I'm thinking that you in fact have a very low understanding of Iranian politics. Otherwise you would know that the Iranian President only wields so much of the power. The real seat of power rests with the Supreme Leader, for now this is Ayatollah Khamenei. Mousavi isn't a moderate as far as such terms may apply but he is way closer to the center than Ahmadinejad. The likely successor of Ayatollah Khamenei, if the revolution succeeds, would be Ayatollah Montazeri. Who is pro-Democracy, pro-Human Rights and one of the biggest proponents of women and civil rights for ALL Iranians, including much-maligned minorities like the Baha'is. In fact he goes further than the protections afforded to them under Sharia. He would be the one calling the shots.
Those mischievous denizens over at 4chan have apparently managed to throw up over 9000 proxies and waged a very effective series of denial of service attacks against the Iranian government. Somebody send those guys some Redbull and Cheetos!
A) Yes you are overreacting B) This is pretty easy to fix
As a parent in a city with 36 different schools and countless buses I know what you mean. But there is no reason to tag your little girl. All buses look alike, big yellow with numbers on the side. To make things easy and to avoid duplicate numbers from different bus providers they put a picture in the bus window on colored paper. So your kid might ride bus "Blue Hammer", So obviously the sign is on blue paper with a big picture of a hammer. If your kid manages to get on the wrong bus with that system, either they are not paying attention or they might need that "special" bus.
Excuse me, but it isn't a secret when EVERYONE already knows guys. If you didn't know, you must have missed the news regarding all of the construction at the house when Dick was in residence. All of the neighbors complaining about the round the clock heavy equipment use making the ground shake. That is when everyone was saying that they were probably expanding/renovating the bunker under the house.
I disagree. In my office our Customer Service Reps use both IE and Firefox. Every single one of them uses a minimum of 6 tabs in Firefox all day long. Not a single one of them is a technical person.
My non-technical 60 year old parents don't seem to have a problem with figuring out tabbed browsing either. Come to think about it mt 85 year old grandmother who is slightly crazy even uses tabs in IE.
Well the problem with calculating the averages should honestly be enough to get this tossed. The defense can put up an exhibit with a set of numbers using the flawed methodology which shows a person to be over the limit. Then call an expert witness with a math degree, or an accountant for that matter. Show that the average when calculated normally is below the the legal limit. Even better is if you can show that the machine has calculated an average that falls below the legal limit but should have been above. That would show the device to be a public safety hazard for clearing persons who are actually impaired.
I live in Minnesota, I do not gamble online, but this is as stupid as it gets. There are a small handful of Indian Casinos in the state. Pressure from the tribes maybe? It just can't be "for the children". Guess I need to start making a few calls and sending a few emails.
Clearly not written by anyone who is very familiar with the graphics requirements of games like Crysis or Farcry 2. Can you run these games on a budget card? Yes. Is it possible to enjoy those games at a lower resolution or frame rate? Quite possible. Can either of those titles be enjoyed at their maximum potential? No
There are plenty of idiots who say bigger this, bigger that == bigger e-peen. That is really just stupid. There is a large segment of the gaming population who actually enjoy playing their games in the way the designers intended. Using physix, anti-alliasing, etc to achieve a full cinematic effect.
This goes for any enthusiast niche market. You have your audiophiles, your car guys, musicians, and artists, the list goes on. Why does a musician want a certain amp or guitar? Is it because he wants his peen to go to 11?
Maybe our government should start sponsoring patriotic groups of our own in the same way that China does. Instead of treating misguided young hackers as hardened criminals, give them a free pass to operate outside of our borders. Send them a case of Red Bull and a job offer in a few years. Sounds fair to me.
Why do people not just drop the traffic from these harbors of hostile activity? Even if a cracker was located outside of China and using TOR or something similar to route through China, drop them at the last mile. This will provide at least a small amount of relief. I am sure somebody will respond to that idea with "well they would just use local zombies then". Yes, but dealing with hostile intent on your own soil is much easier to deal with than trying to shut down a connection on foreign soil. Can anyone come up with a reason that doing this on and government network/resource shouldn't be a standard practice? Does anyone in China have a legitimate reason for going to a DoD/FBI/NSA/Military network presence? Nope, not really. Should anyone care if somebody in Hong Kong cannot get to the NYPD website? Nope, not really. Sorry if this sounds a bit extreme but come on, when somebody is able to siphon off terabytes of stolen data on one of the most expensive military projects ever, measures need to be taken.
