_Goblin...Jan 31 00:24
rnboops, sorryJan 31 00:24
rnbhi everyone..Jan 31 00:24
_GoblinhiJan 31 00:24
rnbi've had all kinds of crazy shit happening at my buildingJan 31 00:25
rnbbottom line: if your landlord goes bankrupt... you are screwedJan 31 00:25
rnbmy $5500 security deposit has been stolen, i'm never getting it backJan 31 00:25
_Goblinsorry to hear thatJan 31 00:25
rnband i probably have to pay double-rent on januaryJan 31 00:25
rnbso, within the last 3 days, i've lost around $10kJan 31 00:26
rnbwell, not "lost" Jan 31 00:26
rnbi've had $10k stolen from me by a shady landlordJan 31 00:26
_Goblinoh dear...Jan 31 00:27
oiaohmThe double rent bit should be avoidable rnbJan 31 00:28
oiaohmDo you have a recept for paying the rent rnbJan 31 00:28
oiaohmIf you can find that you are set.Jan 31 00:29
rnbit's not avoidable, unfortunatelyJan 31 00:30
oiaohmThe deposit bit is why in Australia it has to go into an trustJan 31 00:30
oiaohmWhere are you rnbJan 31 00:30
rnbi mean, i could sue the guy but he is in bankruptcyJan 31 00:30
rnbso, it would be a complete waste of moneyJan 31 00:30
oiaohmSome countries there are like department of housing/tax office that will go after him.Jan 31 00:31
oiaohmAt no cost to you to get deposit back.  Ok maybe not quicky.Jan 31 00:31
rnbi'm in san franciscoJan 31 00:31
oiaohmBuggerJan 31 00:31
rnbwhich has the most liberal tenant laws in the USJan 31 00:32
rnbi mean, in favor of the tenantJan 31 00:32
rnbbut ... it just doesnt matterJan 31 00:32
oiaohmYou don't have a department over there to making sure the laws are followed.Jan 31 00:32
oiaohmYour laws are good but enforcement is a bitch.Jan 31 00:32
rnbthere are things like thatJan 31 00:33
rnbbut the law -is- being followedJan 31 00:33
rnbit's just that, in this case, the law is against meJan 31 00:33
oiaohmLike you are legally entiled to the depoist but the ammount of work to get it would be more than the depoist there.Jan 31 00:34
oiaohmWhere here australia the cost of getting the depoist to you would be nothing.Jan 31 00:34
oiaohmThe person who has to pay those costs is the person who lost it.Jan 31 00:34
oiaohmJust because we have a department who job is to enforce it.Jan 31 00:35
oiaohmPeople aways say the law is against.  Them.  More often than not it not the law but the legal process to follow the law.Jan 31 00:36
*FurnaceBoy doesn't get receipts for rent eitherJan 31 00:39
FurnaceBoyon the other hand, rent is not accepted in cash. so I could probably prove it was banked by the landlordJan 31 00:40
FurnaceBoyrnb: that sucks.Jan 31 00:40
oiaohmAs long as there is a record of payment.Jan 31 00:40
FurnaceBoyoiaohm: cheque.Jan 31 00:40
oiaohmIe you cannot be made pay for something you have already payed for.Jan 31 00:40
oiaohmThat is basic lawJan 31 00:41
oiaohmI have seen sales of properities delayed because some one had payed up rent.Jan 31 00:43
rnbargh, sorry.. i was just on the phone with the damn court-appointed receiverJan 31 00:46
rnboiaohm: yeah, but if you pay the wrong person, you still have to pay the -right- personJan 31 00:46
rnbthats what's happening to usJan 31 00:46
rnbi paid my january rent to the same company i've paid for 3-1/2 yearsJan 31 00:47
oiaohmIf you payed that person in good faith.Jan 31 00:47
oiaohmThe other person should not have taken it.Jan 31 00:47
rnbwell, as it turns out, i shouldnt have because he no longer holds this propertyJan 31 00:47
rnbthe court-appointed receiver doesJan 31 00:47
