I'd assume the readers are either scanning, therefore providing multiple possible vectors with which to converge on a locus. Or, they provide angle and distance by virtue of strength and approximate direction readings.
[if] you are referring to the various possessions you have stored around your house, you are completely deluded if you think your kids with "NEVER" touch it, regardless of what kind of "discipline" you impose I'm strict when I need to be. However I think that I'd rather my lad J has chance to play with tools and become familiar with them.
Other night my wife went up to find him out of bed sat on the landing with a box of computer odds-and-ends (cables, PCI cards and the like). I was quite proud of my own little geek!
He asked tonight whilst I was tucking him in if he could look at an aeroplane outside. I said "if you look when I've gone and then get back in to bed I'll never know"... pick your battles!
I'm still using it for a customer database, it's two main problems are it's buggy and hard to use, and slow.
So really it's 3 main problems are being buggy, hard to use, slow* and totally bloated...
Actually it's not half as buggy as it was a few releases back - I can actually use it now to fill in a form without it crashing. Just tried opening a windows XP made odb file in Ubuntu (OOo 2.4) and it's slow as hell and bugged to death, so you might add portability to that list of main problems.
[Yes I've filed bug reports].

But yes you're probably right, husbands are generally considered to be capable of looking after themselves - violent abuse perpetrated by females is not (apparently) that uncommon.
Also of interest is that they changed "solitaire" (aka patience) so that you need to confirm if you want to start a new game.
Seriously, why don't they go the whole hog and let you backup your game... sheesh.
When I'm churning away on solitaire this annoys me intensely.
Solitaire once broke on me too... it allowed an illegal card placement. I've spent too long considering how this could even be possible - bugs in Solitaire.
The questioner says she can't run a live-CD. I can only imagine that's a problem of her ability with computers; in which case installing, scanning, interpreting, then properly removing the software is probably going to be too onerous for her.
He's going to know that she has scanned for spyware, it'll be in his keylogger info.
IMHO the solution is to use a different computer that the spouse could not have accessed, eg at a library or cybercafe.
If they wanted suggestions for combating keyloggers then they should have asked for that instead of couching the question in terms of spousal abuse.
If the problem is being spied on by their spouse then using a computer outside the home sounds the best option.
I did a website for a women's aid group ("WA"), they wanted information about how to keep it hidden from an abusive partner that the women were in touch with WA. I did a review of what the national centers gave as advice, including details of removing history files and such. In the end I settled for the only method being to use a public computer (eg at a library).
Someone else can spy on you for sure, but unless your partner works at the City IT center or for the library (or wherever) then it's not going to be your partner spying on you.
If you _need_ to get out the house and contact someone and your being abused and can't - please call directory enquiries and contact your local Womens' Aid organisation. They can advise you, give you temporary accommodation in a safehouse, help you talk to the police, help you seek mediation; basically empower you to take back control of your situation.
I don't think you're one either! As others have noted their are a series of dots over the page, these appear to be more than just artefacts (but they could be made in the scanning process, etc.).
Again, the vertical lines are all different. The top and bottom points form what appear to be waves, this may be accidental. Moreover, whilst it appears that a single symbol "|" (must be a *nix admin!!) is used in fact the lines vary quite a bit (just looking at "stanza 1"):
Some lines are written top to bottom, others bottom to top, note the narrowing at the ends as the pen is lifted from the paper slightly. Also some of the | are drawn as hooks, either top or bottom and either right or left from the next character. These "stems" (like in musical notation, see other comment) are not merely consistent with up-down strokes - observe Stanza 1, line 4, group 1, the first 2 characters. At least one of the lines has a "stem" not at the end. Again, these may simply be handwriting artefacts but considering the way the lines were written is a clue, which leads me to...
A further possibility that the encoding is vertical (note how the lines don't start at the same left margin). Such vertical (like Japanese, BR-TL) encoding being masked by leaving a space that makes it appear like the letter positions of a TL-BR language. In this scheme the first characters would be (BR) 0111101 (TR)... (BL) 11100101 (TR) and so could simply be a binary scheme.
Hiding the "wrapper" from us, which gives details of the sender, etc., and would probably allow a quicker route in is a bit silly if they genuinely want this decoding.
For example in the middle section (which is hex translation table) the last 3 characters appear to be a signature:
