PATRIOT (drafted in 1995 by Joe Biden and signed into Law 45 days after the WTC incident with barely a single word having been changed)
Before 1914 one of the more unusual features of the United Kingdom's unwritten constitution was its lack of any specific provision for civil and military emergencies: in particular, the government lacked the power to proclaim a state of emergency, and thereby free itself to govern by regulation, suspend civil liberties, and impose martial law. Under the common law the British government's emergency powers were wide but poorly defined. According to English jurist and constitutional theorist A. V. Dicey, the crown and its servants had the right and the duty to restore peace and order by any means necessary: “they are, each and all of them, authorized to employ so much force, even to the taking of life, as may be necessary for that purpose, and they are none of them entitled to use more” (Dicey : 289). But servants of the crown whose actions exceeded the demands of the situation were liable to prosecution afterward — and in such cases, obedience to superior orders was no defense. “Hence,” as Dicey admitted, “the position of a soldier is in theory and may be in practice a difficult one. He may, as it has been well said, be liable to be shot by a court martial if he disobeys an order, and to be hanged by a judge and jury if he obeys it” (Dicey 1960: 303).
The various War Powers Acts enacted just prior to The Great War (in that case the Defence of the Realm Consolidation Act), WWII, and the various civil emergencies since (1920, 1926, 1939–1940, 1964...), have all been expertly drafted and enacted to cover every contingency *before* the events they describe even occur, not as a reactive legislation afterward. That in itself should raise suspicions as to the motive behind such legislation and the machinations behind such as the Russian invasion of Poland (yes, they went in first and they were basically ignored by all but Germany) and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
my G3 and my G4 had none of those. Batteries, RAM and storage was all removable and replaceable with commodity parts in the case of the RAM and storage, batteries were another matter (they wanted the machines' serial numbers!), so I gave Apple the fuckoff biscuit and got third party replacements.
I just tried to order some PDIP-40 packages from mouser, they do seem to have some in stock. They do have a two week lead on bulk quantities, so someone's still making them.
The Western Digital 65C816 processor can run in 6502 mode (though slower on the clock, it is a 16-bit chip). Oh, and these guys have a pile of 6502's in: http://uk.mouser.com/_/?Keywor...
I have a 1TB drive with 5.5 million files on it (don't ask). Even scaling to 8TB, that'd still only be 44 million table entries. NTFS on a GPT volume can scale to 2^32-1 files, but I'd hate to think how big that'd end up being with 64KB clusters... 274TB? Grow it for larger files.
why would they be afraid? They have the largest standing army in the world, and they have the largest amount of weaponry that could ever potentially be brought to bear by any one Government.
where you hosted your own website and the ICQ persistent presence has a profile page and a dynamic DNS link to your personal server? That was way back when with a teeny little hack you could just link through and have your own free (as in beer) no-ad website and maintain complete control. Then at some point they changed it and the personal space went cloud-based and you lost control (and that's when I stopped using it).
anybody who claims righteous vengeance with God on side.
Example: George W. Bush. “The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.”
He spent the months after the WTC incident extolling the virtues of turning the Middle East into his own Frontier town and interspersing it with similarly disturbing references to "God" and how "God" is on the side of "right" and how murdering civilians from six miles up is "right".
there was the time when he went full Reagan with his "Dead or alive" schtick. I nearly died at that one.
And: “When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.” — Tell that to the camel you just sodomised with a two million Dollar missile.
..before he had even fired the first retaiatory strike off, he'd already Godwinned himself out of any further debate with this: “These terrorists we have seen their kind before. They’re the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history’s unmarked grave of discarded lies.” This just over a week after the WTC incident, IIRC.
citations needed. Unless you want me to just take your word over DuPont, which I've been over.
(FWIW I have NEVER seen a military issue AK47 with a nylon stock. Show me a MI AK with a composite plastic stock being held/used by a Russian soldier in winter conditions and I'll bow to your superior knowledge of hand-portable weapons tech and forget everything I learned on the subject ever).

who is your trustworthy CA?
Answer should be: NONE, one compromised CA should prompt the realisation and/or assumption that they're ALL compromised.
+1,000,005: caught me right out there
now go read up on the inverse square law.
...FB's jump was fucking everywhere.
I'd just go for cool factor and hunt around for a working Cray X-MP.
I wonder how much I'd get for my (still working) BBC Model A?

I got the full version of that a while ago, it's surprisingly useful - it even does SMART monitoring.

how many countries has China bombed recently?
point. Though, the technology's there...

I wonder if this is a staged event to drown out the fact that four BW members were found guilty of the Nusoor Square shootings?

nah, it's still more fun to poke holes in it...
canada geese are actually pretty bloody delicious roasted with root vegetables and spinach.
