I think it'll work out well. Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay is a deep rich flavor with resemblance to cola undertones. Coca-Cola with coffee (don't know if I'd call it "Blak" but, whatever) would be very similar without the 80 proof.:)
More than likely he fraudulently misrepresented his identity while calling Bellsouth in order to obtain information that he should not have had access to.
Sounds like a perfect opportunity to increase the scope and authority of the police. Not only will you as the user be subjected to police inquiry while sipping an espressor but the burden of proof will be on you to produce papers verifying that you do indeed subscribe to this particular wireless broadband provider.
"Where are your papers?" now has a whole new meaning.
You make a very interesting point about the way governments worked. When lobbyists and other well-connected individuals, usually with significant wealth, begin leaning on the politicians the politicians will listen. If the hardline companies want to stifle competition from wireless access they don't need to confront the emerging industry directly. Instead they make the implementation so unmanageable that the effort isn't worth the gain. The wireless industry, unless it dies out entirely, will seek ways to make massive automated authentication possible. Sooner or later they will investigate personally identifiable hardware. Those lobbies will further the cause of trusted computing groups. In the end the consumer loses, more and more identity is lost, and the profit is soaked up by the government and both sides of the business.
And I walked over to the bench there, and there's--Group W is where they put you if you may not be MORAL enough to join the army after committin' your special crime.
There was all kinds of mean, nasty and ugly-lookin' people on the bench there --there was mother rapers--father-stabbers, father-rapers! FATHER-RAPERS sittin' right there on the bench next to me!
And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible and crime fightin' guys were sittin' there on the bench, and the meaniest, ugliest, nastiest one--the meanest father-raper of them all--was comin' over to me.
And he was mean and nasty and horrible and all kinds of things, and he sat down next to me. He said, "Kid, what'd you get?"
I said, "I didn't get nothin'. I had to pay fifty dollars and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested FOR, kid?" and I said, "Litterin'."
And they all moved away from me on the bench there, with the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean, nasty things, till I said, "And creatin' a nuisance."
And they all came back, shook my hand and we had a great time on the bench talkin' about crime, mother-stabbin', father-rapin', --all kinds of groovy things that we was talkin' about on the bench, and everything was fine.
At no other time in history has the collection of taxes been so automated. In centuries past there was a feedback system of what a fair tax was. That system was governed by how well the people were doing. If the landowner ask for too much there just wasn't any way to take more from the peasants without initiating a physical confrontation. In many cases this was done and peasants were outright killed to intimidate the remainder into reaching deeper into their pockets or, in many cases, signing over into legal debt which could be used against them for all years to follow.
In today's society it is completely automated for them to take us down to our very last dollar. There is no way for us to regulate this. There is no way for the taxpayer to say "No". Most employers require that you submit to taxes or they rescind the job offer. I've heard that the IRS isn't fun to deal with either.
There is no common sense when these humans have a limitless supply of money.
Give them some credit. They're Microsoft. They're not as hot and agile as Google is. I think we should all congratulate Microsoft for a job well done and give them a fair chance at the future.
You've got that backwards. Cancer currently is viewed as singular entity which should be neatly separated from the body. Very few research groups take the approach that cancerous pockets are naturally occuring cyclical events within the body and that they are products of the environment around them. Cancerous pockets vary in frequency and amplitude depending upon the overall health of the individual.
From what I understand little brown spots (beauty marks) are defunct miniature benign skin tumours. The immune system and surrounding tissue of the person who has them was obviously able to control and deal with the growth appropriately.
Cells are like people. When one begins displaying odd behavior the reactions are the same: 1) send signals to calm down. 2) adopt some of the same signals to soothe the aggravated cell through feedback mechanisms. 3) send out signals to recruit the immune system to come in and check things out. Immune cells are specialized pieces of machinery which pass judgement on other cells. Sometimes the immune system is horribly wrong--that causes arthrities, some types of diabetes, and may play a role in neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The entire situation is environmental. If you receive an injury then it's proper for cells to begin exhibiting abnormal behavior. Immune cells come in and kill the weak while the strong, perhaps still behaving oddly but demonstrating the requisite characteristics for returning to normal, are allowed to proliferate. Immune cells are finely tuned pieces of equipment which assess the environmental situation and decide which cells, if any, are behaving improperly. This same mechanism applies to chemical imbalances like ulcers are infected food. The immune system doesn't wipe out your entire digestive tract over too much coffee but you better believe those cells in the digestive tract aren't behaving normally when that caffeine hits.
