So basically it sounds like anything using the wpa_supplicant code may do this? I can understand why it may be necessary for a hidden network, don't understand why the connecting party would ever transmit anything about past connections for public networks. Isn't SSID included in the beacon every 100ms or so?

Here is a standard one:

An even better solution is for police to finally start giving tickets out to bike riders who fail to obey traffic laws.

The heart disease more than likely was already in place and led to the weakness he felt in the years after the accident.

At least every lawyer type e-mail I get has a giant disclaimer at the end if you are NOT the intended recipient. Perhaps GS should have considered using that? Over paid dopes.

I'm generally good at picking up sarcasm but missed it in your post, lost in the sea of do-gooder posts.

So net-net, it did not help, right? It just squeezed the water ballloon?

ITER is a giant money pit and has been from the start. I do hope that the congress critters redirect at least some of the funds towards US based non-tokamak alternatives which have struggled to get funding in light of the giant sucking sound that is ITER.

And to those going OMG! Fossil fuels!

Assume that the remaining members of ITER are successful before they are bled dry. Do you honestly think that any commercial venture will exclude customers in non-ITER countries? That would be pretty stupid. Better that the US pay a premium on each reactor built (assuming that someday ever happens) than to continue to pour money down a hole today.

Yes comrade. Where do I show you my papers?

Rather than accept that the latest fad has not helped and has other negative consequences, just like educatoin the powers that be instead wish to modify "tweak" "enahnce" the existing failure instead of reverting back to the original state and starting over.

Go back to the original walk/do not walk and add "run". No timers so nobody knows quite how long it lasts. ...

It is also reasonable to assume that any government sanctioned, or even criminal/mafia types would use just that type of info to hide their own involvement. Location and time are really pretty useless.

why are any birth control products covered? Sorry, you want to fuck then find the money out of your own wallet to pay for contraceptives.

You misread my post. I have had my posts removed from my newsfeed. Not talking about friends, etc. If I view my newsfeed sorted by "most recent", fb has removed content. If I post about puppies, shows up fine. So again, not only is fb denying my content to others, its mechanisms are denying it to me as well unless I view directly on my home page.

you have to select the pay as you go option. activating the sim will give you a new phone number which you may then toss when you are done with your time in the US. I would suggest forwarding your old phone to the temporary number or telling those from where ever it is you are coming from that do need to still contact you the temporary number.

I have had my own posts removed from my newsfeed. That should be the bigger issue - I really doubt I've been singled out. (looks out window for black heli..._)
