It is American custom to regret needless death, even if you don't agree with, or like, the victims.
Unless they're Iraqi or Afghani women, children, and other innocent victims in the way of glorious American imperialist liberators creating puppet regimes that support Amerika.
On the other hand, someone from Irkan or Turcey would totally curl up in a ball and sob if an Iraqi or Afghani woman or child died needlessly.
WTF is with spelling Amerika with a 'k'? I'm confused--on one hand you bash America, but on the other hand you spell like you are a byproduct of it's public school system...

Right. If Australia were nuked, no one who is a valid United States Citizen as per the 14th amendment would so much as sniffle or feel a pang of remorse.
We're actually required to not care by law. There's a hidden amendment to the constitution (Amendment XXVIII) that isn't printed in normal copies of the constitution or put on the internet. It's only in the secret copies we all carry around in our back pocket. It's called the "Don't be a whiny bitch amendment".

Damn. I guess being born in Portland, Oregon, I'm not an American.
I guess that also means there's no reason for me to celebrate several fewer gold-plated pensions being paid for out of our pockets regardless of how good or crappy they were.
Inputting my friend's router's MAC address on his site (here) results in a location circle about 3km wide and about 10km away from his house.
Close, but not close enough.
Should I be worried that Google knows the correct location for a new WAP which I just turned on about a month ago in a small po-dunk town in the middle of nowhere?
I mean seriously--the town has a population of approximately 10,000. It's hardly Austin or New York. Maybe I just timed it correctly.
The difference though is that Verizon won't get in trouble for hacking the routers though.
Of course not. They had permission.
If I access the router and changed the password on behalf of the moron, I could face jail time.
RTFA -- it's not a Verizon-owned router.
Nonsense. If you changed it with his permission you would no more face "jail time" than he (or Verizon) would.
Verizon used a hidden backdoor to his system. How this is a favour is anyone's guess.
It's situations like this that make me thank God that I know how to turn an old trashy computer into an awesomely powerful linux firewall in about 15 minutes.
Maybe they were able to access your router because the password was still password1?

Years ago, a friend and I would drive around Vancouver connecting to wide-open access points and checking to see if we could attach to home computers and print to their printers via SMB. When we found one (or the occasional JetDirect-enabled printer), we would print out a page that said their wireless was totally insecure along with links on how to correctly secure common access points. I was told we could go to jail for illegally accessing computer systems along with theft of services (apparently the page of paper along with the ink).
this is true but FISHING for a resin like they were doing ISN'T a resin
I think you're missing something:
Resin: any of various solid or semisolid amorphous fusible flammable natural organic substances that are usually transparent or translucent and yellowish to brown, are formed especially in plant secretions, are soluble in organic solvents (as ether) but not in water, are electrical nonconductors, and are used chiefly in varnishes, printing inks, plastics, and sizes and in medicine
I've never paid more than $30 for Windows. Many people get it for free. You just aren't trying at all if you pay full price.
Either you aren't buying a legitimate copy of Windows which could put you in legal trouble if they ever caught you, or you work for Microsoft--or you're a full-time student.
Didn't the almighty Shuttleworth just tel us about the linux version of that? Apparently Microsoft made their own version for Windows users. I'm sure they'll tweak a few things, make it completely incompatible with Linux, and then brand their 'improved' version Microsoft Factionism.
This is probably a beautiful photograph that I will never see because the technology required is only available on operating systems that require you to fork over dump truck loads of cash in order to use legitimately.
I'd love your idea if I didn't have the worry that we'd be wasting time that could be vastly better spent on teaching science.
How hard is it? Some people believe the universe started with the big bang. Most religions think this was caused by God creating the universe. Scientists think the big bang happened on it's own. We have no proof either way. Moving on, water boils at 100 degrees C, poop floats, and pop comes in a can. Any questions?
I have no problem with them teaching the kids about any belief system they want in reglious education classes (and they even clearly labeled it a belief as quoted in TFS), but teaching about beliefs in a Science class is simply moronic.
I fail to see why.
If God does exist, and he created the universe, science would be the method us humans use to test, document, and explain the universe.
Microsoft Windows is really so much harder to use than Ubuntu. Everything on Ubuntu just works, and you have to fuss with windows to get it to do what you want, keep it from getting a virus, hunt all over the web to get software updates.....
I think the only reason Dell does this is because Windows is setup like a toll booth where you have to pay extra to get it to do anything useful or keep it running. With the Ubuntu Boxes they don't sell any add-on software because Ubuntu already has everything it needs to work.
No, the only reason they dropped Linux is because Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a piece of garbage. I have been using Linux for about 10 years, and my wife has been using it for about 5. I bought her a Dell mini a few weeks ago. She used it for a day and said it was garbage. I looked at it for a few minutes, and it felt like I was playing with a kids toy or a pocket organizer from the early 90s. I grabbed a 'real' copy of Ubuntu, loaded it on the mini, and now my wife loves it.
Dell and Canonical killed Linux on Dell by shipping the worst interface since MS Bob.
How about one password that can be used anywhere, securely? GPGAuth.
It was built into FireGPG for the last few years, but when the shitty FireGPG dev (Maximilien Cuony) closed up shop and refused to let other developers continue on using the FireGPG name, it was split out and is currently being rebuilt for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Webkit, etc...
...or a software licenced per concurrent user,controlled by a dedicated server.
Yeah--but then you run into the shitty software that does something like "INSERT INTO CurrentSessions WorkstationName VALUES ('BILLS-PC')"...and when the application crashes, there's no delete. So you have to call the vendor to get a special 'unlock' password to clear that crap out of the database (if you're the kind of person that doesn't know SQL)... It's so much easier when software companies don't treat their users like criminals--because the criminals don't care, and the users are the ones jumping through all the hoops.
A guy and a girl were standing up in the aisle waiting to get off on the next stop, and he burst out, "Hey, he's working in Ubuntu!" This is on the South Coast line south of Australia! Computers are still a novelty down here. This is a sure sign of either the apocalypse or the coming of the messiah. Not sure which one.
It's only a sign if the girl had seven heads or the guy was wearing a funny hat....or something like that.
I picked a street in California totally at random (chosen by fair dice roll). I walked down Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View asking everyone I saw. They all said they loved open source programming.
Because I got such strange results, I decided to survey another street--just to see if my results were due to some strange vortex or something. I randomly picked Infinite Loop Drive in Cupertino. Everyone I asked said they hated open source programming. As a side note, I also decided to poll them about the use of Flash on websites. Strangely, I got no answers. They were all too busy watching YouTube on my Nexus One...
Walk down the street and pick out a hundred random people and ask them if they are interested in programming open source. They don't even say "if you are interested in free open source software" they say "open source programming." Do you think you'd even find one person interested in actually programming open source? That's basically what Dell's "comprehensive" Ubuntu list amounted to.

Of course not. They had permission.

course: as expected

Reason: The word you appear to be looking for.
what law says they have the right to detain anyone without a resin? even with the patriot act they STILL need a resin!
Undoubtedly without a resin, nothing would stick.

There--fixed your fix for you.
"We didn't sell you that pacemaker, we leased it to you. You read the EULA before it was inserted, right?"
Insertion constitutes acceptance.
Disturbing on the pacemaker and a variety of other levels.
Make sure you leave it off for at least 15 seconds before turning it back on...
Don't forget to reboot three times.

None, They just redefine darkness as the new standard.....

I love that one more...
