I suppose you could change your default sent mail folder to be the same as your inbox. Then in theory, at least, your replies would appear as part of the threads.
Indeed, and you can bet your ass I'll be opting-out next of any place that I have citizenship with. As it is, I just read yesterday about some 27 year old Chinese lady who was screwing up her own fingerprints (transplanting them from finger to finger) in order to try to fool Japanese biometric border scanners... Obviously these biometrics can be fooled. Next we'll be doing like in Space Quest 6 where Roger Wilco takes his robot pal's eyeball to fool the retinal scanner in the shuttle. My fear is that if your biometrics information is compromised, how do you actually prove that you are who you claim to be?
Hmmm this make it seems like Economics is more in line with Quantum Mechanics than with simple NP equations... Once you're observed the system, you've changed it.
Just to add on to what you and everybody else is saying... One thing I love about Israel is that if I'm earning minimum wage, I still have my health coverage for around $30/month (might have gone up since, but I highly doubt it would go up much more than that). That means that if I have an emergency, I have no fear of losing everything. Granted, I might not be covered if I want that elective surgery to attach a third arm and second head like Zaphod Beeblebrox, but for just about anything that a normal human being needs I would be covered. Yes, taxes are higher over there. But you get your health covered and it didn't even take 1990 or so pages of legalese drivel to get it.
Now we should all stand back for a moment and call to throw everybody involved in drafting this horrible monstrousity that rivals some of Stephen King's novels up for trial for treason... I mean, my gawd, you need 1990 pages to say "Hey, everybody, we're all going to get health coverage, it's going to account for X% of the budget, and it won't cover elective plastic surgery (reconstructive != elective plastic), and that's that".
Oh and all the people out there who will whine about potential price controls driving away doctors - Israel has the highest per-capita of doctors, and yet they earn less than a software engineer might. But then again, malpractice is not nearly as large of a deal over there and neither is the cost of going to university...
I completely agree, but would like to add that a) I have no mod points for you right now unfortunately, and b) the term of copyright needs to be severely limited to a reasonable time period. I'd suggest 14 years with one 14 year extension (hefty fee involved)...
But are treaties subject to constitutional tests? In other words, if a treaty was ratified that had a clause in it that said "the press must obtain governmental approval for all articles to be published under penalty of x y z", would the treaty or at least this clause be tossed out if subjected to court review?
Well, can't believe I still remember this, but Splinter and the turtles were all exposed to radioactive waste... So he wasn't exactly smart because he was a lab rat. He actually was a pet of his master Yoshi, one of Japan's finest shadow warriors...
And possibly the manner in which districts were drawn up... I don't know when the practice of jerry-mandering started, but nowadays the districts are drawn up so that all like-minded folks are grouped together so that there's as little deviation as possible in the voting patterns.
I do believe that is in fact what mercutioviz was saying. First pick a better tool, then make sure that tool is in proper configuration and working order. There are just somethings that FS is designed to do differently that make it easier implement good security practices. One example is having one SIP profile (UA) for one IP:port combination. I can have multiple SIP UA's with various levels of security bound to various different dialplan contexts all at the same time. There's none of 1 IP 1 port or all IPs one port scenario. It's a finer grained tool.
And to continue on yours and many other intelligent folks' lines of reasoning, it's funny how so many people don't know their history... While I don't know if Alexander the Great himself had homosexual tendencies, I do know that he created a very large empire. Later on the Romans then ended up taking over much of that empire. Both the Greeks and the Romans of 2000-2500 years ago had a lot of homosexual tendencies in their culture, with numerous leaders preferring young boys for sex. Seems like they still built empires and were vastly successful for periods of time.
I myself have no problem with homosexuals having the right to be married. The only condition that I put on it that it have the same legal ramifications as heterosexual couples would have. For example, Dick and John have been married for over 7 years and now want to divorce? Ok, we'll split up all the assets just like we would with a heterosexual couple...
On a side note, one thing I remembered from an anthropology class that I had to take in college is that there's a difference between sex and gender. Sex is what physical attributes you have on your body, and gender is what role you participate in. The case study was of some Native American tribes where somebody who is biologically male would assume a female role in the household and/or tribal society.
Yeah, that's the title that I saw on the Austin American Statesman's print edition yesterday. It clearly stated that he wanted to out people posing to be officers on "online forums". I did not have time to read the whole article, but I figured that if the Statesman had that level of detail just in the headline, that it was probably straight to the point.
I do know it's illegal to impersonate an officer in real life, but I'm not sure how that applies to the Internet. Of course, I always take it with a grain of salt even when somebody here does in fact say IAAL... Hell, I even took Ray Beckerman with a grain of salt until I read more of his postings over time. So I would give similar consideration to somebody claiming to be an officer on an anonymous forum... Call me a skeptic...
Yes, but the problem is this... who is it that can add an amendment to the constitution? Damn, it's the same congress that can be bribed with corporate donations...
I'm also guessing that this is prior to the invention of the flashlight (or do people in the UK call it a "torch"?) and possibly even the horseless carriage? I've got 3 flashlights around my house for when the lightbulbs don't work at all (namely if we were to have a power outtage).
Seriously, before I move into a place, I always check that there's running water, electricity, natural gas if the place has it, and that there's some lightbulbs that function... and if not, I know before I move in that I need to get down to the store to get some lamps or lightbulbs for the place.
Before the advent of the atom processor, I did set up some systems with Via C7 chips in them (and thus the via padlock crypto chip), and had them booting off of a custom install on an SD card. They are currently still in production, and are handling iptables and OpenVPN (using AES encryption) for network-to-network VPN'ing.
Will you PLEASE stop with this b.s. mantra of "XYZ is a publicly traded company and it's only obligation is to make a profit for shareholders". You are completely wrong about the obligation part. It is a *GOAL* of a for-profit organization to bring in a profit, but that profit can be short term or long term profit. Every time I hear this b.s. being spouted, it's almost always by whiny investors who have a sense of entitlement... "I invested $$ in your organization and now you OWE me a return on it GUARANTEED!". In reality, one of the primary OBLIGATIONS of a corporation is ethics, but it seems that people don't often hold the corporations up to those standards and instead opt for financial profit only. This is why we end up with blood-sucking monopolies and the like.
And this is exactly how I do my business... Want me onsite? Not a problem at all! I'm going to charge a higher rate for my time at your location, and on top of it, I charge a travel time fee. I've had a few instances where a potential client balked at the travel time charge. Though my explanation didn't satisfy them, my reasoning for both the higher hourly rate and the travel time is this:
1. The travel time charge pays for the time that I am in transit to your location.
2. The higher hourly rate is to make sure that I am focusing on your issues while I am at your location, and telling other clients with non-emergency issues that I'll have to deal with them later.
And to think that the Sierra adventure games of old (Space Quest, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and others) were full of humor, and look at what happened to Sierra after mergers. I'd say that it's harder to have real humor (instead of just insults/taunts) in FPS games, and certainly not in RTS games... I can also see it being quite a bit harder even still to add humor into an MMO, because the game is now more dependent on unpredictable human beings. And it seems that most games these days are FPS, RTS, or MMO.
Adventure games seem to have a much easier time inserting humor, as the pace is usually slower and the focus is on the storyline. Another example is Star Control II - that was also rife with humor (and gratuitous alien sex with the lights out...).

...I wonder if Colonel Tribune prefers Farmville or Mafia Wars?
Seeing that the Tribune is in Chicago, I'd say Mafia Wars...

That was Jack Valenti who said "forever minus a day" right? He's very bad at math. Infinity minus one does not magically stop being infinity...

Decent meaning "not sitting jail right now" ?
