So what you are saying is that some security by obscurity might be a good thing?
I personally think that there are uses for both. Its natural to have both in place. One example is if I am the Coca Cola company, and I wan't to keep the formula a secret. I might go to great lengths in securing the room, in which you can read the formula. You owuld need to know the security, in order to access it in the first place.
If I had $20,000 in cash at my house, in the basement, and not tell anyone that it is there. If I accidentally leave the door open at night, I would assume that the chances of my house being robbed, are no different then any other night.
If I decide to protect the house with some motion lights, would I not also be served better with hidden cameras to take a picture of what-ever it was that triggered the light?
If I use infra-red sensors in a room, should I also use motion detection as well? THat way any attempts at getting past the first will immediately set off the second?
Aren't all these reasonable 'security by obscurity' examples that work ok?
Hey, you can always put them together in a grid style, to make them do wahtever you want. Most of the time when you go to a concert, thats what the large back screens are. If they are the RGB LED, they are individual panels that are about 4'*4' wide. If you can get signal to each of the screens, then you can make the array act any way you want.
OSRAM is a manufacturer of light-bulbs, for the entertainment industry. They are releasing a super-bright LED this summer. Its supposed to be 1000 Lumens, which is the same output as a 50watt quartz light.` If they go into the RGB screens that will push back the plasma displays. Cost is everything.
Its expensive, yes, however many groups like to be the first to be the leading edge, bragging rights.
BS on that one. I live in one of those neighborhoods. I know ho high the crime rate is, however it doesn't d much good for blaring the siren if someones house has been robbed.
A lot of people work shift work, so if a cop is going to get someone that the store picked up, the have to some with siren on? And leave it running? Whats the point? Do you want someone who is the middle of a cocaine deal to hear the cops coming??? Or would you rather sneak up on the guy?
Maybe there is less chance the cop or anyone will get hurt. Thats what the cop thinks about.
Thats all you country seems to want is more monitoring. Aren't most people on this website of the idea that too much monitoring is bad?
Turning on your lights is wholly different then shooting someone. I could see cops protesting this by either just driving around with their lights on, or refusing to do traffic stops.
AS far as monitoring how often they turn on their lights is ridiculous. How often do you see cop pull someone over by flashing them?See when here is too much monitoring there are too many problems, especially with traffic. How many accidents are caused because of the red-light cameras?? People who slam on their brakes at the last second, when normally cruising through at the last second to clear the intersection?? Or like in Toronto, where entering a light on a full green, dosent necessarily ensure that you will make it through. When the camera snaps you, there is no leverage there. Everyone else has seen what has happened.
Isn't that what applecare is for??
I think that is bound to happen on any system.
You would hope less so, however doa is still doa.
There are more because there are more peeps who own them.
Now if they happen to find anything else while they are busting these people,they get the warrent and go from there.
The government wants their cut of everything. I think that it might be, that pot is still illegal. They might be getting more tax money off of that, then if it was legal.
But maybe all the 'fake photos' that are floating around, are simply tricks by bored/stupid peole, that have not much to do. There were huge numbers of fake photos that were being passed around shortly there after.
Its quite possible that the the ones that these conspiracy theorists are getting, are just that, even if they are from 'government sources'
The whole thing about the cell calls, maybe one got through. Maybe the idea of the trying to go after the guys on the plane was true. I saw the videos were they were talking to all the widows, that supposedly also got calls. I don't believe that. I think the idea is simply to give these people something to believe, that their families deaths actually meant something. I think that the plane was shot down by a fighter jet. Thats why there are no black boxes.
The US slapped a tariff on our (Canadian) Softwood lumber exports into your country. Claiming that our Industry is heavily subsided by the government.
These fines have added up to 2 billion dollars. We had gone repeatedly to the WTO about the issue, and they said that we were in the right, and that the US must gives our money back. This has been going over 10 years.
The US knows that it is in the wrong. However they simply won't pay the fine. So forget about anyone else getting any rulings through the WTO.
I think that might be the game itself, I've played call of duty 2, as well as NWN.
Jedi KNight 2. When they crash, sometimes it was more serious then others, occasionally it took a saved game with it. But they always crashed back to the desktop. It could be because most of these games are being played through Rosetta, which is what I gather, that pesky layer so that programs believe that its still aG5, not the slick new dualcores, of which I have. I love it.
and for the GTFO anonymous fan-boi-zealot, i run mac, windows, and linux. Enoughs enough.
I agree, I live near Toronto, we have a 6% federal goods and service, and a 7% provincial tax.
But being the kind of guy I am, I'd rather buy locally if I can. Its hard to look at something on the internet and say 'this box will work exactly that way' when I get it. Besides, if there is a problem its way faster for me to go back to the store, and deal with it there.
Broadband reports already does this. they already have huge number of users, and a way to put in your zip-code, so that you can be compared to others in the area.
They could do a simple database scant that would do the research, as long as everyone opted for it.
But then you still have the whole zip-code penetration issue.
i don't understand how you could get any further, without a huge privacy issue with the users.
Can you gurantee that no-one will hack your severer knowing thousands of addresses are on it??
Not to mention their ip number?
I think that anything over 1meg download is considered 'broadband'.
I would also think that your ip-number would be either a broad-band provider or not.
I think that they are afraid because its such an embarrassingly big amount of money.
I don't know how much they were trying to get, but if they spent more then they were after, then thats a problem.
Especially because it went so far. But I'm sure that they could sue other people to make the money, or even drop out of litigation and get a paper route. I'm sure that someones Mom might be able to cover the court costs, until they can pay her back.

