  1. Re:Oh, the potential on New Asimov Movies Coming · · Score: 1

    30 hours would require a few intermissions.

  2. What is this "would" you speak of? on Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Getting such things past the pointy heads is just good fun. Getting the doomsday code past them is a riot.

    Not good enough.

    I want the negative results especially to mark a site as spam. I will make great use of this. I've not tried it yet but will and hope I can blanket block domains.

    I'm all for using them as radiation shielding. I wanna see their eyes glow from Cherenkov radiation.

    It's dense so it's mass makes it a problem getting it out of the gravity well and whenever you have to change it's speed or direction in space it eats energy. Just pick up a tennis ball and swing it around then do it with a cannon ball.

    Water, boron gas, aluminum, etc you tailor it like Chobham armor in layers and with other tricks. You don't really want lead because of the density it doesn't matter much in space unless you're aiming 60 kilotons of it at DC.

    We WILL become more green all this 'waste' is becoming the new gold. Help develop efficient technologies to evacuate landfills of the wealth in them and be the next Bill Grates.

    Yea I posted on the other one that if they'd just throw more ducks and plastic and crap in there'd be no evaporation and no glowbull worming.

  12. Re:shouldn't be lagel on The Trap Set By the FBI For Half Life 2 Hacker · · Score: 1

    It can be argued that state citizenship is a fantasy and/or died with the 14th amendment. As best I can tell by light reading culturally the pre-civil war citizen saw themselves as state citizens. There may be a good historical legal review of this not written by a drooping conspiriakii nut but I'm not well versed in historical legal research. If anyone has such a document I can have great fun with it by baiting the conspiriakii nuts. ;)

    You can be tried and convicted of a Federal crime and then tried and convicted of a local State crime in the US and the supreme court says that is OK. They are two different sovereign jurisdictions but just try and claim State and not Federal citizenship and not pay taxes.

    The supct is pushing to get it's ass handed to it. December 1 is not far away.

    Did she really do it or did she just stick it to her man?

    I may be misinformed but in the US, goverment contracts are public except in very narrow situations such as classified military projects and intelligence agencies.

    I'm waiting for someone to shoot something at the moon that colors it with some product or countries colors.

    Will they get a fee for each copy? Will there be a Donor Association to enforce their copyright? If you don't pay they hack the organ out?

  19. Re:Disconnect on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 1

    They do for the classified stuff unless it goes through the proper encryption. Tempest is supposed to protect that portion as well. The unclassified side may be protected but since the AF *lost* to the OMG *ARMY* in a simulated computer warfare game my confidence in them is low.

  21. Re:What is a good industrial document management on Researcher Warns of "Digital Dark Age" · · Score: 1

    I suppose "Content management system" is what I mean. I need something on the front end for idiots that would feed them the current revision of a wide assortment of file types. It would be nice if the back end had revisions so I could perform the same task as subversion. I may end up with a content management system and subversion or something similar. Unfortunately saying "Linux" around these people will get you a "Bless you".

    ...industrial document management system that is GNU or BSD?

    I have binary only test programs for a PLC, I have test procedures, I have C source code, I have binaries, I have customer manuals and I need to manage them better.

    In Indiana I can go run plates for $5 dollars each in person. For a $50 dollar fee I can run as many as I want for $4 dollars.
    In Oregon you can buy a CD with every Oregon driver on it. Someone put it on the internet and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. The phone company in real time can and does sell off everyone's name, address and phone number.

    And on and on....

    It may be illegal to use that particular system in Ahia but I'm curious if there is a legal way to do it?

  25. Re:Hey, we could use that in the U.S. too on New Gadget Blocks 'Spam' Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    Panasonic had something similar. It was pre-caller ID I think. It could have up to 4 passwords. If you didn't have a password it would ask you to leave a message or just terminate the call.

    I used a program with a modem to do the same thing. If there was no caller id, it would just hold the line and an elisa type of recording would play which would gag the market bot or telemarketer. If they had a password they'd get past all that.
