"Budget airlines are "squeezing the life out of British tourism" and the government is exacerbating the problem by promoting expansion of the aviation industry, MPs were told yesterday.
Budget hotel chain Travelodge accused Ryanair and easyJet of driving an £18bn "tourism deficit" by drawing British holidaymakers away from Britain with low fares underpinned by state tax breaks."
It's a Trend... Obviously, you haven't played Half-Life mod packs, hehehe.
IIRC, I was sniping inside, too, for a while. Then I think I switched to shotguns. But, really, in the dark, with a sniper Night Vision scope, picking off SWAT teams or ter'rists is easier, again, since the lights sometimes went out. If you HAD NVG, then you didn't need sniping rifles...
But, then, what trumps a sniper rifle at the end of a stump below the hip? (Yeh, a Borg weapon...)
But, by the same logic of patting down veterans, I wonder if the TSA will institute a Don't Ask, Don't Tail/Tell/Tale policy or if they'll take the high ground and show their ability to not use sexual orientation as a deciding factor for job placement.
There's a vas deferens between tubes and wires, one being that tubes usually transmit things *inside* their diameter and wires... oh, hell. Nano wires might be useful for one LCDR Data to deliver his stimulating positronic-originating, nano-pump-boosted shock-waves in a variety of stimulating, articulated positions...
gonna upload Virtual Machines (drivers) into her firmware? Recompile the matrix? Blow away Sector Zero? Perform Trans-Regression AnalAsys on the Boundary Layers? Plug-in away...
"This is probably true when it comes to malware targeting grandma"
Well, as long as the MALEware is not targeting grandmas. They're probably far beyond corruption. But, wait... WHAT mal(?)ware? Worms, virii, cookies, bots, web bugs? Doc's gonna be BUSY!
*I* have yet to have accessed my bank account via the Internets, tho a banker might have when I was *in* the bank. But even since then -- when they asked my why I don't (or why don't I) access my account from the computer, I tell them "until you can give me as secure a connection as yours from the terminal behind the counter. And, no, that one over at that desk for public use doesn't seem as secure as yours behind the counter. Or, is it?" They never give me a direct or straight answer, so I don't trust it either.
Well, I won't be one of those angling to call you a communist. I, too, would rather see school free if it meant the DVD players and other electronics cost 10-40% more.
But, a corollary I can imagine is that if corporations fund schools, they'll nag the government/s for major tax breaks. Then, they'll offer lower salaries "since your school was free for you...", and then government might find some weasel means to increase public taxes to make up for the taxes major corporations excused themselves from by threatening reelection cancellation for innumerable politicians...
But, OTOH, I can think of maybe 10 more ways the public money spent over the last 8 years can be better spent rebuilding infrastructure, employing the under-employed, and making near-free schooling possible without endearing universities to big corporations.
Intel won't be "ass-ailed" for misusing public caughers, but it might be publicly assailed for abusing private patents...Wait...This might prove to be QUITE a "blast from the past" upon Intel?
Does the browser report to browser trackers that it had to be put into "ie" identification mode for the user to use the page? It could help build data for an Anti-Trust investigation... Might give a REAL benchmark of real-world numbers. Might hurt the hell out of microshaft to find that 20%-40% overcount of ie in China is really Firefox with an ie icon on the desktop...

KY Jelly (in personal amounts) is permitted in carry-on luggage by the TSA. So, at least THEY won't border or make it "custom" to be on the periphery of parts of yer ass... Don't forget the digital Scabine or Kwell cream after handing over yer machine.... don't want any "bugaboos" dropping in on yer ass...
On that ALONE the government (via it's own geeks and attorneys) would nail ANYbody following that advice. At least, in my mind, the government prosecutors would claim premeditation to defeat, test, tamper with and attempt to nullify homeland security.
It's just a matter of time before we are -- strike that --this becomes -- a condomnable nation.
If you travel and do so for work or personal reasons and take the wrong encryption into China, the US will federally punish you if it finds out upon your return to the US.
China would probably punish you IF they had cause to single out YOUR laptop for inspection upon ENTRY. If you return to the US TOO SOON, it might sideline you into a secondary inspection and then determine you had some strong encryption tools you illegally "exported".
I don't know whether a partition merely encrypted constitutes export of tools, but I have to assume that for the partition to accept new or display existing data some back-and-forth encryption and decryption is going on, and so might any government.
This is just NOT a pretty picture. I can imagine a few people being turned into the TrueCrypt versions of Bobby Fischer. Wanted for exportation, banned FOR life from playing WITH electronics... Or banned FROM life for playing WITH electronics.

OUCH!!!!
disturbing Trend?

That's scary, and just reiterates that computer network planners or so-called security experts need to be 3x looked over... or overlooked for the job.

To be make the shatting of bricks more painless, change them to capsules. Put less limestone or sand in the mortar? Less grinding action on exitry.

monumental terrible flop, terraflop, or terroflop?

but the idea will be sent away because it makes too much sense, and will interfere with lawyers ever-historic ability to make cents...,
And that still makes this old news...

encryption of certain ages or types?
If you travel and do so for work or personal reasons and take the wrong encryption into China, the US will federally punish you if it finds out upon your return to the US.
China would probably punish you IF they had cause to single out YOUR laptop for inspection upon ENTRY. If you return to the US TOO SOON, it might sideline you into a secondary inspection and then determine you had some strong encryption tools you illegally "exported".
