Classified research doesn't belong in universities. They aren't equipped to handle information controls. It's that simple.
But the FBI, of course, needs more money to investigate this issue. When the deficit is sky high and government budgets are likely to be cut, it is very important to shout loudly about the importance of your agency.
The primary purpose of the hearing is to instill fear into anyone else who might have access to sensitive information the public might want to know.
The primary purpose of military justice is to support the military's missions of deterring wars and winning them. In fact, that's supposed to be the purpose of everything the military does.
They're going to make some of their employees very disgruntled. Their company depends on keeping a bunch of servers running. Am I the only one who sees the potential reliability problem here?
If they've spent the last 20 years close to the poverty line, they're probably never going to make enough money to pay back the loan, so we might as well forget about it.
You're correct from the technical perspective. But my point is that a CTO of a fortune 500 company would rather spend more money than make changes that could impact uptime. "If it ain't broke, and breaking it would cost you your job, don't fix it"
The organizations that still use mainframes are up-time fanatics with business models that suffer when a system is unavailable for a few minutes. As a result, they're so conservative that if they were running the country we'd still be under British rule. As long as mainframes work, they'll keep using them rather than risk changing to a different system.
Note: I'm an IBM employee, but this is my personal opinion, not IBM's. Technically speaking, corporations don't have opinions, except maybe "more money good, less money bad".
I have never been in a theme park in a place where the wages are as low as they are in Jordan. I suspect that:
1. They'll be over staffed by our standards. 2. Security will be walking around with their sniffing dogs, all the way from the parking lot to the gate.
It will probably be a bit more difficult. How much do you want to bet there will be explosive sniffing dogs and metal detectors at the entrance? It would be vulnerable, but an attack will be harder.
Most of the Jordanian population lives in the west, close to the Jordan river - not in the east. It is about a thousand miles from Amman (the capital) or Aqaba (the one port and the location of the park) to the Persian Gulf.
I think this is stimulus spending. Abdullah doesn't want to have the problems of his neighbors to the north (Syria) and south-west (Egypt).
With luck and really good security, they might be able to get a lot of tourists from Israel.
The alphabet started in Phoenicia, but that only means that the Arabic alphabet and the Latin alphabet are cognates. The letters look very different, the direction of writing is opposite, etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet).
You mean the ones invented in India (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals)? Yes. But the difference is that everybody in the west uses those numerals. OTOH, Arabs still use their own alphabet for almost everything.
If he is going to live in Silicon Valley, he will pay one of the highest state tax rates in the country. Although I don't know how much of that goes for his less fortunate peers, and how much to groups that have lobbying power.
The issue is that not all engineers like writing and are competent at it. For those that aren't, it might make sense to outsource the task to an English major.
The 12 tablets were written around ~450 BC. This is about two centuries after Draco's written code, the first written code of Athens ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(lawgiver) ). The written legal codes in Exodus and Deuteronomy probably predate that, and the one in Deuteronomy specifically states it should be taught to everybody.
The Hammurabi code is much earlier, but I don't know how common literacy was back then.
Most people back then couldn't have passed the test either. They probably had less university graduates per capita than we have PhDs.
I could do most of the math, and some of the history and geography. Memorization used to be a lot more important, back when books were more expensive and google not even a dream.

UNESCO calls some sites in Israel "world heritage sites". Considering how
Considering that UNESCO doesn't actually do anything in Israel, if they kicked Israel out the reaction would be a big yawn.

Good point. What makes things even worse is that the terrorists don't have to actually pull off an attack. Just threatening it might be enough.

We're talking about surveillance cameras located in police cars. Do you:
1. Attack the car with the cops still in it, getting into a violent confrontation with people trained to fight.
or
2. Break into the police station at night to destroy the surveillance cameras, when the place is, well, also guarded.
Try voting the bastards out. It's hard, but a lot less bloody.

Notice that he is using our alphabet, not the one used in Arabic.
I guess they meant "wide", considering this is horizontal.

Aristotle could afford not to worry about making a living, because he was an aristocrat with slaves working for him. We aren't.
Being a US citizen doesn't help you in a country where you're also a local citizen. If he is also a Thai citizen, he is treated as such in Thailand.

Education, and the costs there of, should not be operated on a supply and demand curve, especially not one so fine grained as by course of study.
Why? We're not talking about elementary school here, but about a significant spending decision by supposed adults.

How are they going to bastardize the interstate commerce clause to force this piece of shit regulation on the states and the citizens of each state?
They won't require it. They'll just threaten to withhold interstate funding from any state that refuses to comply.
