That's okay. Jail needs to be for violent criminals; not idiots like this.
A fitting punishment would be to fire him and deny him any retirement benefits that he would have received. Seize all his assets to repay the citizens of Alaska for the pain and suffering he caused them. Then, turn his ass out on the street. Let him live on welfare/medicare/medicaide until he dies...
DST standardizes the times that businesses change their hours.
If you left it to every owner to change operating hours, you'd have big problems. Some stores would change; some wouldn't. Some would change early; some late.
A lot of people have a schedule and need to complete tasks inside a specific set of hours. i.e., I hit the bank at 8:30am and then get to work at 9am. If my company changed hours and the bank didn't, I'd not be able to hit the bank in the morning. I'd have to shuffle my schedule all around to make up for it.
Multiply this by 200,000,000 people in the US, and you start to get a sense of the problem.
Right now, I live in Japan; no DST. Companies don't change their hours either. The result? The sun comes up at about 4am in the summer and still goes down by 8pm at night. No long summer nights to enjoy a BBQ in the back yard. It kinda makes me miss DST.
It's been a while since I've done this. I think we had a wave generator producing a 2600hz signal at -20dbm. Then, in the O-Scope, we set it to some strange display mode. Instead of displaying the waveform, it would display a wavering oval.
Sorry for the lack of details; it's been 10 years since I tried...
I rarely use google to find videos. First off, then index sites like stupidvids.cn that are hosted on 56k dialup accounts routed through bangladesh.
I go to youtube because it's a known variable. They have just about everything and it's usually faster than my DSL. If I can't find it there, I'll use google as a fallback.
I guess Google Docs was too difficult? Have these guys never heard of CMS apps like Wordpress or the like?
Shit! Just have them install SlashCode and be done with it. Then, citizens could even comment on legislation. The legislators could sort-by-highest-rating and filter out "funny" and "off-topic" and even get some insight into what the citizens think of the proposed bills.
Leave it to the US Government to re-invent the wheel. And give the fucking thing corners as an added bonus.
Couldn't a rotating prism be used to turn this into a miltipoint link? Sure, you'd lose some bandwidth and you'd still need LOS. But you could easily queue and time packet transmission in time with the rotation. Kinda like old airplanes shooting bullets through the blades.
What would the process be for having them prosecuted for perjury?
I assume you would have to file charges at a police station in their local area. Then, you'd probably have to get the DA there to actually press the case. Finally, you'd have to have a judge willing to apply pretty harsh sentencing.
It might actually be fun to have 400+ people roll up in Podunk Police Station and all file criminal reports against these people.
It would also probably be a good idea to send a letter to their local BAR association and advise then that their people are perjuring themselves while slandering innocent people.
PC games also don't have rentals. I know a lot of people who rent games for 360 and Wii.
PC gamers also tend not to let people borrow copies of games. I know a lot of Wii gamers that share pretty openly. In my community, there is even an unofficial co-op for the Wii. I buy one game and my neighbor gets another. After a weekend, we switch.
I use Steam and Impulse and have bought games through both systems. GalCiv2 has a limit on how many times you can install a game. The advertise that you can install it on multiple machines. I installed it on two computers at home, a laptop, and another machine at work. I ended up formatting and re-installing the laptop and Impulse said I had used up all my install codes.
I opened a support ticket and it took about 30 hours for Stardock to review the ticket and add more install codes to my account.
This woman may have been the catalyst, but the potential for suicide was already there. Should society as a whole walk around on eggshells to avoid whatever trigger will cause the already mentally unstable to go over the edge?
Let's say you honk your horn and some guy flips out and shoots himself. Now, in most places, honking your horn is illegal unless you are alerting someone to danger. So, should you then be charged to the full extent of the law?
This case is complicated and The State is trying everything to get anything to stick to this lady. Everyone wants her in jail and it's just a matter of time before they find something. Hell, at this point, they should just drop a dime bag on ger porch and send her up the river for that...
99% of the people won't give a shit. First off, they really don't have anything that they actually give a shit about on their PCs. Sure, they may surf porn and probably have all their passwords saved. Some may even have cookies with tokens to allow one-click purchases.
But they don't really care if the government sees all that. Maybe in your mind they should; but they just plain don't.
The people who actually give a shit will leave a few documents on their desktop. Maybe a few porn images downloaded from TheHun. Nothing too bad.
On a portable hard drive stashed in their luggage, they'll have TrueCrupt and an encrypted volume on a portable hard drive. If you are super-paranoid, you'll have a Virtual Machine disk image on there as well.
As for the hardware, traveling with an expensive book is always a risk. Check with your homeowner's insurance and see if you can get a laptop covered for a few extra bucks. You'll also see companies spring up to meet insurance requirements. They'll sell insurance right in the airport. Probably a retired DHS guy will head the company.
Jailbreak and install SSHD. From there, ise the iPhone and your laptop to create an ad-hoc wireless network. Now, use PuTTY to create a tunnel to the SSHD running in the iPhone.
The iPhone will then act as a gateway. Wireless tethering FTW.
If you let them post it on the monitor, no reason you can't make a list of 50 passwords. As for marking, add it to the network use policy that it's grounds for termination and then do a random walkaround.
When it comes to employees, especially non-technical ones, the best bet is to generate a password for them. Have the password printed on a laminated card along with 15 other random passwords. Give this to employee and tell them to (very good) keep it in their wallet or (less good) even post it on a monitor.
Only they know which of 15 passwords it is. If they lose their wallet tell them to call you right after they call the DMV and their CC company.
Check the logs for bad password attempts and then call the user to see if they actually did that. If they didn't, then someone else is trying with their passwords.
Or, move into the 21st century and start using SmartCard logins. They need a card and a PIN in most cases, so just losing the card is no biggie.
Safari on the iPhone lacks "open in new tab" and it also forces a reload when you switch back to a tab. So no loading a tab in the background and switching to it once it's loaded. Also, no loading at home on WiFi and reading on the road.
Most places that don't allow cameras also don't allow cell phones. Sure, it may just be a blanket policy to exclude cameras, but trying to argue that point with a minimum-wage, cop-wanna-be is like pissing up a rope.

It was also available on Steam. Other than the Steam platform, no other DRM was included.

Anyone who runs is a Taliban. Anyone standing still is a well-disciplined Taliban.
Women and children are easy to shoot. Just don't lead them so much.
One guy filing a claim == nothing gets done.
But if you and several hundred buddies show up all at once, with the press, the police will have to take action.

If you really want to exercise that joystick, take a look at Falcon: Allied Force.
Cheap game. No DRM of any kind. No CD needed to play. Huge online community.
Mineral oil works just as well and isn't so expensive.
It will "creep" up cables though.
Also, if you take all the standard fans and immerse them in oil, the current draw goes through the roof and may burn out the motors.

How can a candidate running on a base of "change" justify picking a VP who has been in DC for 30+ years?
The only thing "changing" in January is the position DC is fucking me in...

A large portion of NASA's overhead does not come from axillary systems, it comes from managers and politicians.
You need to get a prominent politicial talking head to come out and admit that he *hates* criminals. Then, prosicute him.

This sounds like an excellent way to get out of an ATT contract without early cancellation fees.
Buy an iPhone for $300; get ATT contract. Tether the iPhone to your laptop and install a fresh copy of WoW.
They drop you and you don't have to pay for the rest of the contract.
