These people used money to affect political change. The records exist because the public has for a long time decided that such information is important.
Further they are New organizations researching a story about a directly political activity.
The Wisconsin legislator is an elected official trying to force access to the research of someone acting as a journalist.
I thought the Republicans were the evil ones trying to take our rights away... weird.
They already have over the past 8 years...
Fortunately there are organizations that have the ear of the Democrats and will work to fight bad legislation like this. The ACLU comes to mind.
I find this all absurd. It's likely that it will take us more than 50 years to get back to the moon, we should be ready to be on mars by now! And it's likely that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin will have passed away before we get back!
All this money they spent on just reusing the shuttles engines is insane. They should have designed a rocket that doesn't need a solid booster, and one that has fool proof protection for the astronauts.
Here's my idea
1. Place the parachutes near the tail of the rocket so expensive liquid rocket nozzles are not damaged.
2. 1-2" thick steel plate to protect the crew capsule, make it an inverse cone so it will help throw the capsule away from any explosions.
3. Your not climate police your rocket engineers, stop wasting your money on satellites that you can't even get safely into orbit.
Put three marines on each ship with 3 shoulder fired rockets. Its a lot less expensive than building additional ships and wasting gas sailing around the area. You just set up areas where the ships stop to allow the marines aboard and a place to let them off.
Are they trying to bankrupt themselves? Thats an unthinkable amount of data. And a huge amount of equipment. And will have a huge environmental impact. I hope they cracked cold fusion cause they will need it to run all the data centers they will need.
Since when is it the FBI job to handle late payments? Either they have far overstepped there bounds or this is not the real reason. If you don't pay a bill you get disconnected then sued.
Perhaps the phytoplankton could be used as a simple fuel source for steam generation/electric generation? At least then we wouldn't be adding more CO2 to the air.
Why don't they just instruct the worm to upload an executable that will delete the worm and then itself?
Or if the previous is no possible due to authentication built in they could cause a buffer overun in the worm. Maybe they could even use the buffer overun to delete or damage the worm so it can't run again.
First off I think the school officials should be charged as pedophiles, the girl was 13.
Second, If they really needed to know if she had pills you call the police and allow them to find out.
That would be a big problem they have not thought about, how would you get Opera or Firefox if you had no browser in the first place?
A basic browser that is always there is a must have in an internet based world.
If the EC wants to help consumers they should make Microsoft provide a version of Silverlight that works in Opera. And also make there websites and web applications work in every broswer.
I find certain gay humor funny, but this is a distasteful one. Your comment promotes the idea that a parent shouldn't be happy with there child if he or she is gay.
Imagine if you where a gay child and had a father that said to you, at least your not gay.
Children who are gay and have to grow up in that atmosphere often have problems with confidence and self worth. It can and has lead to suicide.
First off, Sony distributed the Cd's with that software, that makes it there responsibility to know beforehand what they are selling. This is a crude analogy but if a company sold porn that used a 17 year old in the film, even if said person looked older, who would be held responsible? Would it be the porn producer, the agent that helped find said person. Looking at this more lets say one of the distributors of said videography didn't know about said 17 year old and wasn't informed by the producer, do you think he would be held responsible?
Second, it seems to me that Sony publicly admitted to distributing root kits. If the company being sued has the original signed contract of what the software was supposed to do then they would be off the hook.
If they want to tier the Internet then they should do it based on the type of communication, that is the only way in which any increased performance will be realised. Trying to charge for the added speed will only make it worse as competing companies will prioritize different traffic and only cause more bandwidth problems. There solution only serves to put money in there pockets.
Heres my idea the telecoms need to stop being cheap and actually strengthen the backbone of the Internet. Throwing added processing and equipment into the mix will only hurt overall performance. Even prioritised traffic will slow down a bit since they are adding the overhead of sorting which packets get priority and then adding priority tags to them, which then need to be read and sorted at every switch in the backbone of there network and eventually removed if the packet needs to travel onto another telecoms network.
Sounds like what Sony did. They should be sued for this kind of activity.
It's strange there is no Goggle cache or a copy of the site on the WayBackMachine.
If the EU wants to regulate something like this i suggest they invent there own formats and develop there own Hollywood. The deal was made in the US and the standards bodies for these formats are also in the US. They just wanna feel important when there not.

You don't even know what the fairness doctrine is from your statement.
Only he can, by his own actions, "erode public trust in the department".

Is it just me or does it seem idiotic to assume that a map made in the 1930s is accurate enough to make predictions about loosing ice.

I personally don't want microwave transmiters all around me or next to my head thanks. This reminds me of the foot-o-scope. http://www.museumofquackery.com/devices/shoexray.htm
Didn't they just give apple a patent for a similar device, basically a web cam integrated into an LCD screen.

They should be worrying about fixing the memory leaks.
Since when is writing an important skill for an IT person?
Porn can be a substitute for the real thing, and if I'm not mistaken they have a serious problem with HIV.

Does anyone know if they used the resources from a grid computing project like World Community Grid?
The difference is that they would be able to get your DNA without your knowledge.
