one of them had 4 from different states which I suppose somehow helped them with their terrorist activities.
Yeah, so you knew who he was four times as well!!!
Who knows, the next round of terrorists might just get 4 different video store memberships. That'll hit FOX news and everyone will be " OMG??? how did they get 4 video store memberships!!?? that must have helped them in some way.... "
It doesn't help them. Infact some states require you transfer your drivers license to their State when you move. How many here managed to 'lose' their license, and have two different ones from different states? Does that make you a terrorist...?
When you say "Why should a state attempt to do anything that deviates from the existing conditions?" do you realize that the "State" does not do anything, it is actually an individual with political interests in staying in power that does this. Saying "State" makes it sound like a faceless majority, where it is a powerful MINORITY that can influence the results. This is not Democracy.
I live in a certain town in Texas which is in a dry County. Any of the restaurants (Chilli's, Applebees etc... ) want to swipe your license when you order alcohol to ensure you are a 'member' of the private club (the way they get around the dry county bit.). It was made pretty clear to me by the locals when i arrived (in 2004) that if you get DUI the cops will use your purchases logged against your license in the DUI charge.
Do I have a problem with it? um, yeah. Can I do anything about it? nope. It's just par for the course living in the USA.
...but this 'drinking record' could also create problems for people in civil and criminal lawsuits as proof of alcohol purchases in DUI cases or evidence of alcoholism in divorce lawsuits."

What is "illegal" on a laptop that comes into the country? I can understand stuff like plans for a bomb or correspondence with a terrorist group. But that has to be an extreme. So what else are they looking for?
I dunno, but I bet you'd grab their attention with a desktop wallpaper of "TSA LICKS BALLS",
Or, if you plan well enough ahead of time, a picture of the TSA officers wife.
Or just travel with an old broken laptop and when he asks you to boot it, ask the guy to fix it first. - "but officer, I'm taking it to Best Buy for repair!?"
for whoever comes up with a handy wearable cursor control device
You mean some kind of "a free-floating, glowing, shifting polyhedron-shaped, mote of energy which could three-dimensionally "draw" and generate physical objects as they are needed, generally becoming the object in the process." like the one here?
OR the gizmo could acquire a small camera to provide the relevant image on the screen (of course the camera could be anywhere, such as behind you,......,
Sweet. I've always wanted to walk around in the third person.
Here in Texas, most of the roads are cement*, but I guess you could apply the same principle. Why would you store heat in Texas, it's here in abundance. Come take some.
Also, remember back when the President was on TV and was asked what was on his iPod... Beatles. The only way it got there was if he (by the RIAA definition) pirated it.
Lets hope they press charges. It might get this issue sorted out sooner rather than later.
Agree with your statements. And it's appears to be fairly widely publicized that child molesters are beyond reform, but the concern I have is that 'all Sex Offenders' get treated the same as Child molesters when it comes to the law. We've seen examples here, including an earlier post where a 17Year,2day old had sex with is 15year old girlfriend, (when he was 16Years, 364 days this was OK under that states law), but he is now labeled a sex offender for life.
I don't know what the answer is, and think those voted into office are responsible for figuring this out. Obviously anyone in office who isn't making it harder for all sex offenders becomes easy cannon fodder for their opponents. A difficult situation for sure.
I think you might be referring only to the purchased NAS boxes. I've been referring to an old mobo or lightweight PC that you've re-purposed to NAS. Both purposes are valid NAS - the latter (what i've been talking about) is based on the origion of NAS. These home devices came along long after NAS was using general purpose HW. I wouldn't even think of owning a pre-built NAS without a terminal - (SSH or even Telnet), but that's just me.
FreeNAS and Openfiler provide a terminal when you have a monitor and keyboard plugged into the NAS itself. And yes they are remotely administered by web GUI, but you can still access shell on the device itself.
Hamachi is not a desktop app on Linux - infact I'd have to say that's its major drawback. (info here). You're probably referring to the unofficial GUI for Hamachi on Linux - which IS experimental, here
You are right about MOST pre-built NAS with no terminal. I just did a quick search on Newegg and only found one pre-built NAS which has SSH admin, but they are available. A disadvantage of re-purposing old hardware is that it can often have higher power consumption than a pre-built one. My old 486 NAS has a 120W powersupply and I pulled the AGP GPU after installation (shutdown of course) and use inbuilt power management provide by FreeNAS. Only have one small fan at half speed, and the 4 Hard drives put out most of the heat when they're on.
Haven't needed to install Hamachi on my NAS, but seeing as we've been talking i'm just messing with it inside VirtualBox.

Oh, and This post, backs up my assertion that Brian was a Blogger. Not press.
Brian Lam was on Blogger Creds.
It was Adam Frucci that had the press creds.

So, did you play the game?
Go and play these 5 missions in the redistricting game from basic to advanced, and come back and tell me if you've changed your views or not.
Seriously, be honest.

I guess the summary decided to join in on the corner cutting...
My laptop 'Shipped' with Vista, because I couldn't get a dual core with Ubuntu for $450.... So i bought the Vista one on sale at BB.
Microsofts marketing can use the stat that my laptop shipped with Vista, but they do know it was never activated.
Oh, and Vista ran dog slow on a C700 (dual core) with 1GB RAM, but is lightning fast with Ubuntu. Go figure.

Leave it to you to not be able to add 1 and 1. (and enough of the passive aggressive already.)
Yes. It does run on most Linux based NAS (where you have access to a shell) such as OpenFiler.