rnbso now, the court-appointed receiver wants january's rentJan 31 00:47
rnboiaohm: yes, you are correct, my old landlord should not have cashed that checkJan 31 00:48
oiaohmDid you get a formal letter informing you of change.Jan 31 00:48
rnboiaohm: but, he did, knowinglyJan 31 00:48
oiaohmBasically you were not information.Jan 31 00:48
oiaohmthe libablity is with the receiver and the past owner.Jan 31 00:48
rnboiaohm: well, thats the other thing, per the law, the court-appointed receivr MUST notify us of the changeJan 31 00:48
oiaohmBefore the rent was due.Jan 31 00:48
rnboiaohm: but, they didntJan 31 00:48
oiaohmI guess did notJan 31 00:48
oiaohmSo you should not have to pay twiceJan 31 00:49
jweyrichrnb: did you know the property changed its owner? :)Jan 31 00:49
oiaohmThey did not do there job.Jan 31 00:49
oiaohmIts acting in good faith protection.Jan 31 00:49
rnbjweyrich: no and, technically, the owner HASNT changedJan 31 00:49
oiaohmOf course you cannot get out of paying next month.Jan 31 00:49
rnbjweyrich: it's just that the owner is bankrupt, so a court-appointed receiver has taken over all incoming/outgoing moniesJan 31 00:49
oiaohmdue to paying to the wrong person.Jan 31 00:50
oiaohmReally you mess is quite simple. rnbJan 31 00:50
oiaohmAs long as you have documents proving you did pay rnbJan 31 00:50
oiaohmSince that money shoud have been forwards to the receiver by the owner.Jan 31 00:50
jweyrichrnb: that's not your problem. he has a problem with justice, he's bankrupt. so the new owner has to sue him to get your the money back. I don't see how you're involved :)Jan 31 00:51
rnbjweyrich: no, no.. there's no new ownerJan 31 00:51
jweyrichso?Jan 31 00:51
jweyrichstill not your problem.Jan 31 00:51
rnbjweyrich: a bankrupt company owns the propertyJan 31 00:51
oiaohmThe owner would have been under orders by the court.  rnbJan 31 00:51
oiaohmWhat he has disobeyed rnbJan 31 00:51
oiaohmBasically do you have documents proving payment rnbJan 31 00:52
jweyricha bankrupt company can't bill you! solved twice.Jan 31 00:52
oiaohmIf you do your fine.Jan 31 00:52
oiaohmBasically present the document to the reciever.Jan 31 00:52
oiaohmSay go get your money.Jan 31 00:53
rnboiaohm: that isnt how it worksJan 31 00:53
oiaohmLegally it is.Jan 31 00:53
rnbit isntJan 31 00:53
oiaohmBecause a court order on the owner would have been disobeyed.Jan 31 00:53
oiaohmOnce you go into recievership you are legally required to pass the monies you take to the reciever.Jan 31 00:54
oiaohmThat is the end of it.Jan 31 00:54
jweyrichbankruptcy = can't bill debtors anymoreJan 31 00:54
rnbsure, but he didntJan 31 00:54
oiaohmSo if you have documents that he got the money.Jan 31 00:55
oiaohmYou have done nothing legally wrong.Jan 31 00:55
oiaohmYou are paid.Jan 31 00:55
oiaohmIts the recievers job to legally skin him.Jan 31 00:55
FurnaceBoyI'm sure rnb knows what he's doing :)Jan 31 00:55
oiaohmNow for the reciever not having to do that is a lot simpler.Jan 31 00:55
jweyrichhe paid once, he will not pay again. the company can't bill him.Jan 31 00:55
oiaohmSo they try to trick people into paying twice.Jan 31 00:56
oiaohmLess paper work for them rnbJan 31 00:56
rnbFurnaceBoy: i do :)Jan 31 00:56
oiaohmHuman nature is at work rnbJan 31 00:57
rnbhuman nature?Jan 31 00:57
rnba bunch of sharky lawyers are at workJan 31 00:57
FurnaceBoysame thing :DJan 31 00:58
rnbwho specialize at making a ton of profit off of foreclosuresJan 31 00:58

