I normally shoot with friends. 1000 rounds of ammo in an hour is nothing when you have several people. 1000 calls in an hour isn't the way to make police happy.
you simply let your cops know that you're about to go out for a shoot. whats wrong with that?
all non-logging guns are recalled, the only legal guns are loggers, and each state has its own local procedure for verifying shooting activities. *not* preventing them, but simply giving responsible citizens a way of shooting safely.
if the gun is logging, and reports its gps and stats to a monitoring system, then any un-coordinated shoots that occur; i.e. those in an emergency, get attention.
i know people want 'privacy in their gunshoots', but for what reason, whatsoever, would you ever want to hide the fact of a gunshot from emergency services?
I'm just one person. There are many people in my town who shoot, some of them shoot weekly. If the cops ignore anyone who shoots (even though they shoot often and are known good guys), then the bad guys will just take those guns to do their crimes with. The cops will ignore a murder because a good guy is always shooting that gun.
well, the hypothetical 'logging-gun' concept is really something that would have to be handled federally. this is the real problem with it.
the reason is you have to recall non-logging guns, and have a moratorium on their destruction. so, the only legal gun would be a logger.
Oh wait! The time between the bad guy pulling the trigger, and a person dieing is seconds. It often takes cops several minutes to respond to an emergency. (and police are there minutes before fire and medical services in every case I've seen) That's plenty of time for the bad guy to leave the scene.
if an 'un-coordinated' shoot occurs, it doesn't matter how long it takes a cop to get there, as long as they're getting there to check it out. if the bad guy leaves the scene in the meantime, its still a lot shorter response, and more culpability (as well as evidence), in solving the case...
If it weren't for us, you'd probably be speaking German.
thanks to you, i'm speaking american.. your point?
Ubuntu straight-to-disk worked fine for me..
on
Live CD for PPC?
·
· Score: 4, Informative
or at least the one on the PPC Ubuntu CD I downloaded after that same article.. and I used it to install Ubuntu on a spare partition on my aging tiBooks' disk, and its a dual-boot fantasy machine, finally.
linux+OSX, easy as pie. But maybe I skipped the "LiveCD"-ness of it?
can't say i like the debian'ness, but its nice to have linux on PPC, and have it be at least as smooth an install as OSX is...
You want me to prove my capacity for making peace by meeting you face to face and 'getting my ass kicked'? I'll save you the hassle, friend, and try this instead:
I know what a U.S. Soldier can do to the enemy. I've seen it. I'm not even in the slightest bit underestimating the right of a U.S. Soldier to holy high-order role of fighting war machine, el-primo numero-uno status.
But there is nothing honorable about being a fighting, killing machine. It is the lowest run of the ladder, almost, for every human being..
Being good at it, doesn't mean being right at doing it, though.
The fact that your culture - and you in fact, as a product of that culture - choose to resort to violent physical means as a way of 'demonstrating things', is why its been so easy for power-mongers to turn the 'honorable' U.S. War Machine into the fascist force de jour..
In short: you are a monkey, mr. U.S. Soldier. dance like one!
umm.. yeah.. and the people have not revolted about it (yet), so well, i'm doing fine just blaming the entire nation for fucking up control of its weapons of mass destruction. america sucks!:P oil war, poo!
It may sound like I'm joking, but I'm serious: there are far, far too many people in the world that look at the US as some lust/hate object.
yeah, about those 'lust/hate' objects:
We have enough asshats already, so your absence, while not at all noted, is appreciated... is this not considered hate-speech in the United States?
I despise the United States for its utter and undeniable ignorance. I have lived there, I know its rewards.. but I also know its utter depravities. It is incorrigible that the people of the United States do not have the courage to bear witness to the crimes committed in their name, nor the intelligence to understand that 'freedom' means 'responsibility for all acts committed in your name'.
US 'supremacy' and 'nationalistic nailbiting' in random discussions on our fat-o'-the-land free forums is one thing. Million-dollar bombs where there should've been water pumps and irrigation canals is another thing entirely.
Its not so hard to run either windows/DOS or linux in a VM with debug/trace turned on, logging all, for analysis. Its not something that 'takes a lot of time', just a bit of effort.
the beautifulness of this article (which i haven't read) is that it (probably) frames the difference between two OS's on the basis of 'stupidest luser thing to type', and thus is interesting to.. guess i'll go read the article now..
umm.. yeah.. in this day and age of the good ol' net, i pretty much don't have an 'over here', but whatever television is available wherever i am, is rarely of any consequence to me..
good books, on the other hand. libraries. museums. far more intriguing, honestly..
umm.. yeah, those democrats didn't know what they were signing into law. the Patriot Act didn't get a standard run through the House, or the Senate; it was quickied through before anyone had a chance to even review it, at a time when the nation was paralyzed by fear (Anthrax) psych-ops..
the American System failed, not just the Democrats. total bum-job, america was fucked from the start of 9/11 onwards...
