902.

Solve : Because we were told to gloat...?

Answer»

Today, we had choir competitions. Not really competitions, you dont get a "Place" amongst others, we just call it a competition for psychological reasons... but, thats a secret!

Anyways, we go sing (in our choir) in front of a judge, and they give us a score of 1+ to 5.
It pretty much goes like this:
+1, 1, 1- = Superior
2+, 2, 2- = Excellent
3+, 3, 3- = Good
4+, 4, 4- = Fair (as in, you pretty much suck, give up now)
and 5 = Poor. They never really give you this score... poor is: You STOOD up, sang a single note, and ran off the stage (as a group) crying.

The H20ville Mens Choir got a 1-, and the women got a 1!

Relatively the same scores as last YEAR, since were that great.

A group I would like to acknowledge is Pateros Middle/High school choir, who did an amazing job as well, their entire performance kept everyone in the audience (mainly Waterville, most people had left since it was so late in the day, and the group prior never showed up... leaving the auditorium empty for 15 MINUTES).

Other events  we attend:
Band "Competition" as well, in about a week, and later in the month, we have a CHORAL Choir event (Women and men singing together), and in May, our parade.



Edit: Pieces the guys sang, Down in the Valley (old folk song) and Loche Lomond (Scottish Folk Song)
We do a lot of uncommon pieces... we dont like people to hear repeats of things. Congratulations.  what about the sand people choir? Did they get a "Poor" rating at first, but return in greater numbers?Great job!!!!! Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 06, 2009, 10:46:09 AM

Solve : Criminal Defendant Ordered to Decrypt Own Hard Drive?

Answer» http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/criminal-defendant-ordered-to-decrypt-own-hard-drive?awt_l=MvOQK&awt_m=1a53JaU176K295



If Sebastien BOUCHER thought that encryping the data on his hard drive would protect him from prying eyes, he may have been right. But if the Derry, New Hampshire resident, who is originally from Canada, thought that it would protect his 5th Amendment right against self incrimination, he may have another think coming.

Last week, U.S. District Judge William Sessions (in Vermont) over-ruled a lower court ruling that Sebastien Boucher could not be forced to decrypt his hard drive, or provide the password to do so, because it would be a violation of his right to not incriminate himself, as guaranteed under the 5th Amendment.

At issue is the prosecution’s contention - based on solid evidence - that there is child pornography on Boucher’s hard drive. It all started when Sebastien Boucher was coming back into the country from Canada, and a customs agent noticed some child porn images on his laptop. At that time Boucher waived his Miranda rights to an attorney, and admitted that yes, there were child porn images on his laptop. The customs agent stated that they were able to view his “Z” hard drive partition, which contained “thousands of images of adult pornography and animation depicting adult and child pornography.”

[Note that it is likely that such a defendant may have believed that having animation involving children was not illegal - which would explain why he readily admitted it and waived his Miranda rights to a lawyer - but, in fact, anything that depicts a minor in a *censored* act - even fictitious, cartoon-drawn minors, may be illegal.]

However, after the files were viewed by the customs agent, the laptop was powered down, and nine days later, when authorities tried to access the data, they discovered that, upon turning the laptop on, they needed a password to access the data. The trial court ruled that he could not be compelled to decrypt it, because it would violate his 5th Amendment rights.

However, last week’s ruling directly overturns that decision.

Said Judge Sessions in his ruling, “Boucher is directed to provide an unencrypted version of the Z drive viewed by the ICE agent.” The Judge added that “Boucher’s act of producing an unencrypted version of the Z drive likewise is not necessary to authenticate it. He has already admitted to possession of the computer, and provided the government with access to the Z drive. The government has submitted that it can link Boucher with the files on his computer without making use of his production of an unencrypted version of the Z drive, and that it will not use his act of production as evidence of authentication.”

All this is legalese for “we already know he has it - and have other ways of proving it - so he’s not incriminating himself by being forced to give up his password.”

Jim Budreau, Boucher’s attorney, says that an appea is already underway.
very good , another one behind barsThis is one of those very controversial things...

I believe heavily that child pornography is wrong, and that people in possession of it should be prosecuted.

