Or the point of closing gitmo might just be a belated attempt to appear to be a country that believes in freedom and rule of law. Have you seen any real evidence that the detainees are as dangerous as you have been told?
Remember the same people who *claim* these guys are dangerous, told us Iraq had WMD, and are proven liars.
Gitmo has destroyed any moral authority the US may have once had in the world. If a US soldier is captured and tortured in future, the US has no cause for complaint, as they have done the same themselves, much to the disappointment of those of us who believe in the rule of law. remember when truth and justice was the American way?
So show some real evidence these are what you so naively refer to as "Bad guys".
Its cute you believe waterboarding stopped in 2003 too, want to buy a large bridge?
That a single network is a good idea. I work in education in Aust, and govt policy is admin network, which contains students confidential records, is always kept phisically isoalated form the student network.
The only point at which the networks connect is the outgoing router, and connections between the 2 are not allowed by the router.
I would suggest this is a much more secure option. You may find education dept policy requires seperate networks anyway.
Just because you say there are many people with have no problem with this does not make it true.
The people who "dont have a problem: are most like illegal immigrant , or people from countries with similarly totalitarian governments anyway, You are right, I am sure Russians and Chinese will be used to such treatment.
I certainly would not consider traveling to the US whilst such draconian measures are in place.
I would have thought a considerable reduction in tourism would be missed.
Quite so sir, I gave my 74yo father (Now 82), who worked in truck driving, a PC 8 tears ago and since then he has become quite the internet/Email/digital/Ebay photo editing, and various IM clients expert.
He was starting to sit around and do nothing, with some degree of mental degradation this has led him to whole new worlds of info and contacts-he even told me he would have liked to have worked in IT. If anything he is mentally sharper now than 10 years ago!
I wouldn't let him write stuff down, and showed him how to work things out and what to watch for in terms of virus and malware
Somehow he has avoided viruses over the years and nearly all malware.
It's a miracle for XP. He has also become a computer power fiend, WD Raptor, high end Core 2 duo 4 gig RAM 21" CRT-he says most other computers are slow...and upgrades every 2 years.
But we can't get my Mum to use a PC at all, even with games.
It has been very rewarding to see my Dad enjoy himself so much-He even gets a kick out of doing internet banking! (especially when I need to borrow money) (-:
Why not just not check your mail on your day off. Better still use a auto responder to say "We operate during the following office hours, requests sent outside office hours will not be actioned until the next available time during office hours"?
If you dont stand up for yourself and draw a line in the sand you will be taken advantage of.
Another techinque would be to charge 10X the ammount for out of normal hours work.
YOU have to take control, not allow yourself to be dictated to.
Amusingly, that makes you one of the people you refer to, and I am suitably impressed by your taste.
So, would you prefer

2. Bloated DRM riddled piece of shit.

When the range of people I know that want to be rid of Vista goes from teenagers to middle aged housewives to the elderly, I think that is a fair spread.
In between posts another person came in to my office begging to be freed of Vista.
Still, I guess Vista fanboys( I still dont believe anyone is THAT stupid, but there you are) dont care about facts.
Perhaps because they were sent to gitmo so that US law would not apply, regardless of court decisions since, this was an enclave deliberately created to allow the US to commit acts thaat would be illegal in the US itslef.
Gitmo has destroyed the image the US once had as a country that beleved in fairness and the rule of law.
Yeh, I can tell your a teacher-you dont know what you are talking about, but express an opinion.
I am an admin for 2 schools with a total of 200 pc's.
NO bootable disk will run, as the bios is password protected, and set to boot from hard disk only, so a live CD cannot be booted. This is standard practice in every school I know of. If not they probably let a teacher run their network, and get what they deserve.

"Many of the people held there are simply too dangerous to let go."
And your evidence for this statement is?
From someone other than the people who told us Iraq had WMD hopefully.
I would not believe the word of kidnappers and torturesrs, why do you?

Posting on my first mac, and frankly not impressed by OSX. Thought I would see what the fanboys were on about.
No right button is stupid. Needed 3rd party app to get side scrolling. Locked solid twice(never happened with XP.
Machine feels nice though, guess it needs a redeeming feature.
The company is dieing
So is spelling it seems.
True, it is not like the people of the US voted this government in to office twice is it?
The people are the country right?

Agree on Foxit reader-blows Acrobat reader away for speed and simplicity! Top little program!

Overcompesation for;
"Certain" Inadequacies
Are you using a mac?
On my powerbook, I simply cannot moderate either in safari of Firfox. It all looks to be OK, I can select the relevant mod but nothing happens.
I have to mod from a windows laptop for some reason.
Tried Linux, but wifi auto config is crap.

You do reaise that is complete rubbish dont you.
The gun murder rate in the US is much higher than countries where guns are strictly controlled.
When the majority of guns are removed there are less guns for criminals to steal, therefore less guns in the hands of criminals.
Gun ownership seems to be some kind of overcompensation to me.
I would do that, but then again we in Aust were sensible ebough to get rid of most of the guns in our society years ago.
Why are you so scared you need to have a gun?
You mean a smaal planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse. Thats exactly what I thought! (-:
HHGTTG rules !
Helicopters are a triumph of engineering over common sense!
But you get to wear a silly helmet!
I imagine that the fatalities occour at the last few mmm when they hit the ground.

I think Bush deserves all that and worse. He is responsible for many more deaths than any of the terrorists.
If this was applied to you I suspect you would quickly change your juvenille view of torture.
Lets see the proof of your accusations about the Gitmo inmates, the list of convictions, the evidence- oh thats right there is none.
So you approve of torture of people who are suspected of terroism. without any proof.
Ah Truth, Justice and what used to be the American way.
Despite the despicable troll mod you are spot on sir.
Truth hurts.
Why not?

Those who can do, those who cant teach.
I read somewhere that in fact testing has proven that vinegar catches more flies.
You seem confused
The classification law was not put in place to apply to the internet. (Which did not exist at the time).
This is new legislation, as evidenced by the need for it to be passed by the senate.
That said, I am totally against censorship of anything at all.
