Comment Re:Stink filled Paint balls (Score 1) 770

Why not make a paint ball - filled with wretched smelling stuff/tear gas, etc - incapacitate the whole boat.
Or make it filled with infra red visible paint - then the Navy can do a flyover, pick out the boat and sink it.

Requires accurate aim. This device seems to act like a broader ranging weapon. Also environmental concerns using inks/dyes/chemicals. Comments have been made that this device's net or rope is also a hazard to marine life. Quite possibly, but at that distance from shore I wonder what would be affected.

US Colleges Say Hiring US Students a Bad Deal 490

theodp writes "Many US colleges and universities have notices posted on their websites informing US companies that they're tax chumps if they hire students who are US citizens. 'In fact, a company may save money by hiring international students because the majority of them are exempt from Social Security (FICA) and Medicare tax requirements,' advises the taxpayer-supported University of Pittsburgh (pdf) as it makes the case against hiring its own US students. You'll find identical pitches made by the University of Delaware, the University of Cincinnati, Kansas State University, the University of Southern California, the University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University, and other public colleges and universities. The same message is also echoed by private schools, such as John Hopkins University, Brown University, Rollins College and Loyola University Chicago."

Comment Heart, Brains... (Score 1) 480

I've been told that I wear my heart on my sleeve and my brain is in my [genetalia], so that's redundant. That leaves my fingers, ears, eyes and liver. I hate liver so that's out. I gave my wife the finger yesterday, so that's no longer mine. Brutus asked us to lend him our ears. Done. The "eyes have it", so they're gone.

Hmmm, I guess I don't have anything vital remaining. Whadd'ya know.

Submission + - Online support: Who would you go to first? 1

gmac63 writes: "Many of us use online support for our daily "fix of fixes". I used to use Usenet groups. Someone there always had the same problem that I did and the online community was ready with the answers. So what are folks these days using as their online support method? Could be any resource for any issue: Networking/Operating Systems, Datacenter, General user issues, anything. Is there a "preferred" online resource?"

Comment I don't think this is all about speech. (Score 1) 849

Re-reading this and trying to understand its base meaning, I believe it is in reference to any sort of public address or otherwise performance which is subject to the Miller Test [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test] which is NOT protected by First Ammendment Rights. I believe it would be:

1) open to great interpretation
2) have to pass some sort of test to determine its violation
3) must be directed at a group of people.

One case would be any exhibit or performance or assembly whereby the subject matter is considered by an society, to be in offense or directly offensive to another party or group.

Another might be where those who were charged with the violation were to have produced orally or in another material, subject matter that was in appropriate to minors, as deemed by society.

Still another would be assembly by any group wishing to disseminate hate or otherwise offensive material in any area which is deemed public.

I do not think this applies to individuals who would openly and verbally use profanity or offensive language, save that which might be deemed hate language or in communicating a threat.

Think about that angle
