While that I agree a different connector might have been more prototypical, I think the whole existance of this debate about A0 what type connector it actually is and B) what type would have been more typical proves that the design acheived the intended goal.
Also, remember more 'normal' (non geek) types will instantly recognize a phone connector.
You Honour, the 'Oregano' referred to in this case is a rare variety, grown by Buddhist monks in Thailand and said to have healing properties. As you are aware, your Honour, my client is American, and therefore subject to the fad of the week.
(No offense to anyone, I (though I am loath to admit it) am American also)
You are welcome to apply yout time and effort to praying for me, since I too do not follow Yeshua. Do not, however, expect any result. Many have prayed for me and yet still my soul is at peace without the need for an icon to follow.
If Yeshua brings you peace, then follow your path. And respect my choice to follow mine.
I reccomend that all religious statements aside, everyone should try meditation as a means to clear the mind and focus. There is no need for any religious style, unless desired, as there are as many ways to meditate as there are people. Meditation is the art of relaxing and readying the body and clearing the mind for an upcoming challenge. How to approach that is entirely up to you.
Weightlifters meditate in their workout, their minds clear and focused by the actions of their bodies in lifting. Swimmers meditate in the feeling of water flowing around their bodies, the motions of the swim. Gardeners meditate in their gardens, the feel of the soil, the look of the plants, the act of tending. Shao Lin meditate in action and inaction, combining practiced motion with periods of quiet.
Take whatever style of meditation you prefer, but everyone should have at least one way of clearing mind and readying body.
Your Honour, the substance in question as Exhibit 'A' was, admittedly, referred to by my client as 'weed.' I would like to refer the just to the 'Phylogical Guide to Gardening' published by Bogus Press, 1999. On page 128 there is a list of plants classified as weeds when gardening. Many of these, you will note, are also commonly used spices. If you will look at the 47th line, you will note that the spice being traded in this charge, 'Oregano', is in fact classified as a 'weed.'
I submit to you that my client was using the term 'weed' in it's proper subjective application, and further that the charge that my client knowingly engaged in trafficing of a controlled substance is entirely unsubstantiated.
Well, given how few English words begin with Q, Z, and X, and that the Odd characters are word starting letters, and the frequencies of letters in the english language is well known with relation to starting positions... Given also that every Even character is a word termination character, and the letter frequency is well known with respect to terminal positions as well... Given further than most people start a phrase when typing with a capital letter...
I would say some minor combinatorics based on these facts would yield a very strong cracking algorithm very quickly.
Those of us who chose (note the choice is willing and uncoerced) were made fully aware that we were being DNA catalogued, that the DNA could be used not only to identify our remains, but also for prosecution under the UCMJ, and for identifying potential genetic diseases. We were also made fully aware that once we undertook the oath of service, our collective buttocks belonged to Uncle Sam.
I do not see any invasion of privacy here. I see a choice made by someone that perhaps failed to think through the consequences of his actions. Based on the tight security rules involved in acquiring that DNA information, they had to have sufficient evidence and reasonable suspicion, as well as several levels of security clearance. It's not like Joe Doughnut can just walk up and say 'I have a case here, lemme get some DNA'
I could see this as a problem under other circumstances, but not when someone made a choice.
Well, on my gateway I su only to upgrade and change settings, maybe once every few months. Using Connectix distro there. On the internal server, running Mandrake, I su to run updates as needed and to power down/reboot. Almost never there.
On my personal workstation, I su to install, update, and change settings. As this is a development box, fairly frequently as I test new things. But I never find I have to su to run programs, mess with my personal settings, load the.DOC file because the kernel copied the wrong permissions on the file to my Documents path, install userspace programs, view a web site, or pretty much any other non development task. My roommate doesn't even know how to su, she has no problems running anything on my box or hers (both Mandrake). I also never have to hear 'your computer crashed again, I coudn't run The Sims because of it!'
I do have windows installed, and find I cannot run anything as non Administrator, without making massive permission changes after any install, leaving all files readable by Everyone, and being on that particular machine. I can even access my profile from our NFS/Samba share without any real isues. I just su'ed to admin (not root) on the server, created a homes share, set that as my home on the workstations, and used a install floppy with those settings to build the others. Done.
