I expect that when the neighbor resultingly gets her house or car vandalized, she'll wonder who she has to thank. She may also hesitate to call 911 again the next time she fears that a crime may be in progress in her neighborhood. Why the hell would you assume someone would do that. Man you are a negative fucker I think you naively underestimate the inclination of certain elements to retaliate against neighbors who call the cops on them. And I think you naively overestimate the inclination of said elements to thoroughly investigate the source of the call before retaliating.

$1000? Skip the Core2 and go for the Core i7. ASUS N61JQ-X1 NoteBook Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz) 16" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 lenovo IdeaPad Y550P(324156U) NoteBook Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M The ASUS looks Nice...so does the Lenovo..but only 1.6ghz? 1.6Ghz != 1.6Ghz. It's 1.6 as a "default", but it'll ramp the individual cores up to 2.8GHz under load as needed. Benchmarks also have it listed above some of the Core2 Quad desktop processors: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7+720QM+%40+1.60GHz

Hmm...

Most modern laws are in place because most politicians are more afraid of being seen as having done nothing than having done nothing good.

Here's one I happened to come across earlier tonight: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?vt=5&GroupID=243&Code=29586SU&hide_menu_area=true It's the same price as the HP, but has 4GB of DDR3 instead of 3GB of DDR2 (I think DDR3 is a little easier on the battery), a slightly faster processor, and an LED-backlit screen, which is also a little bit better for battery life.

Many companies also sell refurbed laptops. Check out techbargains.com, they usually have some pretty good deals.

I'm really only familiar with SQL Server on 03, but what account does the database server run under? I've had issues restoring DB files before if the DB Server user account doesn't have permissions in the data folder. Also, are the folders you're working with set to inherit permissions? If possible, disable that to see if you can change the permissions and get it working, just be sure to make any changes propagate to the child objects when you make them.
-
Are the folders that you're trying to share the folders containing the data files for the DB server? I've had Windows do some odd things when trying to change permissions on the folders containing the data files if the databases were online.

The latest buyoff in the health care deal
justinb138 replied to kelpdiver's topic in Speakers Corner
I'm well aware how the SCOTUS has interpreted misinterpreted the Constitution. What can we expect when the government is given control to interpret the document limiting it's own power? Perhaps you would be better served by looking over the Federalist Papers -
The latest buyoff in the health care deal
justinb138 replied to kelpdiver's topic in Speakers Corner
If Article 1, Section 8 was meant to be all-inclusive, allowing the government to do anything it wants for the "general welfare", why would they have gone to the trouble of explicitly listing the enumerated powers? If you can't see the logic in that, perhaps the opinion of Thomas Jefferson might provide some insight: Note that this was his opinion on the Constitutionality of a central bank, but it's an accurate description of how he viewed the concept of "implied" powers in the constitution. -

You are aware that the founding father protected slavery in the Constitution, right? I'm aware of what's written in the Constitution. I'm also aware that some of the things that made it into the constitution the founding fathers didn't always agree about. -

A different point of view on that topic. And I think you need to review the thoughts of the founding fathers on slavery. -

It's so hard to defend that none of the big fans of HC reform here have even tried. I'm an advocate for reform. The entire system from care delivery to financing care needs overhaul; and is much reliant on reform of tangent activities (cost of schooling, tort reform, etc). What we are seeing isn't meaningful reform. "Change we can believe in." * *If you're a politician in the democratic party, union official, hospital developer in Connecticut, on medicare in Louisiana, using medicare advantage in Florida, an insurance company in Michigan, a worker at Serious Materials, AIG, GM, or Chrysler. -
Hasn't happened with any of my stuff. Only security flaw I've seen lately is on CT's state tax website. You'd think the people that designed that would have at least read MS's recommendations on IIS security, but it would appear not.

If it was me, I'd look at using something like PrimoPDF (free) to print the document to a PDF file and send it. You could print it from your web browser into the PDF format, or do something in MS Word, etc..

Why are people not more angry at Wall Street?
justinb138 replied to Darius11's topic in Speakers Corner
The financial sector did not force home buyers to overbid like mad, driving up home prices. Home buyers collectively played a big part in this problem. The victims in all this are the renters who refused to take out irresponsible loans. I think it was a combination of things. Greed has a counterpoint - fear. People are less likely to take risks to satisfy their greed when there is fear of something bad happening, and the corollary, they are more likely to take risks when there is little or no fear involved in their decisions. With the government-backed GSEs buying up all the risky mortgages & the Fed enabling them to do so with cheap credit, it all but removed any fear the banks had of negative consequences. Gotta love those policies - Private profits, public losses. Even if you don't consider the pressure from the CRA to make risky loans (or else face lawsuits, ie. Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank) , what motive would they have had to refrain from making risky loans? There are a few things I still don't get. 1, The myth that the Fed has any interest in fighting inflation, when it's designed to do exactly the opposite, It's not only done a shitty job of controlling inflation, it's turned it into an art form. 2. The concept of the "elastic" money supply. Elastic things stretch, and eventually return to their original state. I think the proper term would be a "ductile" money supply. 3. The idea the increased regulatory power brings with it increased knowledge. Ben Bernanke says that if the Fed had more regulatory power that they could have done something about the situation, yet they were all but oblivious to the situation until it was already upon us. He' still running around telling everyone that the Fed had nothing to do with it. If he isn't capable of seeing the problem now, what good is giving him more power going to do? -
I have a much better computer at home than I do at work, and I'm in IT. I suspect that's the case for many people. Why? Because each is used differently. I don't watch movies, play games, or do any real hardware-intensive stuff at work, nor does anyone else in the building. Companies buy cheap computers because they don't need to buy expensive ones - it doesn't take much to run MS Office, access the internet, and run most other business apps. I'm not seeing that as a reasonable argument to replace equipment.

Did that, tried backleveling it to 8.5 also. No go. Wendy P. From what I've "read" on the "internet" (so, take with a grain of salt for that part), plus my own experience a few months ago, when AVG upgraded to 8.5 and beyond, it pretty much sh*t the bed. Having said that, there have been a couple recent threads about effective, free, anti-virus software. I heard there's a MS anti-virus out there...MSE? I don't know if it's free or not. I'm using Kaspersky now, which isn't free, but isn't expensive either, and seems to operate with little interference. I'm sure it's not perfect...I guess time, and surfing will tell. I've been using MSE on Win 7 Pro for the last few months, no problems so far. It seems to use fewer resources than AVG/Avira, etc..

Federal Reserve earned $45 billion in 2009
justinb138 replied to jgoose71's topic in Speakers Corner
Bogus from the govt/fed's standpoint? No. Bogus for the rest of us that live in reality? Yes. The government is paying itself interest on money it created out of thin air and is considering it a profit. -
DZ Tools JumpRun! Windows 7 Compatability
justinb138 replied to IanRosenvinge's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What version of windows 7 are you using? I'm not sure which version has "XP Mode" (where it runs inside a VM), but that might be a solution. -
Have you actually read the book?

Agreed. Most 600s now put out more HP than my car - at 1/10th the weight.
