haha, yeah.. i've never gone that "primitive". I'll fish if i'm on a kayak or canoe.. but never hunted anything for food (crayfish sometimes.. but doesn't really count).
The passes aren't for permission really, but more like a use fee. So they can keep the trails clear/clean and provide trashcans at trailheads and stuff. I use to just go out into nearby forest but lately i've enjoyed the Red River Gorge area and you absolutely cannot just go for a random hike.. you would certainly die, haha. Trailmap is a must in that place. Some of the most bizare land to walk through.
The downside is douchebags on the trail with you. Once i was just finished breaking camp and this guy comes into the area searching for stuff. He found a couple tent stakes and scooped them up and started huffing and puffing. I didn't leave them and certainly didn't know they were there. He just took the stakes and walked off, head held high. If he would have confronted me with that attitude, i'm sure i would have hurt him. The whole thing was so intrusive.
Good for you man! If i may suggest, don't over plan it. Keep a GPS in your pack just in-case.. but just grab a trailmap from wherever you buy your pass. Take 5 min to pick the trails that will take you away from civilization and get you back before dark the next day (or however many days). I usually halve my trail distance because i like to stop and explore (or find a cliff and read a book).
I would also like to suggest that you don't take a full-size tent. A 10'x10' tarp or bivy is the way to go. Full-size tents aren't worth the weight unless you are staying in one spot for a few days. A small bag of tinder and a cheap lighter instead of a portable gas stove. I also suggest no easy foods like hotdogs. Go for better and more complex meals with all the ingredients sealed in ziploc bags. You will have a lot more time to cook out there than at home. blah blah ok i'm sorry.. i'm sure you have a good idea of what you want and want to do. But the key thing is to get out there and do it. Good luck and happy trails!
what a horrible book. The guy is a cultural racist. There was more redneck bashing going on than talks about his failed walk. About the middle of the story he gets really concerned about the environment and is critical of other people damaging it. But he didn't care when he littered half his pack down the trail.
I used his book to light my grill a couple times last summer. Quite possibly the worst book i've ever read. But if you don't ever go camping and you enjoy looking down your nose at everyone.. you will love it.
A better camping book, imo, is Tunnel in the Sky by Heinlein.. and it doesn't even take place on our planet. I apologize to marqs for pooping on his recommendation but that book and I are sworn enemies. I am duty bound to prevent its spread.
Ouch. I didn't say much about this video but i didn't see an apache shooting at innocent journalists or children. I did see an apache shooting at what they thought was an armed group. Then they shot a van that was trying to rescue one of the targets. I also saw that when the ground units arrived, a search of the van showed that there were children inside and the soldiers rushed the wounded children to safety. I then heard a chopper pilot try to convince himself he didn't do anything wrong by placing blame on the victim. It was a terrible thing to watch happen.
Unfortunately these kinds of situations happen often. Everyone reacts to them differently and the experiences will create veterans that can deal with them better (or the soldiers will f-up and be put in less trying situations). But there will always be shitty situations where the optimal solution can only be found in retrospect. The lesson being that you should always look for the 3rd option.. it's there somewhere.
Your posts usually punch my frustration buttons but you are dead right about ACTA. But don't take my comment to be asking you to stop (not that i expect you to).
Sounds like automated trading got shafted and not actual people buying/selling. I'm cool with that. Not very different from eve macro's or whatever MMO macro.
I don't think you have a choice of stopping the purchase like that. It would be like you're at a gas-station pumping fuel.. you look at the sign and it says 2.70$us.. ok great. You swipe your card and start pumping. After a gallon (or liter) or two the price goes up to 2.85$us. You don't know this until after you're done pumping fuel. The price then falls back down to 2.70$us.
Farscape! But wait, there's more.. Sliders was butchered by Fox and canceled. I enjoyed Space Above and Beyond, Threshhold, Odyssey 5, and more.
Almost all of them never made it to a 2nd season and had abortive endings. You know what i mean.. the plot is getting good, the characters are enjoyable, and blam! crazy episode that doesn't make sense but tries to explain that everything is ok.. we won.. the show is over.
