I was (like a few others) adopted at birth, and have no medical history available. I also do not have a family history, although i can narrow it down to white(non-hispanic)( i think). Would a test like this give me any meaningful info to use? It be kinda cool to know what part of the world my birth ancestors came from, and it be nice to know if i had any chance of so-and-so disease...i think. Anyone else adopted, dont know their birth parents, and done this?
The price is close to something id seriuosly consider, but it seems the 100k one may be more useful to me...but i'll have to code awhile longer...
If more people used the word BOMB at an airport, would we get rid of the "zone-of-fear that airports have become" ? I think not.
If someone was wearing this on a street, perhaps it would not cause as quick of response, but on the other hand, the mates in the UK during the days of the IRA, might disagree.
I also do not see the harm in the charges she was arrested on, from TFA the bond was $750. She is a student at MIT, someone she knows can afford the bond, even if she or her family couldnt, andlater she can stand in front of a american judge, who will probably tell her she used bad judgement, stay out of trouble, pay a fine, etc. Its not like the Police/DA office charged her with terrorism, then we would be having a different conversation.
It is partially because of dumbasses like this, that "rights" are taken away. We used to have the "right" to say bomb in a airport, and "fire" in a theatre. People want to make a scene, that want to act like idiots, and we all pay for it. By loss of rights, and by occaisionlly apolgizing to mates from other countrys who come here and get fingerprinted.
As I once saw on here i think, "..take of all the warning labels, and let the problem take care of it self.."
i fly often, and it has never occured to me to do anything remotely like this, just wtf did this dumbfuck think was gonna happen.
Im sorry, but had they shot her...i for one would grieve for a second....then move on.
(had they killed her, i would have grieved for a full minute..then moved on)
...Then they wouldn't understand. Most of the family members/friends I have "helped" would ask me a question, then once I gave the answer would never ask again. They just wanetd their computer "fixed", they could care less about how it works, why it works, what a OS is, etc. And its not that bad doing it for free, since its family/friends. The part that sucks is sitting down with a windows PC thats 2 years old, and some bright user thought re-installing windows on it 6 months ago was brilliant. They did it by themselves, and are proud to let me know. I have to sit down, install a firewall (zonelabs), and aniti-virus(grissoft, avg) and ad-aware, all of which take significantly longer to load on a computer which is chock full of virus', spyware, and who knows what else...(amazing which relative like the pron, they dont know i know..which can be very odd sometimes, i wish I didnt know most of the time)
So make a picture book for kids, with high level drawings/snapshots. i.e. Here is a computer, here is a mouse, here is how you plug it into the wall...it will save you a lot fo grief, cause once your name is on the book....you'll had second cousins from step uncles hunting YOU down, asking for your help...
In Microsoft's images the strip mall has been replaced by the current small commercial complex and condos and my new garage with solar panels is clearly visible. ...
(and no, I'm not going to post my home address for people to compare images. I'm just too paranoid to do that:)
I guess the solar panels on your new garage arent a dead give away....
I used to work close to the NASA factory in New Orleans, where the main booster tank is made. They would shut down for the two weeks before fat tuesday 'cause they didnt want drunks making rockets parts. Chances are they installed the sensor the day after fat tuesday....look at it this way, would you want (or trust) rocket parts made in a city that kicked MADD (mothers against drunk drivers) out in 1977? Its a crazy fun place, everyone should visit N.O. sometime, but IMHO its not a good place to make rocket parts...
From TFA: But the nation's Justice Minister said that chasing pirates would only be a priority for the police if files were being downloaded in massive quantities.
So its the police chasing pirates, and only for massive quantities...most things are automatically excluded I would think. And it seems like a law which makes the police officer the "judge". He/She has to decide what is "massive" so on those grounds alone, any case can be beat..Now had the law stated, d/l'ing 24 meg of copyright music data in 1 year..we may have a problem.
Someone needs to do a >strings core and see what happened, probably just a overloaded chinese server, you know, 'cause of all the screening of western sites they are doing these days.
Some of us have to use it! My biggest complaint is that they could have done a lot better. I rememeber trying to get x86 support from them (with a corp contract in place) and there was like 1 guy at sun who even worked the x86 support, and he seemed clueless. Then they brought back x86 support after I had figured everything out myself...not complaining, just noting they could have done a lot better. Solaris 9 was just a blink, on to 10..,their 4 hour contact agreement only works when you dont really need them. Let something major take a crap, and they'll be out tomorrow, if your lucky...They had so much promise...just wish they could have done a better job. Once I get things stable, it usually stays that way, but their support is worse then dell when you really need it, it seems.
email me for invite...
I hope we dont bring the gmail servers down,./ affect, 'cause then i'll know TFA was just an *evil* way for gates to get his jollys...
I did testing with some early flash drives (about 2 years ago) and was able to write to them non stop, for three days straight. I could have le it go longer, but i had written enough to prove in a standard solaris/linux setup, the harddrive would last atleast 5 years...Setup was powerPC, runnign vxWorks, some c code, a CF scsi drive,and non stop writing/erasing...dont see a problem, much more reliabe in high impact situations
I first learned Pascal, Fortran, Basic, etc in the mid eighties-early nineties. But my first Software job was at Rockwell Collins programming in JOVIAL, (JOVIAL stands for "Jules Own Version of the International Algorithmic Language."), ne one else ever use that? (besides perhaps my old fellow employees at Rockwell Collins)...I'll be trying out Free Pascal tonite..been awhile...still looking for Free JOVIAL
If we throw out 100 ideas, and the dissidents choose 1 w/o informing us, then the goal has been accomplished. As usual the best place to hide is in plain site. Or use Al-Jazeera (non internet of course), they seem to do a decent job of hiding their sources....

Pay us to "protect" you..from us...no payment? Then we will send Fingers, Lucky, and Guido after to to cause harm.

Just curious, but wouldnt it be simple to just use the nyud.net:8090 "trick" for viewing wikpedia? Or is that blocked in China as well?
My ex-gf was a north Pacific salmon shark...somthing smelled fishy, thats for damn sure
