Yeah, I use Google Apps (don't knock it--good business-class SLA that secures my data, Device Management, etc.) and Google Connect syncs all of my documents onto Google Docs transparently from Microsoft Word. Imagine just saving all my files on there directly. Hmmmm..... Even more points if it saves versioning. That would make me not use Microsoft SharePoint.
I use TrueCrypt on my Dropbox to make a secure volume that I just drop my stuff into. It's annoying to have to log in and stuff but it's still worth it for the added security.
Yep. One unanswered question is whether or not the emails and electronic exchanges were logged using official servers. Sarah Palin allegedly used her personal email account to discuss state business outside the scrutiny of disclosure laws. Closing down a bunch of schools without a public hearing per se over unlogged email exchanges would be contrary to good, transparent government.
The military didn't foresee a bunch of regional conflicts like Grenada, Iraq I, Afghanistan, Iraq II, Libya, and the like. Everyone was scared about Russia, and the need to penetrate its sophisticated air defenses to deliver bombs on command structure. The B-52 never would have survived such a mission, which is why they built the B-1 and B-2. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, which wasn't foreseen, this was all rendered moot. Furthermore, with the rise of the drones, such as the newly-designed Avenger, and stealth cruise missiles such as the JASSM, the need for a manned, stealth heavy bomber has dropped so the B-52 can be extended indefinitely. In the latest war game, which appeared to invade China, F-22 and F-35 were used along with conventional aircraft to breach enemy air defenses with the JASSM stealth cruise missile, then followup forces mopped up afterwards. The need for a heavy first strike with stealth has receded into the background due to the type of war that has to be fought.
The B-1-B isn't used only for its higher speed but also because of its extended loiter time due to its swing-wing design. During the height of the war, there was a B-1-B on station all the time ready to dash to a new target and drop bombs to support troops in contact with the enemy.
The hilarious part is that this is probably why all of their missile launches have been failures. If they keep killing or torturing the guys who are responsible for each failed launch, the next guys have to start from scratch without the benefits of learning exactly what went wrong. So let's let them keep doing this and laugh at how stupid and shortsighted they're being.
Paradoxically, the antivaxxers probably don't believe in evolution either, doubly proving that though what you don't know can't hurt you, what you don't believe in can certainly kill you.
How does the IRS need some trimming? They're the guys who enforce the tax laws. If you trimmed them, then that means people will get away with not paying their fair share of taxes. That sounds great for you and me, but when our country flies into debt because millionaires and billionaires are avoiding billions in tax payments, you'll be singing a different tune altogether.
The tax LAWS themselves need to be changed but the IRS needs to be around to enforce whatever laws are passed.
Any thought I had about getting a hybrid evaporated when I saw that the Ford Fusion 2013 will have a turbo-charged, direct-injection I4 2.0 L engine that puts out 237 HP. The Ford Edge is a cross-over SUV with that same engine and gets 21 MPG in city driving. CITY DRIVING. I am going to bet that the smaller Ford Fusion will get better fuel efficiency than that.
Hybrids have their highest advantage over regular cars when used extensively in the city with lots of starts and stops. Unfortunately, it's also difficult to rack up 100,000 miles of pure city driving.
Well, that's different than this. The problem with the cruise missile was that it was using the heat from the nuclear reactor to directly drive the plane. That emits radiation, and well, makes it hard to stop. The UAV concept would use it to generate electricity, then use that to drive electrical engines.
Did you read the case? The guy was a passenger in his wife's car, which was pulled over. The cop ran a check on him and there was an arrest warrant out for him because of an unpaid fine. The fine was already paid, of course, but the system wasn't updated and the arrest warrant issued. The dude was tossed in jail for a week and strip searched before they realized that it was a mistake.
Question: is not paying a fine enough to get you arrested and strip searched nowadays?
I was going to mod this thread but I had to respond. This is already done, and it's disgusting as an American to have to put up with this. My dad was pulled over for talking on the cell phone. I was sitting next to him and no one in the car had a cell phone out. He wasn't even using GPS or any other device that could have been confused for a cell phone, nor was anyone else. The cop pulled us over and started looking into the car with a flashlight (IN DAYTIME LOL) and checked the registration stickers and the like. He started harassing my dad about not having his driver's license on him (the DMV said they mailed it to him but it didn't come in--twice!). He asked for my ID, and I handed him my state bar ID and a business card that said I was a lawyer. The cop went back to his car for a minute, then came back, returned my ID, and said we were free to go.
