Good job describing a problem that has been fixed since SP1 on XP and out of box on Windows 2003 Server. Something tells me if it was a recent server, it would have shipped with Windows XP SP2 like all new equipment I've seen in the past year. Microsoft has it's faults but your just spreading FUD about a long fixed issue.
Problem here is IT guy doing the install. In most cases, there is a little option to get OEM OS CDs without the stupid restore stuff. Dell offers the option on almost all their hardware (and you can generally call them and ask for it on your order if you don't see as an option)
Microsoft has it's fault and licensing scheme is definitely one. However, if he was a consultant, part of his job is dealing with it. I know I do on my job.
I can't find the webpage that shows it but violent crime per 100,000 has been UK > US lately.
Almost all our gun crime in US is drug dealers and gang bangers shooting each other. Rarely does just random innocent person get shot. When it happens, media makes it out like random hooligans are running around with AKs.
I'm convinced your "chav" problem is reached it's boiling point because average citizen can't do anything about it. Self Defense (even without guns) is forbidden and only answer seems to be "call the police" which is obviously not working. We have similar subcultures here in the US but I've never heard of them engaging of such things as happy slapping. Randomly attacking people? Here in US in certain states, that's a good way to end up face full of pepper spray or depending on severity of the attack, a bullet hole or two. Police will end up hauling chav away for starting it in the first place.
He didn't post the entire law. Most laws that forbid shooting within structures or road or whatever generally have exception clause. From my local county, they forbid shooting within 100 feet on any structure, public road or on someone property without express permission of the owner. However, they spell out the following exceptions to the rules:
(1) The discharge of guns on any target, trap or skeet range or hunting preserve lawfully existing upon the date of adoption of this article or hereafter established in compliance with all other provisions of this Code or other county ordinances or state law; (2) The discharge of guns on any target or rifle established and operated by the police or law enforcement department; (3) The discharge of guns in a private basement or cellar target range; (4) The discharge of guns in defense of one's life or to kill any dangerous or destructive wild animal; (5) The discharge of guns by any duly authorized peace officer or law enforcement official acting in the proper performance of his duties; (6) The discharge of blank cartridges in theatrical performances, sporting events, or the firing of salutes at military funerals or other military affairs; (7) The discharge of legal firearms while hunting fowl, in the Potomac River or any tributary stream thereof; provided that in the Dumfries/Triangle prohibited area no such discharge shall be permitted in that portion of Quantico Creek which is included within the prohibited area; (8) The discharge of firearms by the owner, or any member of his immediate family, or any permittee of the owner, on one or more contiguous tracts of land, located within the prohibited area, having total area of five acres or more; and (9) The discharge of firearms for the killing of deer pursuant to Code of Virginia, 29-529, provided that the discharge occurs on a parcel of land that is at least five acres in area, and which is zoned for agricultural use.
Most laws regarding firearms allow you to fire in self defense.
Gun thing is uniquely American I agree and people own weapons for different reasons. I for self defense and because they are fun to shoot safely.
Ignoring the comment below about MS being possible liers, yes, they now don't completely start up the network stack without turning on the firewall. In most cases, it's still better to use a hardware firewall then rely on software to keep you safe.
Right, because the founding fathers never thought that technology would improve. First Amendment only applies to old time printing press? TV and such isn't covered because it reach millions of people? What BS did you pull that from?
I'll take freedom of Speech over some nanny government protecting me and restricting my freedom in the name of safety. Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Second Amendment, if you read the Federalist papers, protects citizens right to own weapons issued to standard infantry person. Howitizers and Nukes are not under issued to standard infantry person.
Sure, they are losing out on a potential business market if they do. Capitalism will deal with most situations. If you don't serve Asians, depending on your community, it will kill you or it won't affect you. I'm not even going into the situations that will develop from such a policy with media or employees refusing to work there, quitting and so on. Sometimes, the downside of living in "free" society is you must put up with people who offend you or refuse to cater to you.
