Uh, what? In the Clinton years, warehouses full of documents from this time were declassified. Top Secret communications from the Bay of Pigs invasion were made unclassified, just as an example. Scores of authors pored over the documents and wrote tons of books based on them. I read one recently: Oswald and the CIA, based almost entirely on declassified documents the CIA and other intel agencies held on Oswald. I would say there is a plethora of classified documents from the Kennedy administration that have been available unclassified for 15 or more years now.
They were called enemy combatants because our troops encountered them on the battlefield. Name one person in GTMO who was NOT found in combat, or STFU.
Humor aside, it's not that big a problem. You could just use a PO Box system. Mail gets puts in the same box everyday at a local post office, and the owners go to get it. Or simply number buildings per track. Address might read "Reading line, bldg 42" with that number clearly printed on the outside. In the US, mail routinely gets delivered to houses whose addresses include directions, like "go about 4 miles after the paved road ends and turn left at the crick."
The Cocaine Importation Agency was the one that created the Wikileaks Task Force, unless you're referring to another WTF within the Famous But Ineffective.
Not sure why I'm responding to an AC who's responding to another AC, but with somewhere around 2% of US desktops running Linux, it's not exactly as widespread as some slashdaughters would hope. Ubuntu et al are good solid replacements for many users for XP, but it's nothing compared to the runaway success of Android.
What about smart phones, iPads, iPod Touches, Android tablets, Crackberries, Game Boys, etc etc? Or, maybe, the professor could try be more engaging and not speak in a monotonous voice.
Right, here's my cell phone. And I can still text on my iPod Touch using nothing more than bluetooth messaging. Or another cell phone. Or passing notes. But other than that, it's genius.
I was just referring to Android becoming popular on the phone before the tablet (with my sig part of the punchline), not computing in general. In addition to Moore's law driving sizes down, there's also been a convergence, where not too long ago you had a phone, MP3 player, digital camera, and GPS, and the iPhone/Android merged those for most people. I foresee another convergence coming soon, with the smart phone and tablet merging to something in between, perhaps something like the Streak, though perhaps just a little lighter and smaller.
Which is why so many people choose not to skimp on size and carry their full-size desktop tower and 22" widescreen monitor everywhere they go. Good point.

I think that your odds of dying in an act of terrorism may be lower than 1 in a billion. Maybe you do not understand statistics much?
I suppose I should take lessons in statistics from someone who pulls numbers out of his ass with no explanation.
Sooner to be free with a small 1 in billion odds of death-by-terrorist
So 7 people died from terrorism this year?
And I thought he said something about getting out of Afghanistan.

there's always iOS, which is just OSX with some stuff taken out, some stuff renamed, and some minor stuff added in.
So it's basically the same except that it's different.
They were called enemy combatants because our troops encountered them on the battlefield. Name one person in GTMO who was NOT found in combat, or STFU.
And I'm listening to Alanis Morissette right now. How ironic is that?
FWIW, I'm an intelligence analyst. I guess that makes it worse.
Q: So when David Tennant goes to get his paycheck, Who gets the money?
A: Every dollar of it. After all, the man earns it.
The Grinch isn't a Who; he's more of a what.

Yeah, I haven't found any of that either, whatever it is.
Or found a crashed ship full of dead giant alien transforming robots.

You're thinking of horticulture.
You want them to fix the summary? I'm afraid that train has sailed.

OMFG, I just have to have it in white! When will Steve Jobs figure out how to make white plastic?
Let's keep that straight (no pun intended).
I don't get it.
Yeah, I'd probably be more inclined to hold a phone two feet in front of my own face. No offense.
What about smart phones, iPads, iPod Touches, Android tablets, Crackberries, Game Boys, etc etc? Or, maybe, the professor could try be more engaging and not speak in a monotonous voice.
Yeah, and imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
OK, I'm sorry. I just hadn't heard that one in a while. I'll be on my way now.
