"is struggling with the expensive task of replacing the space shuttle". Is the author talking about SpaceX or some other mythical shuttle replacement? Last I knew, outside of SpaceX, NASA did not have a pot to piss in with regards to future manned launch vehicles. Please enlighten me.
If any entities deserve some punitive taxation, these people and their lawyers should be it. They produce nothing and simply suck capital from the producers. How about a 90% tax rate on lawyer fees from lawsuits. Let's see how long the lawyers stick around. Oh wait - lawyers write the tax code, shit.
To me Oracle's behavior is very reminiscent of MS past behavior. Assimilate and destroy. I see no good coming from anything Oracle touches. I'm looking at you Larry.
This will date me, but I can remember the day when EVERYONE had to rent a telephone from Ma Bell. Rotary dial and then the Princess phone. Technology really got pushed along in those days.
Maybe we can apply some oil company resentment and institute a Windfall Profit Tax, just to spread the wealth around a little. Na, this would take an act of Congress, members of which are mostly lawyers.
This news seems to me to be another bad omen. We run NetWare, Border Manager, ZENworks and Groupwise and have been very happy for many years. However, Novell seems to be a ship without a rudder and as the IT Director will cause me to consider other alternatives, including Microsoft.
If only all google, skype, and others would just stop service for 1 day, maybe the Indian Government would reconsider. But that would probably be called collusion or something and branded illegal. Were is the State Department? Are they trying to defuse the situation? I ask because I don't know if they have any involvement.
"Many recent aircraft loss incidents remain unexplained,....., buried under the wreckage of the World Trade Centers" - This has to be the dumbest statement of all time. I think everyone knows what happened to the planes THAT WERE FLOWN INTO THE WTC BY MUSLIM TERRORISTS. Fail.
Reading these posts, has anyone asked what is too much. Is Janet Jackson's boob too much? Some will say yes, some no. What if she decided to give Justin a blowjob instead? Too much? Do you want you six year old daughter to see that?
The issue is that there is no agreed upon definition of how much is too little or too much. It seems that in this case simply not allowing any would be most prudent. If you want to watch blowjobs, go to that channel. I can police what my children watch based on descriptions and ratings, it is the unknown that I can't.
The "fleeting expletive" is another issue to me. In a live broadcast, participants sometimes do curse. That in my opinion is something out of the control of a broadcaster. When VP Biden mutters the f-bomb over an open mic, I don't think the broadcasters should be held accountable.
As far as I am concerned, Wilileaks in an accessory to murder and should be prosecuted as such. As far as the original leaker, he should be hung. The leak of these documents has/will lead to the deaths of many people on our (NATO) side who provided information about the Taliban. And speaking of the Taliban, these people are pure evil, no different than Hitler. Check out the Cover of Time for a small taste. This evil must be exterminated as all costs.
As a conservative, I always felt it was the corporation's responsibility to insure the highest possible return on investment to the company owners. However, if no one has work, then who will buy the products produced? Perhaps free trade has gone too far. Of course this will not be popular with our trading partners and treaty signers (NAFTA, etc.).
With that said, I refuse to buy inferior products JUST because they are made in the USA. Detroit was handed their lunch by producing Pintos and Vegas when Civics and Corrolas were SO SUPERIOR.
As a conservative, you would think I would be all for this, but no. How do you define what is or is not pornography or hate speech. One could argue the pornography may be easier to define based on the physical activities involved, but what about hate speech? Does Shawn Penn's comments qualify? David Duke? Rossie O'Donnell? This is right up there with defining racially motivated crime.
The extensions will be very nice. This is the only reason I would not use safari in the past. Apple was not supporting the use of input managers so this change is welcome.
I'll give you one point - I hate ear-marks tagged onto other more important work. Other than that, you are a dumb f*&^. Why is it whenever dems want to enforce "PAYGO" it is the military that gets blasted. Let's look at the domestic side. Or how about a windfall profit tax on lawyer fees in law suits. How about 50%. But alas that will never work as almost 50% of the electorate is on the dole and once they realize they can vote for bread and circuses. Getting back to topic (sorry) the US without human launch capability it absolutely shameful. Who ever (Yes it probably was the republicans back then) allowed the shuttle to retire without properly funding NASA sufficiently to have ARES ready near 2010 should be soundly beaten. I take pride in NASA but it will be a sad day when the last shuttle lands and we have to rely solely on others for LEO travel. Let the negative moderation begin.

Right on man (70's lingo). He should be in the slammer just for being stupid enough to try it in the first place. What do you think would happen?

Out with "An Army of One" and in with "We're Fabulous!"
Lots of luck with that.

Could not have said it better (or even come close).
Who is the racist bastard who tagged this story with "RichWhitey"?

A little harsh. Maybe you should stop playing WOW in your mom's basement and find a vagina or something.

OK, perhaps I was a little harsh. A re-write of the sentence is needed.
Maybe you wrote the article. My point is we know what happened, not that the attack "remain unexplained".

Is the Kepler team dysfunctional, or do they just enjoy pissing on one another?

My god. Just think of the poor electrons wasted by these posts. Can't wait for the first lawsuit because someone CAN see individual pixel.
