Quite probably - in the case of another country acting on the UK's behalf - those are what treaties are for and there are world courts so you could see things like sanctions if they didn't.
You don't really enforce (most) laws. You punish people for violating them. At least in most cases. Are you aware that we still have people who break the law? What do we do? We punish them. No, I have no idea why they call it enforcing traffic laws, they're just catching the violators of the law. They're not forcing shit. They should be called something other than law enforcement officers but I don't get to make the names up. Sure, sometimes they enforce the law but it's pretty seldom. How often do they prevent crime? Usually they just catch 'em afterwards.
Generally no. In fact, I can't think of any plant, typically considered edible or healthy, that is "designed" to be eaten by a human, no. Well, unless you want to go and count the ones we modified to be that way? I can think of exactly zero that are actually reproduced by our biological functions.
If you direct your browser to the nearest search engine then you should be able to find that plants also make noises when they're distressed. Not only that but the plants around the distressed plants make noises (at a greater level) when one of them is distressed.
I'll just be over hear gnawing on some charred dead animal flesh. You plant murderers disgust me!
I'd not willingly accept anti-aging technology, thanks. I've already pondered this and spoken about it at length. I am not interested. I am 58. I'm good with 7 to 17 more years. It's time to make room for new people and I've already consumed more than my fair share of resources. (In my defense, I generated a *lot* of efficiency.)
At any rate, no... I don't want to extend my life. I've even got a few bucks and I'm not interested in it. I have a DNR already signed. I carry it with me and those who are close to me know my wishes. I don't fear death, I kind of welcome it. I presume it's the great nothing and I'm okay with that. I've had my fun. I've done everything I want to do - and then some. I've been everywhere I want to go. I've had enough wine, women, and song for ten men. I've lived enough life for ten men. When nature has decided it's time for me to shuffle off this mortal coil then so be it.
I hope I go out with my pecker in my hand and a smile on my face but mostly 'cause I want one last chance to embarrass my children. Don't worry - they understand.
You're gonna represent my district as the State Senator? Cool. That'll save me some time.;-)
Seriously, in reference to your other posts... Yup, the umbrella is large and we've been subjected to being propagandized since time immemorial. I've been a party member since the 1970s. I've been the loony left and the hard right - and yet, while I have refined my views, I haven't really changed my core philosophy one bit.
I'm too lazy to go dig for it but someone was suggesting that I abandon the term. It's tempting. I can't do it. I just can't. Some things are worth fighting for and I am not a coward. The fault is mine, in part. I didn't speak out in opposition. I was happy to have more people using the Libertarian moniker. Alas, they're ashamed Republicans (afraid to admit that they're really just conservatives) and fucking lunatics.
So, one by one... I counter, I respond, I make an effort to inform and let them judge for themselves. I like to give them the opportunity to actually ask me what I think instead of telling me what I think. I subject my philosophy to criticism and defend it. More often than not, if they take the time to learn, they are kind of surprised and rather receptive. Sadly, many will not take me up on that offer and will repeat it in the very next thread. But, one by one...
Email works if you're interested. That's a real working address. Remarkably little spam makes it through.
I kind of like jury duty and don't get picked often enough. I do see it as a duty and I do enjoy the process. I'd never try to "weasel" my way out of it. It's part of the social contract to give my peer's justice - which does mean, unfortunately, finding the defendant guilty if the facts prove that, beyond reasonably doubt, the defendant is guilty. I'm also a bit of a stickler that the State must do its job and prove that, even if it means that I must insist the defendant be found not guilty when I know damned well they probably did it but the State has failed to demonstrate that.
I think we kind of had to have people there and I'm not entirely sure why it wasn't reinforced more but - again - I've the gift of hindsight and a complete picture. There were a hell of a lot of stores in Antwerp. I forget the village's name but if they'd managed to get past that they'd have had a pretty clear run at Antwerp and (maybe) have been able to get some very needed supplies. How long they'd have been able to maintain that foothold is anyone's guess - I'm guessing they'd have looted and run but I've never actually read about what the Germans intended to do with those supplies once they got them? Part of me thinks that Hitler was just so deluded by then that he felt that might be enough to make the allies give up, sort of like he seems to have thought the V2 would do?
Things could have been quite a bit worse had Patton not gotten there, or so I'm given to understand. I forget the professor's name, last name begins with an F, from King's College and he has a pretty interesting take on the whole "what if" thing with Poland and the potential overthrow. Alas, my memory is poor but if I see it again - I'll save the name but there's a really interesting series about the UK's POW system where they put officers into a bugged hotel and housed them there - that touched on a bit of this too, as I recall.
