Read the articles you posted. American intelligence is not being used (in those situations) to better American business but instead to level the playing field. American companies and their foreign subsidiaries are not allowed to bribe officials abroad, even if it is consonant with foreign law. The US has the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which criminally punishes those parties who engage in corrupt practices such as bribery abroad. Having passed this law that is heartbreakingly idealistic, the US Government has decided to use its intelligence forces to turn in foreign companies which have bribed foreign officials so US Companies will have a fair shot at the deal. Of course, this entire thing looks disgusting, but upon inspection, it's a much closer call. Airbus obtained the bid by BRIBING officials. Do we turn a blind eye to Boeing bribing or do we turn in the lawbreaking foreign company?
People like you who vote Libertarian are who got us into this mess. Let's get Bush out of office first by voting for the Democratic candidate, then move on from there.
Maybe they'll just make sure the network gets pwn3d so they can point their fingers at it, jump up and down, and yell "See! See! See!" like a bunch of 12-year-olds who just drank a case of Red Bull.
That would backfire. Would you buy software from a company that cannot even handle it's own security? Secondly, would you buy software from a company's system was tampered with in unverifiable ways?
The problem was that he was trepassing on the parking lot of the business after they told him that he was not welcome there. The situation is the actually the reverse of your proposition. The defendant is completely wrong under current law but people are up in arms because we think unsecured wireless must be free. That has little to do with this case; he was told to get OFF THEIR PHYSICAL REAL PROPERTY and refused to do so.
Just like the Jefferson fiasco - FBI busts down a citizen's door, it's strong justice; bust down a Congresscritter's door and it's a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!!!!omgwtfbbq
Well, to be fair, it is somewhat disconcerting to see the Executive Branch (FBI) busting down the door of the legislature (Congress) because of the implications on the balance of powers. An overly strong executive branch can be a scary thing.
Another real fun question is whether your post violates the law since it gives information on gambling. Or what if I said, "Googling for 'sports odds' will lead you to websites with sports odds?"
Right. And you have to waste the time and effort of making a cd and then re-ripping it to MP3. How are the mom and pops who are using iTunes actually manage to do this?
You were modded Funny, but that is almost exactly why the zero day exploit debuted when it did. At this moment, Windows is asking me to restart my computer for the update I just installed.
On a similar vein, Motorola innovated Six Sigma, a continually-evolving process to reduce variability and error occurence in a process. The central thesis is the determination of goals prior to any other process and creating metrics and systems of accountability for improving those metrics within the goals determined at the outset of the project. A significant portion of the Six Sigma reputation could be hype, but we can see from the Vista case study that setting detailed goals and metrics of these goals from the beginning of a project can increase efficiency and customer satisfaction. Imagine if WinFS and all these fancy bugaboos were removed from the start in favor of security, stability, and upgradeability.
I travel a lot. Not only do I commute from home, school, and work, but I also take trips both personal and business-related. Meebo has already obviated the need for me to install Gaim or any other IM software on any of my systems. The computer terminals at work are highly regulated so I cannot install software or use USB keys. But because of Meebo, I have that functionality and I don't miss Gaim, AIM Triton, Yahoo Messenger, or MSN Messenger. Gmail has already taken over my e-mail and backup functions. (I use Thunderbird at home to pull mails off for archiving; I prefer the Gmail interface.) I already have been using Gmail to compose documents that I then save as a draft. The future may include Writely and Google Spreadsheets. I do not need a feature-rich client, but rather an available, dependable program that will allow me to transplant myself across different terminals without losing data or having to spend any time setting myself up.
Are we going back to the thin-client? Perhaps. Being able to work anywhere there is an Internet-connected computer regardless of the native software suite installed (other than a compatible Internet browser) is a very powerful ability indeed for someone who travels a lot.
Unlike marijuana, crystal meth is very physically addictive and causes severe and long-lasting deficiencies in mental function. Long-term abusers of crystal meth become physically wasted because they would rather get high than eat. Furthermore, the manufacture of crystal meth involves the use of many caustic, highly toxic compounds in hazardous "cooking" conditions that are prone to explosion. Addicts are drawn to crystal meth because of its high, so that distinguishes the drug from rock salt and alcohol. When have you read in the papers of pot heads robbing or stealing to support their habit?
Drawing a false dichotomy that either all drugs should be legalized or all drugs should be illegalized ignores the truth that some drugs are just more dangerous than others.
Unfortunate postings to Slashdot are also pretty, well, unfortunate, because Slashdot has a high Google-rank, so your Slashdot postings will place highly in Google on a search for your name. I don't think you can get a Slashdot comment removed.

Porn-users do not all download the same porn at the same time from the same servers.

The issue you pointed out is not what the robot is designed to fix. IEDs are buried by the side of the road or hidden in debris. The robot car can go up and investigate disturbances without slowing down or risking the main force.

An EM bomb will probably screw the American forces more than the suicide bombers, who will probably switch to mechanical detonators that are manually activated.

He must have known about the railroads; after all, they were the favorite targets of American bombers and invasions.

You are right. Let's start pouring poisons into the streams and forests to kill off the nuisances.
