The FBI engaged in a massive amount of illegal wiretapping. It was MASSIVE. It was also quite illegal--and completely unpunished. This was organized violation of civil rights--a plain crime.
The FBI engaged in massive surveillance of student demonstrators, including infiltrating student protest movements. This wasn't for suspicion of crime--this was for intelligence. That was plain wrong.
The FBI burgled--there is no other word for it--the office of Daniel Ellsberg and others. That is wrong.
Then there was FBI Director L. Patrick Gray and the Nixon coverup.
AND THEY ASK US WHY WE DON'T TRUST THEM NOT TO VIOLATE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY?
Uber wants all the benefits of being an employer with none of the responsibilities.
If you listen to Uber, every worker is an independent contractor and all the employee protection laws we fought so hard for over the last century don't apply any more.
Follow the herd. Store your data in somebody else's box. Trust encryption that you don't understand, and that is guaranteed to obsolete with the next big jump in computing technology.
This is BULLSHIT. Losing weight does not have to be hard. Eliminate or drastically reduce refined sugar and complex carbohydrates from your diet, and you'll probably lose weight.
It might take a few weeks, but your body will adapt to your new diet, and you'll get satisfied by healthier foods just like you used to be satisfied by sugary breaded crap.
The FBI can't help itself. It will push a law and push a law, until finally the law gets constrained and a valuable law enforcement tool is watered down or eliminated. They should hire more grown ups.
Is there anything out there that straightforwardly automates databinding LibreOffice controls to an XML data structure?
I'm talking primarily about controls where you can type in text and that text will automatically appear in other content controls that are bound to the same XML data node.
I've done it in Word via VBA, but it's not something that I would recommend for others to use. Is there something like this for LibreOffice that makes the process easy for the user.
"Intelligence" yields a pathetically low return on investment. If past history is any indicator (Philby, for example), the world is NOT going to collapse, things are NOT that grave, and except for the damage to the intelligence community, things are going to go on pretty much the same as always.
Doesn't look like any question were raised here. The constitutional violation appear obvious. The event is an obvious public forum, because lots of people are expressing themselves there. Only compelling governmental reasons can allow the restriction of speech in a public forum and any such restriction will be looked at by the courts with "strict scrutiny." Having a warrant outstanding is a stupid reason to shut someone off from public speech.
This so obviously bad, either (a) the City's lawyer is an absolute moron (unlikely); (b) the Cops ignored their lawyer's advice telling them that shutting down this speech would be wrong (evil); or (c) the Cops didn't bother to consult with their lawyer and just shut down a speech because they wanted to (unlikely).
I love advertising regulation, so long as the government stays out of it. Give people the right to control for themselves the information that is presented to them. That's the heart of freedom.
The "expert system" is just a much more involved contract that happens to be written in code. That "code" is great, so long as both parties understand exactly the terms of the code that they are agreeing to. If both parties do not have an equally good understanding of the code, then the expert system is just another unfair one sided contract foisted on people by businesses with the aid of their programmers.
How far away are we from remotely constructing a fully human-ready, self-sufficient Martian living environment (mining, farming, fabricating, energy production, etc.)?
It's all about building seeds--seeds that can grow into a powered factory, for example. As our technology gets better, seed varieties will vary from ultra-gigantic to ultra small.

Oh, come on now...
The difference is that when their shit breaks, they can fix it.

What could possibly go wrong?
I wonder how much of the spike can be attributed to the cell phone killers.

You'll think twice about believing anything a movie or TV executive ever says.

"Because why?"

What a bunch of bullshit.
It is not a zero-sum game. Each bike rider not driving a car clears space for other drivers.

Umm...not necessarily.

Is there a better solution available in LibreOffice? Any hint, Rube?

Generally, I agree with you. But the bike pathletes can be as rude and obnoxious as any overly aggressive rider.

This could easily become lawsuit.

No doubt about it, at all. Design around a beautiful skeleton and your future can be as beautiful-and mutable-as you want.

I'd think bigger. Remotely build a rover factory on Mars that can manufacture and fuel rovers there.
