Less useful but still useful are command shells. These provide file management mostly. I believe some of them may allow for sending and retrieving email messages
What I'm trying to understand, is how the submitter intends to use the CLI for a program without a shell of some kind. Unless he's talking about programs like Midnight Commander or Norton Commander (for people who really are getting old) by the term "command shells".
All that said, an interesting program is motion -- it lets you use a USB webcam as a motion detector, is scriptable, takes snapshots or movies.
We lived in a very rural area when I was a kid... I probably got to go into town 3 or 4 times per year, but what was cool was that the county library had a bookmobile (a large bus fitted out with bookshelves) that would come around every other week or so. It was awesome. I have such pleasant memories of getting on the bookmobile and finding books, even records to listen to. I just checked online -- the Library still has the bookmobile branch, but it doesn't seem to go to as many places anymore.
Depends on where you live and the protections in your state constitution to a large extent. In Maryland for exampel, at least one lower court has ruled that medical records are covered by the third party doctrine (the doctor being the third party), and thus there is no 4th Amendment protection for them. This is a recent case with HIPPA on the books.
Pharmacy records are also not protected in some jurisdictions under the third party doctrine. I'd have to work harder than I want to right now to dig up a citation, but do note that the DEA is busy trying to make sure medical records get third party doctrine exemption from the 4th amendment if the records are shared with a pharmacist -- this is certainly designed to push the envelope on medical records.
Remember, what you think a law like HIPPA does has absolutely nothing to do with the way the Feds will interpret that law. Case in point, Sensenbrenner and the PATRIOT act.
[GP:] They're not interested in terrorism. They're interested in political machinations.
[Bootlicker Cold Fjord:] Please provide evidence that the NSA and FBI are involved in that.
The FBI and NSA spied on Martin Luther King (even attempted to convince him to commit suicide), Muhammad Ali (the boxer), Art Buchwald (a humorist), and Frank Church (a senator). Aside from political, what the hell was that about?
As for concrete examples of how information can be abused, consider the Cannibal Cop. No, he wasn't from the NSA, but he did use a much less extensive Federal database to stalk women he planned to kill and eat (imagine what he could have done with NSA access). Being killed and eaten is an objectively negative consequence, as is being staked for such a dinner date. Secondly, his interest in killing and eating these women had nothing to do with how innocent they were of anything.
Back to the NSA, we do know that people stalked love interests. Certainly much worse than that has happened, but anyone who thinks the NSA is going to reveal that information is nuts. Considering the breadth and scope of the NSA's illegal activities, the chances that innocent people have been harmed is staggeringly large.
The main difference between Demoplicans and Republocrats is their different roles in furthering neocon values. The GOP's job is push things radically rightward. The Democrats job is to solidify that push and make it the new normal. Prime example, GWB and Obama.
I'm sure in N. Korea, disrespecting the military is verboten. Even more so than it is the US. The deal is though, individual people are responsible for their actions and that includes those who decide to join the military. The US has used the military to do some pretty dastardly things in the world form many decades. The government officials who ordered such actions are guilty of them. Those who actually participated in such actions are guilty of them. Those who directly provide some form of support for those actions are guilty (here I would include every person in the military who did not in some way take a direct action against those actions, e.g., Chelsea Manning. Obviously, serving food to murderers supports murders). And finally, those who indirectly support the military and Federal government in its evil acts, are also guilty -- here I include even myself as a dutiful taxpayer.
I don't have kids, or want them, so I don't know what I'm doing in here but gawking, but having been born in 1968 to some hippie parents who spent the first two years of my life camping out in various places in the NW US and Canada, and then spending almost all of my time as a toddler and kid outside doing various things in all sorts of weather, I feel sort of bad for kids who have parents hovering over them. People don't even let their kids ride the school bus anymore, opting instead to drop them off and pick them up at school. It's like all parents have become exceptionally paranoid, which from the perspective of a kid, must be really annoying.
You apparently have not heard about J. Edgar Hoover, nor his not so subtle methods of manipulating various congresspeople.
"The moment [Hoover] would get something on a senator," said William Sullivan, who became the number three official in the bureau under Hoover, "he'd send one of the errand boys up and advise the senator that 'we're in the course of an investigation, and we by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter. But we wanted you to know this. We realize you'd want to know it.' Well, Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the senator's right in his pocket."
Yeah, I know, Hoover was with the FBI, but you'd have to be the most naive idiot in the world to think the NSA couldn't, or wouldn't, do the same shit.
In short, the GP's point was spot on. Of course, when I got about halfway through your comment, I looked to see who wrote it. Imagine my lack of surprise when I noted that the NSA's head bootlicker and astroturfer was the author.
Besides if you think McCain or Romney would have made a different choice you are an idiot. Obama is following the standard conservative agenda and yes obamacare is included. Look up romneycare first.