The problem of terrorism is due to almost exclusively people who are not American citizens.
The 'problem' with terrorism is in its definition. Who says what a terrorist is, and who says what a terrorist does? Find that person, and you have found someone who stands to profit from both sides of the terror coin.
Terror'-ism' is a pop-psych brain-trick designed to herd the masses towards a desired point of view. It is not a valid argument for civilization, nor is it a valid argument for war. To treat 'terrorism' as if it were a new problem, and not as old as the hills in which we build our cities, is to attempt to re-define it for political gain in the new language landscape presented by the modern American empire, and its media.
Any foolish 'patriot' who falls into the trap of believing that someone who does not 'hate terrorism' is an enemy of their land, has become a victim in point of fact of terrorist ideology...
Terrorism is an ideology. Those who define that ideology are the true terrorists.
What the hell are you talking about? America chooses to target and attack civilians with large bombs all the frickin' time and you don't see anyone rising up, taking up arms, and calling for a revolution against them, do you?
Oh, wait.
American 'situational ethics' is corrupting that country and turning its people into mindless plebes. THERE IS NO EFFECTIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES OF OKLAHOMA CITY AND FALLUJA! In both cases, humans died who should not have, horrible, horrible deaths of utter depravity.
I'm not saying McVeigh is a hero. I put him in the SAME list as I put so-called American Soldiers: Criminal Brainwashed Murderers.
I don't pay for American-made movies or media (what a ripoff, its such trash!), I don't drink Coke (poison!), I sure as fuck do not belong to the Nike cult (which is a Globalist organization, by the way, its not American any more, nossir!), and the only American music I like is already 20 years old or so.. besides a few hiphop artists that is, but I'm not buying their tunes, I'm only listening..
America is dead. Long live America. Pity Americans don't see it, but they will.. oh boy, how they will..
Because of PATRIOT Act, I have completely cut all involvement with America down to whatever interaction happens on the Internet with a few Americans I know, and a close circle of friends I occasionally stay in touch with and see when they travel the world.
I no longer work with Americans. I no longer travel to the U.S. for business. (trade shows &etc) I'm not taking any chances; the U.S. has become a techno-militaristic fascist state, and no longer represents to me, a member of the so-called "free world", the bastion of freedom and expression that it once did.
The U.S. is a Cop, and you don't hang with cops if you don't have to. And if you have to, you don't want to.
I'm not saying we don't pay too much.. forget that a big part of the reason we have such high health care costs is because the US funds most.. pharmaceuticals. If you reduce what we pay, you will reduce the research being done, unless you find another way to pay for it.
[..snip..].. We need to cut costs because it is getting too expensive, but we must do it *carefully*, because the reductions won't be impact-free...
[..snip..]..And that's a bad thing for human health.
The US is high most of the time. Thats not good for a nation.
if they want to have a 'real' "best app on POWER" contest, then make the First Prize a stonkin' POWER-based system.
If the Prius has a POWER in it, I apologize for my ignorance in advance. Generally, I detest automobiles and the kind of culture they have given mankind, so I have a bias against 'a car prize', but I think I could put its CPU to good use, if its got one..
.. is because its a 'resource loop', where all races are 'balanced'.
okay, how about this: the humans eat the elephants (and use them for war), the lizards eat the humans, and the elephants eat whatever the hell they want.
Supplying a complete source to your proprietary kernel doesn't sound like a very secure way of achieving your stated goal.
yeah, since i've stated so many goals that you've noticed, i'm surprised you missed the one that says that such a system is to allow the continued-update of custom-compiled code, per machine. on silicon.
okay, if you've got an electron-microscope, its probably going to be fun competing with you, but only if..
Someone with access to the right equipment will happily trace what is going on inside and copy out the needed data as it goes streaming out from the decryptor.
yeah, well, pretty much 'soonish' it will mean you'll need a fuck of a lot of really good equipment to do it, because SOC vendors will get online and we'll have your 'encryptor' and 'decryptor' be a few micromillimeters apart from each other.
the fact that you can go from 'CPU firmware' to 'booted OS with Apps' in one fell sweep of a source tree, means you can also easily integrate such a device into a managed software system.
(the way to encrypt software is to keep encrypting software...)
That's a lot of RAM and CPU time for an embedded device.
I was going to knee-jerk "No it isn't!!:P" but then I realized that I have no clue what you're talking about. How much RAM and CPU is in your embedded device?