jweyrichrnb: who's billing you for the rental?Jan 31 00:58
FurnaceBoyi think that's what rnb is sayingJan 31 00:58
oiaohmI have handled beasts like that before rnbJan 31 00:58
rnbit isnt human nature to scheme and try to hurt your fellow human beingsJan 31 00:59
jweyrichit's very human, unfortunately.Jan 31 00:59
jweyrichthe thing is that you don't need to pay, that simple.Jan 31 01:00
rnbpeople say that to justify the sick twisted society that we live inJan 31 01:00
rnbbut it isnt trueJan 31 01:00
rnbno, i DO need to payJan 31 01:00
rnbor potentially face an eviction proceeding against me, which is then always on record when you try to rent somewhere elseJan 31 01:01
jweyrichI don't see a single reason until now. everything you said until now points otherwise.Jan 31 01:01
rnbthe reason why is that the receivers are the company that should have been paidJan 31 01:01
jweyrichabove you said the owner was a bankrupt company.Jan 31 01:02
jweyrichsame one?Jan 31 01:03
rnbthere is an owner, and there is a court-appointed receiverJan 31 01:04
rnbtwo separate entitiesJan 31 01:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: see the problem?Jan 31 01:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: attempted scam, like oiaohm saidJan 31 01:04
jweyrichyes. a justice problem, not his.Jan 31 01:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: well...Jan 31 01:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: see also under "eviction notice"Jan 31 01:04
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: come on, I know *you're* familiar with low-life piece of shit scammers :)Jan 31 01:05
jweyrichsurelyJan 31 01:05
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: it appears that they KNOW most tenants will not take the risk of fighting themJan 31 01:05
jweyrichindeded it deserves the * marks LOLJan 31 01:05
FurnaceBoy:)Jan 31 01:06
jweyrichrnb: indeed, you're in bad hands.Jan 31 01:06
jweyrichwould have to pay an attorney for 1+ year, and not get your money back, because they're bankrupt.Jan 31 01:07
jweyrichwhich doesn't make sense if the bill is lower :)Jan 31 01:07
jweyrichthey're smart.Jan 31 01:07
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: i meant, fighting the receivers. Jan 31 01:08
jweyrichexactly what I'm saying.Jan 31 01:08
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: who may have set this upJan 31 01:08
FurnaceBoyif i've understood rnbJan 31 01:08
FurnaceBoyahJan 31 01:08
rnbFurnaceBoy: yes, its possibly they might have set this upJan 31 01:09
jweyrichbut what you just said, just gives another clue. what if the bankrupt company has connection with the court-appointed receivers?Jan 31 01:09
jweyrichheh.Jan 31 01:10

