There is Child Porn in every government server. It got there via the police who brought it to look at, and then the links to that porn got distributed, all hush hush of course.
This, I understand, takes place in countries where you are guilty, until proven innocent. Right?
Well I for one am a bit baffled at the idea of Wind turbines effecting someones health. Is this one of those crack pot ideas, like being allergic to cellphones and wifi?
I watched a youtube presentation about wind turbines. The noise produced by the turbines is of a low annoying audible frequency, and this noise travels far, very far. So, if you live a few miles away, you have to sleep with the windows closed all year, and with incessant and constant rummm rummm rummm.
Try that for 24/7 for you, and then think of a dairy herd sharing the fields.
Thanks to the incomprehensible network of laws, chances are the victims of a false positive are already guilty of something else, so they deserve it.
And I guess America deserves it for continuing to vote Republocrat.
False positives are likely to be acceptable as they will be mining masses of date for juicy bits to pass onto human operators who spend all day reading through terrible filth and slowly going insane (I had a similar job to this). Missing key details is far more worrying than passing a bit of extra work onto the human operators.
Is it possible that a sexual predator is an individual who never speaks of Sex and thinks sex is dirty? In other words, that person (male or female) cannot stop thinking of sex, but must never mention it in any conversation for fear it will reveal his true thoughts and wishes. And I guess he attempts to realize his wishes.
I tried to realize my wishes when I was a teenager, about 55 years ago. But I was religious, brainwashed that sex was dirty, and I was too shy to know otherwise. We were taught to live with wet dreams.
Ahh, there were some great opportunities in those days. It was only after marriage that I realized that I was lied to.
The need to strip search is for a arrstable offense resulting in detention in a prison facility. If you find yourself going to prison, you will be subjected to the search. Don't like it? Well, don't break the law.
This isn't about prison (which is for convicted criminals), this is jail, which you can go to merely for being suspected of a crime. You don't have to actually break the law. You usually don't even get to see a judge or your lawyer first. Forty years ago this is something we would've accused the Soviets of and criticized them for it while saying that America is better than that. Now we'll get people doublethinking that it's freedom.
I guess the reasons for the search are few, such as concealed weapons, or drugs. or to be just ornery.
GWB introduced the extra ordinary concept of fear, and now the judiciary and legislature is acting as an army against the US citizens. Zimmerman is an example, Strip searching by a robot might be ok, but not by someone of the same sex. -- Do they say that women can search men, and vice-versa.
Re the Sabbath. The religious jews begin the Sabbath with sundown. They have a great family supper, with good food, and lots of winding down leading to relax. The next morning, it is off to prayers. Some go at 6am, home for 10am, others go anytime up to 10:30 or so. Walk to synagogue, following prayers, a walk home, with a shot of shnaps before leaving the synagogue, No big drinkers or drunkeness. Once home, the lunch time with wife, kids, and some friends, then a two hour snooze, followed by some torah study or similar from talmud, or mishnah. If it is summer, some light meal (supper), off to prayers, and at sundown, the day of rest is over. For the ultras, Sunday is a day of work. For others, another day for shopping, etc.
Today on the radio, the results of a think tank about the economy and the aging population came out with the following:
In the USA, with outsourcing of work, companies need fewer and fewer people as the actual manufacturing will be done outside of the USA. The engineering work, by a select few people, will result in major employment outside of the USA and in large unemployment within.
The projections are: Today, 40 percent of unemployed and the retired are supported by 60 percent of the employed. By 2025, the figures will be reversed. This will cause hardships for the large corporations, and some will merge with others as there will not be enough domestic consumers with money.
Moreover, the small entrepreneur will not be able to compete with the oligopoly of large corporations. Democracy will also suffer as lobbyists may have more say than citizens.
What can be done? The radio report suggested that large corps have a responsibility to ensure that there will be domestic jobs to permit paying customers. That is only possible of there is local manufacturing. This means, curtailing outsourcing, or insisting at least, that half of the critical products be manufactured domestically (such as is done with cars).
This projection does worry me, but it will be a concern for the generation now in high school -- my kids and grandkids. (By the time it take effect, would I be alive to see it, as I am in my early 70's).
Is this not the USA violating the airspaces of Mexico and Canada. The USA is saying that a person cannot fly to Canada or Mexico without USA approval.
I guess terrorists or others will fly to Cuba, and then to Mexico, Venezula, or Canada from Cuba. if the supposed bad guys were terrorists, would they come to Canada or Mexico first because they are from countries where the USA has bombed the shit out of them..
Actually, Since Adobe is dropping flash support for Linux, the FOSS community will probably find quite a few developers that will introduce newer and better players. When one door closes, another opens.
Besides, would flash not continue to work with ndiswrapper? If not so, what is the concern?
I for one would like to see a fully free unencumbered flash replacement where, being universal, anyone from any operating system could make their own interactive displays. The question to ask, is Adobe under pressure from the big 3 to stop Linux support? .
Best way to react is to have a wall timer to insure TV is really off. Another way if you can monitor the upstream network communications if you can. I mention power off during off times in case your stuff is recorded to a hard disk or SSD memory for uploading while you are at work.
