Sure, it requires that you be on the internal LAN already, and that you be running ICS, and who runs ICS anyway? But what kind of shit design is this that lets you take down the firewall if you piss off the IP-masquerading software? Did someone cut their fuzz-testing budget? What's their excuse for having this kind of vulnerability?
Did you miss the link to thomas.loc.gov in the grandparent post? Did you not think that a bill is amended on its journey through Congress? Did you not look for yourself and find out that while the introduced bill lacks Section 1076, the passed bill does not?
The version on the house website predates the version that was passed. Learn how to do your research before you jump around calling everyone an idiot.
Go to thomas.loc.gov. Enter "HR5122". See "There are 6 versions of Bill Number H.R.5122 for the 109th Congress". Click the last one, "John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)[H.R.5122.ENR]". Notice section 1076, "Use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies."
See, this is the problem. Nowhere in this country could you get "abortion on demand through the third trimester"; though it's up to the state to determine what restrictions to put in place, there's nowhere that an eight month-pregnant woman can go into a Planned Parenthood, say "I've changed my mind; abort it" and get an abortion. And I don't recall any Democrat congresscritters saying that they want to change that.
Furthermore, the first poll I googled up (Pew Research Center, 2000) shows that the majority of Americans think gun control is more important than gun owners' rights, 57-38. Again, I don't recall the Democrat platform saying anything about doing away with any immigration controls whatsoever, or wanting to disband the military. These are terrible positions, and I'd be first in line to criticize people to held them.
It's held as a revealed truth among right-wingers that Hillary Clinton is just to the left of Che Guevara. But it's just not so. She backed military action in Iraq and in Afghanistan. She's introduced legislation to increase the size of the Army. She's been active in social issues like seeking congressional hearings into GTA: San Andreas; she co-introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act along with Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh.
Thanks for your concern, but given that you're not even attacking positions that the party actually holds, why on earth would the Democratic party want to move to the right? It's certainly not going to appease you or anyone like you. They could all stand on the southern border shooting Mexicans and you'd still claim they were far-left socialist radicals on immigration and gun control. It's rank nonsense, and utterly detached from the reality of the situation.
The gay issue seems a tricky one. (Even trickier given that you didn't exactly explain what you were talking about.) But consider that the Civil Rights Act was terribly unpopular in the south at the time. It was held, rightly in my opinion, that people have rights whether or not they belong to a currently-unpopular group. By your lights, we should have the state establish a religion, because that would probably pass popular muster as well. Heck, we should repeal the Civil Rights Act in those states where it's not widely supported, is that right?
Just to be nitpicky here---it's "martial law", meaning military. Marshall was a general famous for proposing to reconstruct Europe after the second world war. Probably a very martial fellow. But the legalism isn't named after him. (Also, the military rank is "Marshal".)
In New York City? You mean how the al Qaeda bombers were about to reanimate their corpses and march on Washington any second if George hadn't invaded Iraq and stopped 'em? Goddamn, that's stupid.
Look, no matter what the President says, the crazy-ass headchoppers aren't going to invade the States and overthrow our government. The only way we're going to end up living in a paranoid state where the big man on top can order you disappeared, tortured and executed all in secret and by his say-so, is if Congress give it the okay. Which they kinda did. Still feeling lucky about that unified government?
And could you explain why? Or is it just a given that those Darn Scary Democrats are bad, bad, bad, so bad in fact that we'll legalize disappearances and torture just to keep them from... well, from whatever it is they'd do in power if they got into office. Probably something involving gay people. Woo, scary.
Wow. Could you link to the report at the bug tracker for this issue? Also, I'd be curious to know if it was in the stable or development branch (if it was recent, that would be Dapper vs Edgy), how close to the end of the development cycle it showed up, what package it was in, and how the darn thing happened.
Please explain your use of the words "worthless", "crap", "garbage" and "fraud". Also, please explain how DeBeers' cartelization of the diamond market to drive up prices is not an expression of greed.
I remember when the local wholesale outlet (I'm pretty sure it was a BJ's) had a big heap of synthetic ruby and sapphire pendants. (There were three kinds, and I don't remember what the third was. Probably another color of sapphire.) They were pretty sizable gemstones, about as big as a pea (though it was a while ago, and I might be off by a bit), and they were cheap; thirty bucks each.
I was interested not only because they were pretty and inexpensive, but because it was just plain cool that someone managed to synthesize these things. I mean, anyone can dig a rock out of the ground (or more specifically, enslave children to dig rocks out of the ground); this must have taken engineering.
What? No. Twelve percent a year is ridiculous. If I bought a hundred-dollar diamond in 1906, at that rate it'd be worth over eight million dollars today. Given that nobody's hundred-year-old diamonds are selling for that much, the rate of return isn't that high.
Or, heck, say it was 1956. Hundred dollar diamond then, nearly thirty thousand dollar diamond today. I'm pretty skeptical here.
Feel free to purchase a diamond and place it in an self-cleaning oven, which may be just hot enough to make it evaporate into a small puff of carbon dioxide, if you think the source is inaccurate. Or purchase a diamond and hit it with a hammer.
Oh, wait, you're just trash-talking wikipedia because someone fact-checked you.
It's not so much that a diamond is supposed to cost two months' salary; it's that an engagement ring is supposed to cost that much. The story I'm told is that they were given in Victorian times as a deposit on the prospective bride's virginity. If the man, after devaluing the woman, declined to go through with the marriage, the two months's salary was forfeit.
The whole marriage pageantry is about a transfer of property from one man (the father) to another (the groom). It's amazing that anyone still goes through with it, knowing what it used to mean.
Far be it from me to say that one absolutely is and the other absolutely isn't natural, but I do think it's useful to draw a distinction between wild animals, domesticated crops, my refrigerator and a terraforming project. These things are different. I don't have a strong, bright-line distinction between them, but to throw one's hands up and claim that the last three are indistinguishable smacks of considerable intellectual laziness, or perhaps a desire to salve one's conscience at ecological catastrophe, arguing that (insert huge change to ecosystem here) isn't any worse than a bigger ear of corn, so what are you damn hippies bitching about?
J. Michael Straczynski was credited as executive producer on "Babylon 5", and was very much involved in the day-to-day running of the show. (The only other credit he got was as writer for the scripts he actually wrote.)
Hey, it it means I'll finally get my vector desktop, so I can just turn the DPI up or down for big happy controls or tiny intricate controls, I'll be happy. Nearly everything's still bitmap-based; it's so 1990s. And whatever happened to dynamic themes for GTK?
If the definition of "natural" is going to include skyscrapers, Humvees and digital watches, I think you've pretty much stripped the word of its meaning.

Select "bill number" on Thomas and enter "hr5122". It'll take you to the right place.

Yeah, it's called SessionSaver, and I already use it. The same functionality is built into Epiphany already.
I hope it won't leak quite so much memory. That'd be nice.

There's a novelization of "V for Vendetta" the movie. For people who don't want to be seen reading a comic book, I would guess. What a goddamn crock.
Clearly Hugo Weaving would.
