I think you'll find it quite impossible to do anything in the UK without being near a camera. Destroying the cameras would be a quite futile endeavor because they have you heavily outnumbered.
Is that really an efficient use of resources? I mean, it seems like a waste of money to buy and maintain that many cameras. ~(US resident)
While it is slightly diffferent:
I was an academic researcher working for a large engineering firm where the top level work is classified and they don't want anyone connecting the dots with what you are publishing and the work they are actually trying to do. So while I was free to publish my research, I was not allowed to attached the name of the Company to any of the papers.
all the issues collapse down to a one dimensional continuum and
I liked the game theory except the above point. For every issue(feature) you increase the dimensionality unless you provide a way to collapse it. So that assumption is a bit excessive with out further explaination. There still would be a "middle", but it is not as simple, and hard to visualize after the 4th dimension (wlog).
I must've missed the part where he specified how long one should do community service and at what precise point one should cash in. How is this any different than the Free Software business model?
You mean, other than taking the often enormous risk of financing that multi-million dollar movie in the first place? The same idea is true for patents on pharmaceuticals. Even more so, for every drug that does well, there are more that failed miserably. And there is no secret recipe to create the next "great drug." They are mostly discovered by accident.
While I think that is one of the most important amendments, just because it is not constitutionally forbidden, doesn't mean it is a constitutional right.
you can assume every employer will do this in the name of productivity/competitiveness/because they can. All that monitoring costs money and manpower. It would be wasteful to spend that kind of $$effort unless you could prove that it helped the company be more profitable.
If current military used, field deplyable compact IR cameras+displays are ~7,000USD I don't think the ease of using a green phosphor screen is a consideration.
I'm having a hard time understanding how green intensities are the easiest to detect, but hues the hardest. Perhaps you understand the eye better than I do. If so, please explain.
Ohhh, now I get it. I hope you don't mind if I post this: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2665/index.htm To save some time for those of us who have not memorized unicode yet. At least you aren't being ethnocentric and making ascii only jokes.
The Electrical Engineer in me cringes every time I here the term "bandwidth" used in place of "data rate."
Still, >200Kbs is the answer to your question.
"The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access. The FCC defines broadband service as data transmission speeds exceeding 200 kilobits per second (Kbps), or 200,000 bits per second, in at least one direction: downstream (from the Internet to the userâ(TM)s computer) or upstream (from the userâ(TM)s computer to the Internet)." http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/broadband.html
I'm looking to rearrange my life over the next year or so, and it would be cool to have a few pointers. I smell an "ask slashdot", and bonus points because people wouldn't have to preface everything IANAL.
I have also read that we can detect green hues better than any other color. An engineer employed by the army told me this is one of the reasons that the pseudo-coloring is green for night-vision (IR detectors).
So I don't know. But no one has replied yet so this is my guess:
The easiest case is that someone other than you (because of course you know what you are doing) gets compromised by email virus/fake porn dialer/free game and then you are finished because if you can execute code on the inside of the NAT then game over. Also if the mirror you download your firefox update from is hacked, then you just ran a hacked binary.
Other common exploits like java script would also negate the nat. For common people, these script might first try and hack the nat from the inside using the default passwords. If it is compromised then again, Game over.
Once I understood how arp poisening, udp hole punching, and nat static and dynamic portforwarding work, I think that the Router itself cannot be hacked unless it has an inherent security flaw. But most people use linksys/belkin, and there are definitely people who don't update the firmware that is a small but real possibility.
The other method assumes that you have actual computer users behind your NAT that make connections to the outside world. Any connection going out can be abused to send packets in. So if you are like me and have a static port forward to get your apache to work even though its on port 800, then apache can clearly be hacked. But any outgoing connection can be abused, so you basically have to trust that EVERY program connecting to the internet will behave perfectly.
There are really too many ways to accidentally run compromised code in user space to assume that your entire network behind a NAT is protected any more than a public ip from scanning.
I understand how that can happen, but I don't see how both anti-spyware/norton antivirus would be better than the latest security updates to firefox in that situation.
If someone has found cutting edge exploits, you don't think they could write a program that antivirus wouldn't detect?
Really, Internet browsers will need to be completely sandboxed before that level of security is reached. Do you run your browser in vmware player?
It is ignorant to use Distrowatch as a distribution rating system. It rates the number of visits to distowatch's page, which really only describes the ignorance of the people who use or are interested in that distro. As in, if you really knew what you were doing, would you goto distrowatch?!
From Distrowatch.com "The Page Hit Ranking statistics have attracted plenty of attention and feedback. Originally, each distribution-specific page was pure HTML with a third-party counter at the bottom to monitor interest of visitors. Later the pages were transformed into plain text files with PHP generating all the HTML code, but the original counter remained unchanged. In May 2004 the site switched from publicly viewable third-party counters to internal counters. This was prompted by a continuous abuse of the counters by a handful of undisciplined individuals who had confused DistroWatch with a voting station. The counters are no longer displayed on the individual distributions pages, but all visits (on the main site, as well as on mirrors) are logged. Only one hit per IP address per day is counted.
The figures in the third column of each table represent the average number of hits per day for the specified period. The tables are updated daily at around 40 minutes past midnight GMT."
You have completely obfuscated the point. If you are using solar collectors for hot water etc., you are reducing your energy usage, which reduces the energy demand on power plants, which reduces the amount of crap dumped into the atmosphere.
Please Mod parent post "King of FUD".
I agree with Anonymous Coward. Education is the best way to induce a positive change. You have removed the decision from your own family by lying to them. Either they trust you to make the decision for them, or they don't. And if they don't, then you should explain why you think they should do something, and take the time. Letting them base their [un-]choice on your lies is despicable.
Jamming any public signal is a against fcc regulations and therefore illegal. Broadcasting any power needed to jam a signal is heavily regulated (again by the fcc).
This is why cell phone Jammers have always been illegal. Because if you are jamming a signal, even inside your own home, its impossible to make sure you are not also radiating out side your property. You can always cage whatever it is you want to be isolated instead.
I'm not sure what firefox you use, but for years both firefox and IE have done this with out any special hotkeys. If I type into the address bar any word, my web browsers first tests http://www..com/ then some other extentions like.edu, and if that place doesn't exist, it will them automatically execute my primary search (google) with it.

I guess would should move Diehard with a vengeance to the educational section of the library (along with "Count of Monte Cristo").

"using technology supplied by companies such as IBM, Honeywell, and General Electric."
IBM making money at the expense of morality; nothing new here.

The converse is not always true.
so can't you just ssh home on 443 then?
I think this was said earlier but:
"firefox -safe-mode"
Go in and disable any add-on you want.
I think it is better to recommend this than your hack.

And not that is the end of the discussion, but:
