There can't ever be a lawyer for every person. Because the lawyers are technically people too, so they'd have lawyers, and that series doesn't converge.
Yes, but then you have to install gcc, build-essential, and the package source. As well as any dependencies that weren't covered by build-essential. And removing packages that were all nicely included in a stub is not so simple as checking one box and clicking uninstall (hint: it only uninstalls the stub, not any of the dependences)
So if you want to get your space back after you're done, you've got to go on an all-night fest of figuring out what's not needed and pruning it manually.
And worse, sometimes the packages require patches before compiling, or appear to be inferior versions to the updater after you've installed, so you've gotta be careful lest you "update" to the version you were trying to fix in the first place.
Compiling from source in Ubuntu is viable, but it's still quite inelegant.
If you're using gnome, you can use gksudo to get a graphical sudo. Synaptic, and the updater in Ubuntu use a graphical password entry to perform their tasks, but I'm not advanced enough to know how to apply this to various menu options. I suspect you can set it up by editing the entry in whatever table all the menu programs are stored in.
To be fair, the State dept. comes precompromised. That's what you get when you hire foreign nationals, communists and spies: The sincere Chamberlains are just elbowed out of the way. so I fail to see how a lil' word bug could make things any worse.
On the other hand, where are the kids getting the money for this stuff? Parents who just let their kids have money unaccounted for are irresponsible. Allowences should be enough to buy candy, or if saved carefully, perhaps a toy. It's supposed to teach them about money management: that buying things mean you can't have other things. It's not supposed to be a blanket authority to just do anything they can afford.
Indeed, if by "a few types of radiation" you mean, "no types of radiation at all." since a spacecraft megnetosphere only affects charged particles and plasmas. And doesn't technically deflect anything away, but instead traps stuff. causing the particles to precipitate at specific locations (which can be more heavily shielded) at the poles.
What's happening here is that people are talking past each other, because some people are being sloppy with their use of language and don't want to admit it.
The misunderstanding that is occurring here is that some people are using 'average income' to mean 'the income of the average person' rather than 'the average income of all the people.' It's a common linguistic sloppiness, and needs no justification other than, "I was being linguistically sloppy."
No one can argue that mean income is a more useful metric than median income for discussing how many of X product will sell of product that's intended to be purchased by individuals. Yet for some reason people have tried...
I had indeed heard of it. That was the hack. It's a third party site to set up your repository list. It's ok if you trust third parties to do that sort of thing, (it output shell commands when I used it, so you could inspect those) but it's another thing you have to do.
Ubuntu has Synaptic. Just click the check-boxes for whatever repositories you want. Even the suspect ones. I do wish they had finer control though: I'd like some kind of assurance I'm not going to accidentally pick up a multiverse update for a package that's in base, or the ability to ignore specific updates for packages I've compiled from source.
Actually.. Mandrake used to be the "desktop linux for people who aren't experts." I remember buying my first copy of it in Best Buy about 7 years ago. Came with a good deal of documentation, and worked pretty well right outta the box. I think it was somewhat of a Red Hat fork at the time (it used RPM, and claimed to use DEB too IIRC, but I don't remember trying anything but RPM.) During the time when Red Hat was a bear to download (at my university connection, it would've taken me weeks to get the ISO) the next version of Mandrake was a quick 2-hour d/l away.
Anyway, I've always found Mandrake easy to configure (with their drake- graphical utilities). In some ways it was easier than Ubuntu. It certainly had a friendlier (though not easier) install process. Drakedisk was the most intuitive, stable, and asthetically pleasing graphical partition manager I've used. It was far better than Ubuntu's offering in that area.
The thing that Ubuntu did better than mandrake enough to make me switch though was package management. Mandrake had OK management, actually, good management for the pay-version, but the free version had to either hack something together to use their freely accessable but intended for-pay package servers or hunt down updates for every package manually.
Norplant, "the pill," condoms, and other forms of contraception are contrary to your proposition of improving the gene pool by promiscuity. You can't improve the gene pool without having children. Unless you've got inferior genes...
No one moderating this forum has a "time of the month." Further, what's with all the "time of the month" jokes over the past 24 hours? It's like all of a sudden we've got a new class of the low class.
You do know that that's about the worst thing you can do with asbestos. The main problem with asbestos has always been for the people working with it. It doesn't really cause any additional risk as long as you don't poke it. If it makes you nervous, you should really hire a professional to do the work, and get it done as quickly as possible.
If I were you, I'd move. You've probably dustified enough asbestos in the removal process to the point that your risk is orders of magnitude higher than if you'd just let it be.
Union seniority rules weed out the competent and intelligent long before they reach levels of compensation and responsibility commensurate with ability.
