Have you got him his slashdot account yet? Since the UIDs are already in the millions, by the time he's in his teens and ready to really start using slashdot, OK- ten, that number might be as high as 2 to 2.5 to maybe even 3 million. So save that "low" single million UID now so he'll have built in cred in a few years.
Just imagine that proud moment in only a few years when he's asking you about Natalie Portman and hot grits! Or when he wake's you in the middle of the night because he clicked on something expecting to see a goat. Good times! And why wait when you can get him started now?
This is actually a a rather clever way to keep a Skynet AI from ever being able to fully eradicate us as a species. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure they didn't choose to name the prototype, "Marvin," by coincidence.
Braindeaded the alst one. I didn't read A close enough and selected it without reading the rest. I wonder if the/. effect can change online quizzes, since the monthly average is now up to 77% ?
Well technically it hurts the eyes differently, but wow, maybe how the page displays should take priority over all the widgets that, though possibly cool, aren't actually as necessary as the display.
Remember kids, always have some photos of you and Chuthulu parktaking in ancient, evil rites so the perpetrator knows exactly what their "reward" will be.
One of those is in Oregon and it has been entertaining listening to the local talking heads calling it. Including the on the same broadcast, within minutes of each other, when the "LIVE!" reporters from the respective campaign headquarters each called in the favor of the party on which they were reporting. Good times!
On a side note, <pinkyinmouth>$28 million dollars</pinkyinmouth> was spent on the Senatorial campaign here. The bulk of which was coming from out of state to try and avoid giving the Dems the 60 seats. Regardless of who wins, I can safely speak on behalf of all Oregonians when I say, "Thank God those ads are over!"
I'll try again. What is it that is RIGHT? I think prosecuting people who prey on children, under the law, with all the protections of the Constitution and Due Process is the right thing to do. What you wrote, to me, implied that that is NOT the right thing to do. That is a societal over-reaction. That we are mindless herd driven by fear. So, all I'm asking for, is what you think is the RIGHT thing to do with people who sexual prey on children?
You don't think my idea is right, that's fine. But simply saying "You're wrong," isn't very helpful. If you have a better idea, that would be great. At the end of the day we may very disagree, but isn't that just as important to a healthy society? That people can disagree?
Well, to my mind, they are still fellow human beings and fellow citizens who deserve every moral and legal right as to the rest of us
Yep. That's why I said that in my post. "And once the standard is set, the State will follow it and act accordingly." and "But it still has to remain within the bounds of our laws, the core of which is the Constitution."
I would shed a tear for each such measure as yet another branch was torn from the tree of liberty. I would mourn the needless waste of human life.
Molesting children and then distributing pictures of the same is not something which I would list under "Liberty." I guess I see their decision to act that way as using their life to harm others instead of help others. I guess I'm missing how you find such behavior to be a valuable contribution to society.
People like you and others in this thread who would rather join a rabid mob than go against one and stand up for what is right.
I consider Justice against those who prey on children to be the right thing to do. I'm not sure what exactly it is you have against that. Are you saying that child pornography should be legal? Is that what you are trying to imply? If so than I would vigorously disagree.
You, and every poster in this thread panders to hysteria by sycophantically declaring your own inflated revulsion at these crimes. Every time you do so, you further strengthen the forces that are eating away at the foundations of law and freedom in the western world. No reasonable person need declare their revulsion for these crimes. Yet everyone insists on doing so, loudly and explicitly at the earliest opportunity.
So by stating that the laws need to be followed in prosecuting these crimes I'm weakening them? And to whom am I a sycophant? The "Mob?" Maybe its not that we're a mob, maybe its that we as a sociaety recognize teh crime for what it is and the impact that it has on the victims. Are you saying that reasonable people don't need to say they are revulsed because everyone already feels it, or that a "reasonable" person wouldn't be revulsed?
The west has submitted to the howls, intimidation and demagoguery of the Outrage Brigade. We will suffer whatever injustice or wrong they now choose to impose upon us, and it seems, will do so indefinitely. Please read the rest of the Douglass quote, and think next time before you obediently proclaim your moral standing.
Prosecuting people, in accordance with the laws, even when the crime is particularly heinous to us, demonstrates our strength as a society. Regardless of my revulsion of the crime, the defendant does have their rights and they need to be respected- as I said previously. I think the punishment for crimes against children, the emotional scars of which they will likely carry for a lifetime, should be graver. That doesn't equate to lessening constitutional protections or making an exception. It means that we are more aware of the affects on the victim of the act and are modifying the punishment accordingly.
Frankly, it sounds like you are doing exactly what you think everyone else is, and raging against a perceived threat which frankly, I'm against and clearly stated a such; but which you are tirading against with an over-the-top response.
It is more a difference of scale. They are not happy that this guy had the search thrown out so much as the general, larger idea that the Constitutional limits of unreasonable search and seizure are being followed. The problem isn't the imaging or generation of hash values so much as it is then using those values to determine if they match any known values. Next time they'll have a warrant. And once the standard is set, the State will follow it and act accordingly.
Those who deal in child pornography and prey on children are, to my mind, some of the worst exxamples of humanity out there. I wouldn't bat an eye if they increased the prison sentences for them to life or allowed capital punishment. But it still has to remain within the bounds of our laws, the core of which is the Constitution.
You could just network several servers together and simply install Rocks [rocksclusters.org] or UniCluster [univaud.com] or any number of other cluster packages.
One of the scammers was so brazen he came right to my doorstep! Said he needed a "contribution" so he could "go to Washington" and "fix this mess."
Yeah, right! I fell for that one four years ago!
but there are good reasons why expensive tends to equal good, and it is just plain sensible once you realize the expense that goes into making something better than the next thing over. One should not be blinded by this fact, because it is not always true, but you really do get what you pay for.
Wine is one of those areas where it is not necessarily true. I have read the results of blind taste tests, not just Joe Consumer but Wine Stewards as well, in which the highest priced wine is always picked. Even when they switch the bottles. That is the what the Gp was getting at, I think, that the difference between a $100 bottle of wine and a $10 bottle of wine is less than people realize. You're paying an extra $90 for the name, not the taste.
And invisibility will help you against a giant wave? I wasn't aware that Tsunamis basically hunted those vulnerable islands and coastlines down for large scale destruction.
Well they tried giant towels, figuring that the Tsunami would think that since the Island couldn't see it, then it must not be able to see the Island, but that didn't work because Tsunami's are far to clever for that. Which isn't too surprising since Tsunami's are proven pack hunters, always attacking in waves.
I think this is an excellent take on it. And maybe instead of just listing it as tech support you can elaborate on what you were doing and demonstrate your troubleshooting skills more so than just that you were following a list created by someone else,; that your experience has forced you to have a greater understanding of the underlying technology than your peers.

