"Generally, a person must complete all the requirements of all felony sentences before the right to vote may be restored. This also applies to the right to serve on a jury, sign an initiative, or run for office."
"Each state has its own laws regarding losing the right to vote if convicted of a felony. For example, some states restore the right to vote as soon as the prison term is completed. In Maine and Vermont, a convicted felon does not lose the right to vote. In every other state, persons convicted of a felony lose the right to vote for a period of time."
So at least in Washington State, he couldn't run for office until AFTER completing his sentence.
Seriously, the local TV news crews around here need to RTFA and get a clue and mandate all cell phones turned off during their broadcast (or get better shielded equipment). Its funny hearing the noise on TV the first time (heh, some dumbass is texting during the 1hr they actually work), but just get annoying when it continues throughout the newscast. You would think they would be able to recognize it and fix it quick, but it keeps showing up, specially during remote "live" broadcasts.
I use a wireless keyboard (Logitech s510). Sure, I may be broadcasting every key I type, but the keyboard encrypts the signal (via software on the comp, so not when I use it with my mac). To sync it with the software on the computer that it talks through, you do a few special key chords and then enter the encryption key as it tells you (shared secret). Not sure how strong this really is, but probably makes it a little more difficult than sniffing the raw USB/PS2 traffic (unless they can infer directly from the keypad controller chip before it goes to the encryptor).
Last night/this morning, they found the wreckage. Its been all over the news here (SF bay area). Still no body though, maybe the aliens beamed him out of his plane...
would work ok, until they stumbled upon themself, but then the freak-out from seeing their own image time delayed a few seconds would be worth it. It would be like a scene from one of those bad horror movies.... or space balls.

TFA even states congress is BOOSTING funding, and lists projects that have been in the works for YEARS. This project has been around for a few years, and had a "live" test a couple months ago. It listed several other projects that have been in active research and dev for years, and explicitly states funding for such projects got a boost (though some might get cut). US Congress funding lasers: not news, boost to that fundng: maybe news. At least it gives a peek at some of the laser projects in the works, though misses some by a mile.
IT has its handful of certs as well. Ive worked with, worked for, been a customer of, and interviewed a fair share of people that will more than gladly spout off the list of certs they have, but have no real idea of how to do anything. The number of A+ "certified" people that came to the repair shop I worked at to get a power supply swapped was amazing. Ive interviewed CCNAs that barely had a grasp of what TCP was. Remember, its you who are asking to let the company take you in to work for them. They want to know who they are getting, better than just a resume with "experience" and "certifications" listed. If you are too arrogant to answer some simple test-like questions, then why bother trying to get a job at all, they are obviously beneath you. Now, some employers might take it to the dumb extreme ("what is 2^13", actual question asked by a very well known search company to me), but most are tests to see how you think, how you analyze problems and break them down to solve them, or simply to see what your actual experience is in a certain area. If you list "netap" experience, be ready to answer some questions like "how do you expand capacity of a volume" followed by "suppose that volume starts complaining about unable to create file, but there is plenty of space free for the file?". If you claim you can do it, prove it. We do not want to hire someone, and THEN find out they cant do what they claim. That wastes both our time/money as well as the employee's, and can seriously delay projects.
Its called User Preferences. Use them, thats what they are for. Set "Funny" to -6, and bump up the "insightful" or "Interesting" ones to your liking. If you want funny, do the opposite.
"they only sued to save Monticello from itself"... please someone tell me that this is a f@ckin joke.
The town should look up Dalton Utilities, Dalton Ga. for some good legal fodder. Back in the late 90's when I was still there working as an engineer in a carpet mill over the summer, they were deploying fiber while pulling new power lines to the mills, mainly for their power monitoring systems. Thus they had a fiber backbone across most of the city before the dot com boom/bust. Using this as a starting point when the internet took off and people started demanding faster broadband, they started deploying FTTH in 2002.
A driver should not cause the OS to crash. Your printer should be able to load its driver in a manner such that if it catches fire the kernel stays alive and can tell you so.
They had to scramble to get drivers out the door because microsoft hardly gave them any time to work with the last revisions of Vista.
No, its obviously their fault! I mean, when the OS is written to look so sleek, they should realize that it wasnt written to prevent a printer driver from crashing the whole thing.

No boom tomorrow either:
"First beam circulated" != "First collisions"
I duno, when the beam needs a Dump Block consisting of an 8M long, 10ton graphite rod encased in 1000 tons of concrete, and even then has to be directed around in a pattern to keep from burning through it because it is "capable of melting a 500-kilogram block of copper," Id say boom possible, but not likely. I just wouldnt want to be in the tunnels with something like that racing around held in place by magnets, if one nearby turns off, BOOM you either turn into the incredible hulk, get zapped off to another world or simply vaporized like that 500kg block of copper.
