Then they should be the second hop, yes? Unless, as I mentioned, they're one of the ones that puts their configuration page on a separate IP address (I think I called it port by mistake - I was in a rush but it should be reasonably clear). Most of them (and I've used a number) will be the first or, if you have a router in front of it, will give the second when you look? I'm pretty sure that I've seen this countless times. I could have bumped my head but I'm kind of checking the same thing right now and it's giving me the IP address for the modem (which is not a modem/router combination) as the second hop. In front of it I have a router/firewall. The second address is, currently, 10.0.0.* on this configuration that I send this with.
And I missed the continue editing button. Sorry 'bout that. Hopefully you can figure out where I should have closed the quote.;-) Also, it appears that someone below your post has repeated the 12000 number. I'd seriously consider looking into that. That's awfully convenient and I understand that they're government has had some accusations of corruption in the past.
... when they were simply given homes they then proceeded to trash them and make them uninhabitable (ie condemned).
That's brilliant. SF got their money back in spades. (And no, I don't mean black people! Sheesh.)
Seriously, think about it... SF has a housing crisis and the property is *very* valuable. Give it to the homeless, they trash it, it can be sold to a developer, and that process can then repeat. How many of them were in one contiguous area? I'm not kidding. Do you have access to a map? Someone might be pissy if they find you looking for a map.
Go look at a map and see if they filled up large areas.
The best part (for them) about it is if they didn't trash their houses, they could just say it was trashed and who's going to believe the crazy homeless guy vs. the guy on the Inspection Board?
Then go look and see who was related to who, probably not too close but an in-law or something, to whom and what people had a new BMW or their kids made it into an expensive college or whatnot...
Nope. It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Not even a little. Obviously, that could be entirely innocent and unplanned and nobody took advantage of the situation. Or, alternatively, they could be government officials and human. I'd definitely be looking into that, even if just for amusement/curiosity. I don't suppose you know anyone in the media or feel like doing some leg work and potentially ending up (in)famous?
Someone up above used the number '12,000' people when they referenced those who were being homed. They then indicated that the same number of people are now homeless. It didn't dawn on me until I read your post. Then I realized the potential. This, obviously, isn't even a "hunch" or anything. This is just a wild-ass guess and entirely speculation. The entire process could be squeaky clean or dirty as a rig left on the pavement behind the dumpster.
It's an interesting metric and I understand the number has been going down since the plateau but not significantly so. That's poverty, not unemployment, thus a more meaningful statistic and nobody likes any of the BLS numbers. You might also want to look at this one:
That's actually quite an improvement on the 50 years prior but I can't find a nice pretty graph inside of a minute that I dedicated to the task. So, that's what you get. You can look for more. You might want to look at the numbers yourself some time and remember the prevalence of media and people with an agenda. Err... If you happen to be one of those folks with an agenda then I'm sorry, let me get out of your way and you can get back to whatever it is you were doing. But, if you want some actual facts and numbers, they're actually out there for people who are looking.
Not even close and the funny thing is that inside of two weeks you'll be repeating the same thing I'm saying once you realize what you can imply with it. You're a daft child, aren't you? See, I read more of your commentary throughout the thread. I'll give you something fun and you can turn it around to help your side of the argument with the other people. The areas that are no-go are, more often then not, predominantly ethnically Muslim.
And if you think riots on the street are better than shit, you're an idiot. If you think someone shitting on the street is better than a place where sanitation services does not go, emergency services sometimes refuses to go, PLUS the shit on the street, is somehow better than the shit on the streets of SF then you're even less intelligent than you've so far displayed.
Do you really think these people, the ones on the streets rioting or the ones who keep even the police at bay are sane or something? Do you think they're less mentally ill than those in San Fransisco?
And no, you've not traveled for shit. I, on the other hand, have even gone so far as to post pics of me in varied places and to have posted pics I've taken in various places and - while traveling, even interacted with a few people from Slashdot in the real world. I'm not condescending, you're just sorely misinformed and horribly inexperienced. In fact, you're dismissed.
