Come one there is a difference between a contract dispute and a fraud charge. If you thought your land lord altered documents after they were signed or materially stated something was working when you took passion and it was not and then tried to bill you; those things would be examples of fraud. You should go down the local police in those cases and file a complaint. I am sure the local prosecutor will be interested! Unless your landlord is his brother or something and then well your are screwed. This is why its almost always an elected position though so that corrupt prosecutors don't keep their jobs.
Now if you think "responsible for keeping drains clear" means everything from the far end of the trap up, and your landlord thinks it means all the way out to the street, and wants to charge you for digging up the lawn to make a repair; that is contract dispute. Those are the types of matters for civil courts, and either per say representation or private attorneys.
If you are the victim of a crime you really do have options most places. If you file a complaint someone will listen if there is merit, most of the time. These people want to get re-elected. They don't want you crying to the local paper how they failed to help you.
This makes me wonder if there is more risk in hosting providers now that virtualization has taken off then then existed years ago?
It used to be that you leased a physical box. It was your box and you would hope that if some sorta raid or something happen they would not need to disturb your equipment. It would unfortunate today if your e-commerce site got snatched up because it happened to be on the same SAN as some evil doers VM.
I know that DDupe is the way of the world now too in that market but its likely that most of that is happening at the SAN level (most of the products I have worked with do) and the replica is going to end up seized as well because it will also have the accused stuff on it.
That means you need multi-national sites, which might not be economical for smaller shops.
If there were no warrants why did he unlock the doors? If the FBI or anyone else showed up where I worked and asked me open up the data center for them I would ask to see a warrant before handing over my RFID badge and if they came without a warrant I would direct them to the office of our corporate council.
This is not because I have done, or think anyone else in my org has done anything wrong; quite the opposite in fact Its just common sense. You don't expose yourself to law enforcement without a reason for doing so. Its that same reason you NEVER let a police officer enter your home without a warrant. You might not think you have anything illegal or anything that might be probably cause to suspect a crime but It would suck to wrong. If you let them come in then they can act on and use anything they see; better to have a polite conversation on the front porch, give them their $10 donation to the fraternal brotherhood and send them on their way.
Man I wish I had some mod points so I could make sure the rest of Slashdot sees your post. You are right on. The Pax Americana has been the best thing for world peace, general prosperity, and stability since the Pax Romana.
Way to many people don't seem to understand that. Our Hegemony is not without its problems but the complainers need to consider not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
You are right they don't give a hoot. Which is why we need a president with the balls to admit it. International diplomacy is by and large a very expensive, slow, and ultimately ineffective if not detrimental process. The only that that has ever worked is Pax Romana/Americana. One nation having such an overwhelming military advantage over ALL others even its allies that nobody dare step out of line.
Its still expensive, but it works as long as the leader nation remains vigilant about maintaining their lead!
All diplomacy accomplishes is keeping existing conflicts going on forever at a smolder. The absolute hegemony of the one usually over time eliminates these conflicts because the cultures that are in conflict with one another are gradually erased, and replaced by that of their hegemonic overlords.
All suspending our development and testing of weapons does is allow others to develop more advanced technology that causes the devices we do have to be less of a deterrent. Stopping work on the missile shield is just as stupid for the same reason. We can't hit you but you can't be sure you can hit us is a great argument for you not attacking us with nuclear weapons of any kind.
Obama is a criminal, he is disregarding his oath of office; to push his own personal ideology. There is nothing wrong with a president having one ideology or another in general but when its clear that it does not have the best interests of America as its end goal then its a conflict and its illegal. Obama must be impeached now, ideally he should be charged with Treason as well, there are plenty of whiteness after all.
Oh please a in those days most people either were savy enough to click a, "Setup Floppy Detection" icon in the control panel or would not have been installing an FDD on their own any way.
