You don't design a network diagram with 1000+ devices on it, you do it in different layers. E.g., start with Internet lines, firewalls, core switches on one diagram. Break out separate buildings / floors / etc. onto other diagrams. There is absolutely no need or use for a single diagram with every device on it.
The point being that ticket clerks are not trained to identify suspicious devices or suspicious behavior. If a clerk was having a bad day and a customer was rude to them they could arbitrarily pick anything and say it looks suspicious and call the police just to get revenge. If the police then freak out and overreact every time it's just a waste of everybody's time. What if there was somebody else who was trying to hide a real bomb while all of this was going on? Once a person or device is identified as safe, we need to go back to business as usual. Making the situation into a bigger deal than it was, making national news, was a mistake on the police's part. Period.
You don't need a law that gives you a right do to something, anywhere, even in an airport. Laws remove rights, they don't give them to you. By default you have all rights.
Can police no longer find they made a mistake, and just LET YOU GO without penalty?? I would like to think that this happens every day; but of course that sort of thing would never make the news so nobody ever hears about it. This type of event should be the uncommon type, which is why it does make news. But I agree with you that this sort of thing does seem to be happening more and more, and it never does get resolved by a simple "Sorry, our bad. You're free to go."
She deliberately set out to provoke a response and got one No, she didn't. She had been wearing it for weeks, not specifically to the airport while picking up her boyfriend.
Why else wouldn't she respond when questioned about what was on her chest? She was questioned by a ticket clerk at a counter. 1) Who the fuck is the ticket clerk to question her? A ticket clerk has no authority. She did answer the police's questions. 2) Airport lobbies are noisy, maybe she simply didn't hear. 3) Maybe the ticket clerk was lying and never actually questioned her but said she did after the fact. 4) If you really had a bomb why on earth would you display it on your shirt? We take our shoes off and surrender liquids at security checkpoints because of people who tried hide bomb materials / devices. People need to use some common sense.
So in your world who gets to decide what is a "suspicious" device? Anybody can call anything suspicious without question? I think your non-sensical post is really suspicious. I think it's an attempt at providing terrorists information using steganography. I think you should be arrested.

You can't discount immigration without discounting emigration as well. But immigration/emigration don't have enough of an effect to say that without them there isn't any growth.

The growth rate is slowing (going down), but the population is still going up.
Good analogy, the scroll wheel is only useful when you use it like a steering wheel - hold it with two hands out in front of you when you can see what you're doing. But if you try to reach into your pocket and do some searching / seeking it completely sucks. Assuming there is even enough room to move your finger around in a circle and you even know where the circle is, there is no feedback at all. I can't think of a worse control for an MP3 player, whereas a pressure sensitive button is ideal. Driving a car is an analog operation, selecting tracks is a discrete operation.
Good point on Paint.net. Paint.net is my open source image editor of choice for Windows, as GIMP is for Linux. I don't know if it beats The GIMP hands down or not, I don't do that much advanced graphics editing. I just need a graphics program with basic editing tools and layers. I love how people here on slashdot get into arguments about Gimp / Photoshop when there might be one user here on this thread who even know how to use 50% of the functionality in either program.
For consistency, go install Windows Vista and Office 2007. Then open the following programs: Windows Mail, IE7, Windows Media Player, Word 2007, and a command prompt. You will be looking at 5 different window / toolbar styles. And most of them change even further when maximized. Then come back here and talk about consistency.
$0.30 / day for Windows Server licensing? Huh, that's weird, because I could have sworn that quad-processor SQL server I just implemented the other day cost $105,000 to license for Windows Server Enterprise and SQL Server Enterprise (per processor licensing). Even spread over 5 years that's $58 / day, and $96 / day over your three year lifetime. We have a few of those boxes, plus all the application servers and other support servers. Yeah that's pretty cheap, anybody should be able to afford that... NOT.
Javascript is definitely my primary problem in Opera, and I don't think it's "shoddy" coding. Google Docs & Spreadsheets doesn't work at all, GReader/GReader plugin for home page don't work well in Opera, my company's webmail system doesn't work well in Opera (IMail - attachment uploading broken), my personal webmail doesn't work (through everyone.net), etc. They're all Javascript related problems and it prevents me from using Opera with any regularity.
Opera has better ad blocking that any other browser I have seen (Including Firefox). Then you're an idiot. Opera has URL blocking, not ad blocking. Every browser can do the ad-blocking that Opera can do, wildcards included. Firefox's options are far more numerous; even the basic adblock plus extension has list subscriptions, list import/export, regular expression filtering, object tag blocking, iframe blocking, etc. None of which Opera does. And that's without even getting into NoScript, FlashBlock, NukeAnything and dozens of other extensions.
If it pisses you off that much, you could just stop shopping there. Agreed, this whole problem would be solved if people stopped shopping at Circuit City / Best Buy.
