There will be times that you will want to edit an automation, preview an automation you did or did not write, pause an automation, etc. for many different reasons. If you are having issues with automated messages specifically, we always suggest reviewing and managing your different automations. For example, if patients are getting duplicates to confirm an appointment, there could be two different automations sending two separate messages.
Review Automations
You can get a pretty good idea of what each automation does by taking a quick glance at it.
Description: Type of automation (Appointment, Procedure, or Recall) and the brief description.
From: Which resource is this automation coming from (Provider, Location, Device, General)
To: Who this automation will be sent to. It can be restricted by an event, resource, provider, appointment status, etc. depending on the type of automation.
When: When the automation is sent out, which is usually when an appointment is created, when an appoint is confirmed, etc.
Msgs Sent: Indicates how many messages with this automation have been sent in the last 7 days.
Send Via: indicates if this automation is sent through text, call, or email. If the conversation bubble is green, the text is a good length of characters, less than 160. If the bubble is yellow or red, the text is usually too long.
Form: States which form was attached.
Previewing Automations
If you would like to preview what a text will say, click on Expand SMS Text in the top right corner to preview all the text sent automations.
If you would like to preview what a phone call will sound like:
- Go to the Action Menu of the automation by clicking the 3 dots on the far right.
- Select Edit Automation.
- Select What should this automation say?
- Click on the Call tab.
- Click the phone icon under you message. When you hover over it, it should say "Preview Phone Call"
- Enter a valid phone number to send the preview to.
Edit Automations
Sometimes you will want to edit what an automation says, what event triggers it, etc. If you need more information about which sections you should edit, review the Creating Automations article. To edit an automation:
- Go to the Action Menu of the automation by clicking the 3 dots on the far right.
- Select Edit Automation.
- When done, click Update in the bottom right.
Paused and Incomplete Automations
If you no longer want to send certain automations, you can pause them by:
- Go to the Action Menu of the automation by clicking the 3 dots on the far right.
- Select Stop Automation.
To manage any automation you paused or any automation that was not complete, you can go to the Paused tab to view and edit them.
To determine if an automation is incomplete, when the Action Menu, the 3 dots on the far right, is selected, the Status should say Incomplete. To complete an automation, you must edit it and complete all appropriate sections (always need to specify who it will be from!)
If you choose to start an automation, either action can be selected from the Action Menu.
View Edit History
Creating automation is complicated, but it can be even more complicated remembering what changes have been made over time and why. The changelog solves this problem by allowing you to view all past edits, when they were made, and by whom.
- Go to the Action Menu of the Reminder by clicking the 3 dots on the far right.
- Select View Edit History
- At the bottom of the page you will see a list of all edits made to this automation.

Our Four Favorite Raw Fruit Juice Recipes
My feeling about juicing is that you should have as many colors of the rainbow represented in your juice. It makes for a more balanced body, raises your vibration and also helps all your chakras spin clockwise (meaning that they are healthy.) With that said, here are our favorite five-star juice combinations so far.
Note: The volumes make about 4 cups of raw juice. You then divide that into two quart Mason jars and add 2 cups of ice cubes to each jar. Dump the whole mixture into your blender and buzz it on High to make 4 cups of diluted juice. This makes enough juice for 2 people for the morning juicing. Ginger is great for increasing circulation and it gives your juices a "zip."
Juice #1: Cantaloupe juice with a ½ cup splash of Knudson's Lemon-Ginger-Echinacea juice (we were trying to use up what was in the fridge one day about 10 days into our juice fast.) One whole 8-10 inch cantaloupe makes about 4 cups of juice.
Juice #2: Apple (4 cups), Pineapple (1/2), Mango (1), Plum (2), Banana (2)
Juice #3: Peach (2), Plum (3), Ginger (2 inch chunk), Pineapple (1/2), Kiwi (1), Orange (2)
Juice #4 Apple (3), Peach (1), Banana (2), Blueberries (1 cup), Mango (1), Plum (2) and Lemon (1)
The fruit juices are definitely more enjoyable than the vegetable juices. We've really been trying a bunch of stuff! See the Juice Fast Blog for all of our experiences!

"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" is a kind of movie we don't often see anymore.
Today's historical pictures tend to rely on the cheap thrills of violence ("Gladiator") or on "good old days" nostalgia ("Seabiscuit") that caters to current fashions.
By contrast, "Master and Commander," based on historical novels by Patrick O'Brian, is a richly old-fashioned epic. Yes, it has scenes of violence and emotionalism. But it's more interested in building sharply focused characters and exploring their inner psychology as well as the external events that shape - and sometimes consume - their lives.
Played by Russell Crowe, the hero is Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey, commander of the British warship Surprise during the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century. He's been ordered to faraway waters off the Brazilian coast to prevent a powerful French ship from doing more damage than it already has. Despite the vigilance of Aubrey and his crew, the French manage to slip away not once but twice, leading the captain to vow it won't happen a third time. Exceeding his orders, he heads farther south than planned, engaging in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
In addition to Aubrey and a shipload of colorful secondary characters, there's another key figure on board: Stephen Maturin, the ship surgeon. Maturin (Paul Bettany) is a man of action, ready to patch gruesome wounds in the heat of battle. Yet he's also a man of curiosity and intellect.
When the French lure the Surprise as far from home as the Galapagos Islands, Maturin is overcome by the urge to explore and understand this barely charted place. Aubrey promises to indulge his friend's interests as much as possible - which turns out to be less than Maturin hopes, given the wartime pressures.
The movie gets much of its absorbing power from the amicable duel between these two. The rest comes from director Peter Weir's eye-filling views of life at sea and the fearsomeness of combat between unevenly matched vessels commanded by smart, wily officers. This is Mr. Weir's best movie in ages, conveying the subtle sense of mystery that underlay "Gallipoli" and "The Year of Living Dangerously." I do have a nit to pick regarding Crowe, who relies more on his winning smile than his emotional versatility to bring Aubrey alive.
In all, though, this is a rip-roaring adventure combining edge-of-your-seat battle scenes with vivid historical details and more fascinating characters than most action movies dream of. Add heartfelt acting and Russell Boyd's atmospheric camera work, and you have the adventure movie of the year.
• Rated PG-13; contains violence.

Using "Cluster" Groups to Seek Solutions to Tribal Drinking
The White Mountain Apache Tribe organized "cluster" groups of people with similar interests as a way to find solutions to community problems, especially in the area of substance abuse.
Despite income from a tribally owned sawmill and ski resort, unemployment has been high and drinking a community norm, and an estimated 40 percent of adults had a serious problem related to alcohol abuse.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) national program, Healthy Nations®: Reducing Substance Abuse Among Native Americans.
Key Results
Project staff developed:
- A women's group, which included an eight-week support group to help participants learn to live healthy lives.
- A men's group, which focused on men's strength. Group members made more than 150 presentations to area schools on the importance of being drug-free and the importance of being Apache.
- A parenting group, which conducted several 10-week parenting sessions for young parents, parents of adolescents and parents who had been referred by the court for neglect, child abuse or battery.
- Outdoor adventure courses for youth that included white water rafting and a rope-based obstacle course, which were designed to give participants a fun, challenging experience and provide staff an opportunity to talk with them about substance abuse issues.
- Staff coordinated weekly adult radio talk shows and teen talk shows and developed videos on substance abuse that ran on televisions that were displayed at prominent locations on the reservation.

