it's like you think doctors never discover that certain subgroups of people who have a set of symptoms might actually have something in common and give that a name.
One router, dual radio if you really must, with wireless isolation. The wireless devices can only talk to the router to handle DHCP and DNS, the rest is blocked by default; they can't even access the wired network. Not even a fancy feature, it came built in to the $50 netgear block I picked up. If you really do want an open home wifi (unless it's RADIUS encrypted the password is not that hard to get), then dual radios. One SSID for your network, isolation turned off. Heck, put it on 5GHz, most computer illiterate guests won't have 11n cards. Then leave a guest SSID as open as you like, bit rate limited, and with isolation turned on.
Have you heard? There are these new file formats and color profiles. Adobe RGB, CMYK TIFF, CIE TIFF. Sure, the information in them gets truncated down to RGB for 32-bit displays, but the data is still there. This helps prevent the banding that can and often does occur when you print something that is just 8x8x8x8 RGBA, even if the printer and display aren't calibrated. And once you add in calibration, wow, it's like we haven't existed in a strictly RGB color space since it was invented in 1998!
The Canon inkjet on my desk is has a CcMmYK 6 color cartridge set loaded in it right now; the ink was sold as a 'photo color cartridge set'. For image format, TIFF with 32bit CMYK or CIE, or . . . well, you get the point. The extra color range means less banding even if I don't calibrate both the monitor and printer, but since I do photography as a hobby, why wouldn't I calibrate my monitor?
The printer, on the other hand, is just for proofs. I care less about how it's calibrated, and send the photos off for proper printing on calibrated machines at a shop.
Having suffered from chronic pain for +20 years, I'd have settle for just feeling better. I saw many specialists over the years, all of them agreed that "there is nothing wrong" either physically, neurologically (local or brain), or mentally/emotionally. Now days, cases like mine have been studied (I've seen myself mentioned in a few, or cases identical in age and other factors seen by my doctors) and the last specialist I saw said "Oh, yeah, this happens, we have proof now. Go see a pain specialist and just get meds."
I'll admit that fentanyl works better than a placebo, but I'd still have settled for a placebo 20 years ago.
For production ROMs, someone above mentioned grinding through the lower layer of poly-carbonate and metal, destroying the data layer and the reflective layer. That leaves the label intact for audits. For -+R -+RW, why not a microwave? The read/write layer is the metalic layer in those, so a microwave would take care of the data. After it has been shown or recorded for audits, then shredding to further get rid of the disk.
Note: I'm not certified to answer this by any agency. If you are under certain restrictions on how you handle this tax data, follow them instead.
The AC you replied to does say CDs, not CD-R. The data layer in those is the bottom layer of poly-carbonate, and the metallic layer above is just a mirror. Above those is another reinforcing layer and then the label. It would be easy enough to grind down until hitting metal, and then stop the drill/grinder.
Do you really expect government agencies with redacted amounts of annual funding are going to demo their technology for a $500 prize? And the contest, if you were referring to "The Great Zero Challenge" has been closed for since the end of 2008!
You do have something to prove if you want the 10 grand. They are running the contest, you can't just walk up and go 'gimme 10,000, the burden of proof is you on'.
If you want to do it yourself, yes, this is the way to go about it. The OP is an idiot to think that any site on the internet that 'asks permission before hacking your site, just give us the URL or code'' is not going to turn around an sell that information afterwards. Either hire professionals, or DIY.
I keep a copy of BT 5 (i hadn't seen the move to Kali Linux) in a virtual machine. Not the fastest scanner out there, but a small networked box in my house gets the same copy of code installed on it as my webserver has (i know what they run because I asked nicely). Then, I beat the hell out of it and my own code. If my code gives out first, that gets fixed (php scanners, sqli scanners, etc). If my code stands up, then I start scanning the server code. Metasploit, NMAP, anything else that might show where a hole is located. If it turns out to be the server code, I make damn sure it's not my configuration of my local server before contacting the hosting company and asking them. So far, all of them have been my config files and not theirs.