IF the management balks at the cost of spending $200 for some cheap 19" LCDs to replace the old 17" CRTs that "still work just fine", point out the electrical cost, then point out that the wattage difference is also extra heat for the chillers to pull out, which adds even more cost: the LCDs pay for themselves in electrical and hvac savings, not to mention employee happiness and keeping the office looking somewhat with the times (does wonders to recruitment when potential hires see LCD monitors instead of ancient CRTs).
If they still refuse, just walk around and turn OFF all the CRTs left burning all night with screen savers. I used to do this in the NOC, turned off 10-20 CRTs as I left for the night that were doing nothing but heating and lighting the room...
... that basically said: abuse the DMCA with takedowns on fair-use material and lose your copyright protections. EFF vs Uri Geller. Too bad its just a settlement rather than some precedent setting case, or there would be a lot more thought put into whether or not a piece is fair use or not prior to spamming the takedown notices.
Do the lawyers from the CoS get the info from those counter-notices, and do said notices contain personal info on the YouTube users?
If so, this may be an elaborate ruse to get 4,000 names of the "enemies" of the so called church....
If "Anonymous" posted the videos, I see no reason why "Anonymous" cant submit the counternotices. Citing privacy issues, the court should honor such notice provided the source of the notice matches equally with the source of the removed videos.
As to consequences for abusing the DMCA, Uri Geller found out the hard way, via settling with the EFF. Basically, fines and loss of copyright privileges on the work claimed being infringed. Im sure the CoS would love their works to lose their copyright protections, since thats been the basis for a majority of their threats and litigation (not to mention sole reason their "religion" hasnt been more fully exposed as the fraud/cult/pyramid scheme it is).
Then at 0.15cents, it should be 10x what you said, or 10G... unless he was doing some heavy torrenting, I doubt that adds up. 1Gb itself is quite a bit of data for an aircard/evdo thing to do, as slow as they are. And with only 21 uses of it, thats a good bit of data: ~51Mb per session avg., which with normal speeds around 200k, ~25KB/s, would be 34Mins of constant full bandwidth usage per session, 12Hrs total, but probably 3-4x or more that time realistically.
Granted, I do not agree that its "AT&T's responsibility" to notify them that the card is seeing usage, but it probably is in AT&T's best interest to avoid problems like this, or what the family suggested: stolen card.
I see.swf attack scripts all the time that do the same thing: user clicks to view a.swf, the swf sends a request per second to some other page. Get enough people to click on your "new Flash game" or "sexxy webcam" and you get a DOS (albeit usually weak).
Is they filter out other sites as well, like evite. Try setting up an event using evite, then posting a message to your friends, the evite url gets ripped out of the message. Try obscuring it by running it through tinyurl, THAT gets stripped as well. It forces you to use THEIR invite system, which sucks, cause you then have to duplicate the damn thing to myspace to get the people that are only there, and create the evite anyway, since alot of people dont use either, and just have email...and then go back through each one to figure out who is coming or not... ugh
Tesla Motors certainly does exist, tho they make electric cars. I pass their shop every day going to work and see the Lotus Elise chassis getting worked on in the bays. It backs up almost to the Caltrain tracks in Menlo Park and is plainly visible from the train. I also got passed by one of These on Monday while I was cycling up Kings Mtn Rd to Skyline. Barely heard it coming up from behind, and only the normal electric buzz from the motors as it flew by... it as also blue, bare-frame like the one in the pic, and its license plate was: 170MPG. Saw it again on my way home at the stop sign in Woodside.
The best idea I've seen is to use enclosed racks, sealed with weatherstripping except for vents at the bottom, and put a duct in the top that leads to an exhaust fan on the roof....
As other replies pointed out, sending it out the roof isnt the best option, for many reasons. Chances are, in the summer the outside air is hotter than that in the DC, and humidity is uncertain. Recycling the air will keep the humidity low and more easily controlled (you do want SOME to keep static discharge down, as well as increase the air's heat capacity).
The enclosed rack space is a growing trend, in that it cools only the stuff that needs cooling: the racks. Either from ceiling or floor vents, its pushed up the cold side and sucked out the hot side. The ducting then goes right back to your Leiberts or whatever to be recycled and run again. You could add an electric damper to redirect the exhaust and intakes outside if the temp out there is cooler than the exhaust itself... But typically its cheaper to just run straight ducting.
The drawbacks are that the servers farthest from the cold vent might not get adequate cooling, unless you put dampers in front of those closest to the vent or run a decent pressure differential across the rack, and enclosing the racks properly costs a decent sum of $$.
That being said, the poor mans version can be accomplished by enclosing the cold side of the racks with some tarps, put all the cold vents in the area enclosed in tarpage, and let the rest of the room act as a heat sink for the hot side. It might get quite warm in the room, but the servers will get the cooling they need. If the temps keep rising, you are under capacity and need to pony up the $$ for more tonnage.
If you are superparanoid, you can run your own mta, like qmail or postfix, and specify your own delimiter to regexp out of the address in one of the pre-processing filters. With qmail, I believe you could even just edit the qmail-smtpd config/run file (iirc, been a while) and add a pipe through sed to do the dirty work with the addy before the normal pipe through qmail.
