As a ferret owner, I also know that ferrets bite. However, ferrets that have been taken care of properly and handled frequently when young won't bite. The same is true for dogs, cats, and even rodents such as gerbils and hamsters, and I'm sure all animals.
I'm sure if they were to use any animal for search and rescue, it would have had immense human contact while young and the urge to bite a human would not exist. Any notion that a search and rescue animal might devoure the discovered victim is luticrious.
Side Note: They wouldn't file the teeth. They'd fit them with muzzles or put rubber protectors in their mouths or soemthing.
I understand rescuers are really careful to prevent things from shifting while digging, but rats are much smaller than humans. I guess I just have this vision of the poor little guy squeezed into a tiny little tunnel right next to the victim he's found and some guy accidently stepping on him.
Not only would PETA be upset, but that's a waste of neuro implants!
And how do they make sure the rats seek out victims only and not rescuers?
I don't have a "right" to sell off an Air Force Base. Its not mine to sell. It belongs to the Government, not me.
You just answered your own question. It's still Public Property... It's not mine... It belongs to the Government, not me.
Public property is just that: Public. Who owns it? The governmet! Same is true with the airwaves. Since their public, the only institute that can own it is the goverment, and if they own it, they can sell it.
Perhaps a direct vote is in order, but given few people actually go out to vote for president, something they might have some knowledge in, how are they going to knowledgably regulate RF? That's what the FCCs for. And when they screw up, we...
If you rent bandwidth, then its an easy thing to alternative squelch speech by making the 'rental' fee far to high, unless you are one of the big media giants..
Don't they sell the bandwidth now? What if they sold it for exorbinant fees? Seems to me barriers already exist and government already has the ability to raise or lower those barriers. Rent or sell, it's egal.
I used tag and rename, but I remember it pissed me off quite a lot when I first used it. I forget off the top of my head what limitation I didn't like (I know it wasn't the cheap looking interface, but that was a bit of a distraction)...
I'll be looking into foobar, though. Anything with plugins is going to be better than anything without;)
I know I'm going against the crowd, but has anyone found anything quite as good as MusicMatch's Smart Tagging capability? Winamp finally has a library, but it still doesn't manage music as well as MusicMatch and has no where near the tag-managment capabilities.
I've seen a couple of products that offer Tags from filenames, but nothing that does tags from file names and directory struture as well as the reverse.
(WinAmp 5 did actually win me over from MMJB, btw. So the question asked in this post is not rhetorical.)
First off, even if the University doesn't own the appartments, I'm sure the owners bend to every whim the university makes backing up any regulation they wish to enforce. If I were the landlord, I would most certainly do that as it would ensure the University continued to send a steady stream of students my way.
Secondly, if you read in the article, it also states that the University operates free 802.11b or g access WITHIN the appartment building. Were the campus owned access points within another building, I would be appauled with the rest of you, but since the access points are placed inside of the appartment I have to totally side with the university.
Not that I would comply if I were a student with Comcast internet (I'm sure way less regulated than the campus free wireless access in the building.) I'd just wait a couple of weeks for it to die down and then turn on my router again with SSID broadcast turned off so students don't stumble accross my AP.
Mr. Casey acknowledged that "perfect accuracy isn't possible." But he added that "lots of other things in accounting are impossible to measure with perfect accuracy."
But at least other things in accounting can be measured with modest accuracy.
I'm told that if you have more than 10 macs under your name they start to question a little, but there's no official limit, so as long as they're all real devices (and not just a bunch of spoofed addresses), you're ok.
Well, they do search for mis-formed MAC addresses (ie, if the MAC doesn't resolve to a real company) and then they'll port block you (at the switch). Or if you register a whole bunch of macs (remember, they go under your name in the database) then they'll block your physical port on the switch.
Also, a ping sweep might register as a scan, in which case you might get blocked since virii also scan. Or, you'll hit my IP (my firewall blocks pings) and you'll use my ip/mac and then you will get yourself quickly physically blocked in the switch your connected to.
For people not in the dorms, they can really only block your mac address, but I've tried manually setting IP addresses, and it doesn't seem to work...
This is exactly what our school does. When you first go on the network you're given a 10. ip address. Any DNS calls resolve to an oncompus webserver that allows you to register your computer (ie, if you load your home page, the school computer responds instead). When you register, you enter your username and password (or create one) and your computer is scanned for known security vulnerabilities (are you vuln to Blaster, etc) and any broadcasting virii. If you are, you are not even given a 10. address lease until you install patches (free CDs available from ITS or Dorm staff.) Once you've installed, you have to call ITS and ask to be unbanned.
You don't have to use the schools antivirus, but if you get a virus that broadcasts you are DHCP banned. Just like before, you have to ask to be unbanned and you must re-do the registration process from before (since your mac was removed from the "good" list).
While the computer is scanned, we are not required to install spyware. I think our policy is a good trade off, campus required spyware is too much. I'd move off campus or hurry up and switch to Linux.
It depends on where you live. In the more populated areas, the stores are bigger, but the reps don't know jack. In the smaller places that are just big enough to have a best buy, the reps seem to be a little better trained, but they seem to have less stock (smaller store..)
I buy all of my stuff online, but it's sometimes nice to talk to a rep and make them unlock the toys so you can play with them before you purchase online;)
Ummm... that's the mower he linked to in his post when he said they already exist, but he'd rather build one than buy one to save some money and protect his geekliness.
bah, who cares.. it gets most of the lawn and it's really cheap... just have to wire up the safety switch so it doesn't shutdown the mower when you release the handle and let it fly...
This will get the job done half assed while you build a more functional model to replace it

You're summary's wrong. It will be reduced by 75%, not reduced to 75%. That means it will be 75% smaller, or 25% as large as the current model.

You'd need a small triangle of 3 stakes or 1 large diameter stake to pull it in most of a lawnmowers width..
Not very safe, but I like it