Instead of worrying about 911, here's a simple solution, next time you upgrade cells phones, just keep the old one lying around for 911. Remember, cell phones can always dial 911 if they are connected to a tower. I have a nextel phone with no SIM card that I keep plugged and turned on for that reason. If you have spotty cell phone coverage where you live, this solution might not work for you but for many people, it's a good alternate.
I have Teliax which allows me to use Asterisk at home for my phone service. I use Linksys PAP2-NA for hooking POTS phones in to the Asterisk solution and I just set QOS for Asterisk box on the linksys router to very high and have zero problems.
Most of the shooting in GTA is horribly unrealistic not to mention you don't even have to do mouse AIM thing you do in FPSs. Also, to use a gun effectively requires fair amount of training that most video games and even movies do not provide.
I'm not advcating the overthrow of the US government but look where all the tanks, planes and missiles is getting us in Iraq. Never underestimate the power of guerrila tactics.
They don't even need to do this with internet bills, it works with alot of bills. See "Assault Weapon ban" (which simply targeted weapons based on appearance, not function) or "Voting rights act" which everyone got into arms over because they though if it wasn't renewed, blacks lost the right to vote which was untrue, it simply released several southern states from federal requirements which in most peoples opinions are no longer required.
I believe they have 1.95 service where you keep email only. Get your own domain, start forwarding your earthlink email. Keep the earthlink email for a year and then shut it off.
They are not suing DVDBarn and Intelliflix because they figure as soon as they get Blockbuster the other small time companies will fold as soon as Netflix lawyers look at them wrong.
Most Corporate networks will run their own DNS servers and cache results so the increase in traffic will happen but it won't be the disaster the article is predicting. DNS packets are pretty small.
That simply trashes the links to it. The core is still there and it can still be launched by running iexplore from Start Menu.
However, original article writer is an idiot for leaving ports 135-139 TCP/UDP and 445 TCP/UDP exposed to internet. Firewall that stuff off with either hardware firewall in front of it or IPSec. I ran for 3 days after that virus went live and got away with it because IPSec stopped all of it.
No it only takes 2 at Interlink facility while you throw yourself at purple spandex wearers who due to their weapons simply farm you and you finally win not due to combat skill but simply, the base runs out of power. Wow, exciting.
Generally in US at least, Statutory rape generally does not apply if two people are with 3 years of each other in age. Statutory rape laws protect 15 year old from a 23 year old.
There are many services out there beside vonage. Heck, for 25 a month I'm using a company that lets me bring my own device (Asterisk) so I can control my own phone experience.
That's why so many police forces use Glocks, because you just never know then they will go off. I've seen glocks tossed across the room with blanks in them that have never gone off. Glocks will not fire unless the trigger is pulled. Glocks have 3 safeties. http://www.glock.com/_safe_action_.htm
Actually locking up a gun makes it's useless for self defense since it's not readily available. Trigger locks are the worst idea ever, first rule of gun safety, don't touch that trigger unless your ready to fire. Gun Safes are a much better idea.
This problem was solved about 75 years ago by something different. It was called Gun Safety Education. Teach little kids not to touch them, teenagers to respect them and adults not to be stupid with them. Mommy Legistators decide instead of education, we were going to try mechnical devices. Actually, accidental gun deaths are at all time low now and most of that is attributed to education by both NRA and other anti-gun groups
This patent is more likely just trying to get in early and cash in on "smart gun" stuff that is sweeping some states. NJ is a prime example, within 2 years of "smart guns" being on the market, all new guns sold must be equipped with technology, for some reason, cops asked to be exempt, I wonder why that was.
I would never trust a gun that required any more authencation besides trigger being pulled to fire.
Many college policies on gay discrimination are not binding beyond being able to internally take care of the matter. Also, many states legistators reserve the right to determine policy about discrimination for state institutions so many of these policies are on shaky ground at best. If federal government gives you money, they get some say in how you manage your organization. Courts might rule in favor of universities being able to control money flow to students in the terms of revoking scholarships but not in banning them from teams because of their facebook association. Besides, the whole military recruiters on campus is a sign that certain professors are extremely out of touch with society.