To go a step further, I'll go so far as to say that I strongly support PSA (Physician Assisted Suicide). I think PSA should be legal and that we need to work on the social stigma of suicide. Yes, I have had close friends who have killed themselves. It would have been a lot better if they could have prepared, done it in a humane fashion, and retained their dignity throughout.
That said, not all people who were released were a danger to just themselves. I agree that strict oversight needs to be maintained on involuntary commission and that we need to treat our patients rather than incarcerate them. We need to do what we can to give them the aid to remain in safe from harm AND from harming others in the community. I have to say that, other than the lack of PSA, the system is not that bad at this current time. I'm sure many will disagree but, before doing so, I ask them to look at history - not even very distant history, and then judge again. I did not state that we're perfect - in any nation.
However, we're not actually doing that bad as compared to what we were doing. Things take time and there's many reasons to seek improvements and to continue to observe the process and practice to reduce the risks of additional harm coming to the patient. Yeah, I know... That's not a crazy, spittle-flecked, outlandish thing to say that demands adherence, affirmation, and attention. I'm sorry but it needs to be said. If you'd like, you can blame the continued problems on your least favorite political party, if that will make you feel any better.
Wait... What? You've been here as long as I have. Did you just insinuate that you want honesty, objectivity, and factual sources and information? I'm not sure if you're crazy or trolling 'cause this here is a political thread. We ain't got time for no facts here. This here's mud slingin' and mud slingin' what we're gonna do. At least half of us a drunk or high on something.
It's Saturday night in the US and a political thread. You don't usually get those things in these sorts of threads and there's not much you can do about it. Oh, you can try to change it. I have tried. Not a chance. At some point, you realize that the objective is to sit and laugh your ass off at the insanity of it all and realize that humans are awesomely stupid. Then, you can throw in a witty barb and collect cheap karma - or burn it, it's up to you. Either way, if you're not having fun then this is not the right thread for you.
I find it best to take in small doses, most of the time. I meander off and do other things during the middle of the thread. Then I come back and read some more. It's like "SJW Friday." This thread could have gone either way. I'd say it's pretty good baiting on behalf of the editors. I'm impressed and amused. And, if you're not having fun, why do it?
It's perspective. Don't get me wrong, he's bound to have some facts. They've often got someone to quote and a few statistics that can be interpreted any way you want. Off all the things to blame, the political party affiliation is probably the last thing that would make me curious but, what do I know?
I can tell you have not traveled much. The places where the cops don't go are the places where the mentally ill are shitting on streets. In fact, depending on where you are on the planet, they might even be heavily armed while doing so. That is unlikely in most of Europe but I'd not too terribly surprised to hear about it in some of the old USSR countries so that'd be a bit dependent on where you draw the line between Europe and Asia. (It's actually moved in people's verbiage a few times throughout my life and depending on the location of the speaker.)
Umm... You don't think that the places where cops won't go is somehow better than that, do you? 'Cause it's on tlike the cops don't go to Mooseville, it's the cops don't go to things like a giant city block that's walled and has armed guards to keep the cops out. In Marseilles... They call that one "The Castle" for instance. They had kids setting the street on fire the and beating the shit out of cops the other day. They were setting shit on fire. Do you THINK they stop shitting on the street for a riot? No, more people shit on the street. Have you ever been to a real crisis situation like a riot? If you think that's BETTER (or excludes the type of behavior) then you're crazy and are probably on the library computer and will be outside later and shitting on the streets.
I don't think you understand. Imagine a chunk of a city, or a whole city, with zero services. For 20 years. Or, worse, for 1200... Or ever...
