I think I have to disagree; they do make use of, in at least some cases, air drag to maintain a flight profile. An instinctual understanding perhaps was had of the "center of pressure" (air pressure created during flight)and adjusting it either back behind the center of gravity or in front of it would effect the length of flight, and the orientation of the spear at the end of said flight; a expert spearmaker could perhaps be said to be a Aerodynamics Expert.
Maybe this is a joke, but... Wouldn't your posting this information on slashdot: "buy your CD's from Brazil in order to get media that isn't crippled"... be considered, in all actuality, as a violation of the DMCA? you are informing people of a way to violate copyright protection schemes. Just a thought.
The REAL reason I still use IE, for most browsing is because in Nutscrape or Mozilla, when you click on the URL in the address bar, you have to click twice; you have to click once to move the cursor there, then you have to click drag to hilite the portion you want to type over; while in IE, you just have to click-drag. Bugs the unholy shit out of me. I still use Mozilla for things like web mail, my "daily repeat surfing", but if I suspect I'm going to get off the beaten path, I feel compelled to use IE, even though I KNOW it's wide open to a gazillion exploits because I can't update past the Win2kSP2 level because of the totalitarian Licensing practices of Microsoft instituted at SP3. Phew.
AT least we can be absolutely, 100% certain it won't be french. On second thought... With the 4th Reich having full control over Europe these days, maybe the Germans will allow the French to cater.
Oh my god. My Evil Genius(tm) brother, who dropped out of site from the world in 1988, has finally released his P1(b) worm. We Are DOOMED! Doomed, I tell you! But, it should patch quite a few security holes, also.
A paper-based, legal, slashdotting of the maf-IIA? That is, indeed, something to consider. Someone with more time on their hands than me want to run with this?
Don't be amazed. It's just the way they work; unless its internally generated, whether a charter, the FBI, or any other investigatory agency, they just don't want to see it; they have already got a job, things to do, and they don't want you adding to the load. If you REALLY PUSH, they will usually put you in contact with someone who at least has a clue what you are talking about, but the first thing THEY will do, if you are a private individual, is see if you are the criminal; you are guilty until proven innocent, if you actually get them to take you seriously. They also will have no interest whatsoever in any evidence you have gathered; they know that it won't be investigated for most likely months, so there is really no point to it. If you encounter any behavior other than this, you should really keep it to yourself; otherwise the competent individual you encountered will most likely get fired. I know of what I speak; I ran into some blatantly immoral(important) non-legal(not so important) activity in the past and determined to get it taken care of no matter what the cost in time or effort. and the costs were very high.
The very thought of trusting Metallica seems sort of, um, crazy? in the first
place. Have you taken a look at those guys lately?
As to the Model Rocketry problem, it really all boils down to the BATFE
wetting their collective pants over the thought of someone building a homebrew SAM
missile, which is fairly
easy anyway.
The big thing as I see it is the same thing was done to Black powder, which
means that making your own rocket engines, or even reloading your own
ammunition, just got REAL hard AFAICT.
Weellllll..... The space program was a defense program; we would never have, probably, even got so far as the jet aircraft stage by now if it wasn't for defense spending. I'm not counting out goddard, of course, but most of the MAJOR advances in Rocketry, Aircraft & Avionics are due to WAR, or the threat of war; Jet aircraft & Rocketry were kick started by WWII, the Space Race was just a facet of the Cold War.. Read a book called "the Right Stuff"; it not only shows this clearly, but also illustrates how screwed we are due to the decision to go with gemini / apollo instead of continuing on the path that the X-15 project was traveling. But on the Lighter side, This news is a Fucking Fantastic thing; I want my kids to have the option of getting OFF this suicidal planet.
What hunting tools are illegal? well, lets see...
Black powder hunting; this year the BATFE decided that anyone who was going to transport explosives (including
model rocket engines) would require extremely expensive permits and lengthy licensing procedures; most dealers in Black Powder hunting supplies have stated this will force them out of the business.
Several of the finer medium game hunting rifles, such as the Ruger mini-14, have been
illegalized due to the Assault weapon ban because they LOOK
scary, and for no other reason aside from a apparent government agenda to
end private firearm ownership.
Armor/Kevlar piercing bullets are not for hunting. good job. Weapons are not
just for hunting either; they are also for defense. Until such time as home
intruders (or deer, I suppose) standardly wear Kevlar armor, they should remain
out of public hands.
Now, them darn assult rifles you are so worried about... you DO
know they are just semi-automatic weapons just like the ones which are now fully
legal, aside from in appearance, right? Like I said, they just look scary, not necessarily
by design.
Pistols ARE usable as hunting weapons; when I was younger and used to hunt
quite a bit I used a pistol for rabbits, and a larger caliber pistol for Boar; I
still carry one for snakes or grace shots. However, the primary reason to own a
pistol is usually for self- or family- defense.
