...that federal law precludes an ex-con from profiting off of their crimes by doing things like writing books, and making movies? I see no issue with him writing a book on computer security, but how is him writing an account of his criminal actions that got him arrested not a breach of this law? Am I missing something? Not trying to be an armchair lawyer, just interested in why.
When will this unjustified persecution of undocumenting coders be stopped!? If I can understand 15 layers of recursion with pointers to 8 dimensional arrays and no documentation, you should be able to as well!
However what if the leadership of the two sides are essentially the same, and ultimately you're voting for the same person in different clothes? That's why third parties are important.
I actually agree with you in part, and I'd probably mod you up if I could, so no worries. I agree it isn't as good as it could be, but some of our foreign policies have turned around and bit us in such a way that I really wish we'd just been a bit more ruthless in the first place.
You have to admit, the US loves to look like the good guy though. Ignore the fact that we funnelled millions of dollars to Haliburton every year since the original gulf war to repair Iraq but yet made no effort to check in on them.
Also ignore that most of the destablizing of the middle east is a direct result of the US and UK's interference. We started our love affair after WWI when the IPC and BP forcefully locked in the nations to unreasonable petrol supply deals. As soon as they weren't our mandates anymore... all hell broke loose. Iran nationalized so we took Mossadegh out of the picture, despite him being our ally and a democratically elected secularist. We also formed the Iranian secret police, Savak, who systematically murdered every other secularist and Mossadegh supporter they could get their hands on. Regime change and thousands of innocent people dead. Not as elegant as dropping some gas on a bunch of Kurds, but ultimately it has the exact same effect, does it not? Even worse, this led to the Fundamentalist coup, which we now say hates us - ignoring the fact that we set the stage for it. They want to reason with us, and we stick our noses in the air. That doesn't sound like we're the good guys - it makes us sound just as warmongering and pompous as you try to make our enemies sound.
Just because we try to make our military confrontations and look politically acceptable does not by any fashion make us any less corrupt and warmongering than the other guys. Lets not forget, its hard to call us a civilized nation when we're the only one on earth to drop not one, but two nuclear explosives on a nation - after an extensive firebombing campaign none the less! I mean, how can you make firebombing acceptable when it directly targets civilians? I guess the same way we can drop "precision bombs" with a 1km kill radius in the middle of a residential neighborhood and claim that it only targets 3 or 4 insurgents.
But as I said... I do agree that the US lets some of it trickle down to its citizens' coffers, and I do agree that it usually has its own interests in mind.

Do your research and vote for the candidate you like most, major parties be damned. You'll hear people tell you, "a vote for a third party is a vote for (whichever candidate they don't like)." This is not true, and is the very thing which keeps us locked in a two party system.
Vote with the person who seems intelligent, and qualified to lead. Not the one who uses amorphous taglines like, "hope," "change," and "new America" (this isn't a slight against Obama, however he is using these words with very few actual moves towards any real genuine change in politics - on slashdot this is more evident than most places).
Finally, its your vote. Don't get bought, sold, or caught up in rhetoric. You are an intelligent person. To quote yet another musician, "There is a war being waged for your mind. If you are thinking, you are winning."
Gore wouldn't have disbanded Alec Station, the CIA's only unit dedicated to locating Bin Laden, and then spent the next 5 years trumpeting how they're still trying to find him. Or if he would have, it would have been about as successful as his hunt for Manbearpig.
You make it sound like Iran in the 50's or something. Its not like we led a coup against a secularist leader who dared to nationalize their nation's oil...
oh wait... well at least Mossadegh was elected, whereas Hussein killed his way to the top of the Ba'ath party. Either way, we've paved the path for fundamentalists to take over yet another major region with our manifest destiny pompous attitude. When you kill all of the secularists, the only ones left will be the fundamentalists.
Usually in a case like this the defense will point that out and attempt to get a dismissal. The judge will respond in kind, "this was an error in form, but the defense understands what meaning was meant to be expressed." - or something like that. Basically the judge tells the defense not to quibble over a grammatical error, since the meaning is spelled out throughout the entire complaint numerous times. Trying to get a dismissal based on a single error in word choice would be a non-sequitor because it doesn't follow the facts of the case.
DINGDINGDING, we have a winner! Sometimes they list that there is, "antipiracy software" included, I hardly think that disclaimer explains away SecuROM.
Agreed, I screwed up, and meant to say, "directly, with no firewalling and no NAT." Though to be semantic about it, NAT is actually considered a type/generation of firewall even though it really doesn't firewall in the popular sense of the term. You can only forward certain ports onwards. NAT only firewalls are all but dead these days, so the point is a bit moot, but its something to note.
Almost all of these things can be using a non-publically routable IP address. NAT exists for a reason. Do you really need to be able to log in to automated parking space 1a from anywhere directly, with no firewalling? I don't think so. If you do, however, please post your IP range, I want some free parking.:)
Seriously though, some of the companies out there are still using class A and B networks and only using a few of those IP's. There's no reason for that in this day and age except for very extreme circumstances, like application service providers and web hosts. No company out there needs 16 million IP addresses, and I believe you'd be hard pressed to find one out there who even needs class B (65,000). Companies like IBM and apple need to give some of the spectrums they grabbed back when the getting was good back to the rest of the world. Switch from the allotment they got in the classy days and to the newer CIDR system. CIDR and NAT should postpone any real emergency for IP addresses if used properly.
We still need to switch eventually, but this could push it back a ways.
This reminds me of the OLD days when there were DOS utils which dumped the current contents of RAM immediately after a reboot with the intention of recovering passwords from the previous user.
I can't watch the video, however are the screenshots just left in RAM? Or are there actual files saved somewhere?

If I lived in the UK, you would have just sold me. Throw in a shell account, and I may consider jumping across the pond :)
Just sayin. Clementine was farking hot.
Well, technically it is a form of brain damage. Though I'm sure it'd be on par with, say, a night of heavy drinking.

I like this theory. My questions are, if our known universe is a bubble/globule of matter floating in a larger void...

I lied, its the song, "We are Winning." Same group though.
That's a pretty awesome idea actually, I'd never heard of it. Kudos on the find!
Its from the song "There is a War going on for your mind" by Flobots.
