Back in the day, I used to think "Sony" you can't go wrong! That was when they had good TV sets and such. I think I had an early digital camera and a 8mm camcorder from them, and my folks had nice TV's, etc.
Then there were weird memory sticks, then music CD's with root kits, etc. I have not purchased Sony products in years. Probably never will again, there are so many alternatives.
It's located on your State Income Tax return under "use taxes"
There ought to be a box labeled "Other amount that you think is fair" ______
This just adds directly to the taxes owed.
Logically, if all the voters who normally vote for taxes, just volunteered, then they would raise a bunch of money, right? Unless the people who vote for more taxes tend not to be the ones who expect to pay for them...
crippled motorcycle riders who tell their kids not to ride bikes.
smokers who tell their kids not to smoke
Etc... Clearly there is no merit whatsoever to the school of "do as I say, not as I do..." right?
Unfortunately, for politicians, it should matter, but doesn't. Modern American politics (and most others, I am sure) is about picking the lessor of many evils. No matter who you vote for, you won't get what you were promised. Maybe you can pick a "leaning toward", at best. And we don't even get that. Instead it boils down to personal attacks, rarely addressing the issues. Welcome to the cut-jump-edit digital, ADD, apethetic world.
Considering how few acted on the common sense advice voiced by the late Sam Kinnison, relating to the obvious and immediate problem of hunger... I suspect even fewer will do anything about a possible issue with slowly rising water...;-)
Statistically speaking, nobody cares where you have been.
But there is a reason to see if somebody was in a particular place. I wonder if there is a mechanism for law enforcement to do a "reverse" search for "who was at this location" (rather than where has "user x" been).
This technology would be a great way to start looking for suspects. E.g. "a body was found in the ravine..." So search all cell records with approx locations near the ravine during the time of interest.
Not terribly funny. A little clever. Simple fraud is the most accurate.
Think of it in these terms - the "firmware" of these devices is like a financial statement created by Bernie Madoff. The "storage area" is the actual wealth reported on the paperwork.
Why is "fake storage" fraud any funnier than financial fraud. Hey, how about a "funny" story about some discount pharmaceuticals?
And a bunch of stuff we don't purchase... in all the grocery store I know about, you don't need the "loyalty" card... just a phone number that is associated with one.
Nobody said it had to be your number.
That said, I do have loyalty cards linked to my phone number, and I was recently surprised when I got a bunch of coupons, including one for straight up $6.00 worth of goods... for a store I almost never go to, since it is inconvenient.
Turns out my kid in college uses the number, as do many of her friends. "rewards" add up fast when you have a bunch of hungry kids who want the discount.
hmmm, I wonder how many stores have a customer who's number is 555-5555?
I think the most important factor is which of disaster/antichrist/zombies/alien-invasion/whatever it is, exactly. Mostly I suspect your hunker down at home plan is the best in most cases.
Let's see:
* disaster - local (blizzard) wait it out. global - meteor plunges the Earth in darkness for 100 years - pfft
* antichrist - I take this to mean really bad political change, If you don't literally mean a big-G God intervening... well running to the hills might help, if you think you'll do better as a "freedom fighter". Especially if they are rounding folks up by the cattle car.
* zombies - Not gonna happen 99.9999%. Unless you mean some sort of virus type thing... Wait it out (see below)
* alien invasion - Not gonna happen 99.99999999999%. If it does, see below, but note rules for antichrist, above.
* whatever - This has wide range. Do you hear voices? Seek help now.
Seems like either waiting "it" out will allow the issue to resolve itself, or at least winnow out the competition. If it is a cosmic event of species extincting proportions, you, personally, are screwed and only by the most random of chances will homo sapiens survive.
If you are really gung-ho, you are probably better of just moving to the middle of nowhere now, or at least take up back-country camping as a hobby and hoping that the end times come when you are on vacation.
The bottom line is that you should have at least a small stockpile of basic supplies, whether one of the basics includes a firearm or not depends what you are being prepared for, and how friendly you think people are within looting distance of you. Sadly much of America is no longer (if it ever was) as polite as Japan is. I've heard there is no word for "looting" in Japanese...
Slashdot Mirror
As I understand it, the Vernam cipher is basically a OTP, which, while cryptographically "perfect", as you say, the implementation is a bit hairy...
Oddly, these Internet memes don't seem that bad, with the mellowing of time. Here is what I think of them now...
tubgirl: blow up dolls are funny
lemonparty: reminds me of Barney Frank
goatse: what is the medical term for that?
Eh, YMMV.
At least as far as I know.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Silly - CS means Creation Science.
You know, create documents, spreadsheets, humans, fake fossil history - it's all Creation, but with Science behind it!
Same thing, right?
Don't vote for them again What do you mean again? I didn't vote for them in the first place.
I've have voted in every election for the last 30 years and my candidates rarely win. My conscious is clear.
drinkers who tell their kids not to drink
crippled motorcycle riders who tell their kids not to ride bikes.
smokers who tell their kids not to smoke

... and living in a tropical island climate. With daily water boardings for entertainment.
OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if the death photos show up closer to (re)election time, if the administration thinks it will help the campaign.
Considering how few acted on the common sense advice voiced by the late Sam Kinnison, relating to the obvious and immediate problem of hunger... I suspect even fewer will do anything about a possible issue with slowly rising water... ;-)
I am confused, I thought a car analogy would clear things up for me, but you gave a truck analogy.
Well, as long as we have worthless pop culture references to toss at it, let's keep it simple; "He's dead, Jim".
Moving on...
The word you are looking for is syllogism. You don't need to make up new words just because it is " on line".
Stick it to the man! The irony - you've described the values of the core voters for the current "man"!
They're not losing money.
Are you sure? Was it one of the hotels owned by Host Hotels? (Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons, Marriot, etc. etc.) If so, then yes, they ARE losing money.
You kind of sound like a jerk, but based on your sig, I guess that is the vibe you are going for.
To be safe, you should always use both a belt and suspenders!
They guy at Best Buy will still try to sell you the extended warranty too!
If there are a statistically significant number of numskulls, security-wise, doesn't that ironically make it somewhat "safe"?
If there are lots of "targets" any one poster's odds of being hit is less.
I suspect burglary is largely a crime of convenience and there is not a lot of high tech "casing the joint" kind of work going on.
Personally, I don't post any clues about my life, but I am just trying to be objective here.

And manage to have the brake lights not be activated in either picture...
Shhhh! Obviously they are burned out. Keep quiet about it or you'll give them the idea of tacking on "equipment failure" to the ticket too!

If you think knowing how to create an A-Bomb is useful, here are some more "how to do it" items of equal importance and utility!
Our Grocery stores track what we purchase

Maybe you need to diversify -
Anon-Admin Company DBA "Lab Supply Co" and "Kitchen Ware Inc"
item catalog_a catalog_b
0001 petridish saucer
0002 syringe baster
0003 beaker teacup
etc...
The CC processor shouldn't have any problem with stock item 0002, if they only see catalog_b, right?
