Until about a week ago, repeal of DADT was a dead issue because it was tied to bigger bill concerning military policy. Obama diddn't do jack squat to move the thing forward, but Senators (Rep and Dem) worked out a way to isolate this issue to move it forward, and this is the result. Google news pieces on this.
Like I wrote, Obama did squat. The guy wouldn't know leadership if it elbowed his jaw.
He may be a dirty old hippie, but he carries a lot of weight among computer nerds - talk with some people at MIT. If RMS raises an issue, it does get heard in this circle.
Here is a great niche for free software - module/plugin to throw off tracking. I'm guesing it'd be bit like virus signature chasing, but maybe bit easier.
I would cook up something along this line on my spare time, but I haven't touched webapps/ecommerce for a few years and not familiar with the current tracking techniques...
The awful thing is, medical research relies so heavily on stats, one of the most subtle and delicate branch of math, compounded with difficulty due to limited sample sizes, handled all by these life science guys and gals.
There is no loyalty between employers and employees, and that's been the case for a few decades now. It's everyone-watch-yo-own-ass, like the Wall St. mercenaries.
Time to consider employment contracts like they do for investment bankers.
Digital/computer stuff has gotten quite cheap, but decent quality MIDI controllers - i.e., mechanical interface - remains bit pricey, even with Chinese manufacturing, especially for student budget.
Of course, compared to before, you can set up pro quality recording setup for fraction.

Congress did, Dems with some Reps, no thanks to Obama.

Who register their email, etc. with Mickey D?
Nothing of value was lost.
Suppose someone had to post this.
Thanks for the link. Have you used it for a while? How well do they fare?

Thanks. Looks like two sticking points:
- Replacement JVM, like Apache Harmony, disallowed through definition of "product"
- Can't be used in embedded, phone, etc.
Dang, I hate IP/legal issues.
What are the restrictions on the TCK license? I RTFA (and its linked pieces) but it doesn't seem to spell out the specifics.
They made ass out of themselves handing the prize out to Al Gore and Obama.
It's not what it used to be.

There is just too much money (and commercial interest) and not enough science in medical science.
Exactly the opposite.
If you believe in after life, you'd probably expect "they" will settle the score once you die, and who isn't a "sinner"?
Actually the Kia models look pretty damn good. Look'em up.
But anyway, I hope you're wrong, but... you know.
You know, when I first read Catch-22 - i.e., lose on every unit, but make it up in volume - I thought it was a goofy joke, and it was.
But then I was taught about chip foundry, and realized it made sense perfectly, in a way.
And still nowhere near hellascale. Lame.
The Fuck!?
You want all the girls act like nuns?
"Honestly, a good suggestion is that if you don't want to be treated like trash, perhaps you ought not to act like trash."
Hey, let's go too far here. No need to ... go too far.
Well, that answers the question of Sweden being the US stooge.
I was gonna write "our stooge", but I'm ambivalent on this one, as I am ambivalent about the disclosure of secret diplomatic cables.
Assange might be an asshole, but I want this guy protected.
It's a middle-brow entertainment with an infotainment pretense. Pointless to get worked up about.
Yeah, especially these days. But that bit of Minnesota employment law seems too vague and roundabout to be adequate.

Which uni did you work with?
And BSD has taken care of the AT&T copyright issue anyways...
