Once, the asshole in charge of "security" boasted that his HP-3000 was "secure". When my boss came back from the meeting, he sounded thoroughly pissed.
So we got into his "secure" system by guessing his passwords. Took the most of 30 seconds.
16 years of republican control during the last 24 years have brought about the typical bourgeois short-term thinking that has resulted in the virtual annihilation of the USA's space capability.
More englightened leadership would have started working to ensure the developmnent of a more up-to-date alternative.
But it may be too late now, the aerospatial talent is either retired or scattered thanks to the aerospatial industry post 9/11 debacle, and there is definitely no replacements for those lost talent, as the bourgeois shortsightedness send bright students into law school rather than engineering.

If the star that went hurling through the Cosmos had planets, I wonder how they fared; would they be yanked off their orbits or simply follow the remaining primary?
And if any of them had life, one better not think what would have happenned to it...
In France, it is compulsory to carry ID at all time; yet, France is seen as a beacon of Liberty and Freedom throughout the world, and if you tell a frenchman that his liberty is severely curtailed by that, he'll scratch his head and maybe ask for some explanation... France has 60 million of population; surely the problem can be scaled efficiently to handle 5 times as much people?
Anglo-saxon countries have those terrible hangups about State-issued ID (amongst other things), mostly for neurotic reasons that can be traced back to the magna-carta. Yet, such IDs can solve a lot of problems that are currently awkwardly and unevenly addressed; like drivers license, for example.
It's not everyone who can have one; blind people, those with motor disabilities or simply heavy cases of dyslexia (it's no good to mix the gas and brake pedals) will make sure that plenty of people will be oddballed by not having what is regarded as an ID-card.
The hodge-podge of US motor-vehicle registration systems (one in each State) make it so many different ways of doing ONE thing.
Banks clerks simply underflow their stacks when confronted by someone who doesn't have a driver's licence; they're simply not programmed for that.
And what about the misuse and abuse of social-security numbers? Video-clubs will ask for it to rent a goddammed DVD!!! It is not likely that a video-club will keep it's database as securely as a bank does.

Speak for yourself... I never cringe when I hear "... land of the free..."... neither do my Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Protestant and atheist classmates that are all allowed to believe and practice their faiths exactly as they wish.
Do like I just did... Put a picture of you naked, hiding your shlong with a nintendo box, on a web page.
BUT DO NOT GIVE THE URL TO ANYONE ELSE THAN THE LAWYERS!!!
Send "Stop IP Infringement <StopInfringement@PerkinsCoie.com>" an e-mail telling them about your web page, and carefully monitor the access log to see when it is accessed, and to see if you are sent a nastygram, or your ISP is.
Better yet, make sure that ONLY THE PERKINS-COIE people can see your page by checking their IP address (they are from 63.79.33.0 to 63.79.33.63), and NOT the ISP or anyone else by putting the following PHP code that makes sure that no one else can see the page:
$raa=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];<br> $ra=ex plode(".",$raa);<br>if (($ra[0]==63) && ($ra[1]=="79") && ($ra[2]=="33")) <br> then { ?> show the page <?php } else { ?> display your 404 error <?php }
This way, the lawyers will be the only one seeing the page, and whenever they will complain about it, they will look like a bunch of complete morons...
Lets not forget Belgium's law which allowed prosecution of accused war criminals anywhere in the world in Belgian courts. (The Belgian Parliament has since scaled back that legislation).
Thanks to intense pressuring from Yankees who didn't want Belgium prosecute Henry Kissinger...
Well I (and many of my mates) would have loved to vote for labour, if they hadn't promised to pull the troops out of iraq by christmas. It doesn't matter why we went any more, but if we all pack up and go home, everybody will be worse off. It would damage our relations with the US, and it would in no way improve relations with our neighbours, or stop the alleged hordes of terrorists that are supposedly trying to kill us.
What a pathetic little spineless sucker. You're so spineless that you DESERVE to be thoroughly fucked and screwed by a yankee.
The only reason we can get away with six nuclear reactors bobbing up and down in San Diego's bay right at this moment is because people really honestly don't know they're there. They're not in the news, they have a low physical profile. "Well yeah", nuclear subs have been operating in secret.
Bah. I remember many times passing by a submarine base near Kittery (Maine) to go SCUBA-diving and waving to the submarine crews (who waved back) playing basketball to idle the time right beside their boat...
Just imagine this: people on the road could have a "SnitchCam" on the back of their rearview mirror that they could use to record your bad driving habits and then send it to the police department for $$$ (as suggested in the article). Is there ANYONE who has not broken some traffic law at one time or another? We'd all be getting fines sent to us in the mail on a regular basis, probably.
4 years ago, in University, we had a class of computer project management. The teacher's day job is project manager for $FEDERAL_LAW_ENFORCEMENT_AGENCY.
In the course of the term, teams had to prepare computer projects that had to be used in a law-enforcement context. Needless to say, the class wasn't exactly enthusiastic at doing something for the police...
When we chose a project, I proposed black boxes for automobiles that would monitor driver behaviour, and automatically issue tickets for every traffic infraction. Of course, that wasn't popular with my team!
But I proposed it to the teacher anyways. He went livid, and abruptly dismissed with "that's no good, besides, that's coming anyways"...
The solution is not to watch the police from outside. It is to watch it from INSIDE.
Instead of military conscription, civilians would be conscripted by the police, where they could watch from inside. When sufficiently "infiltrated" with civilians, the police would be very hard-pressed to rape civil liberties.
Some 45 years ago, France was on the verge of civil war; there were several coup attemps, most were foiled when the conscripted troops refused to march against the civil powers.
A minister in Kentucky is even exhorting his flock to switch to Firefox because it blocks those pesky Viagra ads.
What's wrong with Viagra? And why a minister would be against viagra??? I mean, viagra can save many a marriage by enabling the husband to get a hard-on with his wife, instead of having to go to a younger and sexier chick.
I love Apple and I love the spirit of competittion, I have been a Mac user much of my life. But why are Macs always treated like the retarded child of the computer industry?
That's because Macs ARE the retarded child of the computer industry. They are marketed at computer illeterati who are so glad they suddenly "can" use something as complex as a computer that they don't see how much they are ripped-off and overcharged by Apple.

However, since Shrub certainly didn't do it while he had 4 years to do it, we can be sure he won't if he wins four more wars.
