While AV has caused me so many more problems than it has solved, I will never again recommend anyone to run without it (although I'll never force anyone either.) Mostly the embarrassment and risk of loss or compromise of not your data. IE it is really hard to explain to someone who's network data has just been destroyed, how much time not having AV installed on that machine has saved you or the operator. Also many people who seam very knowledgeable don't do the right thing, or don't understand how to handle the tradeoff of a faster PC cost them the need to be extra cautious.
, but don't they also CHECK FOR THIS STUFF AT THE BORDER?
well I am sure you already know the reason. It's generally easier to make 20 trips across the border with 5# of dope, than 1 with 100#. It is not easier to make 20 trips to Vegas than 1. So at some point they gather up all those who run/walk/bike with 5#, put that into 1 vehicle, and hit the road. 40 miles is too far to walk, so the transition should happen before then (then again the check point is known, so they may split it up again...)
It still has to suck for those who look Mexican to not be able to go anywhere without proof that it's legal for them to just be present.
I only disagree that all copyrights have to be exclusive. That is a very small portion (but necessary part) of copyright.
Composers as a example is good for me, the study I found showed out of a survey of 15,000 registered composers, 200 of them made over $20,000/year from that job (10 over $200,000); for most composing is not a job to make a living at.
so those 2% of composers should want exclusive copy control of their works, the rest likely have a first priority of getting these non producing works out their; under their name without corruption of their work, so they can get known.
no one is producing a system for use by this 98% (of composers), lots of solutions are being worked on to protect the privileged 2%. The 98% who are making next to nothing, wont pay for a system to make sure their works are not heard for free, let alone creating hurdles for their potential audience.
bit of a nitpick, but their are many (probably most) copyrighted works the author doesn't want any direct involvement, let alone a "exclusive right", especially for works intended to "enhance" the public domain. I think their is room for DRM that does what many creators want (what I want anyway) , and that's 1) credit for our work, and 2) assurance our audience has the real thing, not some low quality spoof that devalues this, and any future works. When I say "credit" sometimes that may be a path for money, but usually that is a BSD style "created by John Smith" or "derived from work by John Smith." Also anything that is good for society in the long term is going to eventually default back to a mode where you can use the work by default, rather than a "someone no longer has a profit motive want to maintain a authorization scheme for this work, so you lose all access to it for good."
Not any different than mail in ballots or provisional ballots, IE the container has to be identifiable all the way to a "authorized person" where the outer layer is stripped away (hopefully, since it is un-verifiable to the voter) then counted. At least with the digital layers it is trusting a machine (hopefully, and verified by a qualified group, since it is un-verifiable to the voter).
Dell is unfair. Dell sells a (relatively) few $1000+ laptops, so they naturally charge much higher premiums to keep them profitable (and typically sell these to corporations that don't care if they can save hundreds by installing upgrades themselves.) So comparing Dell's low volume high margin laptops (+ some high profit updates) to apple's latest, highest volume offering, then saying look how close they are. Is a slight to the PC manufacture, and really shows how good of brand name apple has built. Of course if a buyer is looking for every feature the Mac has, and doesn't feel comfortable cracking open a PC then absolutely the MacBook is a competitor. But lets not claim apple is not grabbing a premium over the PC market on them. I will admit their is a heavy performance penalty on the Dell products I have bought, but I have a clean XP image that undoes this for those computers, and you can always install as stripped down of a Linux/BSD install as you want.
well paint the key 0x09 F9... C0 Then they will have to blur out your house, or be in violation of the DMCA. (or arrest you, and paint your house; charging you government contractor rates to do so)
When you write anything, and retain the copyright, that is an asset.
but generally when you create something of value, you have to pay taxes on it. So if you claim income for writing that software, then absolutely you should come out even after the your deduction. Granted if you bought something with after tax money, like a car, then gave it to charity, you can claim that. But, if that item appreciated in value you would need to pay capital gains on the item, maybe coming out slightly ahead in taxes. So I agree with you statement, however either 1) your suggestion is to commit tax fraud that may be unlikely to get audited. or 2) left out the step where your taxes were unchanged because you also claimed it as income as well (the correct thing to do, but much simpler to just forget about mentioning it.)
no, but they would fear a million people all with shotguns.
