"features including 42 hidden pockets that can be wired together through the jacket lining"
Am I the only one who read this and thought 'automatic logging war-walking'... anystreet USA... GPS reciever, lappy in backpack... Solar to extend running hours... and just start walking... -all day-...
Amen, and I would go so far as to say, when everyone on the highway is moveing say... 10MPH over the speed limit. And regardless of which lane your in, your moveing at the speed limit... Your a bigger risk to the other motorists, than if ya were moveing with the flow of traffic. And for every lane leftwards that this takes place, the risk continues to go up, cause your forceing other drivers to have to accomidate, which inevitably, some do better than others (tempers notwithstanding)...
Allright, time for me to do my trollfeeding for the day. All I know, is when I was in Elementary School, we would recite that pledge, and I still know it by heart today. There is -nothing- inherantly wrong with it. And on the context of McCarthy... more and more recent evidence continues to prove him -right-. You make it sound like he added that phrase 'under God' personally, and that 'big brother' is trying to cram it down our throughts... I got news for ya, you dont like that line, you have every right not to say it when reciting the pledge... But as for me and 90% of the rest of America, we like it the way it is, and see no reasonable, nor good, reason to change it.
"Do away with tolls and that $400 Million comes from taxpayers instead."
And... you -are- a taxpaying member of that state correct? And you -are- already paying this so called toll (read tax) in addition to your normal taxes? How is paying it as a tax any different than paying it as a toll??? As it stands, tolls are an inacurate method of taxation because they are not truely porportunate, since they obviously discriminate against those who chose, or must, travel much. Tolls serve only one reasonable purpose, and that is payback on road/bridge/tunnel construction. After those dues are payed, the toll system should be shut down.
Prepaid EZPass, quite the brilliant idea... Heck, if conveniance stores can sell lotery tickets, they should be able to sell little tags ya hang on your rear-view mirror or such... But, as you put rather well, they -want- to be able to track, -IF- the need should arise... like we will ever have a say in that in the first place.
Nicely put sir, I wish we had more posters as informed. It is truely alarming how few people in this nation even realize the Constitution was primarily limitations on the government, not limitations on the citizens... as it is often interpreted today. Even less feel obligated to take any sort of action, but thankfully, as you pointed out, a good many of us feel the need, and fufill it, to atleast get our voices heard, through this public moderated media that/. has created, wisely, for this amung many other reasons. Continue to post bravely sir, and keep up the good work!
how long till they install a radar speed checker to coordinate with the EZPass systems info on who you are? Yes, for solving crimes, this is a decent method of tracking those who dont mind giving up some privacy.... but then again, those who dont want to be caught, and have a grain of sense, wouldent have one of these. So it probably helps only when going after the -not as bright as the rest- crooks. As for devorce records... thats a bit more sketchy... I think a warrant or similar check-and-balance should be in place before the records are accessable. If lawyers can get at them... who knows what this world is comeing too.
You are most correct sir... You dont -have- to change the kernel on the fly... this binary workarround useing the ntfs.sys driver is in user-land... Use the Open Read-Only NTFS driver to mount the NTFS partition read-only (which Knoppix does per default)... and then give the user the -option- to remount read/write, useing the ntfs.sys that they have on one of thier partitions (suposedly) at which point some automated script looks it up, CPs it into the RAM drive, and does the workaround magic on it, allowing the NTFS partition to now be remounted read/write.... Viola... first time linux users useing Knoppix can now write thier NTFS drives reliably.
Nothin like a new kernel to break the deadlock on stiff joints... I notice some much needed updates have been done to the pl2303 USB-Serial driver... which I use to talk to my cellphone (motorolla v100), but have had issues with... namely hanging, and not letting go of the device... I'm hopeing the fixes solved this bug... Just goes to show, its still very much a work in progress, and hopefully, the progress, and change, never ends.
"It takes one to know one". Any sucessfull hacker knows how a hacker goes about caseing/looking at a prospective system. So, such an individual knows the ways to make a system less appealing/suseptable to such attacks. Some of the best network security experts are 14y olds with nothing better to do (yea, I mean no life). The good majority of them know more than the high payed 'security consultants' who were born 'pre-internet'.
You still miss the point sir. This guy is trying to get a daily (acurate to 24 hour) map of the web goin. -So-... if your server isnt on today, it wont show up on -todays- map, but if its on tomorrow, then its on that map... The dynamic nature of this project truely opens it up for new and un-considered possibilities.
So they want to spend X-Million $$$ to replace 'old and deteriorateing tech' on the station... Sorry, but at only three years... either A) it was very poorly engineered... or B) we didnt learn a dang thing from Mir about how long something can be made to work. Yes, Mir wasnt as safe as it should be up there, yes Mir was out-dated... but dang, the thing -worked-... They should spend those $$$ on finishing the dang thing first, then we worry about upgrades.
Sony initially, way back when, -did- have a MD-data devision. -but- you couldent use regular music MD blanks. Since the music standard came later on. This is a shame to me... because I believe your right. MD not only has a good format (MO) but also has a great case design. I have had MDs I have stepped on, dropped, set computer towers on inadvertantly... that still worked. If only floppies were so reziliant... All of that -and- if one wants, one can put a snap-over cover over the MD for further protection. Add in the fact that they arent nearly as suseptable to magnetic interferance, and you have yourself a rather well built datavault... So yea, SONY... bring em back as a floppy replacement... I know I'd buy one!
Nicely put sir. I have been saying this for years now, and have only been ignored. The most common answer is "It has the internet." To which I say "yes... it lets you contact the internet... but not without going through -its- graphical interface, not without seeing -its- advertizements, and not without being steered twards -its- favorite canidates to provide certain services... ala weather, tv listings, etc." to which the majority respond "Ohh... why would I want to use any other?" To the ones I dont like... I almost yell "Cause the others are BETTER!"... to the ones I feel pitty for, I just shake my head and walk away... If only others could see this simple fact, that AOL isnt an ISP... just a PSP. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
On the point of formidable companies helping out. Yes, for now it is a good thing. But we must beware, that those who 'help' us, are doing so with the right motives. For if they have a motive other than what we are going for, we may get stabbed in the back... We dont need to be the little dogs that get the big dogs fighting.... for whichever big dog wins... they most certainly could cut us to ribbons.
And I just got a call from Lucifer.... he is -flat vexed- over the ice forming on his floor, really beginning to wonder if ice-skates might be comeing into season down there!
Or, if ya use Opera, and put up with the ocasional formatting issues.... It supports it in its right click menu on selected text natively. The zoom also works on images too, not just a textual zoom like in mozilla... and ya cant beet the speed...
For all intents and purposes, Miami is practically another nation now. It has been taken over. And our nation as a whole is under invasion across our entire southern border... its time we did something.
Its all about the airspeed over the wings. All the 25mph wind gained them was 25mph less they had to be running down the runway to take off. In a 100mph+ wind a modern aircraft can take off vertically, provided its faceing directly into the wind, and that the wind is stable. In thery, useing 0ft of runway. So, the point is, yes, they probably would have done it without the 25mph wind, but not in the ammount of runway they had, which was really just wooden rails IIRC. They were pretty severely limited on space there.
But if -you- RTFA, you would note, he -did- actually acheive fusion in the thing. Albeit, only a few molecules a minute, way to low to ever be used as a power source, but the device -did- fuse Deuterium ions. Which does have the side effect of generating the neutron radiation, which is negligable, as the article mentiones, no more than airline passengers are exposed to (being up there with a little less atmospheric cover).
