Go to prison. I read somewhere that it will be an offence to not carry your new ID card at all times, and fineable to not update the authorities in a timely manner if you move house. So they can stop you at any time and have a ready excuse for the intrusion. Just say no and mean it. I hope enough people will resist so that prison becomes unfeasable. This techno equivalent of an ID tattoo must be resisted. I am not a slave, and I am not a piece of inventory. I will not be catalogued.
How about you ?
This is all over and above the fact that WE are paying to build this shit, and then WE will have to pay to abide by it, and WE are the ones going to suffer because of it. And who profits ? Only those who built the system. Somewhere there is an asshole lobbyist who someday will pay for the crimes against the people in the name of corporate gain.
Of course, if the people of this country deal with the problem like they deal with everything else these days, ie. put it off 'till tomorrow, then we're going to be too late.
You'll notice that the diesels have 40% larger engines here.It would have been nice to see the power produced for both types of engine, to get an idea what we got back for the emissions. The other key words for me are:
If we take an average of all of the petrol cars and all of the diesel cars on sale today the average petrol car produces 214g/km of CO2 whilst the average diesel produces just 169g/km of CO2. However this tends to under estimate the performance of petrol vehicles as high performance (and therefore high CO2 emitting vehicles) are petrol not diesel.
High performance engines always perform badly in urban situations. Is it wise to keep buying them ? Also the PM (particulate matter) issue with diesels is pretty much solved and the NOx issue is getting better (Euro 5).
You are not liable for anything your users do on the network. If you are operating a service like youtube, you'd have a DMCA takedown request.
Yeah, but if you saw subby's email address, you'd see his "organization" is the West Virginia government, so I'd wager things might be a little more complicated for him.
Which is probably why the communication is so polite... I would imagine the RIAA would be polite to a govt. dept. too.
That's right, they thought his stuff was great. It meant they could work out exactly when easter was which made life much easier for them. Previously, easter kept migrating through the year because their calculations were based on the moon (or something like that). It was the greater issue of people using his work to fight the churches control of ideas that caused the crackdown.
Well the phone companies didn't prevent anybody running new copper to each house, but they were still instructed to allow other companies to use their lines. Sometimes there is more to it than pure competition.
".....could keep lead out of landfills and the ecosystem, they say."
-Because everybody knows lead isn't from the environment.
Yeah like coal and oil aren't from the environment either, oh wait, they are found deep underground below the water we drink, and definitely not in the air we we breathe. But now we are into the area of the ecosystem, you know, the area where we all live. If dumping lead into a landfill caused it to return to it's natural state (ore) then it would be fine, but that doesn't happen does it. Plastic is a natural product by those terms, it comes from oil. But we have to process the oil to make plastic, and burying it in the ground doesn't make it turn back into oil and go back down a few km underground.
You take what you know in that sentence and that gives you some idea of what it is that you don't know is related to. If the knowledge is necessary for you to have, you investigate further. If you don't care, don't bother investigating. Either way, expecting to have every little term laid out for you in order for your lazy ass to get it, is not going to get you very far.
I suspect from your low uid that you're trolling anyway. I'm 42 and have known what an EVA in the context of space flight has meant for roughly 38 years. I find it hard to accept that in all the time you have been registered here that you have NEVER seen the term EVA used. So maybe you think you are doing people a service by hopefully getting/. to do what you ask. Well, no actually you're not. Maybe you don't see the need to encourage people to use their brains independently, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. The more you learn, the more you remember. If you don't bother learning, then you end up asking the same questions over and over again.
It's a life choice. Be happy being ignorant, but pissing people off with stupid questions, or you can use your own resources, learn something and so not depend on others for your information (as far as possible). If you are the latter pretending to be the former, you are the former.
Where do you get "vigilantes" from ? Vigilantes are traditionally people who operate outside the law. Nothing done by either the Post or Security Fix was outside the law. They did nothing more than I do when I notice one IP address has been hammering my SSH port for a few hours. I copy the relevant logs and show it to the abuse admin at the owner of that IP block. They even ask you to do that* ! Maybe you don't include running a botnet in "abuse" but the rest of us do.
I repeat, how do you get "vigilantes" out of that ? I could understand it if the researchers cut the fibre leading to the building, but reporting the malicious activity to the persons who were carrying it ? I also would prefer it if you used the term IPP (internet presence provider) rather than ISP, as ISPs usually provide connectivity whereas IPPs provide hosting. They are not always the same (type of) organisation. No ISPs suffered through this action as they were the ones taking action, in fact their "tubes" were probably a bit less clogged as a result.
