NIST's cloud definition is pretty spot on. They define cloud as having the following characteristics:
On-demand self-service Broad network access Resource pooling Rapid elasticity Measured service...all working together to provide the following service models:
Software as a Service Platform as a Service Infrastructure as a Service...hosted in one of the following deployment models:
Private cloud Community cloud Public cloud Hybrid cloud
Anyway, that's the stripped down list without details. The short paper (with details!) I pulled that from is here:
WWII. I've never really understood it either. WWI, Napoleon, etc. -- there's a long history of them being anything *but* cowards and surrender-monkeys. Sure, they collapsed like a house of cards in WWII, but the Brits packing up and hightailing it back across the channel *certainly* wasn't cowardice (harrumph!).
Now, that being said, I don't fault the Brits *or* the French. The Germans were in prime ass-stomping form at that point -- they had technological superiority, fanatical troops, and superior tactics. Their military leadership wasn't too shabby, either. France's fall was inevitable.
If the driver doesn't know how to safely operate his vehicle you bet your ass I'm blaming him. There's no excuse for the idiot at Renault not being able to help, but that doesn't leave the operator blameless. How to deal with this was common fucking sense when I was learning how to drive -- have we gotten this stupid that quickly?
Of course, if there's no way to either shift into neutral or kill the engine Renault should get raked over the coals. That's just unsafe.
Perhaps. If Hitler had died early enough his replacement might have not have decided to turn on the Soviet Union, causing the war in Europe to go on on longer than it did. Opening up the eastern front was the biggest cause of Germany's defeat -- it diverted way too many resources from France and Italy and just ground them down. Of course, come August 1945 the whole thing probably would've still ended, but I do wonder where the bombs would've been dropped. Of course, not-Hitler also might not have been so keen on exterminating "undesirables". That's not an insignificant number of lives. Who knows?
SOME states (maybe most -- I'm not sure) require training but not all. Washington State, for example, does not mandate training to obtain a concealed pistol license.
The CIA is simply the tool used to do the job. Put the blame where it really belongs -- they're an executive branch agency. Just because they operate with enough shadiness to shield the President with plausible deniability doesn't mean they aren't doing his dirty work.
What the hell are you talking about? Obama has been in office for two and a half years now. The dems have had control of the senate for four years. When, exactly, are they going to start getting things back on track?
The video game industry is just the new scapegoat. Back in the 80s if it wasn't Dungeons & Dragons it was Judas Priest, or Ozzy, or AC/DC, or whoever the hell else got singled out that week. I'm guessing there were studies done back then trying to link music or role playing games to violence -- any idea where those results could be found?
Unfortunate, yes, but even with PGM's there is going to be collateral damage. Whether it's an intelligence error, a malfunction of the targeting laser, or just debris/shrapnel from a good hit, there WILL be civilian losses. The important thing is that the number of those is only the smallest fraction of what it would've been even 20 years ago.
Sounds way too damned expensive. Japan has had cable radio with 400+ channels for years. It was pretty cool, too -- listen to all Beatles all the time until you decide you need the smooth sounds of Perry Como. Anyway, point is it was a damn good idea that I'm sure cost nowhere NEAR the prices US companies are trying to gouge out of us. Why the hell don't we do what they did?!?!?!
As many people have previously stated though a lot of it is absolute crap. Depending on who it is at this point I may not want to send them $ because, well, they may not be there next week -- yeah, fuck me, right? Besides, that's just somebody else that's got some of my personal info that can sell it to the highest bidder when they tank. No thanks.
There certainly have been services and such that I've subscribed to in the past but more and more I'm losing interest. More than once service and standards have gone down the shitter a few months after signing up, so it's really a big question of diminishing returns.
Probably NOT going to hit a single target. This was designed for military usage, after all, so an area effect would be more desirable. Human rights groups may protest it, but it's a damn sight more humane than a mortar round.
Aircraft targetting shouldn't be much of an issue. If the TADS system in the Apache can keep a chaingun on target in-flight, this should be a piece of cake.
Those sites are on virutal hosts. For example, www.edmarkey.org rides on the same server as www.yirahaparicio.net which is categorized as porn (among other things). This is something that has always been a problem. Per usual, Peacefire misrepresents -- it's hardly something to do with malicious intent. It does suck that (in this case at least) innocent politicians are getting hit. I just hope any legislation they try to push through is sane and reasonable. The last thing we need is Bush setting policy. Strategery!!!
Hmmm.... Well, that's partially correct. Redhat was incorrectly blocked for a while (tagged as e-commerce if I remember properly), while slashdot is listed as a message board -- hardly an incorrect listing. Hell, is anything EVER 100% though? We live in an imperfect world filled with imperfect software. Expecting a filtering package to be any more reliable than, say, Linux or Windows is just plain silly.
Does anyone know how accurate Peacefire's stats really are? Bess is configured by the individual site administrator to block different categories based on their local acceptable use policy. You also have the ability to block sites individually. Does Peacefire take all this into account or are they just spreading more FUD?
Hell, I don't know if the story is an April Fool's joke or not, but it wouldn't be the first time something like this had been done. I seem to remember there being messages in movies long ago that sent people streaming to the concession stands for goodies. When I flip through my old Playboys I can even find hidden messages and such in advertisements. Anyway, I thought that there was legislation passed preventing this sort of message insertion. Anybody have any idea on the legal aspects of this?

Not really, no. I might miss a woman who looses a boob though.
I *highly* doubt you'd miss a woman that unleashes a breasticle. I think it'd be the opposite of that, in fact.

Well, what good is a torrent site without seeds?
I think that's the only thing blocking reciprocity. You do have to be 21 to get a Washington State CPL. http://www.atg.wa.gov/ConcealedWeapons/Reciprocity.aspx gives a state-by-state breakdown for Washington.

That's the problem with *douchebags*. Shitty people will be shitty no matter the political or economic system.
Unfortunately, we here in the US often aren't good enough to appreciate the first amendment either.

Cheap phones, no contract. I've got no complaints, been using them for a couple years now.