Proper guitar setup is important when you have an electric guitar so that you can play it effectively and without trouble. You want the best sound from your electric guitars and changing over the strings can also be a very important task to undertake. However, when you have string retainers, a lot of people find they struggle to restring their electric guitar. So, how can you restring your guitar when it has string retainers? Read on to find out more.
Step One – Remove Old Strings
You have to carefully remove the strings which have been wrapped around the string retainers. You will have to unwrap the strings carefully so that you don't damage the retainers. It should be fairly simple to remove the strings once the strings are unwrapped from the retainers. This should take a few minutes at best and once you do, you will be able to start restringing the guitar. You can use your guitar kits to help here.
Step Two – Adding New Strings
Firstly, you need to take the new strings from the start of the bridge of the guitar and will need to pass them through the hole of the guitar. You will find a ball there which prevents you from moving the strings any further. You will find the ball helps to keep the string in place. Then, you will need to carefully thread the strings to the string retainers. This is not overly difficult to do and if you are careful about it, you shouldn't have too much trouble. You do have to be careful and be gentle too otherwise; if you're too rough you'll damage the strings or possibly the guitar. Click here.
Steps Three – Placing the Strings and Tuning
Next, you want to ensure each string has been placed in the correct position so that it matches up with the nut it's supposed to. You will need to carefully pass the string through the slot in the guitar and carefully place it onto the string retainers. However, there needs to be ample room for the string. You need to leave room between the tuning post and the bridge. Learning about the proper guitar setup is pretty easy but again, if you do it wrong, everything can go a bit awry. If you don't have enough slack then winding might be extremely difficult. The last thing for you to do is to tune the strings which you must do carefully.
Restringing With Ease
It looks a lot more complicated than it actually is when it comes to restringing an electric guitar. Now, it is not always going to be overly simple especially if you haven't done this before but in time you will get used to how it all works and will be able to do so with minimal fuss or effort. That can be so important for those who don't have a lot of knowledge of such things. However, you should restring carefully and slowly. There is no rush here and if you take your time, you're more likely to get things right. You can get your guitar kits in good shape once again. Check this site: melodicexchange.com

It's not even light out yet! (12/22). We're driving to SeaTac airport and the dogs would like to know what the fuck is up, where we are going and what it means for them! Feeding time was 2 hours early today and potty time was too close to form the perfect amount of poo and pee. You know we all like to have a sorta schedule for our good morning let's start the day right business. Well this early morning I'm on my way to a family Christmas and James is staying behind to watch the kids (yes, I am a little jealous.) I'm not a fan of holiday traveling, in fact, I avoid it as much as possible, and I really can't think of a time that I've done it. For me, as far as traveling goes, I can spend Thanksgiving weeks before to avoid the chaos, and love it just the same. Same goes for Christmas. It could be in May for all I care. Or whatever time you'd like. Don't get me wrong, I love the lights, the tree, the decorations and the cold weather. I love seeing the houses that are all decorated and sparkly. It's just the pressure. What to buy for who, because that who may be buying something for you. It's the pressure. And it's everywhere. Any store, street or tv commercial. It's everyone doing it at the same time.
So here I am, at the airport. I try my best to be patient with everything, (the only way to survive,) people are running late, people are juggling with their kids and employees are taking as many deep breaths as they can. So I take my own deep breaths and smile, wholeheartedly, because we all could use more honest smiles.
Boarding time!! Everybody on board, we pull from the gate and onto the runway. Annnndddd, there it is. "This is the captain speaking, (never fucking good) we've been informed that there is too much traffic flying into Jackson Hole and that we should be getting word in about 40 minutes if we are clear for take off." ✈ Sweet, not sweet. 👍🏻 Deep breath, shit happens. Thankfully, we were directed back to the gate after only about 10 minutes to deboard and that they would keep us updated. Seriously, not having to sit in that plane on the tarmac waiting made it more bearable! I had a beer. 🍺
Maybe 30 or so minutes later we get the ok to re board. Yes! Ready to go! Yes! Then 15 more minutes later we finally pull out. My morning has been too long already so it's time for me to turn on my quiet cruise control. I have my eyes closed, soft music on, wanting to sleep. I hear the planes engines rev, then slow down, then rev again. When will we fucking fly?!!
Wait, what's that?! We're on a slow roll again, now are we ready for takeoff? It has been almost 30 minutes since we've pulled away from the gate, the second time, and by now I'm leaning on the annoyed side. Maybe it's the screaming baby, or anxious child, or the fact that we are over 2 1/2 hours delayed. 😒 Or that my not wanting to fly over the holidays has been justified to be true. It's the pressure we put on ourselves. Then yay! We finally take off!
Flying alone in an isle seat while tired isn't much fun. I don't have James' shoulder to sleep on, or the window to lean against, but I manage to drift off. Then I wake up and see this,
across the isle from me, I do not know who they are but the fact that brother and sister are cuddled like this made my heart smile. Traveling to see family isn't so bad, but EVERYONE scrambling to get to everyone in the same time span, BAD!
This post is 4 days old, it's Christmas now and it's going to be fun and crazy and chaotic. Someone will get frustrated, someone will complain. Someone will, for no reason at all, stress themselves out which will have a trickle down effect. 🍷 Someone will forget to buy that damn ingredient and there's no store open and make themselves feel like they ruined everything! Kids will fucking cry and fight and drive us crazy!!! 🍷 Sometimes you cannot find a quiet corner to hide in for at least a minute, with that glass of wine. 🍷 And there will always, and I mean always, be that person that somehow manages to do the least of them all. All this will happen, I promise. And all these someone's that bring it, all of us, will throughout this day, smile and laugh. We will help each other with the food, and the cleaning and the keeping track of the kids. Seriously, where the fuck are the kids? We will all hug and kiss and say thank you. We will smile and laugh, The dinner will be great, even if it's come down to that frozen pizza.
So it's sometimes shitty getting there. It's stressful as fuck at times! And so amazing at times as well. But let's face it, we will all need a fucking vacation when we get home. 🍷 and quiet. Oh so, so much silence.
Most people won't get one damn second of this complete and utter chaos. So lets all be a little more dysfunctional and a little more loving for those that miss out. ❤ ❄ Gifts don't always come wrapped in a box.

