Couldn't agree with you more... I've been reloading for 20+ years, well trying to these past 10 years, but the prices are already so ridiculous. I've been stock piling for years, only problem is I enjoy shooting too much, never seem to have enough on had for reserves...
I tend to believe that its a difference in education between the generations. I know the vocabulary in my family is completly different in the older generations of my family. Half the time my teenagers dont understand the conversations when my grandparents are around, and there always asking "what did they mean" later on.
FTA "17 of the 6,000 documents have now been publicly released." 17 un encrypted documents translates into "It appears that Osama bin Laden didn’t encrypt any of his computer files" Must be that Arabic Math, I never did learn with an abacus...
Well, I too, am one of those old timers that faced tough times, for me it was almost 10 years ago I lost my great job, the difference is I chose to stay in the field for the experience instead of claiming unemplyment or flipping burgers, the down side, was I was paid about the same as a burger jockey. About a year ago, I finally got the oppertunity for another great job that landed in my career path, and am now reaping the benefits. My point to this story, while it may sound like gloating (its not), is that I believe its about the choices we make durning the difficult times. History has proven that NO job is stable, plan ahead and dont rely on anyone else! I'm absolutly with you on the cheap fodder being produced now days (I work with too many of them), and they just dont have the attitude of creating their career, they do what they can to get by, and thats about it. But that is their choice, they will have to deal with their consequences down the road.

FTA: "Beijing and Moscow see American information technology as a threat. They want systems of their own" and "especially programs sold by foreign vendors, has immense implications for the country's national security. " How does open source help fight security in the short term? wouldn't open source make it easier?
Sounds to me more like a cost savings move than a security move....
IBM has not cut prices on its current Power6 and Power6+ servers, but if the upgrade guarantee doesn't grease the sales skids, that will be the next move.
I look at it like I do Technology, there will *Always be something better tomorrow*.
The research and development used to culminate the F-22 will surely be used in the next F-XX.
FTA... "Yet he then begins browsing through our hard drive. A folder marked 'Private' is opened and he flicks through our researcher's holiday photographs, including intimate snaps of her wearing a bikini. He stares at picture after picture, stopping only to show them to colleagues.
He then picks up the phone and calls our researcher. He tells her our motherboard is faulty and will need to be replaced. Usually it costs £130 but he'll do it for £100. We tell him we'll think about it and call him tomorrow."
Wonder what the press left out of this one?!?!?!
Thats fine that Adobe's creating this software, but the bottom line is poor control with reuters.
When reuters can prove their internal controls will stop altered images from making it to press, thats when their integrity may start to come back.

"policing" your brass! always thought that was a strange term for collecting your brass....
But you added a key word there.... responsible...
You think the idiots out there causing crime are responsible?
Can they atleast confirm that the top five used password are still God, Love, Sex, etc etc, or what ever they were in that movie?

Thats funny, just yesterday I read on /. about how IT jobs were moving back to the US because of demand and salaries were trending back up...
IT Salaries Edge Up Back To 2008 Levels http://it.slashdot.org/story/12/01/07/0122215/it-salaries-edge-up-back-to-2008-levels

If you have a phoneline, you should be able to access dialup. Right?
Not true, While living in the Lower Ugashik area of Alaska, my dial tone was partially carried by microwave. Microwave and Dial up do NOT mix.

What would have been interesting to see is the stats to back this up.
Break it down to size of business and the number of resources dedicated to the Cloud Sourcing across time. (Theres that damn "Cloud" word yet again)
I would just about bet that less than 5% of small and mid size businesses dont even know what the hell Could Sourcing is, let alone are using it.
Now look at the comparison of employees in small and mid size business compared to Lage corps and I bet it would make this article disappear!
From the Article
"In terms of cost, we're not looking at this as a commercial venture," he told iTnews.
"What we're doing is diverting a resource from landfill or incineration and treating it with green technology."
This then poses the question, if it can't be done cost effectivly, why bother?
IBM has not cut prices on its current Power6 and Power6+ servers, but if the upgrade guarantee doesn't grease the sales skids, that will be the next move.

Anyone know what the "Number of New Features" is?
Thats one bright fish.... Seriously, Why did we give some research team money for this?
