I just only read the blurb from the link above...but it said something about needing to register an account with Splashtop in order to use this...
Does this mean you somehow have to run your connections through their servers.....basically giving them access to your traffic while running this remote connectivity software?
Or those people who often buy unpasteurized milk on the black market. Because they claim it tastes better and has nutrition. Does the difference in taste and a minor improvement in nutrition outweigh the serious illnesses you can get from it?
It would be nice if we, as grown adults had the CHOICE on whether we wanted to buy and consume this legally...eh?
I'd love to have access to some cheese products made from unpasteurized milk....like they have in Europe.
...my having an eye operation that cured my lifelong nearsightedness and my age related farsightedness...
Lasix?
How bad nearsighted? Much astigmatism?
Are you able to see without reading glasses with the age related farsightedness?
Looking into it myself, but wondering if it is worth it to only end up wearing thinner glasses or having to still reach for readers when I want to look at something close up...
I'm guessing you've never had the means to have something of this calibre.
My Porsche 911 Turbo, had a bass note on it, that would easily set off car alarms when I drove by..that had them set too sensitively. That car was a thing of beauty and fun....sure, it got a whole 10mpg on a good day...but was worth every penny of gas I put through it before it died in Katrina....RIP.
Hardly a lower class hick ride....I'd hardly call a '69 camaro a lower class hick car....
It sounds like you might just be a bit jealous, and have never had anything nicer or more special than a Camry or other 'family truckster'....?
That's just cars...every owned a nice motorcycle (and no, a Vespa doesn't count)...?
Geez...half the fun of seeing a race, or driving a race car or a motorcycle is the freakin' noise it makes.
A well tuned sports car engine is a thing of beauty...hell, even the sound of an old 70's muscle car can bring a feeling of lust into your chest.
And I gotta say, the day they turn motorcycles electric...is the day a lot of people may give them up.
The roar and rumble of the engine between your legs is part of that feeling of freedom when you hit the open road.
I don't think an electric engine, with a mp3 player and an external speaker system will generate that same type of emotional enthusiasm....it may perform in a superior manner, but it just want "feel" the same....