Some of The Beatles' stuff was originally mixed for mono, and the stereo mixes were done by others after the band had finished mixing their mono release. In cases like that, the argument is there that the mono version is "what it's supposed to sound like"
Sorry, it needed repeating. The natural harmonics of something like a brass percussion disc are way up there even when the main tone is well within human hearing. It's just the nature of the waveform, and why so many drum machine cymbals sound like crap. Even a snare drum has some high frequencies in it (or I think it does since I hear the same mushy sound to a tight snare that got badly compressed under 44.1kHz, can't say I've looked on a scope). I most of my listening cases, it doesn't bother me; who cares if it's compressed a bit, I can store 300 hours of music on my phone and listen over bluetooth headset or in the car where those highs would be lost anyways. But when I want to sit down and listen to something special on my larger speakers (1x8 and 1x10 former guitar/bass amps, need a high in the mix soon) or through the studio headset I found for pennies (someone died and their family sold it for a quarter) then I want to hear the actual sound of the crash, ride, high hat, snares, wind section, violin, and flute. I don't want to hear compressed sounds that are vaguely reminiscent of those instruments.
In my 30s, my hearing is still fine above 20kHz. Those 'mosquito' type ring tones that float around the internet are still easily heard by my ears. Except for the ones right around 23kHz, those drop out before coming back at 24 and then fading down from there.
So, maybe I've preserved my hearing; I doubt it since I've been to concerts with no ear plugs, listened to death metal through ear buds, and hung around server rooms and heavy machinery. Maybe I just started with good high range hearing, I dunno. I did have an audiologist test my hearing years ago, they were surprised by the high range. So while your 'average person' may not be able to hear it, I can hear a ton of rattling in badly compressed 16/44.1 audio. The cymbals and snare drums are horribly distorted compared to lossless. Flutes and some woodwinds suffer the same problem, hell even the harmonics of a soprano can get into the range of 'wow, that's a terrible mix/badly compressed'.
Every month when I pick up my scheduled medications. The things that are schedule 3 and 2 are a surprising list of medications that one normally doesn't suspect.
but such that you need to take 250x80mg? 90 pills I can see, 3 a day. even 120 at 4 a day. But 250 pills a month is an 8 hour extended release every 2 hours; get yerself a fentanyl patch instead.
And if the patient involved has multiple liver studies showing that 2 grams is still enough to cause them problems? If they have ER records showing jaundice or other obvious signs after having taken less than that? Sure, for most patients it is still a safe dose. But most isn't all, and some people have instructions from their specialists (you know, the guys that the PCP and ER refer to for their expert opinions?) to avoid APAP.
If someone is sueing a hospital because their medical records contain an episode of explosive diarreha in a hospital elevator and winning, you should maybe find a lawyer worth a lick of salt.
So let's suppose the patient sees the note about the incident, and takes offense. They sue the hospital for libel, claiming that the incident was recorded for the amusement of doctors at the patient's expense. One defense would be to show a medical reason making the note necessary - but if it was isolated with no known cause, that may not be possible. Another defense is to point out how common messy incidents are in a hospital, but that'll skewer the PR department's campaign saying how clean the hospital is (which it was again an hour after the incident). Regardless of how skilled the hospital's lawyers are, an offended patient with a grudge will be expensive to deal with.
Easy problem. The hospital can say that the record was kept because the incident might be indicative of a cancer, a punctured rectum, a viral infection, or any other number of issues. The incident was recorded so that the hospital was not liable should one of those possibilities later prove to be the cause; after all the hospital and doctor don't want to be accused of malpractice.
A number of states now have databases of patients that doctors label as such for other doctors and pharmacies to watch out for.
Unfortunately, doctors are generally woefully unequipped to treat pain, particularly long-term pain. Plenty of addicts are made by the medical profession, something they don't like to admit.
I'm in one of those databases, and I disagree with the assertion. Doctors are equipped to treat pain, they have the ability to prescribe the medication needed. What they are is not always trained enough to prescribe the right strength of pain relief. There is a huge difference between Tylenol-3 (or even 2 or 1 if the pharmacies carry them) and percoset/roxycets. In between lie a range of codeine HCL, hydrocodone, and oxycodone; 50 to 100mg of C-HCL works about as well as 10 to 20 hydro, or 5mg oxy depending on the patient and their tolerances; and a ton of COX inhibitor and other style NSAIDs. Give a person too much, and they cross from a treatment threshold into a dose that provides a high and becomes addictive; a dose that just brings pain down to a manageable level may cause the person to develop a physical tolerance, but isn't an addiction.
