who actually know something about earthquakes as opposed to the fuckwits who want to sue. Earthquake intensity is notoriously hard to predict - in fact if my memory serves me correctly it has only happened a couple of times in the last couple of decades despite billions being spent on research and monitoring.
My post was not intended to be funny, although it clearly is to someone. Privacy is a serious concern. In my world (education) we are constantly having to tell students - and staff for that matter - that their postings are not private. I don't know what the person was actually fired for, and frankly I don't care - the point is that there is a presumption that social network sites are private. They are not and this has been obvious for some time. Hence my "idiot" comment.
The treaty was written and signed to combat terrorism. Is he a terrorist? I doubt it. Is it worth the cost to get him to the US to be tried? I doubt that too. For fuck sake go after the real terrorists rather than a misguided individual with a mental disorder who believes in aliens. FFS the US should be thanking him for finding security flaws and not selling them to someone else. In this case I say FUCK THE TREATY!
yes I'm shouting.
Who the fucking hell do these cunts think they are. Any minority ie less than 50% who think they can tell me what I can enjoy or laugh at can go and shove their fucking beliefs up their fucking arses - because that's where they belong - in a pile of shit, Fuck off religious nutters of any persuasion.
I went to a Chiropractor about 2 years ago because I realised that my back was getting stiffer and less flexible - not surprising as I had just hit 50, and have a fairly sedentary job.
Has my back improved - yes.... Placebo effect? who knows. But what I can say is that the incidence of migraines has improved from 3 a week to one a month over the last 2 years. Coincidence? Maybe but it was never suggested to me that that was even possible, and it was not what I went for. So does Chiropractic work? Hell yes!
Conroy is a moron.....or maybe he has to toe the party line. Whichever, the government of oz is delusional if they think a filter can block "unacceptable" sites. I bought my copy of The Peaceful Pill online despite the fact that it is banned here on oz - it arrived in a cardboard package with "book" written on the customs sticker, and no doubt the customs Xray confirmed that it is in fact a book. The other huge con (short for Con-roy) is "think of the children" - well please tell me Mr Conroy how filtering my internet will stop pedophiles making kiddy porn. That's right it wont!
Not sure that I agree with all you say about code - probably because I was too lazy to learn it myself. However it is still the single most effective non-computer-driven mode that can punch through heavy RF noise and be heard thousands of km away. Here in oz, we have found that now that morse is not a requirement, there has been a surge of interest in it....... odd isn't it?
..... that the average Joe Blow with a basic receiver and antenna and suitable software on his/her computer can pick up the weather pix for themselves. Go on you lazy bastards google it yourselves - "weather satellite receiver kit", "turnstile antenna", "weather satellite receiving antenna" - and get the gen from our favourite data company.
the acceleration was caused by some external EMI event? Why?. It is well known amongst ham radio operators that some cars do not have sufficient EMI protection so that an otherwise correctly installed transceiver will interfere with the car electronics when used.
Pure speculation I know......
does not say "the vaccine did not cause autism" rather it said "there is no evidence that it caused autism" (paraphrasing is mine). So does it? Well we still don't know. This sounds like a victory for the scientific method to me.
Oh, hang on was there any chicken guts in the research? No? Then throw out all the research and find someone to blame.
Did I have my children vaccinated? Yes, because the risks of not dong so far outweigh the risks from the vaccines.
Yes. We are often misunderstood as a bunch of weirdo's who talk in code or persist with "dead" technologies such as CW. What many people do not realise is that hams have often been at the forefront of communications technology. So, am I surprised to read a story like this one - No. Am I surprised to hear the derision of slashdotters who think that communications technology started with the mac plus (replace mac plus with your favourite piece of technology) - No again. Geez guys for a bunch that are supposed to be interested in technology, some of you are acting like retarded ferrets.
don't jaibreak your iphone, don't trust bittorrent, don't visit suspect sites, don't click on emailed links that are not from trusted sources - well DUH!
In a word - NO
I've been a teacher in OZ for 28 years and have never heard anything that approaches this level of paranoia. Mind you, organisationally we are very different. State or "independent - eg Catholic, Anglican etc etc"..... no such thing as a school district that is totally independent of the one geographically next to it.
My ham radio installation did cause interference to one channel on our TV on 30m. I found the reason - resonant frequency of the cabling for the TV, and have cured it.
Maybe they problem is the resonant frequency of the pea brains inside their heads. .
As a father of four children under 30, I can say that their expectations and use of "communication" technology are far different to mine. Unfortunately they - particularly my youngest - are also the most inexperienced drivers, the most overconfident drivers and the ones most likely to want to use these technologies while they drive. It seems to me to be a recipe for disaster. Society as a whole will pay in increased health costs and insurance premiums - maybe the car companies should start paying a safety tax on each of these cars sold.
Buy a laser printer!!!!!!!
Unless you "need" colour - and lets face it most of us don't - buy a mono laser. Higher initial cost, longer life, cheaper per page cartridges..... hell you'd have to be mad not to.
We went mono laser while our children were still at school because of the costs of them printing a colour page and then binning it because they noticed a mistake.. No guys, you want colour, you colour it!
Now we have mono networked laser - Brother 8460N. I'm sure there are similar other brand printers out there that are just as good.
Do we print in colour? Yes! at the friggen photo booth.

whether it is justifiable or not. Anyone who uses facebook and thinks that they are anonymous or safe (from someone dobbing them in) is an idiot.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST !!!!!! WTF is going on? Has everyone gone stark raving looney or something?
Godzilla is just like the rest of us - he doesn't know wtf is going on but suspects viacom is a pack of arseholes and google is in fact doing evil.

and over-hyping is unusual on slashdot? You must be new here.
Here's another idea. Stop marketing antiboitic garbage bags (insert your own favourite product).
