so, what you're saying is that if we find ourselves in such a situation, *get arrested* so that it triggers the protections we should be getting, regardless.

is that correct?

btw, the hardware I'm using is kind of neat. its fanless atom N2800. an intel board that is low profile mini-itx and has an onboard dc-dc so you give it 18v (from an external brick) and that's the whole psu story. onboard is an msata port and I have a 4gb sandisk halfsize ssd that runs pfsense. the m350 case has an adapter that takes a right angle pci-e card adapter and you can use a decent chipset pci-e card for your 2nd nic. the first nice is a nice intel chip. no fans, decent speed and has been stable for years at a time, for me.

mini-itx fanless and intel gig-e chips for nics are the things to look for, imho. there are i3 chips that are 35w and with a good case, you can run them fanless, too (htpc case with heatpipes). if you need an i3, you can do that and still be silent (that matters to me).

subject says it all.

runs from very small disk (I use a 4gb m-sata ssd) and has a great ui, is a superb firewall and is bsd based. used to be the old openwall code.

carbon film?

you mean carbon. or metal film. I don't think you meant both ;)

fwiw, carbon resistors fail by opening; metal film usually fails by shorting. sometimes you want an open instead of a short, should the part fail.

simple explanation: those that attend more expensive hotels are more WILLING and ABLE to pay 'screw you' wireless fees than us normal working stiffs.

also, those at big expensive hotels are often corporate fucks and those can just 'expense it', and not care.

subversion is just another form of 'git' ....

"was that wrong? should I not have done that?"

yes, its now a meme. a lame meme, at that.

but marriot became 'george' and acted all surprised when they were called out on their shit.

damned big business. in the US, they think they are god. and we pray to them, LIKE they are gods.

in a way, its our own fault for giving too much power to big business.

will we ever learn????

I don't quite get the joke. is that supposed to mean 'piss be upon him' or something like that? sort of an inside joke?

quoting a hadith:

Until the Jew hides behind the rock and the tree. But the rock and tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, a Jew hides behind me, come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews. We believe in this Hadith. We are convinced also that this Hadith heralds the spread of Islam and its rule over all the land.... O Allah, accept our martyrs in the highest heavens.... O Allah, show the Jews a black day.... O Allah, annihilate the Jews and their supporters.... O Allah, raise the flag of Jihad across the land.... O Allah, forgive our sins

sorry, but islam IS evil. read the fucked up shit they believe. talking trees and rocks suggesting that they kill those who are different.

this needs to go! I suggest we all vote them off the island. (btw, they are thinking the same thing, as shown above!)

how christian of the pope to advocate turning the other cheek.

oh, wait. he never advocated that. he suggested a punch in the face.

WOW.

fake pope is fake. again. nothing godly about such people. they are born, they get sick and die like the rest of us and they eat and shit like the rest of us. the whole concept of a pope is actually funny to me, but I didn't grow up christian, so I was never brainwashed to think this guy had anything that the rest of us didn't.

agreed with all of that except 'be respectful'.

I refuse to respect religion. its been an untouchable sacred cow (how's that for mixing metaphors?) for far too long in earth's history and I (and a bunch of others like me) would like to finally see some progress in this 'bearded sky wizard' bullshit fairy story stuff that we shove down kids' throats and brainwash them at early ages to think in terms of fake heros and 'saviors'.

you can continue to think that those things are real, but I DO NOT HAVE TO RESPECT YOU or your beliefs. same as if you 'knew' that the loch ness monster was real or that you that 'knew' that bigfoot was real. I'd think the same of you if you were a bigfoot believer or a jesus believer. same thing to me.

I predict the return of a million russian woodpeckers

flood the 'watchers' with so much junk data, they won't be able to keep up.

(I can dream, at least, can't I?)

There are a few of them that grew up exactly like that. They show little difference with the rest of the politicians. Why? Because if they got to their position, anyone can, and those who don't become part of the 1% are clearly just lazy moochers.

Being poor in the US is either a temporary embarrassment or proof of being a bad person. It's quite amazing how alive Calvinism is in the US.

Great! That means that Al-Qaeda is not about Islam and instead is just about some base for some people, right? The fact that they constantly talk about Islam, Mohammed, and infidels is just a coincidence.

It's called an election. Not my fault that you can't convince enough people to vote for people who'll rewrite the Constitution.