In this "signature" there are 3 chars, the first has no translation "S"/"5", the second and third translate as FC (or 0xFC), so SFC or 0x5FC (light blue!). U+05FC is an undefined character in the Hebrew block. This could be a clue to the language of translation?... just a first look.
I'm still confused are you an atheist or agnostic? You can't be both, either you follow the evidence and become agnostic or you take a faith position and become an atheist.
Looking at my desk, there are no cakes on it. So I can say I guarantee there are not cakes. However that's a position of faith, there's a blind spot behind my monitor. Logically I should be agnostic to the cakes-on-desk position as I don't know everything. If I smell cake nearby, I might take it on faith that there's a cake on my desk... having checked under it and around about to be sure it's not there and knowing enough about my household to tell that it's possible to have a cake hidden there. If I stand up and see the cake on my desk I'm convinced and my logical position is to believe there's a cake on my desk.
I'm in that last camp. I've seen the cake.
I've sat down, I can no longer see the cake, only smell it. Others tell me "oo, cake". I believe it's still there.
Incidentally, I love cake.
What I was saying before about Pyrrhonism, basically my only other logical position (I've tried a few) appears to be not only to deny that I saw a cake but to deny the verifiably existence of all things - the cake, the desk, me...
So you believe a jolly fat dude riding a flying sleigh pulled by reindeers (which would contradict most of what we know about physics, biology, sociology, history even) is possible.
And, you put that on a par with belief that a god exists, when said god (being metaphysical) could have no actual effect on the science we perceive.
For real? Whilst I admire your Pyrrhonism I doubt the equity of your suspension of belief... [that must be pyrrhonic-irony].
Logically, as you appear to accede, the only natural position barring certainty is agnosticism - so why describe yourself as atheist and destroy your credibility?
I became an atheist at about 10 years of age (argument from lack of apparent benevolence, natural disaster), it only took a couple of years to realise that my position was illogical.
Now I'm a Christian. How illogical is that you say? Well it's actually my only logical position available short of utter skepticism (about reality).
I don't see how the catholic clergy can just say "yeah alien life doesn't contradict our religeon" without addressing these questiosn. Naive ever? You think Christian theologians haven't questioned the salvation of alien beings?
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/35/story_3519_1.html is open and suggest a path of Christ to have been presented to other worlds.
does that mean that any intelligent alien life is doomed to hell because they don't have the benefit of baptism and the forgiveness of original sin Original sin goes back to Adam and so probably the doctrine doesn't come in to play. The one thing we can be certain of is that God is a fair judge and that people will be judged according to what they have heard. Baptism, in any case, is not a requirement for salvation only faith in Jesus Christ son of God.
Doesn't the Pope have direct communication with god? Christians believe that anyone can communicate directly with God - one of the signs of this new route to God was the tearing of the temple curtain when Jesus died.
Another was the arrival of the Holy Spirit at pentecost as He removed the problems of having a limited geographical location (Jesus, the Temple) at which to communicate with God.
For some reason Catholics don't like to get too friendly with their Creator and so they stick a priest in the way.
They could get recaptcha to use their images maybe?
I've not really used StreetView as it doesn't do the UK yet AFAIK. However I noticed that I can view peoples car plates and the occupants enough to recognise them... has there been any fallout from this yet, StreetView divorces, prosecutions (eg for soliciting) and the like?
My guess: Slashdotters don't like be advertised to so he subtly hid the project but used a distinctive name as his gmail account name.
Then he got a friend to post a namecheck and point out that he was being a doofus and that he should have linked to the project.

Incidentally in soviet Russia, Natalie Portman told me netcraft had confirmed, FOSS develops you. I certainly welcome our new FOSS developed overlords.
Why didn't you tell me this a few days ago before my laptop was stolen!
I'm resigned to checking the local pawnbrokers and looking on ebay. Sad thing is that they didn't take the power cable so it's next to useless, this IBM Thinkpad R40e has 30 seconds of battery life (awesome ain't it)! That means the laptop is probably in a skip / river somewhere whilst I rue missing backing up last week!

I'd sooner do the user studies than do the maintenance on them.
I guess the issue is that monkeys aren't true random letter generators. Otherwise, I suppose I'd have to go with it, but I still wouldn't like it.
I'm not sure the moderator of the Church of Scotland (CoS) is going to like what you said. The Church of Eritrea might have issues too, dunno.
CoE I'll give you. Call the others Scientologists or Scientology.