Keep in mind all information coming out of there has to escape the black hole's pull.
This is actually a a rather clever way to keep a Skynet AI from ever being able to fully eradicate us as a species. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure they didn't choose to name the prototype, "Marvin," by coincidence.
I've used Xubuntu as a live CD and it works great. Its going to be going on my next box.
Am I the only one that read DARPA's IBM-Led Neural Network Project Seeks Inmate Brain at first?
Actually DARPA's lonely, they are looking for an intimate brain. 21 December 2012: the day they plug it into eHarmony.

They could always apply for a government bailout package.
Without us, Linux will fail!
After all we've already had the "Whisper Jet." Of course anyone who's heard a 727 take-off knows that that is a relative term;-)
This sounds more like high school than execs and CEOs
It's supposed to be a major plot point in High School Musical V(ista)
The clicking Reply, it does nothing!

A final bonus question, isn't "Occupation" a far more accurate description than "War?"

But, then again, I guess its not actually science...
You could just network several servers together and simply install Rocks [rocksclusters.org] or UniCluster [univaud.com] or any number of other cluster packages.
Yet you don't mention Beowulf. Imagine that...
I notice you use the plural - you want more than one? What do you plan on doing with them, flock them?
My guess is its his way of saying "Flock ewe!" to slashdot...
I'm surprised no one else has tried to create a search engine for the internets...
One of the scammers was so brazen he came right to my doorstep! Said he needed a "contribution" so he could "go to Washington" and "fix this mess."
Yeah, right! I fell for that one four years ago!
Well, the "flying" submarine bit has been around for awhile, but adding the air part certainly does add a twist.