|The process of approximating a number.
|The result of adding two or more numbers.
|whole numbers
|The whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ….
Key Concepts
1.1 - Introduction to Whole Numbers
- Name a whole number in words.
- Starting at the digit on the left, name the number in each period, followed by the period name. Do not include the period name for the ones.
- Use commas in the number to separate the periods.
- Use place value to write a whole number.
- Identify the words that indicate periods. (Remember the ones period is never named.)
- Draw three blanks to indicate the number of places needed in each period.
- Name the number in each period and place the digits in the correct place value position.
- Round a whole number to a specific place value.
- Locate the given place value. All digits to the left of that place value do not change.
- Underline the digit to the right of the given place value.
- Determine if this digit is greater than or equal to 5. If yes—add 1 to the digit in the given place value. If no—do not change the digit in the given place value.
- Replace all digits to the right of the given place value with zeros.
1.2 - Add Whole Numbers
• Addition Notation: To describe addition, we can use symbols and words.
|Read as
|3 + 4
|three plus four
|the sum of 3 and 4
- Identity Property of Addition: The sum of any number a and 0 is the number. $$\begin{split} a + 0 &= a \\ 0 + a &= a \end{split}$$
- Commutative Property of Addition: Changing the order of the addends a and b does not change their sum. $$a + b = b + a \ldotp$$
- Add whole numbers.
- Write the numbers so each place value lines up vertically.
- Add the digits in each place value. Work from right to left starting with the ones place. If a sum in a place value is more than 9, carry to the next place value.
- Continue adding each place value from right to left, adding each place value and carrying if needed.
1.3 - Subtract Whole Numbers
|Read as
|7 - 3
|seven minus three
|the difference of 7 and 3
- Subtract whole numbers.
- Write the numbers so each place value lines up vertically.
- Subtract the digits in each place value. Work from right to left starting with the ones place. If the digit on top is less than the digit below, borrow as needed.
- Continue subtracting each place value from right to left, borrowing if needed.
- Check by adding.
1.4 - Multiply Whole Numbers
|Read as
|3 × 8
|three times eight
|the product of 3 and 8
|3 • 8
- Multiplication Property of Zero: The product of any number and 0 is 0. $$\begin{split}a \cdot 0 &= 0 \\ 0 \cdot a &= 0 \end{split}$$
- Identity Property of Multiplication: The product of any number and 1 is the number. $$\begin{split} 1 \cdot a &= a \\ a \cdot 1 &= a \end{split}$$
- Commutative Property of Multiplication: Changing the order of the factors does not change their product. $$a \cdot b = b \cdot a \ldotp$$
- Multiply two whole numbers to find the product.
- Write the numbers so each place value lines up vertically.
- Multiply the digits in each place value.
- Work from right to left, starting with the ones place in the bottom number.
- Multiply the bottom number by the ones digit in the top number, then by the tens digit, and so on.
- If a product in a place value is more than 9, carry to the next place value.
- Write the partial products, lining up the digits in the place values with the numbers above. Repeat for the tens place in the bottom number, the hundreds place, and so on.
- Insert a zero as a placeholder with each additional partial product.
- Add the partial products.
1.5 - Divide Whole Numbers
|Read as
|12 ÷ 4
|Twelve divided by four
|the quotient of 12 and 4
|\(b \overline{) a}\)
|\(4 \overline{\smash{)}12}\)
|a / b
|12 / 4
- Division Properties of One:
- Any number (except 0) divided by itself is one. $$a \div a = 1$$
- Any number divided by one is the same number. $$a \div 1 = a$$
- Division Properties of Zero:
- Zero divided by any number is 0. $$0 \div a = 0 $$
- Dividing a number by zero is undefined. $$a \div 0 = undefined$$
- Divide whole numbers.
- Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. If the divisor is larger than the first digit of the dividend, divide the first two digits of the dividend by the divisor, and so on.
- Write the quotient above the dividend.
- Multiply the quotient by the divisor and write the product under the dividend.
- Subtract that product from the dividend.
- Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
- Repeat from Step 1 until there are no more digits in the dividend to bring down.
- Check by multiplying the quotient times the divisor.

famous hacker kevin mitnick's probation officer told him he can now do some approved, computer-related work. approved jobs include speaking on computer security, writing for an online magazine, and consulting on computer security and tech tv shows.
while mitnick is still prevented from leaving southern california, the changes in the limitations imposed on him by his probation officer are a major victory. when mitnick was released from prison in january of this year–after serving 5 years–he was under very strict rules that prevented him from having any contact with devices that could go online, including computers and cellphones. mitnick's probation officer made the rules even harsher by preventing him from writing about, working for companies involved with , or speaking publicly on computer technology issues. mitnick appealed the additional restrictions and a federal judge ordered the probation officer to consider individual offers instead of banning them all.
for a little more information, please see cnet. for more information on the probation officer's restrictions, see our previous news item.

this is great news for kevin and good news for the u.s. justice system. i remember being stunned by the obtuse nature of the the initial restrictions on mitnick and then flabbergasted when the probation officer told him he couldn't even speak on lecture circuits! as i mentioned in the news item i linked to above, mitnick was allowed to give testimony to the u.s. senate back in march, so why shouldn't he have been allowed to talk to other audiences? at last, a victory for common sense in the mitnick case.
i still think it's odd that the people who imposed the restrictions on mitnick thought it would be possible for him to stay away from computers, cellphones, web kiosks, and any "technology capable of online access." yes, those initial conditions of his plea bargain were set in 1995 when cellphone and wireless 'net access weren't much more than concepts in high-end design labs, but you'd think that when he was let out of jail in 2000 someone would've re-examined the terms of his agreement.
another thing this whole mitnick case points out is that legal systems around the world just aren't set up to deal adequately or effectively or justly with people accused of computer hacking/cracking crimes. another case in point is the guy in the philippines being scapegoated for the iloveyou virus. as cybercrime becomes more prevalent and global, authorities from all over the world really should figure out a consistent, effective set of laws so that individuals "caught in the act" can at least be assured a fair trial and outcome.

mitnick's salary (12:01pm est thu jul 13 2000)
i'm just wondering if there will be a bidding war between companies that want to get mitnick to work for them. my guess is his salary will be pretty high! – by chief geek
salary (12:57pm est thu jul 13 2000)
on one hand yes any company should be willing to pay mucho bux for his assistance, but my guess would be that he made more then a few enemies in the mainstream, simply because of all the publicity involved in the case. it would come down to who does the hiring, geeks or suits.
on a different point, can't he bring up a case against the goverment on the basis of them compleatly killing his ability to earn a living? libel? or something along those terms? – by shaper
kevin mitnick (1:46pm est thu jul 13 2000)
i've followed this case for a very long time, and this is just about the first time i've seen a little intelligence and common sense being used. my congratulations go out to mr. mitnick, along with my sincerest hope that he really has grown up as he claims he has.

