If it ain't on television, he probably hasn't got a clue about it. If it ain't on television and sufficiently entertaining, he probably hasn't got a clue about it. PBS has some very educational shows out there, but I would postulate that Joe goes "ewwww educational crap" and changes the channel faster than the speed of light. Any research Joe puts forth is likely how to delete the educational channel(s) from the TV's autoscan list (in a fit of irony). -nB
I think if you were carbon neutral you would safely improve the world's standard of living, but not to "American" levels (I argue that European standards of living are better as evidenced by their better lifespan). To produce enough foodstuffs would be difficult. Crops take land, people take land, nature takes land. They all compete. Assuming that you keep nature at a steady state (or have already depleted it to 0) any increase in population necessitates a decrease in available crop land. -nB
Fair enough. I run a script that loads their page mercilessly and attempts to log in through their proxy/spoof with random credentials. It's a practice that's gotten me DOS'd more than once.
But your average joe sixpack is susceptible to these scams, and as such I like what ebay corp. is attempting to do. -nB
They still are. His terms of use required credit for the design. They are not giving him credit, thus they can be sued for (c) violation. He's already said he doesn't really care, so now he likely can't sue, but all the same... -nB
If enough people are interested I will order a silkscreened run. I want orders and payment up front (we'd need to order about 1K disks) question: disk only or with a foldover cover (adds about 50 cents to the cost per disk)? -nB
He is the exception rather than the norm. In this case I believe the sexual content was what did her in. It is violating in i's own right without the need to commit a physical harm. My wife's masters (sociology) was going to be in on-line communities, status, social rank (low UID on/. anyone?) etc. It turned out to be such a mess of a minefield that her chair strongly advised her to save that for doctoral level work. she did.
I don't blame Kathy at all for her feelings and FWIW I throw my support to her without even knowing who she is (and WTF is this coffee programming language anyway;) -nB

Not books, But when I'm buying parts for my old diesel benz I shop on-line exclusively. The parts counters have insane markups that the on-line stores don't have (still branded OEM parts mind you).

As one of those parents (who has stood up to a particular insurance company) you need to understand what it would mean to see your wife and kids tossed out on the street because you are the wage earner of the family. My kids are 3 and 4. My wife and I decided about 4 years and 9 months ago that she was going to stay home and go to school at night (when I'm home) so that our kids would always have a parent close. We made the choice to live "poor" so that we could be family centric, rather than both parents working and paying for daycare. If I got one of these letters I would contest it (through a lawyer) only so long as the real risk of lob loss and jail time were sufficiently low that I would not be concerned or could not back down and avert either.
I am loyal to my family first and above all else. -nB
No shit. I was almost written up for not having certain hard documents (expense report) to someone in time. Problem is that I already had turned in the documents to my (at the time) boss, who was a disorganized neatnick. When I pointed out to him that it was right there in his "in box" under his copy of golf digest the writeup was averted. Next thing I know I get my signed expense report back and stuffed in the confidential envelope with it was a contractors invoice that I should never have been allowed to see, which showed (among other things) that we were paying 7-10x the dollar amount to hire in contractors than the base wage + bonus for the 40% of the staff that was laid off as a "cost cutting measure". I called BS on that one, and since we had those wonderful scan and e-mail all in one's that didn't require a login to send e-mail I sent out a scanned copy of the invoice to the lab staff and the recently canned employees. -nB
I understand your point, but nonetheless think it is flawed. I realize that other measures could capture the requisite data, but in all honesty the average helldesk Simon wannabe won't be likely to be that resourceful. Protection of the files when out of my immediate control is good enough. -nB
And therein lies its true power. As an example: I have a volume with porn in it. The hidden volume contains other things. All I can divulge is that first password and they get a volume of porn. Hey, I was hiding my secrete homo-autoerotic transvestite fetish from my S.O. Nevermind the 15 megs of "unused" space at the end of the volume. -nB
Or those of us who would like to store personal documents on our work PCs (allowed by AUP), but would rather not have a snoopy admin remote in and see them, or when the notebook is in for service have the service people snoop around. All they see is a single large file called video.corrupt.save.
While ideally they wouldn't snoop for snooping's sake, we all know there are wanna-be Simons out there:-(
FWIW you can use a coolant for immersion cooling that is not water. Water is too corrosive and will pick up metal ions, causing the contamination. Fluorinert (FC-70, FC-77) or it's replacements (Novec HFE-7100, H Galdon ZT-130/150) work very well in this role. Downside becomes cost. ZT-130 is sold in 600ml bottles for $150. The system I'm using it in needs about 5 bottles per charge-up (plus ~2 bottles per year top off). -nB
And that's why there's a pair of SCOTT Air Packs by the door to our lab. All emergency teams are trained in how to put one on and how much time they have to get in the room, search for people, and get out. -nB
