America's health care system is second only to Japan... Canada, Sweden, Great Britain... well, all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!
You mean totalitarian? Socialism is an ecconomic system that is working quite nicely in many places. It's propaganda and totalitarianism that are our common enemy.
Unfortunatly, what with all these Al Qaeda Asshats wanting us all back in the dark ages, this reminds me of what could still happen if some them decide to target our own reactors.
Yeah. You'd better vote for Bush so he can protect you.
The Soviet Union agreed [snip] to enter the war in the Pacific 90 days after the official end of war in Europe, or August 6th, Stalin was sending waves of troops to the east to conquer Japan
Of course, gaining full control of the spoils of war had nothing to do with it...
I second the parent. I regularly created 11 sector formatted disks for my own use, the extra space came in very handy when working with digital samplers. You could create the disks with tools like Fast Copy. Takes me back a bit...
You could also format beyond track 80, but it was a little risky the further you got. I think 86 was the absolute limit, but it would be unreliable. It's pretty much the same thing as overburning on CD-r's, different disks/drives had varying results. 82-83 was relatively safe, IIRC.
I completely agree, but to be honest I think asking more than $5 for a CD might be too much in the post-napster world. Just think, the internet is still in it's infancy. Faster speeds and greater access are going to change everything.
So, I was in a Toyota dealer recently. The sales critter said, "We can deal on the price because the dealership does not make much profit on new cars anyway. Our real profit comes from Used Cars and Service."
Great. You believed a saleman? They make a killing on the price, he just told you that to limit how much you wanted discounted, as "they aren't making much of a profit", so you wouldn't expect much.
Jeez, the "I pay X for this myself" argument has been a ploy in bartering for a long time!!;-)
but more importantly threatened their neighbors and brutally oppressed their own people, as in murder, disappearance, torture, and ruthless suppression of free speech.
Sounds like the life of a Palestinian in Israel to me. Or are you unaware of what life is like there? We invade Iraq in the name of freedom meanwhile the majority of the population of certain cities are only allowed outdoors for a few hours a day due to the curfews.
Oh wait...if it ain't on Fox/CNN/BBC everyday, it ain't happening is it...?
It's almost that way right now; the only way to make money out of music is to tour. Unless you are as big as Madonna (i.e. lots of negotiating clout), you ain't gonna see any of your album sales.
With free music, bands could give their albums away at concerts, and make money from merchendising. Short of a complete DRM lockdown on the billions of existing PCs out there, this is really the only viable option for the future.
Music wants to be free is not justifiable. It never was.
Excuse me? Music is reckoned to be the oldest art form created by mankind. Money came along a lot later.
Remember, the "record labels" (look at the name) exist from the manufacture of LPs. Before LPs, they did not exist. Music still existed, composers wrote symphonies and bands played live. Don't tell me music doesn't want to be free. It's always been free; only in the last 50 years has it become a commodity. And the RIAA is going to great lengths to indoctrinate that belief into everyone.
I've seen that on many boards, especially successful tech community ones for devices. First it's just the enthusiasts who help each other out and become known to each other. Then the public hits and everything is cool, new ideas come in and it's a big happy family. Then the new-to-the-net hits and starts asking the same questions, every day, then bitch and swear when they don't get spoon-fed to the same standard as thir own mother would. I've lost count how many times I have to explain to folk that we aren't getting paid to help. Kills the community.

Wouldn't work with the defcon alarm I have. As soon as you move it, the beeping starts ramping to a very loud volume. You'd be as well hitting the device with a sledge hammer, it would be just as subtle.
Oh, and water isn't that deadly to solid-state electronics. Mains yes, batteries no. You might foul the detector (I'm guessing it's peizo) by changing it's resistance, but all that'll do is set it off. It'll take a while for water to kill most things, if at all. Rust will do it in before direct water damage.
So, where is the OSS dial-home project? A simple non-obvious binary that we can drop in init.d or the registry Run section that sends a packet across the net to a listener. Anything goes missing, keep an eye on the log file. An IP and date/time stamp is all it'll take law enforcement to track down the thief.
You might not even need a listener app...just get the tool to try to open a connection to a specific port on your network. Your firewall log will tell all. Use a different port for each tracked machine perhaps?
As pointed out in other threads, most thiefs are non-tech savvy. There is a good chance they will boot up once or twice before reformatting (if they even bother with that!)
I have one, when it says "break open the battery compartment", it means literally. When locked, you can't get at the battery at all without smashing the case.
For someone familiar with one, it would take at least 20 seconds to disable. If you don't know them; forget it. It's just too loud too stand by and try to figure it out. The point is that most theifs are opertunists and would simply go for an easier target. You can't stop someone that is determined.
I use mine at festivals as well, when there is camping. Put all the bags in one tent and lock them together with this. Ideal.