he's on probation (1:55pm est thu jul 13 2000)
if he doesn't like the terms of his probation, he can just go back to jail. he's not allowed to complain about it, he's a convicted felon on parole. if he couldn't handle the punishment, he shouldn't have commited the crime. i say let him rot, guys like him give the rest of us a bad name. i also hate the idolization that surrounds him. he's a felon and should be treated as such. what was he doing with all that sun source code? hmmm.. maybe he was going to comb over it for security holes and use that information to break in to sun servers everywhere. he's a complete asshole and a whiney little baby to boot. he's been arrested 5 times on computer related crimes. i'd love to run into him so i could kick his crybaby little ass.
i hate to see criminals prosper from their crimes. i hope he doesn't make a dime. he should spend the rest of his life scrubbing floors in a small town white trash arbys, getting his ass kick by the other felons.
just because he figured out how to crack into machines doesn't make him a genius, a lot of people could figure it out, most don't because it's wrong. he got cought 5 times too, so he not even that good. – by mojojojo
geeks or suits (2:01pm est thu jul 13 2000)
as a geek i don't think i would have much use for him. the conditions of his probation preclude him from doing anything i could use. a security analysis by attacking the orginisation or configuring the firewall for instance. i also doubt he could accept a technical position at any capacity.
i wonder why kevin has not gone into sercurity consulting from a "human engineering" standpoint. he is the master of picking up the phone and getting the source code for a companies hottest projects. there is nothing in his probation agreement preventing him from doing that. you would think that any tech company would pay big bucks to minimize those risks. – by kuhndog
why do we sympathize? (2:01pm est thu jul 13 2000)
how can we sympathize with a man that's a convicted felon? well, it's easy to when you've committed several felonies yourself at a young age and never got caught. i'm not talking about anything violent, but cracking into systems and grabbing data, holding pirated versions of games and mp3 files, messing with people's credit cards and stamp vending machines. maybe they are not all felonies, but mitnick represented to many of us what could happen if we were unlucky and got cracked down on. even today, if i or many of my friends were watched closely enough and made examples of, we could face several years in jail. it's scary to be in america, and thus, we sympathize with mitnick. – by guess who
morons cry for mitnick (2:22pm est thu jul 13 2000)
tell me would you also be this simpethetic to a bank robber too? boo-hoo poor mitnick! please! a crime is a crime, and mitnick is no better than a thief. the only difference is that a real thief would have the balls to actually go in and rob you. mitnick cowers behind his little computer, and once that is taken away he can no longer commit crimes. i agree with sam that a system should be set up to deal with these computer criminals. about 10-15 years in a federal penitentiary. that seems pretty fair.
exception – in the middle east they would probably just cut your arms off, how about that policy for the us? – by james
he should get nothing and like it! (3:06pm est thu jul 13 2000)
i could *almost* have some sympathy for kevin except for the fact that he not only got off pretty easy the first time (or two) he was caught, but he continued to crack. he has already had a second chance and shouldn't be given any consideration.
– by jeremy
curiosity killed the mitnik. (3:24pm est thu jul 13 2000)
what was he going to do with the sun source code?
what any true geek would do. pour over it, inside and out.
curiosity is what makes a geek, and hackers have the highest level of curiosity of them all. what people don't realize, including james and mojojojo (see above), is that the punishment did not fit the crime. in the case of the convicted bank robber, would that individual be told that he could not enter a bank, use an atm, or even open a checking account? no.
ignorance and money is what fuels the attack against hackers. corporations want the public to be completely ignorant of everything to do with their product except where to send the payment. just because kevin took the source for sun's os does not mean that he would use any security holes that he found. the constant threat of a break-in forces companies to re-think and re-wire their security systems.
any programmer knows that it is easier for a friend to find a logic flaw than it is to find it yourself. that is because of simple detachment. when you have looked over the same piece of code 5000 times, it becomes difficult to see the holes.
look, i'm not saying that kevin mitnik did nothing wrong. what i'm saying is that the ignorance of judges, lawyers, and the justice system in general has been exploited by corporations in an effort to quelch the voices of those who may have something bad or controversial to say that may hurt their revenue. – by syngod
bad analogy … (3:33pm est thu jul 13 2000)
comparing mitnik's restrictions to a convicted (and paroled) bank robber not being allowed into a bank is not the correct analogy.
mitnik is not being allowed access to the tools he uses to commit crimes just as other parolees are not allowed access to firearms. thus making it more difficult to repeat offend. the punishment is resonable until he has completely served his time (i.e. is off parole).
– by oz
right on (3:42pm est thu jul 13 2000)
the media has done so much to demonize mitnick that the views of james and mojo are becoming the dominant mainstream thinking paradighm. anyone who regards him as a low life criminal should sit down and read the fugitive game by jon littman, which follows the mitnick case from begining to end. this book shows exactly how over-hyped all the alegation brought aainst mitnick were. – by shaper
he was just curious? (3:56pm est thu jul 13 2000)
yeah right. he had already wreaked havok on pacbell's phone system. including breaking into the building to cause more damage. digital had to spend inordiante amounts of time and money to keep him out of their vms source code and they couldn't track him because of his manipulation of the phone system. now what was he going to do with all that os souorce code? you don't think he was going to do anything destructive with it? he wasn't going to find some holes and use it to break into other systems? was he just curious about the phone system? he certainly did a lot of illegal things with it. and he wants us to believe that he was just curious about oss and wasn't going to do anything harmful? that's a big load of crap. if he wanted to learn about oss, why didn't he buy a book or take a class like the rest of us? he's just a pathetic little creep. i hope they raped him in prison. – by mojojojo
mis-information (4:45pm est thu jul 13 2000)
mojo the occurances with pacbell was not mitnick but the "other kevin" as he is commonly refered to, kevin poulsen. poulsen unlike mitnik was a complete criminal, unbelivably smart, but a criminal nontheless. read up on the people your commenting on, mojo.
as far as "taking a clash" or "reading a book like the rest of us" that is just plain ridiculous. i think everyone here knows that manuals and classes will only take so far, sometimes you have to take it past that. that includes decompiling, craking, reverse engeneering…what ever it takes to learn more.
just because a big majority crackers today are juvinile deviants it dosent mean you have to perpetuate that same steriotype on everyone.
read about what mitnick was able to do, read about phiber optic and captain crunch. these people define the word geek by going beyond what they were alowed to do not in search of profit but to gain knowledge.
btw it is very easy to condemn someone, it is harder to understand what drives them. – by shaper
conspiracy (5:04pm est thu jul 13 2000)
i don't care what drove mitnick to commit those crimes (and yes they were crimes which cost people money). don't try to defend this sort of stuff by saying 'oh he was after knowledge, not profit' or 'hey those big corporations can afford lose money'. these are absurd arguments. you may or may not agree with certain laws in this country, but you still have to obey them. mitnick committed a crime and is being punished for it – period. to the legal system and to me a crime is just that, no matter your motives behind it and you should face the consequences of your actions. – by john

