The previous poster stated that the reason for the section of the spectrum being used for wi-fi being safe is its high amplitude.
When you decrease the frequency of an EM, the amplitude increases. AFAIK this is why all EM waves from radio to gamma rays travel at the same speed.
I agree entirely. I would like to add to your point (if I may).
One area where a command line owns over GUIs (and will for quite some time) is usability over a slow link. My employer's network has many sites that are literally hundreds of miles apart, and frequently unmanned. We have dialup modems hooked into console servers should we lose our internet link to these facilities. They're a little choppy, but they work. I can not imagine being able to run a GUI of any sort over that kind of connection. I don't wish IOS had a graphical way to set things up, in fact I'm glad it doesn't.
That was actually Mark Kroeker, formerly the police chief in Portland, OR. After he made this assertion reporters from Willamate Week rooted through his garbage, as well as that of the Multnomah county district attorney and the mayor.
The most risque thing that I remember turning up in anyone's trash was an empty whisky bottle (only one). Their point was made though.
As the son of a (former) burglar I can tell you a burglar does not want anyone to be home. They may mistakenly believe a home to be unoccupied, but the more steps that you take to make it obvious that you are home the less likely they are to believe you aren't. On the other side of the coin you have home invasion robbers. These are the people who you hear about raping and killing the occupants of homes. If someone breaks into my house when I'm not home I have insurance. If someone wants to break into my house when I am home I have a light with a motion sensor in it and a dog. If those things aren't enough of a deterrant I have a shotgun as a last resort. I know using it on someone would certainly do me some psychological damage. I'd also rather deal with that then die.
We do need sales people.
I've done sales before. I did alright at it. Not spectacular, but I made my quota every time.
I'm working as an admin right now and going to school part time. Salesmen do not need to bust their asses in school, taking classes which have concrete answers. You can't bullshit your way through hard sciences.
Damn near anyone can be a salesman. You actually have to work to learn to be an engineer.
The kinds of reactors used at Chernobyl do not have a containment vessel, unlike the reactors used in the West (and most other Soviet designs too). If there had been a containment vessel at Chernobyl the radioactive material would have been contained. The only people that died would've been the people in the building when the reactor exploded.
AND more nuclear warheads?
Weapons grade uranium is 90% U-235. Commercial reactor fuel is about 30% U-235.
Commercial reactors do produce small quantities of PU-239, but require extensive refining to be made usable.
Maybe you should try thinking instead of having emotional outbursts.
4. Stonethrowing theory. This theory states that the difference between apes and humans resulted some 8 to 10 million years ago from a solo quadruped ape that "started throwing rocks overarm and overhead". This activity gave the ape advantages in getting food and more females for mating purposes "by killing other rivals using throwing".
Killing sasquatch is currently illegal in Skamania County, Washington. At this time Bigfoot has no state wide protection. However, if the sasquatch actually exists and someone kills one you can expect a public outcry./Grew up in Washington
When I was in middle school they had us watch an "educational" video about software piracy called "Don't Copy that Floppy". It didn't work.

I used to work the abuse desk for a cable internet provider. We never actively looked for people running web servers if they weren't eating up bandwidth, but if they were doing somethign else we would also use it as an extra excuse to suspend their service.
Additionally I've run snort since I've had broadband. I am yet to be portscanned by anyone other than script kiddies or zombies. If you aren't causing the ISP any problems you'll never even be noticed.
Before I changed jobs a few months back I was the "abuse guy" (among other things) for the ISP I work for.
I wrote a script that ran nmap, amap, and mothra on each IP in a text file and emailed me the results. I'd go through the day's complaints, make my list, and within a few hours I'd have at least five zombied boxes who's owners suddenly found themselves without an internet connection.
The ISP I work for (name withheld to protect the proactive) has what I consider to be a good policy for handling bots. I think it is good because I came up with it myself.
Any host that we get a complaint about is portscanned (all ports are scanned). The output from nmap is then fed into amap for application fingerprinting and mothra to grab banners. We then suspend the customer's internet access until they clean up the computer.
On the whole port 25 thing, ever day we find systems that are running SMTP servers on bizarre, very high ports.
I worked at the Stream site on Oregon for quite some time.
Originally it started out as a good job, as long as you knew what you were doing you could get away with pretty much anything as long as you were actually working most of the time (crude jokes, etc).
The company's mascot was one of those yellow "Bendy" things that Archie McPhee sells. All manner of bendies were made, bondage bendy, aborted fetus bendy (in a jar of water), Jesus bendy (crucified), and Stat Nazi Bendie (wore a German SA uniform and sat on top of the phone system monitor).
At about the time when technical minded people stopped working there and more office-type people started streaming in HR started getting complaints about all the different humorous things throughout the office and made people get rid of them. The only reason for staying there (being able to do whatever you want) was gone, and I got out.

I think dictator is the correct thing to call someone who has the power to rule by decree. Being elected doesn't really do much to change that.

Postwar Spain produced several 7.62 NATO Mausers for the Guardia Civil. It is my understanding that they have a tendency to explode too.

I understand that the Spirit and Opportunity rovers use the VME bus, which was used by Sun (and probably some others) in the 80s and early 90s.