Yeah, or like make the tools for hunting illegal! Or Yeah, like making the tools for smoking weed illegal! or Yeah, like making the tools for decoding DVD's illegal!
No kidding. I'm still trying to figure out what the point of XP is. WindowsME...that was easy to figure out; they took the relatively stable Win98SE platform and added crap and bugs to it until it was ALMOST usable, in order to prep people for the "Stability" of XP. But XP is just the Excellent, stable Win2K platform with enough bugs, toys, pretties, etc to ALMOST not make it work; what is it supposed to be prepping us for? Seriously, are they trying to "sort out" the market? those people with anything resembling a clue stayed win Win98SE, or went to Win2k or a 'nix operating system; those that are left are just considered the Soulless damned under the sway of Bill, a Known group of Sheerable Sheepsumers? just to simplify things?
Let me guess, freshman, right? or perhaps still in highschool? don't get it? watch "good will hunting"; then, watch "Jay and Silent Bob strike back". pay particular attention to the "good will hunting part 2" bit.
Being born and raised in Illinois, but with both parents and a thousand relatives in Tennessee and Kentucky, I think I can possibly help you out on the disgusting things that Americans eat.
People who speak Quenya? Damn fruitcakes. Me and a few friends can read and write it, but speaking it, that's just nuts! Besides, there isn't a good guide, or at least there wasn't 15 years ago. grumble.
My example is only slightly far-fetched. But your reply, while I completely disagree with it, was very well written; you have obviously reached your conclusions only after studying the situation fairly extensively. My thoughts that you have reached the WRONG conclusions do not prevent me from admiring the way the response was written, in other words.
I do hate it when people I disagree with are better able to present their point of view, though.
My Brother, the Evil Genius
(tm) designed and tested a system that that used a
fast scanning ladar/reflected light type signal to spot police cars by there silhouette.
It would actually distinguish the lights on top of the vehicles, then display
(using nixies) where in relation to the front of the vehicle the spotted car
was.
Didn't work on unmarked cars, though. not bad for 1981.
It would be a simple thing to rig up a directional radar
detector, then use syncros to line up the HERF on the right bearing.....
Freenet. Download it while its
still a misdemeanor.
Pray tell me, what pit have you been hiding in since 2001? DECSS
ring a bell? how about this
article? or this censorware
article? or even just a simple ping? the DMCA, Section 1201 (a)(1)
prohibits unauthorized access to a work by circumventing an effective
technological protection measure used by a copyright owner to control access to
a copyrighted work.
If you copyrite a image and place it on your website, and offer to sell this
image, then state that anyone who pays for the image can go to the IP address of
the website instead of it's URL and be able to download the image, and then
someone runs a tracert or DNS query against your URL to discover the IP, that
person is in violation of the DMCA.
It's truly pathetic, Only Freenet
can save us at this point. or a revolution, I suppose.
No.... the comment you replied to states that you are only legally able to really experiment with computers on your private LAN; while this might be a slight oversimplification, it's close enough to being true to not make a difference.
Thanks! I was trying to think of who this reminded me of; Steve Gibson in a Nutty shell (bash flavored).
I do not doubt that there are people out there who have never broken any laws and are decent, if not excellent, security types. However, since it's been illegal to do ANYTHING with a computer since the DMCA and Patriot Act came out, that type of expert is obviously a breed rapidly approaching death. If a person is acquiring security skills in this day and age, that person is in the law's eyes a black hat.
I was more referring to windows, actually...Linux is still AFAICT a hobby / niche OS; OS/2 as open source would quickly provide a better windows environment for casual users than the "OS" MacroHard makes. I wouldn't worry too much about Bill making IBM quit, either... The Armonk boys made more money in the 60's and 70's than Microsoft will probably ever make. I think.
as I've been saying for years....or at least since '96.... If IBM released OS/2 as open source, both Windows AND linux would rapidly become hobby software.
Naaaa..... Go 10base5. Vampire taps. 500 meter limit, and they WILL have to pay you to hook them up, thereby getting additional $$$.
But seriously folks... just use normal 10baseT hubs, strung together by 10base2; no reason to shell out bunches of $$$ for bandwidth you won't need if you are only going to supply off a T1. It's not a professional way to do it, but it would certainly be a CHEAP way to do it.
skip the DSL though. pointless. I'd probably do wireless.
The Korean War era P51-H had a top speed of about 487MPH; main armnament consisted of 6.50 caliber MG. While they did have a pretty bad radar signature, it was primarily suspected that the reason they didn't fare better against MIG's in the Korean conflict was because the MIG's of the time were essentially just really fast WW2 era planes, armed primarily with guns; fair dogfighters.
