I know what you're thinking... did he launch 5 TCP XMAS scans, or 6. Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. So you've got to ask yourself a question: do you feel lucky? Well do you, punk?
Chili fips through the script a moment . . .
CHILI: You know how to write one of these?
BO CATLETT: There's nothin' to know. You have an idea, you write down what you wanna say. Then you get somebody to add in the commas and shit where they belong, if you aren't positive yourself. Maybe fix up the spelling where you have some tricky words . . . although I've seen scripts where I know words weren't spelled right and there was hardly any commas in it at all. So I don't think it's too important. Anyway, you come to the last page you write in 'Fade out' and that's the end, you're done.
CHILI: That's all there is to it, huh?
BO CATLETT: That's all.
Chili sits forward, stabs out his cigarette, exhales into Bo Catlett's face . . .
CHILI: Then what do I need you for?
Of course it wasn't! Have you ever had to work a CLI like this?

If you REALLY wanted some fancy shit, try a diamond paste. Diamond is like 2000+ W/mK. Really good at transfering heat. (No, I don't know if anyone actually makes the stuff).
Interestingly (at least to me) I just read a magazine article on sharpening plane irons and chisels, and one method is to use diamond paste on a flat, hard piece of maple. A quick search on google shows that it can be purchased pretty easily, for example here.
I have no idea whether this would be appropriate for use as heatsink compound, but maybe someone at overclockers.com or elsewhere sees this and tries it out.
I'd argue that they were only partly to blame for ruining the credit histories of all those people. Some liability must be given to the credit card companies and credit history maintainers as well.
And the rape victim should accept some of the blame for being a woman?
Let's face it - it's easy to break a window to get into a house. Should we therefore blame window manufacturers for the burglaries in our neighborhoods?
It's time we started expecting people to take responsibility for their own actions - the criminals in the article took the actions they did on their own. That it was easy or hard for them to commit their crime does not lessen the impact of their deeds.
It's too bad you've been modded up as funny so far - you've nailed the issue.
I'd be willing to bet that most Americans would choose to put away criminals like those in this article for much longer sentences than they would choose to put away marijuana pushers, if ever give na direct choice.
Regrettably, most of our politicians, DAs, and judges don't have the backbone to rethink our drug policies.
I'm getting off-topic, clearly, but the point is that if they had locked these guys up for 20 years, it wouldn't have seemed like too long to me.
By the time investigators broke the case, Massey and his partner in crime, a computer whiz named Kari Melton, had ruined hundreds of people's credit. A judge sentenced them to prison in 2000; Melton was released in 2001, Massey the next year.
Given the amount of turmoil, headache, as well as real monetary loss these crimes must have caused, it's amazing to me that they each spent less than two years locked up.
I'd argue that was nothing but a slap on the wrist, and not much of a deterrent to future fraudsters.
Atrus is too humble - IRM absolutely rocks! We implemented IRM this summer for our smallish school district (1100 computers, 3 techs) and it has been a godsend. Not only is it more geared towards hardware issues than the numerous bug tracking solutions available, the fact that it is written in PHP for use on a MySQL database system make it easy to extend the usefulness of the data. I've begun writing reports for my own internal use, as well as reports for our school principals to let them know what we have been doing on their sites.
I've even (shhh, don't let this get out) played around with using an ODBC connector to the MySQL db and then using Access to generate reports. I've since seen the error of my ways and am now doing everything in PHP (with GD for pretty charts), but it is nice to have a system that's so open to options.
Hmmmm. There are certain in-game populations (Hindus, for example) that do apparently have do-over capabilities. Perhaps you've simply chosen the wrong alignment?
"So small that it can drop a sugar cube into your cup of coffee."
A full-scale CH-53D could do this as well. Of course, instead of trying to maneuver the bird into position to drop one cube into your coffee, it'd probably just dump 6.35e05 cubes of sugar onto and around your cup of coffee, which, while not terribly useful, would look pretty damn cool.
The only challenge in California would be if you decide to sue in Small Claims Court, which would be pretty likely as you're going to be going after at most $1500 per violation.
California requires you to serve the other party in the state - if they're in Nevada, you can't serve them, and therefore you can't sue them in small claims.
If you have a big enough case to justify higher level courts, you can server outside of the state.
Be warned its a very large pair of binoculars (12" long) and thus is hard to hold steady sometimes, but its got a very wide field of view being only 11x zoom, but personally I like being able to see the very sharp, very bright images that this pair of binoculars lets me see.
While looking around at some of the links from this/. article (I *really* want to build my own telescope now:), I came across the following page - one of these plus the binos you and others have suggested might be just the ticket for us astro-newbies: Building an aluminium binocular mount.
Inflammatory commentary aside, Dynamat works exactly as designed.
What you must realize, though, is that Dynamat is not designed to reduce noise. It is designed, like so many other car audio products, to separate fools from their money.
If the AV vendors are going to be able to keep any credibility that they have left, they are going to have to detect and block this type of software.
I disagree. If a user chooses to install software, no matter how vile, it is not up to a 3rd-party to determine that they don't have that choice. This is not a virus, or a worm, or a trojan. It clearly states in the EULA exactly what it is going to do. It is evil, bad, wrong, and likely fattening, but perfectly legal software that a user is given the chance to avoid.
All that said, I personally have made the choice for all of my users and blocked access to the site at our border routers:)

Here you can donate your CPU cycles to help discover a cure for cancer. If that's not a noble cause, no telling what is.
I will admit there's some irony in my being a member of the alt.smokers.pipes team for this though:)
Looks like the judge agreed that the site was meant as a joke, even if he did end up cashing in - good for him, but I don't think I'll go into business being out of work:)

And we should, of course, base all of our decisions on what the media considers interesting.

You're halfway there - I envision a 100,000km vertically scrolling marquee!
