also, there are cases where police use it as instrument of torture, sometimes just for amusement.
Notice how very many kinds of police we have nowadays, and how we're being conditioned to accept their abuse, violation of body and privacy, and submission to their will without question.
the international banking cartel, of which our Federal Reserve is a local branch office, will never allow it. That's why we can't pass a bill to audit the Fed.
very sure, there are trajectories for which an object can end up with zero relative velocity to its landing point on the earth, and at the ground. Impact velocity: zero.
wrong, you miss the point entirely, there are trajectories for which after passage through the earths gravity the net relative velocity with respect to the earth is zero, at the ground!
besides what others posted here, you should also realize it would be possible to put a 100km asteroid (10x the size of the one in article) on a trajectory such that it would land on the earth with essentially zero kinetic energy. In other words, merely knowing the size of an asteroid or even its composition tells you nothing about relative velocity with the earth or angle of strike, all of which affect total impact energy.
To have its nature and import properly expressible, comprehensible, and accessible to the layman, the universe first had to, from the ashes of deads stars over billions and billions of years, invent Carl Sagan.
so I didn't want to use my bandwidth for my fun and used a free hosting service instead for my photo, big deal. It'll be accessible for at least a year. And even then by context anyone can deduce my point that OpenBSD runs GNOME and Conky with effects just dandily, even on laptops.
the concerns of that "link shortener" article are laughable. Author is warning of a doomsday when archives of posts from Twitter and other social networking sites become a tangle pile of broken links because of "short URL use" (or more to the point, because of use of free file hosting).
All the while forgetting that Twitter and such are driven by twits and twats who post the most inane and useless offal. In short, article is fretting about useless spew of garbage becoming more useless. Let the shit bit-rot.
bullshit, for software project 15 years with tens of thousands of users worldwide is smashing success and proven endurance. There are multi-million dollar commercial software success stories that have risen and fallen in a shorter time and are no longer used.
Your beef about asterisk might be a bad assumption. I build asterisk systems as part of my job. The 1.6 series asterisk has all manner of issues, you'll be wanting to use 1.4.x (1.4.25 or above) if you intend to do production stable system. As it happens, OpenBSD even has binary 1.4.25 package ready to install at a single command.....
And, in the ports (scripting-based system), you have 1.6.0.25. which is considered a more stable of the 1.6.x series, such as it is.
Their definition of security goes far beyond pre-emptive bug fixing, but the author of that article is ignorant of OpenBSD security, and Unix security in general, and moreover thinks MAC will save him from the common exploits that bring down real machines (which any experienced Unix admin knows is total B.S.)
The Fujitsu CEO reacted angrily to the news of the impending release of the Seagate 3TB hard drive. "Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of storage in this country. The Storagebird 1 TB was the drive to own. Then the other guy came out with a 2TB drive announcement. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the MaxStorageBird 2. That's a drive with monster cache, for performance. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened--the bastards went to 3TB. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling two gigs and a big cache. Monster cache or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five terabytes.
Sure, we could go to three terabytes next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why! . . .
We didn't claw our way to the top of the storage game by clinging to the two-terabyte industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five terabytes is the biggest chance of all.
Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent--I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick two more terabytes in there. I don't care how. Make the platters so thin they're invisible. Put some on the motor magnets. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth terabyte in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!"
it's just a couple planetary gear systems, instead of using brakes to lock into a single gear like most automobiles, slippage of gear holders is allowed. you can do that either with brakes (and lose energy by friction) or do with motors and pay the price in energy that way. Absolutely nothing here it that wasn't known a century ago.
I'm sick and tired of the extreme level of ignorance of science and engineering in our country, and how stupid ideas get acclaim because of it.
hahahaha! you certainly drank the "wah on tarrah" kool-aid
you imagine the troops haven't been hostage for the last eight years, using their blood to grease the skids for the defense contracting industry and for a political rallying point? that's ALL they've been bleeding and dying for! That's all this "war" is about.
Here's some reality for you. The "Taliban" that hosted bin Laden is long gone, today the "Taliban" is any disgruntled afghan with a gun. We dropped the ball on Afghanistan and Al Qaeda, put it on the back burner, and instead went for war in Iraq to further defense contractor profit enhancement and gain another neocon agenda rallying point.
We need to drop the budget to zero on these pointless wars now. budget be damned, indeed.
if it was recoverable by file system check it wasn't bricked. I would be happy to send you instructions to demonstrate what a "bricked" computer is like that you can experience your very own truly bricked system. And since I'm not an OS snob, I'll be delighted to help you achieve brickdom regardless of any version of Windows you happen to be running.
I'm a hard core Unix admin and systems programmer with over 25 years experience, and I can vouch that for desktop use, Ubuntu puts the polish on its 95%+ Debian core. Sure, I can make Debian function as a desktop, but always with every released version of Debian it requires my Unix experience to get everything to work.
Debian is awesome for servers. But I'm using Ubuntu LTS on my laptop, home and work desktop.
Consider this, that for something to appear "weightless" near the surface of the earth, its average density must be *exactly" that of surrounding air. So if ball lightening appears to "float" in one situation, it could very easily rise or fall with the slightest change in air pressure.

now that's funny, considering openbsd has been around since 1995, three years after the first real linux distro.

we did even better than that, we turned Iraq into an Al Qaeda recruiting center.

Following the LTS path my Ubuntu is quite stable, thank you very much. Starting my fifth year with it as desktop.
I can second that.

the ball lightening I saw did go downward
no. it's still the fastest possible travel path, a space-time geodesic.
