I will read as much of it as Congress did when it was passed in 2001, i.e. none. I shouldn't have to read a 200 or however many page bill/law to find out what it is. If it were 10 pages maybe but I doubt Congress ever reads most of any bill, not just that, that are so long.
Yes I know this is a different law than the older one but I doubt it is much shorter. If you can tell me it will take an hour for the layman, who it affects, to read and understand it I will do so. I don't care what judges will say as I generally won't pass a law using that criteria. I will vote on it according to if it is moral.
The fact that laws are in legalese, or I assume so as all I have ever seen are in that way, makes it hard to read. I know I have some trouble with olde English books like Shakespeare or Chaucer.
Unreasonable means you need a warrant. It doesn't mean the gov't can decide that they don't like someone and hence spy on them. If the gov't think you are an republican-fascist nutjob does that mean they can spy on you? This of course would be when the Dems. control the Whitehouse. If a local police thinks a person is a criminal nutjob can they spy on them without due-process? Now we can change all those TV shows and just have police spy on anyone they think is bad. Tap their phones and photograph private places. It makes crime prevention so much easier when you don't need that warrant. You can only spy when a second branch, it's that annoying checks and balances thing, agrees.
Since you obviously have nothing to hide then upload your naked self for all to see. Record every conversation and post it on the internet. That diary that is locked up, well you may not have one, show us. I will lend you a camera, well a criminal can be found that will, and you can broadcast your life to us. Every time you do go to the bathroom go outside and yell it to everyone what just transpired and show your wonderful stuff to the world.
P.S. Why is you email address not on the slashdot header? Did you just forget?
How come internet companies have to stay out but Wal*mat gets slave labor? Are we allowed to buy stuff cheap from there but not allow them to search? Are servers rare? The quote seems to indicate that we need them here and can't spare any. Does China not have the technology in those servers?
It makes no sense. It's like a kitten with a tuba.
Except Congress et al should be up to a higher standard than non-reps. It's alot easier to misuse power if you have it. These just attempt to prevent that, or at least tell regular people what it is.
During the movie at one point they had to calculate something, I forget what, so they all took out slide rules. I couldn't figure out why not an electric calculator until I realized it was the early '70s when they were rare. Or at least rules were faster when needed to be done quickly.
There was a time before Google! You mean some people had to use the internet without searching Google! Isn't the like watching TV by candlelight? Yes I do agree with you though.
No I still think they should have to allow anyone on even if they hate that race. They don't like it, get out of the business. If a KK member, oh oh Godwin's law, sort of, owns a store he should be forced to allow a black Jew in if they but stuff.
This shouldn't apply to public property only. Private places should also not be able to discriminate either.
And no boycotting or "voting with your money" won't work since there are too many people for it to have an effect.
I'll get modded down for this but I don't really care what they do in China. Well I do but I won't feel any more worse about it than I do about China in general. It seems like it should be similar but I think of it as completely different than the US, or other wesertn countries. Basically China can do whatever it wants. Of course those are those who think that you should boycott anything that does business there. That would mean you have to leave the US and stop buying most products. This applies to both Google and MS. Now yes I do think censorship as bad but it isn't the same in other places. I can't really explain it though.
P.S. I noticed that when someone mentions they will be modded down in a post it actually gets modded up. I don't mind the karma loss I just like lots of replies.
They can not be possible all you want but they still work. Of course it still requires the electronics removed but I took the plastic cover off and washed it fine. I also soaked the electronics in plain water to clean it. After drying it works fine as well. I actually did have a problem. I had 2 KB's. The first worked normally but when I tried washing the second case it melted slightly. I think it just fell onto the heater though.
I do want more Model M's though. Do you know of any brick and morter places I can find them. I know Ebay works but I like real life. I'd have to quit the computer without my model M.
The story made me think the MK isn't about what the screen looks like but the order of the buttons pressed. I've played many a game where you can only get through in a with certain order of buttons. Fortunately muscle memory makes it easy.
I wonder if unorthodox methods could beat him. Like a flying creature going in the opposite direction and messing up the muscle memory method(MMM donuts).
There's some straight line algorithm that uses a similar method. It keeps adding the slope value for every x increment and when it overloads it also makes the y position go up one. Or something like that. Bresenham's I believe.
To get on topic I would use the usual "(x).5 to (x+1).499~9 goes to (x+1)" way. For negative, just ignore the sign when doing it, e.g. -1.6 -> -2
I decided to make my opinion of IP to be based on what the US's Constitution says.

The purpose of copyrights and patents is to promote the progress
of science and useful arts USC Article I, Section 8, Clause
8 [house.gov]
It's purpose is not to make inventors rich
Or as a monopoly is granted as long as inventors/artists, that is the one who made it, can continue making more. The removal of copyrights from the '90s minus, maybe the '80s, will not affect the existance of the RIAA and MPAA.
5 years is reasonable now considuring all the technology that exists. Now the question is, why not the death? If they are dead they cannot make any more IP and hence laws of that nature should not be used.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm just wondering, what and where is you current job?
I will read as much of it as Congress did when it was passed in 2001, i.e. none.

That's not quite true.
It is freedom from gov't sponsered religion. (respecting)
It is not freedom from human sponsered religion. (free exercise)
Unreasonable means you need a warrant.
It doesn't mean the gov't can decide that they don't like someone and hence spy on them.

Phase 3: Figure out what's wrong,
That's like the ???.
If you could make it easy to find the problem, you could make millions.
Everytime I see one of those words I always interpret it as the other.
Just think, 1 letter can make all the difference.
No, it is:
We have always been at war with terrorism. I was the one who said a lie that we were at war with communism.
Yes I did get it from 1984, the movie, it probably matches the book though.
I came up with that a while ago.

It's like a kitten with a tuba.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Except it is 81.5%
That does mean 19.5 are in fact correct.
Something to ponder if you want to kill brain cells.
P.S. I always seem to think of the numbers 67% and 83%.
Maybe they aren't all made up on the spot.
It's funnier when you put the "for two trillion" part in.
Not sueing, that's not American!
Offtopic, actually vinegar catches more flies than honey.
Or at least it does with me and a site I went to.
I wonder if honey doesn't work for the same reason it doesn't go bad.
But he wrote that.
Maybe it is false and he just edited it to make himself look good.
Wait that's not right, paradox!!

I didn't even notice that.
Of course I will use the excuse that 'b' and 'p' are similar and you can just turn one upsidedown to get the other. hehe
About your sig:
I know what you are trying to say, making fun if wingates, but would the lack of walls mean privacy doesn't exist as well?
There's some straight line algorithm that uses a similar method.
It keeps adding the slope value for every x increment and when it overloads it also makes the y position go up one.
Or something like that. Bresenham's I believe.

Wet paint. Please do not touch.
I want to know what that does.
Does it just crash it?
Does it erase the hard drive?
What effects on 95 versus XP.
All the disclaimers just want me to do it more.
What if I just try pinging it or something?
Will the link last long?
Can I try it later?
When it was made, 2 cents were worth something. .4 cents.
Now it is only like
Since you used *nix and win* does that mean there is Winnix?
The new campaign, "It's as hard to use as Unix but as insecure as Windows!"
As for the actualy comment I do agree.
It's not as fun though.