You don't get out much, do you? And yes, there are parts of Europe that are pretty bad. Yes, they include people shitting on the street. Err... Quite a bit worse, depending on where are - they can get pretty bad. Try not going to a tourist trap and actually seeing what's behind the curtain. Humans are humans, all the world around. Some have better circumstances than others but, for the most part, we're largely the same. It's both sad and amusing that you spend so much time arguing over who is better. I suspect you do it because you don't know any better.
I have local friend and family who say they actually put a shit-ton of them in jail and (highly illegal - or so I understand, I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure it is) they arrested them (or took them into custody) and put them either in vans or on the bus. I've been told both vans and buses by different people. I'm also told that there's a bit of a cover-up for this but I have absolutely no way of knowing BUT I've been told this by three different people during the run-up to the game.
I think I might have even mentioned it, here specifically, and I want so say that someone confirmed it in a reply - and I think it was here. I'm almost positive it was here. I... I say a lot.;-) I'm not gonna go read through all my old posts to find it.
In fact, if I understand correctly, someone important has a kid who was hauled away mistakenly and that this might have repercussions and result in a bit of a media dust-up but I've seen nothing more of it. Of course, I don't actually read the news that much and I really don't read the news for San Fransisco. But, nobody has mentioned it since - that I've seen. So, I've no clue how valid any of that is but it wouldn't surprise me. In fact, I recall being mostly amused by it. I'm kind of old to go getting outraged at everything. I don't have time or inclination to do so. People will be people.
Hmm... A quick Google isn't telling me a whole lot of scandalous results. They say they moved 24 and put them in a homeless shelter in this article: http://thinkprogress.org/econo...
What bothers me is that there are usually zero free beds at that time of the year. So... Where did they put the 24 people who would have slept in those beds? More interesting is how come the number is only 24? 'Cause I have been there and have stomped all over the city - for months when I was younger and even worked out of SF for almost six months at one point and I don't actually believe the number is as low as 24. That's off by an order of magnitude, maybe even two. Ah well... I don't keep up with it and it was mentioned as items of interest by those who brought it up but it hasn't been mentioned again.
Look for unbiased sources and actual documents. The Left wanted (and keep in mind the political spectrum was a bit messier at that point with lots of Southern Democrats and Compassionate Republicans at the time) to, you know, stop fucking abusing the mentally ill. It's a just idea.
Except, the States were pretty broke. They couldn't really afford to house all of them AND give them the treatment they deserved. So, they kinda, sorta, basically let anyone go who was able to say they wanted to be free and showed they understood the concept of freedom. It really wasn't much more precise than that unless they were an obvious danger to themselves and the community and they sometimes let them go too.
This kept going until a bunch of suits throughout the 80s and even into the very early 1990s.
And yeah, you need to keep in mind that the spectrum was a bit more muddled then. When I was younger we had Democrats, elected ones, on television saying that the niggers didn't need belong in school with the whites. (I'm part black.) And, to make it more salient, the citizenry was largely cheering them on. No, it really wasn't the majority who were wanting equal rights, that's another myth. It was a very vocal minority who were tearing shit up and making the white people look bad. It should be noted that some of that minority (that was tearing things up) was also white.
I was not born a full-class citizen of your country.
Just some additional information... Many of those Natives would have been what we'd call Hispanics today. There are a few really good documentaries on the subject.
Those statements easily apply to both sides of the aisle. Zealots at either end of the spectrum are idiots. In fact, zealots on any subject are idiots. The Law of Diminishing Returns plays no favorites.
I'm pretty damned left on the political spectrum but let's try to be honest here. The jobs moving overseas were touted as the whole "rising tide raising all ships" thing by the Left. I know - I was there when they started talking about it at length in the late 1980s and getting progressively more public about the benefits to the poor and impoverished people (of Indochina, for one) who were living on just a dollar a day.
To be fair, the jackasses on the Right, those who happened to be business owners (quite a few businesses are run by left-leaning people, I hope you didn't think we'd not know that), thought about it for a moment and said, "Wait, you want us to do what?" And the rest is pretty much history. That is what basing policy on feelings and not logic gets you. It's entirely revisionist to try to place the blame on the Right. You're one of those people who complaints about the Republicans using Free Speech Zones and ignores that it was the Democrats (1988 at the DNC in New York) who got that started, aren't you?
