Absolutely true considering we ARE running out of money. That is probably why the priority is high for US to make China a stronger ally. I would personally hope that our Relations improve to the point, when China deploys a Naval fleet and airforce, we work in joint operations.
Hell I would Love to hear that China assumes the role of Policing the Planet while the US helps operate the administrative tasks. We are in control, but China and US military are joint in operations in attacking 'terrorists' Or whatever bullshit war scheme thats going on.
Pagers work on a different frequency than Cell phones.
Many Jammers have been proven to jam just the cellular freq. and Pagers still work. I personally have seen EMTs and Doctors still receive their pages while their phones are sufficiently jammed.
YOUR name is Jingle James Hyper Smith, THATS MY NAME TOO!!! something something something something, I can't remember the song so well...

I can't wait for Every American BUT politicians be on the no fly list. Lets see what the government does to bail out the airline industry again. "Oh Noes! Travelers aren't flying enough and the airlines have to raise prices, cut flights, etc, etc... because of the losses." TSA and Government is currently the fucker uppers of the airline industry. When all Americans and international travelers refuse to fly because of the mess we are in, what will happen next?
I suppose we'll start lynching Politicians... and that I hope is enough for someone to Tip me to TSA... so I can't fly anymore.
No your actually right. Thats why networks are supposed to have redundancy and distributed network connections. If one fails a backup is in place to re-route traffic to its end point destination.
The problem that is clear in this case is that there is in no way shape or form in creating a "DDoS protest" license for any particular situation because of the mass complexity of the internet. I've in some cases tested connection routes for businesses and discovered that in some cases packets go through routes out of state then back into state, then BACK out of state before reaching its destination. Its really messed up how routing happens. Thats why we have network protocols that are designed to handle this type of scenario.
Its funny how DDoS has come about over the past 10 years. I almost feel like it was yesterday when I first heard of DDoS attacks, and yet today our network infrastructure hasn't improved to deal with these DDoS attacks any better than they were handled 10 years ago. One company I contracted for, our only solution was to just unplug the server until all the attack stopped. Of course employees still couldn't use the internet because the attacks were still running, but at least the server wasn't melting.
I think that is one of the reasons why Load Balancing came about, so that Slashdot/Digg/4Chan/Reddit bombardments could be handled better. LoL
So in your words, the company didn't violate the CC-NC license?
Look, the artist has photography with a clear license agreement attached to the images. If a company goes off, and takes those images, replicates them for commercial use, and even "includes" the CC license in the 'pirated' images, then... the company itself already violated the agreed contract when they siphoned the images off the internet. (whether agreeing or not to the CC terms, they clearly knew about it, and just ignored the terms)
To me, small claims court would instantly rule in favor of the plaintive because the commercial use was a violation of the original use of the imagery.
Plus if you send the invoice to the company (certified letter), they don't respond within 30 days, you have the right to sue them. Whether they disagreed to the CC license terms, they took and used the artists imagery without permission.
If a company can outright sue me for doing the same to them, then so be it. the same level of protections for those assholes should be afforded to the individual as well.
Just like recent articles where independent musicians have caught the Music industry not paying them for their royalties or for the fair use of their music without agreeing to the terms of the original artist. I've already read about how the RIAA basically gives the big middle finger to the little unsigned bands. Even if they(RIAA) steal the music and sell it on compiled demo discs, the independent artists have the right to counter sue the industry for their copyrighted material.
The law in effect backfired for the RIAA and the music production companies that misused small band's materials. The law can't only be used by the big boys in the industry. which was why I jumped for joy when I read about a small band winning a court case to C&D a music publishers business because the company made thousands in profit but never paid a dime to the band.
1. Nerd... (check)
2. Outdoors... (love camping for months)... (check)
3. Broke as shit... (check)
4. Can go by any name... (double check)
5. slashdot user... (check) thus meaning I can't be away from a computer for too long.
and I don't believe any backlash will ever occur because the users/management don't know how the network works. So its a win win situation for the IT Pros.
Management "I can't access facebook, however I noticed you can access that slashdot website of yours."
Me "Yep, because I get news about IT related stuff... facebook is just a waste of productivity time... its your policy!"
Management "oh, yeah. your right... could you add me to the list of allowed users..."
Me "Nope... policy"
Users "aaawwwwwhhh we can't access myspace!"
Me "suck it!"
Users "grumble grumble"
Either way, neither of the other two groups outside of the IT Admin team should be allowed to do anything.... extreme with the network access... and by extreme, social networking.:-)
