Too bad part 15 of the FCC's guidelines can't apply. The whole "may not cause harmful interference" section might have been nice. My dad parked on a Navy base with his keyless entry-equipped Oldsmobile for a few years up in Washington. Whatever they had running was so strong, it completely fried the system.
Seriously, though... You have to admit the opposition managed to put out some scary stuff... I saw it in the hallway at college and wasn't pleased. Got over it though.
I have no doubts at it's highest levels, the US government has ways to control the media both subtle and not so subtly.
It's been documented in the past. I can't remember if they were CIA or military, but higher-ups actually put high-ranking media editors under their thumb one way or another. They got in trouble for it because they gave them classified information in the process.
In his defense, it was Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga that wrote MI:2. Woo just directed it. (yeah, THEM. The ones responsible for Star Trek Voyager.) (shudder)
cold day in hell? Noooo. It will be the day BEFORE we start hearing click..click.. whirrrrr click..click.. whirrrrr coming from your general direction.
They are also used for on call personal like plumbers, system admins, fire fighters, and meidcal staff. You know that nice doctor that helps out during a baby's delivery? They aren't standing by in the waiting room, they are out and about and get called in when they are needed.
That's the biggest argument that should settle the whole issue right there. This "I want it NOW" society has little business complaining about that which makes people reachable. Or would they like to pay two or three times as much for service X to have technician Y standing by at all times ON SITE? Didn't think so.
I'll make you a deal. Pass ONE law about cybersecurity. Make it illegal to run an open relay mail server. See if you can enforce it. We'll know if it works if spam decreases.. If you can, and it does, you can pass another law. See if you can enforce that, too. Then we'll talk.
from the seeing-the-light dept. Either that, or he watched Stargate SG-1 last week and wants a Repository of the Ancients downloaded into his brain. (And who can blame him?!) It uses lots of flashy, colored, pretty light.
I work for a friend of mine and it goes OK, but it's stressful at times. I would NOT want a family member in the mix. Maybe you should watch a few episodes of American Chopper...
NOT to belittle LEO's, but I've heard that some departments won't hire people whom they feel are too intelligent. They are afraid they will get bored too easily. There was a case where a guy scored extremely high on one of those little tests, and was therefore not hired. Of course, once his lawyer was done, he probably didn't need to....
I'm thinking of moving out of the IT industry... What I'm looking for: Reasonable job satisfaction- No more adjusting the settings on something that's going to get screwed up constantly or need non-stop maintenance. Something physical. And preferably something that people don't consider vital to their life. I can't even guess how many day-traders have threatened to hold me responsible for their ISP being down...
Human interaction-And by human, I don't mean people that can't use their computers. Being in a job where the only people you see for months on end are 7 other guys kind of gets old. Especially if you don't get out a lot. Money will/would be nice, but my expenses are low, so I'm fortunate that it won't be a primary concern.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that came up with that analogy. I said it looked like someone fired a superball from a tennis ball cannon inside a racquetball court.
I can give him a pass on that because he actually FILMED the scene in question with a stand-in with the full intent of putting in that scene with that dialog. The cantina scene looks like a crappy cgi hack.

Amen to the cab part, but you're forgetting about the bus! $2 per trip or $5 for a 24 hour period. And the traffic will get out of the way of the bus.
Me Too!

"... working in the hot fields of superconductivity and molecular electronics"
Better to bust your ass all day in the fields of superconductivity than the mines of gravity or the factory of photons...
(It's 6:45am and i haven't gone to bed yet. be kind)
Hey, that's not bad. I think my message actually got through... "All your LED's are belong to me."

I'm not so sure about that. Remember what happened when Quantum Leap got moved to Friday nights?
Thanks. It won't play worth shit on a Mac... Tried Safari, Camino, MSIE, and Firefox.
I don't have a first-born child to sell... My sister is giving birth this weekend, though. Maybe when her back is turned...
cold day in hell? Noooo.

Let's hook it up with the electronic billboards mentioned earlier today!

It wouldn't be scarier if we knew this sort of things was being planned through email and nothing was being done at all to monitor or stop it?

(see you sometime in 2036)
I'm sorry... WHOSE site is this, again?
(Y)ours?
No?
Didn't think so.
Oh go ahead. Flamebait? Troll?
Well, not after 20 seconds with the good scissors.
Yeah right, and the control set shorts out as soon as a pasty-faced geek actually sees a woman half-naked.
