No, you can't always do this, and it would be good if more places filtered properly. ISP's should filter packets egressing from their networks that do not originate from their network. This prevents spoofing attacks from originating on their networks. If you want a foreign IP address to egress their network, you may need BGP routing set up to announce that route as legitimate... but they won't even talk to you about it via DSL - last time I looked into it I needed to be worthy of a/19 network before they'd talk BGP.
but at least the weather here never tries to KILL you. Any day of the year, anywhere in the country, you can step outside for the whole day and you won't die
One wild round or accidental discharge and you may have killed an innocent bystander. So, for a lot of people, that's too much of a risk. Me, for instance. I may not have any compunction about defending myself with lethal force, if I could assure myself to nearly 100% certainty that only my attacker and possibly myself will suffer. But bullets don't stop when you miss your target, and that's why I won't risk 'em. A reasonable consideration, and the reason I haven't bought a gun *yet*. However, the other solution is to practice with the gun so you can be more proficient and have a better chance of using it well. That's what I have been doing, and when I can afford the gun, I will also practice frequently to be sure I know how to control it. I'm all for gun control, and I plan to be as proficient as possible at controlling my gun.:)
Say what? I live in Kansas but haven't heard of this development. We did just pass a concealed weapon law though... complete with idiotic "No Guns" signs that ban concealed guns in establishments with the signs. Dumb.
That is interesting, because I thought it was China that was being punished because they have an overly controlling government that believes in suppressing freedom(apparently as in speech and beer in this case). I'm sure China feels *soooo* punished. Oh the agony. </sarcasm>
If the text posted above is accurate, this is technically an ex post facto law... it doesn't change the legality of what was done before, it simply makes it illegal to prosecute those past crimes.
even though I run GNU/Linux and do not use any Microsoft products, what's to prevent Microsoft or some other vendor from breaking into my system Good security? That *is* one of the benefits of Linux over windows, you know.
Guns as such don't bother me. Guns in hand and pointed in my general direction bother me very, very much. As it should. One thing I noticed as I was first learning to handle guns - it's actually harder than you'd think to keep from accidentally pointing it places, while reloading magazines *wink* and talking with the guys on the range.
I mean, it takes active thought at first to keep it intentionally pointing in a safe direction. After a while it becomes habit, but it's a habit you have to create.
Again, that's why I'm all for gun control... everyone should have some practice controlling one.
Sounds like you need some more firearms education. Sure I got a bit more to learn, but at least I'm not freaked out by them. I think you're being a bit too picky though.
Clip and magazine are often interchangeable in common use.
Every handgun I have used has a safety of some kind. I've used S&W, Kimber, and HK. Been rather fond of the HK USP. My circle of friends tend to not like Glocks.
Sure, if carrying for defense, you might have a round chambered but even then, I insist on a safety.
Few incidents are such that there is not time to rack the slide, and the sound has a certain chilling effect on those who aren't expecting it, which may help to diffuse the situation without firing(1) - a better outcome if possible. If I don't have time to rack the slide, I probably am not fast enough to draw anyway.
If these people were scared by the mere presence of a few guns, this seriously worries me about the future of the 2nd amendment Yes, it is worrisome. I can't believe how much anti gun rhetoric I hear from people who don't really know anything about it. Truth is, until you actually fire a gun, you don't really understand them. I was kinda nervous around guns, until I had fired a few.
I'm all for gun control: I've worked on my gun handling skills to make sure that I know what to do with a gun. Things like, never point a gun where you wouldn't want it to go off, always safe the gun (and unchamber it) when not in use, and always inspect the gun to verify its condition and state when you pick it up. Even when a law enforcement friend hands me a gun, I will still check the safety, clip and chamber, because I am responsible for it.
I think if more people would do this sort of thing, they wouldn't find guns to be intimidating. The mere presence of a gun does not intimidate me, and a gun in the presence of someone who is obviously competent is a welcome sight. I only get nervous around noobs that don't have the experience in gun control.
Yes and the purpose of a gun is to kill. Not necessarily. The purpose of a gun may also be to say "I have the power the protect myself, my property, and my rights". Sometimes killing happens in the process.
since it used a gravity assist to get into this orbit, I highly doubt it can in any way adjust its orbit enough to make it useful, unless another planet happens to stumble by... and since it intersects the orbital plane only twice per orbit, that's pretty bad odds too.
Oh it will probably get to the sun eventually, if it doesn't run into something else, but it will be dead long before.

Um, you can. X windows runs on my macbook pro, and I've run apps off my linux box on here. I use ssh -X for X tunneling though.
I thought the crumple effect was due to the frame, not the skin - a lot of cars have fiberglass or some composite anyway... The skin is just too weak to help with collisions.
A lot of people are questioning the crash safety, but the metal skin of a car doesn't really have anything to do with that anyway. Stuff flying up on the road could be a problem, though it seems like that stuff always hits and chips the windshield.
I think the most obvious danger would be someone taking a knife to the skin to break into the car and hotwire it. Or is this material stronger than that?
Ok, I'll bite. What makes MVC a "piss poor model" for web applications? Because the web, like he said, is stateless. A request comes in, the server compiles and constructs this whole MVC structure from the scripting language, with 1 page object, 1 database object, etc. etc., generates 1 page, and then.. well then it throws everything away. Which shows that you haven't grasped everything that Rails does. There are several layers of caching involved to avoid throwing things away when possible. Many of the resources remain in memory for reuse, also; this isn't the dark ages of CGI.
And why do I need a clock gadget when there's one already in the system tray? The default clock in windows is next to useless, when it comes to looking at the calendar. I hate the double click needed to open it, and the mechanism for changing months is horrible. I like the Gnome version which is much more click friendly.
Mass is also known to us through its inertial effect, i.e. the relation between a force on an object and the resulting acceleration. If something had negative mass, then pushing on it would make it come toward you. That sounds really dangerous when antimatter is involved!
I suppose it depends on what you push with. Pushing with antimatter would behave as expected. Pushing with matter, well, it blows up so who knows?
The tech is certainly more complicated than that, and a lot of things have been modified, but it *does* feel very unixish overall. Thus the "BSD with pretty graphics" makes sense to me. It's a close description, if not completely accurate.
I love my macbook, it's got a great interface but has the power and flexibility of a unix system. I use Linux for all my servers, but for a general use laptop, OS X is wonderful. It's certainly not a toy.

You think a shotgun, rifle, and/or handgun is armed to the teeth? I hope you never run into the *real* weirdos.

Many farmers around here carry firearms, for use against wild predators. The use to scare off unwanted people is just incidental.
Oh, and I don't know of any farmhands around here that call themselves "staff".
