I call bullshit
I looked at Jawa report and the first blog entry is "Kosfest--"We Hate America!"". Oh okay, the "they hate America" imbecile crowd then. But hey, nevermind that, maybe they're still a "news site", let's give them a chance and see their news, whoa, on their first page, next thing I see, they have this photo of weeping men and they request captions by saying "Caption this photo of Islamofascists realizing that Rusty was there, and they failed to kill him." http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/177712.php What bullshit. News site? Fucking bullshit. This is not a news site, this is a scum site. Scum beyond imagination.

Re:Good on you google!They were dropped because people who were clicking through to get "news" were being greeted with things like this:
Talking to yourself, idiot? Fuck you and every other liberal moron on the planet, and your muslim masters you piece of shit. The only thing I want to do with you and your kind is to watch until you stop kicking, and considering how fast society is falling apart and the government is losing control of the country because of political greed and corruption in both parties, I won't have long to wait. There'll be war in America soon, and your kind are gutless cowards, so enjoy your privileged life of blissful stupidity while you can, because the ride will be over soon, and your muslim friends will be strapping suicide vests on you, if we don't get you first. You're screwed, but then, you picked the team you wanted to play on.
Posted to this site which is still in the results.
The entire issue is nothing more than typical facist whining. They're not being "censored" out of political bias, they're being dropped because the blogs themselves are either racist, homophobic, genocidal, and possibly illegal, or the commenters are posting things that fit any combination of those categories.
The whole "problem" is that these extremist-right-wing whackjobs are calling for murder, civil war, genocide, forced sterilization, and more, and then bitching when people are duped into thinking that kind of garbage is "news". -
Not Really.
You're thinking of HSTR - and no, no one really uses it anymore. In looking around I was amazed to see that the working group even thought far enough ahead to start planning a gigabit spec. I havent seen a concentrator/MAU (right word?) in years, though. Any QoS features that were implemented in Token Ring are pretty much duplicated in 802.1p and other (proprietary) layer 2 QoS/CoS protocols.
Rings themselves are still used, just in other topologies. You may still see some FDDI here and there, and many cable companies use RPR/DTP/SRP to deliver digital cable and broadband access at the same time in their cores.
Either way, I'm sure the pointy haired boss doesn't miss it. -
classic "Look! There's Bigfoot!" DefenseAh, a classic example of the right wing's "Look! There's Bigfoot!" Defense, not to be confused with the Chewbacka defense. When some GOP or conservative shenanigan comes to light, right wingers point off into the hills and yell "Look! There's Bigfoot!", hoping to distract people long enough to get away. The media falls for this every time.
Take for example, the latest Downing Street memo. It revealed that prior to the invasion of Iraq, Bush thought the evidence of WMD was so weak that he suggested tricking Iraq into firing on a U-2 spyplane painted with UN colors. Wingnuts like Confederate Yankee dismissed the memo as nonsense, primarily on the grounds that you wouldn't be able to see the plane at it's operation altitude from the ground. That's a Bigfoot moment, because the fact that U-2's fly at 70,000 does nothing to debunk the idea that "putting food on our families" Bush wouldn't have hatched the scheme in the first place.
It mentions the federal government is only interested in using this to replace existing flights by manned aircraft at over 12,500 feet, with filed flight plans. This is your own local officials doing this backyard surveillance, not "the big evil Bush" that everyone seems to like to blame for everything. But MAN does throwing "the Bush administraion" in the summary really catch eyeballs, regardless of whether it's true or not.
More "Bigfoot" nonsense. Dismissing the involvment of the Bush Administration by talking about locals in this is like trying to claim that the Administration and the GOP majority in Congress didn't have anything to do with the Patriot Act because it is used & abused by local law enforcement. And you conviniently ignored the quote that was in the summary: "A top Homeland Security official told Congress today..."
This might be news to you, but the Dept of Homeland Security is part of the Executive Branch, headed by a Cabinent-level official, with all top level officials either being directly appointed by Bush or appointed by appointees of Bush, which makes it part of the......drumroll please....Bush administration.
*sigh* Typical slashdot.
No, typical kneejerk defense by what appears to be a member of the Church of Bush. There have been many times when you guys end up falling all over yourselves in the rush to defend our dear president, only to be proven wrong later. See the Katrina video or the Downing Street memos, for example. And that's just what's filtered out through a stonewalling GOP government. If the Dem's have the balls to actually go out and win the Senate or the House AND investigate the White House, the shit is really going to hit the fan.
Bush is draging this country down, and guys like you are helping him. -

