Look, what self-respecting stalker doesn't already know where their ex is? Frankly, if you have to rely on someone broadcasting their location to find them, you don't really qualify as a stalker in my book.
You're working with a mental model that says a $100US price differential is insignificant. When $100 takes 3 months to earn, it becomes much more significant.
How long before the Chinese subsidiary of Google (presumably more susceptible to Chinese laws than the US based parent company) is forced to hand over logs and other identifiable information to track down and arrest potential "dissidents" who searched for unacceptable terms?
Well, the Chinese don't really need Google's information to find out who's searching for what since they control, oh, roughly 100% of the internet traffic. I say roughly, because this figure doesn't include the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers. Although, as we all know, Google is involved in pigeon technology, so perhaps China wants Google's assistance to seal up the final hole in their party controlled firewall.
They could definately save a lot of effort by just using the simple, yet highly effective, breadcrumb NAT technique.
It's amazing how much the Senators from the Great State of Wisconsin are shaping our domestic policy. On the one hand, you have Sensenbrenner with his RealID Act, and on the other you have Feingold voting against the Patiot Act.
And WI almost decided the outcome of the Presidential election.
It's almost as if our country is controlled by dairy.
Also, it would take up a lot of Congress' time renewing old laws
Right.. because it takes up a lot of their time passing laws with no debate and auditory votes of "The aye's have it!"
Renewing laws would be a 30 second speedbump.
Although it's entirely possible some laws might not make it to the floor in time, like people forgetting to renew their domain registration, in which case laughing at children might be legal for a few days until some Senator says, "Oh crap!"
There is nothing wrong with the law. It is simply being abused.
I think our country has a clear history of recognizing that people will abuse their power, and limiting it thusly. It's why we have separation of powers, haebus corpus, search warrants, etc., etc., etc. To toss them out the window and say "there's nothing wrong with the law, it's just being abused," is to ignore volumes of history, including the principles upon which our country was founded.
Laws should NOT be easy to abuse. Checks, balances, oversight, and public accountability are the cornerstones of a free society.
It probably had more to do with having liquid cooling than the fact that you ran it into a refrigerator. Refrigerators are effective because they're well insulated; the cooling mechanism itself is energy efficient because it isn't very powerful at all (especially in mini-friges) and probably had little to no effect on your setup overall. The coiled tubing itself and the surface area of the resovoir probably provided the majority of your cooling.
Not to say that it wouldn't have helped at all, but what's 1/2 degree of cooling when it meant sacrificing a convenient storage space for important things like beer?
The bill would also prevent states from issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, stiffen asylum laws and complete construction of a long-stalled fence on the border between California and Mexico.
Now if they would only build a fence between California and the US.
As corrupt as politicians are, I have more faith in the state legislatures knowing what the fuck they're doing than I do in the general populace.
I agree 100% on that point. It's also easier when it's a group of 100 or so people who are familiar with each other. Think of the people you work with.. everyone knows who the good leaders are; who they'd like to see running things. When you see people on a day-to-day basis, rather than in 30 second TV spots or an isolated debate, it's much easier to make a decision like that.
I thought libel/slander required knowingly making false statements about someone. If you have good reason to believe your statements are true, then it's not libel/slanderous. Can anyone comment on this?
Anyway, how can Real-ID be "controversial"? Nobody but slashdot readers and "bloggers" even know it exists.
It's controversial for lots of reasons, and most of them don't have to do with tinfoil hats.
1) It creates MORE government, not less. Republicans are supposed to be for smaller government, but this flies in the face of that policy.
2) It's unfunded. The states are supposed to work out for themselves how to comply with these regulations with NO federal funding.
3) Of course, states aren't required to comply, but then a state's citizens will be unable to make use of most interstate transportation (flying).
4) It provides few, if any, clear benefits. Maybe a bartender in Cali won't have to worry about knowing what Vermont's drivers licenses look like with a national ID card, but people with the money and determination will still be able to get fake IDs.
I won't even go into the privacy concerns -- you can read yesterday's article if you're interested.
Right, then. I had two choices. I called up UK Online and asked for the 8-Mbit service: pricey, but actually comparable to what I would have paid in the U.S. The sales lady asked for my phone number; no problem. Postcode? Here you are, then!
The real horror is the terrible job this guy does of trying to write in British style.
As of 4/26/05 I enter the world of a non-smoker. Wish me luck and a lot of support.
I quit back in February, using nicotene replacement. I still pop those Committ pills from time to time, but it's a lot better than smoking, and cigarettes honestly taste like shit to me now. Gained 10lbs when I quit, but I've almost lost it again. Just remember, having 1 smoke doesn't mean you failed, and the more times you try to quit, the more likely you are to succeed.
Define agressively.. I just bought a car that provides a semi-realtime MPG display. If I floor it while accelerating (as normal.. yes, I enjoy acceleration), and average around 90MPH, I get around 17MPG. If I accelerate softly to the same speed, I get around 21MPG. If I accelerate softly and travel at ~65MPH, I get 29MPG. I have yet to try accelerating hard and then traveling at 65MPH because I have a hard time not going fast after accelerating fast. I need to move to Germany.
On a side note, I tried driving with the windows down rather than running the A/C to see if my milage improved.. It didn't. I think the excess drag played a role.. That probably varies from vehicle to vehicle. It's too damned hot here to even think about driving with the windows up and no A/C.
I'm not really sure where to shift in order to get the best milage either.. I'm used to driving a V8 with lots of low end torque.. now I've got a highly tuned V6 which wants high RPMs.
The image acquisition will be done throughout 2005 and use the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS)
Maybe it's just me, but if I wanted to make the "Sharpest Ever Global Earth Map," I'd use a High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. Or maybe this is about job security, ensuring they can do it all over again next year. Ah, mediocraty.
Somebody needs to tell the ESA that doing a half-assed job is the American way, damnit.
I'm not sure how the switch works as far as traffic monitoring, and I couldn't find any specific information on the Ellacoya website, but have you tried using a port other than the default? (6881 I think?) This helped me immensely.. Also, depending on the client, you might have your default upload slots set low (Azureus uses 4 by default), and while BT isn't supposed to be a tit for tat network, I've found that the more people I'm uploading to (within reason), the more people I'm downloading from. My upload BW is only 1/5th of my download BW (to discourage running a server, no doubt) so I end up having to seed things for quite a while to get a decent ratio, but at least I don't have to wait days to for a torrent to finish.
Also, if you haven't capped your upspeed to ~80% of your max uplink BW, you won't have enough left to send out ACKs and requests, which will significantly hurt your download speed.

I'm not sure where you're from, but in the US most 14 year olds don't drive their parents anywhere but crazy.
Oh nevermind, I see you have a nine year old. Enjoy the ride.
