But these are not religious qualities--they are HUMAN qualities. People did the things above because they were human, and they wanted to, and the religion was just an excuse to do it.
Incorrectimundo! The bible codifies slavery, the invasion of foreign lands and murder of non-believers, and capital punishment toward homosexuals. The holy scripture of the 3 major religions purport the above to be the commandment of God.
Alternately, some people claim the account in Genesis is metaphorical. Now I'm not arguing that it definitely is or isn't, but your argument seems to be that if it is metaphorical, it's untrustworthy in some absolute sense.
The book is purported to be the word of god; why is god speaking in metaphor? Why was man created too stupid to comprehend the true creation story? Where's the magic decoder ring that tells us which of the other stories are metaphor and which are not (those that purport to describe a "chosen" race; those that accept slavery as a moral act; those that enforce homophobia as a commandment)? And even as a metaphor, why is Genesis such a poor and internally inconsistent metaphor: man is eternally punished for committing an act of evil at a time in which the story tells us that man literally doesn't have the capacity to understand evil; why is the Serpent making the rounds in the Garden of Eden, how is it "paradise" if el Diablo is roaming around being all "what's up, shitheads?" Why is the omnipotent creator unaware of what's about to unfold?
Linksys thing was causing a world of trouble - luckily it was set to the default username and password otherwise we might have had difficulty grabbing the MAC Address of it.
You need the username and password of the gateway in order to run: "arp -a" from a computer that's connected to it?
A variant would work if all browser user were technical enough to download and install a browser, that is a central in house downloadable copy with that root installed in the browser.
That only works if you're also fine with local users having the privileges to install software on their workstations. So you're only trading one security issue for another.
FTFP: "Any cost-neutral, or at least cost-conscious solutions out there that don't involve manually distributing your certificates and CRL to every workstation in the company? Thanks."
Before snarking on the FP author, perhaps you should actually read the FP's question?
So a login script (or in a Microsoft environment, an AD group policy) that distributes the certificate automatically to each computer meets your definition of "manual distribution?"
Really? That's what you're saying? "Automatic" and "manual" are synonyms in your universe? wow.
After all, it's much warmer where I am right now than it was at the same time 4 years ago. 4 years ago in my region, we had a blizzard on Thanksgiving. This year, it's about 50F. Clearly, the globe is warming uncontrollably, and since we all know CO2 emissions are causing climate change, CO2 emissions must have gone up.
(No, I'm not being serious)
While you're not being serious, you are being wholly dishonest and wholly inaccurate in your portrayal of the argument presented by global-warming proponents. It's akin to the Fox News assholes gleefully commenting on the storm that hit DC last winter, stating that Al Gore had been proven wrong, because it snowed. In D.C.. In the winter.
Whoa boy, you really zinged me with that one, AC.
All I'm saying is, when I see a Roomba, I think "Sure, the room looks great, but man is this thing lousy at giving decent head."
If 3D depth perception can correct this design flaw, then I know where I'm putting my R&D money. Capiche?
Once we have all three of these systems, it should not be all that hard to link them together and start actually doing useful things with robots in our homes. Even just the first two would make it possible useful cleaning and sentry robots.
We theoretically approach useful home robotics, and your first thought is cleaning? Followed by sentry duties? What about the ole in-out-in-out, man? Where in the hell are your priorities? "Cleaning." I swear some people are just too happy to announce to the world "Hey, look at me! I have zero sense of imagination! Look how practical I am!"
What a pilot can do with a knife or a bomb is absolutely meaningless compared to what he can do without one.
No crap, brainiac. That's precisely the scenario I didn't describe.
He can already kill everyone on board and thousands of other people if he wants to without a damn box cutter, so why the hell would he bring one?
Again, that's precisely the scenario I didn't describe.
So let's break down what I actually did say. I know comprehension of 1 sentence is a lot to ask:
"a pilot who is sympathetic to the cause,"
Meaning, a pilot who isn't going to crash a plane that he's piloting, but is willing to assist co-conspirators in crashing a different plane.
"couldn't bring weapons through security and pass them off to his co-conspirators so that they could use said weapons on a different plane"
Also meaning, a pilot who isn't going to crash a plane that's he's piloting, but is willing to assist co-conspirators in crashing a different plane.
This really isn't all that complicated of a scenario, and is precisely why pilots are scanned for weapons.
That a pilot who is sympathetic to the cause, couldn't bring weapons through security and pass them off to his co-conspirators so that they could use said weapons on a different plane. It's just unthinkable, and you're a super-genius.
