VA Contractor Loses Computer Containing Personal Data
August 7, 2006
A government contractor hired by the Veterans Administration (VA) to help process insurance claims announced that a desktop computer containing information on as many as 38,000 veterans had disappeared from its home office.

Energy Department lost computer equipment
At least 18 pieces of "computer processing equipment," including at least one laptop, are missing from the Energy Department's Office of Intelligence (IN), and department officials do not know whether any of it was used for or contained classified information, according to a new report from DOE's inspector general

Government Hit by Rash of Data Breaches
WASHINGTON (AP) - The government agency charged with fighting identity theft said Thursday it had lost two government laptops containing sensitive personal data, the latest in a series of breaches encompassing millions of people.

So why the House Panel Approves Electronic Surveillance Bill The government can not even keep track of their own computers. Let them monitor, then some one will lose the computer it is on.

Maybe, with the all the problems the government is having keeping track of their computers, we should ban the government from using computers. It seems to be helping the terrorists.

Right, but it's only a couple of years away:

Iran has been a building a heavy water reactor near the plant for two years, but the reactor is not scheduled for completion until 2009.

Nuclear weapons can be produced using either plutonium or highly enriched uranium as the explosive core. Either substance can be produced in the process of running a reactor.

Reactors fueled by enriched uranium use regular - or "light" - water as a "moderator" in the chain reaction that produces energy. Reactors using "heavy water" contain a heavier hydrogen particle, which allows the reactor to run on natural uranium mined by Iran, foregoing the enrichment progress.

In case anyone is still interested, Reuters has pulled all 920 photos by this photographer. Only two have been proven faked but they are not taking any chances. The question remains though, how did they get through Reuters' editorial process? Here are a few links to the story:

Maybe from the Google press release announcing their new China lab and specifically mentioning the employee in question? (As mentioned in the article...)

O'Connor was joined by

O'Connor's dissent was surprisingly terse and (*gasp*) conservative!

From http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/23/politics/23wire- scotus.html?incamp=article_popular_4

In a bitter dissent, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said the majority had created an ominous precedent. "The specter of condemnation hangs over all property," she wrote. "Nothing is to prevent the state from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory."

"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private property, but the fallout from this decision will not be random," she wrote. "The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms.

"As for the victims," Justice O'Connor went on, "the government now has license to transfer property from those with fewer resources to those with more. The Founders cannot have intended this perverse result."

Atlanta, GA (GNAAP)
-GuyNiguere

GNAA members were able to breathe a sigh of relief as fellow nigger Brian Nichols came home after a lengthy ordeal. He was charged with rape which is a common southern tactic to eradicate our kind. While on trial in an Atlanta courtroom and bravely liberated himself to make a run for the GNAA worldwide headquarters on the Niger River, during the struggle he overcame the repression of a police officer, a half-Jewish judge, and a full jew reporter. He then stole a green Honda Accord and was last reported waving his thick-veiny nigger cock in the direction of the courthouse and screaming "lol Jews" repeatedly.

I contacted the GNAA legal department and was immediately told by legal council chairman g0sp-hell "(Mr. Nichols) did the right thing, it is against our laws to stand trial for any crimes committed by members in any other venue but ours, in addition Mr. Nichols has admitted to having sex with a female creature which will be punished by forcing him to sit through a slide-show of Latvian internet art. His actions, however, are not tantamount to rape as he did yell "surprise" before penetration."

I have been told by anonymous sources within the GNAA that Mr. Nichols is recovering from his sentence and has been put to work manually crapflooding suicide notes on livejournal.com.

Disclaimer: I don't work there, but I know somebody who does.

You do know that, if he existed, he was jewish, right?

Yes, I know that. Israel turned its back on him. The Israelites are God's chosen people (remember Moses leading them to the promised land?)

he never would have said anything about sins etc.

Read the Sermon on the Mount (the Beatitudes) beginning in the Book of Matthew, chapter 5 to read what he said about sin.

Jesus probably never even existed.

You can think what you'd like. I believe he existed and is the Son of Man - the savior for the world.

And, although you didn't directly say that, it is inferred because you have said that that is a sin, and that sinners should burn in hell forever :P

No. I said unrepentant sinners who have not accepted Christ will not have a pleasant afterlife. We're all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God - therefore we can do nothing to be "good enough" to get into heaven. The only difference is the sinners who have accepted Christ and the sinners who have not. When Jesus died he took on the sins of every sinner that ever lived or ever would live. He is our intercession between us and God.

See you there

I know I'm going to heaven when I die because I've accepted Christ in my heart. I hope you'll read up on the Bible and discover that Jesus loves you - whether you love him or not. The man took a beating and died a painful death just so you could live with him one day. If you don't want to read about it, rent Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" film. It's a pretty accurate depiction of the four gospels from the Garden of Gesthemane to the resurrection.

so you base your life around these two things?

