And Hillary will be better than Obama how? She's "behind" his strategy lock, stock and barrel? She's voted for every war put before her and by many reports is a driver of the policies responsible for the train wreck that is the middle east...
At the end of the day... real changes (including more torture) will go through congress... and personally?

As opposed to "To simple minded to know what '(c)'" means? A known war hawk? Supporter of all the trade bills that are fucking the American Middle Class? A woman who, but many reports, has endorsed the highest donators to her "Charity"? Is pro women yet supports regimes that treat women as property, defends pedophiles and rapists (her husband)? Is pro LGBT yet accepts donations from countries that murder them? Is pro minority yet calls them "Super Predators" and is partially responsible for legislation that has led to generations of them in prison?

in my opinion, abusing a child (and I'm not talking about a 19 year old sleeping with a 16 year old... or some of these "borderline" cases) is unforgivable. The punishment for that should be SO extreme that your life should basically be forfeit if you commit this kind of crime.
That's my opinion, and I stand by it.

Let's be honest, there's a difference between some guy who had consensual sex with a 16-17 year old and some guy who molests pre-pubescent children. The former should be treated like any other criminal and the other needs to stay locked away for everyone's safety. These half-measures hurt everyone involved.
I agree with this fully, and I was going to reply to the effect to some people... there does need to be a sliding scale for adolescents that make mistakes - or do stuff with "permission" from parents then break up and all of a sudden its rape - or these borderline acceptable behaviors...
Up to those who deserve to be castrated and dumped into gen pop prison with their case made public.
I'm not dense enough to think that it's all black and white with no shades of grey - guilty for life or not... My assumption is that this is on the bad side of the scale - and someone who's genuinely used/abused a child deserves to have their lives ruined. They've ruined someone elses life (irregardless of whether that person heals). The punishment for that deserves to be SO extreme that anyone who considers it knows that their life will effectively end.
I don't think this should be an eye for an eye... this should be an eye... for an eye and an arm and a leg and...
A bit harsh... but it's the one "unforgivable" sin in my book.

Ask Slashdot: Affordable Hardware For Remote-Booting USB Devices? 81
Another ubiquitous power source (in the enterprise environment) is Power over Ethernet. Active PoE splitters for 12V output are available for ~6-7 USD and up on eBay. With PoE you get networking and power over the same wires, and booting your (possibly borked) PoE device is a matter of instructing the PoE source to cycle the power on that port. (Also, USB chargers with 12V input are available for less than 1 USD on eBay. They are likely all crap, though.)
I am looking for the combination of these two concepts in a compact, affordable, quality product. I found one product offering USB power from PoE. That product appears to have left out Ethernet and has a MSRP of 30 USD. Otherwise, I find PoE wall sockets for a MSRP of USD 100 or more. It appears excessive, given the cost figures of the pieces listed above.
So, if it does not already exist... anyone feel like running with this on your favorite crowdsourcing platform? Any experienced electronics people who can do a back-of-the-envelope calculation for cost of parts and assembly?