They need cult games i think.. even some older games have cult like followings and would buy the linux version. I recently got into Mount & Blade: Warband... totally addicted to it. I could see that game being a good seller on linux.
That wasn't top secret information. Just routine stuff a low level intel guy had access to. I don't think top secret is even allowed on the SIPRnet? My guess is that whistleblower grabbed anything and everything he could.. no matter what it was. The kid was already in trouble and on his way to getting kicked out.
It's up to US companies to generate and sell electricity to the people. I don't know about elsewhere, but in the US i don't think big companies are interested in making the world a better place. Just to make more money. It will take a government incentive to get any company to "invest" in the future because they are making plenty of money now with coal (atleast where i'm living).
I don't think you can have upstart power companies either because monopolies have been granted for population centers. Anyone know how that works?
Ok, i'm with you on that with one exception. Farscape was my B5 replacement. Firefly was good too but barely got started. Heck, B5 wasn't any good until season 3! It was the epic long story that made B5 so good (and Sheridan speeches, hah).
Farscape also features a long story arc about a war spanning the civilized territories of the galaxy. The main character being the only human is the least specialized of all the races and generally clueless.. but makes up for this with his flexibility and retarded plans. Give it a shot man, i think you'll like it.
The difference is that you can selectively allow scripting from one site and disable scripting from others. So you can trust certain sites but if they have embedded scripts from elsewhere they won't be active.
I might be getting my plug-ins confused but i think it also prevents click stealing? If i click on a transparent item or two semi-overlapping items it will popup a box showing both items and ask which one i was intending to click on. It only does that if it looks like a click-jacking. I'm at work but can't check.. this feature is in noscript or betterprivacy.
I use several different FF's in different sandboxes and forget what is used in each one. The trusted one is noscript only but many sites permanently allowed. If i click a link in an email or a program opens a url, an untrusted FF will open with maximum protections on. Upon closing the sandbox is cleared.
I think it's just a matter of personal preference. You prefer not to be bugged by things and don't want to nit-pick over details. I prefer to explore possible security mechanisms even if they cost me time.
But that link is for a Mac-only tool chain of some sort. Does this mean the arduino IDE will be replaced with this Transterpreter thing? If they have a library or something drop-in for the arduino IDE (written in java), i would think it would work for any platform.
I think that would be too much for an arduino. Some PyMite requirements: 40 KB program memory; Initializes in 3KB RAM; print "hello world" needs 4KB; 8KB is the minimum recommended RAM.
Arduino hardware: Flash Memory 16 KB (ATmega168) or 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 2 KB used by bootloader SRAM 1 KB (ATmega168) or 2 KB (ATmega328).
I don't think you can use the word "simple" with threading on the arduino. I've seen several proto-thread type deals but nothing approaching multi-threading. The problem isn't just making sure you don't have functions that block. Some IO stuff needs to be timed like serial/i2c and you have to be careful about interupts taking too much time.
Valve's Steam is good. But they have yet to add a trade/lending feature or even reselling. I doubt they'll open up reselling but game lending sounds easy.

Anyways, here are the trails i enjoy most: http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/boone/documents/maps/rrg.pdf
And if you think they don't look difficult, checkout the topo: http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/boone/maps/topos/83slade.pdf Makes my spine hurt looking at it, hah.
They shouldn't have to ban anything though. People can keep their work and social lives seperate.. there's no need to ban anyone's online social life.
I would say celebrities are more at risk from online stalkers/weirdos than military guys.

A Cat and Crow are friends.. very neat to watch.
Good vid, thanks.
You can build a reader/writer with an arduino: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1206874649/8
I think even in 100 years it will be possible to get the data off it. The file format will be a bigger issue, in my mind.

Where is it? I can't find the port. There is a link to: http://www.transterpreter.org/development_download

Hah, thank you for the correction. It should read: "Unless you count bums and congress-critters."
It is surrounded by monuments and museums.. i don't think anyone lives around it. Unless you count bums.
I'm pretty sure his rank was Specialist. You are right, there is no such MOS called Intelligence Specialist.