What if I weren't on the car? My dad is terrified of authority because of his youth in a totalitarian country. He would have been arrested and god knows what else.
In this Supreme Court case, the guy was arrested because his wife was pulled over and a search revealed that he had an unpaid fine and resulting arrest warrant. Turned out the fine was already paid but due to a clerical error, it wasn't recorded properly. So when Republicans say "don't worry about this if you don't do evil things that get you arrested," I just want to yell BULLSHIT. You can get arrested for anything nowadays except for shooting unarmed black youths.
Yep. Fracking demonstrates that absolutely no problem can result from drilling on land. There is no water underground that can be contaminated, and even if there were, it's not as though anyone relies on that filthy ground water to survive! Drill, baby, drill! Government is bad! BP is good!
No, the point is that I can take a stolen ATT phone to T-Mobile, and T-Mobile will not brick or block it. In a perfect world, there'd be a unified ESN/IMEI stolen database that would block service across all providers. However, that hasn't happened yet.
(1) You carry one cell phone instead of all your various credit cards. (2) You need to have the phone and know the password to authorize a purchase instead of just having the card, so purchases are more secure. (3) Purchases are registered immediately so you can straighten your balance sheet much more quickly.
Are you nuts? Russia has thousands and thousands of nuclear missiles on land. They have a bunch of nuclear missiles on submarines. No matter how accurate the SM-2 and SM-3 missiles get, we just don't have enough to prevent the Eastern seaboard from getting wiped out, not to mention the fact that they don't do jack shit against submarine-based missiles.
Now China might get pissy about this, but it's not like they were a real nuclear power to begin with.
The bulk of America's cruise missiles are subsonic for treaty reasons. Therefore, they are not meant to be used to shoot down aircraft. I think you mean the Standard class missiles on American ships, which are surface to air rockets not cruise missiles.
Cue the world's smallest violins. The guy had been convicted of five previous felonies. At some point, he has to stop committing crimes. Of course, it's bullshit because his pizza theft was originally a misdemeanor that got bumped up into a felony due to his previous convictions, then it became the third felony under the three strikes law. But if I had been convicted of five felonies, you can be sure I would not be stealing pizzas or even jaywalking.
He did learn his lesson. He ended up serving five years in prison. Now he's bemoaning how he has to walk on eggshells because if he commits another crime, he's going back to prison for a long time. So it sounds like the law did the trick.
On a tangent, felons are allowed to run for office even though they cannot vote. The theory is that others cannot be deprived of their right to vote for him but he can be deprived of his own right to vote. Hilarious.
No, you twit. Clementi reasonably has to believe that he was selected to be the target because of his sexual orientation. That means that Clementi needed to have actually believed that, and this belief had to be reasonable "objectively" as decided by the jury. That means that if you burn a cross on a black man's lawn, and he feels discriminated against because of that action, a jury can convict if they believe that the belief was reasonable.
Yes, when blacks were being lynched for being black, and their bodies were left on trees so other blacks would stop being so uppity, that didn't count as terrorism because Muslims weren't involved. I disagree with the verdict in this case but hate crime laws are meant to protect an entire subclass from being singled out.
Windows 2003 R2 was released on April 23, 2003. It has already entered its end of life phase on July 13, 2010. Anything critical has to be updated, maintained, and patched. If your mission critical server is still running Windows 2003, then you're doing it wrong. If your mission critical server is still running Windows 2003 and you haven't applied this patch, then you're doing it wrong. I just don't know how big a problem this will be in the real world.

Hey, good dude. We aren't sanctioning food products. We have been embargoing the expensive booze that the ruling glass loves, though.
Paradoxically, the antivaxxers probably don't believe in evolution either, doubly proving that though what you don't know can't hurt you, what you don't believe in can certainly kill you.
Perhaps but I'm very interested, and I'm a law nerd.