I'm sitting this one out, and possibly 2012 as well. Voting for the guy or gal that lies the least still means I'm supporting a liar. The very nature of politics nowadays automatically means someone with enough clout to run for election is unfit to serve...
I love the fake premise that I'm voting for someone who "lies the least." Give me a break, even if you disagree with both major parties, they represent different legislative agendas. Example: Is Harry Reid ineffectual as a Majority Leader? Yes. Is he the one promising to kill Social Security and telling girls raped by their fathers to "make lemonade" of the situation? No.
Don't like the candidates in the general? Then get involved in the primaries. Otherwise, STFU.
Promiscuous mode just means that the network interface is capturing all of the traffic in the air, even traffic not addressed to its MAC. WEP/WPA doesn't make a difference, regarding the ability to collect that traffic.
If you have the WEP key, you're easily able to decrypt that network traffic with no extra effort.
WPA-PSK makes it a bit more difficult; you have to be able to capture the 4-way handshake when the client first connects to the AP, but in the given scenario of a public wifi hotspot with a password posted on the wall, this really isn't an issue.
WEP is cracked in SECONDS; failing that, POSTING the network password (WEP, or PSK-WPA) on the wall allows any malicious customer to use said password to decrypt any other customer's wifi traffic.
You're advocating a false sense of security. Please stop, before someone unwittingly follows your technical advice.
By the way, what are these "costs" that you're talking about? Every wifi router in the last decade allows some type of WPA/WEP/whatever encryption. There is no cost involved in setting up WPA/WEP and then putting a sign up in your cafe that says "THE WIFI PASSWORD IS 'P@SSWORD'". Problem solved. Are you really suggesting there is any cost/benefit comparison that would find that trivial action too costly for the return?
A WEP or PSK-WPA password is going to do absolutely nothing to prevent a malicious individual from sniffing network traffic at a wifi hotspot. By friggin definition of there being a SINGLE PRE-SHARED KEY, the malicious individual can automatically decrypt the traffic. Sweet Jesus.

Seriously, a two minute read would have informed you that it's not a substance that anyone is going to be drinking without immediately purging. But nooooooo, you had to post this drivel for my eyes to process, thus robbing me of time I could have better spent at xhamster. Thanks a bunch.
but don't believe that your business should be held accountable to the laws of that state? Really?
As for your refrain: You have representation at the Federal level, wheras the Fed regulates "interstate commerce."
You keep mentioning "no taxation without representation" in comment after comment, because you don't live in North Carolina, but the issue in question is specifically about North Carolina trying to collect sales tax from North Carolina residents.
From the friggin judgment:
As part of an audit of Amazon, the DOR, whose secretary is Defendant Lay, sent a
request on December 1, 2009 to Amazon seeking “‘all information for all sales to customers with
a North Carolina shipping address by month in an electronic format for all dates between August
1, 2003, and February 28, 2010.”
So I honestly ask: what on earth are you babbling about? Or do you just like citing 'Merican phrases at random regardless if they're appropriate to the circumstances in question?
Voting machines are not supposed to have any information about the voter. This is known as Secret Ballot
Too bad the post you replied to was making a joke about the voter writing themselves in as a -- get this -- write-in candidate. So good job on the pedantry; hopefully your reading comprehension skills will someday come to match it.
In the begining of the third film Marty is at his highschool and he realizes the name has been changed.
The beginning of the third film doesn't start with Marty anywhere near his high school, nor was the high school named after a dead teacher; a ravine was named after the dead teacher.
Then Doc and Marty have a conversation about how Marty noticed already the highschool was renamed."
Meanwhile, the "organic food" folks insist that food must be grown using only slightly modified classical techniques, for a variety of reasons from vitamin density (overstated relative to studies, at best), to mystical mumbo jumbo like vibrations and auras.
Give me a break. the issue that the "organic food" folk are concerning about is farm animals being pumped full of antibiotics because they're crammed into confined places in which their walking on, breathing in, and ingesting fecal matter and the remains of other dead animals.
This has nothing to do with "vibrations", "auras", or any such bull that you pulled out of your ass, and the fact that you have to lie about the viewpoint that you oppose speaks volumes.
If you started with open office, there would be no problem with transferring it from word.
Until a member on the board of directors, a vendor, a lawyer, or anyone else on the outside world emails said manager a Microsoft Word document, your argument fails hard. But what are the odds of any of the former situations happening?

What the hell movie did you watch?
No you failed. From Wikipedia:
The production of butanol by biological means was first performed by Louis Pasteur in 1861.
That Butanol would have done him a lot of good in 1855.
