There’s no paradox if you look at it as a social contract. If you don’t uphold your part of the contract (tolerating others) then you aren’t entitled to benefits from the contract (being tolerated by others).

Technically, that’s a space elevator.

Which is a real thing in canon. Bajor’s application was put in jeopardy when they briefly reinstated a caste system, which violated Federation equality rules.

Wouldn’t that technically be a French thing?

His scene with Worf where he reveals that he’s Alexander from the future is one if the greatest scenes in ALL Trek.

The neutral look is easiest. Odo uses it because it’s the best he can do. The Founders use it because they’re lazy.

Strips cut through forested areas like this are generally called fire breaks. I don’t know if there’s a more specific term for those beneath power lines.

As its name suggests, LogoFAIL involves logos, specifically those of the hardware seller that are displayed on the device screen early in the boot process, while the UEFI is still running. Image parsers in UEFIs from all three major IBVs are riddled with roughly a dozen critical vulnerabilities that have gone unnoticed until now. By replacing the legitimate logo images with identical-looking ones that have been specially crafted to exploit these bugs, LogoFAIL makes it possible to execute malicious code at the most sensitive stage of the boot process, which is known as DXE, short for Driver Execution Environment.

So, does disabling the boot logo prevent the attack, or would it only make the attack obvious?

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

Usually you can, though the setting might be listed under something like “show diagnostic during boot”.

I was 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. Fell asleep before the end.

Greetings

What opened your eyes to what's happening in Palestine?

We’re a group of activists in a Western country where most have been brought up with either “Israel = good, Hamas = bad” or “It’s a sad, but unsolvable conflict between two equal sides”. The media heavily skewed to the Israeli perspective, and our politicians want to condemn protests in support of Palestinians....

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

The sheer number of people, organizations, and national institutions that fell over each other in scrambling to support Israel/condemn Hammas set off my bullshit detector.

I’m still not taking sides, but the pro-Israel blitzkrieg is so over the top that I don’t accept it at face value. Someone’s trying to sell me something.

This sort of empty, emotionally charged BS is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s a weak and childish form of rhetoric, and if that’s the best you’ve got then perhaps you should ask yourself why that is.

The actor who played Garak is on record saying that he played the character as bi, with a crush on Bashir.

Violence, by definition, is an unjustified use of force. If a use of force is justified then it isn’t violence.

For example, suppose you’re walking across a bridge and you see someone about to jump to their death. So you run over, pull them back from the brink, knock them down, and sit on them. Have you committed an act of violence? I would say not.

On the other hand, suppose the person is just standing on a street corner waiting for the light to change. If you run over, pull them back from the curb, knock them down, and sit on them, that would in fact be an act of violence.

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

That’s just a rhetorical device. I’m not suggesting that word definitions are prescriptive.

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

I’m the one defining violence here.

charonn0,
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

The OP is a prompt as to the nature of violence.

This is why I appreciate the scene in Undiscovered Country where Kronos One glides into view, seeming to align itself to the Enterprise’s orientation.

With 10 days to go, House Republicans remain undecided on best strategy to avert shutdown (www.cnn.com)

House Republicans have yet to coalesce around their own plan to avert a government shutdown with just 10 days until the deadline, raising the stakes for a new speaker who will have to contend with the internal dynamics of his conference and a Democratically-controlled Senate and White House....

Republicans can’t govern, exhibit
