Trump just agreed that it's okay for everyone to not file the reports they were already not filing. This is a non-story that shouldn't have garnered any attention or discussion.
Eh. You know the saying about how everyone commits around 3 felonies per day just because it's impossible for any one person to know the whole internally-conflicted canon of contradictory laws? This is the federal government version of that. Eliminating it is good.
"Hey, person I want to fire, did you complete the Y2K analysis for that project?"
"No... nobody's bothered with that crap in years."
"Aw, so sad. I'll have to note that on your performance review."
Can you expand on this please? Why is the velocity cubed?
Not that I know anything about this stuff, but it seems like water should have more energy. 1,000Kg/m^3 for water compared to like 1.25Kg/m^3 for air. It seems like the difference in mass would blow away (HURRR) any but the most extreme difference in velocity.
...the thing is there is a limit and family and friends of existing hunters usually get preference.
which seems to restrict it to the well-connected (people with connections are often said to be well-connected), and
Ammo... can only be purchased at very specfic places - and the prices are outrageous. The yearly license fees on the guns are apprently pretty expensive too.
which seems to limit it to the rich (people who can afford to spend lots of money on expensive things are often rich). Of course, I am a simple man with simple answers.
Meh, I get more junk snail mail than junk calls, and even though snail mail doesn't actually interrupt what I'm doing, its still pretty annoying because of the environmental cost and the cost of recycling, which is born by the council (and hence the council tax payer).
Yes, but in the US, at least, bulk mailing subsidizes ordinary first-class letters. It's annoying, but it's the postal equivalent of advertisements on the radio - the noise pays the bills for the signal. I have no idea if it works that way in the UK, though.
That Hacker Tourist is Neal Stephenson, so the article has the verbal density of a neutron star and is intensely fascinating. I read it a while ago, pretty good stuff.
I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it.
A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber-room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.
Has anyone got any good articles, documentaries, or personal experiences about what ordinary Internet use is like in the PRC? Does filtering or censorship show up as a brick wall "COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY CONTENT FORBIDDEN", or a passive "sorry, no such content found"? How often does it affect ordinary daily browsing? If ordinary browsers are aware of it, do they generally develop a seething resentment of it, or a shrug-and-live-with-it accpetance (or resignation) like some western employees whose workplaces filter access? I'd be interested to read something objective about what the filter actually is, what it does, and how the Chinese generally feel about it.
While I strongly oppose to subduing anyone, the best would be to use tranquilizer darts. Works like a charm on animals (appropriate irony). Fast acting and relatively pain free.
People die every day from anesthesia administered by highly trained, licensed, expert anesthesiologists with access to the best in modern drugs and equipment. I really hope you don't think that a cop can just shoot a magical one-size-fits-all tranq dart at a 250lb thug on PCP and a 95lb teenager and safely send either or both to magical sleepy land. That only happens in the movies. A taser is probably significantly safer.
Microsoft deserves repsect for essentially supporting every device and every peice of hardware on the market, a feat which Apple doesn't even try to do and that Linux is spotty on. Whether or not all the drivers you get end up being WHQL signed or not, they do make the effort and there is an impressive list of device compliance.
They don't do a damn thing besides publish a driver API. Hardware vendors are the ones that do the heavy lifting to support their devices.
And which party is pushing the free speech-sodomizing "fairness doctrine", allowing the government to dictate what private broadcasters can say about politics?
Just come off it. Democrats voted for the Iraq war. If you don't like the war, don't fucking pretend that your pet congresscritters had nothing to do with it. There is no lesser of the two evils.
We use fresh water (not deionized, just desalinated) to cool electronics on my boat (an SSN751-class submarine). Thing is, we don't bathe the gear in it, we have radiators and heat exchangers that transfer heat from components to air to metal to water and then to entropy (the ocean). Not as efficient as a mineral oil bath, but since the water only stays in the pipes, it's far less likely to destroy some critical equipment.
If you don't know what kind of weapons they had, MAKE IT UP and MAKE IT SOUND SCARY, even if it DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Was it entertaining? Yeah. It was entertaining. I don't think it was intended to be a thought-provoking movie, and I don't think it was trying to make any sort of point. If it was, of course, it kind of failed. So? It was entertaining. I liked it.

It's the MacOS X (derived from NeXT?) way of storing system info like user accounts, groups, passwords, hostnames, interfaces, etc. On OS X (and Server), most of the config data that would be stored in/etc on other Unix systems is stored in a NetInfo database in a hierarchical format.

Anyone who claims they dont all feel this way is flat wrong. They ALL silently pray for, and desire, the TOTAL elimination or conversion of ALL OTHER PEOPLE ON EARTH;
Are you a troll?
maybe.
Are you wrong?
most definitely.
I am a Jew. I have many Muslim friends. I read the Torah in the original Hebrew. They read the Qur'an in the original Arabic.
We are all Americans. We all go out on a Friday night, with our Christian and Pagan and agnostic and atheist friends. We have fun. We talk. We enjoy each other's company.
My Muslim friends don't desire the eradication of non-Muslims any more than I lust after the money of gentiles, any more than our Christian friends want to convert us to save our souls, any more than our Pagan friends sacrifice babies, any more than our atheist friends attack our beliefs.
And all of us are horrified by this attack on Americans, just as we are disgusted by violent actions against people anywhere in the world. One of my greatest fears right now is of violence and civil rights violations against my friends.
You are wrong and ill-informed. We all hope for justice.
Have you donated money, blood, or otherwise, to ease the suffering of the stricken? We have.
More neat katana tricks: the aesthetically and functionally perfect curve of a katana doesn't form until the nearly-finished blade is quenched, and it forms naturally - it's not forged in. The differing hardness and thickness on either side of the blade causes it to cool and contract at different speeds, forming the curve. The steel on the back of the blade is also much softer than the steel of the edge, which is why you'll see people in movies deflecting and parrying with the back of the blade. This allows an enemy's weapon to bounce off the softer steel so the hard edge doesn't chip or shatter.
At least, I think so - that's what I heard from a friend who was a blacksmith for a while.