On the other hand, I also believe that the government has no right to pry into the computer data of its citizens, for no reason whatsoever, even if your a suspected terrorist.
Example:
I encrypt my drive, and I cant say that theres anything illegal on my computer... and, I dont have a lot to hide, but, I do have personal things, such as journals and emails.
Quite frankly, I dont want some government agent reading it. I dont care if I know who they are, but, I dont need to know that they are GOING to end up talking about this laptop they confiscated, and the private things some kid wrote in a journal and the conversations he had in email.

Whats the point of believing in freedoms if we are forced to say things? Its our right to not only speak when we want to, but, to stay silent when we choose.
Why do I encrypt my hard drive when the government can force me to give the password up? And what if that password is the same that accesses my email, and other web services?
Quote
even if your a suspected terrorist
I think, this is ridiculous.
I came from the country, where any freedom was a scarce, so I'm extremely sensitive to freedom issues, but I believe in search warrant, if issued in case of a crime.
You're saying, that, if I killed someone, nobody has a right to search my house, to see, if I have a gun?most countries have the right to search your pc for what ever reason they see fit , what your saying is that if they wanted someone on 9/11 the police should not be allowed into the hard drive for material , harry Quote from: Broni on March 09, 2009, 08:55:57 PM
You're saying, that, if I killed someone, nobody has a right to search my house, to see, if I have a gun?
I believe in warrants.

My statement:
"even if your a suspected terrorist"
Means: The government should never spy on its citizens telephone, internet, mail, or data communications of any kind, just because you said the word "terrorist" in the supermall.
PATRIOT act is one of the most unreasonable laws, in my opinion, since, there doesnt have to be any real evidence that you might even possibly be a terrorist before you can be:
Spied on, imprisoned, have your rights completely removed.

What is your exact solution, because I'm little bit lost?Basically they should have a reason, beyond a doubt, that you have something worth searching for.

IE in your example Broni they couldn't just willy nilly break into your house to search for a gun; or a murder weapon- rather they should try to isolate what the murder weapon is as well as try to place some motive.

As an example if they had video footage of the killing with the identification of the killer and the murder weapon it should be presented as conclusive proof of the killing. The stupid thing is if that video is on the internet they actually need permission from the poster to use it as evidence, which is complete and utter BS; conclusive proof LIKE that should never be inadmissable.

In the case of the patriot act being suspected of being a terrorist is essentially equivalent to being a terrorist- and in fact it seems that being islamic or from the middle-east is enough to arouse suspicion.

In fact, replace almost all of this terrorist propaganda with the word "communist" and we're in the cold war all over again.


The hilarious part about the cold war was essentially that the US didn't agree with the ideology that essentially stripped individual freedoms... and yet in an attempt to fight that ideology they implemented that very system of freedom stripping. The same is occuring now. Strip away personal freedoms in an attempt to preserve those freedoms is a backwards and frankly hypocritical method of "FIGHTING" the enemy whose expected plus sides are at the very least specious.

Quote from: harry 48 on March 10, 2009, 01:04:38 PM
what your saying is that if they wanted someone on 9/11 the police should not be allowed into the hard drive for material , harry

And that's what we mean. The methods at law enforcements disposal seem to work just fine for murders and rapes and so forth, so I'm a bit sketchy why they needed to strip personal freedoms and privacy.

Is treason really a bigger problem then serial killers? Do they really need to spy on everybody to find them?

If you think about it it's SIMPLY laziness on the side of law enforcement- instead of following the "rules" they simply cheat. I am of course not saying that it's easy the other way around- but something about the fact that our tax money goes to allowing this to occur doesn't sit right.

 i believe the police , cid , fbi , should be allowed to use what ever means they

have , as you said about youtube , also wiretaps , etc , anything

should be ok to use in court , but as long as they do not go outside the law , harry Quote from: harry 48 on March 11, 2009, 12:19:55 PM

Wiretaps would be outside of the law. Its an invasion of privacy. they shouldn't have to go outside to law to turn suspicion into proof; and if they do then the evidence they attain is questionable in some cases.

For instance....

Pop quiz: What talked to anyone who wandered by, sang the same damned songs all the time (always off-key), did a lousy Elvis impersonation, and had more than a passing resemblance to Bullwinkle J. Moose? No, it wasn't your Uncle Festus. It was Buck, the Animated Singing Trophy Deer.

