If you're going to murder thousands of civilians because of where they happen to live or work, you're a crazy person, I don't care what the so-called justification is.
They aren't freedom hating, they'd want to be as free as the west, but that's not going to happen due to the comingling of church and state. Once you start to say "it's illegal to do this because a man in a giant hat says an invisible person living in the clouds says it makes ghosts angry" then you've lost all attempts at reason.
The people that flew those planes believed with every cell in their body that they were going to go to paradise to be greeted by the Big Man in the Sky Himself and be rewarded with 72 virgins. (Jokes: I'd prefer 8 pros / I hope you brought polyhedral dice and character sheets / Programming for eternity? I think that's hell, sir.) Now, I'm not religious, I've just read a couple of the text, and as far as I know they're all pretty clear on the "shalt not kill" thing.
He looked like his kids had been killed, and I suppose they were. He was talking about how it was actually designed to withstand the impact of a 707, which was the biggest plane at the time. Building it to withstand a 747 would have been the equivalent of designing to withstand the impact of the Space Shuttle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid there's been a serious misunderstanding.
"The United States of America is the most powerful nation that has ever existed on this planet. Our citizens spend more on the opening weekend of a movie than the GDP of 40% of the planet. We provide aid in the billions to countries all over the world. We have been to the moon. We can destroy any part of this earth as easily as drinking a cup of coffee.
*sips coffee*
"This was the master stroke by a group of madmen who wish to murder civilians in the name of god. We will not be going to war to punish those who have the misfortune of being near these madmen. We know who they are, we know where they are, and will will bring them to justice here in the USA to face murder charges. If they are found guilty in a court of law, they face the death penalty in New York county.
"In the meantime, we will show you what is meant by 'the most powerful nation on earth'. By the end of this year, we will rebuild those towers and your master stroke will be gone. Yes, those who were murdered are gone from this earth, and we grieve for their loss. But we are America, and we have faced tougher challenges before. You cannot attack us because we will always return, we will never forget, and we will never surrender.
And TPB has legitimate purposes. I've watched several free movies like Pioneer One and The Yes Men Fix the World, as well as free music like Blalock's IRP, an album from an artist named Sosa that I've never heard of before, and all kinds of things.
Don't get me wrong, that's a small minority of the links up there (since it doesn't host any files, duh) but it's not all links to pirated material.
You and me both. I mean, I like Wallace and Grommit as much as the next guy, but it shouldn't be every movie and HD show.
When I went to buy my HDTV, I was wondering if everyone else was unable to see the effects, or if it was just me. A setup with Blu-Ray and HDTV is like watching a slideshow. It's jittery as fuck. (I found the Panasonic Viera series has a good picture, so if you're still looking for one, check out one of those.)
I'm not talking about aliasing on LCD (which makes my mind boggle as to why anyone would buy those, but that's a different point.)
When you're executing someone you're only taking their life.
When you violate someone's constitutional rights, that's a crime worse than murder. It is taking away the human rights that we're all entitled to and deciding that your profits, your business, and nebulous "threats" are a reason to go through the trash and history of every single person that has never been accused of a crime.
It's better to have a bomb attack every day -- even on my house -- than to give ISPs the ability to be immune from lawsuits, to share my private data, and to allow the government to decide that you know what, warrants are a pain in the ass after all.
Those are not the actions of a democratic government, or even a republic. If they aren't ready to put the integreity of the constitution ahead of their meagre lives, then yeah, that's treason. And the US is at war. Hang 'em up in from of the Capitol as a warning to the others.
He's going to get jumped, that's what's going to happen.
On 9/11, the attitude of the passengers was, "all right, I'll sit back, relax, and get a trip to Cuba, then retire after a fat emotional distress lawsuit against the airline. Fuckin' A." This was perfectly justifiable at the time.
It'll never happen again. You pull a gun on a plane, the 10th, 11th, etc person are going to kick your ass. You pull out a bomb, people are going to assume that they're dead already and they have nothing to lose by rushing you. Look at Flight 93 -- that's what's going to happen if you try to hijack a plane. You're going to fail your mission and you won't be remembered as a martyr.
The wireless didn't work until I patched it, I had to work out how to fix the Fn keys with the voria ppa, and it took a year for trackpad functionality to be anywhere near usable.
Okay, this feature has its use. Let's say Beardo works for the city for 15 years and puts a password on all the light controllers. That's only sane, right? You don't want some asshole changing the light pattern so they get a green light every morning at 7:43 when they're on their way to work or disabling the first-responder receiver.
Let's also assume that Beardo got passed over for a raise AGAIN and decided, "okay, that's it, I'm leaving." Five years later they have to change the timing for some reason, let's say more traffic at the intersection or something, and Beardo is nowhere to be found. He's got a new job in Bermuda and you'll never hear from him again. (I actually did have a co-worker get a job in Bermuda and to this day I am unable to determine if he is alive or dead.)
Or let's just say Beardo forgot the password. "Oh, I think it was a seven-digit prime number... I don't think I wrote that down anywhere..."
You've got to either find the password or send the unit back to the factory to get it reset to the blank factory default (automation direct will do this) People forget passwords. I'm sure once we switch to biometrics people will forget their thumbs or something.
HOWEVER this feature should require some kind of dongle from the manufacturer or some kind of wetwork. Well, then I guess the exploit then becomes "anyone with $175 to buy a NRD-1298 from Rugged can run a Perl script". Even if there was a master password list in the factory then someone could break in or bribe their way into the system. Maybe this password should only work on a direct link like the serial port.
What I guess the company could have done is add the PO number or customer number to the MAC address and then use a more robust password generator to figure it out. I'm not entirely sure what they could do to make it a secure way of getting into your legitimately owned, but inadvertently locked, machine.
Hell, if you get two keys for a master-locked system you can narrow down the master key to one of 17 possibilities. We don't go around telling people that their doors aren't going to work.
Also, I hate to mention this, but I've said it before, the military uses weaponry to enforce their system security. If you're sitting on a rowboat with a parabolic dish, the frigate is going to shoot bullets at you.