"i don't care what drove mitnick to commit those crimes (and yes they were crimes which cost people money)…these are absurd arguments.you may or may not agree with certain laws in this country, but you still have to obey them"
john, under those assumption you are also condeming martin luther king jr, ghandi and anyone else that was part of the civil disobediance movement of the sixties. life is not black and white john, it's shades of gray.
john if the legal system was run the way you are assuming it is there would be no room for things like self deffense. there is a reason for amendments and reversals of law. aditionally annoyed and comparms are both right in saying that the punishment in no way fit the crime – by shaper
what to do what to do… (7:28pm est thu jul 13 2000)
hacking, cracking, and phreaking are definatly not a joke. imagine the united states of america, one of the most powerfull countries in the world suddenly with out communication… power… trains… the internet… and most importantly banks. they economy whould sink like lead, there would be rioting, rape, pilage and burning (eat babies). and all of this could be childs play for someone with the knowlage of the systems. i myself like to do a little prying now and then… and initialy i supported mitnick. but for all you "hackers" out there, whould you still support him if he knocked out your phones? and then your internet? and then your power? and then suddenly all you bank accounts are worthless??? i thought not. – by thinker
i might (10:36pm est thu jul 13 2000)
if i found out that the phone company, my isp, the power company, and the bank all had glaring security holes, i might support him. yes, i know it's wrong to break into a companies computers even if they aren't secured, but wouldn't you rather have the companies secure them against all possible intrusions rather than just assume no one will try to break in? you do put locks on your doors, don't you? why, because you want to secure your home against possible instrusion. sure, if someone wants in, they'll get in, but at least you've secured your home as best you could to prevent them from getting in in the first place.
btw, the us of a has a lot of very insecure systems that could easily be targetted in the event of war by cyber terrorists (aka hackers). i can't name specific systems, but this is something our government has started to take seriously since the possibility of an attack of that nature has gone up dramatically in the past few years. from what i understand, we even used cyberwarfare on yugoslavia to keep some of their systems down. would you now call the us government felons? or would you say that the slavs should get their systems fixed and secured. i'd say the latter. – by yoda

no really, mitnick is just a toss – by mitnickisatoss
call it justice??? (11:42pm est thu jul 13 2000)
as someone above said, violent criminals get treated substantially better. he deserved punishment, but it should have been kept in proportion to other crimes. his big mistake was to piss off the power structure. if he waited till the web was born and had picked on the poor and middle class, lets say by snooping on their phone and data lines for credit card info the feds would have ignored him like they do most crime. moral of the story, money = power = "justice". – by rara
you are right! (12:27am est fri jul 14 2000)
violent offenders do get off too easily. murders should get automatic capital punishment. and none of that legal injection garbage, i want the see damn electric chair. ever see the green mile? that so called mishap execution in the movie is the way all executions should be conducted. as for rapists, castration should be the punishment for this horrendous crime. 15 years doesn't seem like much now, huh? now is everything fair?
btw – sharper how dare you compare worthless garbage like mitnick to martin luther king and gandhi? sounds like someone is not being rational. – by james
tools (12:40am est fri jul 14 2000)
"should forgers and bad check writers not be able to use pens?" – computerarms
no just the ability to write checks. there is no way but to ban mitnick from any sort of connected computer in order to stop him from committing crimes. i think he proved that by repeating his offenses.
for those who are supporting mitnick, i think you will find you are in the minority of those who are supporting him. the mainstream people of the us would probably agree with the government's punishment for him. just because you say so doesn't give any proof to that you are right. where are the logical arguments (only arguments that work in a court of law) for this kind of support? – by randy
about kevin… (10:40am est fri jul 14 2000)
for all you kevin-haters here…
here�s an uncommonly insightful post about kevin on slashdot by billy donahue…
kevin is not on parole, and he is not on probabation..
he's on what's called supervised release… right now, he's supposed to be a free man. this is not supposed to be a punitive condition.
these restrictions are placed on him under a rule that allows for occupational restrictions on felons when necessary to protect the public.
parole is when you haven't done all of your time in the joint, and they let you out early.
probation is a sentence in itself. he was sentenced to time served and 6 months or so…
he did every day of his sentence in jail.
let's talk about inalienable rights for a minute:
the right to a speedy trial:
how about 4 years without a trial…
the right to review the evidence against you:
cruel and unusual punishment:
1 year of solitary confinement is torture and a human rights violation…
this nonviolent and reformed man was placed in solitary confinement for a straight year, and treated like the most violent criminals are. he was forced to plead guilty when it became clear that the government was going to great lengths to conspire to deny him a fair trial.
you don't put "rights" in quotes. that's what they are… "rights".. when you say inalienable, that means that they cannot be separated from you.
you obviously have no idea about this case or about law, so i guess the moderators were on crack when they kicked this up to a 4.

boo hoo (2:03pm est fri jul 14 2000)
i'm sick of all this talk about how unfair mitnick's punishment is. he repeatedly broke the law and that's all there is to it. i don't care if he ever finds a job in this country for the rest of his life. it would be nice if we could all just forgive and forget but that's not how this world works; especially the business world. maybe we should give him a second chance, but then again, how many times was he arrested? also, remember mitnick got himself into this mess, he didn't have to break the law. i have no sympathy. – by thelaw
about kevin (5:06pm est fri jul 14 2000)
it is true that kevin broke the law, but the damage he caused was miniscule, and his punishment stands in no proportion whatsoever to his crime. rapists and murderers often get off far easier than he did.
he had to suffer a miscarriage of justice, because the govt decided to set him as an example for other crackers.
kevin may have done the crime, but he has done his time (far more than any other similar crime would have got him – it was really like a misdemeanor), but the govt still won�t let him alone. – by dervak

if someone rapes enough times he will be in prision for life. if someone speeds enough times their license is taken away. mitnick is a repeat offender – get that through your heads! he has shown several times he can't be trusted, so this is what has to be done. how many chances should a person get? i personally think that some of you people are supporting mitnick because you also have done some things you shouldn't have and now feel that what happened mitnick could have also happened to you. well if that is the case, i hope you also get locked up like mitnick did. – by james

Am not a big fan too but I admit it is one of the best usable luxury cars in the world, I mean something above the BMW and Mercedes..
And I drove the car couple of times.. It nice to drive, but if you're tiny and kinda short.. DONT
I'd prefer a BMW 760 to this in all honesty..!! Much more unique <3ReplyDelete
Rummy : you can't compare a two doors car to a four door sedan!ReplyDelete
BMW still have nothing to compete in this category exept the M6 which is again not in the same level of luxury, but more powerful.

