That'll be US$3000 for apostrophe misuse, at US$1000 per incident.
Is that the most meaningful thing you have to say? Did you bother to read the links or understand the concept?
I've given up on the illusion of privacy, and have accepted that I am going to be watched continously. In that sitution, I want to be seen by as many people as possible so that it can be easily proven that I have done nothing wrong.
David Brin did a very wonderful essay called "The Transparent Society". Where basically he argued that all camera's like stop light camera's, street corner camera's, and all of this big brother stuff should be open to the public to view. His idea was "Who Watches the Watchers" in order to keep government honest. Not to mention the theory that more people watching technically means more chance to be caught doing something wrong which increases the deterrent factor.
Ofcourse I know if a criminal has thier mind set on a crime, not amount of deterrent will stop him.
Also, just for fun, here's David Brin's Wiki article.
It's pretty amazing how criminals (alleged) cry about violated rights when apprehended.
What about the guy who was held hostage in his own home by 5 Sheriff Deputies while they dunked his head in a fish tank and a toilet, connected batteries/live electrical wires to his genetals, and put a gun to his head in an attempt to force him to sign a waver to allow them to search his home without a warrent. Funny thing was his wife set a tape recorder in the kitchen before being ordered out of the house.
Ofcouse that was over a year ago and the guy has since been conviced of unrelated drug charges. Are you saying that because this guy was a drug dealing peice of scum the police were allowed to violate his civil rights?
[i]You mean you can use Play-Doh for something other than sex?[/i]
I call BS on this. Every knows slashdoter's don't have sex. Unless you are attempting to reproduce female organs. Which in that case, you would have had to of seen one in real 3. And that comes back to my original point.

Specifies that the cow is male.
This may be the only parameter, but do not underestimate its importance.
Wouldn't this be better solved with some RFID chips implanted under the skin of the cows. Then bulls could get rejected before they got near the milking station.
So, lets say that you decide to violate the NASA no-sex regulations in the middle of a Mission to Mars... what do they do? Tell you to get off the ship?

Actually, the vote you off. Then they fire you, out of a cannon, into the sun.
Here in WA state, refusing to take a brethalyzer test is the same as failing one. Instant DUI pretty much.
How screwed up is that? Note, I don't drink, and definitely don't condone drunk driving. IANAL, but, isn't that self incriminating?
Does the state believe 100% in the accuracy of the test to conclude that one's refusal is admonition of guilt? What do you have go hide if you're not guilty, right?
In the state of Ohio, refusal to take a breathalyzer test results in losing your license. No if's and's or but's. Which to me seems a fate worse than a a DUI convection.
What's sad is refusal to take a breathalyzer results in like a year's suspension of your license. Where the max for a first offense DUI is 180 days loss of license. I hate it when the power mongers take the stance that "If your not guilty, you have nothing to hide.", and therefore shouldn't mind submitting to whatever voodoo that is currently en vogue with law enforcement.
Speaking of DUI's there's a difference between DWI & DUI. DWI means you are intoxicated, and DUI is under the influence (meaning it could be other illegal substances).
Because God knows that "younger girl running away from her parent's house with some older guy" was UTTERLY UNHEARD OF in all of human history before the Internet arrived.
My personal favorite is the 15 or 16 year old girl that ran off with a like 53 year old man. The catch is they met at church, where they both sang in the choir.
For just few months we have massive improvement of internet bandwidth and storage.
So it's a matter of time that a hardware will arrive that OS and applications will use that free Giga spaces. The good thing about it is your data and OS preference will be centralized. Weather you use internet cafe, pc in the office or school they are still there.
Why, when I can carry SLAX around on a thumb drive and have that now.
I up until about 2 months ago had Yahoo's SBC DSL. This means I had 2 gigs of storage back when gmail was still at 1 gig. Ofcouse I had pop access long before gmail offered pop access and quite afew other extra's from yahoo. Even then I choose gmail.
Yahoo is full of bloat. It's a hassle to get to your email and do anything with it. Gmail, like alot of what google does is alot cleaner looking.
The only props I will give yahoo is for things like email attachments. When at work and I have an idea, I often draw out a rough diagram in paint and write up several paragraphgs about it. Being as we use 2k at work, I can's save the pictures as jpg's and gmail dislikes bmp's. So I email them from my yahoo account to gmail. Or gmail bitches about screen savers, something about they contain executible code. So once again I email them to myself from yahoo.
If gmail would get around the 10 meg limit for file attachments, I think that would be the only improvement I would suggest. In this day and age, 10 megs is nothing. Why not give atleast 25 or 50, or make me cream my pants and give me 100 megs.
You seem to be unusually scared of creepy-crawlies
I do this is a side buisness out of my basement. I personally do not have a want or need for cock roaches in my home. And yes, I have seen cases be opened and roaches crawl out.
That's a good list, might I add afew small things.
The alcohol prep pads that hospitals use. I usually buy them at home health places cheaply. Bottles of rubbing alchool with q tips and swabs. And lastly, those large anti-bacterial computer/equipment wipes.
I hate starting on a case that's covered in tar because their owner smokes. That's bare min an additional $25 fee if I have to wipe the computer down to work on it.
I also keep assorted fly swatters/heavy hand held objects to squash anything that tried to crawl out of a case when I open it. On that note, I keep large clear plastic garbage bags on hand. These are used in alot of factories as liner's for 55 gallon drums. If something does crawl out of the computer, the computer and any assoicated parts go into a bag, the bag is tied shut, and a zip tie is affixed below the knot in the bag. Then the owner is called to come pick up their computer.
Punch. Modern version of this, big coleman cooler, a bottle each of Everclear, Vodka, Whiskey, a case of beer, several cans of fruit punch, chunks of fruit, a bag or two of ice, close lid, shake, serve. Guarenteed to curdle your stomach
We always made jungle juice/witch's brew differently. It also involved slices/peices of fresh fruit, minus the beer, and a splash of Jose Curvo.
Or better yet:
1. Cut a small plug from a water mellon
2. Inject your poison of choice
3. Replace the rine plug
4. Let it fester in the fridge for afew days
5. ???
6. Toss your guts

Hey, the title of the site does not specify what kind of nerds it caters to -- sometimes us science/history nerds need news too. It's neat learning where things come from, whether those things are ancient cocktails or pieces of software.
Plus the booze angle appeals to the average computer scientist/student:)
I think this has inspired a new sig for me. "Booze, helping nerds get laid for 5,000 years."
I just went to their site and tried to search for something random. While it pulled up alot of results, when I hit back to search again....I got a reload of the same damned page. What's up with that?
Feel free to join us at #ohiolinux on irc.oftc.net, or sign up for the mailing list on the webpage and keep in contact with others going to the event. There will be lots of people coming into town for the weekend, I'm sure we can arrange meetups before the convention as well.
I've signed up for the mailing list and I'll check out the chatroom when I get home from work.
Sadly, I work midnight shift the night before so I'll probably not stick around after about lunch time.
there are several large corps in columbus, mostly banks and insurance companies... all of which use windows. if anyone is coming out of town, i work graveyard at a hotel and you guys are welcome to do whatever you want.
I will be there, but then again I live in columbus. Perhaps a/. contigent?

Think about it. File sharer's share the wealth to all memembers of the group. Does that sound like any other group?
We must wipe out this new red scare. Before these people start, dare I say it, thinking freely and comming up with new ideas and thoughts.
There you go. Actual distribution. Actual copyright infringment. Known date and time.
I'm no legal expert, but that sounds like entrapment to me.