OEMs could have just shipped things preset for the type of drives they were using. Retail installs could have done the detect at the same time the installer is already having the user make their boot floppy.
well considering that its reducible to y=aX, no I don't. Unless I am not understanding what you wrote and the 0 and 1 were supposed to be sub or superscripts.
Giving up things like OoO and having long pipe lines only makes sense if you can really push the clock rates up. A 1Ghz chip that need 50 cycles to do an add, is not an impressive performer.
I don't care what he says. Its clear that he has parentage that was Muslim. He also attended Muslim schools. These things are facts. Its also true that you are not really permitted to leave the Muslim faith. Regardless of how Obama sees himself in terms of Islamic law as I understand it Obama is indeed Muslim, heretical perhaps but a Muslim all the same.
Its also evident from his politics he has Muslim leanings and is an antisemitic. All of his recent middle east actions have been to the detriment of Israel. Which I am sorry but no matter what you think of that situation; people need to realize the Israeli state is not going to willingly resolve itself. Israel has been a good and loyal friend to America in the region, pretty much or only friend. They have stuck by us, we should stick by them; its the decent thing to do. Obama though is a criminal through and through as near as I can tell and there is certainly no honor among thieves so I am not terribly optimistic.
I just hope his time in office is help to a minimal four years.
Happens all the time. Usually its a non event which is why you don't hear about it. Often just because they can't get a warrant then and there does not mean the investigation is over. It just means they need to find more cause. Shouting all over town that their warrant to search X or seize Y was refused would prevent them from being able to continue observation because the potential offenders would be tipped off.
This is America though, The government (Police in this case) are supposed to be afraid of the the people; not the other way around. The Police should not be poking the bear that is the general public. Obviously the police must have done something to this guy to make him feel the need to start and anti department blog.
There is probably more to the story on both sides and more than enough stupidity and short sightedness to go around. This guy is correct though about the cable modem. In what way could the modem possibly be evidence? Its not any more then a photo copy of his cable bill would be if they needed to show he had internet access, in fact the later would be better proof.
There actions were obviously putative! Just like the raid on that colo where almost all the equipment was seized no matter who the owner was. This should not be tolerated! I as F**K the Phoenix Police!
This discussions always ignore on MAJOR problem. America subsidizes the R&D for medical around the world. Our Insurance companies are indeed victims of the medical industry as are individuals. Americans pay more for drugs and experimental procedures almost universally because there are no price controls and few single entities, like a government, with enough buying power to dictate costs. Yes costs also get pushed up by emergency and indigent care, yes they get pushed up by people delaying care for to long because they can't afford it, those things alone are not the drivers.
What this will do is either severely curtail the R&D going on in the medical field or raise costs enough on other nations that their care levels go down, taxes go up or both.
The truth is you have to be pretty poor in America to not be able to afford reasonable quality care, as in an HMO plan. Really you can get basic coverage for 10K per year for a family of four. My guess is a good number of uninsured people could come up with that money and they DECIDED to allocate it another way.
Still these are probably people with 45K salary's who after a couple child credits don't pay any taxes. Subsides are always fungable all that's going to happen is these people will drop the HMO if they had it and run out and get cell phones and cable tv. The others are going to continue with the cell phones and cable and gain health care. This all comes at the expense of the middle class. The rich won't be paying at least not proportionally. They have to many tax shelters available to them. America's problem is its tax code. It is completely unfair to the middle class. Even when we are not havening are taxes raised directly criminals like our tax evading Treasury secretary appointed by our Communist President are busy with quantitative easing. Guess who that helps? Super rich banking organizations that need to get rid of bad debt cheaply, and super rich people who can afford to hold things like precious metals rather than cash; and then pay employees with cheaper dollars. Mean while the money the rest of us have our money devalued.
Then the middle class get to pay the highest tax rates "in real/opportunity cost terms" so it can be gifted to a bunch of dead beats.
This government has totaly grossly exceceded its mandate. I am already longing for the Bush years.. I say we tar and feather the entire Legislative branch and all the officers in the Executive president included.. Who is with me?