This motion-activated life-size deer head--from Gemmy Industries, the same demented folks who brought us Big Mouth Billy Bass, the singing fish--swung its antlers from side to side as it murdered classics LIKE "Rawhide," "Sweet Home Alabama," and "On the Road Again." Why not Blondie's "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Deer" or Jimmy Buffett's "Door Number Three" ("And Monte, I sure need the doe")?

Answer: a failure of imagination. The kit did include a microphone, however, so you could project your own voice via Buck's lips, amusing your friends and frightening the children.

Sure, it sounds like fun, but after the third rendition of "Suspicious Minds," this novelty item's novelty value began to PLUMMET toward negative numbers. We recommend passing this Buck as quickly as possible--not hard as he has been discontinued.

Good NEWS...perhaps? Big Mouth Billy Bass is now available as an iPhone app. Warning: It's awful!
broken link.  Stupid company with that deer head needs to be put out of business Link fixed...Actually, that deer head could be useful for a practical joke. you know, put it in say, your bed next to your wife/GF, and then talk to them through the microphone or something, and be all like "OMG, something is wrong...I can't feel my arms or legs!"

and then when they lift the covers "AHHHHH! You've been transformed into a deer bust!"Wow! those are stupid! Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 10, 2009, 08:25:24 PM

Here's an excerpt from the book that was on the WIKI page:

Quote

And the sight which met my eyes was that of a slender, girlish figure, similar in every detail to the earthly women of my past life....Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmounted by a mass of coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming coiffure. Her skin was of a light reddish copper color, against which the crimson glow of her cheeks and the ruby of her beautifully molded lips shone with a strangely ENHANCING effect.
She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure.

Solve : The Sharing of Marriage...?

Answer»

An old couple walked into a local McDonald's...

The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.

He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully CUT it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.

He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and NEATLY placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a SIP of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.

Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything.

People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'

Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the NAPKIN, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'

She answered...

Solve : So Mad?

Answer»

I still cannot believe, that in software we have to PAY MEGABUCKS for, there is problems. Take Adobe PREMIER Pro - Sure, it has never ever failed me before.

Until today.

Sound was only being interpreted in the "original" monitor - and when I was exporting movies / editing them, the sound was not present.

How can only half a program have the sound from a clip??

Anyway, i've spent upwards of three hours trying to fix it, and have given up and gone to Windows Movie Maker, which - within a minute - was doing what adobe premier FAILED to do.

All I'm saying is, if you're going to buy a horrendously expensive program, just keep the free alternative on your computer.In the END, it is people who design this software. Any software made can have glitches, and the more expensive the program is, the bigger file size it is (usually), the more functions it has, and therefore more that can go wrong.

It's like buying a new phone. New phones now with 8 megapixel cameras, touchscreens, toasters (for Broni) - more to go wrong. Whereas, older phones would still be working PERFECT now if we had them. Quote from: kpac on June 08, 2009, 08:52:29 AM

Solve : How many monitors do you use with your main computer??

Answer»

Obviously, compruler has to produce some muddy waters....LOLUsing dual monitors here, which currently is one 17" CRT and one 19" LCD.  Until just a few months ago, it was two 17" CRTs.  I think the ideal situation for dual monitors is to have two the same size and set the same resolution, so I'd like to EVENTUALLY replace the remaining CRT with another 19" LCD.

I first started using dual monitors several years ago.  At the time, circumstances arose where I had an extra monitor and I decided to try dual monitors.  I believe most users, once they get accustomed to using multiple monitors, you may tend to be a bit disgruntled when encountering situations where you're stuck using one monitor.

BTW Broni, I have had three monitors (all CRTs) connected to my desktop; did it for just SHORT time to get a feel for it.  But, I don't really have room on my computer DESK for a third monitor except possibly an LCD.Broni----keep an eye on compruler!!!  He might drop YOUR gift CERTIFICATES in the mud!!

Solve : would you dare do this to your wife?

Answer»

A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of OFFERS.
"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some RUST," wrote Gary BATES, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.

Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to PLACE the ad as a joke.

"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.

"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"

The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, ALONG with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing."

But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

Taken, truenorthMate, I recommend both Man on Fire and Scarface.
Both QUALITY films.
Man on fire takes a good 45 minuites to get going, but after that its one thing after another, brilliantly written.
Scarface pretty much kicks off after half an hour, and stars Al Paciono, in my opinion the best actors that is currently living.