Being an asshole to a cop is a great way to get arrested. Clearly Michael Righi didn't care about being arrested, and cops can't arrest people for just being assholes. It's apparent that he's pursuing action to prevent exactly that type of abuses of power, and good for him for doing so.
the only person who "won" was the receipt checker He may be fired along with the manager once this whole thing pans out, and also is potentially open to his own personal liability.
I think the real crime here, that nobody else has mentioned, is that Michael forgot his sister's birthday. Shame on him.
Weird, I knew a guy who did the same thing only he was a high-level manager who just parroted what the CEO said and pretended to add value to it. I think your pot-smoking, Pizza Hut-working friend has a bright future in front of him.
Opera is today the most useable browser out there. Try to "use" Opera on any of Google's applications and let me know how that works out for you. It is fast, lightweight and has decent features "out of the box", but I can't use it day to day because for whatever reason there are a number of sites where Opera's javascript engine just doesn't work. (Cue the blame-game - "Opera supports the 'official' javascript DOM, sites that don't code for it are bad, etc.).
Widgets aren't a feature of a browser (or shouldn't be, there's really no benefit and loads of better alternatives), and HTML presentations aren't anything new and isn't something that can't be done in any browser.
Also I love how because Opera did something before the "mainstream" browsers they claim they are the ones being copied. Opera wasn't the first browser to do tabs, mouse gestures, search bars, or extensions (/widgets/addons/whatever). They seem to be like Apple that way - claiming that somebody copied from them and not admitting that they copied it from somebody else in the first place. Gotta love it.
what would happen if you got half way there and the phone network cut out or the battery went dead and you couldn't use it That's highly unlikely. I'm sure he would pull out his cold-spare cell phone on a redundant network and continue the trip uninterrupted. Memory is overrated.
Part of my job is to keep an eye on servers. Since I have the system email me with status updates and the like, I pretty much have to "check" constantly, even if it's just to see if it's the system e-mailing me... Why don't you just have the problems emailed to you instead of continual status updates where you have to figure out if it's a problem or not? And those problem emails could get sent to a phone/pager or get filtered in your email differently so you would be immediately alerted and they wouldn't get lost with all those other emails.
...or some silly human. Funny:)
I think the ideal solution depends on your job. Definitely agree here, and everybody is going to find that balance that works for them.
That is a good point, but many of those 3rd party apps install by default in CGI mode, which runs as a separate process and still shouldn't crash IIS. Your point is only valid if running in ISAPI mode, and even then I'm not 100% sure that IIS shouldn't still be responsible for stability.
And I just wanted to further explain why "orphan" is the correct word over "replace". IIS won't initially kill it's own thread. When it orphans a worker process (thread), that means it just stops sending new requests to that process, but it allows it to continue running in case the thread is capable of resolving any outstanding requests on its own. So the new thread and the orphaned one can both be running at the same time. In the case of event 1077 specifically, the thread isn't even necessarily bad, it has just used more memory than what the virtual memory limit is set to, but by orphaning the process it allows a more graceful shutdown (once all outstanding requests have been served the thread will kill itself).
I re-read my post and I missed the part where I said Microsoft has to make 3rd party applications more stable. I guess you just made up a straw-man argument since you're incapable of arguing your point based on its own merits. But don't worry, I'll bite...
I can only assume the 3rd party applications you're speaking of would be the websites that are running on IIS. That's like saying if Word crashes when you're typing a letter to your grandmother that it's your fault for typing something that made Word crash. So no, any website you run on IIS shouldn't be able to crash IIS (apache is capable of this) just like any letter you type in Word shouldn't crash Word. It may crash the third party application itself, but that's not IIS's concern.
"Orphaned" is actually the correct word. Yes, I do know what the event means, I didn't have to google it like you. My point wasn't that the site isn't available and no where did I indicate that. And you have a loose definition of what 100% availability means - when a thread is orphaned, any users being served on that thread get an unresponsive site. Also if they refresh the page and pick up the new worker process then their previous session cookie is gone. I don't call that 100%. My point is that IIS still has threads crash unrecoverably, and instead of fixing the problem of threads crashing, IIS6 just lets it crash and starts a new one up automagically. So, again again again, since my simple point seems to be over your heads, IIS6 is not more stable than IIS5.
That would be the system log, not the application log, and you should look for event ID's 1077, 1074, 1013, etc. They're there. Even if you just left IIS6's default app pool configuration it restarts threads every 1740 minutes. So either 1) You changed the app pool settings for every app pool you have to never, ever restart worker processes and they never hit virtual memory limits (unlikely), or 2) you're lying.
Maybe, just maybe, you do not know how to keep an IIS6 installation stable? Or maybe, just maybe, I run many sites that people actually use.