If I were the IT Director for the NYPD I would be hard pressed not to just drop all traffic from China. Or for that matter half a dozen other popular sources of malicious activity. If you really must have the website for the NYPD open to these other countries then put it on a standalone network segregated from anything important. I mean duh...
Well considering the number of litigious parents these days is it really surprising that a school would opt to have the authorities handle the situation? The girl was being disruptive and refusing to stop texting. If the teacher were to attempt to physically remove the student that surely would have ended poorly. So when the school security person confronts the student, the student denies everything and hides the phone in her pants. The school staff clearly cannot have her drop her pants. So the situation becomes a "he said she said" type situation. Once again contacting the authorities seems reasonable to me at that point. If she were simply suspended we would be reading about how her parents are complaining to the school Board about the teacher and other staff and how they violated their child's rights, then come the lawyers. As a taxpayer, consider the time and your tax money wasted that would be wasted defending against that. Money that is needed to buy books, fund after school activities, or pay the salaries of the people who educate our kids. Does it really sound so unreasonable at that point?
No basis to search the girl? You should really read the article. She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Hate to break it to you sport, but you get frisked anytime you get arrested.
All of the new Adobe CS4 collection of applications "phone home" now and here is why.
The license allows two installs of an application, based on concurrent use, for example Photoshop could be installed on your workstation and on your laptop with the understanding that you are only using one of them at a time. This is very common. Most applications simply force a registration of the serial number and only allow X number of activations, i.e. Microsoft Office. What Adobe does is check how many machines have that serial installed on it and if you attempt to activate a third it will tell you that you have exceeded the number allowed and that you must deactivate one of the other installs. The software makes it easy to deactivate itself so you can reinstall elsewhere. The silly part is that Adobe sets an entry in your hosts file pointing to activation.adobe.com or something close to that.
If you install the software the first time with your computer disconnected from the internet and change that host file entry to 127.0.0.1 and then reconnect to the internet it will not be able to call home and will assume it is installed on a machine that is not connected to the internet.
The solution is rather simple, the Mk-38 25MM Autocannon. In international waters these vessels have every right to defend themselves against pirates. This unit is widely used by the military and is very easily attached to all sorts of ships would provide a nice deterrent. The rate of fire and range are more that sufficient to keep many craft at a distance. And not only are they easy to maintain, simple to use, but fun as heck to use.
I have used this combination at two jobs now, it supports multiple offices and also has LDAP integration if you wanted to hook it up with Active Directory. There are also a handy assortment of plugins available.
Would it help if the keyboard was lined with oh I don't know...tinfoil perhaps? Or use a plastic with soft iron embedded into it? I mean I am just spit balling here, but this shouldn't be that hard to reduce emissions on.
For the record I am a Republican, and yes I will admit I voted for GWB twice (get over it).
When asked Mac or PC McCain responded "Neither I am an illiterate when it comes to computers and I rely on my wife for that". This has absolutely nothing to do with broken arms or the ability to type. The man admitted he just plain doesn't use computers. I might note that I haven't seen the Obama ad you are referring too, I took my comments from an interview of the candidates.
Your attempt to justify his clear lack of grasp of the technology that is around him and which is pervasive in the daily lives of most Americans on his captivity 30 years ago is astounding by the way.

If this is the flavor of stupid being put out by respect think tanks I would hate to see what the less respected tanks are churning out.

Really sounds like tooth whitening gel to me. Some of those procedures use high energy light to excite the peroxide which speeds up the process.

Did your brother ride the "special" bus by chance?
Well considering I have the retail box for my copy of the suite sitting on my desk in front of me you can keep your assumptions to yourself thanks.
I was simply answering the person's question. But if you want to go that way, here you go.
FIND /C /I "activate.adobe.com" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I think you should really go read that again. The AC below hit the nail right on the head.
Free programs are sometimes distributed gratis, and sometimes for a substantial price.
Notice where it says "programs". You are confusing "free speech" and "free beer".
You should visit GNU and read up a bit.
Actually we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.