rnbno one in the building can find the ownerJan 31 01:11
jweyrichwell, that's something only an prosecutor would benefice fighting against.Jan 31 01:11
rnbto yell at him and demand our security deposits and january rent backJan 31 01:11
FurnaceBoyyeah that's what i was thinking.Jan 31 01:11
FurnaceBoyif they attempted this serially.Jan 31 01:11
jweyrichrnb: did you try a prosecutor?Jan 31 01:11
FurnaceBoyfor example, how do they manage to get away with avoiding notification as a business modelJan 31 01:11
rnbi happened to RANDOMLY find a PDF via google for a contact list of an amateur softball leagueJan 31 01:12

jweyrichwell, I started to think about it yesterday. that would be great for Brazil.Jan 31 01:27
jweyrichdespite few things, he's assuredly the best president this country ever hadJan 31 01:27
*jweyrich doesn't like politics either.Jan 31 01:28
rnbwell, he can run again after this new preisident serves her termJan 31 01:28
jweyrichyeah. that rule of 2 consecutive mandates is just to avoid dictatorship.Jan 31 01:29
jweyrichbrb.Jan 31 01:29

rnbbut part of the Foro de Sao Paulo plan is that members of the FSP who become heads of state should try to hold constitutional assembliesJan 31 01:31

*schestowitz writes some long postsJan 31 01:31
rnbsince most consitutions in latin america were writtn as the dictatorships were on their way outJan 31 01:33
rnbso, like in honduras, the constitution heavily favors the traditional oligarchyJan 31 01:33

jweyrichback.Jan 31 01:35
FurnaceBoyyesJan 31 01:36
FurnaceBoyi know this is true in brazil... very problematic for environmental protection :(Jan 31 01:36
jweyricholigarchy @ honduras? I thought it was aristocraticJan 31 01:38
jweyrichFurnaceBoy: the short mandate?Jan 31 01:38
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: oligarchies are everywhere :)Jan 31 01:38
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: they just prefer we didn't talk about themJan 31 01:39
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: their business gets done better in the dark, like cockroachesJan 31 01:39
jweyrichwell, EVERY single govern is oligarchic, despite what they say. Jan 31 01:39
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: exactly, the misdirection is very pervasiveJan 31 01:39
FurnaceBoyand intentional Jan 31 01:39
jweyrichit's more like the people see it.Jan 31 01:40
FurnaceBoywell, they see that government is weak, and blame thatJan 31 01:40
FurnaceBoywithout going any deeperJan 31 01:40
FurnaceBoytypical USA syndrome, btwJan 31 01:40
jweyrichlolJan 31 01:40
FurnaceBoythey beat their chests on how hopeless government is, as if that is the problem per seJan 31 01:40
FurnaceBoyit's a first order complaintJan 31 01:41
jweyrichthe major problem of any country is the economic model.Jan 31 01:41
jweyricheconomy dictates every single life. FMI is a cancer.Jan 31 01:42

rnbFurnaceBoy: have you ever look at gringoes.com? (i think thats the url.. checking...)Jan 31 01:44
FurnaceBoyjweyrich: unless you're connected to the oligarchy :)Jan 31 01:44
FurnaceBoyrnb: i know there are a couple of sites...Jan 31 01:45
rnbFurnaceBoy: i think an intelligent, leftist site with the same concept would be a worthwhile projectJan 31 01:46
rnbbut i have way more project ideas than timeJan 31 01:47
jweyrichFurnaceBoy: no, money is created out of nothing. someone say "this paper is worth $10", and the govern creates the "public treasury", and say "it's worth $10". they exchange, but the MFI charge interest on their $10. how could the govern pay $11, if they only have $10?Jan 31 01:47

jweyrichrnb: well, it's a big and crazy idea. but I don't see how we could make big advances (economically, and technologically) in our current model.Jan 31 01:54
jweyrichin fact, the current model was made to collapse.Jan 31 01:55
rnbjweyrich: i'm all for a revolutionary change away from capitalismJan 31 01:55
rnbjweyrich: but i prefer tendencies that have long histories with successes and extremely participatory evolution of ideasJan 31 01:56
rnbjweyrich: instead of the ideas of one french guy :)Jan 31 01:57
jweyrichif you grab the publicly available data, you'll certainly see the existing resources (food, water, etc) are more than enough for 6+Bi people, and we see high taxes of people with no access to food or water. Take Haiti for instance.Jan 31 01:58
rnbof course, lots of people throughout modern history have pointed out this sad fact and fought and died trying to change itJan 31 01:59
jweyrichrnb: the Venus project wouldn't succeed anytime soon. it will take a century or so. people can't change their way of thinking and natural instincts from day to night.Jan 31 02:00
rnbwe have more than enough resources to end poverty, starvation, preventable disease, etcJan 31 02:00
*_Goblin has quit (Quit: Lost terminal)Jan 31 02:00

