They have fought to secure those same elements and done their homework. it gives them an economic advantage with both manufacturing and raw mining/refining done in the same place. most western countries in the same position would do the same as would any corporate entity in the western hemisphere. they can export the finished products at a huge markup compared to what they would get for raw minerals.
This is a bad idea. Other than the ludicrous cost of the SSD, flash drives tend to fail all at once. bam! and all your data is gone. This is also why i do not use a USB key for backups. On my system everything is dumped on a 2TB mirrored system (simple 2 x 2TB HDDs running debian software encryption + RAID lvm) and periodically backed up to blu ray DLs in duplicate. At $10/disk from japan (see ebay) two verbatims back up 50GB in duplicate for $20. Typically it takes 2-3 months to generate that amount which means its cost effective. DVDRs (Taiyo Yudens) fill the gap if there is not enough data to justify a bunch of blu rays.
i use rsync + samba on a linux box over the network with 2TB drives in a mirror (encrypted, mirrored with debian) for primary backup and have a LG Blue Ray burner for secondary backup. I get 50GB DL blu rays for $10 each from ebay (shipped from japan in 10 packs) mostly using verbatims. I burn two blu rays at a time with copies of the sam data on both and store them separately. $20 for 50 gig is not a bad bargain.
yes, the district court must follow it. NYCLs analysis was essentially, trolling. I realize NYCL is popular here, but that does not make his reasoning correct. NYCL stated : (a) it contradicted the plain wording of the district court rule, (b) it ignored the First Amendment implications, and (c) there is no such thing as 'advisory' mandamus or 'advisory' anything -- our federal courts are specifically precluded from giving advisory opinions.
(a) is plainly incorrect because the opinion was from a higher court -- they do not need to follow the wording of a lower court - they can -- and do -- explicitly contradict it. hence the term "appeal" or "appeal to a higher power who can disagree with you if it so desires". (b) is incorrect because there is no First Amendment implication to publish. The court is still allowing you to speak in front of it, you do not have any republication rights in the 1st amendment. its free speech not free license to republish for a mass audience. My reasoning would be similar if i were to judge this case - publishing a stream would risk the trial turning into a circus. You may disagree with this (as NYCL did) but it does not make the reasoning incorrect or invalid. (c) is incorrect for all the reasons i have layed down in my later post. basically SCOTUS allows advisory mandamus rulings.
i'm sorry but as a fellow attorney (NY too!) i have to correct NYCLs analysis. Advisory mandamus has its roots in the Supreme Court's reference to mandamus review of "basic, undecided question[s]." Schlagenhauf v. Holer, 379 U.S 104, 110 (1964); see Horn, 29 F.3d at 769; see also 16 Wright et al., supra, 3934. It is appropriately invoked when the action or inaction of the district court presents an issue of great importance and novelty, and one the resolution of which will likely aid other jurists, parties, and lawyers. See Horn, 29 F.3d at 769-70 (citing In re Justices of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, 695 F.2d 17, 25 (1st Cir. 1982), and In re Bushkin Assocs., Inc., 864 F.2d 241, 247 (1st Cir. 1989)). To summarize : They are allowed to issue advisory mandamus in cases such as these.
you took a misd because you did not want to lose a job ? umm...arent your priorities a bit screwed up ? most employers dont touch anyone with a conviction for good reason. why didnt you simply have those discharged ? after 10+ yrs you can easily apply to get them wiped from your record....and you should try your best to avoid making it longer.
Come now... as a fellow attorney you know better than to mislead the proles. That particular legal proposition dates back to the reign of King Canute in 994-1035. In more modern times i refer you to the 1762 treatise by Sir Michael Foster, Fosters Crown Law. As your legal training has no doubt informed you, British Common Law is where most of our law evolved from.
youre either an idiot or you drive to the mall and back. tell me how a 3 lane highway justifies a speed limit of 50mph ? youre likely to get into an accident when someone driving at 70mph in a pickup plows thru the back of your shitbox and kills you because you werent driving at the safe and reasonable speed that everyone else was driving at instead of following the arbitrarily low limit. the speed limits in the U.S. are a tax. period. i drive 50K miles/year, never under the limit and usually 20 over and ive never had an accident. i use an STI, CB and LPP jammer to avoid tickets along with a GPS. not as sophisticated as this guy with microbolometers but good enough for average us highway use. you people should stop being sheeps and grow up. coupla years ago this guy would get high praise from/. instead of a bunch of whiners crying about protecting the children.
people -- if you dont like the DMCA or U.S registrars instead of whining about it simply switch to joker.com (it switzerland) or ghandi (in france) or any of the non-U.S. based registrars out there. They will take your credit cards and a currency coversion is handled automatically. if you dont like it -- SWITCH. vote with your wallet. eventually U.S. based registrars WILL GET IT. SALES depts will kick their asses until they do.
