Actually, in Texas you can. Texas Penal Code - Section 9.42. Deadly Force To Protect Property

Setup a survey here on /. We can get, hopefully, more accurate information, calculate mean, median, whatever. Setup options in 10-20k increments.

Never heard of this, so I clicked on the link, this is what I get:

Very Nice.

has been doing this. I switched to openDNS which also does this, but there are other advantages, so I'm ok with that.

I replied similar to this above, but if you're microwave connection is generating any binary data and you're transmitting using ascii mode, you'll get file size differences at the destination.

Wrong. FTP has a binary mode. This is probably the reason his files are missing several k at the destination. Sending a binary file in ascii mode is the ONLY TIME I've ever had a file not transfer entirely/correctly using FTP. Unless of course there is a network error/timeout, etc, but the FTP client always errored out in those cases. Using SFTP over an already secure network will only slow things down greatly.

It's probably more like they aren't rolling back some transaction on a network error or something. Network timeouts, etc, are probably doubling up the votes from that machine. It's probably an unusual error so it doesn't get caught in testing. Like busy networks on election night? It's not that hard to imagine.

The Whitehouse can't even find their own frickin emails. They want every Dick and Jane to keep 2 year logs? Bush didn't go to jail, but Jane probably will.

1. Setup some fake files with dummy recording of noise using filenames that would trigger their stupid bots.
2. Wait until your disconnected from your ISP.
3. Take them to court.
4. Profit.
