Since the US Armed Forces, DoD, et al. still use Windows it would be prudent for all of them to employ BitLocker or whole drive encryption even on the unclassified computers. The reason being is that I just made a flash drive today that can still blank out the local system admin password on any windows computer in existance (unless they have BitLocker or TruCrypt).
All true. Everything gets complicated when you factor in the airy discs. Actually, even mentioning it in even a photography class will just get you mostly blank stares even from the professor.
I lay on my horn when people don't get the hint. Its like me smacking them upside the back of the head because even though I honked they still are plowing their car right into the space I am already occupying.
Not all "All Season" tires are created equally. If you live in the cold you can get "All Seasons" that still have a "M+S" raiting for Mud and Snow. It only works with light snow though. Also, you can get really good All Season tires for dry grip too with some of the Toyo Versado tires and the like. They use softer compounds and are H speed rated.
I know photographers who only buy prime L series lenses. If you are willing to pay $1500 - $3000 for each lens and carry a bunch of them or walk to compose a shot then good glass can be had.
Not expectation of privacy. But expecation that somebody won't trespass. It helps if you have "No Trespassing" signs in your front yard but then you start to look a little white trash. However, its not like it is hard for the Police to wait until you go to lunch and then bug your car. And by the way I said that this is how they would rule a long time ago. Since you can follow someone in public without a warrant then you can track their vehicle with electronics without warrant.
Trust me, the CIA can track the money. They have ways. They do it all the time to track the funding of terrorist organizations. If they use a bank then they are hosed. The only way they can successfully launder the money is through bartering transactions where a guy in Saudi Arabia gets $1 million and then he calls his guy in Iran and tells him to give someones daughter 10,000 goats.
Two factor authentication is awesome. However its just not implemented very frequently in turnkey systems. Nable for instance is an enterprise level hosted solution that provides remote access and monitoring. They don't implement two factor authentication that I know of. However they do use two passwords. One for the Nable account and one for the actual system you are remoting into.
I usually put in multiple backdoors. Not out of malicious intent but because I support customers who are so far away that I don't want to drive out there all the time. Now this might include software or even out of band management, VPN, etc. Basically, if you put yourself in a position where you have to fire your IT staff then you are a moron. Always do background checks because you are going to be giving these people the keys to the city.
ACORN was one of those established organizations. It operated for over 30 years. But you cannot simply accept that something should exist simply because that's how we have always done it. What I'm talking about is continuous process improvement. This is historically something Government fails at but it is needed. ACORN needed to go whether they were committing fraud or not. They served no purpose and wasted taxpayer dollars. Also, I don't get outraged at everything but until our Government actually operates on a Budget that uses LESS MONEY then they take in then I will continue to be outraged at EVERY expenditure.
That's not true. Moronic Bicyclists cause accidents all the time. Around where I live they run red lights but forget to figure out who actually has the green. Then because of the moronic laws in this country the people who have every right to plow right into the fuckers have to swerve and run into something else causing untold amounts of damage to people and physical property. Meanwhile the bike rider shrugs his shoulders and take off.
Sound is measured in Decibels which is a logarithmic scale because sound has to be exponentially louder for you to hear the difference. In the same vein, sound (like light) falls off in intensity at the inverse of the square. So if you are twice as far away then it is half as loud. This holds true unless the sound is reflecting off of something. So while sound polution is a problem, the intesity of the speakers will not need to be that loud to alert people who are close to the car. In other words, while it will make a sound, it won't be so loud as to cause a problem.
Actually, Volvo intoduced a pedestrian protection system which instead stops the car. I think it functions at speeds below 30 mph if I remember correctly.
They put low rolling resistance tires on a lot of hybrids to pad the MPG numbers. It totally compromises the handling and safety of the car but all they care about is the MPG they get to advertise. Those tires make almost no noise at all.
That article is OLD and he is not saying that Megapixels don't matter. He is saying that to see a difference you need to quadruple the megapixels and also that other things matter a lot like light sensitivity, pixel to space ratio, ISO performance and the like. He then goes on to say you would need a 25 megapixel camera to meet 35mm uality and that such a camera is not feasable. Well I have to give him a Bill Gates because it is moronic to say anything is not technically feasable because in 10 years you look like a fool.
To get to the POINT, I own a Canon 5D Mark II which is a 21 Megapixel sensor. I have shot plenty of 35mm film and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this sensor blows 35mm film out of the fucking water! You can see the images I take here. http://shezphoto.zenfolio.com/ and www.shezphoto.com Those are not even full res (although you can buy some of them full resolution). I have blown up the images to 24" x 36" and all the detail remains intact. I'm sure I could go larger but I just haven't.
Even if you still insist that all of those articles are correct, I insist that the very existance of an organization like ACORN is a misappropriation of taxpayers dollars. An organization like that should be completely funded by donations and fundraising. That they got millions of dollars every year makes me sick. To top it off, they didn't even HELP very many people. If you cannot afford a home then the you cannot afford a home. You can take out a loan but you will just default on it later and be evicted.

I always get classified as a libertarian right which is in the same quadrant as Milton Friedman. Now the problem is we are stuck with a Two party system where neither party represents me. However if I have to choose a side I lean way more with the GOP. Not all of their candidates are attractive to me but many of them are. Many of them are actually calling for less Government Spending, less needless laws and regulations, but more smart legislation that is well planned and thought out.
Last time I checked we didn't imprison people on allegations or charges of dissent. THAT is the difference. In the United States we still have the freedom of speech.

That's not what the court ruled. They ruled that it is exatly the same as trailing them in a car.

It IS. The problem is people who turn off automatic updates entirely or the botnet turns it off and they never check.
Organized got the passwords or broke the encryption how exactly? I see why you post as anonymous.

They could put an Al Gore speech loop on it.
There, fixed that for you.

No. Unless you routinely honk your horn while coming around blind corners (note: this is actually required by law in most states but nobody does it).
