    Can you imagine being immortal like Duncan, and being buried alive? Assuming the soil was to hard to be clawed through, it would be an awful way to spend an eternity.

    If you are going to use the douche-bag "fixed that for you phrase, at least get it right. The pulse pre-dates human evolution. That is why I put in hundreds of millions of years.

    Now go troll somewhere else.

    With hundreds of millions of years of evolution, are there any systems in the human body that are dependent on the pulse to function properly?

    Hi, police cannot seize from you (in a legal sense) what is not yours. Defense fails.

    I dunno. Around here, if you have money, you likely had your cabinetry done by Amish. Done by hand, great amount of pride in workmanship, yet somehow not too much more expensive than Home Depot.

    Hi,

    If you read the other message I responded to, you would see I have no problem with the auto-lock. It is the email part I had a problem with.

    Have a nice day.

    So, you view this as immoral behavior, yet you admit (in other threads) to still doing this as well. Wow.

    I believe similar technology is used in some high security installations. I believe it was someone from Diebold (new company name escapes me) that talked about this.

    Hi Commodore,

    You again make assumptions about my behavior. I can quite honestly tell you I have not done any of the above except ad blocking, which is neither illegal nor amoral.

    You again fail to see the very obvious. You charged your services to someone else's account. This isn't complicated.

    As far as my "sinning", yes I have done things I wish I hadn't. However, you come here bragging about what you have done, and then continue to justify your actions using absolutely moronic logic. if you want to follow your "sin" analogy, then you have not "repented". While you are unrepentant, you are to be treated as though you an outside, shunned and ignored.

    The bottom line is that you stole from the people you did this to.

    No, moron, you are basically having a charge appear on someone else's account for services you got.

    And the services are not purely electronic. You got a service that really cost someone else money.

    And on top of that, you assume I download music/other files illegally. I don't.

    So, not only are you a thief, but you are not very bright. And you jump to conclusions that are not supported by the facts.

  15. Re:I lock my computer when I walk away on Schneier On Un-Authentication · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am more referring to the email part, not the lock part. Locking is fine. The automated email doesn't.

    And for god's sake, this is not AOL. Please don't type like you are.

    If no activity for X minutes, lock the PC and send an email reminder to the user that says "Hey Dumbass, lock your PC when you leave".

    Yeah, because I never sit at my desk for ten minutes on a phone call or reviewing paper notes.

    It is also poor form to pick up on one tangent to the discussion and miss out on the main point, especially when poster already noted that extrapolating was not appropriate. The main point, if you missed it, is that the expense of solar has already dropped a lot despite original poster's belly aching.

    Or you could read the article and find out that Perimeter had to be turned on by a human in the first place, and there are several ways that it could be turned off even if Perimeter determines that it should launch.

    Not really. Adjusting for inflation, we are still seeing a 14% drop in five years, or nearly 3% drop annually.

    Also, we are discussing one guy's experience. I'd still love to see a more formal chart of manufacturing costs and consumer cost per watt.