When most people have small arms, invading forces have a few choices no matter how good of armor or weapons the invaders: 1) take out the leader, and politically convince the followers 2) convince the leader, and hope the followers follow 3) Kill everyone 4) Lose We see (again) in IRAQ that prolific small arms cannot be overcome be force alone, unless you decide to just kill everyone, and destroy most everything in the process. IE technically we can kill everyone with superior fire power, but most of the things of value goes with them. Having a government over no people means no government. It doesn't matter, if everyone has a shotgun, or a sub machine gun. If you can't take them alive one by one, then your going to need majority support. Without a decent projectile weapon, all they would need to enforce a entire population is a means of keeping a separation.
well, let say you had 25000 lights that you wanted to set to music from your cell phone, now you don't have to have buy a/4 netblock or have a vpn... just one fast cellphone.
isn't bit torrent, and mirohttp://www.getmiro.com/ better for this? I understand multi-cast saves the broadcaster, at the cost of everyone else (those who doesn't want the content, get bandwidth used anyway.) getting feeds from anyone who thinks everyone will want to see their content? I understand in the scenario where 10 people on the same wire would want it multicast, but is that ever realistic outside of a enterprise setting? With miro/torrent everyone who wants to see the content instantly becomes a mirror, if the packet priority is set correctly in the torrent their will be a delay in the start, but it's not like the whole download has to be complete or be available for miro to start playing (I think, not true for a torrent currently, but a possibility.)
"Mickey Mouse" is not actually going to show up to vote.
no, but he might send in a absentee ballot. It does seam very unlikely (at this point) that this election will be close enough to have any absentee ballot fraud on a scale to make a difference, that is not so obvious that it can be covered up. However their were some serious screw up's for them to not know that just pushing for "completed forms" would get any other result, other than some workers figuring out they could instead sit at home watching the baseball game, and just start filling in ballots with whoever happened to be at bat.
Yes, but some of us like to share, I would love to put a splitter on my laptop so 2 or 3 of us could listen to my laptop on the plane. However it's output is so limited that only sound isolating headphones were are loud enough, after a splitter to work on a noisy plane. What I wanted to do were place ear muffs over ear plugs, but no joy. So $250 later I now have a solution for 2 of us, instead of just another 1/2 watt of power in the laptop. (And BTW, I can now blow out my eardrums with 1 of these, same power that is barely audible in a standard headset.
I don't agree with the grand parent (engine brake is just fine and expected in modern engines)
other than the amount of fuel you put into the engine,
Exactly, if you run the engine lean it will kill the engine. fuel, soot, are also lubrication, during transitions you will be firing lean which is bad for valves, but a few thousand lean cycles won't be that meaningful to life. You won't have the lubrication, but since they removed the lead, all engines are being designed to reduce this need. Also it still builds alott of heat compressing air in your engine, even more than having it burning fuel every 4th pass (especially the valves that get lots less cooling.) evaporating fuel, and the greater air flow of open intake will actually cool your engine more than the (brief) firing. But don't shut the key off and open the throttle while engine braking, the added vacuum will suck oil past the rings, etc and burn it, bad for everything. Conclusion: Engine breaking will likely kill spark plugs, but their much cheaper and easier to replace than brake pads. Constant use may even take 5% of your engine life, since most engines (with better oils, and manufacturing and designs) should now last 300,000 before rebuild. Also the engine has never determined the life of any of my vehicles. Even if it does, taking 5% of a $1000 rebuild ($50) buys only one brake change, but removes dozens of brake changes.
I am curious what you drive? I drive a diesel pickup on a 20 mile trip to work with a large hill in the middle. My overall mileage using neutral down hill went from 19MPG to 23MPG (actual overall, the MPG gauge went from 20 to 26 overall.) Doing the same in a 4 cylinder 60hp car made little or no difference to it's MPG. Then again my truck idles 700rpm, 6th gear 55 mph is 2100 rpm, where the turbo starts kicking in. her car goes from 1200rpm in 5th to 900 rpm idle (maybe I need to kill the AC as well.) I noticed some newer (pickup) automatics shifting out of lockup while costing at speed, so again neutral at stop lights still helps, not sure neutral while moving is needed for many vehicles.
