That's one opinion. I don't think that we've read of mass executions in Turkey, have we. On the other hand, there are any number of timpot dictators who have used their military forces to commit genocide.
Matters little what you may be a fan of. The men with the weapon ultimately decide what they will do with those weapons. If the CIC issues clearly unconstitutional orders for the military to do thus and so, the military can't wait for the Supreme Court or Congress to decide what to do.
There IS an out in this situation. The military is only bound to obey orders from COMPETENT authority. Issuing clearly illegal orders is an indication that the Pres is no longer competent.
Now, just because Manning is 99.9% responsible - you can't take away that.1% blame on the reporter for lying. Liars are douches, no matter that the people they lie to may be bigger douches.
I'll go with the country bumpkin, thank you very much. I've seen exactly three doctors in the past decade. One, a country bumpkin from Peru, one a country bumpkin from Viet Nam, and the third a little gray lady from Arkansas.
Ooops - I miscounted. Make that four doctors. The Peruvian guy has a partner in his clinic, who happens to be another country bumpkin from Arkansas.
I should also mention that a lot of country bumpkins who work at the various hospitals in Little Rock, Arkansas, are very good in their fields. Neurosurgeons, burn specialist, cancer, bone, skin - you name it. I don't need world renowned. Even if I could afford it, I don't want it. Just give me good, down to earth doctors like I already have, and I'll be happy.
I give especially high marks to both the neurosurgeons and the burn specialists, who have both saved the lives of family members who would have died from the same problems 100 years ago, and probably would have died 50 years ago, and their chances of survival merely 25 years ago would have been questionable.
You're probably not interested in those little details I've thrown in - but in my eyes, they justify my faith in those country bumpkins that you are so happy to put down.
And, in the end, we'll all have to check out of this little drama that we call life one day. I'd rather do so right here in Rural Arkansas, than in some ultra-sterile laboratory, among strangers.
You might have to define "dead". I'm pretty certain that half or more of our elected officials are already braindead. A good number of them are probably clinically dead, as well. How many fail to vote on important issues? As I recall, Obama looked pretty dead from his voting record while in the senate. And, Ted Kennedy - that lowlife looked dead for at least a decade, before the medical people agreed that he really was dead!
McCarthyism seems to have a lot in common with our new War on Terror.
To be fair, the rabid fanatical commy hunters actually caught some commies. And, the terror warriors have actually bagged some terrorists. But, the cost? Just not worth it . . .
As pointed out by osmanjuci, users of Unix-like OS's actually have a trusted, and trustworthy source from which to download VLC. As he so rightly pointed out, all I need do is type "aptitude install vlc" and it will be done in moments, downloaded from whichever Debian or Ubuntu repository I happen to have enabled for the computer I am on.
So, no *nix user is likely to download VLC from some disreputable site found on the internet.
But, wait. VLC is cross platform. I think it works on any platform that has a non-negligible share of the market. That includes Windows, of course. So - who is this malware targeted at? Ahhh-HA! The naive, non-technically minded, and possibly mentally challenged WINDOWS audience!
So, really, it's the same old story. Linux and Unix-likes stay reasonably secure, because they only use trusted sources, and Windows users are flocking to some cesspool to download some "free" software that has been rebundled in an unlawful manner. There is no problem with the open source software which has been counterfeited. It's the counterfeit product which is faulty.
And, I really don't think the counterfeiting process or the payload are "open sourced".
You could be right, Gordo - it's possible I read the current chart wrong. And, it's quite possible that the statistics have changed. But, I'll refer you to this article, from 8 months ago, at which time Opera did lead the other browsers in Russia:
About a year ago, I already blogged about the browser landscapeand which browsers our visitors use. Since then, the trend continued - in surprising strength:
Internet Explorer reduced its share from 40% (2008: 53%) to a mere 15%
Opera climbed to #2 - from 15% to 19%
Chrome skyrocketed from not even 4% to now 14% In Russia - where a lot of our visitors come from -, Opera even is the leading browser (at least amongst our audience) with a share of 39%, ahead even of Firefox' 35%.
Key word is "want". Next sentence, key word is "want" again. Third sentence, key words are "just HAD TO be", as in, "not an option".