Some of the best work in characterizing the workings of cellular interaction came about due to research in HIV treatment. While the association may be too vague for most people to make this is the basic theory behind ImClone's monoclonal antibody technology. Their business plan is based on technologies which were refined while studying intercellular interactions. Here, though, we see the effect of quarterly profits. The only way to profit from research in intercellular interactions was to use it directly to treat cancer. When we're forced to spend time on bringing the product to market we're left with hardly any time to continue analyzing and refining out knowledge of how the cells talk to each other.
The field has a long way to go and I would love to contribute to it. I'm leaving a position this week and I hope to find the proper environment soon (before the savings runs out).
1 out of every 1000 stolen identities are actually used, due to the amount of time it takes to use the identity, limiting a single thief to 250 identities a year
That means that a single thief averages 250000/year? How many thieves are there?
Whether or not the identities are used makes no difference. It's plainly obvious that someone isn't doing anything at all to secure their data.
Carcinomas are statistically malignant because the vast majority of them get removed by the immune system when they're a collection of little more than 25-50 malfunctioning cells. If a carcinoma makes it to a physically noticeable size, or a size where its chemical output has a drastic effect on overall health, then there's a good bet that the carcinoma has the immune system at bay. It's usually the degradation in the immune system resulting from fighting a carcinoma that allows the drastic effect on overall health which leads to seeing a physician.
Statistically, though, the immune system has a pretty good handle on this. Consider that at any point in your life there are probably 25-50 small pockets of cells beginning to go bad. I've often wondered how many times metastasis was really metastasis or if were a product of the physician seeing what they want to see. Many times it's a completely unrelated cancerous area which is now being allowed to proliferate because the immune system is compromised. Because of this I'm not particular fond of extreme chemo.
Or, they probably mean they just follow what is written here @ this URL below, taking the 1/2 hour to implement its techniques (fully explained):
That link is really neat and informative. Is there a manpage which describes those hundred or so settings, or do I just have to take it on faith that those are the correct settings? Is the documentation available anywhere?
Yes, most of wifi security is obscurity. Most of us rely on the hope that our neighbor isn't going to grab and analyze our packets to crack the WEP key. How automated are those tools on the Windows platform, and how much do people care to spy on their neighbors if they're technims?
I would never put a wireless router on the perimeter.
Asking for trouble may not be a crime and, considering the complete lack of morals and values within our government, I wouldn't want it to be. However, in a perfect society, asking for trouble should and would be a crime.
I know. There was recently an article about some locality on the northeast coast (New York? Pennsylvania?) that wanted to make unsecured WAPs illegal. That sucks but, truthfully, it's a symptom. The problem is that internet technology was rolled out too soon, too quickly, and without proper public education. It made it very profitable but it also turned society upside down. Considering who made the most money off of the event I'd say that Wall Street should be accountable.
Concerning the state of modern day antivirus software. If you really want to put on a tin foil hat, try this one:
Who are the people best qualified to research and write viruses? Antivirus writers.
Or, more appropriately (considering chicken vs. egg):
Who are the people best qualified to research and write antivirus software? Virus writers.
Is antivirus software really antivirus software? No. It's really virus tracking software. At some level in these A/V companies these programmers are playing a game of who can write the best virus--and they're using customers as tallying points.:) People are paying money to count score for someone else's game.
If the distribution of people's personalities knocking on doors resembled the distribution of applications asking for network access on an infected Windows machine I'm sure people would have disabled doorbells centuries ago.

Yeah. We're pretty much doomed.
Are you saying this is a pimp scheme?
Aren't we all?
The mods are too hung up on drama.
Do you need a research associate?
It's easier to form a new ocean than it is to ask the company for a raise.
And you're probably depressed.
Not that I can afford to chuck $50 for an 8 foot power cord...
:)
That thing rules.
