While I understand what your trying to say, I have to agree with rezalas a bit. The current spending on the war is money that is not budgeted, it comes from special emergency budgets. (silly accounting game, its not like Iraq is a new thing this budget year!). Spending that money elsewhere would be like saying that instead of spending $200 a month on a credit card to make ends meet every month, we are now going to spend that $200 a month on a car payment. Either way, the credit card balance still goes up every month.
Like most politicians, the leading contenders don't have personal expertise in the field of finance so, no, they don't know a whole lot about how the economy works.
Couldn't agree more. I haven't met a good corporate executive leader that knows the details of how to setup an infrastructure to deal with the companies communications and messaging. Most executives know that they can't know everything, and hire good people that they trust to oversee areas they are not strong in.
I think am less scared of this than of the fact that most people voting don't have a basic knowledge of how our economy works, (or how our government works for that matter). This means that they will not listen to any candidate that has long term plans, or that wants us to suffer a little today, to be better off tomorrow. I mean were having this huge economy problem, and 10TRILLION in freaking debt, and both candidates are talking about tax cuts. Isn't cheap credit and lots of debt what got our economy into trouble in the first place? I'm not for a tax increase, but at a minimum, keep taxes where they are, since they are still putting us in the red at the current level, and start slashing government programs!
That's actually the funny part. I was pushing our dean of finance to do it to fight the perception that we were wasting money. The school I worked for was actually very, very lean, in an area where the k-12 districts were corrupt, and wasting money. It would be good to have people look at how we spent our money, then ask the other school districts how they spend theirs. We would look like hero's, and probably get our bond levy passed.
Many government agencies have to release public information whenever asked, including the school I used to work for. However, you have to figure out who to ask, and make an appointment, then fill out forms, then sometimes pay a small copying fee, then they give you copies of their budgets. Why the hell aren't all government agencies (especially the small, local ones!) putting this info on the web? I brought this up to the dean of finance and she damn near had a stroke! I would love, as a taxpayer, to be able to delve into a file of stuff, and see for myself exactly where the money goes, rather than look at the shiny charts that break it down into a couple of very generic areas. I know there are privacy implications, but you could list how much you pay for salaries in different areas/departments. Perhaps clump all office supply purchases into one line item. It really can't be that hard, but nobody wants to, and no taxpayers are demanding it.
Sadly, this is one thing I have to praise Microsoft on. Was looking at piece of software for our DB server from sybase, and it was going to sit on a server, and mostly be idle, might need to be used once every 6 years or so.. Part of our Disaster recovery plan. Those greedy bastards wanted 25k per CPU Core. our DB server was a dual quad-core system. You can't even buy a single core server anymore, so I had to put it on a piece of crap old desktop.
I have been to several trade shows and events where the give away a few copies of server with a few CALS for free. I had a copy of 03R2 Server I tossed...
No, drugs are federal. In California, you can posses and even buy marijuana if you meet the requirements. That hasn't stopped the feds from stepping in on peoples rights. (same in Oregon as well)
I've worked in a university lab, testing and networking our o-scopes (and loading quake on a few of the agilent o-scopes that ran winNT back in the day!!). I would say that the best o-scope you could buy for your money is the one that your biggest employers of your graduates use. Go contact some alumni, some friends a few years out of school, and ask them what they use. Employers love this, and students like to be able to say they are familiar with equipment that employers want.
actually, in the last amtrak bill that passed, their was money in there to extend the high speed rail between chicago and milwaukee (one of the most reliable and most profitable routes for amtrak, airport to airport). They are going to extend it to Madison, then up to St. Paul Not Maglev, but 100+mph trains, with limited stops. Even without Maglev, the diesel electric trains are the most efficient and environmentally friendly way to move cargo or people around.
I remember reading a report that said that for the cost of the "stimulus checks" that the government wrote last spring (150billion), they could have built a 300+mph train from SF to Chicago, using 2 tracks, one for eastbound, one for westbound. Future projects would be cheaper, since that included wiggle room to iron out a few problems. so that's what, 5-6 hours from SF-Chicago, with all the legroom you could want, large bathrooms, dinner cars, etc? No more feeling like cattle, no more airport body cavity searches. Something 600-1000 people per train, trains leaving every hour or less.. My god that would clear up roads and airports.
I don't think the Original poster understood the problem all that well either. By their own description of the problem, it would be impossible to back the data up to tape without error as well. Imagine if every time you did a backup, a bit got flipped somewhere.
You don't have to actually have the "perverted" pictures to do this, just send out lots of data files that have the same hash. (depending on the lenght of the hashes, its really easy to do) Not to mention, changing just a bit in a file will mess with its hash, so the real kiddie porn traders will just randomly change a pixel or two. Might be fun to send out multiple 25MB files that have the same hash. That would drop their servers to their knees....
Actually, hate to nitpick, but its issues like these should help to demonstrate to people that America Is not a democracy, has never been, and was intentionally designed to not be one. America is a Democratic republic. We all choose are leaders, and assume that they will be wiser, or learn more about the needs of the country, than we can or have time to. If we were a democracy, everything we did would involve a national vote, and that would be very, very scary judging by the people that I share the highway with in the mornings..
the NOx output has been reduced. The particulates have been drastically reduced. All new diesels have to have a particulate filter that traps them, then occasionally, burns them off. Several companies have diesels already running with the NOx issues fixed, they use Urea (yes, they use sheep piss) and inject it into the exhaust.
Diesel is ideal for a plug in, serial drive vehicle, It can be tuned to run very effecient at a small RPM range, doesn't require as much refining to produce, easier to transport since its not as explosive or corrosive.. The same reason trains have been using this same diesel hybrid setup since the 60's or so...
You don't really have a choice. I can choose to get any and all text messages, or I can choose none. What if I want to text a few people. If the phone rings, and I don't answer it, I don't pay for the call. However, with almost all cell phone companies, you pay per incoming, and outgoing text. (if I text my wife, Sprint gets 50 cents! Thats insane). What If I want to text her, but don't want anyone else to?
Think of the number of open tabs you could use in Google's new Chrome Browser! With separate processes for each tab, they could have the internet open at once!
K, so I've been playing now. First, its in the picasaweb web albums, not in the downloaded program. But it scanned the pictures, and I started entering names. I tagged a bunch of faces of my wife, and her mom, and when I got to her sister, the "suggested tag" had both my wife's and her mom's names. Very interesting.. it definitely saw the family resemblance..

How many lights does it take to light up a corn farm?
Because in order to compete in a global economy, our farmers needed some help. So our government gave their crops an extra hour of daylight. ;)

A point of seriousness to your humor... Sun has a video demonstrating ZFS using a bunch of USB Flash drives plugged into a system. Pretty cool!

Both Domains? or do you want to change the core routers to just ignore their state's entire /24 subnet?

In a nutshell the telco is suing the city with the justification that they are protecting the city from itself?
Is this much different than when the government gives you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt?

It will not run 32 bit linux, so of course, the admins in charge are going to bitch about the lack of adobe flash support.
