Sure you can. It happens all the time. Woman changes the door locks, puts the guys' stuff in garbage bags on the porch, if he tries to get in it's unlawful entry. The cops will till him to take his stuff and go see a lawyer. If he refuses to leave, they will arrest him.
YOUR topic was making an a** out of yourself - and you've succeeded. You have still not presented any independent proof that your diet limited to rice, milk, canola oil and the occasional carrot is a healthy diet.
It's because you can't.
Not even one citation.
Here's a suggestion (based on fact, btw) - try to realize that when you can't even document your first assertion that nobody is going to take anything you build upon it as being worth reading.
The police DID tell him to leave. And no, there is no requirement for a legal separation for a couple to be considered separated. All she has to do is change the door locks. After that point, when you try to enter without permission, you are breaking and entering - even if you own the place free and clear (same as a landlord can't just bust into a rented apartment or house).
Who says I have to have a take-away? But if you must, one of my take-aways from this is that there are still people who are so stupid, so ignorant, so full of themselves as to think that poverty is a simple problem that can be fixed with simplistic solutions.
The topic was things you can do to help people. I offered 10 constructive ways. What have you offered, except a modern-day Marie Antoinette "qu'ils mangent du riz"?
Poverty isn't a joke. It has many causes, and it's a killer - poor people die younger. One of the biggest problems is people's smug, self-satisfied judgmental attitude towards both poverty and the poor. Your focusing on a stupid subsistence diet of only rice, milk, canola oil and the occasional carrot shows that you completely and utterly miss the point, which I have consistently tried to draw the conversation back to - that poverty has many consequences, that, like being handicapped, one of the biggest problems is other peoples' attitudes compounding the problem, that it's not a matter of choice or bad decisions - in fact, it can happen to pretty much anyone.
That most people are just one critical illness, one accident, one failed relationship, one long-term job loss, one death of a partner or child or parent, from finding out just what being poor really is.
Poverty isn't just a 3rd-world problem. It doesn't matter whether you're using the absolute scale, or the relative scale, when someone doesn't have the basics - enough to cover medical, shelter, and food - they're poor, no matter where they live.
So they'll make what to you are "bad choices" - and your solution is that they should just live on a diet of rice, milk, canola oil and the occasional carrot. How does that fix the problem, if they don't have enough to cover the basics, even on a subsistence diet?
Your answers to that particular question - like when it's at the point that they can't afford both their medication and food - "well, they'll eat, because otherwise they'll die" missed the point entirely. Going off their meds, whether it's for high or low blood pressure, bipolar syndrome, diabetes, depression, or whatever - will also negatively impact their health, and can result in them ending up either in the hospital (which they can't afford, or they would have bought their medication in the first place), or dead.
You can make all the claims you want to - but you missed the entire point. And you're still missing it. Where are your priorities? We're talking about human beings here. Not animals in a feedlot or rats in a cage.
I know you won't feel any shame over this... after all, for you, poverty is someone else's problem. You've said you've never experienced it - which probably explains why you fail to even recognize the real issues, and instead continue to focus on the utterly trivial. And that's a tragedy writ small.
But keep being a Grinch - after all, 'tis the season.
So, when someone is fired, how do you access their systems if it's biometric-only?
So, when you bring in a machine to get repaired, how do they test it if it's biometric-only?
So, when you're going to be away for a week and you want someone you trust to check your email, how are they going to if it's biometric-only?
There was nothing wrong with my statement. There's something seriously wrong with you thinking that there are *no* reasons for using a shared password.
That sort of behaviour would just p*ss me off. My phone is for *my* convenience - not some spammer. But just in case, I'm going to write (not email - snail mail still gets more respect) my representatives to demand that spam sms messages be specifically prohibited to numbers on the do not call list (they already are by my carriers' ToS for accessing their network, but might as well get those $15,000 fines going:-)
IBM wants to use biometrics because then it's easier to profile and track someone w/o it being obvious. You're collecting their face, their fingerprints, their voice, so now you can sell that info to the people who will bay the biggest $$$ - the government. We're looking at "yes, we can track every phone call of every person of arab descent in real time" $$$.
I was thinking the advantage of passwords or physical tokens is that they aren't tied to your body too, but for a different reason. Not so that you share them with friends, but so that nobody chops off your body parts just to access your stuff. People have had their finger chopped off just so that someone can steal their fingerprint-scanning car.
What's more important to you, your finger or your car? Considering replacing the car just requires an insurance claim..
In the future, replacing your car will only require chopping off someone else's finger!
Just remove your mailbox. Problem solved. Also, your mailbox is supposed to be on publicly-accessible property (like the city sidewalk, or the common area in an apartment or condo complex). If it's on private property, the mailman/woman doesn't have to deliver it.
Are you kidding? You haven't proven a thing, except that you're a fail at trolling.
Since this *is* Troll Tuesday, here are a few of the rules:
1. Try to be believable. You fail on that. You need logical arguments, citations, etc. Not just baby-cry hand-waving. Not lameness*11.
2. Try not to be too obvious until it's time. You fail on that as well. Badly. High UID account, almost no posting history, what there is are mostly crap posts, and the posts you've made in this thread... well... you really need to learn "l'art de la troll". Because it is an art - what you're doing... well, it's just lame.
3. Try to be educational. A good troll is educational, insightful, funny, amusing - but above all else, educational.
4. Try not to take it seriously, or personally. Throw it "in the spaces" between things like writing code, or vacuuming, or eating, or other more important stuff. It's only trolling after all.