This basically shows the lie that parties perpetrate constantly -- the one that goes, "our guy isn't perfect but look at how batshit crazy the other guy is.. you can't let that person win!"
One of the reasons I only vote for third parties, and the absence of a third party candidate, for my cat. I vote a straight ticket of: "No DNC/No GOP"
Every day, people voluntarily surrender personal and seemingly-private information to transnational corporations, which exploit that data for profit," Pauley wrote in . Few think twice about it, even though it is far more intrusive than bulk telephony metadata collection.
Thankfully, at least one Supreme Court Justice seems to disagree, because it isn't like people have an actual choice in the matter -- either you live in some manifesto shack in the middle of nowhere, or you participate in modern society by having a phone, a bank account, a doctor, etc. Anyway, this is what Justice Sotomayer had to say about this topic in the Recent Jones v. US case:
More fundamentally, it may be necessary to reconsider the premise that an individual has no reasonable expectation of privacy in information voluntarily disclosed to third parties. E.g., Smith, 442 U. S., at 742; United States v. Miller, 425 U. S. 435, 443 (1976) . This approach is ill suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks. People disclose the phone numbers that they dial or text to their cellu- lar providers; the URLs that they visit and the e-mail addresses with which they correspond to their Internet service providers; and the books, groceries, and medi- cations they purchase to online retailers. Perhaps, as Justice Alito notes, some people may find the "tradeoff " of privacy for convenience "worthwhile," or come to accept this "diminution of privacy" as "inevitable," post, at 10, and perhaps not. I for one doubt that people would accept without complaint the warrantless disclosure to the Government of a list of every Web site they had visited in the last week, or month, or year. But whatever the societal expectations, they can attain constitutionally protected status only if our Fourth Amendment jurisprudence ceases to treat secrecy as a prerequisite for privacy. I would not assume that all information voluntarily disclosed to some member of the public for a limited purpose is, for that reason alone, disentitled to Fourth Amendment protection. See Smith, 442 U. S., at 749 (Marshall, J., dissenting) ("Privacy is not a discrete commodity, possessed absolutely or not at all. Those who disclose certain facts to a bank or phone company for a limited business purpose need not assume that this information will be released to other persons for other purposes"); see also Katz, 389 U. S., at 351--352 ("[W]hat [a person] seeks to preserve as private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected").
Well, it seems that you lights already have wires going to the lights, three in fact for AC. You could disconnect them from the breaker box, pick two of the three wires to be pos and neg, then hook up a 12v battery to run the LEDs. Being just LEDs, you might be able to get away with one of those small sealed lead acid batteries, but worst case, you go get a marine battery. Then you connect a charger to the battery, the type you can just leave connected all the time and will keep your battery topped up. Then you'd have a nice 12v lighting system that would run even when the power was out.
Certainly the Feds were a proximate cause of the destruction of the Murrah building, and as such deserve blame and perhaps even prosecution, but that does not relieve McVeigh and his compatriots of guilt for their direct role in that particular act. That they were guilty of such a terrible crime however, does not in some way make the Feds not guilty of creating the environment in which that crime was likely. So yeah, I wouldn't be upset if those responsible for Waco, got prosecuted for Murrah.
Koresh offered to let ATF inspect the Branch Davidians' weapons and paperwork and asked to speak with Aguilera, but Aguilera declined.[23][24] Sheriff Harwell told reporters regarding law enforcement talking with Koresh, "Just go out and talk to them, what's wrong with notifying them?"
I'll bite, exactly who would you have voted for president in 2012? Obama by then had proved himself to be GWB II. It isn't like the DNC was going to field a different candidate to represent liberal voters. Or what about 2016? Already we hear about HRC being in the lineup -- HRC was so rabidly pro-Iraq war it's disgusting. You know what, the fuck the Democrats. I want to see them lose. If ever a party deserved to be punished for betraying its values, it's the DNC. There is no other language those bastards understand than -- "I lost the election because liberals would not sign up with my neo-con candidate."
You are correct, they are not immutable -- they simply keep sliding rightward because lesser-evil voters are too afraid to lose one election for a larger overall victory. As a result, the DNC is the New GOP and the GOP is a parody of itself. Or otherwise stated, it is the function of the GOP to push us radically rightward, and the function of the DNC to make each such shift the new normal.
I can't understand why anyone would believe a single word spoken by the the Executive branch, the NSA -- any of them. They're just a bunch self-serving liars who murder people. Why would you believe them at all??

Left off the second part of my point which was that for all those who get caught and punished, certainly many more slip through the cracks.
J. Edgar Hoover slipped through the cracks his entire life despite running a subtle blackmail operation in congress.
Of course the ones who get caught get punished. Seriously -- how often do we punish people who, for example, don't get caught robbing a bank?