I base my life around three things: Jesus came to this planet as the savior. Jesus died for my sins and Jesus rose on the third day. That's what separates Christianity from all other religions. Mohammed is dead. Buddha is dead. Jesus is alive and he will return one day soon to establish his kingdom on earth.

Let me give you a few points to ponder:

There are some prophecies in the Bible. One is that the city of Damascus would be destroyed. Until this time, Damascus has never been destoyed. The terrorist Palestinians have terrorist headquarters in Damascus. Israel Blames Syria for Suicide Bombing I find it very interesting that a small country like Israel could be in the news so often.

The Bible also says that the east gate of Jerusalem will remain sealed until Jesus returns. To this day, the east gate remains sealed.The Golden Gate

The Bible says that in the end days Israel will be attacked by Russia (known as Gog in the Bible) and Persia (modern-day Iran). Russia Pledges to Finish Iran Reactor

The Bible also says that in the last days there will be earthquakes in diverse places, increasing in frequency and intensity like birth pangs. 2004 Deadliest In Nearly 500 Years For Earthquakes

I firmly believe that Jesus will return soon. In the Book of Matthews, the disciples asked Jesus of the signs of his coming. In the Olivet Discourse, he outlined these signs. I hope you'll take a look at them and see that we are in the season.

Michael

I'd like to see how you liberal morons try to get out of this...

Why is Slashdot posting this crap when Jews are being murdered again?

I am not going to respond to everything to try to keep this from ballooning into a gigantic post, but I'll respond to some of your points.

Our involvement in that area was nothing more than an excuse to follow the rules of McArthiesm.

Why don't you ask the South Koreans if they feel the same? Or maybe they prefer scraping bark off of trees for dinner like their counterparts to the north?

Communism is a great theory, however no one yet has managed to implement it correctly.

That's about the same thing as saying "A perpetual motion engine is a great theory, just nobody has implemented it correctly yet." Sure- the ideas behind communism are great, but there is a reason why nobody has been able to implement it correctly (on a large scale, at least).

If we had kept our noses out of their business, perhaps there would be a few hundred thousand people enjoying life today.

Perhaps if we had ignored it, there would be hundreds of millions of people living under oppressive totalitarian regimes without basic freedom of speech or freedom of religion.

If we're out to take out dictatorships, why is Cuba still around? Putin has repealed most of the democratic reforms in Russia and implemented some highly questionable practices. Why aren't we marching our armies through Moscow?

We are not out to "take out" dictatorships- we are out to address threats to our security. This really isn't very hard to understand.

I don't know if you missed it, but the US invaded Iraq without the approval of the UN.

Wrong. The US invaded Iraq using the direct authorization for military force that was unanimously granted in resolution 687 and reaffirmed 16 times after that, including resolution 1441 that gave Saddam one final chance to comply.

You see a country that doesn't like you threaten and beat the shit out of another country and you expect them to NOT TO DEVELOPE DETERRENTS?!?

I expect countries to live up to their international obligations. North Korea has had a secret uranium enrichment program for the past decade in violation of both the NPT and our 1994 bilateral framework.

If Iran is also developing nuclear weapons, it is in violation of the NPT as well.

Now, I believe that our action in Iraq will help resolve these situations peacefully for several reasons:
- The Shia majority in Iraq (led by Sistani) is very pro-democracy, and they are also friendly with Iran. This will have a big influence on the pro-democracy movements inside Iran. Just look at the number of reformist candidates that are running for President in Iran's July election to see this. There will be big changes in Iran this year!
- Iran, Germany, France, and the UK are VERY motivated to succeed in their talks to resolve these issues.
- North Korea is also motivated to resolve this crisis. Their comments this week were a transparent attempt to get back to bilateral talks with us because they feel this will give them legitimacy and prompt concessions and aid from us (like we gave them in 1994). The 6-party talks are the most likely way to resolve this peacefully.

Ah the Washinton Post. No that's an unbiased source of information right there.

What a weak-minded response. This was widely reported last summer (1, 2, 3, 4).

Are we talking about the same country? Even if they had plans, their infrastructure was so wrecked they were barely maintaining electricty and clean water.

All I can say is, read the ISG reports, because it is obvious that you haven't.

PLANS!= WMD. We have thousands of military plans to inva

Praise the Lord!

Man Charged Under Patriot Act for Laser

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050105/D87DMD880 .html
January 4th
Federal authorities Tuesday used the Patriot Act to charge a man with pointing a laser beam at an airplane overhead and temporarily blinding the pilot and co-pilot.
The FBI acknowledged the incident had no connection to terrorism but called David Banach's actions "foolhardy and negligent."
Banach, 38, of Parsippany admitted to federal agents that he pointed the light beam at a jet and a helicopter over his home near Teterboro Airport last week, authorities said. Initially, he claimed his daughter aimed the device at the helicopter, they said.
He is the first person arrested after a recent rash of reports around the nation of laser beams hitting airplanes.
