I guarantee you, if the people started protesting nationwide, the Military (for the most part) would not be shooting at you. It would be the state and federal police forces. I know several marines (and there are many more like them) that would flat out disobey any order to kill protesting Americans. Yes, they'd defend their lives, and the lives of others, but that's about it.
Marines take their oath of protecting the Constitution very seriously. Including that part about no military forces for domestic police actions.
I know that SBC (the new AT&T before the NEW new AT&T) used to dump connections using bittorrent and other P2P protocols for sustained bandwidth saturation, or something like that. When I asked about it, they said it was in their terms of service that saturating your bandwidth is a no-no.
You wouldn't goggle for user shared video sites unless you're looking for a YouTube alternative. Using "goggle" is bad for your PC's health, if you're running windows.
Actually, the original Aramaic and Hebrew used a word that is closer in meaning to "Murder", not "Kill" - ratsach. It differs from "Murder" in the aspect that intentional killing that is not specifically to rectify the loss of another's life through murder, or warfare, is wrong.
That is, accidental manslaughter is okay, but killing someone for being on your property is not. I suppose this could mean defending yourself could count as wrong, as it is not much more difficult to incapacitate someone than it is to actually kill them.
With this clarification, I'd say Inkscape for vector graphics, and GIMP for raster graphics for your training tools. They may not be perfected like Photoshop and the other Creative Suite applications, but they have enough of the right features to teach someone the basics they'll need for a simple web page design.
Inkscape can be a wonderful page designer, but it has a steeper learning curve than GIMP.
Whilst I completely agree with your points here it's worth noting that depending on exactly what the poster's colleagues are going to be working on, decent support for any of this stuff may not be needed. How often to projects really require Pantone accuracy in their colour reproduction?
Branding is where this is very important. I used to work for a company that built the complete package for companies - their print material, their letterheads, their website, and finally their logo and brand colors to tie it all together.
We had more problems with print shops that accepted RGB, as opposed to those that took CMYK for the work. Pantone may not be important to every day Kinko's report printing, but if you're doing logo work and professional design of things like brochures, business cards, etc where color is important, there's no way around it.
"American Superconductor Corporation and Con Edison have announced a joint effort to develop and deploy a new system that utilizes high temperature superconductor power cable technology in Con Edison's grid in New York City. The project, called Project Hydra, will aim to establish 'Secure Super Grids' that can withstand extreme weather and terrorist attacks."
You seem to be under the impression it hasn't passed. It did.
100-0 in the Senate (when was the last time EVERY senator voted, let alone voted yes on a bill?).
I believe 261-160 in the House (not 100% sure on that).
I wrote letters to both my Senator and Rep before the vote, and the Senator responded back with "I had to say yes on it, it had Tsunami relief in the bill, as well as provisions for the war in Iraq.", the Rep voted no on it.
We've been mugged and left in an alley to rot, we just don't realize it yet. Once we do, people will say it's too late, but it won't be. The people of this nation have thrown off the shackles of oppression once before, and they'll do it again. I just hope it doesn't come down to violence.
At first I thought it was to keep me quiet - but after talking to my boss about it in the exit interview, he simply didn't know it was illegal, and my stance impressed him. Who coulda guessed?
Turn them in if they insist on this action, even IF they "logged your disagreement" or whatever. Most states have laws protecting "whistle blowers", so you may well NOT lose your job (if you even want to keep it). Even the US military has some protections for someone who refuses an order because they think (or know) it's illegal.
My reasoning for this has already been stated - if they DO get caught, you're likely to be the person blamed for it, as you're the one doing the actual installation.
Anecdotal: I was asked to do something I thought was illegal at one time, and I refused, stating plainly that I wouldn't break the law, even if it meant my job.
The international oil companies seem to realize they're in their last days of the "bread-and-butter", and are putting a lot of money into alternatives research - especially renewable alternatives.
The American companies? Nope. Very little money, other than a few hundred thousand here or there for a tax break, the rest go to campaigning AGAINST the research into alternatives.
5 digit user id, and you still haven't looked up the meaning of QED, eh?
You HAVE NOT proven demonstrably that PETA sponsors terrorists or terrorism. What you've proven is they've given money to an organization that has some members who have committed terrorist acts. You have not proven latitude. Sponsorship requires knowledge of it.

Also a good book. I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't worth reading. :) Personally, I liked Good as Gold a little more.
I was more referring to the way he was portrayed by Alan Arkin than anything else.
I'm assuming you were in the Marines as well?
Excellent film. I just watched it again for the first time in over a decade this past week. Yossarian's a pimp.

I bet Godwin never saw this one coming!

You are definitely new here.
I don't even think Titans are bigger than 25-30km, so.. yeah.
I don't remember the source of the poll myself, but IIRC, it was more like they approved of the threat of torture.
Sherman? (as in the General)
Normally, I don't respond to troll-ish comments - not since my first comment on a /.
You're wrong. That wasn't polite. Now that you have a non-AC that disagrees with you on that point, will you please just drop it?
Did everyone in this thread miss the term "superconductor"?
Better power efficiency, lower loss over the long haul. 40 million is cheap for this. I wish they'd use this tech for the real long hauls.
Send it this way, too, if ya find it... Or! You can set up a google project!
Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!

Same price, actually, as the smallest Wacom Graphire.

I got a raise.
I wish you could be modded higher than 5.