MarcusKozeso from what i see there are links directly inserted into that div #headmenu Jan 31 09:54
MarcusKozefor a more semantic layout you could replace the div with a ul tag and wrap the links in li Jan 31 09:54
MarcusKozebut anyway, just a suggestion Jan 31 09:54
schestowitzAh.. I see what you meanJan 31 09:55
schestowitzIt goes back _over two years ago_Jan 31 09:55

schestowitzIt's on a separate server/VMJan 31 10:11

MarcusKozeaw and i see the header image (the one with ballmer and hovsepian) is edited at the top, doesnt blend that well with the top Jan 31 10:24
schestowitzI used to have Firefox extensions for on-the-fly css changesJan 31 10:25
schestowitzDo you have it?Jan 31 10:25
MarcusKozeyou cutted it ?Jan 31 10:25
MarcusKozeyeah, firebug and web developerJan 31 10:25
MarcusKozecolorzilla, measureit etcJan 31 10:25
MarcusKozefrom my experiments, i think you;d better change that margin-top to -18px Jan 31 10:26
MarcusKozeinstead of the -30pxJan 31 10:26
MarcusKozebecause the header image with ballmer and hovsepian isnt blending as it should've with the top backgroundJan 31 10:27
MarcusKozesorry for that, from the first look it looked as if it'd overlap ok with tthe -30pxJan 31 10:27
MarcusKozeand well that should do it for nowJan 31 10:28
schestowitzOK, thanksJan 31 10:30

schestowitz"I think this website has a lot to offer, if only the content layout was updated. Example, very few of your readers are using 800x600 screen resolution, so you really don’t need to reduce the content to that screen resolution. The font size is a bit small, for your readers. Think of using Font size 14, it’s a standard too. "Jan 31 10:31

MarcusKozetoo many widgets ?Jan 31 10:46
MarcusKozeroy, doesnt that cache expire when you edit some article or add new ones ?Jan 31 10:48

schestowitzLike when I made a 'dropquote'Jan 31 10:52
MarcusKozeaw, ok i understand nowJan 31 10:52

schestowitz'Désiré Athow wrote an article titled, “Microsoft's lawsuit payouts amount to around $9 billion” in which she wrote, “Though Microsoft is keen to emphasise the fact that they are not guilty of any wrongdoing in many of the lawsuits, they would prefer to pay rather than anything else. This has lead some observers to speculate that fines has been a way to "oil" the progress of Microsoft. Note also that no one has been Jan 31 12:19

schestowitzHehe.Jan 31 12:20
schestowitz"If Microsoft wasn’t using proprietary hidden source code, would Novell be a threat? Maybe, the website is just afraid to point to Microsoft, just like asking to see the birth certificate from Obama?"Jan 31 12:21

MarcusKoze Boycott Novell is a Web site that was conceived after Novell had signed a patent deal with Microsoft, an abusive monopoly. This deal was sought after by Novell and it has initiated:  A campaign of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) against users and distributors of GNU/Linux. This is similar to SCO.

DaemonFC"Obviously, he's either trying to mislead people or he can't think things  through. Many or most of the jobs they'd be doing would be jobs that  Americans who are drawing unemployment insurance could be doing, and  much of the labor those Haitians would be doing in the U.S. would be  heavily subsidized."Jan 31 18:56

DaemonFC"1/15/10 UPDATE: Janet Napolitano has now approved TPS,  but only for those illegal aliens who were here on Tuesday. How they'll  be able to tell isn't clear; some people will no doubt try to provide  fake documentation showing they were here at that time."Jan 31 18:57
DaemonFCIf we ask how long they've been here, they can just say they got here that day and challenge the government to prove itJan 31 18:58

