Delusional? Almost certainly, and as equally as the "occult" that you oppose so vehemently.
I understand that it's a lot easier to turn off the thinking, rational part of your brain and say, "There are demons at work here." It's also throwing away the very same gift of reason that God gave you in the first place. I'm all for chalking something up to "mysteries of the universe," don't get me wrong--but the time for that is after you've exhausted the logical possibilities. Judging from the post you made here, I don't think you've done that.
For one thing, you never seem to have considered the possibility that you're hearing things. For another, you never gave thought to the possibility that somehow you were creating the noise. Third, you instantly label something "demon" when for all you know it was the Archangel Gabriel.
People should stay the hell away (no pun intended) from the whole concept of spiritual warfare unless they really know what they're doing. And you don't.
Is an Air Force publication and falls under their rules and Air Force rules with regard to photo alteration. We crop; we adjust levels and curves; and we saturate between 10-15 percent to compensate for the color you lose when you transition from the digital image to paper. If security requires, we'll "black out" license plates, ID cards, etc., in such a way that it's clear we've altered the photo for security purposes. Anything else gets the image labeled as a photo illustration -- and the "anything else" has to be obvious to the viewer.
Even cropping, though, can fall into an ethical gray area depending on what you're cropping out of a picture. It's the same issue whether you crop in Photoshop or in the camera's frame of view, but in my experience, it's more "acceptable" to crop a picture with the camera than it would be to crop the same picture in Photoshop.
It takes a while to fire a Navy captain (equivalent of a Colonel in the other services). I'm sure she'll be "asked to retire" as soon as the civilian court proceedings are over with.
There is a screenshot from wordpad of the data sent; it's an XML-type document which appears to have pulled a couple of id/hash numbers out of the system registry, e.g. OS version, but no personal info.
Based on your early blogs, it sounds a lot like a virus turned your computer(s) into a botnet. Did you ever take a look into that angle to see if that's what was causing your problem?
I always wonder... do businesses really think they're immune to the affairs of their "mother country?" I'm quite sure any corporation that sees most of its factories razed would find their bottom line hit pretty hard.
I'm sure at least some businesses don't recognize a "mother country." How would you constrain Sony, for example, which has factories all over Asia and North America? Or cruise lines, which do most of their business in the United States but are registered in the Cayman Islands for tax shelter purposes?
And FYI...I have never met a music executive who DOES NOT understand that DRM is nearly useless as far as protection of content goes. BUT... as I said above, it is the glue that keeps everything together.
I'm sorry, but admiring the emperor's new clothes is better than grasping reality in what way, exactly?
When schools start trying to assert authority outside of the school, it is just another intrusion by the state on parental authority and responsibility.
The problem here, IMO, is that too many parents are all too happy to give up their responsibilities and authority. Look at the parents who sued MySpace because they didn't know what their daughter was doing online.
It may not be "fair and balanced," but that doesn't take away from the truth of the statement. This is slightly OT, but too many media entities today worry about being "fair," at the expense of giving their readers the whole story.
This statement annoyed me the most. Either it does or does not exist, not both.
We're talking about quantum mechanics, here. It's entirely possible that something both does and does not exist until or unless the something is actually observed.
You forgot to close your and tags. The probably would have worked for IE, but I use FireFox, which renders SSS (Slashdot Style Sheets) more strictly than IE does.

Let's have the Justice Department audit Microsoft.
We tried that, but we got stuck with Bush before they could finish the audit, and it all went to pot.
Nothing spells flamebait like an entire article from Rob Enderle.
Or John C. Dvorak. May they never collaborate.
So throw your stones, call me an unenlighted bigot homophobe misanthrope...but these things are true.
Unenlightened? No. Bigoted? No. Homophobic? No. Misanthropic? No.

Should have been, "falls under DOD and Air Force rules ..." Shows what I get for not using "preview."

So he was not fit to be enlisted, yet strong enough to participate in this rigorous physical, combat training and selection process?
Since he obviously wasn't good enough to be enlisted, they settled for giving him a commission. Hence, Captain America.

No, they fired Lisa Nowak. I know this is Slashdot, and I'm not new here ... but Christ, is it that hard to do a little basic spell-checking?

Any unique identifier is personal info.

You did. And if you had prefaced it with "you can mod me down for this, but ..." your post would probably already be +5 Insightful. :)

A punk zine for a school that was often folded 8 1/2 x 11 pages stapled together ...
That's pretty impressive. I don't think I ever got my school folded down smaller than poster size.
What, no CowboyNeal option?

And one Nvidia executive predicts that gamers may not routinely see games optimized for DirectX 10 until mid-2008.'
That's about the earliest I'll consider an "upgrade."
I mean, how many times should Sony /for example/ face public humiliation and mockery before they decide that this wasn't a good idea to begin with?
Every single fscking day--not necessarily for any astroturfing on their part, but for the rootkits, etc.
Why can't the author explain those things? Simple journalism: who, what, where, why, how.
You seem to be new here. Welcome to Slashdot!
Hey, maybe they could actually deliver on WinFS this time. Ya think?