No extra losses if you bury high voltage DC power-lines. Since we got the tech to do DC now, and it should work better for solar anyway. ( the alternating current causes a ringing current between any capacitance and inductance, DC only during load changes would you have to pay the cost of inductance, not constantly like AC.
no one is going to look at the contents of your laptop
they're have been over 20 lawsuits filed against US customs for them doing that exact thing (how many didn't sue?). So it is very unlikely the someone from customs will look at your laptop data. But not a absolute by any means.
Now the likely hood of those outside of US customs (ie a thief or friend, etc) looking at it is infinitely more likely. They may even blackmail you with that data. So it is a very good idea for him to encrypt the incriminating photos,etc and a few other things for kicks. I wouldn't worry about the video files ripped from DVD, at most rename them to something less obvious (for windows just change the extension, they won't even play then) Besides if you watching them on the plane the air Marshall seeing(and caring) you play them is slightly more likely anyway. Since entering the US is the only time you'd see customs just delete them as you watch And empty the recycle bin (restore from backup once home.)
truecrypt to the rescue, whether you setup a actual partition, or a file to be mounted as a partition, truecrypt can have multiple passwords that each extract different files, one stats at the end of the partition, the other at the beginning. Since neither algorithm knows the others data exists, filling more than half of your file/partition is risky. since you can also due partitions inside of partitions, you can setup as many distress passwords (ie put text files with password reminders only you could get...)
Certainly any sort of jail time would be excessive to say the least.
well, if this a isolated incident and the data wasn't acted upon for personal profit... That seams the most likely, but it is worthwhile to ask a few questions and see what turns up, not just blindly decide it was all in good fun, and move along (and maybe a big threat is required to do that.) Didn't Watergate start as little more than suspected vandalism? I currently have more respect for Obama than the others, but I sure would be pissed if later this was the start of a more meaningful trail, that was dropped for want of simplicity.
a tape of the defendant would not be allowed; it would have to go on the pretrial exhibit list and both sides would have a copy.
Isn't this only true if the tape is not introduced in reaction to testimony. IE once the plaintiff and defendant have both entered contradictory statements of the event, then a tape could be introduced to add some credentials to one side. But as standalone evidence (IE in place of testimony) then it is almost never admitted. So in the case of perjury in a civil suit it would makes sense? In his other example where the defendant didn't show, the Judge was absolutely correct to not even consider entering it in evidence.
If a cop is caught committing perjury, the judge should be empowered to summarily strip him or her of their badge and gun the moment they get off the witness seat.
But then with all the cops unemployed who would protect the crispy creams of the world?(/joke) I have even had a judge try to make me feel better after finding me guilty (in traffic court) by telling me he knew the cop was lying. IMHO that is somewhat why jury trials (with a good lawyer) usually gets found innocent. When (some/most???) COPS give a ticket (etc), they are convinced it is justified. So what I see is COPS will state whatever they think is needed to get a conviction. Since they see the other side do this so often, and their is no punishment they (IMHO) think their justified. the 3 problems with this is: (1) Knowing this, good Lawyers know how to make COPS lie, then get the jury to see this, so guilty get off. (2) cops don't always know the law, so (unrepresented) innocent get convicted. (3) Cops may not know, or have had time to get the needed facts, and again convict the innocent.
So definitely judges are to blame for the problems in court, not just the purgers.
Actually the article explains, that their is a different transmitter for the SMS/message/misc data (not clear if it is on a separate carrier frequency, or just a lower data rate that travels better.) So the reason is this data is not sharing bandwidth with voice data. Basically if the data bandwidth gets saturated the voice path will fall apart, but if the voice path gets saturated the data part can still work. Since cell phone voice traffic is digitized and sent as digital signal. message/sms is sent as a digital. Morse code travels well because it's a digital (granted all sent as a analog). So actually the reason voice travels poorly on amateur radio is unrelated. I assumed the same as you, that I knew, according to the article we didn't.
well, in theory we could go the way of propane. IE you "rent" a common designed battery and they swap you a fully charged one at the service station for a fee. Of course that requires having a universal size, connection, and a quick method of switching something probably in the 100-200# range. Also since the life of efficient battery is (currently) short, and their not dense. The efficiency of dense batteries (like lead acid) makes them almost the same cost as burning fuel, their is still not a reason to spend $35,000 except for pure vanity (or you own a power plant, so you pay no markup and no delivery loss through power lines.)
iPhone is not a business device as long as it is run by a fascistic policy.
