  1. Since SF 86 is one of the documents used in granting security clearances, I'm fairly certain that a completed SF 86 is a classified document. It should not have been on an unsecured network.

  2. Why are agency SSN's on John Brennan's AOL account?

    Political appointee does not mean what you think it means. They both are political appointees that serve at the pleasure of the President. While one was appointed based on experience, the other was selected based more on political consideration than experience.

    You're talking about the iPod Photo, 4th generation, which HP sold under license. You're the shill who hasn't checked the facts.

    What is an iPod 4G? You mean the iPod Touch 4G that was released in 2007? Try again, that doesn't fit the timeline.

    Can anyone tell me which model of iPod was released shortly after January 2004 that HP did not sell?

    Agreed, I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find the model of iPod that fits the scenario in this story. Timothy's premise is fatally flawed. The story doesn't hold water, and all these "smart" slashdotters haen't even bothered to check the basic facts of the story.

    "Initially, HP only offered the 20 and 40 GB 4th-generation iPods. HP later added the iPod mini, the iPod photo, and the iPod shuffle to the lineup.[4] Thanks to HP's distribution network, the iPod+HP was sold in retailers where Apple did not have any presence at the time, which included Wal-Mart, RadioShack, and Office Depot. Many of these retailers now sell Apple iPods."

    What new version of the iPod was released shortly after January 2004? The shuffle? Mini? Nano? The next generation of iPod wasn't released until late 2005. Timothy, this story doesn't hold water.

    They had thousands more employees in 2002 than they have now. Most of the costs you have listed are personnel related. The median income is hardly any higher now than it was then.

    It does go from 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds. Or 12.8 seconds, or whatever you ask it to do. The great thing about electric motors is they don't consume anything at idle, or take any more than you give them.

    Thanks, i was looking for a post along these lines before I was going to post it. Bullets don't knock people down like they do in the movies. The surprise of being hit may cause someone to fall down, but knock down, no.
