I don't think SysAdmins can get that kind of virus on Second Life.
Actually, I heard our state's person in charge of this sort of thing talk a couple years ago. Rapid quarantine is key to limiting exposure in the population, and anything that can provide greater virtual access to quarantined homes is a good thing. A second reason why quarantine will be widespread is because we have no more infrastructure to handle emergency cases than they had last time when they were setting up cots in armories.
Which group do you think is more likely to acknowledge that they have a mental problem? The group with the redneck who beats his dog, or the one with the goth chick who cuts on herself?
About sums up my experience growing up rural. A certain brutish, unthinking crudeness. On the odd chance one of Maslow's higher needs creeps into mind, it can be drowned with booze or religion.
"In the first test, they viewed 33 images, three of which were distressing or threatening: a large spider on the face of a frightened person; a dazed person with a bloody face; and maggots in an open wound. The scientists measured the electrical conductance of the skin, a standard measure of distress and arousal.
In the second test, the volunteers were subjected to a loud, unexpected noise..."
OK, so the stimuli were "neutral".
Nonetheless, I have a lot of trouble with "protecting the social order". Fear of "ferriners" is one thing. Fear of your own government is another thing? Isn't the desire to maintain the constitution and the rule of law "protecting the social order"? Isn't a desire to maintain strong health, education and welfare "protecting the social order"? Spending for infrastructure? National health care? Protecting the environment? etc. A lot of conservation isn't getting labeled "Conservative" in American society these days which makes critical discussion a little schizophrenic.
EVERYTHING _M_U_S_T_ be air-conditioned at all times. From what we heard from France during their last heat wave a few years ago, air-conditioning isn't universal in the First World. Therefore, it must sound strange that air-conditioning is a inviolate moral imperative in all offices in the US. My wife has a sweater with her at work at all times even if it is July or August. Same for me. 100% wool. When it is 95 outside and 68 inside, I want nothing more than to hibernate -- like seriously drift off to sleep. I've worn gloves with the fingers cut out in July at my keyboard. I've sneaked in an incandescent lamp to warm my hands (please, sir, just a lump of coal?). I've gotten on my chair and stuffed paper towels in air ducts.
If management can't see that they are air-conditioning some of their people into productivity loss, not to mention pain, how much more likely are they to reduce air-conditioning on their precious equipment? No, doesn't matter whether one experiment shows it would save big money. The person who suggests reducing air-conditioning in the U.S. will be about as popular at his business as if he had suggested commissioning a portrait of Karl Marx on the lunch room wall. This just isn't a technical issue.
The courts will likely rule pretty quick that they can copy an image of your system for further investigation, but since forensics on a PC can be done in a few days tops, if they can't provide further proof of illegal activity to a court quickly, a lawyer will very quickly have that system released back into your hands
Three words: four month backlog (like Steve Jackson Games). I have full confidence they can shop for a judge who will let them get around to it when they feel the hell like getting around to it. Hope it's a good system worth retrieving -- unless you know a lawyer who works for free.
A little late for either of you now, but, on your first point, I took a housing inspection class at my local U. The "final exam" was the introductory Appraisal Society exam so everything else was "exercises". As one of these exercises they took us to a house and told us to find out what was wrong. I think most of us did a first glance through and went, "Eh, not _too_ bad". Then he explained that it was a property bought for Section 8 dispersed housing but was uninhabitable because there were so many things wrong with it, toured us through to point them out, and explained that they were pondering how best to ethically and legally get dump it. Not a bad investment in knowledge.
On the second point, I have a niece-in-law who was the walking incarnation from the TV screen of Kelly Bundy at first introduction (only more gorgeous than Christina Applegate). She and the similarly high school educated boyfriend she eventually married bought a 100+ year-old dump with holes in the walls when the 90+ year-old finally had to give it up. They've done wonders with it structurally and had the sense to respect and restore the antique craftsmanship. So think of it as a challenge. If "Kelly Bundy" can do it, so can you. Definitely a change from IT but definitely some hard work too.
It isn't like most high schools offer informal logic or the history of scientific methodology as separate classes.
I don't have serious disagreement with the article. I think much of what he is saying speaks directly to the practice of pedagogy and is not promoting the creationist belief system per se. Maybe we are assuming that since he is an Anglican priest, he is being less than sincere in his objectivity?