The two techs seem different; the Actuality one used lasers to project the image on the screen. Going by the videos you mentioned, this is just a hack that reflects a relevant image to you from the base of the device. While you get 360 degree viewing, your viewing height is limited. With the Actuality one, I think you could see the image over a much wider attitude.
That doesn't make it right for others. Regarding where the terrorists were located, islamic terrorists' vists to Baghdad before the fall of the regime have been documented. It was not just an occational pleasure trip.
That's just not true. There isn't any evidence that Iraq's leaders supported terrorism, other than the one-off one you citied re. Israel. In no sane persons mind would that justify invading Iraq ahead of many other countries that are still supporting terrorism post 9-11.
Iraqi terrorist links just don't exist. 9-11 and the war on terror has nothing to do with Iraq. Other than creating more anti-US sentiment, which cannot be good in the War On Terror (tm).
You are however right in that a joint enemy doesn't always unite elements. Saudi and al-Qaeda is another example of that.
I wouldn't go so far as to say Saudi is anti-terrorism. Most of their support comes from there. Officially the state denounces them, as it would fsck up their international relations.
Though I do not have enough knowledge of the situation to know why the US supported the IRA. It's not like the US hate the brits.
Many Irish do however. And there are a lot of Irish-Americans over that way! Basically the conflict arrises over Great Britans rule over Northern Ireland. Sadly it comes dowb to religion again, Irish Catholics vs. the British Protestant monarchy.
You're just spitting out propaganda. Don't bother listing the cases of regimes supported by the US, you have proven yourself unable to handle an objective discussion.
Google for "School of the Americas", a CIA training camp. I'm not uncapable of an objective discussion, I just don't have the time or inclination to produce links etc. After all, this is just another pointless internet discussion!!;-)
My biggest complaint is that we have proof that Bush wanted to invade Iraq prior to 9-11. I cringe every time he mentions "terror" in relation to Iraq as in my mind he is pissing on the graves at the WTC, using their deaths to further his agenda. Just count how often "terror" is used in speaches and quotes, despite Iraq having what are probably the weakest terrorist links in the region. The whole thing is based on a lie.
And WMD? Excuse me, but there were many people pointing out the flaws in the inteligence prior to war. MPs resigned over it here in the UK. And they seek to blame inteligence now? With this whole debacle, Bush has manage to take the USA from much international respect and sympathy to probably it's lowest in history. All in just under two years.
Iraq gave money to the families of palestinan suicide bombers and hosted various terrorist organizations, al-Aqsa among others. Many camps have been uprooted there.
Woopie do. Name a Middle Eastern state that hasn't funded terrorism. The "Iraqi" terrorist camps were in Kurdish regions, outwith Saddams control due to the no fly zones. Get a clue. Saddam was the enemy of Islam. It's like Monica and Hillary, they each hate each other but still like fucking the same guy. Just because they are both enemies of you doesn't mean they are allied together. Their hatred and mistrust of each other predates the creation of your country.
On the other hand, the USA was the principle fund raiser for the IRA, costing the lifes of countless civilians. Cheers guys. Can we invade you now? Also, the USA has trained just about every South American war criminal in terrorist and espionage operations. What exactly is your point, caller?
Neither does ecstacy to be honest. The only study that "proved" permament damage was recently dubunked as they had done the experiment with amphetamines and not E!. Of course, the original study is still cited as proof about the "dangers" of the drug despite this (and many other papers by the same research scientist) being completely thrown out by the scientific community. FACT: Going fishing carries about the same risk of death as going out clubbing on E. Horse riding is many times more dangerous! And with all three, if you understand the risks and take precautions, you can reduce the risk of death to practically zero.
But the parent post did mention beer. That does kill brain cells. You do it every time you get drunk. That's what drunk is; the poisioning of your brain by alcohol. And death on alcohol? Go and ask an ER doctor. Lots, never published in the news.
Of course, when the majority of anti-drug messages are funded by the booze industry you have to laugh. I quite like the one on DrugFreeAmerica.org, telling how Ecstacy almost killed a girl, until you actually read the article and find that it was GHB. Actually, all the articles on that site are just as bad, and they seem to have been written by the same person, very similar style etc. ALL LIES I TELL YOU!!;-)

There have also been recent moves in the UK (maybe EU) to do the same, i.e. end the dealer franchise hold over drivers.
Theorized? No, fact. Echelon is 100% real. Here's the EU report on the subject. Published 7th Sept, 2001; kinda bad timing for any news story.
With free music, bands could give their albums away at concerts, and make money from merchendising. Short of a complete DRM lockdown on the billions of existing PCs out there, this is really the only viable option for the future.
Most decent DJs don't even pay for the records in the first place; they get given out as promos. The old "white label" thing comes from this.