Bullshit... You've got places in France that the cops won't even go into, for one example. I need only one to nullify your statement but I can come up with more. Hell, there are whole countries that are, at least as average, worse that SF. Hungary, Romania, etc...
But nah, keep up with the silliness while it all crumbles and you argue over meaningless things rather than working towards improving things.
Shit, my home state has a lower rate of violent crime, homelessness, and quite possibly even gun-crime than just your home city does in Europe but that's a topic for another day. San Fransisco sucks but it's nowhere near as bad as La Courneuve, Amiens, etc... Hell, they're convinced that there's ethnic cleansing in Denmark (I've my doubts about that one - I've not been for a while) and head back down to Marseilles (I think I spelled that wrong) and parts of that are worse than Detroit.
LOL Good doggies, good pups... Just a couple of them should be enough to keep the average burglars away. And nah, I don't get much in the way of traffic yet - I haven't even "opened" really. So, not much traffic yet. I see 'em trying and it has been good so far. I am tempted to block who countries though. Enjoy your food.
Dude... Did you grow up in a barren wasteland? *sighs*
Kids these days.
Alright, go get a speaker. Any speaker will do, some work better than others. Go get a pair of headphones. Mono work best but you can do whatever. Cut off the end - with enough wire left over to have room to strip it. Hook them up. There will be four wires, you will be attaching two. There will be two wires if you're using mono. Plug them into your computer. Speak into the speaker.
A microphone is just a speaker from the other direction. You can do it with just the headphones but they don't pick up the sound very well - you'll have to be REALLY loud. You really want a bigger speaker. They're designed differently but they're essentially the same thing. They both work by making contact and moving air - just in opposite directions. A speaker works as a microphone, just not very well.
(I'd not worry about laptop speakers being able to pick anything up when used as a microphone, they're just not going to be that effective.)
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo should do the trick. Hmm... Yeah, you can push that to run on boot and then just enable it when you need it. For the mic? I dunno. I guess you can tear it out of the kernel. There's the master volume thingy and you should be able to switch it off in that. Well, not off. You put it on mute. alasomething-or-other? I dunno, Google probably does. I'm not gonna go digging through books and my bash_history to find it.
Why not just remove the drivers or disable the device by the drivers? I suppose it's theoretically possible that they have an operating system underneath that's still able to turn on the camera but that seems a bit unlikely. Just disable the microphone and camera. It might also make a handy use for a 3D printer to cover the camera slot.
That's how you know if your remote has died. If you change the batteries and it's still not working then you point it at your cell phone's camera and check and see if the IR is detected. It has come in handy several times.
I've been going over other people's code and giving it a once-over before I even install it. Man, that's time consuming. *sighs* Then I hack the hell out of it and remove things I don't need. Yup. I'll comment out whole chunks of code, thanks. I've come across about a dozen plug-ins that looked good - until I read the code. They got put into the "do it yourself" pile. *sighs*
Oh, and I check logs. I'm over on an acquaintance's server in France with a reseller account so I've got pretty decent access, including SSH, so I go in and check the logs for irregularities.
At any rate... Yeah, the big companies have done some stupid things over the years but we really only read about it when they screw up. I don't know if I could put that many people together and ensure they wrote bug-free and secure code. Well, no... I'm sure I could. I'm not sure that they'd let me and I'm not sure they'd be willing to pay for it. If that makes sense?
That was in addition to and not contrary to. It was to clarify and not to argue. I was very very very very very blah blah blah clear about that. At least I figured the "for the record" would be indicative of such. Obviously not, however.