For those using Windows, a combination of Global Policy Objects, Roaming Profiles, logon scripts with NET USE, Default User settings, and All Users start menu and desktop icons works well enough, though on a larger network it becomes a nightmare to administer.
In the recent issue of Corbos v.s. Amazon the two retailers have reached an agreement and both sides have dropped their suits. In the new agreement, Amazon will continue to provide materials and information from third parties, while Corbis will notify Amazon promptly if further infringements are found. Amazon and Corbis are now joining forces and suing the parties responsible for posting the images in question. An executive from Amazon was quoted as saying 'We agree with Corbis that this was a clear violation of the DMCA. These pirates must be held accountable for their theft.'
We will have further news as the situation warrants.

Given the small indicated size and volume, it is entirely possible that they originally designed this on a government contract. They would, therefore, have used the US Aeronautic Metric/English conversion standard (WTF 91065) and thus the measurements are accurate enough for government work.
1) Not enough Royalties to Profit!! since obviousl;y most people do not use it. 2) I think it's already patented... did you hire a bunch of lawyers to research that?
Well, based on the bill itself, I noticed the following legalspeak slipped in that would be detrimental:
(7) In light of these considerations, it is important that Federal law enforcement agencies actively pursue criminals who steal the copyrighted works of others, and prevent such activity through enforcement and awareness. It is also important that the public be educated about the security and privacy risks associated with being connected to an unauthorized peer-to-peer network. (a) DESIGNATION OF AGENTS IN CHIPS UNITS- The Attorney General shall ensure that any unit in the Department of Justice responsible for investigating computer hacking or responsible for investigating intellectual property crimes is assigned at least one agent to support such unit for the purpose of investigating crimes relating to the theft of intellectual property. (1) educate the general public concerning the value of copyrighted works and the effects of the theft of such works on those who create them;
Copyright infringement is not, and has not yet been placed, in the same legal category as theft. Passage of this bill would give the RIAA, MPAA, and Congress the precedent to redefine the crime from infringement to theft, a much more serious crime with harsher punishments. As I am sure you are aware from your interaction with Mr. Wexler, precise legal phrasing is a potent and manipulable tool of politics.
While I agree that the gist of the bill appears harmless, the use and insertion of the word theft into the bill could very well be a 'backdoor bill' attempt. Educating the public is a good and noble goal, and well worth while. But I am wary after so many times things have been slipped into bills to allow another bill in that redefines the laws in such a way.
Also, sentences should not end with a preposition, thus it should be to whom are you going to speak it? After all, we all know where we learned to speak from!;)
A simple solution is to just buy the highest speed CPU and Case fans you can, place a microphone by the case while running, and pipe through the speakers. Seems to be effective not only for eliminating rodents, but also larger pests, including children, spouses, cats, neighbors, and of course lawyers and politicians. The 'D' batteries are great for flashlights, so you can find the fuse box when you overcrank the amp and blow the lights.
Also referred to as an Alicorn, a winged equine with a single spiraling ivory horn centered on the upper precranial region. Of course, the mythical but less well known Bicorn also falls under this category. All of these were a favorite prey of Gryphons. (see Gryphon, Bicorn, Unicorn)

Can't be too sure of that MAYBE state either. It posesses the following sub states:
MAYBE.You should have noticed already MAYBE.NO but I don't want to be the one to say it MAYBE.You had better know I mean YES MAYBE.Let's just be friends MAYBE.Are you being sensitive to my needs MAYBE.DON'T EVEN THINK OF PLAYING QUAKE RIGHT NOW OR YOU WILL BE SINGLE
And there are a lot more potential substates yet to be catalogued in the interface.
Woudn't that be a violation of the DMCA since we Moderators encode secret conspiratoritail messages in our Moderations?... Forget I just said that.
However, hasn't this system and similar been used to model reactions in basic AI in video games for years? Fun meter, anyone? Or even the rating scale used by persons undergoing psychiatric (sp?) treatment to score their mood each morning?
It strikes me that any system that attempts to simplify so many variables is more of a kludge approach than anything that should be considered a scientific methodology.
