Why don't we take a note from TV and have the user sing the missing lyrics of a classic hit. Even if they don't pass, it will make for much more fun around the computer, especially at the office.
I sure hope they remember to redundantly back up that database. We wouldn't want people staring at the wrong gum tree thinking their grandpa is making it so green instead of a surplus of koala poop.
The F-117 was an amazing aircraft. Mostly amazing because it actually worked and it was kept secret much longer than most things in our leak-filled government.
When the composite material burns, it gives off highly toxic fumes, hence the name "stinkbug."
Test pilots referred to it as the "wobblin goblin" due to early glitches in the computerized control system.
I understand that corporations tend to submit overwhelmingly large applications that require two lawyers and a forklift to process (the lwayers are dunnage for the pallet, of course).
I've experienced a similar phenomenon in contracting relationships where documentation is dumped in large quantities at the last minute with the intent of overwhelming the reviewing system. Apparently it works at the USPTO as well.
Throughout time, many of our most successful scientists have been those that were blatantly non-conformist. While I might not choose evolution vs intelligent design vs creationism as the preferred canvas, any method of incentivizing people to think for themselves should be applauded. How many average citizens accept every poll or newscast as "gospel truth" without analyzing the margin of error or scrutinizing the source of the data. For years, studies funded by tobacco companies consistently showed no correlation between smoking and cancer. I think we know how that turned out.
If Ben Stein is getting people to question and verify what they see, what they hear and what they are taught, then my hat's off to him.
My new book will capture essential management secrets outline in Yesr mythology. From Thor's mighty Hummer to Odin's three ambrosia lunch, everything will become clear once you inderstand Yesr mythology. Yessir.

What we really need is an automated system that can take off, launch a few satellites, gather some dead or nearly dead TOCO birds and burn them all up by exploding on re-entry. One flight, multiple missions, cleaner orbits. No need for durability beyond one launch. Let the atmoshpere reclaim the elements we took from the ground. Now that's recycling.
We can rest assured that state sponsored hacking is going on. We're doing it. Google "AF Cyber Command" As to whether the Chinese government is involved, that will be difficult to ascertain with any confidence for several reasons (see Great Firewall posts above). Foremost, we didn't invent pausible deniability. The Chinese have perfected inscrutability across the centuries.
In diversity lies strength. IBM is simply providing a target diverse environment for hackers. I've heard rumblings that DoD is interested in changing the MicroStatus quo, but couldn't see an affordable, manageable way to do it. Don't you know, there's a war on?
Black Tuesday is rather important to many organizations as it gives them a target for workload planning on patch integration, testing and roll-out. Overtime can be good.;) The fixed day is not the issue. IMHO, poor coding discipline is. http://www.sans.org/gssp/SANS-SSI%20C%20Blueprint%20(9-07).pdf
Does civility advocate|excuse dismissing opposing|differing opinions as meritless simply due to an innate sense of superiority? I've always believed that truly civilized indivduals have learned to disagree without being disagreeable.
The quote was from John van Wyhe, director of the project. I'd think his opinion would hold some value in this dicussion.
We seem to have a difference of opinion over controversy; how odd.
Since Darwin expressed "doubts about the permanence of species"
Does this mean we don't need to save EVERY endangered species? Or does this mean that we should get our own affairs in order?
... we should learn how to grow plants in Space first, and stay the hell away from all gravity sinks (such as moons, such as planets,) for a very long time. Maybe just a shallow gravity sink? It's much easier, more economical to launch any space mission from the moon than from good ol' earth. Every mission will require resources, which aren't generally floating around in open space in useful quantities. Those sorts of useful things tend to gather around, on or in those nasty gravity sinks. Come to think of it, growing plants requires resources. "Gravity, not just a good idea, it's the law"

Profit (with fewer lawyers).
Who can't understand and endorse something the requires fewer lawyers?
Image file size and/or checksum might become a key index for a cheaters database.
They can buy Enron for all I care.

You can tell them little green fellas I'm not gettin' on that thing with out my duct tape. I might need to terraform a planet, er somethin'

It's essential that corporations be allowed to procure and hold patents. Otherwise my retirement plan just went out the window!
You know what they say: you have to take the good with the bad (and, apparently, the ugly and the morbidly obese and the disgusting).
If SPAM = PETA, what does the Declaration of Independence REALLY say? And the constitution? Did the Freemasons start PETA?
My mind is reeling with the possibilities, but then, it usually is.

There's a picture I don't want wedged between my insights.

If you think pet-a-byte is somewhat funny, the next 10^3 level of storage should be hilarious. It may also be a twisted homage to "Spaceballs."