Chips_B_MalryI am not actually for sending them all back.  But I do believe we should make our citizenship laws tougher, like Britian has.  We should give them at the border work papers to come across legally, unless they fail the criminal computer check.  Jan 31 19:19
rnband then they want to complain when the corrupt government they put into place didn't spend humanitarian aid on humanitarian projectsJan 31 19:19

Chips_B_Malrythat is the hidden data to be gleened from the quartersJan 31 19:56
Chips_B_Malrybut since the MS lies of "best quarter" ever, its now hard to layoff people.  Also the Ballmer mindset come into play here.  He is in favor of "going down the field broadly."  Which means he does not like to cut projects, people, well thats another matter.Jan 31 19:58
Chips_B_MalrySo, cuts while coming, could be postponed until the bad data of next quarter, if Ballmer decides to do that.Jan 31 19:59

Chips_B_Malrycopyright infringers, or pirates if you want to call them that, have in fact (defacto) already in some ways made them the standard.  Jan 31 20:15
DaemonFCChips_B_Malry: The solution to proprietary codecs is already there, but big businesses back each other upJan 31 20:17
DaemonFC:)Jan 31 20:17
Chips_B_MalryI would actually say that the fight of "standards" needs to be carried even further into the MS api's.  The ones that run the software, that wine could useJan 31 20:17
DaemonFCthey're probably not even charging Apple or Google licensing fees because they want to format to get popularJan 31 20:17
Chips_B_MalryApple for that matter tooJan 31 20:18
DaemonFCApple actually owns a lot of MPEG-4 patentsJan 31 20:18

Chips_B_MalryThis is why its going take over, h.264 apple codec, its smaller to download.   and its already taken overJan 31 20:22

Chips_B_Malrythere is a corruption in conversion of the h.264 filesJan 31 20:23
Chips_B_Malrywith many files that are h.264Jan 31 20:24
Chips_B_Malrynot allJan 31 20:24
_GoblinI don't see h264 as an issue...the "scene" is run by people who want their media to play in generic DVD machines....since h264 is not compat (with most), I can't see it getting a foothold.Jan 31 20:24
DaemonFCxvid is just better supported in software and hardwareJan 31 20:24
DaemonFCand both xvid and h.264 are not that different in qualityJan 31 20:25

DaemonFCit's like Obama might as well have said "I destroyed NASA and I'm declaring officially  that US innovation is dead"Jan 31 23:21
DaemonFChe may as well have fucking said that in his state of the unionJan 31 23:21
DaemonFCright there, those wordsJan 31 23:21

oiaohmStrangely enough here in Australia it has in places.  DaemonFCJan 31 23:23
schestowitzDespite the fact they invest more in spaceJan 31 23:23
schestowitzJust because of Bush's Christian background and stance on environment and gene modificationJan 31 23:23
DaemonFCgovernment programs tend to be inefficient, but companies administering them create overhead and defraud the governmentJan 31 23:24
oiaohmMainly due to the fact of the Public sector union making it almost impossiable to fire anyone no matter how bad they screw up DaemonFCJan 31 23:24
DaemonFCso it's almost always worse to privatizeJan 31 23:24
oiaohmI guess you don't have a public sector union over there  DaemonFCJan 31 23:24
schestowitzLook what it did to British railJan 31 23:24
DaemonFCa lot of them are unionized, oiaohmJan 31 23:24

