And what consumer warning am I in need of when I purchase an iDevice? "Hey, all sorts of people can use this to communicate with each other, and The Government considers free communication like this to be a danger to your individual health" ?
And not being on the "in the server room all the time" end of things, I thought racks were a pretty standard size and rack mount items were described by height factor (1u, 3u, etc) since length and width were determined?
AAA (I have a "plus" membership which has extra goodies to make it worth while, esp, the 100 miles free towing) has bent over backwards to take care of me, including being willing to send a flat bed tow truck down from Georgia (I'm in N Fla about 90 miles from the border) for my antique Porsche. When I had a truck stolen, they offered to pay hotels, etc (I was camping, so I was good, but the offer was impressive) and when it was recovered they paid the towing and recovery costs.
No different than Mandrake shadowing Red Hat releases in the 90s and early 00s... RedHat 6.2 ships, a month later Mandrake 7.2 ships. Didn't even bother replacing "redhat" in the installer screens, etc.
Yup, they don't care that *you* bought roses, chocolate, condoms, KY jelly, and duct tape they care that *someone* bought those items together.
Besides, it isn't as if you give them real information when you get that store card right? One of my local pharmacy chains gives me a new one each time I go in, "No, I left it at home... huh, phone lookup doesn't work (giving someone elses number)? Weird... well, just gimme a new card". Sometimes I don't get a new card and some random person with a phone number in my area code/city gets a few bonus points on their reward card...
Of course, if you are using the same rewards card over and over, and paying with a credit card or other easily electronically traceable method, then yeah, the association between purchase # 3788233249 which contained $items and you paying for that purchase with credit card number 3339991833 can easily be made. Places like Walmart do it for returns - if you have the receipt (purchase number) they can refund your money direct back to your card (even if it isn't for the whole purchase, you bought 3 items and are returning 1 of them).
And while I had played around with Android on a few tablets, when I went to a smart phone I went kicking and fighting the whole way to an iPhone. I didn't want an iThing, but what was available for Android phones just felt "wrong" and were a PITA to just use as a phone.
Unfortunately I think the iPhone physical format has sucked since the 5 series came out, and I'm gonna need to replace my 4 at some point... not looking forward to things...
What language will totally prevent errors and exploits like buffer over flows and sql injection? Or allow clear text storage of passwords? Or hashed, but unsalted passwords?
The biggest "problem" with PHP is that it allows just about anyone to start writing code and putting it out there, with no guarantee of developer skill or security consciousness. And because they got it to just about work and they want to "be helpful and give back", they publish the code/solution as a half assed howto or web article or reply to a forum posting. Then some other idiot comes along and copy/pastes that as a "well, someone posted it so it must be OK" thing into their half-baked code and.... you get the idea.
Sad thing is a modern Camry or Civic has more horsepower than my Porsche.... of course, mine is a '65 356 C coupe, so it isn't hard to beat 75hp and a 0-60 time of 16 seconds...
But yes, Porsches are for driving. That is why for a VERY long time there were no cup holders in the car. You shouldn't be drinking your coffee - you should be *driving*.
For someone trying to bypass firearms laws, the important part is whichever one is legally deemed the "firearm", usually the receiver. You can buy barrels, recoil springs, magazines, grips, sights, and all sorts of other fiddly bits as spare parts, which are legally no different than a spare tire for your car. If you designed a 3d-printed receiver that worked with existing spare parts, you've worked around those pesky laws. (I personally find that law, at least, to be quite reasonable, but some people seem to want to work around it as a matter of principle).
How is followign the law trying to bypass a firearm law? While making for your own self is legal, it is NOT legal if you are a "prohibited person" when it comes to firearm ownership.
And of course, to the person who's actually interested in shooting guns, rather than writing angry comments about them on the internet, the important part is whatever breaks most readily on your particular gun and needs replacement. I expect historical firearms shooters would be quite interested in being able to print parts once considered disposable, or which frequently are damaged, like clips. Or better yet, print brass casings for all those guns whose cartridges are no longer produced. There are many, many guns in collections that can't be fired not because they are old or damaged, but because the ammunition is so scarce. (There are many more problems than just forming the brass, obviously, and I don't think 3D-printing is a particularly good solution for it, but maybe I'm wrong and 3D printing will eventually help).
Forming brass is trivial if there is a suitable parent case. Suitable can mean "same diameter rim and case head size and perfectly straight". Of course you need accurate case dimensions but you can cast the chamber and take measurements if you have something totally unknown, and then have a custom set of forming and reloading dies made. Unfortunately, the really weird stuff is primer dependent - the various obsolete rimfire rounds (44 rimfire for old Henry rifles, etc) or pinfire rounds.

What about the quality of the course? Not just the content, but how it is organized, how it is taught/facilitated, etc? I know that QualityMatters is out there, but is "certifying" a course as being QM compliant enough?
??? Pretty sure it is 3 sats... one for each plane (X, Y, Z) of course, with the selective degradation (is that still on?) more sats give you more accuracy since there will be a smaller window of overlap
GPS is simple triangulation. Works just fine on a flat surface. Of course, the earth isn't *flat* like a piece of paper, it is flat like a pizza - generally flat but kinda bumpy in areas. We still have elevation changes otherwise there wouldn't be mountains and valleys.
Hurricanes aren't really much of an issue unless you are along the coast. Stay 60+ miles away from the coast and the most likely damage is downed trees and powerlines
In fact, take their credit card billing address and just use that for zone licensing and ignore their IP address. It's rather difficult to get a credit card with a billing address in a country you don't reside in and aren't a citizen of.

What is even better is if you don't give the TV a valid DNS server or gateway on your LAN - just a local IP.
Of course, I tried that but as it turns out the TV remote apps for the iPhone won't work with it unless the TV has full internet access.
Fortunately, we tend to keep track of the actual TV remote so we don't often need to use our phone as a remote...
Classic Quake on a big screen tv? Yes please!
Eh, I block ads on the DNS level on my home network. Only sites I use on my phone are none or minimal ads.
Want me to see ads mixed in wtih your content? Serve up the ads yourself...
