Come on.. dial-up sucks, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be. For most email chores (html included) things will be just fine unless you have one of those stupid relatives that forward you all the jokes with jpeg attachments they can find.. and if those relatives don't get the hint when you tell them not to send you that crap, well then you just block em... I have one such relative, and communication by email with her was pointless because it was 99.9 percent crap.. I don't need crap, I can find my own crap.. so she's filtered out, and has to communicate by phone.
A license plate is for the vehicle, it is either stolen or not, and it's registration is either up to date or not. Besides a traffic violation those would be the only reasons to pull over a vehicle.. This is when the driver and often passengers are checked for wants and warrants. If would be a mistake to tie all wants and warrants to the vehicle license. As it is (if you've ever watched an episode of Cops) county clerks are often very slow to update computers when a warrant has been taken care of.. so that's bad enough when you make a traffic error and end up in jail for something already taken care of.. now you'll just be increasing that as an automatic pull over of a car owned by someone who might not even be wanted.
I personally have not ever had a warrant, but I will tell you, that my brother had a warrant and then turned himself in.. he then went to court, and spent his time in county jail.. 4 years later, in a different county he was stopped. The other county had not removed the warrant.. he spent a week and a half in this other counties jail waiting for extradition, and they dropped the charges and released him (because he wasn't wanted).. no apology, nothing, and he lost his job to top it off... Why it takes a week and a half to figure out your not wanted I don't know.
The monsters, music, gore.. all that's fine... But what really made Doom great was killing your buddies (over and over) in network Deathmatch. Once graphics went overboard, I think network play suffered, it's just not the same (to me anyway).. I'd still rather play old fashioned Doom Deathmatch than anything past Doom 2. Although Duke 3d and Shadow Warrior were great for this too. (damn I'm old)
I've always thought not being able to edit was a good feature of PDF's... for example, if you sent someone a CAD drawing to quote you a price on manufacturing it, they have the information needed to do the quote, but can't screw up or change any specifications.. and they can't (easily) steal your work.
To edit your own PDF's I can understand.. to edit others I disagree with... If you need an editable document then why not just send a.doc or.odt or dxf or jpg.. etc.. ??
If there is useful information "that we don't already know" to be gained, I don't have a problem with it.. but I really don't see much use in doing this myself. As this is limited to Southern CA, it has nothing to do with movement of pollution around the globe.
Southern Ca also has the San Bernardino mountains, you could just as easily drive up at various elevations and take samples.. but again, I don't think there is going to be anything learned we don't already know. Another thing to consider is this.. Where are most people breathing ? I think samples at the level where it's used would be the most important.
If the policeman used his gun and killed the suspect then we would say the cause of death was a gunshot wound.
Exactly.. You car further break down the cause of death from a gunshot wound.. Loss of blood, Damage to a vital organ etc.. but the gunshot caused the damage leading to death.. that blood just didn't come out on it's own, and people dying from taser shocks would not have had "excited delirium" (whatever that is) on their own either.
Although true that there will always be crime, you absolutely cannot deny that consequences are a deterrent. If for example you did not arrest people for robbery and put them away for many years, do you imagine that the robbery rate would remain the same ?
You have turned me around.. I just look at what them Cubans are doing there in Guantanamo and I think your right.
Seriously. I don't think anyone believes that the Castro government is righteous, or condones them.. but to blindly ignore our own shortcomings or worse yet to be proud or justify them is sad.
Thats bullshit. Capital punishment has shown us OVER AND OVER that is does not reduce crime.
I don't think that's necessarily true.. In the US, where you are convicted, and sentenced to death, and then sit in jail for 20 years before they get around to carrying out the sentence, the impact is lost. This is not true in some eastern countries where they don't screw around, and get the job done. The implementation of capital punishment in the US is a joke, if your going to have it then carry it out in a timely manner or don't have it at all.
I would also point out that when a person gets death, and the sentence is carried out.. there is a LOW probability of a repeat offense.
