I'll vouge for your parent, this is the way it went down. It was a strike of sorts, but it was the dock that locked the longshoremen out not the longshoremen refusing to work. At the end of the day, they were ordered back to work, funny as that they were forced to stop work. They were told to go back to the old way and it was kinda ignored that the old way was in violation of the rules. All this really ended up proving is that the longshoremen can use this anytime they want for anything they want. The dock should have been forced to comply one way or the other but the longshoremen felt that the point was made and resumed rule breaking at their own peril.
Alright, first im sorry for being an ass yesterday. second, i was told O2 was flammable, i wanted to see so i tried. i was using gas from the university labled O2, it did burn. To the best of my knowlage, there was no other gas in suffient quanitys to burn in that O2 stream, but I'm telling you, I tried it and it did.
I'm here now. I know that means very little without saying where here is but you didn't either. I grew up in Stockton (in the cenral valley), i moved to West Covina (So Cal) in 99. Took a job driving around LA, Orange, San Bernadino, and Riiverside Counties for a living in 01 and continued until last july. Most of that time i spent in the hollywood/burbank and in getting there from our industry headquarters. I now work in Pomona near the college but drive downtown frequently. It could be much better if the car companies and oil companies didn't lobby against public transportation, but its still not as bad as people think.
That's funny because i did it too, and guess what happened, it burned. Very small stream of O2, lit it on fire, it burned. I'm sorry you weren't there to see it but hey, at least you have no personal skills.
ok, lets try this again. you take an oxygen tank, just some goold old 2O2, you open that sumabich up and stike a match, some flint, whatever, you touch a 9volt to some steal wool, you put it close to that escaping gas, the little fire starts. next, you remove this match, spark, or whatever. Does the fire go out? Come on, dont do a 'thought experiment', go try it. OK, you're back. Good now we know that the fire did not go out. So was it the match still burning? You douse the match in water 10 feet away yet the fire continues. This sounds to me like a flammable ("Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly") material. Its funny to me that if you replaced all the Oxygens in this statement with another gas, say Hydrogen, and preformed the same experiment, you wouldn't have seen the complaints.
You got the positives right. Im from Nor Cal and now live in LA county, the grography and weather are the best in the nation, possibly the world. Temp swings of 50 degrees F from a hot summer day to a cold winter one. We keep the snow in the mountians, where it belongs. I can be from a warm 80 degree F beach to snowboarding in under 2 hours. We, without the reset of the US, have the worlds 7th largest enconomy, we feed pretty much the entire world.
About your negatives: Everything expensive: really only in OC, LA, and Bay, remember that this is less than 10% of the state. The desert (only 1 hour from LA) and the central valley (an hour from the bay) are still pretty cheap. Up past sacramento, land is practilly free.
CA traffic: We also have the best freeway system in the nation, and we did it without turnpikes. THe bad commutes are into LA and into silicone valley. Other than that, its not that bad. (and i worked as a on-site computer tech in LA for 3 years.
Major metro areas: What do you define as a major metro area? If you answer a place that is really crowded.... umm OK.
No smoking in public areas: This is bad?
Not wanting him here. If we are voting on this (which californian's like to do, being the nations only direct democrocy) I will cast mine against him also. Let him freeze, its expected to break 100 again today. (3/16/04)
This is all very true. Personal relationships can cause stress on work relationships. Also, Work relationships can cause stress on personal relationships. I hired on my GF and found that she didn't like me at work. She didn't realize that there would be no kissing, she was not allowed to call me "honey" and, this is the big one, she couldn't deal with me chewing her ass out (like any other employee) when she messed up. She seemed to think that because we had a personal relationship, different rules applied to her than any other employee.
Futhermore, women can't leave it behind when you walk out the door. I worked for one of my best friends a long time ago. It came to the point that, in order to save the company face, he needed to fire me. He did and then we went out for a beer. With my GF,if I was dissatified with how she dealt with a customer, and I told her so, she "wasn't hungry" when it was time for our date later that night.
THe important thing to take away from this is that you can't, no matter how much you think that you can, ever work with those you love. If you are going to anyway, make sure you set forth the difference between work and home and never let anything cross that line, in either direction.
I RTFLA and the attached pdf . First, let me say that the PDF sums it up, you can avoid the article. Second, I would like to know, according to this pdf, how did the system rate a +8 on a scale of -7 to +7?