To summarize, I'm not submitting to any damned patdown in exchange for the questionable privilege of embarking on an air craft. I'll sail instead, unless I really have no choice. As I sit here right now, trying to imagine some scenario in which I might not have the option - all I can come up with is my son being injured while on drill with the Army Reserve. And, that's not likely - he's FAR more likely to be injured at Fort Hood, or Fort Bliss.
As for the politicians who supported the USA PATRIOT act? They should never hold another term in any office in this country. They can go run for office in Saudi Arabia for all I care, but they're not American patriots, and don't deserve the flags they pompously wear on their lapels.
That pretty much sums it up. Thank you, Sir, or Ma'am, as the case may be.
Legal arguments don't impress me much. As I recall, a pretty famous person who also happened to be a lawyer had problems with the definitions of common words like "is", and "sex" when a scandal broke. Basically he told Congress that fellatio isn't really sex. Meanwhile, the unwashed masses know that having your cock sucked is indeed SEX!
I'll side with the unwashed masses over the TSA groping as well. I don't want another man touching my body unless he's a medical professional from whom I have sought professional attention, and I don't want a woman touching my body either, unless we both intend to have some consensual intimacy.
I avoid it. If I really wanted to fly to Hawaii, I'd take a boat. If I really really really wanted to fly to Hawaii, I'd take a boat. If I just HAD TO be in Hawaii TOMORROW instead of next week, then I'd submit to the screening, and fly.
But, then I have to ask myself, WTF do I need to be in Hawaii tomorrow for? I don't know anyone there, don't have any funerals to attend, don't need to be present for a will to be read - there is no need for me to be there. So, I'm back to sailing!
Well - I have traveled everywhere in the US, and done little flying within the US. So, no, no one is forced to fly, unless they are in a hurry.
That said, I am opposed to all the TSA nonsense, and I am 100% opposed to searching old women in wheel chairs, little children, etc. El Al doesn't do that, yet they have a better track record than we do. Empirical data, at least, indicates that we are doing it all wrong, and that TSA should be trained by Israel.
Profiling - that's it! How about we LOOK AT PEOPLE, get some kind of idea who and what we THINK they might be, and go from there? An adult male who looks like a camel jockey, is quite bulky, and appears to be nervous might be our first candidate for intensive screening. The woman with three kids, a diaper bag, and frazzled nerves gets a free pass as long as she lets us peek into the diaper bag!
I really don't have time right now to help you further - but play with that statcounter thing, and you'll find that among Cyrillic language speaking people, Opera pretty much rules. I've played with it in the past, but to be perfectly honest, I HATE those damned charts. I'm color blind, and can't read the damned things easily. Looks like Firefox leads in Russia, with Opera second, IE third, Safari fourth? Quite different from the United States, and the rest of the English speaking world, right?
Here's the global usage stats - IE is below 50% now. Last time I looked, they were still over 60%. Sweet, if you ask me. But, even the global stats are very different from the Russian Federation.
Go, play, investigate. Choose some countries in Eastern Europe that use the cyrillic languages, and I'm certain that you'll find that Opera leads the pack. It certainly did several months ago, and I can't imagine that anything has changed.
The xenophobic bit I was referring to, is that you, like most other people - especially Americans - simply can't imagine that other people do things differently. Because IE rules the US, with Firefox running a distant second, and Chrome running a close third, we tend to ASSume that to be the case with all the rest of the world.
Opera is really not a crappy browser. In fact, it's pretty good. It's just not what I want to use. What I really want, is Chromium, with all the add-on capability that Firefox has. In the meantime, I alternate between Chromium and Firefox.
Ever look at my nick? See the date? You don't have to call me "Sir", but unless you're older than dirt, you don't get away with those juvenile comments, either. You can get away with calling me an asshole, but that would be "Mr. Asshole" to you. Certainly not "sonny".
Salvage rights apply. Every state in the United States has laws regarding salvage rights. Our deep sea - errr - dumpster diver should read up on this pdf, as well as his own state laws. I think that MAYBE, NASA may retain some claim to that rock, but the museum forfeited all claim, and the greater claim probably belongs to the diver.
So, yeah, "finders keepers" is indeed a legal doctrine.
I wonder if Mr. Lower Six Digits is just to damned old to adapt? Or maybe he just needed someone to vent on, and he feels better now that he's used half of his obscene vocabulary?
