From the movie "Judgement At Nuremberg", which can be seen on AMC from time to time.
"Ernst Janning: There was a fever over the land. A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a democracy, yes, but it was torn by elements within. Above all, there was fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow, fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves.
Only when you understand that - can you understand what Hitler meant to us. Because he said to us: 'Lift your heads! Be proud to be German! There are devils among us. Communists, Liberals, Jews, Gypsies! Once these devils will be destroyed, your misery will be destroyed.'
It was the old, old story of the sacrifical lamb. What about those of us who knew better? We who knew the words were lies and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent? Why did we take part? Because we loved our country!
What difference does it make if a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase. It is only a stage we are going through. It will be discarded sooner or later. Hitler himself will be discarded... sooner or later. The country is in danger. We will march out of the shadows. We will go forward. Forward is the great password. And history tells how well we succeeded, your honor."
I will leave it up for the indiviual to decide if the Constitution's planned checks and balances have proved insufficient to the task of ensuring the Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness of The People.
The discussion of our course, in the case of the Failure of The Constitution, is outside the scope of this topic.
I've been using the FC5RC3 on a test system which uses Xen for a wacky combo of MySQL, and PHP that some groupware requires which conflicted with the standard Core packages.
From what I've seen in going from "Rolling Your Own" to the FC5 distro, is that Fedora got it RIGHT on this one. "It Just Works" for me.
When the host machine gets rebooted, it doesn't even reboot the Guests. They just get suspended, and resumed when the machine comes back up.
"My point is that the current administration, as silly as they (and all others) are about some things, do tend to walk away from some pointless pieces of federal nonsense. As a guy who owns a few guns, I'll cite the example of the "assault weapons" ban. Totally pointless, completely ineffective, and not worth the trouble to chase once again through the renewal process. It's gone now. Good riddance."
Would you feel the same way about a few pot plants, should ( and I think this not too likely, but a scenerio ) Alito, in his zeal to undercut EPA, trashes the foundations of DEA, etc?
For some it's sufficient for the call to come from the Department of Justice for it to be an authorized, lawful request.
You don't wanna be uncooperative with someone you've met at a convention who works for the Department of Justice, do you?
What I find interesting is the timing.
Now correct me if I'm wrong.. ( Like I need to ask! ) But isn't NSA already reading all the traffic from the Real Big Routers? Does this mean that NSA stopped cooperating with DOJ? How is it related to the disclosure of the unauthorize wiretaps?
That's OK. I *OWN* the Master Tapes of the shows I've gone to, so as long as it's for Non-Commercial, Home Use Only, the party continues uninterrupted.
BTW your best bet for security for your USB drive is physical security. If you are really worried about someone taking it carry a spare full of fake data.
I'm sorry to hear you live in NYC, were even such a *sensible* choice of a Winchester Lever in.38/.357 requires permitting and suchlike.
I'm a big fan of that caliber in lever actions, btw... 50 round boxes are cheap ( unlike deer calibers ) and it's still pretty dang useful for holding off the savages...

Simple enough. Stop bitching at the open people and Demand that MSFT play well with others.

Oh, that's an INTERPERTATION, and not holding the Damned Feds to the LETTER OF THE LAW is the problem we have.
I didn't ask for an interpertation, just the Letter of The Law.
Where does it say THAT, or are you making things up?
Remember the 9th and 10th Ammendments are really explicit.
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."
This one? Article I, Section 8, Clause 3?
Hmmm... So, then doing business with only ISPs within the same state solves THAT.
Where EXACTLY in the Constitution of The United States is this authority delegated from The People or The States to The Damned Feds?
IIRC there are a few manufacturers who have firewire attached standalone harddrives. Plug DV right into them and big-fiddle, you have files.
Maybe peruse Markertek's website http://www.markertek.com/
Want "Freedom" and "Liberty"?
Don't AGREE to exchange them for priviledges.
When Microsoft BEGGED PERMISSION to operate a business in a particular jusridiction, THEY AGREED to abide by the REGULATIONS therein.
NOW "THE RULES" are too onerous? Boo Fucking Hoo, and Caveat Emptor, MSFT...

Two Thumbs Up.
Playing the Wall Street Game isn't Google's game.
Just be glad, Wall Street, that they even let you in to play.
I see you haven't ever supported a few thousand workstations?
Browser based apps rule.
For 30 Billion dollars after it's build, we could have a moonbase...
That was imprecise. And I'm not too sure upon reflection if there's any necessary connection b/t the Alito Scenerio and the question itself.
And the question was rhetorical, so please, keep your answers to yourselves, folks...

You had me up until:
"...so hopefully the current administration will look at the aggregate search stats and recognize the futility of prior restraint."
Now, you CAN'T be new here...
I dunno... You lost me.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AROUND HERE???
Oh, I guess you want to have your cake, AND eat it too?
You either support the US Gov't or you support Terrorists.
Does that help clear up what other sovereign nations might consider to be motivation to do what Sam Says?
"I have to believe that really they do have the best of intentions"
Repeat after me:
"The Purpose of Government is to hire Government Employees."
"The Mission of the Bureaucracy is to promote the Bureaucracy"
That's OK. I *OWN* the Master Tapes of the shows I've gone to, so as long as it's for Non-Commercial, Home Use Only, the party continues uninterrupted.
" It seems reasonable for law enforcement to expect "cooperation" with investigations, I can get with that."
Not after the Martha Stewart Law.
ANY fib, lie, misdirection, or error WITHOUT BEING UNDER OATH will get you tossed in the camps.
Just look what happening with Scooter.
The ONLY intelligent answer to any questions from any damned feds are:
A) Do you have a warrent?
B) Am I under Arrest?
C) Mail me a letter and/or call my lawyer with any questions.
D) Can I Go Now?
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.... Always Repeat...
"even some pro gear start their frequency response range at 35Hz..."
That's where the MEASUREMENT for the spec is defined.
The equipment MAY or MAY NOT have useable performance below that.
And that 20 Hz filter. That's NOT an issue in the Analog domain.
BTW your best bet for security for your USB drive is physical security. If you are really worried about someone taking it carry a spare full of fake data.