It would appear that this is only true IF you use a Microsoft account as opposed to a local account. It actually kind of sort of makes sense if it is a Microsoft account that you're using - it's so that can have your encrypted files shared across multiple systems. If you use a local account, that doesn't happen. Or so the actual article said - I don't really know, I'm not actually a Windows user. But, that was in the fine print, below the rant, at the article.
I am a pretty big fan of Mint, I call it Linux for Retards - which means I can use it. However, I've kind of migrated to LXDE and just use Lubuntu but I've done some simple customizations and tweaking on it so that I've pretty much built my own distro and just use that either installed or from a Live USB (sometimes with persistent data support enabled). But, I still have a trusty laptop with me that has Mint - Cinnamon installed and that gets used regularly though it's often used to go through my convoluted setup (which involves VNC, a server back in Maine, and a VPN - on a good day, sometimes I'm using a VM and networked shares over all that).
The thing is, I'm not really an advanced user or anything. It just works. I don't game so it's not like I care about running stuff in WINE. I don't need any Windows applications so my VMs are just other Linux distros or the occasional BSD to poke at. I don't even have to futz with hardware. Even better, if I really work hard and manage to break something (it's always something I did) then I can just re-install and leave my/home directory or I can even (usually) switch distros and do the same thing. Hell, there's even a repair installation method with Lubuntu that does the/home directory preservation for me. Couple that with reasonable backups and, well, 'snot a problem.
Yup, I'm not a great humanitarian when I say that I want the kids educated, healthy, and able to take a few risks early on. I want them smart, happy, and productive. It's cheaper than hiring goons to keep them from stealing my shit. I like my shit. That's why I bought it.;-) Disenfranchised and hungry is a poor way to enjoy your liberties - I want people to be able to do just that.
Alas, I'm some sort of monster who hates taxes, is greedy, doesn't like a public infrastructure, and wants to see people dead on the side of the street. Because, you know, everyone is binary in their choices and there's no reasonable middle ground that we can find... Then again, some days, I kind of think those accusations might be appropriate should they come to pass - serves 'em right for assuming the absurdities they're spoon fed in their trite echo chambers of goodness.
I'll skip the rant. I'm sure you're at least vaguely familiar with it - and probably on the same (or very similar) page.
If I may be of assistance... It is a more pricey outlay but you save in maintainability and longevity, so there's that. Look at institutional quality model appliances. When I had my house built and decked it out, I bought institutional quality major appliances. You can even get institutional quality dishwashers that are meant for things like residential assisted care living units, washers, dryers, and deep freezers. There is a more significant outlay but I've not had to do a single repair in seven years - on any of them.
This is one of those case where you're almost obligated to lie as a politician, or at least use weasel words.
In 2016 (this year, actually - wow), I'll be running for the Senate in the State of Maine. Maine's a pretty small place with very little power and, if elected, I'll be a Senator from a district that is pretty well off the beaten path - even by Maine's standards. In other words, I'll be completely powerless.
Which means I get to say that I am 100% against back doors in encryption, software of any kind (without owner's consent), and don't actually care that it makes the police have to work more diligently. The rights of the innocent outweigh the risks of the accused. It the police want data they can get a warrant. If they data is encrypted they can use all the tech they want to use to decrypt that data, and only that data, after having taken it as evidence by lawful means.
So yeah, I'm not actually gonna be entrusted with anything important but at least I get to keep my dignity.
That's not a bad idea! By the way - I've not forgotten you. Heh... You're the RPi/SoC/SBC/embedded guy and person I'm gonna potentially bug if I get stuck. It looks like there are scripts and programs to do pretty much everything I can think of. (Yes, yes I have been researching.) Since I last bumped into you, I've meandered down the East Coast (wanderlust), bumped into a young lady - and she stuck, and decided to spend the winter in Florida.
I ordered the Up (two of them) and I've found a couple of robot bodies to mull over. I want to make it a little more complicated than required. I'm going to off-load some functionality (speech processing) to the stationary unit so that the robot can always come find me. I'm probably going to make it charge itself - I've found an adapter that will enable such a thing. I've got a spare laptop so I can just dump the batteries out of that - there are multiple batteries inside the one big laptop battery.
To be fair, concerning this database being open to the public, I am not responsible.
Then again, it is public information. We could probably save a bit of time and energy by just making it a publicly available download in a few different formats - from txt to.sql to.csv. Hell, we could even make it downloadable in.pdf format.
My brain is turning to mush as I've been a passive consumer for far too long. I'm delving back into programming and, don't hate me, getting back into some PHP and going to learn some Python. I'll probably pick up Perl 6 just to say I can.