oiaohmyou want to work in the goverment you better own to the union here DaemonFCJan 31 23:25
schestowitzThatcher privatised itJan 31 23:25
oiaohmNow privates here can simple disreguard unions.Jan 31 23:25
DaemonFCoiaohm: Her stories from that prison have my position on sex offenders as "Once you do that, especially to a child, I don't CARE about your rights anymore"Jan 31 23:26
DaemonFCthey ought to make all of them stick a sign out in their yardJan 31 23:26
DaemonFC:)Jan 31 23:26
DaemonFCbefore they do that, the law should be changed so pissing outside is not a sex offense thoughJan 31 23:27
oiaohmit all depends what sector has a major union problem or not.  If you are in country where public does not have a union problem private is more expensive.  If you are in a country where private and public have union problems it a toss up.  If you are in a country where public has a union problem and private does not private is cheaper.Jan 31 23:28
DaemonFCoiaohm: The funny thing is that even though Indiana has public assistance programs, and the governor has no power to shut them down, he is the administrator of all state employeesJan 31 23:28
DaemonFCso he can just tell them to find ways to deny everyone for those programsJan 31 23:28
oiaohmSo what way is cheeper alters country to country.  DaemonFCJan 31 23:28
DaemonFCso he is telling the Medicaid program to deny everyoneJan 31 23:29
DaemonFCyou have to appeal that all the way into the federal courts before you might get itJan 31 23:29
oiaohmOne of the funniest here. Was goverment owned prisions with out source management.Jan 31 23:29
DaemonFCoiaohm: There was a prison takeover of an outsourced Indiana prisonJan 31 23:30
oiaohmTurns out they have the lowest reoffend rates.Jan 31 23:30
DaemonFCthe prisoners subdued the staffJan 31 23:30
DaemonFCheld them hostage for hoursJan 31 23:30
oiaohmSince they pay rates are linked to the reoffend rates.Jan 31 23:30
DaemonFCthe company running the prison fired most of the guards when they took it overJan 31 23:30

oiaohmNot something you could normally do with completley private.Jan 31 23:30
DaemonFCso there wren't enough guards to stop the prisonersJan 31 23:30
oiaohmOur case here if that happens the management team is 100 percent libable with all there worldly assets.Jan 31 23:31
oiaohmNote I said out source management.Jan 31 23:32
DaemonFCthe prisoners couldn't get out though because the system was locked out by the staffJan 31 23:32
DaemonFCand it wouldn't open up for anyoneJan 31 23:32
DaemonFCheheJan 31 23:32
DaemonFCso they eventually surrenderedJan 31 23:32
oiaohmNot out sourced prision guards.Jan 31 23:32
oiaohmYes its one of those warped setups that is half goverment half private and manages to work well.Jan 31 23:33
oiaohmAnd its been looked at being done more here.Jan 31 23:33
oiaohmIe performance conidtions on management.Jan 31 23:33
DaemonFCoiaohm: Probably the only sane thing they did to that prison was allow the staff to initiate a lockdown modeJan 31 23:33
DaemonFCcause that's the only reason several hundred of them didn't escapeJan 31 23:34
oiaohmOur prisions here are kinda nasty.Jan 31 23:34

oiaohmLock you self in a command room and slow down vents in there will by you some more time than every where else.Jan 31 23:37
DaemonFCI suppose there aren't any windows in that room?Jan 31 23:38
DaemonFCI might open the windows and block the ventsJan 31 23:38
oiaohmNo outside opening windows in the complete building.Jan 31 23:38
oiaohmAll air comes threw the vents.Jan 31 23:38
oiaohmAnd its fully designed that way.Jan 31 23:39
oiaohmEven more intersting is all water and waste pipes are on the outer wall of building.Jan 31 23:39
oiaohmAnd they have an isolated water supply system that if the gas fails the water can be tainted.Jan 31 23:41

oiaohmOnly worried about that.Jan 31 23:47
oiaohmFew guards got into trouble here because they cracked a guys skull with at table bolted to floor while man handling him back to cell.Jan 31 23:48
oiaohmNow the problem was they put in in the wrong cell.Jan 31 23:49
oiaohmThat was on the other side of the way when he was 1 foot from his cell door when he passed out.Jan 31 23:49
oiaohmIe miss read his number.Jan 31 23:49
oiaohmReason why it kinda can be ouch if they don't get back to there cell.Jan 31 23:50
oiaohmGuards putting you there in hurry are not always competent.Jan 31 23:50
DaemonFCthe biggest problem with prison is that it almost never rehabilitates because most people that end up there never learn their lessonJan 31 23:50
