If a team member forgets part of their job, it is usually not because s/he is under stress, it is because of lack of training or experience
I think you may be mistaking the type of stress one normally finds in an office to that experienced by soldiers, for example. The former, whilst often debilitating, doesn't compare to the massive overload of information that a human is presented with in combat.
You have to bear in mind that supressing the basic urge to dig a hole and hide is taking a lot of effort, and whilst intensive training will allow the soldier to carry out drills in any manner of circumstances, any attempt to take the load off the indivdiual has to be welcomed.
You're dating yourself there! The exemption you speak of was not an exemption, per se, but the use of a 'hotel' licence, and would only have applied to campus type bars.
Many unions voluntarily went to 'full-on', or at least private member licenses in order to apply for their PEL's. (Public Entertainment Licence) to allow the provision of 'singing and dancing', ancilliary to the consumption of alcohol.
Of course, come november, it's all change again...
The virus? niiiice...
I drool over it everytime my 'turnkey' catalouge lands on my desk. If only I had the mad ski11z to use it....
I'll have to stick to zero input mixing for the time being;)
Sure. let's stick metal detectors, sniffer dogs, mm wave x-ray machines at every point of ingress/egress.
That'll do it.
There comes a point where the inconvinience of security outweighs the benefits. Proceed past that point, and the terrorists have won.
If the security becomes too intense, people will change methods of travel, and the terrorists will change their targets, and all the effort will be for nothing.
The greatest benefits will come from intelligence led policing, coupled with an informed, alert and not unduly scared citizenry.
Yes, they certainly could. They wouldn't.
That's a very bold prediction!
Most of Europe has been taken in completely by the Hobbesian Philosophy which posits that all things good come from a strong central authority, and splitting authority is inherently bad since it leads to chaos. It is through an implicit "social contract" that individuals form societies and collectively surrender authority over their possessions and themselves to the central authority, so that that authority may dispose of both in the best interests of the society. Breaking this "social contract" is tantamount to attacking society. Thus the Europeans will not build their own root servers unless they could destroy the authority of the existing root servers, because this would be a division of authority.
Everyone loves a generalisation. Who mentioned Europe? The thrust for innovation will be coming from asia, driven by the undeniable fact that there's a few more of them then there are of us.
The point is that, as it stands, things are working fine. Should the US start tinkering (verisign, anyone?) then (as I've commented before) the US will find itself sidelined. This needn't become a government thing. Individuals can point to whichever nameserver they choose. Hell, they could even mirror the roots and provide service to anyone they like. ISP's can configure their nameservers anyway they like. Companies will go wherever their customers are, and if they're on the internet that doesn't include the North American Intranet, then so be it.
Just as tcp/ip was designed to route around a nuclear strike, the same principle can be applied when the poltics break the technology.
The 'Internet' is a network of networks, and exists only because of the peering and routing agreements of those who own the networks.
Therefore, to say the internet is 'owned' by anyone is a fallacy. Before people start getting jingoistic, no one country has a monopoly on the internet, just portions thereof. And since the protocols are open, it's not unreasonable to expect that if the US did start monkeying around with the DNS servers, then they would find their routes disappearing, leaving them with their very own intranet.
Corporate interests being what they are, I doubt it would happen.
Power Conditioners are for the most part common place in any professional stereo system. Anytime you go to a concert I can almost guarantee that they're using a power conditioner
Not so sure about that... FoH/Mons boards'll have a honking great switch mode PSU, Gates/comps/fx racks probably have the furman conditioners, but it's generally there so that when you're on a generator nothing goes pop when theres a voltage drop/peak (you know, when the lampy flashes every single parcan, at once).
The amps'll have whatever's built on board. I've yet to see a mains distro that doesn't have anything more than RCD's & MCB's.
IMHO, the quality of mains, at least in the UK, is severly underated, espcially when you're talking about the large 3 phase affairs you get in most venues.

Those look pretty similar to me! Given that the article submission is word-for-word exactly from the article itself, it's fair to assume that the submitter, Killer Instinct, is the same person as the author of the article, Robert Roy Britt. How else could the same text be attributed to two supposedly different people?
Plagarism?
Or was that a rhetorical question... But honestly, you must be new here- it happens all the time!
Well, they can go after him as much as they like- the genie's well and truely out of the bottle.
As for the rest of us, as interesting as the supreme court ruling is, it has (technically) no impact outside of US borders. In fact, I doubt it'll have much impact inside the US- not until the RIAA et al actually manage to get somebody to court and actually get a court to agree with them...
Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter...

2) The professional translators do a better job 90% of the time compared to idiots who translate for fansubs. Rarely do Japanese assist with fansub translations, and often the translators tend not to speak English as a first language.
Nevermind that licensors get the ACTUAL TYPED SCRIPTS TO THE SHOWS and can make queries back to the companies and the original WRITERS if need be.
Bzzt. Gonna disagree with you there- I've got inuyasha episodes on both licensed DVD's and fan-subs. Guess which comes out better?
That's right, the fan subs. The fan subs may not be script perfect (not convinced the licensed ones are either, but that's by the by) but the point the OP makes is valid. The fan-subs take pride in getting the cutural idioms across in the best possible way. The difference between them and the studio translator monkey? Pride in a good job well done. Same as those open source coders, I guess.
Fan-subbers also give us translations for signs, interesting notes and stuff that the studio doesn't give a toss about. If I could buy the DVD's for Bleach, I would. I'd also download the fan-subs.
Around the same time I also fell into a computer that used bubble memory. It was a GRiD Compass. I remember being amazed that I could unplug it and it would remember my word processing documents for months and months with no power. Back then, this was a big deal.
which, in my opinion looks how laptops should look;)

They wouldn't. The rest of the world would just point at a different set of root servers. It's an open protocol, remember?
