Powerlines were not designed to carry RF. It'll bleed all over the spectrum and disrupt radio hams, cell phones, cordless phones, tv remotes and yes all those lovely WiFi and Bluetooth devices.
And surprise surprise the FCC, the regulator, seems to have conveniently ignored these "inconveniences".
See the ARRL web site for more objections and to give your support to their objects.
Interestingly your quote does not tie a warrant to a search being reasonable. And who exactly decides what is reasonable? The US Constituion was deliberately left vague in such areas to allow some room for manoevuer.
So "I say to you" no it doesn't look like it was to me. But if they think it was they have recourse to the proper guardians of the Constitution: ie the courts.
But I still oppose abortion (all cases) . I don't oppose cloning - but I do oppose treating cloned humans as convenient cell farms.
Why? Because I think humans and human life has value- in and of itself. That value isn't increased or decreased by the existence (or not) of a God- or even several Gods.
If you don't believe that then I can understand you supporting abortion and cloning embryos for their cells (but you're wrong). If that is your stance then I would assume that if you are consistent that you must oppose Murder being a crime?
The article makes it quite clear, from the very first sentence, that they DID clone embryos.
"South Korean-led research team has cloned human embryos to produce embryonic stem cells"
"To make the stem cells, the team placed a human skin cells into hollowed-out eggs and treated them with chemicals to start cell division, creating an embryo. After five to six days of cell division, the embryonic stem cells were collected, destroying the embryos." emphasis added.
Which part of "cloned human embryos" and "creating an embryo" confused you?
"A South Korean-led research team has cloned human embryos"
"To make the stem cells, the team placed a human skin cells into hollowed-out eggs and treated them with chemicals to start cell division, creating an embryo. After five to six days of cell division, the embryonic stem cells were collected, destroying the embryos."
Pretty clear - they DID clone embryos, then killed them.
Tell me - *exactly* when does a "human embryo" become a "human"?
Late-term abortions are regularly performed on "human embryos", which are exactly the same age as "premature babies" which, with care, grow into "infants" then "children" then "adults".
I'd *really* be interested to hear how you distinguish between them.
Step 1, qualify all meetings before attending - do I *really* need to be there? Do I *really* need to be there for the whole meeting?
Step 2, if a meeting is drifting into uselessness - say something - eg "Are we finished dealing with (important things X,Y and Z)" people either agree we are and the meeting ends, or not and the meeting gets back on track.
Step 3, the ultimate sanction. If your presence at a meeting is doing neither you nor anyone else any good - don't be afraid to leave. You know, say you have some stuff to do, get up, and walk out.
And finally, never, ever bitch about useless meetings - people just remember you as a whiner - doesn't matter if you're right or not.
Dear Sir
Thanks for your e-mail.
I have noted the points you made - as well as the vigorous debate on
Slashdot.org about this article.
Well, Stephen Evan's weekly "stateside" column is not a news story, but
an analytical look at major events and business trends in the United
States.
It is, of course, debatable whether MyDoom/Novarg/Shimgapi was written
just to bring down the SCO website, or whether the installation of
spamming tools on numerous computers was an additional - or even the
main - motive.
That was not the point of Stephen's article.
In his piece he wanted to draw the attention of BBC News Online's
audience - many of whom are unlikely to know the ins and outs of the
Open Source debate - to the rapid spread of Linux as a commercial
application, SCO's attempts to cash in on this fact, and the deep anger
that SCO has caused within the Linux community through its legal
actions.
Stephen is not the first to draw the link between MyDoom and SCO's
actions over Linux - plenty of others have done that before, including
virus experts.

Do what I did when they reported in a previous article that SCO were the owners of Unix. Send them an email reporting a factual error in the article. I did, pointing out that SCO *claim* ownership but that was disputed by the people they say they bought it from (Novell).
Here's the link you'll need: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3281777.stm just add your correction and the article's URL.
Spelling in that period was very fluid. Have a look at how many different ways Shakespeare spelt his own name!
A fixation on "correct" spelling is a modern disease - the most important part about written words (used to be) that they sounded like they were spoken (ie unlike modern English, were basically phonetic).
Shed some light? Sure. it's pure bullshit. The transistor hadn't even been invented yet, let alone the intergrated circuit (aka chip). He's a no-brain moron spewing bullshit.
Wrong? Well that's subjective, although I agree with you.
Stupid? Hardly. He's managed to steal the Presidency, enrich himself and his wealthy friends, illegally invade two countries (whilst fooling most of the US population), get away with changing a $200Billion budget excess into a $500billion defecit and he's managed to do away with a lot of the civil rights US citizens used to have. And there hasn't been an armed revolt and he's still a serious contender to be re-elected.
So no I don't think he's stupid, I think he is fucking smart. The stupid people are the ones who are putting up with it and paying the price. (US national debt no stands at around $24,000 for each and every man, woman and child in the country - that's how much El Presidente has borrowed in your name). Not sure how you put a price on the civil rights you guys have lost recently but it must be greater.
You need to check a dictionary. The word you are looking for is "inconsistent".
Anyway I (and the courts) think the two cases are different. Windows is (and was) a general term within GUI applications long before Bill registered Windows(tm). In contrast, Playboy (and Playmate) were not associated with Porn' before Hugh Hefner did his job.
The first court patently got it wrong, the second one got it right. The system's working.
LOL Ignorance at it's best. Eire (The Republic of Ireland) is not a part of Great Britan or the UK. It has never been a part of Great Britain and stop being a part of the UK in the 20s.
Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdon but not Great Britain. The full name is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
*IF* you're actually a Brazillian perhaps you should know your own country better before spewing forth.
Brazil has laws, passed by the national government, that Brazil treats foreign visitors the same way their nationals get treated by them. So the US starts fingerprinting Brazilians then the Brazilians start finger printing US visitors.
All the local court did was confirm that this law applied. They didn't "make it up" or anything silly like that.
The reason is because it has nothing to do with fighting terrorism and it's all to do with fighting illegal immigration.
What was the adminstrations first boast about the new regime ? That they had identified a lot of illegal immigrants.
I guess they figured they couldn't justify spending (according to this week's Economist) ONE BILLION DOLLARS a week on the extra security for anything other than "fighting terrorism".

Except of course that they would have built up the wrong muscle-memories.
Brain-to-muscle: Baddy in sight let's kill him.
Muscle: Ah to do that I twitch the mouse and hit the mouse button.
Brain: Argh what are you doing! You're holding an M16 not a fucking mouse you dumb muscle!

Did the mod' even read the stuff pointed to- it's basically a thread of:
In otherwords just like a /. thread but without the occassional useful post!

Easy.

The Hutton report was complete whitewash. (Note: Hutton is a *Labour* peer, appointed by guess who? Yep, Tony Blair.
The only thing the BBC did wrong was not take their lawyer's advice that his report was legally flawed and wide-open to judicial review.

Yes that would true, except for the fact that Europe's GDP *far* exceeds the US's.
Gah! typical. Type in anger - mis-spell acronyms all over the place!
How is something so blatantly WRONG modded up as interesting? Since when was utter ignorance at all interesting?
Need I go on with how Apple differs from Microsoft and SCO?
Err no, wrong again.
