You don't even need turnstiles. DFW has quite a few exits that are normal "push-bar" doors, and they have some sort of motion detector that senses if someone starts to walk the wrong way and sounds an alarm. The alarm will also trigger if someone begins to walk out and then turns around to go back into the terminal past the "you must continue to exit" sign. They still post a guard, but presumably they will notice the alarm pretty quickly.
It's much faster than a turnstile (DFW does have those too) and seems to work pretty well.
"Dogshit" is a pretty apt description for how those handle...I had one as a rental last week (not an SRT-8 though). The SRT-8 Challenger handles worse than dogshit though. (Too bad, it's a great looking car).
She's (rightly) ridiculed for it because it wasn't a geography quiz, it was her response to inquiries about her foreign policy experience. Only someone trying to put some sort of positive spin on Sarah Palin would defend her saying this. It was a laughably dumb response, "100% true" or not.
Yes it was short short range in this case, but that is atypical. A cursory search reveals that snipers routinely take out targets 500m away, the current record is over 2000m.
Now I just think you're being willfully obtuse and like to call people names, but perhaps the wording of my post was not as clear as I originally though. I was not claiming that sharing files was vital to MY religious freedom. I used religion as one EXAMPLE of what some people might consider "wrong" about other people.
Tell me, when was the last time you were threatened with death or injury because of your religious beliefs? And, what exactly are those beliefs?
I have not been. I imagine Christians in Afghanistan AS AN EXAMPLE might have a different experience. In fact, sharing hidden files might very well be vital to their religious freedom.
My particular beliefs aren't relevant to the discussion. Religion is just one EXAMPLE that serves to show that your position of "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to hide" is an untenable position. There's always somebody who can argue that what you are doing or what you are advocating is "wrong." There's no universal standard for what is "wrong", that was the point of my post, and the point you seem to want to ignore.
Are you really that blind to the implications of what you are saying? (Never mind that the "if you aren't doing anything wrong" idiocy has been refuted time and time again in these very pages...). Not everybody agrees on exactly what is "wrong", you know. I'm sure some people would love to block any and all messages that would deny the existence of their chosen space wizard, because they consider that to be "wrong". I, on the other hand, consider such communication a vital defense against superstitious thinking. No matter which side of that particular issue you fall on, do you not see that the "if you aren't doing anything wrong" argument completely falls apart?
When a satellite fails, often it cannot be de-orbited. Several failure modes will cause this - the most common is the malfunction of the controller, communications unit, or onboard power system. When any of these fail, there's no way to command the retro-rocket to fire.
In the case of comm failure, seems like you could program it to automatically do a deorbit burn after, say, 120 days of not receiving any instructions from ground.
What exactly am I "wasting"? Are you concerned about the extra 20 or so bytes of bandwidth that you needed to read that? Nice of you to "waste" about 10 times that much in an anonymous reply no less. LOL. Shut up.
If you use Privoxy you can have Chrome with ad blocking as well. Works like a charm for me. Credit to this blog for pointing me in the right direction.
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to pick on your post in particular, I was just railing against the general misconception that seemed evident in a lot of posts related to auto racing.:-)
And yeah, I'd do just about anything to avoid traffic in DC...
I'm no big fan of NASCAR (I prefer Formula 1 and ALMS) but as someone who participates in local competitive driving events it irritates me that people think there's no athleticism involved in race car driving. The amount of focus and energy required in driving a vehicle at speed consistently is exhausting. I am quite tired after a day of 20 minute sessions, and professional drivers go 500 miles or more in a single event.
More to the point, how long until they start taking down all of these REAL terrorist websites that we always hear about in the news? If Al-Qaeda is able to communicate and release statements over the web, it seems logical that the Cyber Command (snicker) would want to interfere with that as much as possible. Yet I've never seen any reports of this type of action. Have I missed them somewhere?
Southwest has never had 767's. Those are widebodies. SW has used 737's exclusively for many years (you can find a few old pix of a SW 727 that they leased for a short period in the late 70's/early 80's time-frame).
Not sure what you are meaning when you say a "loud, pulsing engine noise" means a "lousy plane", either? The older 737-200's were pretty loud, but they have all been retired now.
2 AC's posted this, so in the interest of getting those correct responses noticed by those who filter out AC's....
This won't work if Comcast is sending the reset to both sides. The other party to the connection will accept the RST and drop the connection anyway, unless they have done the same in iptables as you have. So the fact that you are blocking RST's won't help.
I was affected by the "turf swap" in the opposite direction; I ended up as a Time Warner customer, and they were in my mind worse than Comcast.
I was actually pretty happy with the 8mb down that I was getting from Comcast, it was rarely down and I didn't notice much in the way of slowdowns (I also wasn't torrenting much back then).
When TW took over it was promised on flyers that nothing would change with the service. OK great. Oh guess what, my bill jumped $10 on the 2nd TW bill I got. I grumbled a bit but didn't do anything. Then on the 3rd bill it went up ANOTHER $10. No explanation, just $20 extra for the service over 2 months.
So I called TW and complained and the rep told me "Well just so you understand, we didn't raise your rate (emphasis mine). It's just that the package deal you had with Comcast expired and our package is different now." !!??! Nice script they provided for the rep to try and deflect these complaints, eh? "We're not raising your rate" but you have to pay us more because the package is different.
Lo and behold, I was mowing the lawn the next day and who should walk up but a Verizon FIOS rep going through the neighborhood. He got an easy sale that day.:-)
Oh yes, everything is pure black and white, we can't make any allowances for judgement calls these days, because that's too hard, we'd have to actually *think* about something instead of declaring it to be in some category or another. Do you *really* equate lying about a blowjob with lying about intelligence that has ended up getting thousands of people killed?

The problem is that nothing can be "forced" into any TLD.
...yet.
As noted in a previous post, the Atlanta metro area has 5.4 million so the 500000 figure is not a valid comparison.

And "for all intensive purposes" was never the phrase. It's "for all intents and purposes."

And what do you do when it's the CEO that keeps calling up saying he wants to be able to connect to YouTube while he's on the VPN and it's too slow?
Forcing all traffic through the tunnel may be ideal, but in the Real World(tm) split tunneling is often the only option.
Yes it was short short range in this case, but that is atypical. A cursory search reveals that snipers routinely take out targets 500m away, the current record is over 2000m.
Why not just hire sniper or two to make the trip with you?
RTFA...this is exactly what the article says doesn't work well because it often produces completely boneheaded moves on the part of the AI.
No, I argue by stating that people have valid motives for hiding things and that your blanket generalization fails.

No, it's sitting outside (unfortunately) at the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle as an exhibit.
