Looks like you missed HR 1981 PC-FIPA.-TaoPhoenix (April 05, 2012, 05:55 AM)
The CISPA acronym is probably the most honest of those proposed thus far, and certainly is self-explanatory: the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. Cybersecurity initiatives themselves are framed in such a way as to declare the free and open Internet to be subsumed into national security infrastructure, thus giving it over to the Pentagon, NSA, and other agents for use in surveillance and even offensive war. However, CISPA goes one step further to suggest that all information transmitted on this national security infrastructure is fair game for the prying eyes of the State. Most likely the private sector must bow to any and all demands made, or face being labeled as supporters of terrorism.
The main reason I don't just use a Microsoft Word (2002) table is there is no way to filter the table and perform queries.If a "filterable and queriable" Word table would do the job, then why not use Excel?-pschroeter (April 03, 2012, 11:41 PM)-AndyM (April 04, 2012, 08:57 PM)
HAHAHAHAHAHHAA~!Poking fun at a public figure who openly calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be “treated” as a way of re-educating them is apparently off limits for You Tube, who censored a video in which Alex Jones used absurdist satire as a vehicle to illustrate the crackpot and dangerous beliefs of University of Oregon Professor Kari Norgaard.
AFAIK, nope.-skwire (April 04, 2012, 04:10 PM)
Years ago I used to have a lot of problems with software being so loaded down with anti-piracy code that the program would either take forever to load or not load at all. That's when I thanked the pirates out there for their hard work. I was able to download "cracked" versions of the programs that would actually work and load in seconds compared to minutes. And every program/game that I ever bought had that sealed EULA that tells you once you open the seal you can't return the program. So I bought a game/program that don't work and my only recourse is what? Can't return it....
Same thing goes for CD's. I can't remember how many CD's I've bought that wouldn't work because of the DRM. Sony anyone? What recourse to you have at that time? Helllllooooo Pirates! Thanks for being there when I needed you.....
And then there's the games/programs you paid good money for that was just pure trash, not worth even $1. I got so tired of getting crappy games that I finally learned to download the program/game from a pirate site first just to see if it was worth paying for.
And I really hate buying a CD only to find that it only had one or two songs out of 14 that were worth listening to. It got to the point that I would download the CD on a pirate site just to see if it was worth buying or not. That was pretty much solved with being able to buy only the songs you like over the internet.-Tinman57 (April 04, 2012, 08:23 PM)

I posted this question on Yahoo Answers and all I got is recommendations for MySQL, Server Express, the type of database programs that are too complex for me to understand.-pschroeter (April 03, 2012, 11:41 PM)
I have since installed LibreOffice, but there was no way to import my data into Base without it being read-only. I also just can't figure it out.-pschroeter (April 03, 2012, 11:41 PM)
UK Government now retreating rapidly in face of public opposition (I think it took them by surprise).
Of course their response is:
"No, No, No, you got it all wrong. We want to protect your privacy."
Now we wait to see how they spin it to get their own way.

You thought your IT guy at work was looking through your e-mails -- turns out he's peeing on your chair, too.
An IT worker at Farm Bureau Financial Services was arrested after he allegedly did just that, according to the Des Moines Register.
Raymond Charles Foley, 59, was caught on surveillance video allegedly urinating on four female co-workers' chairs over the course of at least five months.

if i wanted to rip the pictures, the download manager i use, DownThemAll, will do that, plus i have Bulk Image Downloader registered shareware. no, all i want is more control over scrolling on a webpage. thanx gang!
do any of you even think something like that, pressing a button or a key to jump to the next photo, is even possible? or a button that pops up a menu of jump links to each picture on the page, like a table of contents (not links to where the picture is stored)? i would rather type "n" or pick "next" on a menu than scroll independent of the pictures. javascript to extract all the "img src" in the html or something?-DyNama (April 03, 2012, 02:51 AM)

