While I haven't run ZFS to compare it to, I don't understand why you would assert that md is broken and LVM is unreliable. I have a good dozen machines that have been running for 4+ years without incident. I have nothing but good things to say about them, and the FS performance is far better than the Windows servers we replaced. In fact, we specifically needed better disk performance than NTFS was capable of, and got it.
So if a police department takes even petty crimes seriously, it can have some very good effects. First is the reduction in the crime rate - fewer petty crimes still reduce crime rates and insurance costs.
What do you expect a declining crime rate to do to a police department's budget? Particularly in the area of salaries? It's not clear to me that cops always have a strong incentive to reduce the crime rate, per se.
I'm not suggesting that this attitude prevails, or is pervasive, but the economist in me notes that it could be a factor.
I get around that through a pretty intricate password that has enough numerals in it to get around the difference filter. Eg. "23r()Boat$23" (23rowboats23). When the prompt comes up, I change 23 to 24 or whatever, write 24 on a sticky, and I'm good. This let's me figure out what the password is on the myriad of accounts I have to maintain, just by counting backwards. The root password is quite robust, and would be good without changing, but they won't let me get away with that on the email/domain server.
On our mainframe, which is the ultra double secure platform for us, the custom access control system requires exactly eight characters, which can only be numbers and A-Z, uppercase. Which is nice.
The odds are good that the device would use either a cellular frequency or an FRS frequency. If I were designing it, I would have it phone home periodically and dump a file. In between such calls, it wouldn't be emanating much in the way of RF. The GPS unit would have some small amount of electric field, but I'll bet it would be hard to distinguish from other car stuff.
BTW, when you mention Fox News as a bad site for news, I'm willing to bet that your more misinformed then anyone who has ever viewed fox news. There hasn't been any studies claiming Fox news puts out erroneous information any more then any other station including PBS AND BBC.
Oh, how about this one ? In fairness, this measures the effect of watching TV news and Fox in particular, not their content.
This study aside, Rupert Murdoch has flat out said that he doesn't think it's his company's responsibility to be objective.
Get the corporate to pay 200% of the amount as non-tax-deductible fine
Fines and penalties are already generally not deductable for tax purposes, if paid to a government body. Settlements in lawsuits, however, are, as are payments of back wages.
You know, I've been working as a salaried employee for 25 years, and I have -always- had a manager that was reasonable about me grabbing an afternoon off. I don't think it's that rare. In most of the jobs, our relationship was such that I didn't even have to ask for it, I just informed my manager that I was doing it.
Ray, the syntax is s/"stuff i'm looking for"/"stuff to replace it with"/g The s stands for substitute, the g means do it globally in the line. You keep on with the lawyering, we've got your backside on the search and replace regexes.;-)
It seems to me that a REAL sign of intelligence would be to use those smarts to figure out how to get along with one another.
Why would that necessarily be intelligent? Putting aside for a second definitions of what intelligence really is (some sort of capability for problem solving, however defined), the evolutionary advantage of intelligence would be to ensure perpetuation of your species. If another species is competitive with yours, the safest, and possibly therefore the most intelligent approach, is to eradicate it, no? Getting along with another species opens up yours to the risk that the other species might follow this line of reasoning, and take you out.
I've had the same experience with the police. The Seattle police are all over the papers right now with some officers' misadventures in Sturgis this weekend. The authorities feel impunity to act how they will. We should be frightened, and I, for one, am.
UAC does exactly what we want it to do. It allows the OS to lock down it's configuration, and prevents programs from altering the configuration without the user's knowledge. If the user clicks OK, then the user has been informed of the virus trying to install itself, and the OS has done it's job, which is to prevent the access until approved.
I don't know where people get the "myriad dialogue boxes" stuff. I get a dialogue box when I try to install software. Period. Well, that's exactly when I want to see this, and UAC is rather less troublesome than the popup that Linux presents for the root password, since it can be addressed with the mouse, rather than the keyboard.
Linux, OTOH, will happily install a package under the current UID without alerting the user, and then blissfully wait until the package is run by root, pwning your machine.
But there is a fair amount of clinical evidence from observers that MDMA in particular does facilitate a beneficial experience. See this
If you haven't been through the experience of a hallucinogen, the tendency is to think it's like getting drunk, only seeing cartoons. It's not. Depending on the dosage, it's in many ways a much more clear headed experience. Particularly in the latter stages of the experience, the thoughts and philosophizing are an important and, IMO, valid part of the experience.
I'll agree with you on it's canine nature, but once Toshiba updated it's motherboard drivers, I have to say that Vista has been very stable, perhaps more so even than XP Pro. UAC is annoying, but it's doing what we said we wanted windows to do, which is to implement application security.
That's where I'm at. My new $600 living room laptop can't load XP due to the drivers, and Ubuntu/Madwifi doesn't work with the wireless. So I have one, count it, one, POS Vista machine in the house.
Pay no attention to the moron - there have been recent studies showing theraputic benefit from MDMA, and Albert Hoffman, the discoverer of LSD, was both effective throughout his career and also convinced of LSD's beneficial effects from his own experience.
Been there myself, and I understand what you are saying. Hallucinogens can be revelatory.
I believe that cognitive behavior therapy deals with this pretty well, so I'm not sure that you can conclude that this is hardwired. There is a great book, called Feeling Better, by David Burns, if you know anyone in this place.
Well, he can still take it with him, but you'll still have it. And he really will, and there will be a lot of stuff that won't have been entered into Salesforce or whatever you have. But it's better than nothing.
I don't think so. The company gets to deduct the salary and other expenses, just like any other employee, but the companies I have worked for never got anything special for hiring interns that I knew about, and I was in management.
It's not about the intrusiveness, but about the accuracy of any conclusion to be drawn. There is a reasonable conclusion that the urine they get from you is all yours. There is not the same conclusion that can be drawn about anything found on your keyboard, at least in most office situations.

Oh? Try using an Atheros 5007 chipset for wireless.

Is that the fourth law of thermodynamics, where supreme energy can only be expended after his Noodliness has had a fresh smoothie?

Yeah, I wonder what the cows' view of this is...
I think human behavior illustrates my point. The Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, or the situation in the former Yugoslavia is illustrative.

Around here (Seattle), Staples stores will do this for a nominal charge.

Excuse my ignorance. Is this referring to packaging the Vista drivers into an XP distro?
