I know its not easy to ignore what a federal judge says but I'm saying its time for the states to grow a pair. Tell judge's and the federal government 'no'. No, your tsa goons will not strip search our elderly and children.
Well that federal judge has stated his option, now its time to start treating it like what it is, his option. Time to stop treating these federal judges like they are gods. If this is a state issue, then its a state issue and the federal government has no business nor can it enforce a ruling there.
Well I would think that some reasonably and well planned out plan would be put in place. Now that we can stop laughing, i would assume the current incumbent would stay in office. I think he would be just like any other lame duck in office.
p.
I also don't think it would put incumbents into negative campaigning because they to fall under the none of the above vote, only worse. If the none of the above is selected his ass is out of office with no chance at reelection. If anything I think it would cut down on the negative campaigning.
Put none of the above on all the ballots. So that people can send a message that they don't want any of the candidates in office. If none of the above wins the election then those that are running are disqualified from the election. Time to chose new candidates.
Well here is what you do to that. First the state and local governments grow a pair and start passing laws that restrict what the federal government can do within the boarders of the state. This is all perfectly legal according to the 10th amendment.
Then you start enforcing these laws at the local level. When the TSA pedo goons molests a child during a search, you arrest them and charge them. When FBI/AFT/DEA agents kick down the doors to a perfectly legal marijuana shop, you file charges against those agents and arrest them.
You start sending a message to the individual ground agents that they are not above state laws.
So? I don't like Jack Danuals ether but I have friends that do. Go out and buy a bottle to keep for them in your collection at home. Not like it will go bad. Or give it for a gift.
US policy on nuclear attacks has been and still is, as far as I know, total nuclear retaliation. This includes attacks on US soil and her allies. So if North Korea as to attack South Korea or Iran was to attack Israel with nuclear weapon(s) basically there would be a smoking hole where ether states where the next day.
The reason MADD worked in the cold war is because the leadership of both countries was not bats ass insane. There was a lot of big talk but both countries knew when they where going to go to far.
Most likely if some islamic country did get a nuke and set it off through some terrorist group. There is a real good possibility that the attacked nation might just decide to forget that middle east is actually a bunch of individual nation states and decide to "glass" the whole area.
I would make it clear though that to all these islamic nut jobs that if you do get a nuclear weapon and one does go off in my country. The two primary holy sites of islam would cease to exist. Don't know what I would do about that nut ball in NK. Maybe take all the smurf out back and shoot them.
I will echo the question again, "why?" If I ever feel the need to run old Amiga software I simply boot up one of a number of emulators and run it. To this date though I really still see no need to do much of that ether. I can't think of any Amiga software that I can't find a application on windows, linux, or even my phone that does the job better.
The funny part is she's not really that geeky. She's got all the computers and stuff, but she's a mathematician, so she knows how to write programs to do fluid dynamics simulations but calls me to come install Adobe Reader. Or maybe she's just giving me some little menial task to make me feel a little bit useful.
Lets not beat around the bush here dude. She is throwing you a bone to make you feel useful. I've met women like you are describing. They are smart, scary smart. You got lucky man, hang on to this one.
Okay, I think I understand from reading the article and the comments here. You can't entangle the particles and use them to send information because the process of reading the information changes the state of the particles. Its the Heisenberg uncertainty principal at work. For some reason I didn't put these two together just now.
Can't we just couple up the Heisenberg compensator and call it good?
A lot of the problems I see with engaging the door nazi's is people stop for them. I find that if I just say "No" and keep walking, disengage them as quickly as possible, it throws them off.
I've even done this with a cop that wanted to search me at a street fair. He said he wanted to search me. I said "No" and kept walking. By the time he got over my out right refusal I was gone.
I think we all have stories of CompUSA that piss us off. Mine was when I bought a laptop. I spend $1900 on the damn thing with accessories. The pimply faced door nazi stood there and watched us bag it all up.
As I was leaving the store he stepped in front of me and asked to check my back. WTF, nazi boy watched us put everything in the bag. I said "No" and stepped around him and kept walking. Out right refusal to comply with nazi boy must have locked him up because he just stood there with that dumb look on his face.
He must have unlocked by the time i got my shit in the car. I saw him an pimply faced store manager standing out on the side walk as I pulled off. I think they took my tag number down. I imagine the police, if they called them, ether laughed at them or just patted them on the head. I never heard a peep out of them.
You people are fooling yourselves. Its not the weight or the aerodynamic that are the biggest waste in a gas car. Drive your car a mile or so, then pull over and open the hood. Feel that heat coming off the engine. There is your biggest waste of energy.
I've read that piston engines as they currently stand are only 25% efficient. Might be time to get rid of the piston engine all together and come up with something totally new.
In any case, I wish none of these people ill. Quiet the opposite. I hope they advance and solve their problems. I just won't condescend to believe I or my society has the power to fix their problems in a culturally appropriate way.
I'm pretty much the same way. I post worse case situations to get people to think. Most of the time, they don't think go spout out whatever is the first nonsense thing that pops in their head.
There is also a lot of hypocritical thinking in these "save the people from themselves" movements. You see if we rush in with guns blazing and take over and supplant the native culture that is racist and colonization and is evil. They don't stop to think that a great deal of the problems comes from these native cultures and us trying to force modern thinking on them. But colonization is no the answer to fixing these problems.