I had the same problem too. I had to save them using a different program -- gimp -- before I could see them properly.Eudaemonium said:
I had an issue where I converted some JPGs to BMPs using the Mac's default Preview program and it didn't convert them properly. Wonder if it was something similar. I just got pure-black portraits, though, rather than the question mark. I've only seen the latter once with Neera when she glitched out and crashed my game.

Brits are earning £1000s by taking part in clinical trials. - 7 things you should know
Would you like to earn some money from home and do good at the same time? If yes, then clinical trials might be for you. Participants are compensated very generously and, no, it is not as scary as it sounds. However, there are a few things you should know before signing up. We're answering the FAQ:
"What are the pros and cons of taking part in clinical trials?"
All reputable research laboratories agree that the main motivation for taking part in medical studies should not be personal gain. The reward that is paid at the end is paid as compensation for the time spent in hospital while subjects are being examined. Either way, the amounts can be more than £3500 plus travel expenses.
On the other hand, the main concern of the volunteers is the possibility of risks involved when taking part in clinical trials. Regarding this, you should keep in mind that all potential participants must be given all relevant information so they can make an informed decision. Clinical trials are strictly regulated by the MHRA (the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) and need to be approved by an ethics committee, so participants are always protected. You will be able to leave the trial at any time. However, there are no trials that are suitable for the needle-phobic. You will have to undergo extensive testing, such as giving blood.
"How much money can I get for taking part in Clinical trials?"
The financial compensation can be very high, especially compared to taking up a side job, but you should not only be in it for the money. Clinical trials are mainly about advancing medical research and helping people in need. The amount of money that is paid to participants is depending on the study. It can be anything from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand, but it is solely paid as compensation for the time spent at the research facility and not for the medical test itself.
"Why is there a need for medical testing? "
There is a huge number of approved medicines out there that work as treatments against all sorts of diseases, but improving medication and developing new drugs is still essential. Researchers at University hospitals and pharmaceutical companies invest billions in the development of new drugs. Before these new drugs can be marketed and sold in the UK, they have to be tested thoroughly. The vast majority of those that take part in clinical trials are NHS patients that are testing a new or alternative drug for their specific condition. For other trials, healthy people are needed to find out if a treatment causes any undesirable side effects. The whole process is strictly regulated and only drugs that have successfully passed all previous stages of testing and development will be tested on humans.
Trialist.co.uk is currently accepting volunteers!
The most important thing to keep in mind is to only sign up with a trustworthy company. Trialist.co.uk is one of the leaders in this field in the UK. The site helps people interested in taking part in medical research by getting them in touch with hospitals and Universities that are currently looking for participants. This way, healthcare staff can focus on their main job, which is research and caring for patients. You will be able to withdraw anytime if you change your mind!
"What are the next steps after signing up?"
After signing up, you will be part of the database of research institutions. They will approach you when searching for participants with your characteristics (age, sex, smoker/non-smoker, availability, etc) for an upcoming study. Of course, you can refuse invitations or even have your name taken off the list if you change your mind later on.
"Can I take part more than once?"
Yes, you can take part in multiple clinical trials. You should take a break of a few months between them though. Depending on the study, you might be required to take a break of about 6 months before starting another trial.
Medical trials are especially suitable for people who are very flexible. A lot of the participants are stay-at-home mums, students, or retired people.
Consider the alternatives
Getting pricked in the arm is not your thing? There are other ways of making easy money from the comfort of your own home. Why not take part in online surveys? They might not pay as well, but the risk is 0!

We see a trailer. Maybe, we think to ourselves, it's just a trailer promising a movie that doesn't and will never exist?Nope. It's all there.Surprised? Everyone is, because, as The New York Times reports, it was "kept a secret for months — no small task in Hollywood." The timing, by the way, was totally intentional, with the movie "released to coincide with Mr. Trump's victory on Tuesday in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary."Consider, for a moment, how it went unleaked that a cast comprised of Depp, Jack McBrayer, Patton Oswalt, Alfred Molina, Henry Winkler, Andy Richter, Jacob Tremblay and Michaela Watkins were working on a secret Trump movie.It was owed, in addition to a sprinkling of non-disclosure agreements, to Funny or Die "begg[ing] people not to say anything," as editor in chief Owen Burke described to the Times.Titled Art of the Deal, the movie, as Ron Howard explains in the intro before blowing on a videocassette and popping it into the VHS machine, is a long-lost film based on Trump's book of the same name. "Thought to be lost in the Cybill Shepherd blouse fire of 1989," the made-for-TV movie was "almost never seen. It was preempted by Monday night football in 1988. Crappy game too. Colts vs. Browns, every score was a safety. Browns won 4-2. Trump was furious and vowed never to air his masterpiece. It disappeared for decades until last summer."You can see the whole thing here. We must warn you about the wave of '80s nostalgia you'll be hit with, down to the theme song created by Kenny Loggins, who contributed to the Footloose and Caddyshack soundtracks, among others.

Synopsis: Jenna Kingsley has a gift. She knows things. With a simple touch she can pick up personal information from jewelry or objects. While at a neighbor's party, a voice mesmerizes her. Jenna is momentarily frozen as a ring is placed in her hand. White electricity surges through her and a dire prediction is made. "It's like Romeo and Juliet. You're going to break my heart."
From the moment they meet Jenna is enchanted and entranced with Reece Walton. She's thrilled to learn he's spending the summer two houses away from hers. Every moment they spend together is magical. But she can't get the prediction out of her mind. As the summer draws to a close and secrets are revealed, can Jenna get past the fear of being left with a broken heart to live in the prophecy?
Thoughts: Heart Waves doesn't waste any time getting right into the story and I like that about a book. It's books like this where I instantly fall in love with the romance and all the characters. Once I started this book, I totally fell in love with it and read it so quickly. It's full of amazing romance, awesome friends, secrets, and real life.
There's so much more I want to know about both Jenna and Reece. Jenna has powers... she can touch an object and feel its energy, know things about the person who holds the object. As the story delves on it seems Jenna is only getting stronger, but I feel as if we only have scratched the surface with her. The same goes for her love, Reece. I loved Reece right away. He's sweet, caring, and protective. Yet I couldn't help but keep feeling he's hiding something. That just may be another reason why I like him because he has secrets and I'm always drawn to my tormented, secretive boys.
The ending... though good and sweet... still left me wanting more. I want to learn more about Reece's friend Tyler. I want to learn more about Jenna. And, mostly I want to see where Jenna and Reece's relationship goes. I'm only hoping for the best... but you never know. Definitely loved this book and cannot wait to dive into the second one!

