Probably brought on by the audience being unable to figure out when the new episodes might actually be airing. They've had nearly random 'seasons' for a couple years with little promotion. They must have offended an executive somewhere, perhaps scuffed his shoe or took the last roll in the cafeteria.
It is widely understood that the various intelligence sources were INSTRUCTED to get evidence for WMDs if it existed or not.
What hindsight? I predicted that Bush would drag us back into Iraq before he was even elected. He seemed to believe it would stimulate the economy.
The U.N. inspectors were stating plainly at the time that there was no credible evidence for WMDs in Iraq, but they were shouted down.
So yes, there was a hell of a lot of falsification going on and the cost was trillions of dollars, over half a million dead (counting secondary effects), our international reputation in the toilet.
It would cost more to cover therepy for their employees. When the customer calls 3 times a day and says "I don't remember if the password is 1234 like my luggage of 4321 like my ATM (or is that the other way around), could you set it to something i'll remember?" it takes a huge effort and creates a lot of stress to refrain from answering "I doubt it"
I have and they remain not as bad as snookering the country into a war based on fabricated evidence. Even some of the R's supporters have come to realize that.
That only applies to telephone service and they are well paid for it.
Most of the municipal internet has come about when the telcos flatly refused to service the area. Because they are the greedy bastards they are, they fought the municipal deployments anyway. They wanted to keep their options open even at the cost of leaving people using dialup and smoke signals.
It's funny, the Rs want to wield federal power to prevent people from banding together and agreeing to stand up a broadband ISP for themselves through the most natural vehicle for providing a public service. How is that at all compatible with the claimed desire to keep the government from interfering with people's lives
If you think USPS is slow, you must have been in a coma for 20-30 years. They aren't overnight, but they don't charge overnight prices either. Express really moves right along and at a good price.
In those cases, the data might need to be withheld for a time, but it should all eventually be made public and should be in an open and free format when that day comes.
It absolutely should NOT be in an undocumented format openable only by a piece of proprietary software that hasn't been available for 10 years.
In the unlikely event that there remain compelling reasons for secrecy decades later, there will also be a strong need to still be able to actually read the documents. Free and open formats win again.
Unions are individuals who choose to join together to push back against the corporate collective. Sometimes, they also work against other individuals who would hand all the power right back to the corporate collective.
Because if you shut down the whole tower, you make things real for a bunch of quiet non-protesting citizens as well. The objective is to just affect the people who already know Big Brother is alive and well.
Yes, because anyone who disagrees with you is clearly just ignorant.
Hey, you're the one who said you have no idea how to see a non-rootkit virus/trojan. I believe you referred to yourself as "nothing to hide from". I was being politely quiet on the subject.
In general though, they face a LOT more public anger if they shut down an entire area. It would be even worse if even 1 single 911 call doesn't go through. The kill switch won't block 911 calls and will allow them to shut down coordinators based on cell traffic. Perhaps selectively enough that they could try denying the whole thing.
Finally, I remember that when I was younger (mind you, this was back in the 1970's), having to provide identification and being subjected to searches before being able to travel was the scope of godless Communists and tinpot dictators.
THIS! A million times over.
I specifically remember my social studies teacher in elementary school telling us the U.S. is good and Russia is bad and then explaining why. One reason is because in Russia you had to show your papers just to travel. Another was that in Russia the KGB listened to your phone calls.
The commies didn't die out, they just took over the U.S.
It is a constructive violation of our rights and is only continuing because the courts practically break their necks looking the other way.
Some argue you weren't forced to make a right turn, you were just prohibited from going forward, backing up, turning left or staying where you were. Constructively though, you were forced to turn right.
A strict constructionist wouldn't be bothered in the least if automobiles existed or not back then. They would only be concerned with the freedom of movement and point out that by car is a method of movement and therefor carries that freedom.
A strict constructionist would also recognize that the Constitution is a complete enumeration of the government's power but is far from a complete enumeration of the rights of the people.
Based on that, the extreme argument would be that cars and planes didn't exist back then therefor the government has been granted no authority over them at all. But that would be going to a silly extreme
If *I* am the other party, it is not reasonable to forbid *ME* from voluntarily disclosing the information. Mine would be the only legitimate privacy interest.
It is easy to get complacent about that since even testing is usually quite stable, it's just not promised to be.
It is worth considering though that it is nice that installing stable and backporting is even an option. For an individual perhaps it's not worth it, but in a corporate environment it might work out to be reasonable.
Actually, those all magically went away along with the overgrowth that obscured the curve (and hid the cop car) once the courts cracked down on the practice.

Do you have a wide enough view of the company to be sure?
It is possible everything's fine there. It's also possible that your department doesn't happen to be the place it does it's screwing.
Any action short of becoming a cave dwelling hermit (illegal BTW) leaves us being abused by some corporation or another.

I'm not all that fond of either one, but sitting out here in 3rd party territory, the Ds seem to be less packed with idiots and crooks.

Are you sure about that?

Protests are coordinated by cellphone these days. The government would love to shut down protests no matter how legal they are.

I believe he was thinking of R22. Certainly a related problem.
They probably rigged their SUVs to actually manufacture CCl4 and immediately release it into the atmosphere just because.
If *I* am the other party, it is not reasonable to forbid *ME* from voluntarily disclosing the information. Mine would be the only legitimate privacy interest.
The government itself has none.

It is worth considering though that it is nice that installing stable and backporting is even an option. For an individual perhaps it's not worth it, but in a corporate environment it might work out to be reasonable.
I asked why the *GOVERNMENT* would have a right to privacy, not why *I* would.
Actually, those all magically went away along with the overgrowth that obscured the curve (and hid the cop car) once the courts cracked down on the practice.
Or break the law even more and drive on the shoulder or the oncoming lane to avoid the log tyruck.
None of that is at all optimal, but are nevertheless plausible reasons why ignoring the speed limit may be the safer option.
The difference is they don't keep badgering you about it. They especially don't try to block your path on your way out the door.
They also aren't generally the only store reachable from your home.
