So you elect him because the issues on which he's speaking don't matter to you, but expect immigrants (i.e. people to whom issues like that matter immensely) to... what? Ignore it? Kind of difficult when you're being asked for your papers all the time...
I love how everyone with these extreme viewpoints posts as an AC. In any case, like I said, there's a reason ICE exists. Apparently, you people don't think their laws go far enough. I disagree, vehemently.
Additionally, your point about the Mexican police force really has nothing to do with anything since they would appear to be a federal entity, like ICE. If you were to talk about the police of a specific Mexican province or city, maybe then you'd have a point, limited as it may be (I'm not sure I would want to base my national immigration policy on Mexico, after all).
In no way am I suggesting that everyone in Arizona is like that; I happen to know a couple people who live there and they're great. Unfortunately, your politicians have set policies that I don't find attractive in the least, and the fact that they have done so, repeatedly, suggests that the tone there would not be welcoming.
If you want to change your image, change your politicians. The problem seems to be that many Arizona natives like them.
In a sense, yes. I have a problem with their state people taking the laws into their own hands. There's a reason ICE exists. And frankly, I don't want to be looked at with suspicion for daring to spend the $2500+ I've spent so far (with more to come!) in order to become a lawful permanent resident.
Defendant: Your honor, I would like to bring the database containing my license plate tracking information to the stand, so that it may be cross-examined.
Witness, I have but one question for you: SELECT `full_name` FROM `plate_recognitions` WHERE `location` = "Crime Scene" AND `timestamp` BETWEEN "2012-07-31 23:30:00" AND "2012-08-01 00:00:00" ORDER BY `timestamp`
Let the record show that the system positively identified the defendant.
(Seriously, though, we're getting to that point. I'd imagine it could be done in a way believable to a jury via a software engineer proxy to the database.)
So, serious question: Is this a stunt? Is there going to be a sequel? Please let this be an excuse to announce a sequel.
Last I heard they were pretty far into it; could they have already filmed it? Does anyone know if it would have fit into the major players' schedules since March?
IP addresses do not usually give away direct locations; they most often give away the location of the ISP. Maybe if you're working at a place that has their own static IP or block, but then you're potentially one of hundreds or thousands.
I'm much less concerned with IP geolocation than automated tracking of license plates for this reason. A more comparable internet analogy (since we're already talking about cars) would be if police installed tracking software on the major routers of the internet backbone that could identify what people did at all times.
It's not the fact that it can be done; it's the fact that it's done indiscriminately, without probable cause for such tracking, under the assumption that for a subset of the people tracked, they will find such probable cause later.
Bingo. You could fab up a custom cartridge yourself for less than the amount asked and still make a tidy profit. There's more than enough information on yonder internets; the NES has long ago been completely deconstructed and understood. I would be very, very skeptical.
While support for Ksplice is present in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, it does nothing without the Ksplice Uptrack service enabled.
Any software company that locks on-disk, local software to an ongoing support contract can go fuck themselves. Ksplice should be part of the kernel proper; Oracle are holding back progress, plain and simple.
You know, I'm OK with the occasional bad link or poorly researched story, but could we avoid regurgitating obvious press releases from private companies? Look, editors, I really, really rarely complain about you guys, but we do expect at least a little bit of work in filtering and, you know, editing stories.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon would be one of your best bets. "Everything" button in the lower left, system tray in the lower right, just like Windows, and yet you're still running (a fork of) Gnome 3, so you get all the latest bells and whistles.
Is there something fundamental about physics that suggests that this is a problem that cannot be solved? Because if not, you're correct, it's inefficient... until they research more and it's not.

What, you think that when I buy a CD and rip its tracks, the results are any different than when a pirate group buys a CD and rips its tracks?
I'd bet more on Austin as an up and coming city, personally. Seattle's kind of already there.

Also, Joe Arpaio can go fuck himself.
I guarantee that app is gathering useful demographic data on anyone who installs it.
Is Phoenix The Next Silicon Valley?
Dear God, I hope not. In the current political climate, as an immigrant, I am avoiding Arizona entirely unless it's absolutely required.
I would assume the error introduced by not measuring directly from the router would be pretty immense.

Please suggest a better alternative.

My Linux boxes crash a heck of a lot more (mostly thanks to buggy GPU drivers) then my rusty copy of Vista
My experience is exactly the opposite of this, so to each their own.
So in the end Linux is good for poor people and Open Source hippies
Oh, never mind, you're just a troll. Who modded this guy up?
