Just let the decision making rest with the VP, what could go wrong...?
The Emperor: [to the Senate] In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years.

Padmé: [to Bail Organa] So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.
Who modded this funny? Parent is exactly right... If this happens, watch how many people get detained mid flight and arrested after the plane has to make an emergency landing due to people telling eachother to STFU... Should be fun...

Well, the article did say the body was made out of plywood, not steel. So a couple slugs from his shotgun (if he has one) would also do the trick...
I don't know how much is truly spent on this program to detect nuclear material, and i'm sure if i did i'd have more questions than our government would be willing to answer. That said, I support the effort.
The worst part is, this post-9/11 monitoring has caught exactly zero dirty bombers. Ok, point taken. But what about deterence? Akmed Jackoff and his small crew of would-be terrorists know that they will very likely be caught before carrying out this type of attack. Yea, they will just attempt something else, but might the hope be that their 'plan b' attack is less deadly in scope?
If a group wants to hit us, it's going to happen. But throwing up the white flag and not even trying to defend against substantial attacks is ludicrous. My 2 cents.
I can back this comment from experience. I've had a verizon aircard issued to me up until a few months ago from work for the last 2yrs, my experience is however limited to metro-Boston and Chicago markets. The signal strength can go from great to only 2 bars (~60-90kbps) in large buildings, but i was generally pleased and able to VPN with work with at least 2 bars (@1 bar the connection was more hit or miss and the connection would often fail).
Other food for thought, when i used this card (v620) there was a point I can remember when its driver had not been updated for over a year. This really aggrivated me, because due to some driver conflict in Xp whenever i resumed from a standby the device was completely unresponsive, requiring a reboot. Very frustrating. I have no idea how the drivers are now for the newer cards, but these kinds of things could occur.
From TFA,
My admittedly worthless opinions on pop culture, politics, the media and my personal past were quickly linked by sites like Fark, Gawker and Pajiba and I found my readership growing exponentially. During this time, I still didn't consider telling my superiors at CNN what I was doing on the side, simply because, having never been provided with an employee handbook, I hadn't seen a pertinent rule and never signed any agreement stipulating that I wouldn't write on my own time. I hadn't divulged my place of work and wasn't writing about what went on at the office. The views expressed on my blog, Deus Ex Malcontent, were mine and mine alone. I represented no one but myself, and I didn't make a dime doing it.
I could not agree more. However, when we let elected officals pander to these conglomerates it only gets worse... If you don't like it, write a letter to your state's Senators, Representatives, and most importantly... VOTE.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...
And by defend, i mean fight against intrusive federal coercion, be it through mandatory ID (papers) or otherwise.
Haven't you ever heard the phrase "give someone an inch, they'll take a mile"? Surely its best not to take these things lying down. I think you are entirely too optimistic about the intentions of any person in a position of power. Just because this is the US does not mean we are invulnerable to those bad intentioned, lustful and greedy.
In the midst of a reply about our new overlords, they struck with a mighty tumultuous fury taking down Slashdot! Greeted with this 503 Unavailable, i was awe struck! Our overlords are truely powerful deities!
No really, i couldnt get back on Slashdot for at least 10min(started 6:05pmEST), then i stopped trying and likely exacerbating the problem. Crazyness.
I don't do business with companies that treat me like a criminal...period. I'd no sooner buy DRM protected content than shop in a store that frisks all their customers on the way out the door
Bingo brother.
Bad situation, definitely...
And before I say this and everyone mods me for flamebait, i'm just echoing what I think is right...
STOP BUYING DRM PROTECTED MEDIA. Problem solved. Read a book, peruse Slashdot, talk to your wife... i dunno, but giving the hollywood pigs their chow will not bring about any change. mod away, sry.
I hope so myself, as i'm a regular reader of his blog.
However, if recent history is any guide; Think Secret shutdown and.Mac Flaw just in the last week...
I believe this is indeed real. Though, I hope i've been duped.
If the guy wanted to "protect" those files from being easily viewed, he could have just put a password on his local account created another admin account for the tech. 10 to 1 the techs would not attempt to break in to view his files because: 1. They wouldn't need to. 2. They probably have no understanding how to do so. 3. The time it would take for them to figure it out wouldnt allow them to pull it off-if it was one tech trying to take a peak when management wasnt looking.
Obviously he doesnt have the smarts for this little step, so i don't know why i wasted my time typing it.. That said i'm glad the guy is an idiot, and hopefully is now on a gov watch list and will get caught again soon.
Knowing nothing about the potential danger of this "wonder", does anyone worry just a lil bit that this thing at 20' by 6' could probably fit snuggly on the back of a flatbed truck!?(granted it might be a tad heavy...)
Portable BOOM, wonderful.
Q: How many members of Congress does it take to change the wireless spectrum?
A: None. There is nothing wrong with the spectrum; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of signal strength are delusional spin from the liberal media. That 360 has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the communications effort. Why do you hate freedom?!?
so, what they are trying to say is ripping music into mp3 for use on computer is not fair use... ok. What about buying the mp3s then burning them on a cd??? Still infringement?
RIAA, go pork yourselves into an early grave and do us all a big favor, please and thank you.
I can't help but compare the zealous support for this device to a joke, it's a personal favorite of mine. I'm sure we could have some fun replacing 'lightbulb' with 'kindle', enjoy.
