I spent 8 years in the Corps. My first deployment's (at the end of the Gulf War) main focus was on TRAP missions (Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel - picking up pilots who got shot down and then blowing up the plane's electronics). My last deployment's main focus (at the end of the majority of the "Bosnia Mess") was on what to do when a food distribution center turns to chaos as the natives get restless. In both situations, my gut instinct is to kill whomever wants to kill me and my fellow Marines. A nonlethal option is good, don't get me wrong, but when rounds are inbound you don't think about the "politically expedient solution". You think about the "fast and effective solution". Lethal lead poisoning of the head is fast and effective.
What Banky is talking about is that we were trained to kill. Period. Call the Red Cross if you want to someone to deliver TLC. The drill instructor's comment was meant to convey that. And yes, my DI said that to our platoon, too.
P.S.- I was a combat engineer: bridge builder, mine layer, and the purveyor of the myriad uses of explosives.
This is ludicrous. One of my coworkers is trying to get his visa renewed (in other words, helping fill the supposed "shortage" of IT workers). The agencies he has to deal with refuse to deal with him in an expedient matter. He's pissed off and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't leave for greener pastures. C'mon, our government has to make up its mind: are we in a shortage (then take timely action on entry forms) or not (then why string em along?!).

1 - Clearly state that posts are the responsibility of the poster. IOW, you don't control content.
2 - Flawlessly exercise editorial rights in disallowing "dangerous" postings. IOW, you control the content.
3 - Move your site to a server on Mars (and tell offended companies to file their complaints to Uranus:P). IOW, you don't care about pissing anyone off but don't want to be dumb about it.
4 - Combine 1 & 2. Allow anything to be posted, but clearly state that you reserve the right to remove posts that conflict with your ability to maintain the website. IOW, you are willing to be reasonable - to a point.
A trusted group should be allowed to use this on the FBI's networks. They should search for traffic that indicates an abuse of Carnivore, as well as hints that Omnivore (Carnivore's bigger brother) is being used.
I heard that they have a program that screens for pot references in emails. Its called herbivore.
I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps. My job didn't involve computers (it was explosives, mine warfare and bridging), but computing was my hobby. I left the Corps and, by virtue of getting a lucky interview, am working with one of the fastest growing systems integrations firms in Ohio.
So why was I hired? Desired skills are: love of computing(ingrained), ability to work hard (military), ability to work long hours as needed (military), problem solving (military), personal communication skills (military), broad horizons (military--travelling ALOT!), desire to succeed (ingrained and military), and ability to learn and accept new concepts (military, believe it or not).
I think that you need *something* to provide a range of experience, but it doesn't have to be college. That's just the way most people have done it in the past...

"...the arguments they are using are extremely hypocritical (saying they're disgusted at the fans "treating their music as a commodity" when that's just what they do themselves)..."
I feel they are being quite heavy-handed about the whole thing, but as the copyright holder (i.e. its their music), they can treat it pretty much any way they want. If they think of it as a commodity, so what? They aren't breaking the law.
um, the point of standard protocols like PPP is to allow everyone to get onto this large network we call the Internet without having to write your own drivers and/or protocol stack. And if you are suggesting that game developers simply run their own servers, try playing any online game (except many older MUDs) without lag. The reason? Lots of people use the Internet, which congests routers and bogs down servers (I don't mention bandwidth because it would be hypocritical of me, since I am hogging some now with this post:)). The point is, if id software ran ALL the Q3A servers, we'd have to pay like 2 bajillion bucks for a copy of the game to subsidize the costs of the servers, etc AND we'd have to write custom drivers for our modems if they weren't 'popular' enough to warrant JC attending to it himself. And after all of that, the gaming experience would probably still suck due to lag, busy servers, et al.
Specifically, most scientists who have theorized about things that question the biblical account of things are ridiculed, shunned, blackballed, and/or drawn and quartered:)

Its society. Witness poor, ridiculed Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). He advanced the theory that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, disrupting the Ptolemaic system of astronomy.
He wasn't at fault, the society that shunned his discoveries and theories is.
There are countless others that suffered the same fate throughout history.

With the DOJ deal, will this mean that Federal Officers can win jackpots by pushing the right sequence of buttons on a slot machine?

Dogcatcher is pretty respectable :P
Seriously, though, I said your VOTE counts, not your ability/desire to run for office.
(well, if you live in Florida, anyway).
http://www.intercantech.com has a product called AdsOff! that works great and is cheap. Filters out the /. ads too ;)

My hand has its own email address. My girlfriend has her own account on my box so I can finger her.
...I guess everyone else is perfect, having never made a mistake. That's what I have learned from this intelligent discourse.

Ooh! No more long nights spent wondering how to rearrange drive mappings to accomodate a new application without confusing users :)