What you say is true. Even delivering power to the server lowers its security. A truly secure server is off, unplugged, disconnected and in a vault. I guess you could argue the defenses of vaults, but I digress. In this example I was speaking of putting servers which have no need for internet access on non-routable IP ranges. When routers don't pass info, you are preventing access in and out of the space. I felt that it goes without saying that firewalls should be set up correctly but there is no need for a firewall when we are not allowing any packets on any ports. If an internal machine is compromised, we would likely have a physical security problem as that the servers which I was referring to should be locked in a server room. In any case, my point was that it's ridiculous to say we should disconnect them all. I want to manage machines with a network and it is possible to do it with a reasonable amount of security. We all must chose the threshold of what we will call secure, I feel that this situation is clearly within that threshold.
If we are talking about grammar school children, explain that people like those who are clean, smelling good, and have a sense of humor.
If we are talking about teenagers, sex is really the right answer. Not that I advocate actually getting him laid, but let's not ignore the fact that the desire to reproduce is the second strongest desire in all of nature, just under survival. Like it or not, in order to be attractive to women (or even men) you must be clean, sociable, and being in decent shape doesn't hurt. Most intelligent people would be with you on that this is a good course of action, the problem is how to be sociable.
I don't advocate D&D any more than I do cocaine. It's addictive and ends up introducing you to more people with no social skills. LUG's, Magic, theater, and comicon are all right there with it. The goal is to interact with people who are outside your social circle and comfort zone. I saw a few good suggestions for this: martial arts, camping (boy scouts), sports.
I am a geek, I am fat, everyone I know describes me as outgoing. The secret was realizing the falseness of "cool" and "popular".
Someone is popular because they are accepted by those who you perceive to be popular. It's in your perception. There is nothing which sets the cool apart from the un-cool other than that individual's self-perception. Once I was able to come to terms with the fact that no one is intrinsically better than me nor more worthy, I was able to break the mental block which kept me in the theater and out of the keggers. Once I quit ranking myself on a scale of what I thought others thought of me, I was able to become what I thought of myself.
Remember that being more intelligent does give you the advantage. You can learn the game, practice it, and become proficient while others are still coming to grips that there is a game at all.
scouring of the shire. As in to clean what was found there. I don't remember it burning. Also, I feel that we have not been lied to about what they were releasing and when, he has built trust and I dont see him breaking it by lieing to us by putting more footage in the box set.

While i always appricate a good "sneakernet" reference, it is possible to remove a system from the standard network and still have it connected to a network for updating reasons. That what non-routable address space is all about. Try to remember that the noetwork was built for us to use too, not just our customer.

You must be from the same school of thought as most management. We caulk all day long and never build the secure infrastructure, pretty soon, you live in a caulk coated house.
That is exactly my point. The Swiss are not neutral if they are leading the team to find and take down terrorist cells. Furthermore, continued partisipation in these activitys and they better start fearing terrorism.
So what are the conditions for extradition of criminals. Americans are widely led to believe that the Swiss do not extradite criminals at all. I am aware that there are several countries (including Mexico) which will not extradite someone who will face capitol punishment upon release and will negotiate removal of the death penalty before release of a wanted criminal but I thought that the Swiss don't release under any circumstances.
So far as buying cells without showing ID, there are several prepaid plans both in Europe and America which will ask you to fill out a form of identification and sell you the phone/minutes without verifying that your information provided was true. Perhaps we will see this go away soon, but when I was looking at phones over Christmas break, this was still the case and my friend also saw them in England.
Terrorism is "the systematic use of violence as a means to intimidate or coerce societies or governments" dictionary.com
The Boston tea party was undoubtedly terrorism. The participants were criminals and knew they were (shown as that they went in disguise). Right and wrong are not necessarily related to legal and illegal. I don't desire to discuss here the justifications for hatred.
Help me out here. I was under the impression that the Swiss, as a policy, prefer not to get involved in such things as assisting in tracking wanted people and surrendering information to governmental and law enforcement bodies and the like. I imagine that this is s major reason that a Swiss company was appealing to terrorist cell-users. Is this no longer the Swiss outlook? Have I been misled in this arena? Does someone who is Swiss have some input on this?
Im gonna have to call you on this one. There are indeed some things that computers are good at. Mainly counting. Very fast, very acurate counting. This is a great application of computers. The issues for security can, and eventuly will, be resolved. Perhaps its too early but in time this will become defacto. remember that when americans get to the fork in hte road, they almost always choose the tech path.