To expand on all of this.. What is it to me if the laws in any country that I am not living in are harsher (in my opinion) than my own country ?.. What business is it of mine to tell others what laws they should or should not have ?.. That is the responsibility of the people who live there and they can make their own laws.
Been a long time, but I think you need a floppy drive any more.. Turning on my wayyback machine (late 90s'), I remember installing with boot and root disks that you made to get the system started.. the rest of the distro was on the CD.. but I really can't say for certain if it was still this way last time I installed.
Perhaps someone who's installed it in the last few years (It's been like 3 or 4 years ago for me) could give a definite answer.
I was going to question the logic of needing to find an original post-it note, when there is a digital copy.. but I actually imagined a legitimate use. The only thing the RFID would be useful for is for labeling documents that you might misplace.. but I would think there might be a more professional way to label than a post-it, not to mention that it might detach... RFID folders maybe...
We could have used RFID document storage boxes at the last joint I worked at.. accounting had all the boxes numbered but there was no rhyme or reason to the off site storage of them, just hunting through hundreds of boxes until you found the right number.
The mailman is just as much a spammer when he delivers junkmail. Do you charge him for using your mailbox ?
Spam is annoying, but really what are your costs ?.. your time to delete the email ?.. I think spam makes a piss poor sales tool because any possible sales are usually lost in annoyance.. Just as when I receive phone sales calls.. even if I need the service they are selling, I will be too pissed off to buy it.
But they are taxing the import.. calling it a "use tax" or any other name doesn't mean anything.. collecting a use tax on an item purchased in another state means you are collecting a tax on something you imported from another state.
The simplest solution for the internet would to charge the same tax across the US that goes to the state only.. and collect it and keep it in the State of origin, not the state it is delivered to.. Think of it this way.. If you drove to that state and purchased an item, you would have to pay their tax on it, and then transport it back to your state.. same thing with the internet, you purchase it in that state, they get the tax, and you pay to transport it to your state.
As I said, fairest solution would be to make the rate uniform across the states.. and simplify things (imagine that)
This is stupid.. unless she was told "we'll search, but you have to pay", BEFORE they searched.
This was also a high profile media fiasco.. the average joe, would not have had such an extensive search done.. and if she is charged, it should be based upon the costs of previous efforts.. that they spent extra time "doing the job" is on them.
In your world.. You have exactly one application for every task.. and I don't see why you care or even bother to comment.. because in your world, you would only have one OS..
KDE vs Gnome is NOT a problem.. It's an OPTION, and there are others XFCE, Windowmaker, etc..
Just stay with what you know, and catch up with Linux in 10 years.
My thought when I first read the original poster, was how do you prove "not suicide" ?... I had not considered the foul play option... If that is a suspected possibility then he should not play Scooby-Do, but give the job over to the cops... If that is not a consideration, then basically he can only "prove" support for suicide with evidence, he can not prove "not suicide" by lack of evidence (he already has that)
The point is that you should be *at least* as good as Windows, and right now software installation on Linux isn't.
No it's better... First of all, the bitching about application names is pointless. If there is an application that you have decided to install, you are going to know it's name (perhaps you googled, or read about it elsewhere).. If on the chance you don't know the name of the app, then your are going to search for an app that does what you want.. and this would again probably be google.. or you could use Synaptic which organizes apps into catagories, or you can just search with keywords like "editor" and get a list of editors both installed, or to install... but the fact that it is easy to find applications is not why it's better... It's better because you know that when you get an application using Synaptic, you are not getting spyware or malware, because the app had to go through testing to get there, and it just wouldn't make it in.
The Synaptic (actually the apt) repository sytem of installing software is by far superior to the "Windows way".. end of story.

Come on.. do your blah blah blah free Tibet speech, you know you want to.. obviously these tourists are brainwashed and Chinese government approved.

Sure.. just pay the damages they seek.. homelessness sure to follow.

Still, if know that it comes both ways, it would be nice to test drive both in the store, side by side.
So on some purchased XP systems, Linux will find it's way on them anyway.

I am surprised they haven't gone after the emacs "operating system" by now.