We think Disney is bad? Imagine if the bible were copyrighted. It'd run the eternal life of the author plus 75 years. But with a religion so blatantly a business like scientology, what will copyright be like _next_ century?
Presumably a normal curve: the lights go out the 17th, Best Buy has a busy week selling converter boxes, the media have something to report on, and it'll all work out. With the frequency of TV commercials about the conversion now, the non-stupid should only blame their own laziness.
Visited a couple network booths during our recent state fair to ask them when they would go 16:9 like their competitor NBC and their local news. Got a cameraman doing duty handing out posters at one and it wasn't very encouraging. Standardizing on 720p by February "but for all our cameras!" Got a lecture on how much this stuff costs and I lost count of how many times he phrased something in the hypothetical. "If you watch 1080, yes, you will notice a difference." I made a point at each time to tell him that, yes, I _do_.
So if the stations aren't in a competitive rush to get everything up and standardized at a high level, I wonder whether the majority of the public are very interested either.
I think you may right if he is talking terminal high school careers. What he is really looking for are materials to teach people to be receptionists and office assistants. That will be a competitive enough goal for a high school grad considering how many people with two and four-year liberal arts degrees are doing it with more advanced vocabulary, writing and people skills. Which is to say Office, Office and more Office. Intro to computers means how to get around Windows and networking is how to find your files, share them and print.
If he is really talking about A+ and Net+, and we are probably talking one semester each, I guess an A+ or Net+ book with labs. I think Karnaugh diagrams would be a little crazy but somehow integrating logic at an informal level into how effective troubleshooting works would be so valuable. Where besides obtusely in geometry do kids get introduced to thinking logically in high school?
In either case, it would be nice if there were a project the kids could put on their resume and talk about. Something they can _show_ in the case of office skills. And give the kids a detailed syllabus explicitly explaining that it can be cribbed to write their resume.
Since you have all this figured out from reading the mainstream media, I'm sure you know that these moles are volunteers and only get paid of there are arrests. Plenty of incentive to provoke arrests one way or another.
Maybe there's work at the Wall Street School of English that advertises on their TV. "I'm not a loser anymore. I speak English! Now I've got a job -- and a girlfriend!!" Love to be in a position to know how that goes over.
As for city vs. country I worked next to a girl from Paris for a couple years and my boss had a great time there on his vacations -- which is why he hired a girl from Paris. I recently read a FAQ by a "relocation advisor" that you can expect the rural French to be straight out of "Jean de Florette" -- or Deliverance for an American analogy. They'll skin anybody who isn't a local alive, Parisienne or etranger.
None. Looked at my contract several years ago when it first became available. "We don't guarantee your payment will arrive on time and aren't responsible for late fees." Screw that.
Linux user downloading ISOs, including some "let's try this" distros, and updates for multiple machines, use stream like cable radio, watch some YouTube, but I still have to wonder whether I'd go over 250. Not crazy about monitoring in principle but if they are for real in coding that variable into the monitoring software it might be the limit where I wouldn't complain in practice.
Unfortunately, it's a moving target. Won't it be great when every page has hi-def Flash ads?
I think he is saying it could lead to confusion in prison. Will he come off "cracker" enough to really fit in as a member of the Aryan Nation?
Yes, a joke. They'll probably keep him in a solitary box where he'll go slowly insane with no access to anything electronic like they did with Kevin Mitnick so he doesn't hack the prison security system with a pocket calculator.
But he made the security of the military of the United States of America look stupid. To remove light from their mediocrity it is necessary standard operating procedure to cast him in the light of a super hacker and crucify him to the full extent of their power (or the law, whichever is greater today).
I know a guy who probably never bought a copy of Windows in his life, and he has been telling me how wonderfully superior Windows is to linux and other OSes for about the last decade. He updates, so I can hardly wait for his email.

the US may wake up one morning and find that it has pissed away its advantage
Might want to check out the news the last couple weeks.

Aren't warrants so outmoded these days?
At least Szostak's protocells will be sucked into the black hole saving the rest of the universe. Busy week!

Who uses OS/2
Cheapskates. I can play my original Galactic Civilizations Gold CD on its natal OS (virtually with qemu of course).
Same way I play Chuck Yeager's Air Combat on DOS, a ton of stuff on Windows 98 now-and-then and run XP regularly.

Yup, it's Microsoft.
Run XP in Qemu/kvm on Debian. I guess windows give you IIS development.
I vote "whatever" with many. You've used Ubuntu, stick with Ubuntu.