5. Try to use the occasions as a chance to enhance your debating skills. Remember, you can't waste much time on it, so you have to be able to type really fast, your google-fu should be awesome, and you should be able to reply w/o either editing or hitting preview, because if you have to edit, you're not there yet!
6. Feed the lame troll wanna-be. That's what they're there for. It's not personal, and unlike fishing or hunting, PETA isn't going to come screaming at you.
Those are just some of the rules, off the top of my head.
You really missed the point. This is an ongoing project that they started doing this over a year ago. If you deleted something 2 months ago that you posted 6 months before, they've still got it.
I don't believe the OP meant his "eat rice" comment to be as superlative as you're making it out to be.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.
And yes, if you read the comments, they meant it literally. No veggies whatsoever, until I pointed out the vitamin A problem - then it's "oh 100 grams of carrots once in a while". And no meat. Fresh produce is expensive in the winter months, and this whole thing is about poor people having to make hard choices, not about how long someone can live on a subsistence diet before they end up in the emergency ward.
Also, there are plenty of obese people in Asia - what do you think sumo wrestlers eat - people?
My point, as always, has been that poor people have to make hard choices, and that eating a proper balanced diet becomes "optional" when they're looking at a "food, rent, utilities, meds, warm clothing - pick 2". For anyone to say "so let them eat a diet of rice, milk, and canola oil - it has everything they need and it's cheaper" misses the point. It is not healthy. Read where I asked "where's the veggies? Where's the fish or poultry?" See the response - the poster claims none of that is needed, with the exception of the occasional carrot.
There is NO WAY that spam will ever be personalized enough to make it become priority mail. Spam that is that personalized is going to be perceived as CREEPY. Of course, IBM would like that, because IBM will make $$$ selling services to make spam creepy^Wpersonalized.
No passwords in 5 years? Maybe in 15 - 20, but it's not like all the computers that use passwords are suddenly going to disappear in 5 years. Besides, one of the advantages of a password is you can give it to someone else. What good are biometrics if you're sitting in the hospital after losing a hand? Or retinal scans after you've had laser retinal photocoagulation to remove the "distinctive pattern of veins" on your retina? Or if you're going to be away on vacation for a week, and you want someone else to log in for you?
In other words, passwords will always be around. But IBM would like that, because IBM will make $$$ selling services to make it more inconvenient for you to get things done^W^W^W^W^W^W^Wmore convenient most of the time, and then pay big $$$$ for the edge cases.
Once a couple are separated, neither one has a legal right to intrude on the others' private life. The separation doesn't even have to be a legal separation - just one partner saying to the other "I'm going my way, get out of my life, we're separated." They change the locks, you bust in, you go directly to jail. Doesn't matter whose name the property is in - that's a civil matter.
Whether one or the other is a liar or not has nothing to do with it. That's a civil matter, and the cops will say "get a lawyer and sue." The spying on the other person, however, is a criminal matter, and the cops will just arrest you and say "tell it to the judge", and in the meantime make you sign a consent that you don't go within X feet of the other person, or have any contact, directly or indirectly, with them. You, a restraining order.
You might want to consider that even Larry Rosen (general counsel for the Open Source Initiative) agrees that you are free to link to gpl code without creating a derivative work. Heck, he goes further - if you make a straight verbatim copy (no modifications), you can do the same with any gpl code, because the GPL only considers distribution of MODIFIED code. No mods, no need to distribute the source.
First, you really should look into the history of egcs. People got fed up with stallman, forked gcc, and eventually, it became so much better that stallman didn't have any choice but to abandon gcc completely, and rebase off the egcs code.
Same thing happened with his emacs code. He p*ssed too many people off, they continued to work on their xemacs fork instead, and eventually he had to abandon emacs, and import their code and rename it emacs.
We're not talking about government bills - we're talking about an affirmative defense in equity. Been there, done that, produced 2 witnesses, won the case.
Again, you haven't provided ANY 3rd-party proof, aside from your say-so. Why should anyone believe you over the doctors and nutritionists in over 100 countries?
Keep on, silly troll, You don't have what it takes to run with the big ones.
That's not the same as a diet that consists ONLY of rice, milk, canola oil, and the occasional carrot. NO other veggies. No fish or other meat. (And the carrot was only added after I pointed out that there were serious vitamin A problems).
So, want to try again? Because Japan doesn't cut it.
Stalking is illegal. Stalking your ex doubly so. How is telling someone to move it (and hoping they'll get a clue and not do it again) a threat to utopia? Do you REALLY think that people should be able to stick their noses in anyone's business just because they want to?
In which case, they'd want you to (a) produce ID, then (b) arrest you for stalking because they received a complaint from your ex (why do you think they were there in the first place, duh!) and they've now ID'd you.
It's so much easier to just walk away from problems like that. Someone's cheating on you? Their loss. WALK AWAY! Get a life! Don't waste your time trying to salvage anything - they've already shown they're not interested. Don't be one being one of "those people" who can't let go.

And how is the guy at the repair shop going to fix it without an administrative password? Duh! Oh - right - just leave it blank!
Liar.
Sure you can. It happens all the time. Woman changes the door locks, puts the guys' stuff in garbage bags on the porch, if he tries to get in it's unlawful entry. The cops will till him to take his stuff and go see a lawyer. If he refuses to leave, they will arrest him.