Get a grip ! Anyway, if you were unlucky enough to be using McColo for hosting, then I wouldn't suggest you trust the integrity of your own sites or machines. Better off moving hosts and using verified backups.

I winced when I read that. Actually I winced as soon as the word "martyr" was mentioned. These so called martyrs, are only symptoms of the greater issue. The section I have quoted addresses none of that greater issue, instead preferring to believe that some how the issue is that you are misunderstood, and all it takes is to nay-say the opposition. Has anybody considered the fact that there may be some responsibility for the problem in your nations actions ? Because if not, you're not addressing the issue, just trying to smooth it over and hope it goes away.
I know these weren't your words (allegedly) I'm just saying.
You come home one day and find 3 armed men in your house. You ask them to leave and they refuse, saying that you're are just trouble making and borderline nuts. You try to fight them off of your property and they take that as proof that you are mad. In the meantime they have eaten all your food, broken all your gadgets and siphoned all your cash into their accounts. So one day you say fuck it, find out where THEY live and go round to smash a few windows. Then they complain because they weren't doing anything wrong and now you've smashed their windows. Now they're gonna teach you a lesson, explaining their actions as "self-defence" and dismissing your protests as lies designed to draw attention away from the real issue.
See what you want to see, but don't expect it to line up with the truth. You have never had a mainland invasion in the USA, so you could be excused for not knowing how pissed off people get when it happens to them. You cannot be excused if you handwave the objections away, and you cannot be surprised when certain people take the fight to you.
I'm just waiting for someone to say "they made me do it !" It's like world politics played under the "Thank you sir, may I have another" rules of engagement.
Yeah, bag on the Americans. It's the popular thing to do.
Who of course, would NEVER spy on another country. That's without the whole ying and yang stuff. What do you think happens when a country is so strong that it has no competitors ? It either invents some, or with all its paranoid machinery of war having nowhere to act out externally, turns that machinery to point inward. How's that working out for you ? If the Chinese are prevented from being a threat, then who is going to get the feds off YOUR back ? Then while you're busy ripping yourselves apart from the inside, the unseen competitor makes their move. This is not conjecture, it has been seen time and time again throughout history.
IMHO, the reason the UK is in a similar state is due to being in the US pocket. We can't piss you off coz you have all the money, and the power, but that means accepting your "life style" and the ludicrous commercialism that goes with it. To make us appear to be tough, our govt. acts tough on the world stage, while really they can hardly afford to persecute us, let alone start and finish a real war. However, persecuting the natives is cheaper, and it's inline with the US, so that gets done first. Also, the UK govt. has to protect your commercial interests, or you'll take the money away.
I think the only answer is a retreat from nationalism. We do have only 1 planet after all. Just foaming at the mouth about traitors doesn't help matters, it's all part of the game. You can't win against nature, but humans have proved that you can sidestep it. That of course is a pipe dream. However, I do believe that ultimately there will be a world government, and it will be socialist. It will have to be, as it will hold the fate of every person on the planet in its hands. Not to be trusted to capitalism IMHO. They can't even run a damn bank.
How is a ballistic signature taken by the manufacturer bad ? Were you hoping to get a 100% virgin gun for your next kill ? I can't see any issue with that at all. The only time the authorities would need to get a match on the ballistics is if they found a bullet in a person or nearby after a malicious shooting. They aren't going to be collecting ballistics from bullets found at the range just for something to do. Cameras and typewriters are used for innocent activities most of the time. The only time they are investigated is in forensics where they have been used in a crime. A bullet is only usually tested for ballistics after someone has died from its impact. If you didn't shoot the gun, why are you worried ? And that is not the "if you have nothing to hide" argument. A gun is used to kill. That is its designed purpose. If you don't shoot at a person, you have nothing to fear. I don't care if you have a "right" to bear arms. You don't have a right to be completely anonymous when you kill someone, especially in a country that has shooting as a large fraction of its violent death statistics.
I'm not sure, but I think they have the best burger of all time... or not, I haven't checked yet. I've heard it's a bit gamey, like rabbit, or some other small mammal.
Why not have a program ? It could log every tower, geo-locate and pin point their positions, then upload the details to a central server. Then everybody would know where every tower was. Those that weren't owned by a cell phone company would soon stand out.
