Even if we gave them the benefit of the doubt and said "yes, gators and crocs and caiman and... are all modern versions of dinosaurs, the result of evolution"... *why* would an animal that is totally carnivorous be able to identify (in any way...) a plant that will do Nasty Things to it if eaten?
Now if we stretch the gators and such to include iguanas, and they did a study on them (or any other vegitarian/omnivor reptile or perhaps amphibian type beast) then they may have half a flicker of a half baked idea...
Until we go back to that "birds are all that is left of dinos" bit.
Not sure about safety, but YT videos certainly help me keep one gun I have clean and functional. Ruger Mk II, just a simple 22 target pistol, but a royal PITA to take apart and even more of a pain to reassemble. Much easier to follow a video than read the printed directions.
So I'll be sure to find my 2 favorite videos of the process and save 'em locally later today...
When hte boom in cell phones started happening, I thought that eventually a pay phone booth would turn into... a phone booth, bring your own phone. Small counter to put stuff on, padded bar to lean on, some way of providing a quick charge, sound proof, perhaps even a faraday cage and a little tiny picocell for your phone to connect to with a guaranteed 5 bars/dots/whatevers (i'm not a radio/electromagnetic radiation guy - would that fry your brain in your head?). Want another 3 minutes of time? Insert another dollar please....
And the state institution I work for *all* employees have their names and salaries available as public records on request. Of course, there is a bunch of exceptions (cops, related to cops, lawyers, etc)
Indeed. My ISP is pretty good (I'm the one throttling Netflix traffic here at my house... wife and 3 kids eat up a lot of bandwidth and I need some reserved for me to do homework) so it hasn't been a concern for me but I've wondered why there haven't been content provider supplied speed tests. Of course, I didn't know about fast.com either...
But a good part of it is knowing how to solve an problem programming wise. Being able to break it down and say "i need an if-then here, and a loop here that does this, and is there a function that validates this or do i need to write one". At that point, looking up syntax or examples works great to learn new stuff. And of course, each language has its own little differences and changes in terminology and syntax
Think they'd do better with their own distribution for Azure. After all, they did do a lot of kernel code 5-10 years ago to make Linux run better in their virtualization environments...
And if you are a student taking certain "IT" courses (ie, any programming, networking, or desktop/server OS class at the tech college I work for) and you can download ISOs and a personal license key (not time limited, etc) for the OS, Office, Visual Studio, etc. via MS "Imagine". Tuition for that one course would be about $300 for an in-state resident...
But as a self taught programmer who works in education I'd love a half day or full day of hands on learning of how to use git and other version control systems
I'd be happy with basic file management and office suite skills and an understanding of security and best practices regarding usernames/passwords, what to look for or do as an end user to keep yourself secure.
FWIW I think I ought to be able to own anything that a law enforcement agency can own. Or, if you'd rather, law enforcement agencies should be restricted to the same firearms, magazines, ammo types, etc. that I can own:)
On a Federal level (individual states get weird with stuff)
If I want a tank, can I have one?
Yes, although for the actual guns you'd need the appropriate tax stamps. Same for the actual exploding munitions, tax stamp (and associated background checks, etc) for each one purchased. Oh, and there aren't that many of the machine guns registered for civilian ownerhsip... so its gonna cost a whole lot of money. You probably won't be allowed to drive on city/county/state/fed maintained roads since tracks mess up road surfaces pretty bad and quick.
An RPG?
Yes. Again, a NFA item, gonna cost a lot, and a long in depth background check. For each grenade.
Cannon?
Not regulated as being "antique or exact replica using loose black powder", although the storage of the amount of powder to feed one of those may come under some regulation.
One could argue the 2nd amendment should allow me all of those things.
In Miller v US (the last SCOTUS case that dealt with restricting what types of arms we could all carry) the governments position was that the defendants un-taxed/registered FA tommy gun and short barrel shotgun weren't what would be expected for a basic infantryman to carry (1903 variant or garand, this was back in 1934) and so wasn't protected, and could therefore be taxed.
This process has worked for me as well, although it is always best to be prepared for the worst. With my/home mounted on a different device (well, RAID-1 setup actually) reinstalling from scratch if needed is quick and easy and doesn't endanger my own data files.
Linux is also good for mostly clueless end users who use nothing more than a web browser and email client. Since I put Mint on my mom's computer (she's 81... ) a couple of years (when the "auto upgrade to win10" crap started) I've stopped getting calls about fixing her computer from viruses, expired trialware crap, etc.
Porsche - or at least Porsche North America - got out of the 356 parts business around 2000, and sold all remaining NOS stock to Stoddard
Fortunately, I have all the weird and special bits and pieces for my 356c coupe- and there are some skilled artisans making 3rd party metal parts for what I'll have to replace eventually (door skins, etc)
If we can include hardware manufacturers, even advanced cool hardware, then I'll throw out a nomination for Ronnie Barrett and his "little" gun company.
After California banned possession of 50cal rifles, he stopped sales and service to all law enforcement agencies in the state. To me, that is pretty darned principled. https://web.archive.org/web/20...
Well, if you are a female masturbating to a picture of a woman, I could be considered having sex with a woman... just not the one in the picture. Unless you have a thing for selfies...
Our IT at work is about to start doing that - they promise it is only to detect malware traffic, and they'd never look at banking info or anythign health related.
I've also found that they'll be doing the same for any SSL based VPN... so it looks like SSH tunnel time for me....
My house is on a back country road that is a back way between 2 small towns, one of which has a bar and the other doesn't. Every 9 or so months, someone misses the curve and ends up in my fence. I call 911, if an ambulance is needed it is 10-40 minutes. Police (state highway patrol) take an hour to show up and give me a report for insurance/etc. For criminal activity, county sheriffs respond. I've only had to call them once (found a gun in the road at the end of my drive) and it took 20 minutes to get 2 deputies there.
No, it wasn't one of my guns - it was a POS plastic Smith & Wesson V40 and totally crushed and useless, so I never claimed it as found property. I like blue steel and walnut.
I know that parents of 3 children can find the time/location to have sex, or even just the energy to have sex. After all, I see parents with 4 children (ignoring twins/trips/other multiple births).
I'm just very confused on *where* they are finding the time, energy, etc

Get a commit to the kernel tree accepted and when your copyright is violated go after them how you will.
Then again, wasn't there a recent thing here about someone doing just that and not getting support for his/her/its efforts?

There is actually a nice section on this in the movie Revolution OS ... well worth watching

I had the same thought when I caught a glimpse of the ST trailers... still haven't seen the movie. Have re-read Armor several times since.

Yup. Find a local community college that offers basic IT classes aimed at passing the CompTIA certs like A+, Network+, etc.
Not everyone lives in a city.