Plus through my experience, I've seen people use cellphone cameras in court to contest/show proof of their argument. Video is typically video, unless it was obtained through a un-certified means. By this I mean, friend of cellphone owner, downloaded the video, and placed it on a DVD to play in court. Since it was retrieved by a unlicensed professional, the DVD would be inadmissible. But when the owner had the cellphone with her in court, and allowed the judge to review the footage directly, the judge accepted the video verbatim.
In the case of someone owning the video equipment in the car, what is the difference between a police officer's dash cam, versus someone who has their own camera system? (the officer has a License, and is of the Law)
The other day I watched on YouTube how a Sheriff's deputy lied in court over what happened when he arrested a motorist. His word was wrong versus what his dashcam showed. If it wasn't for the woman who hired an attorney and then had the case brought up in court, I think the woman would have lost. Either way. video typically is admissible
HAHAHAHA. So for all those years when I sold AT&T phones and when it came time to have the customer sign the contract terms, I always said... "Basically your signing your soul away to AT&T for two years." Would you like to go over the details of your contract?. Everyone would have a small laugh at my comment, but how true it was...
I used to work for the Rat Shack, I understand the corporate people not understanding wtf they are doing. I'm used to it. Worked for Rat Shack for over 5 years, even during my working for other companies periods I would go back to my old store, and just see what new was happening.
I agree with most other people, Rat Shack has gone from being a reliable parts & knowledge store to a shitty no one has a fucking clue WTF they are doing, selling DVDS/BD and candy store. The quality of the products are the same since 10 -15 years ago. Just new packaging, and plastic. The prices have skyrocketed for stuff that they manufacture on a dimes cost.
The District Management is just a laughing joke. Before I left the last time I left, They had replaced a DM because he was having an affair with a manager in another district... then replaced him with a woman who had no clue how to run a store. (trust me... when a DM asks you (a store employee) why sales are bad, and you give them the logical explanation as to why... then ignores the whole conversation to just say. "We'll your not selling enough cell phones"...
Really... really, I'm not selling enough cell phones compared to the 150% profit gains I make in just helping people by getting them what they came in to the store to get in the first place. Parts and Accessories. Upper management at RadioShack (Tandy... whatever the fuck they wish to call themselves now) have no damn clue... because no one wants to lift a damn finger to get the truth from the people on the ground floor. They spend more time worrying about how the plan-o-gram should look, compared to why they leave expensive items near the front door, and wonder why stuff gets stolen so easily.
I propose we create a government agency to be another agency part of the NSA supervision. While doing so, we can save and monitor the costs structures using our own train financial watchdogs. That way no over spending occurs for this new agency.
I haven't changed my desktop from Vista to Linux yet, because I might return my laptop.
Ahhh... beat that argument. (I still have 3 weeks left on my 30-day return policy)
But seriously... I love my usb ubuntu. Its customized with everything I need when I'm without a computer and need necessary applications. I use mozilla, and openoffice on my ubuntu and windows machines because I can sync the data, bookmarks, etc.
I just have to make sure not to lose the memory key.
By saying the boss would be unnerved by the fact that someone within the company is doing his/her job, and doing it correctly and to the T.
You are right though. The boss would feel threatened that someone within the company is willing to go so far as to note and write everything down. I too did the same thing. My boss was all over my back about making sure I put everything in writing.
But even that doesn't change the fact. Once everything is written down, you can be canned, then the next person can take what you've started, and take full credit/credibility for all the hard work.
All because your attitude was too intimidating for them. I've been in this same situation before. My end result was exactly that. I brought up all the issues I found about the company, and provided solutions in my reports. Instead of being greeted and treated with respect I was laughed at, and then given hell. When I started to make sure the ball was rolling to cover my ass. I was let go.
As for the aftermath, I found out later that they indeed took what I had written down to be policy and effectively implemented everything I was trying to do. Difference. I didn't bring the right attitude. I wasn't willing to take blame for the higher ups' mistakes if things did fail. I mean, why should I take blame for failed compliance because management refused to follow the law even when I was attempting to correct the mistakes. I was given hell, and the next guy took credit for my ideas after I left.

Last I looked, (down) all I saw was, Lindsey Lohan, and Britney Spears in the limelight.

So pirates are more honest than bankers/stock investers/politicians?
That i can believe in!
sleeps with loads of cash under the bed. Then using the money for political means, to seem like a humanitarian...
Somehow its offset somewhere in the equation, but loads of cash under, on, or covering the bed makes it easy to sleep at night.
