Oh my God - who was president during 2001 - 2008? Oh, that guy, the guy that oversaw illegal wiretaps and domestic spying and lying to the nation about reasons for going to war and politicized the justice department and the US Attorneys and the civil rights commission and even the interior department and self-justified torture on captives and outed one of our own agents for political revenge and who refused to consider the need to address climate change and that lowered taxes on the wealthy even more and who had the talent to sound like a complete and unforgivable idiot within 5 seconds of opening his mouth at any time - that guy?
Clarification: the US government isn't in the business of trying to run other countries. They are trying to maintain a safe environment for the business dealings of corporations and entities in other countries.
Alternately, the entire 1966 social security management application is being ported to a palm pilot connected to a cell phone (ATT) and managed part-time by a contractor who is a full-time SQL programmer and dba.
Looking at today's headlines, this concept would work well in capital cities as new regimes come and go. In university towns, your apartment could roll in for however many semesters you were there. If it was small enough, you could attend class from your apartment. Your city could self-configure itself overnight based on social network "friend" settings.
The home of the future is a freight container cube.
Looks like many with more background into the Lamo-Manning relationship have posted more relevant stuff below. Still think they should publish what they have.
If Wired wants to practice journalism and the details of Manning's arrest warrant disclosure, they should do so. The US constitution is behind them. Of course, we don't get to decide for ourselves if the details warrant disclosure unless Wired publishes them, or at least implies what they are ("Wired has learned that Manning was arrested.....").
Go for it Wired. Be something besides a graphic advertisement drafting table, or a tech-porn site.
There is no doubt that anyone wanting to create a boa-lostmyhouse.com address can be infinitely more creative than B of A can be in anticipating what that address might be. And ultimately it doesn't matter at all. You can post the same information at www.abc123-etc.com as you can on an address called boa-sucks.com. It's the information and dialogue that will be damaging (from the company's perspective), not the URL. If that's not obvious to them, why are they being entrusted with the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars?
Exactly. One thing this project has shown is that Homeland Security needs a threat-level website and a threat-level radio frequency. They can broadcast the threat level continuously, not in a small handful of discreet levels but in a nearly granular spectrum from blissful to bowel-blowing terror. Say, update the threat level 100 times a second based on CIA/NSA intercepts and analyses, local input from around the country ("who are those guys over by the water tower? Barney, notify DHS!), and presidential directives or maybe heart and stress monitors on the executive staff digitally averaged out and included in the total.
This opens the door for all sorts of notification devices: meters, iPhone apps, embedded web objects, the possibilities are endless. The broadcast can include color monitors of the exact threat levels across the country on a map, to see how the national threat level appears in Chicago or Birmingham, for example.
There is nothing like a human in distress on which to practice the analysis of a human in distress. Dummies can only display a short list of items to assess, view, watch. They are extremely limited. And they have become an excuse for supplying less hands-on experience, which is what is really needed, because getting that experience is less convenient and more costly. I don't care what statistics you invent to prove how wonderful they are.
Tell me that the attacks both visible (from idiots like Lieberman) and less visible (from so-called "hackers") are not the signs of cyberwarfare being directed against the power of free information via Wikileaks.
And how far down the list of these questions could the researchers have progressed so far, without publicity? They probably don't know the answer to many of these yet; we'll see.
2 reasons she remains in the spotlight: One, she has been blessed with a charisma that makes it difficult for many people to take their eyes off her. Put her on TV or on a podium, and you can't help watching that thing. The stupid effluvia just add to it.
Two, she and Newt Gingrich have the same job: people are paying them to say outrageous right-wing-based things that electable officials can't say or admit in public. They move the public discussion to the right (for example, she can publicly back crazier whackos to run for office, who say more extreme stuff themselves) , and they are not hurt by it since they are responsible to no one. She couldn't do those things as well as she does if she were governor.
Yes it's a bit better, but I'm still waiting for the awesome part. I mean, it's just light colors associated to wavelengths and reacting to volume. I'm not trolling, but I'm truly wondering what the excitement is. Are others really excited by this? If so, it must be me.
It's an opportunity! Before we can properly investigate the ecosystem of this bacteria, let's genetically engineer bacteria that DOES produce oil-like hyrdocarbons from inner-earth energy and substances, and seed the inner earth to provide us with sustainable oil "indefinitely", and to eventually kill us because we destroyed something vital that we didn't yet understand (and that kept us filling the atmosphere with CO2). This is what market forces are all about!
Be careful what you wish for. They can pack 2 boxes of cheerios, a quart of milk, and a candy bar and truthfully call it "enough resources for a lifetime".

I think I've found an economic stimulus package.
It's global warming, it causes everything to rise.
and so are the cooks and all their descendents.
And the answer is...
There is nothing like a human in distress on which to practice the analysis of a human in distress.
Dummies can only display a short list of items to assess, view, watch. They are extremely limited.

Misleading.
The top 2% may pay a much smaller % of income tax than the % of income they make.
>>Firstly, how do you work out who sent it?
By tracing it.

Besides the civilian issue, no one seems to have considered that it's just a matter of time before the enemy uses these too.
Game changing indeed.
