You forgot to disable broadcasting of your SSID. Really, does that even matter? Is the difference not just "MyHomeWifi" or "Unnamed wifi detected"?
I've got my wifi locked down pretty tight too, but I just didn't bother disabling the SSID, given I think that's all the difference there is. I'd rather have the tiny convenience to know which of the 6 local clouds is mine. Even if the broadcasting of the SSID is disabled, the access point still has one, it just doesn't answer when a nearby computer yells "Are there any access points around?" Essentially it adds another password to using the access point, since you need to know its name.
Also keep in mind voter turnout. In 2004, about 50% of the voting population supported Bush, which works out to somewhere around 1/3 of the population voting for him. You can obviously argue about people being too lazy, apathetic, or cynical to go out and vote, but saying that half the country voted for Bush in 2004 is not quite accurate.
Recall some of the things that Republican Congressman said about Clinton went he went into Kosovo. Now try and reconcile that with the Republicans saying that people are "supporting the terrorists" if they dare to criticize Bush policy in Iraq or Afghanistan. But Kosovo was pre-9/11. We live in a post-9/11 world now.
Aren't these companies good at working the books so that even the most succesfull movie or album is not profitable for tax purposes? Not really, because that would bring the IRS down on them, and no company wants that. The "Hollywood Accounting" that you're thinking of is in relation to paying royalties. Studios frequently tell the government that they made $500 million in profit and pay taxes on that profit, then they turn around and tell the writers that the movie still hasn't made a profit.
From what I've heard, and I may be mistaken, KDE4 will be in the standard repositories (universe, maybe?) for 8.04. I believe the plan is to have two installation discs available, one that installs KDE 3.5.x and one that installs KDE 4.0.x. I would guess that installing the other version from either starting point would be fairly easy.
My Chumash translates tir'tzeach as "murder". My Hebrew-English dictionary translates "kill" as harag or hemit. My guess would be that "kill" is the incorrect translation.
and the seven days of creation (which is in the original more akin to "seven chapters" or "sevel daily tasks"). The Hebrew word used in Genesis is the word for "day". Just like in English, though, it doesn't necessarily mean a literal solar day (as in the expression "back in my day"). The fact that the sun wasn't even created until the fourth day also supports the idea of a non-solar day.
What strikes me (excuse the pun) is that now they've determined it was an asteroid the attitude is "oh well these things happen - at least it wasn't someones big secret weapon".
Ok, so let me ask, whats the difference? Asteroids strike effectively random targets. Weapons are aimed by people.
Once your management knows that they can get a hold of you via email any time, any place, they suddenly expect that to be the norm. With plain old cell phones, it requires a personal interaction that feels much more intrusive. When you shoot off an email, it doesn't feel the same. You don't feel bad about it, like you do when you call someone and interrupt their dinner. Which makes people much more likely to do it. Pretty much by definition, email is not time-sensitive communication. If someone is sending you an email about an emergency, that person is in serious need of some education on the subject.
If I infringe copyright the copyright holder still has copyright, and still has his music. He hasn't lost anything. Except that distributing copyrighted material without authorization means that the holder has lost something, namely their control over how their work is distributed. I certainly don't agree with six-digit penalties for sharing a few songs, but the repetitive insistence that copyright holders don't lose anything from infringement is old and tired.
Doing simple AJAX stuff is easy. Drag/drop a few lists. Insert a new div into the page... Repeat after me: DHTML/DOM manipulation has NOTHING to do with XMLHttpRequest.
Actually, people who love small "artish" releases love going to arthouse theaters to see them. And for the big action blockbusters, people don't quite have the same size screens at home to enjoy them on.
so, in short, proclaiming the death of theater is premature and stupid. People still LOVE going out to the movies. It's just the way it is. You are all so very sadly fucking WRONG!
I didn't "proclaim the death of theater", nor did I say anything about "artish" movies. The big action movies are likely to stay in theaters; by "smaller productions" I meant movies other than these. Comedies might be good candidates for direct-to-DVD releases, since the screen and audio system of a theater don't significantly affect the quality of the movie. Sequels and other projects connected to existing franchises (sci-fi series are the first to come to mind, but some TV series with a million spinoffs, such as CSI, might also work) could also do well in a direct-to-DVD market, since they already have a large fan base.
While you make a good point, allow me to raise this question to you: What is happening to those principles when said rights, privileges, etc CAN be taken away from the majority by a minority 'donation'? Does the phrase "being shit on" work for you?
The direct-to-DVD market is starting to gain a bit of legitimacy, so it may not be too many years before movie studios start focusing less on theater releases for smaller productions.
What if more than 50% of the people illegally download music, shouldn't the law then be repealed? No, and that's why the United States isn't (and never should be) a true democracy. If the US were a true democracy, it would be more of a white Christian nation than it already is. Non-whites would likely still be slaves, and I, as a non-Christian, would be lucky to be exiled instead of tortured to death. One of the most important principles in US government is that there is a defined set of rights, privileges, etc. that can not be taken away from the minority by a majority vote.
know perfectly well that they're wronger than wrong I may have to disagree on this one point. I think many of them do believe that protecting the music and film industry from intellectual property infringement is "right". I can even agree with the goal, but the methods being used are certainly far beyond anything that should be considered reasonable.
Whether this makes them better or worse is left as an exercise for the reader.
It's been a while since freshman physics, but I believe your equations are actually the same.
dp = F * t dm * dv = F * t m * dv = F * t (We'll assume that the mass doesn't change) F = m * dv/t (dt and t both mean the amount of time to come to rest)
I wonder if this applies to home networks that are wide open. How would a home user be expected to monitor traffic at that level? They aren't, and this bill doesn't require them to.
And someone stole my car and used it in a crime I would be (under that logic) liable for that crime too? If you knew that your car was stolen and that it was going to be used in a crime and didn't report it, you may face charges for being an accessory to the crime, depending on the state. If the victim (or family) files a civil suit, you'd probably be in pretty big trouble. As has been mentioned several times already, this bill does not require that you monitor all traffic over your access point, it only requires that you report a crime that you know is being committed using your equipment.

And how much more appropriate that would have been.

If you have child pornography on your computer and someone else outside your network can access it, this law will be the least of your concerns.