Sounds like he meant to archive it, with zip compression.

You can get a very nice - free -  utility here:  http://www.7-zip.org
that will do it for you.

But,  I DOUBT that a video will compress very much.   You'd have to try it and compared your zipped archive file, with the size of the original.

Other files THOUGH -   text files for example -  do compress significantly.

Would it still play right if zipped?You could post it elsewhere, (another host), and link to/embed it.it is taken from an e-mail i got , but there again i do not know how to make a link from and to anywhere , harryYou can try something like YoutubeCheck out BBC Code http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?P=b2cc3487db9cc1b70bc7aad65ede74b3&topic=57 and look for [url] or just paste the link in and it should do it automatically for most forum software.

Or was it "The Wrath of Khan" in which they fought over "Genesis."?  I was confused by the reference to the young captain.

I was referring to Generations. My reference to Genesis was a mistake.I like Star Wars. Quote from: JJ 3000 on May 29, 2009, 01:55:13 AM
I like Star Wars.

does "beam me up scotty" beat "use the force luke"?As much as I like yoda which isnt a whole lot at all which means that he places two levels above Barney.  I CANT stand watching that crap, it seems like a cheap knock of this series. Quote from: 2x3i5x on May 29, 2009, 02:11:23 AM

In some ways YES 

Crap, who toke my Triquarter!  It's a "tricorder"...

the stories behind Star Wars and Star Trek are so vastly different that there really is no "knock-off" quality. Star Trek is in the future. Star Wars in in the distant past. Star Trek is in this galaxy, Star Wars is... well, GOD knows where.

Now, other programs that came around, like babylon five, ARE knock OFFS in a sense.I used to really like that SHOW "Sliders".  Anybody else ever watch it? I know it was cheesy, but I was a fan. There are 21 episodes here:
http://www.hulu.com/sliders
I've seen that, but I was around 8 at the time, and don't remember too much about it.I never heard of it.Were getting of topic...."Scotty beam me up..."We are locked on, Beaming up.  I dont but I just watch enough of them when I was younger to know alot of the ep's by memory alot of the time.

Solve : 24 SDD HDD?

Answer»

Wow!! This is absolutely amazing. Samsung put together this promo video to demonstrate how fast SDD hard disk drives are and to push it to the max they SETUP a RAID system with 24 SDD hard disk drives!

Some examples of how fast it can open programs:

Open every office application (e.g. word, excel, etc) in .5 seconds
Open 53 different programs in 18 seconds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dWOEa4DjsDang it ManIncredible.

All those other videos on youtube about SSD vs HDD are so FULL of crap though. They really overdo it. All just a useless marketing scheme, but that's off topic.
WOW........WOW.......WOW

I want one.

God knows what i'd do with, but whatever I did it would be really fast. WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I WANT ONE SOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG SOOOOOOOOO FAST!!!!!!!!! I think i will play the lottery and buy 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAthat's amazed me..err.. i mean US.aw comeon! what next Samsung makes a Flash drive that walks on walls 

besides it would peter out after a while...thats why i stick with HD's

Why on your porch?  Why not like in the bathroom or int he basement?

but that's begging the question- Are they significant?

Since the wrapper is likely for the "milky way" chocolate bar, it's probably safe to say that any foreshadowing done by the CANDY bar wrapper is pertinent only in it's own galaxy.

of course, you say- "but we are in the milky way"- Ahh, but the wrapper describes the Milk Chocolately galaxy, not our home Galaxy whose mascot is white milk.

I would recommend giving them to Carbon so he may toss them into the rift. THROWING them in a standard garbage receptacle, while a perfect solution, means that they will be nearby. WATCHING. Waiting. For what, who knows. If choosing this option I recommend placing the wrappers in a wire wastebasket, and forcing them against the side (with other paper waste) and then forcing them to watch various 70's and 80's tv shows. With any luck you might even get onto Jerry Springer. "My paper wastebasket with milky way wrappers WATCHES too much TV!"...

but I guess that's mostly wishful THINKING...Ive' moved them strategically placed into a wire mesh bin filled with nothing else but paper shredded from my 49 page diatribe on the sounds vegetables make when being decapitated which was largely ignored by the Scientific community ...why i don't know.
They are all facing outwards and will be exposed to a 2 hour American Idol special on a 62" Plasma.
Hope this handles things...
