you must have a tiny-ass mug then. I Have a Cuisinart maker that grinds, and has a 4 cup setting, which perfectly fills my travel mug.
that is by biggest complaint about the Keurig - to fill a decent size mug, you need 2 cups on the large setting. at that point you get into the Buy at coffee shop kinda price per cup.
most cities have bylaws respecting the use of gas powered r/c craft in parks/public places, and my R/C Scale boat club (Nothing high speed, or gas) carries 2 million in liability insurance.
Why is this Modded 0?? its true. if you fall off a tower, its because you didn't protect yourself properly. Most often people dont clip onto the proper thing, or they are unclipped, or their harness is too loose. falls are completely preventable.
there are 3 ways to Authenticate someone - Something you Own, Something you know, and something you are. Choose 2 for best results.
The something you own didnt work. Adding something you know (like a pin) wouldnt work because there is no benifit to keeping it private - on the contrary - you get paid an extra half day for disclosing it. - persumably your bank account has money in it, so you are motivated to not disclose the pin. Therefore the best option is something you are - Most people would not cut off their thumb for a half day of pay.
With the comment about fireing people - Its a unionized shop. this makes it more dificult, and you actully have to catch the culperts before you can peanlize them.
I installed these at a client. The issue was the employees would take an afternoon off to go to an appointment, and get buddy to clock them out at the end of the day - The emplyoee would then get paid for an afternoon they didnt work.
The time clocks have a fingerprint scanner. You place your thumb on the device as you punch out. Now buddy cant swipe out for you, and you cant defraud your employeer.
They also had biometric locks instead of prox cards on the doors. Much more convieient then having to remember a card the few days when i was on site.
An auto switching power Y-cable with two inputs, and one output? ive never seen or heard of these.. Do you have a manufacturer or part number? id defiantly like some.
its still not incorrect as they stated that it was in standard time. if they only stated 5pm Pacific time, one would assume the current Daylight Savings time. Canadian (and American I think, but dont hold me to it) Tide and Current tables are in Standard time, so you need to remember to add the hour when you are in Daylight Savings Time, otherwise your calculations are off, and you can hit low things, and run around on high things.
Umm.. thats not throttling, it applying QOS (Quality of service) Throttling would slow your traffic all the time, where as this applies prioritization to data that needs it. Packets have a qos field that says the priority they should be given..
Im glad there is a telco that will respect QOS - I've wasted a week with a voip problem, only to learn that the telco was shaping traffic and discarding everything above 3mb without paying attention to QOS Flags.. Allstream charges more for this!
Piracy exists in Somalia because the government lacks sufficient ability and influence to stop it. It continues largely because the international community that has the ability to stop it, doesnt have the reason to. Modern warships can sink targets they cant visually see. The Gulf of Aden is large, but its not that large.
Most ships, even if owned by a western company, are flagged in a Convenient state - Panama, Liberia etc. these countries love the revenue form being a flag state but have no means of protecting their flagged ships. Most ships are crewed by non western crews.. many from the Philippines, Bangladesh, etc. again countries with limited abilities to protect their nationals internationally.
The west has many ships in the area, however they are reluctant to act for political reasons, if no nationals are involved, or its not a home flagged ship, its really not the concern of the country. The pirates get their million dollar ransom, which to a pirate is a wind fall, but to a shipping company, used to paying $60000/day fuel bills, really isnt that big a deal. Furthermore the risks to the pirates are relatively small - the French raided a la Poinete, a yacht that was taken by pirates and was crewed by french nationals, and the Indians sunk a Pirate mother ship last week. So for the pirates 2 out of over 100 incidents ended badly. To stop the pirates, the western world needs to actively seek them out, hunt them down and stop them from taking ships, as well as recapturing ships by force. When pirates begin to face the consequences - to this point there have been almost none, then they will cease their actions, because taking a ship no longer results in a quick profit for the prirates, and the risk of death goes up significantly for the actual takers of the ship.
Incidentally, the IMO is now recommending ships hire private security to protect them in troubled waters. Blackwater international has also purchased ships. The 18th century tales of piracy make a difference between a Privateer and a pirate a privateer was a mercenary ship working for a nation, to harass enemy shipping - they could take prizes, but paid a percentage to the crown, and wouldn't attack friendly shipping. a pirate had no Letter of Marque, paid no commissions, and attacked who he wanted when he wanted...
everything old is new again.
One final aside, those whom complain about copyright infringement by referring to it as piracy do a great disservice to the victims of piracy, imagine having your office attacked by men armed with machine guns and RPG's and your only defense is to run, and spray the attackers with a fire hose. from the floor above..
MMP failed in Ontario because it was poorly explained to voters, The and the referendum question was unclear. Also it was not full MMP, but a hybrid where the province would add additional MP's on top of the ridings based on the percentage of popular vote. These MP's would be declared on a list prior to the election, however they could also run in a riding, so a party could protect ministers who were defeated in their riding, but end up sitting as an MMP member. MMP members also would not be accountable to any riding. This is a worse system the the current first past the post system.
The current parliamentary system equally helps and hurts the conservatives and the liberals at different times. During liberal majorities the Reform and PC parties would often split votes to the benefit of the liberal candidate. No system is perfect, but historically the Parliamentary system has been probably been balanced between both major parties.
Also, it should be pointed out - and that the post clearly misses, that the Conservatives have a minority government. this means they do have the most seats of any party, but all other parties still have more seats then them - this means they need the help of another party to pass legislation. If their plans are that bad, it is the responsibility of the opposition to cause the government to fall. If they choose not to, you cant solely blame the Government for its passage.
in fact Viruses have been linked to cancer. Human Pamplona Virus (HPV) is thought to be solely responsible for cases of cervical cancer. Hence the push to get them all vaccinated at a young age before they start having sex.