The do gooders think we have to just give then technology and food with no strings attached. Anything else is just racist. An example is AIDS in South Africa. Ramped superstition has them blaming AIDS on evil spirits and the way to cure it is to rape a virgin. Doesn't matter the age just as long as she is a virgin. Results are millions of children from infants up are getting raped and infected with AIDS.
So we rush in with expensive AIDS medication and tell these people that AIDS is not caused by evil spirits. All of a sudden we are trying to influence and suppress the culture, there for we are racist. We need to give them this expensive medication for nothing and no input from us because we don't want to be racist about it.
But on the other hand if you suggest that we should leave them be and let them sort it out themselves. Well then they get up in arms because and say they are just primitive savages that don' t know any better. Its our duty to save the and feed them. All of a sudden its racist if we decide to let them sort their problems out and treat them like human beings.
Call that cynical... that's my understanding of the situation.
You sir, maybe cynical but you are also very correct. i will use Africa as an example simply because it is the one I've been harping on for years. "Africa's problems, are African problems. Let the Africans solve them."
Of course when I say this people call it racist and start thumping on the book that says Africa wouldn't be in the situation if it wasn't for colonization. Yes that maybe true but doesn't change anything. Colonization ended last century, and we have to think of the now. Nothing the west can do to change what happened and trying to fix it only makes it worse. We have to let them sort it out themselves.
We have to let them sort it out. That means millions will die in civil wars, illness and famine. Well that is better than the alternative. And here is the alternative. We keep meddling, which means we keep sending them food. They keep eating beyond their ability to sustain themselves and so they breed. The more they breed the more we have to keep meddling, which means more food and more breeding.
There will come a time when we can no longer feed them and the whole system will collapse. But now instead of a few million dying, hundreds of millions will die. Hundreds of millions that never should have been born.
Yes, its cold and harsh, but the alternative is far worse.
How is a tablet going to fix that? I often read "with a tablet they can learn about better farming methods, etc.". If that's the case, why can't they learn such things now?
Because the people that come up with these hair brained ideas of saving the developing world with advanced technology are stupid. They think they can run in and throw technology at a problem and it will go away. They don't stop to think that the traditional methods will work better in this case.
For the price of one of these tablets alone, not counting the cost of the infrastructure to support it, you could probably buy 100 or more text books. A nice book. it will last for years without batteries and can be passed to other people. Sure you can't update a book as good as a tablet or a PC but the type of information in the books we are talking about doesn't change radically over the years.
Wait. Taco boy is gone? When the hell did this happen? An why the fuck am I still here? Well I know why I'm still here. I've been here pretty much since day one. Yes, I have another account with a 4 digit IQ.
Face it, this place is useless now as a technical news site. Once long ago I could post a real question and get a real answer back. I miss the Gay Niggers from Outerspace and the penis bird. Ogg the barbarian. Natalie Portman and hot grits. Ye
We now have video on slashdot, wtf? I don't want the news read to me, I want to read it and comment on it myself. Interfacing to facebook and tweeter? Most of us make an effort to avoid shit like face book and tweeter. A flag to report abusive comments? Hell, most of my comments are abusive. If I stuck around me and the abuse editor would be on a first name bases.
No, the site is still here and its is still green but slashdots soul is gone. Most of us old timers just keep coming back out of habit.
I don't know if I should laugh at your enthusiasm or cry because of your ignorance. Corrupt leaders that you talk about are not going to let locals read that kind of information on the internet. Hell, I doubt they will even let them have elections.
Access to crop reports in the US? Like that is going to help. To be able to make use of that data they would have to be able to farm competitively with other nations. Most of them are not even on the standards for farming in the 19th century, let alone the 21st. Most of them are still planting crops with sharp sticks.
Do gooders like this want to drag the africans out of the dark ages into the modern times by giving them technology. What they keep forgetting is this has been done in the past and it has always failed. You can't drag a stone age culture into the modern era with out it going through the steps in between.
Africas problems are africans problems. Let them sort it out.
Oh my god, people just stop. We need to let these people bring themselves into the 19th century before we drag them into the 21st. Africa doesn't need another save the africans project with useless technology. Yes, its useless to them unless they are nigerian scammers or something. What they need is to be left alone to work out their problems. Basic education and teaching them that shooting each other is not the best answers to their problems.
Maybe a bit late, but OpenSUSE as of 11.4 still had "PermitRootLogin yes" by default. Haven't checked for later versions...
I just checked with OpenSuse 12.1. It has "PermitRootLogin yes" but its commented out. I'm assuming that is the same as "PermitRootLogin no" but not going to take any chances. I uncommented it and changed the yes to no anyway.
--Actually, if you forget nohup, you can still use " disown "... FYI;-)
Hello new command. Thank you for showing me this one. Don't just love those moments when you learn something new like this and just say "sweet?" This is one of those moments.

Go fuck yourself moron. Medical marijuana is perfectly legal in some states. I never said it as legal on the federal level.
Put none of the above on all the ballots. So that people can send a message that they don't want any of the candidates in office. If none of the above wins the election then those that are running are disqualified from the election. Time to chose new candidates.

Damn straight. I personally don't give two shits what saudi finds offensive.
So? I don't like Jack Danuals ether but I have friends that do. Go out and buy a bottle to keep for them in your collection at home. Not like it will go bad. Or give it for a gift.

This is the angle I'm thinking. Information has no mass so there for it should not be affect by relativity. Please explain how I'm wrong.
No, really explain how I'm wrong. I would rather know I'm wrong about something to keep thinking it was right.