That said, I used to program in C. A lot... Like a whole bunch - except I am actually not a programmer. Well, not a good one at any rate. Oh, things worked, eventually. The many hours spent sleepless and hoping someone would help me out via USENET were plentiful and, eventually, we had enough contracts completed to actually hire competent people. Yay! Go me! Anyhow, that was a lot of years ago...
I don't like this mushy brain feeling and I'm getting older and the mush is getting more resilient. It may sound odd, if you're young, but you can actually sense it when it is happening. They say the brain becomes more plasticine (or is it less?) and that things get more difficult as the brain, literally, undergoes a physiological change due to aging.
So, I've always preferred good answers - innate selfishness, I presume. You, being an expert and I, having seen enough of your replies to have no doubts as to the validity of your claim means you're likely to be a good source of my preferred answer type. (In common vernacular, you're smart and I have the stupid.)
Where's a good place to get into C++? I've some, vague, familiarity with the language and have even actually learned some - years ago, as that was what my C was ported to by the afore mentioned hired programmers. I'm very much able to pay for instruction but I do not wish to return to academia. I can afford any/all resources but am not so interested as to hire a private tutor, at least not one locally. I'm not needing a full, deep, instruction but just enough to code a few things. I don't even have any specific problems that need solving.
Anything that you'd recommend? Any works of your own making, in book form perhaps, to look into?
Let me preface this by saying that I'm a horrible programmer but I wrote many lines (many of which were not needed) in C back in the day.
Eventually, I reached the point where maintaining and improving that code was simply beyond my time limits and my ability. I am not a programmer. I learned because I had to. So, I hired professionals. They taught me a lot but, alas, I am still not a programmer.
If we go back to my initial comment, we see that I wrote many lines of code, many of which were not needed. So, we started a project where these kindly programmers had had enough and wanted to rewrite all of my code. They wanted to use this language called C++. As tempting as it was to deny such requests, I let them write it in C++. Why?
Well, I hired them because I code for shit. They were better than I - that's why I paid them money. If they wanted a tool then, it seemed to me, that they know better than I how to do their job. If I knew better then they, I'd not have had to hire them - I could have just hired monkeys and told them how to do it.
Point is, what's the point of getting in the way of letting the people you hired do the job you hired them to do? If you ask them to complete a task and trust them to complete the task them give them the tools they ask for, shut the hell up, and get out of the way. If your program worked while his broke after some minutes then I don't want him working for me unless he's able to make his program behave like your program.
I may not be the brightest bulb but I've learned a few things and one of them is that if you shut the hell up and get out of the way - you get pretty good results if you have good people. Don't get me wrong, I tried the micromanaging thing. Yeah... Don't do that. Fortunately, I'd hired people who had the brains and balls enough to tell me to shut up and get out of the way. I imagine most people would have fired them for doing so but programmers were a bit different back then so, eventually, I learned to get the hell out of the way and just give them the tools they asked for. Strangely enough, it worked.
I don't really watch television so I don't really know about the media aspect but, if you're not willing to be raped and murdered for your beliefs, do you really believe them or are they just conveniences?
Pardon my ignorance but is there something akin to UPnP with IPv6 or are consumers going to actually have to do things like learn to use a hardware firewall, use port forwarding, and things of that nature?
I've been meaning to dig into this for a while now but I haven't.:/
I don't know as it might not be helpful to be able to have various IPv6 addresses aimed at specific ports on the same machine. I was pondering that when I went and looked into doing some tunneling (my ISP does not yet offer it so I've not yet been properly motivated to learn). It'd be kind of neat to have a separate address for a mail server, torrent client/server, http server, etc and all on the same box. I'd imagine that some method of doing that could create some fairly refined security controls.
I really do need to learn this stuff. I should find that site again and look into that tunneling thing all over again. I imagine that the sooner I learn the better off I will be.

I don't really watch television so I don't really know about the media aspect but, if you're not willing to be raped and murdered for your beliefs, do you really believe them or are they just conveniences?
Pardon my ignorance but is there something akin to UPnP with IPv6 or are consumers going to actually have to do things like learn to use a hardware firewall, use port forwarding, and things of that nature?
I've been meaning to dig into this for a while now but I haven't. :/
I don't know as it might not be helpful to be able to have various IPv6 addresses aimed at specific ports on the same machine. I was pondering that when I went and looked into doing some tunneling (my ISP does not yet offer it so I've not yet been properly motivated to learn). It'd be kind of neat to have a separate address for a mail server, torrent client/server, http server, etc and all on the same box. I'd imagine that some method of doing that could create some fairly refined security controls.
I really do need to learn this stuff. I should find that site again and look into that tunneling thing all over again. I imagine that the sooner I learn the better off I will be.