I figure that if they were going to then they'd do a combination of the two. They will be landing multiple things on Mars, if any of the current plans are to be believed, so having multiple methods might be good. They'll be sending supply missions ahead of time in any of the existing plans that I've read about. Those won't have human necks on them. Above, you stated that they can't use parachutes which struck me as odd as I recollected that they'd done just that.
That wouldn't surprise me but it does surprise me that you'd think I had the means or inclination to list all possible sources of for them to acquire that information.
Yup. I'd think he'd be as matter-of-fact about it as the rest of 'em.
Though, now that you mention it... The chances (two of them) that I had to interact with people who were fairly high-level government officials do bring that phrase to mind. I'd called it "role playing" to my traveling companion on multiple occasions but cognitive dissonance might be more accurate.

What bothers me is that there are usually zero free beds at that time of the year. So... Where did they put the 24 people who would have slept in those beds? More interesting is how come the number is only 24? 'Cause I have been there and have stomped all over the city - for months when I was younger and even worked out of SF for almost six months at one point and I don't actually believe the number is as low as 24. That's off by an order of magnitude, maybe even two. Ah well... I don't keep up with it and it was mentioned as items of interest by those who brought it up but it hasn't been mentioned again.
They're kind of correct. What I can suggest is that you start here and work your way out:

Look for unbiased sources and actual documents. The Left wanted (and keep in mind the political spectrum was a bit messier at that point with lots of Southern Democrats and Compassionate Republicans at the time) to, you know, stop fucking abusing the mentally ill. It's a just idea.
Except, the States were pretty broke. They couldn't really afford to house all of them AND give them the treatment they deserved. So, they kinda, sorta, basically let anyone go who was able to say they wanted to be free and showed they understood the concept of freedom. It really wasn't much more precise than that unless they were an obvious danger to themselves and the community and they sometimes let them go too.
This kept going until a bunch of suits throughout the 80s and even into the very early 1990s.
And yeah, you need to keep in mind that the spectrum was a bit more muddled then. When I was younger we had Democrats, elected ones, on television saying that the niggers didn't need belong in school with the whites. (I'm part black.) And, to make it more salient, the citizenry was largely cheering them on. No, it really wasn't the majority who were wanting equal rights, that's another myth. It was a very vocal minority who were tearing shit up and making the white people look bad. It should be noted that some of that minority (that was tearing things up) was also white.
I was not born a full-class citizen of your country.
Just some additional information... Many of those Natives would have been what we'd call Hispanics today. There are a few really good documentaries on the subject.
Those statements easily apply to both sides of the aisle. Zealots at either end of the spectrum are idiots. In fact, zealots on any subject are idiots. The Law of Diminishing Returns plays no favorites.
I'm pretty damned left on the political spectrum but let's try to be honest here. The jobs moving overseas were touted as the whole "rising tide raising all ships" thing by the Left. I know - I was there when they started talking about it at length in the late 1980s and getting progressively more public about the benefits to the poor and impoverished people (of Indochina, for one) who were living on just a dollar a day.
To be fair, the jackasses on the Right, those who happened to be business owners (quite a few businesses are run by left-leaning people, I hope you didn't think we'd not know that), thought about it for a moment and said, "Wait, you want us to do what?" And the rest is pretty much history. That is what basing policy on feelings and not logic gets you. It's entirely revisionist to try to place the blame on the Right. You're one of those people who complaints about the Republicans using Free Speech Zones and ignores that it was the Democrats (1988 at the DNC in New York) who got that started, aren't you?
Bullshit... You've got places in France that the cops won't even go into, for one example. I need only one to nullify your statement but I can come up with more. Hell, there are whole countries that are, at least as average, worse that SF. Hungary, Romania, etc...
But nah, keep up with the silliness while it all crumbles and you argue over meaningless things rather than working towards improving things.
