The security measures were also that he wasn't supposed to copy anything from a classified machine. That is something a SPY would do and i don't think he realized the price for spying. He was supposed to protect the information from getting out of the controlled area.
Even after his punishment, would any company or organization trust this man?
I see what you're saying. If the private key could be tied to a specific person then i'd say you're boned. But there's nothing stopping you from generating a new key-pair that nobody knows about.
This isn't used for clearing landmines. Just "Antipersonnel Obstacle"s... IE Concertina Wire or that crazy mesh stuff the Soviets use. If you want to clear landmines with a system like they showed.. the MICLIC is used insead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M58_Mine_Clearing_Line_Charge
I recently built a brand new system, AMD Phenom II 965, Asus Mobo, ocz SSD, ATI Radeon HD 5670 blah blah. I went through the same stuff you are.. double/triple hardware combinations and drivers are up-to-date. I ran all kinds of memory tests, CPU tests, 3d benchmarks, you name it. But some games would cause an instant crash.. or it would reboot randomly while watching a movie. Heat wasn't the issue, that was my first guess for random failure. Spending 2-3 days on each hardware part, I ended up finding people with similar problems as me with the Radeon HD 5670. Turns out the new driver is fail and you have to use an older one. I ended finding a re-pack of sorts from ATI specifically for my card. Completely fixed.
PS: The only difference is i'm not running A/V.. i prefer a little nudity. But i do use sandboxie to run a lot of apps in. Including Firefox.
Yikes, lots of replies. To clarify, it's like netsavior said, the copyright is expired yes, but you can't make them open the vault and hand over their copy.
Whatever versions exist in the wild can be copyied freely.. but the original is in the hands of the original owner and they can sit on it if they want.
If i were to spend 300mil (hah) on a movie that was so awesome and then i took the only copy and put it into my DVD library. Didn't allow anyone else in the world to have a copy. That's my right.
Even after copyright expires, i don't have to loan it out to anyone for copying.. it's mine. But damn would i be an asshole. I think that's the point Richard_at_work was saying. He was saying that just because the copyright is expired, doesn't mean you can always copy it.
I think Richard is saying that if the Owners of Avatar want the original movie to sit in a vault and rot, that is up to them. You don't get a right to copy someone's stuff if they don't want you to. Is it a loss? oh yes. But it's the right of the owner.
I recently bought a Radeon HD 5670 for $100. It has Eyefinity tech "with support for up to three displays". "Yeah, so what?" i was thing.. not exactly a new thing. Well, tricking the OS into thinking multiple displays are actually one? NEW! Glad for this./ article.
PS, card made by XFX and purchased through TigerDirect. Great so far but had a TERRIBLE driver issue with crashing, had to roll back to an older driver.
It's only 10$ and very quick to assemble. It felt wasteful using a full size arduino in a permanent project, so i moved to these. You just need an FTDI cable to do the programming.. it's just a special usb cable. Being able to shave 20$ off each of your projects is worth it. Not to mention the space savings. The only way to get cheaper/smaller is to use a naked chip (imo).
I'm cool with that, if you're cool with Military Personnel working on your body.. who aren't doctors. Your X-Ray tech will be an E-4 Specialist who gets paid ~28k$ yearly. You can't contract out those jobs either because those soldier's need to learn how to do those jobs so they can deploy and perform them.
I apologize for sounding hostile, didn't sleep last night. But honestly, VA hospitals don't typically see a soldier's family. The base/post hospital does. VA hospitals are kind of setup as support for old (read grandpa who fought in the war) vets. It is only in the last few years that so many young vets have needed post-service care. Soldier's on active duty who are injured don't leave the service until they are fixed/rehab'd (in theory). Or their care is migrated from the on-base hospital to a more permanent VA hospital during a medical retirement.
But after you leave the military, if you want to keep using Tricare or whatever, you have to pay (75$/month for a single guy i think? and more for dependants). If you retire, you get medical benefits for life.. so do your dependants i think (until they are over 18)?
I'm glad you think VA hospitals are good, i do too. But they aren't public health care, you have to "pay" into it. Not with money, but an oath and putting up with crazy BS. I think after VA learns to cope with this new influx of younger Vets they can expand to provide coverage for citizens, it's more than possible. The VA has been running such a huge healthcare system for so long they would make a good template for a public system.. if not morph into one (if, like i said.. people are ok with very underpaid military guys working on their body).
TL;DR - The VA is decent and unfortunately setup to be exclusive to military. But would make a good template to follow for a public system.. or expand the VA's capacity to service all citizens.
The alternative is that the soldier's enroll their family into a healthcare program and pay for it then? Ok, cool. So they will remove the benefit from the soldier and pay him the value of the lost benefit so he can then pay for healthcare. It's not like it's the whole family, only spouse and children under 18. No parents or other family, just dependants.