A lot of the time it could be that the cops are sneaking up on someone.
The other time is that unless you really need to, blaring your siren and lights tends to disrupt the civility of the neighborhood.
I am not saying that there are cops that do roll through the stoplight.. but there are other justifications.
Look at Al Capone.
Thats the only reason they got him.
Now if they happen to find anything else while they are busting these people,they get the warrent and go from there.
The government wants their cut of everything. I think that it might be, that pot is still illegal. They might be getting more tax money off of that, then if it was legal.
Thats why they call it a "Royale with cheese".
I realise that this is off topic.

But just call me nutty.
I guess you get to say "motherfu**ing cells, on the motherf**inkg plane!"
Its been a while, however I remember setting this on the newer version of MythDora, which AFAIK is Fedora5.
I was looking into stuff for a linux myth-box, and got reasonably far.
If you are using Linux, you must make sure that you can use HDPARM on your drives.
There are a tons of websites out there that can explain how to get that going.
MS tends to make that happen, while Linux doesn't. I went from stupidly choppy video, to almost real-time, using a relatively older harddrive.
Even on newer drives, you won't see much difference until you can get hdparm on.
You also have to make sure that its in the boot-scripts.
So you there would still be entering someones house, which I still think is break and enter, and mischief, not to mention trespassing.
Especially if you left your drivers license there.
It doesn't matter what kind of lock is on the door.
In your country, its ok for the owner of the house to shoot you. If you're in there.
The above post has actually answered reasonably well.
In that its not subsidized, its not as taxed.
You're country seems to have issues with deciding its economic policy,
Its ok for your local companies to dump their workforce in anyway to save money, but allow us to sell you cheap lumber is beyond the pale.
The US slapped a tariff on our (Canadian) Softwood lumber exports into your country. Claiming that our Industry is heavily subsided by the government.

I guess that would have been either Maury Pauvich, or Springer.

Itunes is great, groceries not so.
Sure, avoid the 6$ on the hundred, however its going to cost ya 30$ to ship it. Plus tax.

Thank-you for clearing that up.
The Plaintiff(the riaa), was found to have no case.
The defendant was allowed to get the legal costs.
I think (but not in the us..so) They both need to show the judge their legal costs.
I think that they are afraid because its such an embarrassingly big amount of money.
I don't know how much they were trying to get, but if they spent more then they were after, then thats a problem.
Especially because it went so far. But I'm sure that they could sue other people to make the money, or even drop out of litigation and get a paper route. I'm sure that someones Mom might be able to cover the court costs, until they can pay her back.
Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Unless of course you let the face of the cd hit the piece of metal. then it gets scratched.
After playing GTA; Vice City, I saw a parking lot full of police cars, and I thought to myself, that would be worth it.
I never did.
Now I broke the ice, everyone else can post there coming-out story.