if you want a cheaper version you could just buy a dremel ($99?) + a dremel stand and table ($120?) and you have a CNC machine by adding three servos to it. which is pretty much what i did. $300 is much more affordable than this one or the modela. the carvewright http://www.carvewright.com/ is $1800 and the http://www.torchmate.com/tm4/index2.htm torchmate at $5000 are also available. unfortunately water jets which would be ideal are not yet in the price range of home buyers at $40K+.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/sentinel/ i did this for sentinel. i used an executable packer and a number of different means for keeping the salt secure, such as splitting it up and randomizing it during compile. you can look at the source as it compiles...its strings proof but not perfect.
the guy may be nuts but he is right about one thing -- "until Word is cornered, Math is fictitious." the best description of the move from turing machine architectures that we're currently on to an NN-based architecture that i've ever seen. until we understand how language and NN based frameworks relate to turing architectures, we dont really understand ourselves or anything else for that matter.
once children reach sentience (usually age 6) they can start figuring stuff out easily. it probably has to do with the ability to model relationships and extend it to other tasks rather than anything else cos humans are inherently social animals.
i built mine a while ago using a via epia m10K board. works ok and i also use a remote with it. cost me $1500 total with everything in a slimline VCR style package. fairly easy to do, but YMMV. its better you build it yourself since you can tweak it and stuff. i use debian myself with a 2.4 kernel image and use XFS with a compressed ext2fs boot image on bootable dvdrom (to prevent my tweaks from destroying anything vital until i decide to update the dvd).
unfortunately the problem with that is software following turing machine philosophy in that a single line of execution exists with NO failsafes. the only way to avoid this is to have multiple turing code paths and even then you may not be able to recover if a unit fails which cannot be interrupted. see the halting problem as an example. in other words -- its doable, but bloody hard with no guarantee of success and a single line of failure will happen at some time when all your code paths converge to a single point of failure.
for a corp during the dot com boom which used to sell the software for industrial controls...(i've inherited all the code ironically). anyway, we used to use java, xml and more java for doing pretty much everything with all the logic done using a custom written drag and drop java editor. if you want more info email me. im located pretty close to motor city btw. its NOT easy and if you find youre over your head -- thats kinda expected. it takes a lot getting used to -- i suggest calling a specialist in from one of the big PLC corps or hiring someone who has been there and done that. im pretty busy so i can only come in part time weekends if youre interested.

yes. i have a 2005 GMC 4x4 SUV. it gets shitty mileage, but i can live with that. it has 20K miles on it with an extended warranty. in that 20K it has been to the shop *6* times, excluding oil changes. when i first took it off the lot with 40 miles on it, it worked great...for 3 days. then it broke down with an EVAP system failure. followed by a wiring harness short two weeks later. and a power lock failure. and a gas tank sending unit failure. and a ABS brake system failure. and a complete brake failure due to one or more wiring connector faults/loose connections (!). now the parking brake is having problems and i fully expect to be in the shop...in the next 2 weeks.
i only use optionsxpress. they dont have everything but work well with firefox/mozilla on linux and have a software API exposed for all your real-time C hacks for calculating IVs etc.
email me and i'll send you details. i dont know what your budget is but my box is plug and play and costs $2500 or so with 4 cameras bundled. uses linux and customized versions of motion and java for control. i also use a BT848 chipset to do the capturing.
hmm...well it doesnt have precedential value since its a 2005 case but in one instance at least a drug dealer was not compelled to turn over keys to decrypt files on his machine after the state was unable to crack the encryption. see : Wilhelmus v. State, 824 N.E.2d 405, 2005 Ind. App. LEXIS 433 it should come on findlaw soon anyway... IAAL, but im not acting as one. this is not legal advice. OVERVIEW: Defendant's motion for a speedy trial was granted. Four days before the date scheduled for trial, the State filed an Ind. R. Crim. P. 4(D) motion for continuance that was granted. Defendant objected to the scheduling of a trial date beyond the Ind. R. Crim. P. 4(B)(1) 70-day limit and filed an unsuccessful motion to dismiss. While Ind. R. Crim. P. 4(B)(1), when invoked, provided for a trial within 70 days, Ind. R. Crim. P. 4(D) allowed for an extension of the 70-day period under certain circumstances. Despite its best efforts in the prosecution of one of the largest methamphetamine labs in the county, the State was faced with one unavailable key witness; another key witness who would have been unavailable if the trial was postponed only one week; belated, case-altering drug analysis results; indecipherable computer files presumed necessary for identity purposes; and information of inappropriate, potentially investigation-compromising conduct among multiple people. The State's request for a 14-day extension was more than reasonable under the circumstances.
i normally dont post regarding my membership, but mensa is a social club and should be treated like one. when i move into a new area and have no friends, the only way to meet people who are at least above the average bar stool junkie is to join a mensa chapter and hang out with ppl playing D&D or whatever. some mensas suck and some are really really good. its a nice friendly atmosphere in general tho.