I used MediaPortal for a while on XP but all my media files are on a linux box. I have drive Z: mapped to the linux server and I can always access the files from explorer. However, MediaPortal almost always fails to read the network drive. When it works it's great, but if it doesn't it's worthless (for me). I have since removed it from the system, and gone back to using my clunky system of a firefox live bookmark pointing to playlists, which are then played using VLC, and that always works. It is all controlled by my tv cards remote too. I would use mythTV but my tv cards have a proprietary remote that has its IR receiver plugged directly into the card. LIRC can't communicate using that, so myth is on hold until I find a way around it. I'm using DigiTV cards BTW. Nice cards but not supported by the manufacturer anymore. I can record as many muxes simultaneously as I have cards in the system. That works out to needing 4 or 5 cards to record the whole gamut of available DVB-T channels, all at the same time. I would probably need faster drives to do that though !
If the universe we inhabit formed at all, then it did so as a natural process. But nature doesn't do "one offs" so theoretically there is likely to be more than one "universe". That theory would also allow an answer to "where did the big bang take place". Just because we can't measure or observe anything outside our own universe, does not preclude the existence of other universes. Considering that not long ago (universally speaking) we thought the earth was the centre of everything, ignoring the possibility of other universes is extremely short sighted. That is not to say that knowing another universe exists is useful in this universe, but who knows. Maybe inter-universe communication is possible. That could conceivably have a great deal of value. If you take the existence of the heliopause around our solar system, is it not possible that there may be a "unipause" around this universe, the existence of which precludes observation by us of the situation outside its perimeter. In short, to say there is only this universe is illogical. The content of the universe must have come from somewhere. Even stars do not create substance, they just change certain chemicals into others.
Excuse the use of the word universe. Multiverse makes an assumption, and multiples cannot really be termed "uni" unless you're talking about uni-cycles. Maybe system would be better, solar system on a small (!) scale and mega system on a (currently) universe sized scale. I still entertain the notion that the whole of existence as we are capable of knowing it, exists in a petri dish. It's not scientific, but it makes as much sense as any big bang theory that neglects to state where the big bang took place. Dark matter deals with the continued expansion of the universe but seeks to explain why it is still accelerating with only the amount of visible or accountable matter we calculate composes the universe. However, if something outside the universe were sucking material out (think inverted black hole), then we don't need dark matter to explain the discrepancies in mass. This of course cannot be proved using conventional science only observed, which cannot be done either so dream on.
Why does anybody assume that more physical effort means more food required ? Given that a large proportion of people are medically obese, I would argue that food consumption would not rise at all. In fact, eating better usually means you eat less anyway. I'm not talking about antarctic walking expeditions where high calorie intake is essential, just riding a bike. Most effort is expended getting it moving initially, once you're rolling it is quite easy (we have things called gears these days). If these lard arses were to cycle instead of using the car, tonnes of CO2 from fossil fuels would not enter the atmosphere. That is a net fall in CO2 emission. Add to that the costs involved with all other aspects of driving, and other areas could benefit from that greater efficiency too. Maybe that alone won't make a difference to the future condition of the planet, but combined with all the other measures that can be taken, it certainly will.
I'm not entirely sure my calculations are correct, but the stoichiometric (ideal air/fuel) mixture for an ICE is roughly 14.7:1 So for every gallon of fuel, your car is using up just under 3 gallons* of free oxygen and spitting out toxic gases in return. A highly tuned ICE will use roughly 1.67 cubic feet of air per minute for every unit of horsepower that it produces. If you have a 200hp engine, it is sucking in 334 cubic feet of air per minute (at full throttle - the larger the car, the more power needed to keep it moving without using full throttle). That's just a pollution making machine. Take a million cars on the road at once, and that's a lot of air we are stuffing through (and stripping of useful O2) just to travel in ease and comfort. Take the figure to be 20 million and you are sucking in 6.75 billion cubic feet of air PER MINUTE. (That's equivalent to 104 New York Giants stadiums per minute) Even 20 million vehicles is an under estimate of simultaneous traffic worldwide. That is not sustainable when we are constantly reducing the amount of oxygen producing life available. I would rather breathe than drive. Yeah you can demonstrate anything with statistics, but those are some large figures for just one type of machine.
* I used a figure of 20% for the oxygen ratio in the atmosphere.
