I got a free plant. I tried to tell the drone at the register that the plant did not ring up. they said it did. -meh.
At that point I don't think it's unethical.
But: if you say nothing, yes it's unethical, though not criminal. If you exploit it then it *should* be criminal.
I temper this with the following: We are supposed to have judges to *JUDGE THE LAW* not the people (that's what juries are for). As long as judges blindly go with laws that are unjust, then folks should not be charged for violating the spirit, but not letter of the law. It should work *both* ways equally./rant (sorry)
Given that some people post to their (public open) wall on FB their criminal exploits... Good luck with the e-mail thing. People have no idea how the internet works. I showed someone a wireshark dump from their computer. E-mail, address, server, login credentials, etc. They were flabbergasted, but then said "but you have to be on my computer to do that... tried to explain hops and how things get from point a to point b.... They didn't get it./facepalm
Even if it's completely locked in, you data isn't.
Simple really, if you have Intel hardware use this distro to take advantage of it, otherwise use the Apache one. No reason AMD or nVidia can't do the same... -nb
I got to thinking though... Two grounding rods and a sledge along with some wire. Drive the two rods into the ground about 10 feet apart and a foot from the fence. Connect wire from the rods to the fence. Cut and enter as normal.
But this isn't a booby trap. The fences have to be properly signed, and are only allowed in industrial zoned areas.
Frankly, I think it's a bit overkill, but I totally understand. A local yard was robbed of commercial sized spools of copper wire, had to cost a ton. Even worse, thieves have been opening the access panel on street lights and using their cars to pull the wire out.
Rancho Cordova (where this passed) has long been seen as a higher crime area, not surprised they're going to these lengths at all. -nbr
I'll plug good shoes instead of crap: Ecco Worth every penny. The one time I had a pair that I actually finally wore through the sole, they sent me a new pair.

Really... I have bags of 30 and 72 pin simms, including IBM 3 tin can 256k 30 pin simms... haven't looked in a while what they are going for, maybe it's time
To be fair, a Trident missile fits nicely on the middle of that platform and doesn't *have* to be armed with a nuke to be really effective. Politically it would be disastrous, but...
My round trip daily drive is: work 12 miles dojo 4 miles kid's school 2 miles
So yeah, 35 mile range is just fine for my daily needs, and my employer even has free charging. (we have a Tesla S and a couple homebrew VW's in the lot already). I've seriously been considering doing this for a while... -nbr
I'm not. While you are correct that a destroyer *may* be the traditional reward, Neil was not a traditional sailor. A vessel class of exploration is fitting, as he was one of our country's most iconic explorers (that was real...).
Meh, they both suck. Seriously I think we need a multiparty system again. We really are stuck with one party that has some trivial differences they bicker about.
They both: meddle in foreign governments, increase our countries debt, try to remain in power at the expense of the citizenry's well being, increase the size of the government, and ignore what the population has said they want. -nb
sure it does, depending on the dimmer. at half brightness the bulb draws about 75% of it's power, thus saving 25%. This assumes you have a TRIAC based dimmer and not a (very) old rheostat based one.
This does not mean that the savings are proportional to light output, true. At minimal brightness the bulb is still drawing about 50% of full on power. -nbr
yup. I have some "new" sensor switches, and they outright eat CFLs, my old walk the house behind the kids and turn the lights back off method and the lights last for a long time.
I've put two of the Phillips bulbs in enclosed fixtures as a test (yes, an expensive one). So far they are holding up well (6 months on the first one, 3 on the second).
What I want is a 60w equivalent that will fit in the smaller base in my ceiling fan. -nbr

Other than it being a crime for the programmer to play on the games.
And then you were charged with assault.

How about hogsheads of electrons? Not sure exactly how many joules that is, but it's quite a few as long as you can keep them in the damn container.
Though I would imagine that it is many KWh that transfer in 30 min.
They have a higher ratio of Estonians to USians?
heh.
your sig is brilliant, given the context of this thread...
