Also, car seats suck because they remove parental responsibility
Last I heard, car seats weren't designed to teach moral values, safe conduct in public, and act as a knowledgeable friend. If you're happy for some advertising company to "educate" your child on what's right and wrong, because it means you can abdicate some responsibility, then I'm not sure I'm gonna like your kids attitude when they grow up. You could augment your presence with a camera and keyboard logger too - after all they're only tools.
Works fine for me , no plugin required. FC5 FF2 Have you got any graphics apps on the system ? I have gimp but no plugins for FF. You are using the links in the summary right ? It is in HTML anyway.
I note that your homepage is a commercial website that uses PayPal as its payment system. If we're throwing accusations about, I'd say you have a vested interest in PayPal not looking bad.
Yes that's true. However, the *facts* remain - your post spreads misinformation, my post redresses that. As for you not knowing what the current situation viz Paypal is, well maybe you shouldn't post on a subject where you know nothing about the current situation, or at least make allowance in your post for the fact that things might have changed.
Personally, I still won't touch them with a barge pole; others can judge for themselves.
Well that is your prerogative, but at least the *others* have access to more than just the current scuttlebutt.
I think that all ISPs should allow a certain amount of email traffic per hour. If the limit is exceeded, then outbound email is blocked until the user manually enters a password on the ISPs web site. The password would have to be retrieved from (a different page of) the ISPs web site, where the user would be informed of the outgoing message headers that caused the over-run of the quota. Hopefully the user might actually deal with the local infection quicker.
Here is the first page customers get when using Paypal as a payment gateway. Is it so hard to find the non paypal account option ?
Also, notice the writing at the bottom of the page - Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom as an electronic money institution. Just for completeness, here is the second page you get to if you choose non paypal. Oh, seems like that's pretty straightforward too. Maybe you're just a troll.
A lot of spiders webs have blobs of goo every so often along any particular stretch of silk. The surface tension of the blob of goo pulls the nearest sections of silk inside the blob and so pulls the line taught. When the prey impacts the web, the silk inside the blob is stretched out and this absorbs the stress, so that the web doesn't break.
Just imagine for a moment that the US is still part of the British Empire. Well you guys are fed up with the way things are going and want to fight for your independence. Political means have failed, and your only recourse is to physically revolt, and resort to armed struggle. Do you still think having cameras controlled by the security forces, on every street corner is a good thing ?
Now imagine Germany in the 1930s. Same situation, cameras controlled by security forces on every street corner. Only the security forces are the SS and Gestapo. Do you still think it's a good idea ?
Just because you live in a favorable political climate at present doesn't mean it will always be that way. And by submitting to this overbearing surveillance, you are making the *real* bad guys* jobs easier. * Meaning the tyrant waiting in the wings.
The Future: You are catalogued with RFID and DNA, you are monitored via your pc, your Tivo, and your phone, and you can't take a right turn on the way to work where you normally turn left, because that violates your normal routine and is therefore suspicious and worthy of investigation. Welcome to your brave new police state, where if you've got nothing to hide, you've got no life other than unquestioning servitude to the state.
BTW, the police were not established to prevent crime. They were set up to catch offenders after a crime had taken place. By allowing them to *prevent* crime you are giving them a free pass to control everyone - innocent or otherwise. What's legal today, might not be tomorrow.
After all, the HST needed unanticipated 'eyeglasses' before IT was fully operational (and even then they still had to do lots of software correction afterward).
WTF has Hubble got to do with it ? The problem with Hubble was physical, the mirror was distorted. Why was it distorted ? Well it was sat waiting to get launched for so long because of delays with the shuttle (due to a fairly high profile accident), and gravity did its worst. Open or closed software development would have had identical problems. Of course they might have checked it out before they launched it, but it still has nothing to do with software.
To stand for election, a candidate must submit a nomination paper signed by ten electors* for the constituency and lodge a deposit of £500, which is refundable only if the candidate receives more than 5% of the total votes cast for each candidate at the election.
* electors meaning members of the electorate, ie. general eligible public (for that constituency)
Who's to say that there is only one universe ? (ignoring the pedantic definition of the term).
If the galaxies are to the universe as the universe is to the greater existence of matter, then there are millions of universes. And I'm not talking odd dimensions. As far as we know the universe is infinite right ?, why do we think that ? If we could see the edge of the universe then it can't be infinite can it. And if we can't see the edge, it stands to reason we can't see what lies beyond the edge. So Multiple universes can exist just as multiple galaxies can exist. What we call "the big bang" could be equivalent to a super nova in a galaxy.
So, who says that the "aliens" have had time to explore the inner reaches of "our" universe. It stands to reason that being more advanced should mean being older (as a civilisation), and that would also mean being closer to the beginning of our universe, or in other words nearer the "edge". So they might simply have struck out in a different direction first, into another universe.
For a thought experiment, replace universe with galaxy and galaxy with solar system throughout this comment. I think that there is essentially no difference other than scale.
Or maybe you are of a religious persuasion, and would prefer to think that we are somehow "special" in the universe. I wouldn't like to risk the consequences of such arrogance.
Any subsequent complaints about the fundamental issues with voting machines will be dismissed by the public as whining from a group who are just looking for any excuse to go on protesting.
Well they could say "we are no longer the knights that say Wijvertrouwenstemcomputersniet, now we are the knights that say We still don't trust voting computers[but in dutch, natch!]"
Somebody could always start the New Wijvertrouwenstemcomputersniet and complain about something else. And given that there are always hacks to get around any security, I can't see them being sidelined for long.
Crackpots and demagogues may say what they wish but their freedom to say so is not accompanied by the right to demand seals of approval for their behaviour.
I'm sure Galileo and Copernicus would feel right at home.
If you get a fat envelope through the post after the fact, does that mean you were paid to write an article ? Or does it mean you have to expose yourself anyway in order to make it clear you didn't solicit the cash ?
Looks like a good way to shut people up without spending any money to me.

Yeah, and it sounds like we're getting a "Ministry of Justice" soon as well. How long until they announce the "Ministry of Truth" ?

Who says it has to be installed ? You can still have a stand alone binary or a shell script.
It's not like it's difficult to package something nefarious as an RPM file or even just gzip it. It just relies on social engineering thats all.Alternatively, 121 peoples pc's were spam zombies and they haven't found out who actually got the money.
And either way, it's money for nothing.CYA when the grid down !