An anecdote proving my point did you say? That'd be the best evidence? Well sure, I've got one in my personal experience even: my HS computer teacher. Who'd apparently actually studied computer science in college. So we were actually learning about algorithms and structures and the meat of programming...
He taught the upper-level computer courses for all of one year. At which point a more senior teacher with no actual experience ("I'm learning C with you," she said...) decided she wanted the HS job. He ended up teaching remedial math, being completely unappreciated there, and I think he's no longer teaching now. We ended up taking quizzes on windows behavior and wondering why we didn't just take band instead.
No. You don't have the right to throw anything at anybody. Especially during a riot when tensions are high. Throwing stuff in a riot is functionally equivalent to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater. The crowd does what it does, but if someone throws an egg, someone else might think it's ok to throw a rock, then someone else might throw a bigger rock, then maybe the guy with the molitov will see his opportunity to sneak it in under the hail of small rocks.
The only point I was addressing was whether handguns were useless. The police on the ground would've been using handguns, too, so regardless of who was firing them, handguns are what caused him to fire from more conservative positions, which is a kind of 'pinning down' called area denial.
It doesn't have to have that kind of range. And you don't have to hit anyone to pin them down. In fact, if you do hit them, you've advanced from mere pinning down, to neutralizing threat.
All they had to do was be a threat, making him keep his head down. A handgun does not have the accuracy to hit a person at that distance unless you're really lucky, or a trained marksman with extensive modifications, but it certainly has the range if all you need is for the bullets to travel the distance.
I'm going to quote the wiki, despite the obvious reservations:
Once Whitman began facing return gunfire from the authorities, he used the waterspouts on each side of the tower as turrets, which allowed him to continue shooting while largely protected from the gunfire below, which had grown to include civilians who had brought out their personal firearms to assist police.
So it seems that, although the civilians' actions may not have been the sole reason, gunfire from the ground did cause him to take a more defensive posture, with it's intendant limitations on potential targets.
Well... in the towns where it's been tried, the death rates have gone down, so perhaps until we actually try this on at least one campus (and even just one campus really isn't enough to gather any meaningful statistics), we won't really know. The number of people who have a desire to shoot/kill people is astonishingly low, especially when you consider all the non-restricted ways in which one person can kill/maim another individual and which are also found on college campuses.
Of course, you could just hole up in the "guns are bad" knee-jerk opinion and never actually try to find out. In which case, I suggest installing 5mph governors on all motor vehicles, filling in all swimming pools and buckets larger than a fist with sand and covering that with turf, requiring all furniture larger than a person to be made by Nerf, and require extensive licensing for possession of kitchen related appliances and tools.
Just because guns are present and anger is present, doesn't mean the guns will be fired in anger, any more than everyone who fights in a kitchen gets stabbed, or anyone who fights in a parking lot gets run over.
Mod parent down. You can indeed do this. They superimposed rectified quarter-phase signals. In fact, it is a pretty common effect that has been known about since at least the invention of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier>rectifier.
Long story short: a full-wave rectified sine wave will have 2x the frequency of the original. Even if the original is a PURE SINE WAVE. The output however is no longer a pure sine wave. You can get a pure sine wave if you have the right filters, but you're going to lose quite a bit of gain.
No amount of filtering can extract a "higher harmonic" from a pure sine wave. Perhaps you could filter out any harmonic frequency you desired from a square wave, or sawtooth wave, but it's going to have terrible gain, and I don't think that's what they did: a square wave superimposed with itself pi out of phase and rectified is a constant voltage.
You assume it penetrates 3cm because of high power levels. It's entirely possible for the skull to be transparent enough at the frequencies they are using that not much power is needed at all. Perhaps not much more than the amount received in those bands from natural sources.
Though the specific power levels are not mentioned in TFA, the fact that it's a handheld device and requires a shroud lends credence to that idea.
Although this is a US-centric website, I wouldn't change my habits re: word choice unless there was a clear problem with understanding or I just wanted to practice writing prose in American English.
Most of us can understand you guys pretty well; the language isn't so different to preclude easy communication.
This side of the pond, we usually say 'lend to', and 'borrow from' exclusive of each other. But you were quite clear when you said 'borrow out.' I suppose it could be different if you'd used something more ambiguous, like expressing a wish to 'hire a cab' or insisted on referring to steak fries as 'chips' or tried to claim british cooking was materially better than scottish cooking...

And you did this with a pre-existing XP partition? Or you installed XP on a virtual partition?
Also, you got good performance on your games? How?
If you've got this working well, there are a lot of people who'd like to know exactly what you did.
