The state court has no obligation (under federal law) to permit you to enter at all. The state offers to permit you to enter, if you agree not to bring any weapons (and possibly agree to some other terms)
I suppose you feel that someone who has been convicted by a state of violating that states laws still has a constitutional right to 'bear arms' when he is interred in a state prison?
The people creating flyers and forms in a Word Processor (or at the very least, sending them to you in a Word Processor format) are idiots. If you cant get them to use something more appropriate, at least point them at the (free) methods of producing a PDF directly. Or heck, have them install a 'generic postscript printer' with print-to-file setup, and send you that, which ps2pdf will handle trivially.
The sound card drivers in Linux are GPL'd, as are the video drivers. The kernel is GPL'd. This will not change. So I say bring on the DRM enabled players. If the audio plays on linux, a soundcard driver that saves the raw digital audio can be made (if it isnt as simple as temporarily replacing the/dev/dsp device node with a regular file). And while more complex, the same thing can be done for video.
Regardless of wether the sign mentions it or not, I guarantee you that the actual law that prohibits weapons specifically only prohibits their possesion by ordinary citizens who are not 'officers of the court' or members of law enforcement.
Nextel phones seem to be notorious for this - also, its not just pc speakers, tv's, radios, standard wired phones - if there is a nextel phone around when using one of these, you will usually hear interference.
There is nothing you can buy from Dell that you cant build a less expensive, more standard, and more reliable version of from parts you can buy from newegg.
Yeah, that would be nice if that were true. But as I found out on one sad day, that applied only to the Federal government - only agencies of the fed were prohibited from using it for anything except Social Security. It has absolutely no effect on state governments, or private businesses.
And for the record, you are never required to give your SSN to a business. Unfortunately, they are not required to do business with you, either. And nothing prohibits them from choosing wether to do so based on wether you give them your SSN.
If you will read more closely, you will see that the 'no weapons' provision applies to weapons except for 'official purposes', which would apply to, say, police officers, since its their official duty to enforce the law.
No, this isnt phishing. However, it could make it easier for a criminal to better target their phishes.
Lets saw a person gets a phish email purporting to be from Chase bank, and they dont have an account with them - its easy for even an idiot to recognize that as a phish. But lets say a clever phisher uses the info FL has released, and sends a phish from a bank that the person does have an acct with, and lets say they even include their full name and the last 4 of their SSN. Now that person may be more easily duped into revealing more sensitive info (PINS, passwords) that the phisher doesnt already have.
The traffic jam is due to the cumulative effect of everyone being in the left lane when they should be in the right. If everyone stayed right except whem passing, jams would be greatly minimized.
I'm going to ignore the rest of your post, since its not relevant to what I said.
I'll leave you with this, and then I'm going to ignore any further responses from you - why don't you observe what trucks (and I mean semis, not oversize pickups and delivery vans) do (EXCEPT when they are specifically directed by constructions signs otherwise, eg when the right lane is on a shoulder) - you will notice that they always pass on the left, and that they pretty much always remain in the right lane except when passing, or turning left, etc. Try passing semis on the right, or drive along to the left of one without passing for a time - you'll find that all the semis in your path for quite a few miles ahead will 'conveniently' be slowly (and by that I mean 'slower than you want to travel') passing one another, and you will be stuck behind, able to pass on neither side.
Because I follow convention. I pass on the LEFT. If you are in the leftmost lane, the to go around you on the left, I would have to drive on the left shoulder. If we were both in the right, then it would be my place to change lanes to the left to pass you. But if we are in the leftmost lane, there are no further lanes to the left to change into.
Maybe a road where everyone drives on whichever side they want, and everyone is in everyone else's way is your idea of a good drive, but mine is one where everyone follows the same convention, especially when those conventions make sense, and allow for everyone to get where they are going.
And if your braking when I am behind you on the left is legal, so is my braking if I am ahead of you on the right. And its also more in keeping with the convention (wether you accept it or not) where traffic should pass on the left, NOT on the right. In fact if someone feels the need to brake, they SHOULD get in the right lane first. Braking in the left except in an emergency is just plain wrong (well, unless there is a jackass ahead of you blocking the passing lane)
And again, you seem more concerner about your legal right to be a jackass, then the fact that if there were less jackasses like you, there would be less traffic jams.
After all, your legal right to do something trumps any concept of cooperation and convention. It is CONVENTION to drive on the right, and to stay out of the left lane except when passing. Beyond that, there ARE laws in some states supporting that.
I applaud your ability to consider your right to flaunt convention and get in other people's way to be more important than making traffic flow better, and cooperating so everyone can get where they are going. (And for the record, I'm not a hippocrite either - if I am in the left passing other traffic and someone comes up behind me, I speed up and finish my pass to get out of their way)
2. That would give bogus time to all his legit users, too.
My solution would be to setup a new name for his legit users, and then contact them all and have them switch (and then once they have change the old name to point at 127.0.0.1 or something), and even though that might take some time, its the best he can do.
Yeah, just like spam email, the junk fax CID is set to some random number, which you can blacklist, but the next junk fax will have another random CID. Blacklisting CID is as useless as blacklisting spam by sender email address (blacklisting spam by IP is more useful because spammers cant as easily forge the physical IP they are connecting from)
The cost of receiving junk faxes may be more obvious to individuals and businesses, but don't be fooled into think email spam doesnt cost money. AOL estimated once that half of its total email bandwidth was spam - just imagine AOL's total bandwidth bill, and take half that. It amounts to quite a bit more than 'nothing'.