Clothesline are very ecologically friendly. Nature is more important than your selling price.
To you maybe but not to me, and apparently not to many many other people as its a common bylaw in many HOAs, mine included. They can often be an eye sore and thankfuly its the HOA's relatively democracit choice not your BS totalitarianism, where you appartly decide whats not only good for you, but for me and the entire planet. No thanks you self rightious jerk.
Why don't go move to one of the vast sea of homes not belonging to an HOA, and if your already live in one just be glad about it. Put up your clothesline and live your own life.
The problem is that player won't let you commit any writes; you loose all the changes when you shut down the vm. I guess you can get around that by saving everything you update to the network, I supose you could even create a VM that mostly boots of network storage, root nfs, and however you have to do it on windows. The trouble is all of these options mean you really can't use it without the network.
I am with you mostly but have you tried looking for this Chinease goods demanding consumer in um China? I susupect given how nationalistic that societ is you will find them there at least.
I really don't see why students should need laptops. I know some people like to type there notes, and I guess thats fine if they want to invest in laptop just to do that but; otherwise what is the point.
Its not like you need the portable in class, I hope while in class the the prof is lectureing or moderating some type of discussion otherwise why are you in class? If you are doing things "in class" that really require the computer somthing probably is not quite right...
Actually you could probably implement this pretty easily if your were willing to license something like VMware ACE. The trouble is its expsensive and probably not easy enough for the now CS/IS folks.
When I was in school I did not live on campus and it was before laptops/notebooks got quite so affordable as they are now. Sure they could be had but the price for something that could really replace your PC was still in the $2400 range. I had my PC at home and used the lab at school. We could ftp files to and from our home directories so I never had to carry media back and forth either. Just remember to upload the latest copy of whatever before I left home, and download it before I resumed work on it there.
Even with dialup moveing a ~300K code listings was plenty quick. I would miss the computer lab though. The thing is even if you can carry your own computer with you wherever you go now. It still takes time to unpack, boot up, finally put away. I guess some of the newest netbooks have batteries that will let stay in suspend to ram most of the day now. My laptop from work is serveral years old now; and I am still just using the same 600mhz Slackware PC at home to type this.
It was nice to just walk into the computer lab sit down and get started.
Everytime they models don't predict the results there is an excuse. Global Warming has become as unfalsifible as any Religion every has been.
Oh well the ICE caps got bigger, umm umm, CO2 is makeing more clouds and keeping us cooler for the moment but its going to get hot we sware..just wait
Oh well core samples and focile records show we have been though much more extreeme temperature swings and more fequently in the past long before industrialization.., umm umm, yea some stuff and whatnot but this time its diffent. Just wait for this next *Nino Cycle to end then the wether is gonna get crazy...
Oh forget global warming, its global cooling.......
Oh forget global cooling/dimming its global warming......
Ok Ok global climate change, we have not idea whats happening but we know we are somehow responsible for it and its going to be a catastrophe. - Sounds oddly religious to me.
Given the class of folks behind "Gerbil Warmening" ( I like that I am going to borrow it from your ) the fact that they need to resort to personal attacks like calling him "an old coot" and like is both unsurprsing and farther proof they are not worthing listening to and that Dyson probably is...
Global Warmin is bad science, as a general rule. If you look at most studies past the title they all play fast and loose. There is some good work being done for sure; but its been turned into a Religion, and the facts are thin, and or simply made up.
After it was revealed the Hocky-stick report was done with largely fictious data I don't understand how the public can stick behind this garbage. They just cling to the hope of their lord and master Barrack and the Queen of the Damned herself Nacy; and gobble up anything their pathetic pitchmand Gore says. You know he actually was quoted saying "I am not going to let science get in the way", why anybody takes anything these people say seriously without first independantly verifying it is beyond me.
Dyson on the other hand is a great thinker who has done great science, real science and knows how its suppose to work. Hopefully people will take him as seriously as they do their false prophets.
