I don't think the govt. are dismantling our freedoms purposefully, they are just stupid. One of the main reasons I've heard in support of 42 days was that the police asked for it because they needed it. Well is there anything else they would like with that ? A cold lager or perhaps a nice massage ? I know let's be really nice to them and get all the criminals to form a line with their wrists held out. The police need to get *their* act together, not make us toe their line.
I've even crossed a personal rubicon whereby I now think a Tory govt would be preferable, something I never thought I'd say. Be very carefull, I was around for the start of Thatcher and Blair, and people were saying the same thing about Thatchers govt, and we ended up with Blair. I would rather be run by the communist party, as long as they passed a law to limit any government for 1 year, before a new election has to take place. Or proportional representation. At least we can all be present at the party then.
But no one will give up their cars. They'll blather on about all the alternative things they can burn to keep that damn car on the road. Is there anyone else out there that has already given up on this whole topic, and fully expects a major change in society as a result.
And not all insect populations crash, they sometimes swarm - that is where the real promise lies. I can't walk into a city without thinking of termite mounds, quite sad really.
Let them. Let the price of European and Japanese goods rise so high that they do not export to the USA any more. I've got ten million US manufacturing workers ready to go back to work, and the unions to back them. You're still fucked without exports. Not to mention the inflationary effect of having to keep your prices higher than the Japanese or European - wages rise, goods go up. Unless you think you can pay typical Asian rates to Americans ? If worse comes to worse, the USA has 150,000 men sitting on top of 200 billion barrels of oil in Iraq. Do you really think it prudent that they leave at this time?
Aah, threats, that's the USA I know and love !

Legitimate complaints met with 'fix it yourself' are what push people to OSX. Where they get told it won't be fixed and they can't fix it themselves. Bit of a bind, eh ? Are there any open source drivers for graphic cards in OSX ?
The printing press did relieve us of writing every thing by hand, but that wasn't its major significance. It's biggest benefit was the ability to copy documents quickly and easily, therefore the information in those documents could propagate wider and faster. "Just like the internet!" I hear you cry , yes but with one important difference. TTL The time to live of a printed document is exponentially longer than that of an electronic document. You need a certain amount of stability of information to allow people to act on it. With the internet always being edited, the knowledge isn't static, and becomes essentially unknowable, unless you want to stay glued to the same page hitting Ctrl +R. Those who spend their entire lives in the medium of the internet will be ok, but the occasional user will lose out. I have a black book of unix commands here, and without that, I would have had a hard time running a web server on linux. Using the net to look the commands up is fine, but remembering to copy & paste the answer somewhere safe, then print it out isn't natural. Easier to buy the book.
Personally, I prefer to have a map that doesn't need power or a network. Thats usually a map of a good place to visit. I would also prefer a calculator that doesn't need power or a network, so that it's always ready when I need it. Thoughtfully, I was provided with a brain. So you're claiming that not having to *know* anything is better than not depending on anything ? What's going to happen when the sea level rises and takes out the network, are you going to let the sat nav drive you into the sea ? Any fool can drive a tractor.
I say we go for a controlled shutdown, now. I nearly left it at that then, but I got the better of me. Seriously, we don't know what the tipping point is, and we don't know what effect any changes in CO2 emissions will make at this "late" stage. No-one seems to know what kind of climate we're aiming at (because if we are going to control the climate, may as well do it properly), so just trying to backpedal seems futile. So I say lets keep going and scientifically model then cause something to happen. Start small, then build some confidence in attempting bigger things. Eventually we won't have to worry about the climate changing, because we will decide what happens. Sometimes it's easier to go with the flow...
I wish people would leave the fuckin polar bears out of it. From what I can tell, they have to walk fuckin miles to the edge of the ice sheet to catch seals. If the ice sheets shrink, they won't have to walk so far !
Clearly the.ru TLD is more likely to cause troubles.
Less than 10% of ru domains will cause trouble, you can nearly double that figure for hk.
So irrespective of how many total registered domains there are under either domain, you have a higher percentage chance of hitting a bad site under hk. This only holds true as long as you hit hk sites as equally often as you do ru sites. If domains were bars, then if you found yourself in chinatown, then you would have a fair chance of encountering trouble, because a fifth of all bars in chinatown have trouble. Whereas you stand less chance of trouble in russia, less than 1 in 10. Of course I never even RTFS so what do I know...
I think the listed domains are more likely to be dangerous because the areas they cover are less developed than the western domains, technologically speaking. Hence the owners of said domains are more likely to be switched on the possibilities the internet has to offer, which include taking those western suckers for as much as they can get. As those people are a higher percentage under those domains by self selection, of course the numbers will reflect that. I think as the technology gets more entrenched in those societies, then the numbers will even out, but don't quote me.
I think it's amazing you can fit 2+ GB of data into a 34.8 MB download. That's some compression. the files use Adobe RGB 1998 colour space taking up 2.94GB (ssc2008-11a15.jpg), and when converted to sRGB they take up 2.2GB. It takes the GIMP around 45 seconds to a minute to open these images on a dual quad core xeon with 12GB RAM. See.sig Just for fun I'm rendering this image as a sphere ! 5 minutes so far, and it's at 25%...
So the fun is in finding the evidence for that, and then hacking into it. Maybe the breakout attempt will cause the event, who knows, but there must be some leakage of energy (information) from the "outside". Oh, not you again Q !

Doesn't affect me in Pine. Phish that, Phuckphace.
The reason the Tardis is bigger on the inside is because it's easier to film in than a wardrobe.
How much of it can you remember when you are out with your gf ? /. after all.

If it can run well in a 4 mbps setting then it could be sent using DVB-T. Be just like satellite but cheaper.