Besides, have you been to the military hospital? Trust me, it's cheaper to leave the military healthcare as it is.
You're angry, that's cool. I will be your punching bag for today.
Not all schools have this problem, it is usually caused by growth. Look at Germany, in the towns there are crosswalks every 100meters and in the city there are crosswalk lights that stop traffic for the walker.
I'm with you on the bus parts, the buses should mass leave and enter with little disruption to the roads. But there are quite a lot of students that walk each day, that is the primary concern.
Just putting up lights that blink all day is a stupid idea, i'm with you on that. If they put up restricted speed lights at all they should go off twice a day for a short but decent amount of time. If the school is isolated the only vehicle traffic will be school related. If the school grew up by a major road (or a major road was planned right past the school) there isn't much that can be done.. the lights must go up. Ever seen a kids playing by the side of a busy 45mph street? scary shit man.
So if i can impose those speed limits on you, i certainly would. I wouldn't impose stupid on you though.. we all get enough stupid throughout the day.. the world doesn't need stupid slow down areas. But it does need caution areas where people... need to exercise caution.
After thought: it's not easy to move a school or divert a major road, that's why the lights are a popular option on roads immediately adjacent to the school.
Yeah, i totally agree with you that the devices can be modified. I think the difference between us is trust in the government.
Take browser cookies for example.. government websites can't use them and so far they've done a good job enforcing that. Even though it would be super simple to enable such a feature and few would notice, it hasn't happened. I should say that Obama is trying to change this before someone jumps in (Executive's take on cookies: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Federal-Websites-Cookie-Policy/). Just like you said about a new politico wanting to change the limits. But they can't just do it, they have to get permission.
There are plenty of great people working for the US Gov that have trust / paranoid issues that i'm sure a whistleblower would come forward about unlawful use of the devices.
I don't know, typing this out i can see how something good could become bad within a short ammount of time. But like i said, i think i trust the Government enough not to. If there was a way they could enforce speed limits without the privacy concerns, that would be great.
Not to be a dick, but it's usually the intelligent that have problems with common sense and looking both ways before crossing. Head in the clouds and all that.
Ok, i give you the point on slamming brakes, because we really don't have any points other than personal experience. However, i'd rather they notice the 20mph sign late and slam on the brakes than notice the kid crossing too late.
Ok, i get where you're coming from now, the current implimentation of speed cameras isn't very good. But you aren't against speed monitoring devices and automated ticketing?
I think speed cameras and red-light cameras are different too. Red-light cameras are the douche ones it sounds like.
My mistake then, i thought you were applauding the killing of a public servant. It's good that the State is listening to the public and acting on it. Even if the speed cameras were to save lives, it's not up to the Gov to decide that.. but to listen to its people's wishes.
If the speeding cameras could record your illegal speed, identify who you are (so they can send you the ticket), and otherwise not be usable as a camera. Would that satisfy you?
I get what you're saying.. but who doesn't carry ID with them? I have had a photo ID since a baby (couldn't carry it obviously) but traveling around, my parents always had our passports. When i "became a big kid" and had a wallet, it held my photo ID and RedCross training cards. Then of course comes the Drivers License, pretty much THE id card for adults. You can't buy booze without it, you can't drive without it, you can be denied purchases at walmart without it (need it for your credit card or 18+ purchases like spraypaint and so on).
You talk about rationality, but it makes sense to me that almost everyone is already carrying some form of ID.
Hundreds of children get out at the same time, they are like you on the way home after work. Some kids are dumb but it's more like unobservant or distracted. For SAFETY reasons the speedlimit is temporarily reduced. Nobody slams on their brakes at the 20mph sign, do they do this when leaving the 70mph highway to the 35mph side road? no, you slow down.
I'd rather inconvenience you for 500meters than have hundreds of kids crossing a potential killzone.

That Dome was beautiful. I seriously doubt it was destroyed by an outside force. It was a typical Sunni attack on Shiites.

Before you go handing out Medals of Honor, checkout what other guys had to do to get theirs. It almost always involved dying.
Great link, thanks.

Sounds like you need to get out of that city man.
If you don't want to buy half a book, don't. There are plenty of other great full length books out there.

Shooting and killing a camera repair man is a bad way of showing displeasure.
My state recently pushed the highway speedlimit to 70mph. You should get yours to do the same.
