I just heard a senior lawyer on CNN talking how the bombing can be hardly classified as terrorism because it was carried out by an American citizen on US soil (or something along those words) and so suspending his citizen rights may be unconstitutional which would play well for his defense... Dzhokhar possibly did not even commit a federal crime - so the maximum punishment is not death penalty but life imprisonment. Overall I'm going to watch closely how the human rights aspect will play out - his rights as well as the rights of general public, in both directions: upkeeping and restricting.
The windows disk partitioning tool is "diskmgmt.msc". On Windows 7 if I open the start menu and type "diskmgmt.ms" it still does not offer "diskmgmt.msc" in the search results. It can't get more broken than that.
If the terrorists could gain wide enough support in their country to get control of the military and if their military could take it up to the US military they would attack the US military. But they don't, so they take it up to the easier target. What did you expect them to do? Give up? Besides their view is that the US soldiers in their country were sent by the US government voted in by US civilians.
I can get a certificate from sate-run CA. That means I can authenticate myself to a state-run service. Why not have a state-run service that produces a signature for a document (or encrypted document or document digest) that I upload? That would be a great service. It would even take some workload off the notaries (which would certainly make them very "happy")... I should patent that.
First, I want to be able after years to verify that the scan was not modified. Second: There are countries that do recognize electronically signed documents as legal documents (if signed with a certificate issued by state-run CA). I did not actually check with a lawyer if this fulfills the requirements, but... why not to have the option?
I've been thinking about the same problem as the TFA recently. There is more to the task than simply scan and store.
What about assigning tags to the documents? Fast previews? Searching based on time/time range/tags/fulltext? Grouping related documents? Annotations? OCR?
I'm considering to write my own solution, but if there is something useful out there, I'd like to have a look.
As far as I know (which admittedly isn't very much in this area) the supplier that provides the beverages for the duty-free shops has to have security clearance and certification and the bottling and delivery process has just as string security as the airport checkpoints. That does not mean that they have to go through the same checkpoint as the passengers, but that they go through some kind of security check.
I would not bet a dime on security of that process, but it certainly gives business opportunity to the beverage supplier, company doing the transport and foremost the company doing the certification (i.e. rubberstamping the application forms).
Do most computer users know what Linux is? Have they even heard of it? And do they care?
I think "no" is the correct answer to all of these, especially about whether they care.
So... you are confirming that Linux is missing marketing, right? Ok, got it.
The customer also have no idea what are the technical differences between BMW and Toyota. Nor do they care. But surely they have an opinion on them. Uniformed opinion, however opinion nonetheless. And they base their purchasing decision on it.
I would not care about the marketing either. If I did not have to watch what kind of HW I buy and whether it is supported by Linux. A customer holding two boxes in aisle and making a decision is simply comparing what box lists a longer list of features. No matter what the features are. If there is no marketing, there is no awareness on the side of OEMs and they don't bother putting Linux on the list. That sucks.
Excuse me. A bully is someone who is bigger than you, stronger than you and has a group of followers on his side. You were small, weak and alone. Are you saying that NK is the bully and US is the poor kid afraid to be beaten?
Sorry. I'm no proponent of NK, but from here it looks like that what US is doing is a provocation. Of mentally unstable, suicidal lunatic. If you want to show your force, go ahead and do it. On your half of the globe. Not in the backyard of the idiot.
$500 is 390EUR that buys me 255l of gasoline over here which gives me 3640km of driving. A month. Which is ~180km per working day. Do you commute 90km a day? No way I would do that.
Housing, about 1k
The property tax is negligible. Heating+electricity is less then $250/month for me. For a flat of ~60 m^2. Yes, I would take double size of that, but it still would be much less then 1k.
Of course my employer knows it and pays me peanuts compared to numbers mentioned in this thread. It's still not bad considering that I commute 10 minutes by foot and have a stable job for years to come. Even in this shitty era.
When I drive there are two cases where I break the law. Those that are fully planed and rationalized, such as driving slightly over the speed limit but with the flow of traffic. For these I stand up and say "dam right I did it"
That's going to work only if the justice system is... you know... just. Which it isn't. Since the times of Cardinal Richelieu at least. You probably broke some law today before you got out of the bed.
"No comment."
"It was done in full compliance with the law"
"We would love to, but {the_other_party} will block that"
"That's the fault of my predecessor and he does not work here anymore"
"Yes, if we get more funding"
"Yes, it takes away some liberties, but it's for the children!"
"We would love to, but cancelling that bloody contract is not possible."
"If we let that happen, then the terrorists have won!"
"That's a great question"
"We will appoint a committee to investigate that"
"Pull down your trousers and bend over"
If A may vote against my wishes (in order to avoid "creating standstill"), then obviously B may vote for my wishes - for the same reason: to avoid a standstill. All that with A and B declaring opposing viewpoints before election. How is then voting A better then voting for B?
I've said it on slashdot before that lobbyists aren't the problem - they can't vote after all.
Except the evolution of politics does not depend on voting. It depends on the people swayed by lobbyists.
The problem is people voting for somebody without even bothering to examine their character -...
Except there isn't anybody with good character to vote for. Because people with good character just look into the Augean stables of politics and give up in desperation. Only those with bad character are actually interested into going there. The bad character is, in fact, a prerequisite to "success" in this area.
You don't get it. They created that work of art. As in: they arranged that spectacular crash. They put their most talented people to it. And they certainly deserve to protect their work and investment. If you want to have your own spectacular crash, you have to pay up. It's all because we, the society, want "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".
It's already a criminal offence here in the UK to refuse to hand over a password if the Powers That Be want to know what your encrypted communications say

A Justice Department official says the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception. (emphasis mine)

One more thing I forgot: electronic signatures.

Lie down? You are doing it exactly wrong. It's not thinking too hard but a classic example of hangunder. Go get a drink.

"ARM? What's that? Never heard of that. It is certainly unimportant. Who cares if it is locked down. ..." is that what you are saying?
That word "only" does not mean it is insignificant.
"It was done in full compliance with the law"
"We would love to, but {the_other_party} will block that"
"That's the fault of my predecessor and he does not work here anymore"
"Yes, if we get more funding"
"Yes, it takes away some liberties, but it's for the children!"

"If we let that happen, then the terrorists have won!"
"That's a great question"
"We will appoint a committee to investigate that"
"Pull down your trousers and bend over"
The possibilities are endless.
Sometimes I stare at some code for hours, debug it and still have no idea how it works. And I wrote it.

I see you are looking for a free country, foreigner.
This is not the country you are looking for.
Is that better or worse then lose them all and remain married?
And here is why.
