Too bad the article is light on technical details of how he implemented it.
It doesn't look very precise either...

« on: August 16, 2008, 12:23:45 am »Why do you think it was a homeless person that stole your iPod?Because in New Mexico, there are two kinds of people--honest, hardwork, Republicans, and those dirty, illegal, scumbag, homeless Mexicans.
Quoted for truth.

Furthermore, if the soldier refused, the sergeant wouldn't have the right to carve it out himself, since a soldier can quit the army at any time. It's really simple -- once you quit, he no longer has any power over you.
I do believe you're woefully misinformed.
When I said its "not a threat" I was meaning that the Sgt. isn't going to actually carve the tattoo out himself. He will seek the proper channels and get it taken care of. This language is common in military culture and is pretty much "You're going to do X, you can either do it the easy way or the hard way"
You can't just "quit" the military either. Sure you could "walk away" but thats punishable by death...

« on: August 05, 2008, 07:11:36 pm »that sergeant was definitely out of line, threatening someone like that. your friend could have brought the issue to someone of higher rank, or at worst the court.
though of course there are drawbacks to pissing off your superior officer, probably would have to ask for a transfer after that lol.
You can't have tattoos in visible locations (the actual regulations are a bit more specific but thats the jist). That also doesn't qualify as a "threat."

Umm, I don't even see how this is news. Its basically common knowledge that the government itself is not bound to the laws of the land.

« on: August 02, 2008, 11:55:38 pm »mmm I didn't remove the video card. I mean if it didn't work from the video card but it did work from the integrated video card, doesn't that mean my actual video card is blown?
Nope. Try going into the BIOS and seeing if you can see the dedicated card. If you can try disabling the integrated card and see if the dedicated card works again.

Err... no.
Did you actually remove the video card before testing on the integrated one?
Chances are the integrated one just ended up selected somehow so its the only one outputing video..

I got my soldering iron finally and was able to remove a transistor from the push-to-talk circuit on my repeater. Now I just have to write better software for controlling it, woohoo!

BTW, I wasn't trying to bash your decision or anything. You're free to laugh in my face when you get that nice 30K+ reenlistment bonus in 4 years...
I had a lot of friends in high school who joined the Marines right after it (and several going to the Naval Academy with the possibility of being Marines), they're all still alive and kicking although some of them have 'mixed' feelings on the decision.
Anyways, best of luck!

Keep trying zorm! I act like that but girls don't think I like them (I think... I'm bad at reading women). You should be fine... show more interest in her than he does. The indirect method works pretty well too. Just ignore her and see what happens. Draw her to you!
Sorry my first attempt at story telling didn't go well, I'll include all the details and you can rerank it.
So we were drinking at her place and I was laying on the floor. She decided it looked like fun to stand on me and I susquently 'tackled' her to the floor. At this point shes basically cuddling me, but then Sir. Douchebag has to go and pull her away.
Did I mention hes pretty much a state cop?
On a personal level, I'm considering buying a 15" MacBook Pro (discounted 30% at macmall.com for a 15" 2.4 GHz 2GB 160GB HD 256MB DDR3 VRAM model) and sticking Vista on it. I dunno, though.
Get a Dell... or a Thinkpad, no reason to get a MacBook just to stick Vista on it!