How do you pick what dose? That's the bloody hard part, because where one patient gets high off a tylenol-3 another may not get any pain relief from a 10-325 roxycet. But there is some patient responsibility here, in that people who take more pain meds than they need end up building a tolerance more quickly and are more likely to become addicted. Frankly, no patient should expect pain meds to take their 8 to 10 of 10 pain down to a 0; they should expect that an injury or illness that causes severe pain will still hurt a bit with pain meds. You'll be way under the available treatment dose that way, and less likely to become tolerant or addicted. Not to mention the DEA pressure to treat everyone with NSAIDs instead of opioids; even people who's pain isn't due to any inflammation at all.
*all above disregards addictive psychological disorders. some people will just take 8 pills because they are there, others are just more likely to become addicted even at a treatment dose. those are other disorders, and need dealt with at a psychiatric level, not a pain management level; even if the result is that the person is still not given narcotics and treated with other meds.
I can vouch for this view of things. I went into the ER for a complex kidney issue on the advice of my primary doctor (maybe a stone, infection, or worse; they didn't know at the time). The doctor had given me injections of antibiotics, anti-nausea, and a script for pain meds because stones are one of those things that the DEA allows percoset for. The ER doc had the gall to accuse me of faking pain before he even called the primary to verify my story. As soon as he talked to them, he walked back in, scribbled notes for in hospital pain meds and antibiotics of last resort, but ignore the recommendation of an MRI or CAT scan.
So where did he really screw up? I asked when getting discharged whether I should still take the pain meds that my primary had given me. His response was "I don't give out narcotics for anything but kidney stones and broken bones." I told him I wasn't asking for more meds, but advice on whether to take what I was already prescribed. He repeated himself. Bastard then left, probably called the primary's office again, and came back with a script for 5 percoset. I never filled it, I still had 27 of the 30 I had gotten 2 days earlier.
And if the idiot had done the CAT as my primary had asked, he would have found a problem that ended up requiring a PICC line, every antibiotic of last resort except methicillin, surgery, and eventually every high end narcotic in existence (had carfentanyl in the hospital, oxy and fentanyl on discharge, and every variety of morphine except heroin). All because he didn't want to listen to a 'family doctor' when he was the bloody expert.
c) Buy roku box. ($99 Amazon), less than the cost of 1 month of cable.
I don't get why people pay that much for cable. I got comcast to give me 1000 channels, dvr, and internet for under 70. And spending the extra 10 on hbo for game of thrones seems worth it. Here's the trick, the door-to-door guys can get prices you wouldn't believe.
Why cable? Cause Good Eats wasn't on TPB or Usenet when i last Iooked.
You know why I havn't pledged anything to help Dreamfall? Because they talked about making the third chapter years ago. It took years to go from Dreamfall to TLJ, and yet they still talked about publishing the third in the story for so long.
It's one of those cases where I feel like there is a less than even chance that pledging to it wouldn't increase the chance of the game getting finished. Planescape never went through that phase of publishers/writers/coders all saying "we're working on the next chapter" so the fans are more willing.
According to the ATF, the lower of an AR is 'the gun'. Transfer of that part alone requires paper work; buying it requires a background check and can only be sold in a private transfer or by a licensed dealer. All the other parts of the AR platform are add ons, and require no paperwork before purchase. Yes, that includes the upper, the barrels, even the trigger assembly. So no, in the eyes of the government, this is a "3D printed gun".
It's also not that big of a deal. 3D mills have existed for a while, and any machine shop with one could turn out a milled aluminium lower in about the same amount of time. The ATF has rules on who can do that, and what you can do with it after it's made. They seem not to be too worried about polymer lowers.

A way to bypass santization, perhaps? Something that looks like a clean, sanitary input but infact does something malicious?

You'll find that many serious psychological disorders stem from not being able to forget.
Okay. List them. "Serious psychological disorders"? Go ahead and list them out of the DSMIV or whatever you can
PTSD.
