Useless because he reports to the Director of National Intelligence. Now, if the Director of National Intelligence reported to HIM, then we might have something to celebrate.
Not to sound elitist, but I hope nobody _I_ know is "on" these sites.
If myspace, livejournal, etc. have taught us anything, it's that there are a lot of self-absorbed people out there. I mean seriously... how many people in the world are really so interesting or important that they need to make an entire site dedicated to themselves and fill the content up writing about themselves, their hobbies, their favorite things, and their imaginary friends?
It's sad really: the Internet leveled the publishing playing field, promising a level of collaboration and social networking that the world has never seen before. The actual result? Legions of self-centered attention whores posting articles about themselves and pictures of their dogs.
"I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in...sixty years."
Most software engineering jobs I've seen have a salary-ceiling and a responsibility-ceiling. It's a great job for someone under 30 or so. In general it still pays way way above average, and is relatively meaningful compared to other office jobs. It sure beats brick-laying and roofing. But there's nowhere to go. You'll always be on one of the bottom two rungs of the corporate ladder. When you're 55, you'll still be writing code and making around the same (inflation adjusted) salary.
You're also under no obligation to get your smug ass smashed by someone's old beater-mobile. You are like the teenage girls who talk on their cellphones in the movie theater "because they can". Your holier-than-thou attitude is what makes people's daily commutes miserable.
Try getting into a serious accident. Maybe it will make you contemplate your actions and stop being an obsticle purely for the sake of annoying people.
History is not one of the subjects tested on standardized tests. The results of these tests are used by the government to determine school funding. Is it any surprise that children are no longer being taught history?
In this way, the government determines what is taught in school. Now... Why do you suppose it is that the government no longer wants history to be taught in school???
How exactly is increased surveillance when you are in a public place an infringement on your personal freedoms?
Are you joking? OK, one example off the top of my head. There are plenty more.
You are in an unfamiliar neighborhood. You pull over and waive someone down and ask for directions. He comes up to your car and you ask him for directions to the hotel. He points and gives you directions and you drive off.
That man later turns out to be a terrorist or drug dealer.
Now, thanks to ubiquitous surveilance, you are on videotape associating with a terrorist. This information can and will be taken out of context and used against you if, say you ever run for office or are accused of a minor crime.
I wouldn't. If history has taught us anything, it's that old, rich, white conservatives never get what's coming to them. They just end up older, richer, whiter, and more conservative.
From the article: With the convergence of high-tech media, this holiday season would have been an explosive nodal point to get Vista out for a compounded effect.
This is why MS can't seem to get it done. They have people working there who ACTUALLY talk like this! I mean, seriously, can anyone translate that sentence into English, please?
They're not releasing it because it would be mainly used for piracy??? Hey, it's their software, and they can do what they want with it, but what a lame excuse! That's like Smith & Wesson not releasing their latest gun because "it would be mainly used for killing".
Keep saying this. Keep laughing at this "debate" and dismissing it as the work of a few religious whackos.
Meanwhile, these religious whackos are getting elected to school boards and other forms of local government at an incredible pace. They are patient, organized, and willing to wait decades to reach thier goal of enacting strict religious law within our country. They are working the schools now because they know they need to mold these next generations into the kind of society that will willingly accept a Taliban-like USA.
Make no mistake. These people are playing hardball--the scientific community must play their game at the political level or lose it.
What, do you expect a link? The sites have already been censored.
That's the thing about censorship. Done wrong, the people get up and arms and want the material. Done right, the people never even know the material exists.
WHOOSH! Hear that? That was his point going right over your head!
Obviously you need it spelled out for you: Everyone breaks lots of tiny little laws every single day. Do you really propose that it's a good thing for society to enforce every single infraction? Is that the reason we have police?
100% camera coverage leads to ubiquitous law enforcement, but is this really good for society?
So, when someone questions the "official" government story about 9/11, they're a conspiracy theorist? Show me a single picture of a passenger plane hitting the pentagon, or even a single picture of wreckage from a passenger plane being brought out of the pentagon.
Nobody is questioning whether it's his offices's duty to present these awards. We are only reflecting on the irony of George W. Bush, a man seemingly bent on setting science back decades, presenting science awards. To make another analogy, it is like Philip Morris presenting fitness awards.
A free market is just that--free from restrictions. Giving an author the right to control redistribution of his work restricts my ability to redistribute it, and therefore makes the market less than free. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just let's not kid ourselves and call it a "free market" when it certainly isn't.

You don't actually think some random company operating these oh-so-convenient card swipers is actually responsible with your data do you? You should be scared shitless.
I spent £200 on an operating system so they can waste the money spending god-knows-how-much to get some guitarist I've never heard of to create some Windows theme sounds?
Although I realize your post was probably a troll, I'd still like to point out that if you've never heard of Robert Fripp you have a lot more problems than the amount of time it takes Windows to start. I'm shocked that you can even fit a computer under that rock you've been living under.

Go look up "average" in the dictionary.
If you're great at what you do, there will always be a market for your skill set.
Tell that to the great buggy-whip manufacturers.
A second new crime... A third new crime...
Am I the only one who is disgusted by the wording? What, are prisons not full enough yet?
I guess when there are not enough criminals, we just have to make new crimes...

throughput = window_size / RTT
110KB / 0.050 = 2.2MBps
If instead you use the window size calculated above, you get a whopping 31.25MBps, as shown here:
625KB / 0.050 = 31.25MBps
That's funny, I get 12.5MBps