I agree with you, that building was fucking BUILT. On its last day it did an admirable job of staying up way beyond spec.

Did you see the interview with the architect?

I was thinking the same thing just a half second before I read your post.
Just don't get an Italian captain.
Great, then we'd end up with a Nicea distro as well.
You can search google for filetype:torrent FFS.
And TPB has legitimate purposes. I've watched several free movies like Pioneer One and The Yes Men Fix the World, as well as free music like Blalock's IRP, an album from an artist named Sosa that I've never heard of before, and all kinds of things.

Just don't break any traffic laws and you'll be fine.
Well, I've got a HD player that matches my TV (both Panasonic) and with the 1080p 24f mode on it's still jittery.
I'm not talking about ghosting. What I'm seeing is the independent frames.
Oh shit, warn them about Germany.
I wouldn't be surprised, I didn't play those though.
You and me both. I mean, I like Wallace and Grommit as much as the next guy, but it shouldn't be every movie and HD show.

I'm not talking about aliasing on LCD (which makes my mind boggle as to why anyone would buy those, but that's a different point.)
The first 2 Fallout games would do this. If an NPC got wounded, they would run away.
That's why the rest of the world calls it "The American Fall".
(The rest of the world calls the season "Autumn.")
Actually it is.

It's a Samsung NF-210.
The wireless didn't work until I patched it, I had to work out how to fix the Fn keys with the voria ppa, and it took a year for trackpad functionality to be anywhere near usable.
Other than that, no, no functionality issues.
Perhaps by "beautiful swan" they mean the coked out, starving, bleeding, hallucinating swan portrayed by Natalie Portman.
I've been using Unity on my netbook for a little more than a year now.
Unity was never my problem with the OS, and I've enjoyed it.
Solder in a jumper or resistor.
Right, which means anyone with a pair of overalls can change the light controller.
Okay, this feature has its use. Let's say Beardo works for the city for 15 years and puts a password on all the light controllers. That's only sane, right?

Their website had a default password, sorry, couldn't help myself.
Give it two weeks and you'll have a plethora of hacks that can make your Samsung... well, yours.