Just accept that not every child will be the next Nobel prize, and accept that maybe your child is one of the dumb ones, and will have to do simple manual work all his life
You over educated twit. The fundamental problem with modern education is that it is vary narrowly focused down an academic path - almost to the point of discouraging trades as the place where the dumb kids go. Not all kids like to be book smart, some want to go out and be hands on and get dirty - they are not dumb, they are different.
I have found that there are actually very few truly dumb people in the world. Far more people are lazy, and have an over-inflated self worth and, the expectation that things will be handed to them without any work. I suspect this attitude is partially systemic, but mostly parental.
every child can succeed, they just need to be given proper opportunity, and not be forced into a narrow path that fits a narrow view of the world
Not true. Email is treated like paper mail, however if it is addressed to the company, then they own it. and can read/open and redirect as they see fit. The company, or anyone cant read your personal mail, but if it has the companies address on it, it is addressed to them, so they can.
fundamentally there is a huge difference between the internet and pirates of the nautical variety. Every part of the internet is owned by a corporation and therefore that corporation is subject to the laws (or a lack there of) of a nation. The IMO regulates international shipping, nations base their laws on international directives. in theory this could work for cybercrime. Modern nautical pirates exist in nations without a political structure - look at Somlia - they are responsible for most most modern piracy incidents, but at the same time are likely poorly connected. Therefore the conditions that breed piracy, tend to preclude internet connectivity, so i would suggest that the comparison is interesting, but weak, and if anything, is an argument for replacing ICANN with a body more akin to the ISO - which works much as the IMO does.
As an aside, I would also like everyone to look at actual piracy - involving the capture of ships, crew and sometimes their murder. see how this compares to the copying of music videos, and software. Copyright infringement is just that, not piracy. it does a disservice to the victims of true piracy.
I have certifications to preform waranty service for Apple, IBM, and Toshiba. All 3 have a procedure to deal with sensitive data on Bad HDD's. - You typically can ask to not send the drive back. I have never done it with Apple, but IBM and Toshiba have a Affidavit you fill out certifying the drive was destroyed, signed by the tech and the Customer IIRC.
If its non waranty service.. the drive should be sent back.
What you describe is normal, and your question exhibits a lack of understanding about white ballence. essentially, if your white is right, then all the other colors will be as well. your camera has several settings to compinsate for various light types (Tungsten, Flourescent, Daylight)Yours is probably set to AWB (Auto) which is easy - as the camera will figure it out pretty well and a Custom - which you can configure based on the lighting by shooting a grey card - which is a card that is 15% grey (Or there abouts) that the camera can then use to figure out what true white is.
The variation in pixels can also be the result of the ISO setting you are using. 100 has the least noise, but also requires longer exposures. higher settings react faster, but have more noise (400,800,1600) This is a tradeoff between desigered exposure and ambiant light.
I would suggest reading Strobist for more on lighting. There are also several other sites dedicated to post processing images, that you may find helpfull. it also might be worth looking at the various pool discucssion groups on Fliker.
Urban sprall and suburban sprall are essentially the same beast. The urban area "spralls" outwards into suburbs. In the Core, high land values keep lots small and prices high, this is why there is density there. Prices are high in the suburbs due to the percived value of the property mostly - the land is not expensive because it is scarce, it is expensive because developers will sell it for as much as they can, and marketing drives the price.
Suburbs are not a bad thing nessasarlly, there are good suburbs which are connected to the core via rail links (for example the tradional bedroom or commuter communities), and can serve as a self sufficent community on its own. Low densities are also not nessasarlly a bad thing on the edge of a city. (many of the proto-suburbs were very walkable) Where spralling suburbs become an issue is when developers try to maximize units in minimum space.
The current trend for a suburb is to maximize the number of units you can fit in. This means building houses 6feet apart from each other and building them cheaply. Commercial development goes along the arerial roads away from the houses because 1. the roads are needed to get to the suburb. 2. all the suburbs traffic travels down the road because it is the only one. 3. Nobody wants to live there becuase fo all the traffic, so Strip malls get built. they are too far from the houses, because they occupy "leftover" land. This is the pattern of the bad spralling suburb. Also the identicalness of these suburbs has led to the growth of the theory of Placelessness - that is as more and more places become more and more alike, the less we feel and care about a particular place.
The Modernists grand ideas for urban design are what is responsible for half of the problem.(Large highways, social housing projects, "towers in a prak") The second half of the problem exists from developers that have co-opted and cheapened the good suburban ideas that existed prior to 1960, in order to make a quick dollar.

Im not sure, but its plausable. Some kid visiting New York had a Superman costume and was staying at the Waldorf Astoria, he figured he could fly, and jummped out the window. Celine Dion has a song, "Le Fils De Superman" about this.
If you your self won't work like that, then don't waste time suggesting it. these measures are really nothing more then window dressing designed to give the apperance of security.

as in why do you use them? why is a machine so much better then a piece of paper, with a circle that you mark an X in? it's simple, fool proof, easy to count, and very clear who was voted for (No dangling chads in Canada)
I suspect the arguement for voteing machines is that an instant tally is possible at the end. The last 2 municiple elections in Ottawa still used the x in a circle method, but the balot was run face down through a scanner into the balot box. (sure, somone could have rigged the scanner, but i saw my vote go into the box, and im sure the scruteners would compare a few box counts to the machine count to verify accuracy.) and if technology fails, guess what, the voteing is still done the same way - you just have to count by hand.

Yes the employer has a responsibility to train employees, and ensure equipment is up to snuff and used properly. A fall protection harness, and lanyard is $160 its not an excessive cost.
