Actually, it has the tone and tenor of the speech codes that many universities have.
It's a given that accommodating National Security and Freedom of Speech here in the states is a delicate balancing act, but the restrictions on speech one finds at universities are gratuitous and serve no purpose.
Does anyone have an example of speech being restricted that is not solely designed to prevent the dissemination of information that could result in harm to U.S. troops or citizens?
Basic, Pascal, C, C+, C++, Objective C, Java, Small Talk, (endless variations of "talk"), etc,etc,etc.
When will someone finally say enough? When can I stop learning the latest re-arrangment of the same damn languages? Has anyone really come up with something New?
That's the religious icon of the "educated" class prior to Global Warming. So they passed a bunch of laws and now it will cost me $2000 to fix (make that "replace") the AC in my car. But the damn hole is still there and they have no f--king clue why.
I predict they will be just as clueless in a few decades when the temperatures are below their current Chicken Little prognostications.
This is what happens when Science is replaced by Politically Correct fanaticism.
There is a problem with the whole embryonic stem cell debate that is like the proverbial elephant in the room. It appears at this point, to have a viable research program and therapeutic program you would need a steady supply of women willing to donate human eggs.
I have it on good authority that this process is somewhat less pleasant and far more complicated than donating sperm.
Ahh...just on the news this morning....AFTER performing the two scheduled tasks on the scheduled space walk, an astronaut (didn't get the name) pulled the two pieces of ceramic filler out as easily as pulling out a Kleenex.
The "velcro" lost, the astronauts won, all with about as much horror as watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Well, I guess Mr. Rogers can be kinda scary for some.
Within the polite confines of a civilized society, one may be inclined to seek alternative methods to mitigate violence than just violence in return. However, terrorist operate outside of civilized society. They respect no rules. They seek no real objective other than terror.
In that case, it is necessary to bring violence to the terrorist, multiplied many times over.
The only thing that has ever stopped violence throughout history is greater violence. Some would say that breeds more violence, but that is not the case. What breeds violence is complacency and ambivalence to the threat of violence.
Where do I say we should kill indiscriminately? I say we need to be ruthless and calculating in exercising these bastards from the planet.
There is nothing immoral about killing a terrorist. There is something immoral about standing up for them, suggesting we need to understand them (except to better find and kill them), or making a moral equivalence between us and them.
And I don't recall any law enforcement successes. And even if there were, folks who think like you would be outside the jailhouse protesting some make believe abuse before they could even be arraigned.
No, these people don't need to be arrested and tried, no more than members of the SS Waffen needed to be arrested and tried. Catch them and Kill them.
It doesn't matter what they hate or why they hate it. All that matters is they kill indiscriminately. Their actions ARE irrational; there is no reasoning with people like this. Terrorists are a cancer on civilization and they need to be cut out with the same ruthlessness and calculation as you would a tumor.
The war on terror could have prevented something like this if it was being taken seriously. Instead, "Old Europe" still approaches this like a law enforcement problem. It's not. This IS a war, and the enemy doesn't give a shit about the Geneva Convention. It's an international knife fight and if you worry about the rights of your opponent, then you are likely to get dead.
And by the way, if you seriously think there is even a little bit of validity that the assertion that the American Revolutionary Army could be terrorists, you are either profoundly ignorant of the principals of warfare or you are truly a MotherFucker..I suggest you read this: http://www.ejectejecteject.com/archives/000125.htm l to gain a ture understanding of the difference.
"WinFS was intended to create a systemwide data-indexing system accessible to Windows and to various applications"
Not being I hacker, I can't be sure, but it seems to me that something like this would be the first place to look for a way to really hose up someone's machine.
In a September 8, 1945 dispatch, Weller walked through the city -- a "wasteland of war" -- and found evidence to back the talk of radiation fallout from American radio reports.
Though thousands of burn victims had died within a week after the attack, doctors were stumped by "this mysterious 'disease X"' which sickened and was killing many Japanese as well as allied soldiers freed from prison camps a month later.
From the actual article: As one whittles away at embroidery and checks the stories, the impression grows that the atomic bomb is a tremendous, but not a peculiar weapon. The Japanese have heard the legend from American radio that the ground preserves deadly irradiation. But hours of walking amid the ruins where the odor of decaying flesh is still strong produces in this writer nausea, but no sign or burns or debilitation.
Nobody here in Nagasaki has yet been able to show that the bomb is different than any other, except in a broader extent flash and a more powerful knock-out.
Why am I not surprised that some dumbass reporter ignored the rules, went to into a restricted area, then reported what we now know to be incorrect information?
Sure maybe people were not turned into shriviling piles of flesh from the residual raditation, but given what little was known about nuclear weapons, it was stupid thing to do.
It reminds me of an idiot who ignores the sign warning of thin ice, walks out onto the lake, and jumps up and down proclaiming..."see the ice isn't thin!"
Nasa has been doing this kind of crap ever since they finished the Space Shuttles.
They start down a promising path of cheaper, more efficient access to orbit, just ditch the research.
Personally, I think it's the middle managers that are screwing everything up. Administrations and directors come and go, but the morons in the middle are always around.

Hey,
I saw these guys knocking over a Walmart during the looting! They were cleaning out the Sardine supply.
Of course, it would be George Bush's fault.

I, for one, am looking forward to purchasing some of the newest beach front property in the world.
Anyone know which Real Estate agent to contact?
...already control hurricanes. After all, didn't Bush create and steer Katrina to New Orleans so he could wipe out all them democrats?
I bet they are doing a hell of a monkey dance in Redmond now.
Actually, they will encrypt the key data and prohibit the duplication of the key by anyone except a dealer....at $100 a pop.
They will use the DCMA Act to sue anyone who provides a mean to do so on your own.

Does anyone know how you get the job of coming up with ways for the earth to be destroyed?
Just wondering.

I put something like that through my Pringles can and was able to ping a server in Tokyo.

Punching out the school bully worked out well for me. He never even as much as said boo to me or my friends after that.

Great, all we need is Microsoft technology in a system like this. My grandmother will no doubt be flagged as a terrorist.
Then we'll have to reboot the nation.