Climate Corps 2010: A Search for Leaks Lands Savvis $6M in Savings
EDF Climate Corps
Climate Corps 2010: A Search for Leaks Lands Savvis $6M in Savings
Earlier this summer, I began my work as an EDF Climate Corps fellow at Savvis where I was charged with finding energy efficient solutions for the company's data centers. Now I stand here, two months later, still asking myself the same question I had when I first shook my manager's hand: "How is a young guy like me, with no experience in data centers, going to help?"
Savvis is an IT solutions provider. Its capability features a global network with 31 data centers, totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet, in North America, Europe and Asia. Savvis' model practices, automated management and provisioning systems have helped it secure 4,000 business and government customers, and rank as a leader in Gartner's 2010 magic quadrant.
I was well aware of these impressive facts when I was first hired, and I understood how much effort Savvis was devoting to energy efficiency. I spent hours asking questions and deciphering, little by little, the language of HVAC systems and airflow management. This is an extremely complex topic involving thermodynamics, meteorology, fluid dynamics and mechanics. It was obvious that three months of work, and a little experience in fluid mechanics, would not be enough to reinvent the wheel at this company.
My Search for Leaks
Despite my lack of experience and knowledge, I pushed my doubts aside and stepped into one of the data centers. I walked into a low lit, cold, white space vibrating with the murmur of the servers running and the blast of the AC. I was surprised when I entered a clearing in this forest of racks. A blast of cold air was blowing hard on me. What was this airflow doing here so far from any servers?
This initial observation triggered my search for "leaks." These leaks, I figured, are like the cars that a car manufacturer produces and cannot sell. They are wealth that has been transformed through an expensive process and is wasted with no use. Processes are never 100 percent efficient, but I wanted to understand how inefficient this one was. And I found the opportunities I was looking for: $6 million in savings per year.
My initial question: "Why had this gold mine not been found before?"
The answer: It has been found ... many times.
Exploitation had been tried many times too, but there were barriers in the actions required to keep mining this gold. These actions are:
• Strenuous
• Repetitive
• Impactful to many stakeholders
• Difficult to track
• Insignificant to sales
A Transformation of the Colocation Industry
The colocation industry is beginning to experience an interesting transformation, similar to one that occurred in the airline industry with the emergence of Southwest Airlines' sustainability initiatives. In the past, the focus of the airline industry had simply been safety and service, a mentality that trickles down to shape every aspect of its operations. Now, Southwest Airlines has added environmental stewardship to its lists of priorities, and as a result, we're seeing a movement that is slowly transforming the airline industry.
Similarly, this attention to energy efficiency is now driving IT companies to readjust their priorities. Those who will be able to shape their operations to focus on data center efficiency have the potential to become leaders for innovation in their respective industry.
After much brainstorming, I now know how I helped: I told a data center company to follow the path that an airline had paved its industry, and apply it to the IT world. The result? I helped Saavis uncover annual savings of $6 million.

The newly-discovered plant can provide more insight into the evolution of non-photosynthetic plants
Non-photosynthetic plants have long been a topic of scientific interest. But the biggest problem is that these plants are extremely rare and come in very small size. In addition, they are found in the dark understory of forest, which makes it even more difficult to access.
Recently, a researcher from Kobe University came across one such species of plant while documenting non photosynthetic or mycoheterotrophic plants in Kuroshima, Japan. By analyzing a specimen, researcher found that it was indeed a completely new species. Further investigation revealed that the plant is extremely unusual. The new plant species, named G. kuroshimensis, is totally mycoheterotrophi, meaning it does not get its nutrients from photosynthesis or by converting the sunlight into food as many other plants does. Instead, it relies on its host fungi for fulfilling its needs. Moreover, it produces flowers that never bloom, which is a sign of a cleistogamous plant.
Plant discovered that neither photosynthesizes nor blooms @tugutuguk @Phytotaxa Press release here >> https://t.co/IAwab6CPdu #KobeU pic.twitter.com/t7rOaeJmot— Kobe University (@KobeU_Global) October 14, 2016
Cleistogamy refers to a reproductive mechanism that promotes self-pollination which results in the failure of the flowers to open.
"Cleistogamous flowers are considered a bet-hedging strategy, since they require less resources than chasmogamous flowers and because they can provide reproductive assurance by setting seeds in the absence of pollinators and under disadvantageous environmental conditions." Researcher Kenji Suetsugu wrote.
However, the evolution of cleistogamous flowers is still a mystery, mainly because of the limited availability of these plants. The discovery of G. kuroshimensis, therefore, provides a great opportunity to understand the evolutionary history of complete cleistogamy and genetic mechanisms underlying its evolution.

Teaching children to "Divide Money Into Three Parts"
When children receive pocket money or laisee, they are likely to want to spend it immediately. This shows that they do not understand the concept of money allocation.
Parents can teach their children to "Divide Money Into Three Parts" to learn the concepts of "Save", "Spend" and "Share".
|The importance of "Save", "Spend" and "Share"
|To learn about the importance of saving, ask your children what they want to buy and have them put aside some of the pocket money to save up for their goal.
|Saving should come before spending. After setting aside some money to save, work out with your children the necessary expenditures and let them buy what they want with the remaining pocket money.
Develop empathy in children by making them aware that there many in the world who are less fortunate them who are threatened by warfare, starvation, poverty and various suffering.
Encourage children to kids to put aside some pocket money for donations, or they can also help the needy through volunteer work or donation of secondhand items. Learn about the background of the organisation which benefits from the donation.
"Dividing Money Into Three Parts" does not mean that children must divide their pocket money into three equal parts. Rather, they should be encouraged to allocate the money and adjust the portions according to their ages and expenditure needs.
By doing so, children can learn how to use their money more effectively and set aside budgets so that later they can learn to treasure and share their wealth.

Ham Radio Antenna Pictures
Sunday, September 17, 2006, 07:51 PM - Ham RadioI've had my HF Ham Radio station set up now for a couple months. The radios for HF, VHF and UHF (pictured below) are connected to antennas I have put on the roof of my apartment building. The Pictures are here. Basically, an 80 meter L-shaped dipole antennas has been stretched between 3 10-foot-tall steel corrugated masts. Each mast is attached to an angle-iron welded steel frame made to hold 8 (each) concrete blocks to hold it down in a storm without actually physically attaching it to the building. Pretty cool, huh?
(Click here for larger image)
The actual radio equipment includes a Kenwood TS-570d HF Transceiver connected to a 150 foot length of Times-Microwave LMR-400 Coax via an LDG AT-100 Pro Automatic Antenna Tuner. For VHF/UHF operation, there's an Icom dual-band rig connected to that colinear in the pictures.

Field Day!
Friday, June 23, 2006, 09:46 AM - Ham Radio, WalkingEvery year on or about the last weekend of June, Ham Radio Operators all over the world operate around the clock from their backyards or mountaintops or anywhere else out of the way in a great big contest to see how many of each of us we can talk to!
This year's field day brings me out to Fenton Lake near Cuba, New Mexico with a bunch of guys I've never met. It'll be somewhere between Amazingly Fantastic and Deliverance, hopefully closer to the former. :o)
I'll be back among the contactable on Sunday afternoon.
If not, Stephanie KC6VIT should know how to find me.