Shit, my home state has a lower rate of violent crime, homelessness, and quite possibly even gun-crime than just your home city does in Europe but that's a topic for another day. San Fransisco sucks but it's nowhere near as bad as La Courneuve, Amiens, etc... Hell, they're convinced that there's ethnic cleansing in Denmark (I've my doubts about that one - I've not been for a while) and head back down to Marseilles (I think I spelled that wrong) and parts of that are worse than Detroit.
LOL Good doggies, good pups... Just a couple of them should be enough to keep the average burglars away. And nah, I don't get much in the way of traffic yet - I haven't even "opened" really. So, not much traffic yet. I see 'em trying and it has been good so far. I am tempted to block who countries though. Enjoy your food.
Dude... Did you grow up in a barren wasteland? *sighs*
Kids these days.
Alright, go get a speaker. Any speaker will do, some work better than others. Go get a pair of headphones. Mono work best but you can do whatever. Cut off the end - with enough wire left over to have room to strip it. Hook them up. There will be four wires, you will be attaching two. There will be two wires if you're using mono. Plug them into your computer. Speak into the speaker.
A microphone is just a speaker from the other direction. You can do it with just the headphones but they don't pick up the sound very well - you'll have to be REALLY loud. You really want a bigger speaker. They're designed differently but they're essentially the same thing. They both work by making contact and moving air - just in opposite directions. A speaker works as a microphone, just not very well.
(I'd not worry about laptop speakers being able to pick anything up when used as a microphone, they're just not going to be that effective.)
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo should do the trick. Hmm... Yeah, you can push that to run on boot and then just enable it when you need it. For the mic? I dunno. I guess you can tear it out of the kernel. There's the master volume thingy and you should be able to switch it off in that. Well, not off. You put it on mute. alasomething-or-other? I dunno, Google probably does. I'm not gonna go digging through books and my bash_history to find it.
Why not just remove the drivers or disable the device by the drivers? I suppose it's theoretically possible that they have an operating system underneath that's still able to turn on the camera but that seems a bit unlikely. Just disable the microphone and camera. It might also make a handy use for a 3D printer to cover the camera slot.
That's how you know if your remote has died. If you change the batteries and it's still not working then you point it at your cell phone's camera and check and see if the IR is detected. It has come in handy several times.
I've been going over other people's code and giving it a once-over before I even install it. Man, that's time consuming. *sighs* Then I hack the hell out of it and remove things I don't need. Yup. I'll comment out whole chunks of code, thanks. I've come across about a dozen plug-ins that looked good - until I read the code. They got put into the "do it yourself" pile. *sighs*
Oh, and I check logs. I'm over on an acquaintance's server in France with a reseller account so I've got pretty decent access, including SSH, so I go in and check the logs for irregularities.
At any rate... Yeah, the big companies have done some stupid things over the years but we really only read about it when they screw up. I don't know if I could put that many people together and ensure they wrote bug-free and secure code. Well, no... I'm sure I could. I'm not sure that they'd let me and I'm not sure they'd be willing to pay for it. If that makes sense?
That was in addition to and not contrary to. It was to clarify and not to argue. I was very very very very very blah blah blah clear about that. At least I figured the "for the record" would be indicative of such. Obviously not, however.
I figure that if they were going to then they'd do a combination of the two. They will be landing multiple things on Mars, if any of the current plans are to be believed, so having multiple methods might be good. They'll be sending supply missions ahead of time in any of the existing plans that I've read about. Those won't have human necks on them. Above, you stated that they can't use parachutes which struck me as odd as I recollected that they'd done just that.
That wouldn't surprise me but it does surprise me that you'd think I had the means or inclination to list all possible sources of for them to acquire that information.
There's a whole lot of faux outrage and victimization as a sport going on. At least it's only a blocklist at an individual level.
Yup. I'd think he'd be as matter-of-fact about it as the rest of 'em.
Though, now that you mention it... The chances (two of them) that I had to interact with people who were fairly high-level government officials do bring that phrase to mind. I'd called it "role playing" to my traveling companion on multiple occasions but cognitive dissonance might be more accurate.
