    Incompetence has never been a reason for dismissial in government why start now.

    So that explains why the whitehouse banned the term war on terrorism.

  3. Re:A challenge... on Toyota Black Box Data Is More Closed Than Others' · · Score: 1

    So knowing that the brake and acceerator are both engauged 5 seconds before the accident is irrelevent, what about a car that suddenly accelerated forward just before the front airbags went off being able to decisivly tell that a person was crashed into and forced into another car may not be obvoius expecially if the people are in critical condition. A black box won't give the whole picture but if gives investiagotors more pieces and can help give them a clear picture.

  4. Re:A challenge... on Toyota Black Box Data Is More Closed Than Others' · · Score: 1

    All you're going after is the black box, once you are able to pull the data from it the rest becomes pretty easy. Simply put the car on a lift then vary the inputs like throttle position, brake position, speed, rpm, blinker placement, open doors, ... Yes there will be variables in there that will be unknown but if I can change how many lives, score, ammo ... in a video game by doing comparative searches in the ram how is this any different, hell some games even try to make doing this harder by making those values derivatives but it still can be done very easily.

    Grain storage would have been a problem mice would be able to get into the storage and shit all over the place thus making 3 weeks of harvesting a waste of time.

  7. Re:What Happens When ... on Privacy With a 4096 Bit RSA Key — Offline, On Paper · · Score: 1

    Every security briefing I've been to they say don't write your password down on a piece of paper. Your data can only be as secure as the key and if tracking access to the key is important then paper is not the way to go. A usb key can be set up to track access and tampering with the key can be detected much easier then someone taking a photo of a piece of paper.

    There is all ready precidence John Fogerty was sued because fantasy records claimed that "The Old Man Down The Road" had the same chorus as "Run Through The Jungle" which he recorded with CCR. Forgerty won the case when he showed that they were similar but different.

    And programmers do so for the fun of coding and should not be compensated either.

    I do a better then average job my pay is better then average if I was in a union I would be paying someone to negotiate a lower salary so one of my lazy inept co-workers could make the same as me.

    North Korea did a good job handleing food shortages in rural areas they told their people to go eat grass.

    When I think of progress I think of North Korea, China, Cuba, and Venezuela socalism has made them great at adapting. And nothing is better at handleing change then the USPS they always handle the holiday rush so well.

    Let me get this straight with 92% of the population believing in God and 8% atheist. If the 8% of Athiest had a IQ of 103 then the other 92% would have a score of 99.7, you are not doing much for your statement that athesist are smarter.

  16. Re:Politicians playing the King! on Federal Deadline Hobbling eHealth IT Rollout · · Score: 1

    Obama does have some sense of health care systems, Michael Obama worked at the University of Chicago Medical Center and pushed the Urban Health Initiative, a patient dumping scheme where "low income" patients were redirected to clinics so beds could be saved for people with insurance. The firm that was hired to sell the Urban Health Initiative is owned by David Axelrod so the Obama administration does have experience.

    It's not that the private sector is good it's just that the public sector is much worse. At least with private sector you get a choice of who bends you over.

    The FCC can't do shit he is not radiating, wire mesh is used for plaster, houses with plaster may not have slats they have a wire mesh also foil backed drywall (fireboard) could be used, all of these things are within code and he could not be forced to remove them.

  25. Re:not expensive to use wire mesh on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 1

    No need for mesh he can replace the drywall with fire rated drywall that has a foil back. Just tape the studs with aluminum tape so there is contunity between the boards and put a transparent mesh on the windows while it won't be perfect the levels would be knocked down.