We offer great rates for Group Dental Insurance
Florida Group Dental Insurance can put a good looking, healthy smile on the face of your employees and their families. There are many different plans and options to help employers make their health coverage complete, and Van Lierop Insurance Services, Inc. can assist you in finding the right coverage.
Several types of dental insurance plans are available and Van Lierop Insurance Services, Inc. will be happy to help you determine which is best for you.
Group Dental Insurance in Florida
A DMO (dental maintenance organization) is a plan in which a dentist is selected within the plan's network. DMO plans are usually the least expensive but do have restrictions.
The PPO (preferred provider organization) plan usually provides a lower cost as long as the chosen dentist is within the network. Going to a provider outside the network will be more costly. The most flexible plan is Dental Indemnity. This plan allows visits to any provider without referral but most plans only cover up to a specific amount.
Dental care is more popular now than ever before because people are more conscious about having great looking healthy teeth. We can help supplement health insurance policies with the dental plans to meet the needs of your employees and their families in Blountstown, Florida including the Apalachicola, Bristol, Cottondale, Mexico Beach, and Wewahitchka areas. .

How many times have you see cops driving around without their seat belts on?
Can you even count how many times you have seen them speed by you for no apparent reason?
Those little black boxes that law enforcement and insurance outfits love so much in newer cars are now going to start ratting out cops with bad habits, in real time.
Ford's newest line of police cruisers are designed to catch bad guys on both sides of the law.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement — designed by the automaker and California software firm Telogisis — is built into the company's latest line of law enforcement Taurus and Explorer Interceptors, and tracks when officers bend the rules of the road while policing it.
The system tracks a swath of data about the driving habits of girls and boys in blue, including when the siren and lights are activated, driving speed compared to the limit, sudden braking, acceleration, spin-outs and anti-lock brake engagement. Telematics for Law Enforcement transmits the data in real-time, and has already been outfitted on 50 Los Angeles police cruisers.
"From a business standpoint, these are expensive vehicles with expensive employees driving them," former L.A. Country sheriff and Washington State University Professor Bryan Vila said in a Wednesday Wired report. "When they crash, they're also more likely to kill bystanders and civilians, so there's a public safety side. I've been looking forward to seeing the LAPD implementing this."
The system also knows when officers are using their seat belts and when their airbags have deployed in a crash, alerting dispatchers to send assistance. Ford's new features are expected to encourage safer and more responsible driving among officers, who regularly skip wearing seatbelts because it gets in the way of other gear, and can slow them down when they need to exit vehicles fast, according to the report.
Ford has yet to disclose a price for the system, which should be widely available next year.
I was a Ford factory trained mechanic back in the 90's and I saw this kind of crap coming clear back when they were first designing it.
People have no clue just how advanced the electronics are in new cars.
It's a fact that a 1985 Mustang had more computing power on board than the Lunar Module that landed on the moon.
When I quit working on cars for a living clear back in 1999, the new Lincoln models that year had 11 computers on board that all talked to each other at the same time through one wire.
It's called Multiplexing and that was clear back then.
Just try and imagine what those rotten bastards could do now if they didn't have any restraints put on them.
Driverless cars are a reality right now.
It just cracks me up though that all these arrogant pricks are going to find out just where on the food chain they really are.
Click it or ticket, bitches!

The Culture of Coffee Drinkers
Scientific American:
The idea of the morning person aside, morning commuters seem to fall into one of two categories: the Caffeinated and the Un-caffeinated—the latter category being those who intend to consume coffee, but haven't quite gotten their morning java yet. And they're easily recognizable as such. The Caffeinated are bright-eyed and engaged with the day's events already—they're reading their morning papers, or checking email, or reading for pleasure. They're sometimes armed with travel mugs or Ventis from their coffee shop of choice. They rattle the ice in the clear plastic beverage cups from mobile vendors on summer days. They walk a little faster in the early hours having long left last night behind.
This is not the case for the Un-Caffeinated. This group sleeps through the AM commute both on the commuter trains and the subway.They're bleary eyed. Materials they intended to review lie unattended in their laps while they linger in the previous night. They walk more slowly up the stairs and are more irritable when you hurry them along—or hurry by them. They stroll, they trudge, they linger.
The line that runs out the door of the Starbucks across from my job never seems to shrink. Are the ranks of the Caffeinated growing? Will we soon be overrun by manufactured "morning people"? As the would-be Caffeinated stumble toward their favorite dispensaries, they have little sense of how they have been drawn to coffee-drinking. The categories of Caffeinated and Un-caffeinated are introduced in this discussion for ethnographic purposes. Though they exist in my mind, they may seem familiar to you because we're taught to look for these traits in connection with coffee. So though I may have taken some liberties in simplifying them, these identities and associations have been honed by the coffee industry over the last thirty years. The culture of coffee has been carefully cultivated to ensure maximum reach.

verb: preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone) continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent
If I have to be honest, I have obsessions. I'm an obsessor. I obsess. There, I said it. Admitting it is the first step towards real change. I obsess over all kinds of things…next year's Christmas cards, what flowers to plant in the front yard, what to wear to that thing in a few weeks. I obsess over decorative pillows and what to make for dinner before I eat breakfast. But right now I'm obsessed with a certain soundtrack that I keep listening to. And I'm obsessed with my new cardigan. I'm completely obsessed with Nancy Myers movies. And there are more than a couple of books that I've read multiple times, obsessively. Yes, I think too much! And when I really like something I dive in to it, over and over and over again.
I'm preoccupied. My mind is always full, continually and intrusively, about the most mundane and minute details of my life, my children's lives and just about everyone and everything around me. Maybe it's OCD. Obsessive Cristi Dysfunction? However, while it might make me anxious it does not make me dysfunctional. Quite the opposite. I am very functional. Actually very much a perfectionist. "Practically Perfect" I like to say, (which I think I stole from Mary Poppins). Obsessive Cristi Disease? Perhaps I was born with it. Or I contracted it in my youth. If it's a disease then there is probably a pill I can take for it. Obsessive Cristi Disorder? Disorder alludes confusion. I am not confused, nor do I live in a confused state. I'm all about certainty and order. That's for sure…
Sometimes it's interesting to take a step back and see yourself honestly, warts and all. While it shifts your perception, it also makes you wonder, "Holy Hell! What do others think of me?" But I don't want to look through the eyes of anyone else. It really doesn't matter how anyone else sees me, only how I see myself. And I'm not sure I want to change my obsessiveness. My mind is filled, but it's no trouble, and I kind of like that about myself.
"Cure for an obsession: get another one."