Just Say No To College

I agree a GREAT deal with what you said....but it mostly applies to people that have a little resume experience under their belt already.
If you're going to work to start your own business, no, you don't need a college degree.
However, for most "real" jobs, starting out....especially in tech, but most any field I know of, if you don't have at least a bachelors degree in something, your resume won't even be evaluated. Sad but true.
Today, the bachelors resume is what a few decades ago, a HS diploma was....it is the first weed out requirement for most any job.
There are exceptions to the rule, but I posit in the real world out there today, very few exceptions. A college degree and contacts are your best two weapons to get your foot in the door.
But once in that interview....and going foward with the job, I can tell you that often great people skills will put you ahead of people that are strictly tech skills.
You still see the stereotype of tech types being somewhat introverted and uncomfortable even holding non-formal conversations with their co-workers and bosses. If you have a good personality, gift of gab, and enough intelligence to know most of what your doing, that will take you a LONG way in your professional career.
Then they should have voted for politicians better at negotiating contracts, and got what they deserved. The taxpayers are only paying for what was promised by their elected representatives. If there's a problem, the taxpayers need to reexamine their choices for representation.
Unfortunately, the elected politicians have very little power and leeway to do this, because of the powerful state and federal workers' UNIONS.
It is one reason we should probably not allow unions for public workers. It is ok for them to exist for private workers....(I don't like them but hey its a free country).
The problem is, they take out exactly what you are looking for with regard to being able to regulate what our tax dollars are paying for, and the economy has to take that into account. Politicians are not free to negotiate these things. The contracts should be shorter, maybe year to year, and if the govt can't pay, well, the pay and retirement should reflect that to a much greater extent than it does now.
For instance, in another post, I said sure, we have to honor what we've promised to past and current workers. But for God's sake, why have we not IMMEDIATELY stopped offering these benefits to new-hires? We know we can't afford it going forward, so why can our elected officials not halt this immediately?
Well, I have to say, that whether you are govt or civilian.....a contract is a contract.
And, somehow....they have to be honored, I mean, people worked their whole lives and are dependent on that as their means of retirement.
That being said, it is ludicrous to not IMMEDIATELY stop offering this to new-hires. I mean, we obviously can't afford for this to carry on.
I can't understand why starting say, today, that this type of deal that states and the feds can no longer afford be stopped, halted immediately for new hires. Sure, you honor your contracts with those till now, but WTF are we not stopping said practice immediately going forward?
Really? Geez...I've downsized with moves post Katrina, but I've easily had 20 or more computers in my house on various projects...resurrecting some older servers I bought on the cheap, laptops in every room (being replaced in some cases with tablets), mac workstations, freeNAS set up, an old desktop for learning and running IPtables to run from ISP into an old cisco switch I bought...etc.
You can easily have a lot of projects going on if you like getting your geek on with hardware that is often picked up readily these days.
I'll admit, now that I'm working more with VM's...the actual number of physical boxes is likely to go down, but computers are cheap, and having a lot of them like this isn't that big a deal for some of us out there.
Hell, i didn't even mention the ones for the MAME boxes, mythtv....etc...
You suggest pumping 30 terabytes of data per day through your neighbors wifi?
Merely a side benefit after honing your metasploit, wireshark and Backtrack skills...I mean, everyone gets bored just doing those on your own network, don't right?
Once you're in, you might as well have a bit of fun...
You do realize that previously the deniers argued that it absolutely *wasn't* happening. Now that we've proven it *is* happening they are on to, "Well ok, but it's not us that's causing it".
Then, there's some of us that just don't care frankly.
I mean, this isn't likely to affect my life or lifestyle in any manner....and I'll be LONG dead and in the ground before any of this comes to pass, so, what do I care?
I'll be gone and dead so long, it isn't like anyone will even remember my name to curse it at the time...
I like the Jim Morrison Quote:"I'm gonna get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. "
I get the frustration of racism, but want to point out that it's not logically possible to have "reverse racism". A reverse racism would actually mean not racist.. think about it (I understand the commonality of the term, however being common does not make it correct.). Also helps if you provide citations with your quotes just to make sure people have references and don't assume you are trolling.
Well, while you're technically correct, the terms are there out of today's perceptions, and the meanings are understood as crystal clear, at least by most of us in the US.
Racist...in general means White attitudes towards Blacks or other less Caucasian skin tones. You don't generally hear that Blacks can be racist or act in a racist manner against Whites...it just isn't in the popular vernacular. So, the reverse-racism or reverse-discrimination are understood to mean anti-white attitudes from blacks....for the most part.
From the article I read..I keep asking myself...what torture are they talking about??
They mostly all (from the article) sounded uncomfortable...but torture?
The cells being hot, non AC in Iraq...might be the closest to torture...but I'm guessing NO prisons are air conditioned places like in the US. Hell, likely as not, I'm picturing the temperatures being about the same as what the ground troops experience daily while on patrol, but in the cell...at least it is in the shade?
But the rest of it....well, he did say he was suicidal, and when you're on suicide watch...they make sure you don't have things to kill yourself with, and likely trying to keep him out of general population where other prisoners might try to harm him due to his charges?
The guy joked about killing himself which what small amount of things he had (clothing, etc)...you don't expect them to take those away after hearing that?
I mean, that's on the level of joking about a bomb at the TSA stop at the airport....seriously....?
Like I said, from the CNN article...while unpleasant, it sound FAR from torture...
Yes, but so far, Obama has beat them all in terms of increasing the debt in only 4 years....gonna be interesting to see him set the bar even HIGHER in the next four....
But I guess YOU ARE saying, that end the end, it is better for the unions to dig in their heels, and leave the company no choice but to close, and therefore put all those union workers out on the street with no job now.....?
If I'm missing the logic on this last one...please, tell me where?
Simply..are these unemployed workers now, better off than they were when they had jobs before the union put the nail in Hostess' coffin?
WHY THE FUCK SHOULD THE UNIONS GIVE IN IF THE MANAGEMENT ISN'T GOING TO HELP OUT EITHER? WHY THE FUCK SHOULD THE BURDEN BE COMPLETELY ON THE WORKERS?
But again, is the answer to the question, it is better to cause the company to close, and LOSE all jobs for the unions workers?
What exactly is the union going to do for those out of work workers? Certainly they aren't going to start paying the salary the workers are now missing due to being out of a job, due to the union basically closing the company.....?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, yes, I assumed that...that's the only way I'd want to generally be using this...?
Just watched the video...looks like they charge you by the minute for this too?
No thanks...more secure and free methods out there is seems...
Does this mean you somehow have to run your connections through their servers.....basically giving them access to your traffic while running this remote connectivity software?
Sounds like a bad idea to me if this is so....?
It would be nice if we, as grown adults had the CHOICE on whether we wanted to buy and consume this legally...eh?
I'd love to have access to some cheese products made from unpasteurized milk....like they have in Europe.

Kinda saying they'll be on par with the private sector, eh?
And yet....we keep on working under those conditions.....why should they be any different?
Certainly no many of the general citizenry would scream or complain if the public worker took a hit?
Where do you get the idea that the general public supports govt workers getting all this?
Unfortunately, the elected politicians have very little power and leeway to do this, because of the powerful state and federal workers' UNIONS.
It is one reason we should probably not allow unions for public workers. It is ok for them to exist for private workers....(I don't like them but hey its a free country).

I thought we had the drinking level game cornered down here in New Orleans....
Well, but for the past few decades with the over extention of the federal power due to the bastardization of the interstate trade clause....you could.
Constitutionally, the majority of the powers in the US IS supposed to reside with the states and not the federal govt.
Sweet!!!
You mean we'd get an immediate price drop for the usual $1.25+ it costs in the machines nowdays?!?!
Well, I don't have any kids that I know of...so, hoping that means no grand kids that I'll ever know of....
Yet another good reason to not join Facebook, not being found has its merits.