Re:Sorry New Jersey, can't do it
Mmm...wanna bet? Happens in Chicago, etc as well. I have heard, anecdotally, from a reporter that anonymous accusations happens about 10,000 time a day in the US and law enforcement resources are being tied up, because these are usually couched as "suspicious activity" reports, and there are rules about handling them when there are enough of them. That "not using a shopping cart" was considered evidence of potential massive shoplifting. and the two officers were not charged with working out too long or spending money on dry cleaning...they were charge with theft of public funds.
If the victim is not in a political or financial position to defend themself, unlike as they were in the New Jersey cases, the result can be that the victim is unemployable at best and homeless or imprisoned at worst.
This was a minor problem, in the days before interlinked databases and federated text mining. Technology has turned this into a major problem, because the unclean data points these sorts of actions generate pollute far more databases than the call records of local police, often ending up in NCLC, Choicepoint, Equifax and Axciom (among others) databases as well.
You can assert it's beside the point, until you have been one of the victims. Then it hits home; its more like identity theft, except its rape, not theft, in a very real sense. Not a minor crime at all.
When you add in the fact it is a weapon used against whistleblowers and others (like law enforcement officers) that attempt to report crimes or enforce laws, it becomes a major issue indeed.
Now lets kick it up a notch. I have heard that the Democrats are setting up a potential voter database for text mining (CSPAN, last week) similar to the ones the Republicans used in 2004.
http://ifk-johnkerry.blogspot.com/2004/12/more-pai nful-lessons-from-2004.html
Which means that, in 2007-2008 Two parties, who, AT EVERY LEVEL, tend to fight as dirty as possible, are going to have microfocused databases on potential swing votors...and swing influencers. The mind boggles what sorts of, umm, interesting, scenarios of innuendos, accusations, blackmail, favors and threats might pop out as the race heats up. I mean, we are two years away from that New Jersey race, the DNC database isn't set up yet, and we are already seeing this.
Now add in potential donors, such as the chinese fundraising scandal (Huang, Ickes, etc) a few years ago,(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=john+Hua ng+ickes+clinton&btnG=Google+Search) the fact that the CPC/PRC will be about a year away from collapsing internally (http://simonworld.mu.nu/archives/150816.php), rising American protectionism and isolationism like the DPW issue, and the ADVISE system adding blog entries to the suspicous activity database http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0209/p01s02-uspo.htm land we pretty much have a perfect storm brewing both in China and America. The damage to America's reputation frow DPW was bad enough...this could be far worse.
I hope you can come up with a better line of justification of your reasoning than just simply stating your conclusion. If you feel this is the wrong way to approach it (which, incidently, I would agree, except I see no other solution), how would you suggest handling the problem? There is a clear and present danger to both real people and the public welfare. -

Re:I thought...
They are thughs? all of them?, without a doubt? says who ?
Why don't we kill them all and let some kind of higher being sort it out then ?
Much evidence point to the fact that most GB detainees were taken in because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sure, some of them probably are thugs, but the *point* of due process for everyone is to sort the guilty from the innocent. Since the Army did not follow any kind of due process they have a huge PR problem on their hand whereby they either declare everyone guilty without proper trial (since they don't have proper evidence) or they must admit they don't have much evidence and release a lot of detainee eventually.
Of course there are those who believe that it is better to indict and lock up a few innocent people (even perhaps many innocent people) in order to make sure the guilty don't escape.
In this case those very same people should have no objections when American hostages are taken in Iraq and elsewhere and executed. After all a few of them are bound to be CIA agents (i.e. "terrorists"), right? -

I hate amateur Sovietologists!what Stalin famously called "useful idiots"
It was Lenin who said that and he actually didn't say it. It was invented by the John Birch Society to describe Ronald Regan.
There is much more evidence that Lenin referred to them instead as "Deaf Mutes" which is much less of a marketable term for the anti-communists to use in describing how communists view their dupes.
Article that Makes Reference to the Deaf Mutes Quote. This quote was also referenced by Theodore Radzinsky in his Stalin Biography as being authentic.
"The so-called cultural element of Western Eurpoe and America are incapable of comprehening the present state of affairs and the actual balance of forces; these elements must be regarded as deaf-mutes and treated accordingly....

Re:I'd say a better example,
is the dismantling of CBS's attempt to flaunt the(obiviously) fake National Guard memos
Or the Eason Jordan story, or the exposure of Ward Churchill's extreme views on the 9/11 victims, or the way Bill Moyers attempted character assassination of James Watt was quickly found to be bogus (to his credit, Moyers has since apologised).Of course, none of those examples allow left-wing bloggers to pimp their "outing" of some who-dat journalist whose biggest crimes seem to be asking questions from a conservative viewpoint.

Instant Win
Sure, we could of pushed the "instant win" button.
Drafting troops, calling up new troops? It'd take at least a year. That's about how long it takes to train a modern infantry trooper up to standards. Our troop mix is not up to the task of limited strikes in that amount. There are also substantial costs in terms of control and coordination. Extra supplies and equipment would have to be obtained too.
I see it taking 10-20 years before we can withdraw. We have to train up the Iraqi military from pretty much scratch, and senior officers and a good NCO core take years. I will say that we're taking more and more of a back seat to the Iraqies, letting them handle things. But building the trust, the skills, of government by the people takes time.
Middle America even approved of the Abu Ghraib attrocities. 57 million of them
Say WHAT? We approved? That's news to me! I cheered when I heard that the first soldier was convicted with maximum penaties. I ask why the highest ranking person being charged was an E-6. I expected at least a captain (note: the military can and often does hold an officer responsible for the acts of the troops under him or her).
A more credable statement would be that the Midwesterners saw the matter as "being handled". Investigation was done, people being punished, and besides, the terrorists are beheading people! Murder is worse than some idiots doing the equivalent of fraternity pranks. -

Re:Why?
Why is it that when someone attempts to lock stuff they deem propritary so it won't get copied all over the place, so they can make a buck, someone has to come along to nullify it?
Instead of spending all your time trying to ruin someone's hard work, why don't you use your time and make something that *you* can sell? Hhhhmmmmm?
I hope you get sued and you go to jail.You **MUST** be a suit. Comeon, you **HAVE TO BE** a suit. Will you **ADMIT** that **YOU ARE** a suit? **ONLY A SUIT** would think that conservatively.
But in any case, it's not really important. Even though you are a suit, it's no importance. Suits are always the first one to say no whenever someone comes with a bright idea, but whatever they say, it's of no importance, because bright ideas triumph by their own merit.