My mother recently left me a 3 minute voicemail of silence. I called her back to ask what she wanted and she said that she must have bum-dialed me. After that, I told her I was grateful it was silent.-Deozaan (April 03, 2012, 06:59 AM)
Not in this case, here it is a result of the penchant for everyone suing everyone else at the drop of a hat and the attendant insurance stipulations that arise from that. She's working on Council property, she has to abide by their OHS rules.
If she was working in that flowerbed and a car flattened her, the council is responsible and it's their a..e they're covering.
It would have been different if she had just been sitting on a bench there but she was working - free or not, it doesn't matter.
The same applies here in Australia under OHS, that's why all the police, council workers and any public/private employees wear hi-vis gear when they're out working on public land/roads because if they're not and the WorkSafe people see them, they will be fined for unsafe work practices and their employer is likely to get a kick up the a..e also.
This case is all down to the CYA principle.-4wd (April 03, 2012, 07:00 AM)
Though I hate that patriotic act, it's necessary evil which lobbyist and politicians are pushing because of their own messed up situation and for profit.-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
Last thought - in any western countries these days if you want to get legislation passed you just cite public safety and terrorism as a mantra!Not true. Legislation is passed with or without public interest. Legislations are passed to the large extent due to lobby interests.-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.
You know why ron paul is developing some followings? He wants to legalize marijuna, oppose sopa and every other white-collar issues that are ignored by republicans and other liberal parties.-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
The reason obama won last time because he was *not* bush and people never wanted that war. Obama delivered that and there is no direct signs of war with any country today( though some random clashes do exist but no panic signs).-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
Nom-nom-nom~! The problem with developed nations like united states is that infrastructure and social development issues are negligible and for that reason politicians create artificial problems like - gays in military, prayers in school, Dream of America as a Christian nation, war with terrorism and intellectual property rights issues.-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
Do you know Santorum made deal with some random SEO agency(as per SEOMoz) for positive reviews across the Internet. Don't be surprised if tomorrow Google or any other SE gets sold with billion of dollars deal to screen negative reviews for these politicians or even get ISP's to block such websites. That is the future, I don't want to see.-mahesh2k (April 03, 2012, 03:22 AM)
Regarding #6, while it's undoubtedly true that the UK has more CCTV per capita than any other country, the statistics they use, (from a survey in ~2005), to arrive at the quoted figures are open to scrutiny.-4wd (April 03, 2012, 12:49 AM)
Another view of those figures: FactCheck: how many CCTV cameras?-4wd (April 03, 2012, 12:49 AM)
And #19 is just plain bullsh!t. She is not working in her garden, she is working on a public village flowerbed. As such she is bound by the same OHS directives that council workers/tradespeople/etc are.-4wd (April 03, 2012, 12:49 AM)
not even OCRed. Does that make a difference?
Yes, that would make it easy, if it's converted to a .png or .jpg.
Use ScreenshotCapture's editor or another editor that can blackout sections.
Then to be sure, take a screenshot of the finished product.-cmpm (March 09, 2012, 11:20 AM)
Interesting that your upload speed is SO much higher than download speed??? Doesn't look quite right to me!-Carol Haynes (April 02, 2012, 06:50 PM)
) (Yeah... I'm totally baiting/daring you there~! )The madness going on in the UK is where the rest of the world is headed. Right now, there are more surveillance cameras per capita in the UK than anywhere else in the world. If you accidentally drop a couple of potato chips in public, or if you whisper a phrase that is not politically correct in a restaurant there is a good chance that you will be hauled into court. In the UK, the public has been sold the lie that society will be better off if everything and everyone is constantly monitored. But instead of improving society, what all of this surveillance is really doing is turning the entire nation into a very frightening version of George Orwell's 1984.

#13 Parents at one school in the UK were forced to undergo criminal background checks to prove that they were not pedophiles before they were allowed to accompany their own children to school Christmas events.

#17 In the UK, it is now illegal to photograph the police for any reason whatsoever.
