Also the requirements aren't static... ATF is currently working on rule changes that would require many users of explosives to rework their storage to meet more stringent requirements for bigger locks and such. For the explosives industry this is expensive for hobby rocketeers it can quickly become more expensive than its worth.
A nice idea... but the CCTLDs issued by ICANN to the various countries registrars, if ICANN can take down a.org name they could take down a.uk name too.... now why did the rest of he world want an independant ICANN again ?
I posted a link further up that suggests that a 1 kiloton explosion would register about 4.0.... so it sounds within the realms of possibility that they just fired off a bunch of conventional explosives.
Sounds like the yield was low from the information about yield vs richter scale i've found so far... of course I'm not a pysicist so I have to rely on other peoples information.
As I understand it the law isn't going to change anything, it doesn't redefine the type of wagers covered by the wire act. The only precedents involving the wire act and gambling relate to placiing bets on sporting events using the internet/telephone/telegraph/smoke signals etc. The government has not won a single case involving other types of wagers... indeed there is a ruling (I don't have the cite handy) which says that the wire act DOES NOT apply to casino style games PERIOD. Justice unsucesfully appealled this ruling.
Yeah... worse is paying for "Digital cable" service and then watching a picture with snow because the feed to comcast is analog and their dish isn't properly aligned.
Indeed. The US has the right to decide on which terms people can enter, regardless of how absurd or not they are. And the EU has the right set privacy laws for EU companies which of course they must follow.
The problem with that line of thinking is that we generally think it's a good thing for Americans to be able to travel freely. So we really can't demand any more from foreign nationals than we expect our people to go through when visiting other countries. Tourists and business visitors are generally considered to be good for the econmy, erect too many barriers and they won't come.
Ok - but we allow online lotteries and bets on horse races... both such markets are closed to foreign companies. That is the problem... that and the fact we didn't seek an exemption to the gambline related provisions when we signed the treaty, so as a sovreign nation we agreed to permit it.
In addition enforcing any ban on onine gambling is in violation of our WTO trade obligations (an organization we invented). We agreed to allow international trade in gambling services years ago and only relatively recently tried to claim that we didn't mean to sign up for that. International treaties are second only to the constitution it terms of legal standing, so our obligations cannot be changed by our own statutes.
Online betting on sporting events is illegal in the US. Casino games currently are not illegal to play online. Go research it, the case that decided this was appealed all the way to the supreme court I believe.
The only reason for the protective gear is to stop you from breathing in small pieces of the marerial - this is usually more a problem with spent fuel or if you're machining it to make a bomb.
The base station regularly sends a signal to the mobile which is echoed back to base and, based on the time taken, the mobile is instructed to advance or retard transmission. Any signals that arrive after the maximum time limit are ignored as being foreign to the cell. For this reason, if there is not another cell to hand the signal on to, the signal drops out at the boundary.
Cell towers are built with that in mind... there's little use being able to transmit to a phone if you can't hear it's reply - That's just wasting power. The timing thing is for real, it's how the cell tower knows that you are outside it's designated area.
Time beomes the issue... cell towers are designed to have a fixed range... say 1 mile for example. Your phone will not be able to register with the tower if the rount-trip-time is longer than for the maximum intended range of the tower. I've been out at several miles off the coast with full signal strength but no service because I was too far away to register on the network.
Agreed. How many times do you get phone calls in a month from companies you do business with offering to sign you up for automatic payments if you just give them your bank acount info... I know these aren't phishing scams but I don't sign up on principle... I don't give my information to people who call me.
Yes but the system operates the way it does for the convenience of the banks... in return for that convenience they have to cover some bogus transactions out of their pockets... they're obviously still making money.
Should it really be possible to drain somebody's account using only their account number & routing number ? Both of those pieces of information are available to anybody you give a check to for a start. Now tell me this isn't a security issue.
Yes photos are stored as ipod sized versions of the ones in Iphoto - you do have the option to copy the full resolution originals to the Ipod but it's not required.

Mailscanner is an excellent spam/virus/web bug scanning tool. It can be set to disarm iframe tags, block phishing emails and many other cool things.
The plaintiff is still required to state a valid claim.
The same argument probably goes for .org too ... ICANN doesn't host the entire domain on it's servers.

From here: a one killoton explosion is equivalent to about 4.0. Maybe it was just a butt load of dynamite and not nuclear at all.

But then somebody would install linux on it.