Not to mention all the extra servers, storage space, extra wages paid to employess to design and implement anti-spam systems (or the costs to outsource it), to clear customers mailboxes that are too full of spam for them to download over their dialup, to clear out the mailserver queues clogged with undeliverable spam and spam bounces, not to mention replies to spam from clueless customers.
Junk email certainly does have a cost, im money, as well as time and hassle (Heck 'time is money')
Thats definitely a good idea, but it doesnt address the 'your fax line is busy receiving a junk fax so the important fax you do want cant get through' problem.
And if changing lanes is 'work' to you (Im not talking about bumper to bumber traffic here, Im talking about open road), then perhaps a re-evaluation of your physical qualifications to drive is in order.
High beams are a fairly well-understood means of communicating 'get out of the PASSING lane'. If having your high beams on was equivalent to attempted homicide, there'd be a damn lot more people in jail then there are.
Also, I wasnt referring to *my* being late for something, I was referring to *YOU* being late for something. I hope *YOU* are late for something, and get stuck behind someone with your obnoxious self-righteous attitude about the left lane. And you can leave early all you want - a sufficient number of assholes blocking the left lane can still easily make you late to where you may need to speed in an attempt to get there even close to 'not late'. In fact, I hope there is an entire convention of 'Im going to drive in the left lane and fuck you' right when you are in a hurry to get somewhere, and they all decide to get on the road right ahead of you, along with a convention of 'Im 90 and I still have the right to drive, and I'm going to do 45 in the right lane just to spite you' folk, so that what might be a 20 minute drive turns into two hours (good thing you left 15 minutes early, you'll only be an hour and a half late)
And the right lane is specifically NOT for passing. If someone is to pass you, they accomplish that by overtaking you, moving to the LEFT, proceeding past you, and then returning to the right. 'Passing' is by definition something one does to the left, except perhaps in England, but a more general definiton would be the 'inside' lane, which would apply regardless of which side of the road your country drives on. And I'll add this, you damn well wont be passing me on the right. If there is a jackass ahead of me in the left moving along slowly who refuses to get right, I will move to the right, but will NOT go past on the right, but neither will I drop back. You can come up behind him, and decide wether to remain stuck behind him, or scream at him to get out of the passing lane, becuase you will damn sure not be passing him on the right - there will be room for him to get right in front of me, but not room for you to get between us.
If you are in the leftmost lane, you are blocking traffic from passing you. If you remain in the leftmost lane intentionally (as opposed to ignorantly), then you are a jackass, plain and simple. And wether I wish evil on you or not, eventually your karma will catch up with you. (And I dont mean the/. kind)
1. Fog lights are amber or orange, never white - they are also aimed down toward the road, never up into other drivers faces. 2. Turn your headlights (low beams) always, anytime your car is moving. 2b. When your car is NOT moving, turn OFF your headlights, especially if your car is aimed anywhere oncoming traffic might be. Keep your PARKING lights on though, if you like. 2c. Dont move your car anywhere outside a parking lot if only your parking lights are on. (Your 'running lights' are your headlights - the other setting which has just marker lights are the 'parking lights', not 'running lights') 3. 'Off road' 'driving' lights (eg any white light beyond the factory-brightness pair of standard headlights) are for use only 'Off road' 4. There is no such thing as 'On road' 'driving' lights - except for your factory-brightness single pair of standard factory-installed headlights.
Also, I hope someday when you are late for your job, wedding, 2nd lobotoby, or some other critically important event to you, that you find yourself stuck besides another jackass like yourself, thats driving along in the left lane and refuses to let you pass.
After all, its all about fucking everyone else over, right? It wouldnt ever make sense to share the road and allow other people to get by you, right? You have to be first, even if it means blocking other traffic, right? Even if all it took was 3 seconds for you to get in the right lane without even slowing down to let them by, its all about fucking everyone else over.
Forget my previous wish about the sign in your windshield. I hope someday you are in the left lane, refusing to pass, and a huge semi comes up from behind you, and the driver has a seizure that causes him to stomp the gas, and becuase you think its your personal mission from $diety not to let him pass, you hold your ground and get completely creamed, and go skidding off the road directly into a 'KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS' sign, which goes through your windshield and decaptitates you.
I wasnt so much talking about law (except in cases where the laws do specifically require those), but the common sense rules of the road that suggest the roads are for everyone to share, and that its obnoxious, rude, and dangerous to ignore them.
Ah then, I will put my high beams on you until I suspect you may decide to slam on the brakes, then I will sidegate you on the right, which means I will maintain a position directly behind you, pacing you exactly, neither passing you on the right (which is incorrect) nor letting anyone else pass you on the right. That way I allow a line of angry traffic build up behind you, and you can choose to slam you brakes and get rear ended, or move over into the space in the right lane I am holding open for you. If you ever finally get the hint and do that, then I will pass you after the other traffic does, and I will then return to the right lane. If you've pissed me off enough, I may even slam my brakes on in front of YOU, but in the right lane (and if you hit me then YOUR insurance company will repair MY vehicle)
JACKASS! Next time you drive by a sign that says 'KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS', I hope the wind blows it off its mountings and it smashes through your windshield.

Most of them forge it. And while that is also probably illegal, good luck identifying the sender to bring action against them.
