Flamebait? Seriously? That's pretty funny. I guess that's what I get for arguing about how illogical the parent's post was. Maybe I should avoid emotion, you bitches can't seem to handle anything past a whisper. Bunch of candy asses IMHO.
I never said a thing about the nexus one, the parent did and I went off on a rant about how it doesn't even matter because it's irrelevant. I could give two shits about the nexus one.
You know I see this type of response here all the time and you know what? It's not a legit response. Just because there was no lawsuit for a completely different product does not mean this one is baseless or unfair. Anytime an apple product is shat upon someone has to come out of the woodwork and point out another inferior product, like that makes it all okay. Well, no, it doesn't.
That is a good question and now I see your point. I'm not sure about the rules there. I think these type of questions should be asked though and I think that's what these groups are saying. They want to be sure no one is skirting the rules and a little inquisitive inspection is probably warranted. In such a position your expectation for privacy is limited, just because the power you wield could easily be abused. It's not asking too much IMHO. They know this going in.
Nah, you have to register as a federal lobbyist, the Lobbying Disclosure Act and Honest Leadership and Open Government Act cover this. There isn't any vague area here.
Once you get into a public trust position you are expected to keep your contact with certain people, like lobbyists and contractors, strictly professional. If you have a personal relationship with someone you have to work with in this capacity it will be a problem and you will be expected to break it off or quit your position. There are rules outlining everything from gifts to phone calls. There isn't any room to maneuver here with the "yeah but what about the grandmom that gave us $100" defense. This isn't about her. This is about your "friend" over at Big Oil telling you to keep cameras off the beach in Pensacola because it might look bad, etc. A legit need for oversight.
Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going. For my sake you must stay, for if you go away, you'll spoil this party I am throwing. I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer through, but I am telling you, I must be going.
Never mind shaking the foundation of capitalism at the same time, validating administration critics that they will use opportunism to favor socialization of some sectors. I'm not sure I can ever agree with seizing a company because it's basically reneging on an agreement between the government and the company. These circumstances should be accounted for by raising the liability and that will help slow the amount of errors they make because put simply their insurance, whatever it may be, will go through the roof as the risk goes up.
I would bet we will see quite a lot of speculation and price fluctuations soon based on how congress reacts to this gigantic mess. They've already voted against raising the liability once.
True. he did live on after many clashes and I'll give him that. I was just trying to point out that Gandhi was shot by radicals eventually. Not really faulting him for that, it's just a tragic world we live in. IMHO he was one of the bravest souls to ever walk the earth. Right up there with Jesus in his ability to face violence with just spirit. He'll live forever because of that.
I think it's more about the Pakistani government trying to appease the hardliners. They tend to kowtow to the religious factions in the country, because without them they cannot maintain power.
I agree about the aspect though - if your beliefs require faith, how can you ever force it on someone? Faith by nature comes from within. No external force can change that.
If another person claims a "record" on the number of bugs fixed in an apple release out I'm gonna jump off a fucking cliff.
Bugs are not good. Lots of bugs are worse. Fixing them? You don't get a medal, you should have done it right the first time. Yes it's good to patch them, but it's not something to break out the champagne on. When I fix a huge bug list my boss says "about time", not "good job! way to work!".
But there are already systems in place to handle these issues inside the DoD. This guy isn't who they want. They want the person in their midst leaking information, going around the chain of command and leaking things to the press, so they can nail their balls to a wall and retrain them on proper procedure. They (DoD/JAG) have to follow the law even if they don't like it.
In their make believe land is all email is on subject, new and refreshing with a clean scent? What about web pages, are all of those deemed useful by "the analysis nozzle"? What about RSS feeds? Podcasts?
Like this post for instance. Maybe someone will read it, maybe not. Am I curing cancer over here by posting on slashdot? No. It's called useless conversation and sometimes great ideas emerge from it. But most of the time it just helps us feel human. If you think that's a bad thing, then I respectfully disagree.
You're shit out of luck because _we_ pay the bills here and _we_ build the websites so yes it's not being out of line to think that we should control how it's delivered. Take your entitlement to someplace that honors that currency. I'm a hacker too, but this whole "I want everything in the world my way" shit is getting old. Live with it, or don't. But it's not an "issue" in any way as far as I'm concerned. Don't like it? Go elsewhere.

It has reception issues, as the parent to my post pointed out.

This sounds like a great time for Groucho Marx's "Hello, I must be going":
Hello, I must be going.
I cannot stay,
I came to say
I must be going.
I'm glad I came
but just the same
I must be going.
For my sake you must stay,
for if you go away,
you'll spoil this party
I am throwing.
I'll stay a week or two,
I'll stay the summer through,
but I am telling you,
I must be going.

As Ghandi said, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. THEN THEY FIGHT YOU. Then you win." '
Where's the part where they shoot you dead?
Yeah this will be SUPER until we sign a petition that attacks the government or any other group of people that can come and stomp you out on a whim.
This is sleight-of-hand vengeance. I hope it doesn't bite us later.
A Steganography of sorts, hiding data in plain sight. I can see groups using this to communicate covertly without attracting attention.
When I just read that my heart kind of sank. Is there anything more tragic then a group of people in supposed authority harming another man? Sigh.
Redundant has to be the dumbest fucking tag ever. When I posted no one else had. So fuck you guys.
Ice Cube huh. West Siiiiide represents yet again.

Agreed. I've seen Top Secret/SCI with full lifestyle poly for fairly low level positions. H

Yeah, follow Lexie Belle on twitter and tell me it's useless. I get good use out of it thank you very much.
You must not follow Wil Wheaton.

I'm gonna make a were-pig! Delicious aggressive angry bacon.
I'm wondering if they are to make thumbnails like chrome does for a "new tab". I use this as my default page.