I am in Canada, I use a dumb phone, Please rate my service which is: 250 text messages per month unlimited talk in Province of Quebec (similar to no roaming if in-state) Caller ID, 3 way calling and voice mail (vm is 25cents to download) It comes to $23/month, I had to purchase the phone. I travel by subway to/from work. Phone does not work in the underground subway.
Went to BB, to buy a cord mouse. The house brand was $20.00, Went to Dollarama and got it for $5.95. I did however, find a salesman at BB that was knowledgeble. He sold me two Acer systems, and a single monitor. Both were on sale, Both work fineI purchased the 2nd monitor from NewEgg. And yes, I paid $5.00 at Dollarama for hdmi cable. BB wanted $30.00 for some brand called Monster cables, with 50 micrometer thick gold plating. They tried to convince me the picture or tv sound would be better with their cables than the $5.00 versions.
I feel bad for my favorite salesman, who I appreciated for his technical knowledge and who appreciated me for mine.
Checkout Cameras with wireless transmission, and with ability to have standby battery in the event of power failure. These devices are in the low 100 dollar range.
If you dont mind spending the money, the decision is moot. I just dont like spending money where 50% of it goes to marketing expenses, and where the cost of repair equals or nearly equals the cost of a new device. Suppose your device lasts 15 months, are you game to replace it at what you just paid?
Sorry, I don't want to live in a land-fill throw away society
The problem is that Congress is afraid of intellectuals who can show that TSA was and is the biggest waste of money ever, and it is a fraud in terms of assuring protection of the traveller. A bomber will find it easier to blow up a terminal full of people than a plane flying mid-air somewhere. It was tragic that the 9/11 buildings collapsed, because, if they had not, there would not be any TSA. Poor building design was the result of the collapse and perhaps the congress people know that many other buildings share the same poor design as the former Trade Center building
So you prefer to pay $300 more for a device that you will later dispose of as land-fill because of not being able to change the battery. Three years is the typical life of a tablet battery. I owned a palm pilot for 7 years with one battery change mid-way through in the 4th year.
Someone has to a) match competitor prices, and b) pay for the spills in the Gulf. So, one way or another, the oil companies are coming out of this Scott-Free.
In our area, one station puts up the price, and the same day, all the other stations follow suit. When one station drops the price by one penny, so do all the other stations.
It is interesting though, when Oil increased by a dollar a barrel, the price at the pump went up the next day. When the price dropped back, it took 5 weeks for the price to come down.
I have these thoughts. For a few years we have been hearing of the ice caps melting. Polar bears and other mammals (seals, bears, etc), are having problems to feed.
At some point, if we think of weather we had as being on the edge of a precipice, this is the year we went over the edge. I am wondering about the coming summer in the mid-west. Will the people take vacations in the northern states or come to visit Canada.
Your states are also going to have water shortages. All because of the automobile and too many humans in too confined a space.
I think your analogy is in error. Today, DNA is able to be analyzed whereas it was not 25 years ago. Prisoners who pleaded not guilty, have in some states, been executed, and have no recourse. Whats dead cannot come back to life. The MPAA wants to have the websites (ISPs) treat each file as a copyrighted item, owned by them, until proved otherwise. If they want that, they should hire policemen to check each file, and to put a seal on it that the file reviewed is "Kosher". Of course, if they err, and do harm, they want protection from responsibility.
There are way way to many lawyers in the USA. (One for 55k people may be a good ratio, not one for 20k). They have time to see how to destroy new business ventures. Sadly their salaries are paid for by the victims.
With the 60terrabyte possibility per square inch, or for each 5 square cm, if it comes to being in production, the drive becomes an excellent candidate as a backing store. The SSD devices can act as a front end cache, Also, extended ECC checking, to the extent of being able to recover bad sectors will be possible, but without too much overhead.
I have these thoughts. Sequential file writes may not put the data sequentially in sectors next to each other, but should, if there are free sectors, put them on the same track. The idea being that if there is a bad spot on disk, using the information from the previous and next logical file block and ECC should be able to recover the damaged data.
I believe that the simpler solution is to have year-ends computed quarterly. By that I mean, you opt for Dec31, March31, June30 or September 30, and stick to it as your annual filing date. The surge to file and the errors that crop up due to the 31Dec cutoff would be substantially reduced. My own company in Quebec Canada files anally for 30 June. With adjustment for government taxation rule changes incorporated. It does mean that I can actually talk to our accountants without them breaking out in a stress based sweat attack.
There is something wrong with equating being muslim and being a bad person. The Christians and their crusadors did their share of harm in the world.
Extremists in every religion are dangerous. If you live outside the USA away from the US Media, you would have a much better appreciation of the good that Obama has done within the USA, and the good he is being blocked from doing by big (giant) business.
Americans, Big business runs the country, not the citizens or the congress. Big business has made you citizens into machines, like bees in a hive. Big business knows how to remove money from your wallet and you accept it.
Obama wants to move to the fulcrum from the 99% "have not" group to something like 20%superwealthy, 80% with good standard of living. It is not extreme socialism or communism (Big business propaganda). He is trying to create jobs, that Reagonomics tossed to outsourcing.