I SPECIFICALLY addressed your statement about your DESKTOP machine - presumably your personal machine. I made no mention, whatsoever, of the difficulties of pleasing your corporate masters.
As for Enterprise support for software - I really don't give a rat's ass. You're talking about the same morons who sank tons of money into applications that could only be used with IE6. If you have taken on the job of trying to please the brain dead, I have to wonder if you weren't an evil sumbitch in a former life, and karma has now caught up to you. Maybe you pillaged a few towns, and ate the orphaned babies?
Maybe you aren't aware that corporations also destroy physical dead tree documents, religiously. Papers are retained for as long as the law requires, then they are destroyed. Electronic documents of a similar nature should be dealt with in the same manner. There is no reason to archive stuff for decades, just because you consider the cost to be trivial.
The more records being retained, the more records are available to be stolen, whether they be stolen by industrial espionage agents, the courts, or whoever.
"Search for Misaka and upskirt, and you’ll get a Chilling Effects message from Google about the removal of alleged child porn from their search results."
I tested that little declaration. I searched for variations on all the "offensive" terms used in TFA. Not once did I get that "Chilling Effects" crap. More, I followed several links, which loaded images of little cartoon girls with exposed panties. Apparently, Google isn't as fanatical about "the removal of alleged child porn" as Violet is.
That said - I can't understand Anime. Childish dialogue in a cartoon setting just don't do anything for me.
As for looking up WOMEN'S skirts, I'm all for that, as long as the woman in question doesn't want to beat me to death for it. Tricking a woman into working on a project with a name like that? Nahhh. Everyone concerned with the project owed to that woman to clearly explain what the crude terms meant. I'm not terribly sympathetic with people who have language barriers, but this is just to much. Guys should think about how they would feel if they were working in Japan, on a project whose name translated to "We'reallqueerhereindeveloperland".
Long story short, Smit and company were being juvenile dicks, some uptight old broad called them out, Smit renamed his software in an equally juvenile dickish manner, and the uptight old broad really has her panties in a wad. In the process, Smit probably lost an important person in his development team when she realized just how juvenile the team is. How important she is, I really don't know, but she should never have been part of the "joke".
"Nobody" obviously doesn't include anyone who uses a Cyrillic langauge. Are you that naive, or are you that prejudiced? More likely, just xenophobic, and unaware of what is happening outside your own little circle, town, or province.
How many times, exactly, have people bitched about Slashdot being broken? People EXPECT that kind of thing on Slashdot!
As for a Microsoft site, I wouldn't know. I just presume that anything with "Microsoft" in it's name would be broken. And, no, I'm not going to risk my computer by visiting MSDN to see if it works for me. Linux is pretty impervious to malware, but I ain't taking it to Microsoft anyway.
"And, even on my desktop machine, I'm not sure I'm willing to accept something which is constantly changing and doesn't have a definable version number."
I'm sure that you're posting from an AMD Socket 7 machine, running Windows 98, right? Or, did you get a mainboard that supports enough memory to run WinXP?
Stop your moaning - everything is constantly changing. Your hardware, your peripherals, you operating system, your software, your codecs, your media - every damned thing. Firefox and Chrome are both on a fast paced update schedule. Live with it, and adjust - or go back to Internet Explorer, where you've been stuck for the last decade anyway. And, just stop your moaning. You and people like you are wasting bandwidth and valuable time posting this nonsense to the web. Guess what? More than 99% of the people in the world just don't give a damn.
I just use the add-on compatibility reporter. You can "force" compatibility with it. I guess it won't always work - but for me it has worked so far. Do a search on the addon page for it.
Simply hilarious. Actually, I had forgotten about that ActiveX exploder. And, I forgot about Fred, too. FFS, my "homepage" isn't MINE! It's something I stuck in there to be cute when some moron or another was bragging up the capabilities of Internet Explorer version 6.shit. Do you think I should send Fred an apology for using his page like that?
Nahhhh, Phuck Phred - he put that exploder thing up for people to see, and obviously, some people have seen it thanks to me. I think Fred owes me a beer, LMAO!
Time to change my "homepage" maybe? Lemme find something imaginative. Something from whitehouse.org should work - maybe - or the CIA - or Al Queda - or - hell, gotta let my imagination work for awhile . . .
