made something easy that used to be hard. The perceived difficulty doing the thing should not be thought of as a restriction because technology and cleverness will always find a way around. Learn it, live it, it will keep your data from getting ripped off some day.
If there were monetary restrictions on the documents, they are there because the repeated access of where they are takes a bit of effort. If someone does something like make those efforts not needed, that also eliminates the right for charging for those efforts.
All this public record shit should be up on torrents all over and seeded by everybody that can it should be extremely easy to find and view. Be wary of someone who seeks to limit your knowledge for they view themselves as your master.
It looks like you, "teknopurge" just don't like having someone else having this knowledge, who the fuck do you think you are anyway? Huh?
Judging by the number of AT&T Sales-shitheels cold calling my customers and trying to confuse them deliberately, no. AT&T must have plenty of extra capacity sitting around.
They would simply prefer that users use their minutes and do things that can get them charged more money, rather than using efficient asymmetric communication methods.
It breaks my heart just thinking about being in that situation. To love someone so much and for you to find out that they can't love you back... and what you thought were the most special moments of your life were all a lie.</blockquote>
There's a definite "cockroach infestation" smell that is hard to describe. It can be quite strong in really bad infestations.
Knowing the smell from other random smells you get in other people's living quarters can help you pick an apartment that doesn't come with "roommates".
This simply a lie. Those codes are not present in those manuals.
And note, the factory service manual typically costs quite a bit to get in print (100s) are hard to find, and unless you are an uneducated greasemonkey, or one of the obsessive people in the "club" for that car; it's unlikely that a friend will have one to borrow.
The security model of PHP in Windows is still pretty bad.
The default install of PHP can let a user put files in a web site that can compromise or infect the operating system.
Plus, a lot of third party add-ons for PHP want you to add "read/execute" to CMD.exe and put it in the PATH to the PHP services to piggy back their apps into working. Which, is well, stupid.
Maybe on Linux PHP is no harm to the OS, but on MS boxes that is not a safe assumption to make.
Fuck them. Seriously, let them go. LET it fail because it is GOING TO.
Know what, some bright person will come along and plunk down the new Napster that makes it all work again. Napster took an annoying itch and a bunch of half-starts and showed the world what was going to happen.
Yes, the rich sons of bitches that control all of it now won't anymore. But know what? Fuck em.
When I want fast, accurate (mostly) news I go to Fark, Slashdot, and several other places. If you weren't around here during 9/11, Slashdot had more information than any other site, and had more than the fucking feds did because we had moderated threads of people posting what they saw out their windows for the event. Somehow, someone will figure out how to make it work.
The only ones screaming are the ridiculously rich control freaks. So, again, fuck em.
It seems to me like the fact that it is illegal to record interaction with a police officer (and don't say it's not until you have actually done it and not gotten beaten/arrested) is way worse than interaction between individuals needing dual consent. INCLUDING just having a video of your own property with audio attached.
The state is not interested in your justice, just it's own.
Considering there is usually two or three TV channels with good maps and different radar systems, and radio and the internet (to get your own maps) anybody that gets bothered by false alarms is a bleeting moron.
Don't just go running to your basement without gathering more information. At least, take a radio so you can get more info. It's not the 1960s anymore people.
Never EVER rely on others for your own safety. Get as much information as you can and make YOUR OWN assessment. "Tornado Warning" for me means pay attention to the variety of sources at my disposal and know where the storms are. "Watch" means, "there might be rain close car windows".
Only once in the last 15 years have I decided to take shelter due to a tornado, and that one came on a bee-line through town and over my house. I watched it the whole way and spent 30 minutes in the basement total in that 15 years for sheltering reasons.
Otherwise, meh. Not a big deal, learn a few things about the weather dummies.
It is my opinion that folk who make this mistake will do so long before it becomes important for books.
Those people will put up pot-smoking in underwear pictures on Facebook or MySpace long before they have any political views worth anything. (At least to the _government_, let's face it, the librarians are worried about _governments_ with this information.)
Then, they will learn the hard lesson by being busted, denied a job, denied a slot in graduate school, or just basically ridiculed.
This will happen years before they get to the point where they might be a) reading interesting books b) that are on some "watch list".
With Google having the information, it's not as bad as one might think. Any jackass county sheriff or otherwise corrupt Barney Fyfe can walk into a library. While at this point the only government folk able to get much out of Google are the feds.
Either way, someone wanting to anonymously get information should use BitTorrent. There are TONS of books out there in PDF and other formats.

Yes, I know. Which makes it even more amusing when it's used by Texans in a different way.

Dunno. Manhattan sure seemed like an alien internment camp in MIB.
They were all refugees remember? Manhattan aliens had some sort of immunity from others due to political reasons.
