So if I create a political party, then emails sent which are do to with my party and its policies are outside the jurisdiction of the CAN-SPAM act?
So my party which is the party-people-party party, supporting the internet sale of erotical and chemicals could be considered to be exempt from CAN-SPAM in its mailshots (which just happen to mention our method of obtaining party funds by "campaign contributions" in exchange for which you may receive some of the products we support).
Now.. will someone please tell me this isn't a glaring loophole?
Oh the US system is very effective... providing you're in the USA.
Unfortunately without a target audience they now target the UK with thier junk. And there's no legslative or punitive control over the US against them calling here, even with our own TPS (telephone preference service) register.
I've given up counting the number of "silent calls" by companies using automated call engines with insufficient call center staff to handle the calls generated.
if the server is using anything more intelligent than simple internal drive mirroring (for instance RAID-5) then realistically its easier to grab the entire server.
lets face it do you really want to try and reconstruct the raid pattern on a set of disks numbered 1-5 when you don't know what the original was?
and no I don't want the array controller card as well, remember that most police-bods are not IT engineers. they've been told to execute a warrant to seize a specific server. the rackspace guys have said "its that one" and if they've got any sense, they've helped the police to dismount the damn thing, rather than have the entire rack chainsawed from the floor and carted off.
Star Trek, the original series, season 1, episode 003 (released as episode 10 on 11.10.66) The Corbomite Manueuver ; in which Kirk bluffs his way out of an encounter with a vastly superiour ship by aledging that the Enterprise is comprised of a super explosive material called corbomite which will destroy the agressor's ship along with the Enterprise should it be attacked.
As I remember (and someone please do feel free to flame me if I'm wrong), in Star Trek The Original Series the warp scale was the cube of warp factor.
Thus warp 3 was 3x3x3=27 times light speed.
Theoretically vessels could just carry on up the warp scale. The old enterprise (pre=refit 1701) has a cruising speed of Warp 7ish and a top speed of about warp 9. The Kelvins ? (invaders from Andromeda did a temporary refit and maxed the speed out even higher.. but helpfully removed all of their speed boost for the next episode.
This was revised in Next Generation to be on a strange curving / log chart.
Warp 10 is 'infinite' speed or the boundary to transwarp speeds depending on which episode you watch.
Very high non-integer warp speeds are very very fast. For instance warp 9.99999 is way way faster than Voyager's max of 9.975.
Generally this means that at low warp speeds in NextGen+era they are going slower than Original-Series-era ships, however when Voyager is cruising along at warp 8 its going a heck of a lot fast than the good old Enterprise-1701.
Interestingly the offical website doesn't appear to make any reference to the old style warp computation.
My local Boots (UK wide Chemists) has pulled most brands of blades from their shelving because of theft.
At 6 for a pack of 4 or 5 blades you can see why they are trying to introduce tracking. In the meantime, if I want to purchase I have to go across to the perfumery counter (on the other side of the store) and ask for the item.
Then I wander down to the checkout with them.... hmm does anyone see the obvious glitch in their new security protocol?
Having been the reciepient of a "mains-induced glimpse at the great beyond?" , I can only suggest that you take the MD into the comms room and show him the problem.
When he asks if its safe, then say that your recent encounter with the junction box from hell has only narrowly avoided an entry in the company H&S Log and you'd rather not cost the company a lot of money in hospital charges.
So the answer is just simple if you think back a few years.
We have the mid-70's to early-80's rivalry between Sony's Betamax and JVC's VHS formats.
I'll skip the unpleasant details of the war here, but the point you have to remember is that the much more technically appreciated Betamax format lost out.
So the answer to your question is... the looser will be the most technically appreciated. Bye Bye "+" format ?

Oh how I laugh at your cost comparison.
What you have no concept of is how we in the UK get gouged by the hardware manufacturers.
The rule of thumb is that if its 225 EURO/DOLLAR then its going to be 225 (or more) POUNDS.
And what do we get for this remarkable costhike
I wait with trite anticipation of correction when the prices are announced in the UK.
And this is why we in the UK use nice bits of paper that you write a X on against your choice.
No chads.
No computerised fun & games.
Now if only we'd stay that way.

1) Anakin begets Luke and Leaia with Padme.
Should this not in fact read "Anakin begets Padme with Luke and Leia."
- Padme is the mother and is the subject of the beget'ment
- Leia not Leaia
2) All the Jedi are killed by Boba, Vader, and Anakin, including Ewan McGregor. All the jedi except Yoda.
- You mixed ACTOR names with CHARACTER names.
Ewan McGregor plays Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi
- Obi-Wan is not killed in Episode III, he looses his head in a lightsabre duel with Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker in Episode IV.

Nope, that only applies when they've got "insert name of major ISP here" setups & installs on them.
