There is an issue with keeping students in school these days. There is an even greater interest in keeping them in some of the drier courses. Grades seven to twelve students will tend to abandon subjects unless some immediate reward is at hand. Some computer science courses have been so dry that a computer is hardly needed for the first couple of years as subjects such as the mathematics of computing take forever to plow through in depth. I suspect that these days the classes in computing need to be taught backwards to hold on to the students. Show them an app or game that they like and then teach them how an element of the program was created and why it was created the way that it was. Eventually the entire, simple app construction should be understood by the student.
Another huge issue are the junk computer schools that snag the ignorant and take tax payer money and student loan money with no benefit to the students. For example going from illiteracy to creating powerful, new, computer games and animations in 18 months is absurd. The promise twenty years worth of skill building in a couple of months to candidates who likely will never be more than dish washers or ditch diggers.
This report was on its way to the Swedes when it was leaked. It is more like a request from the US rather than a factual report.
Counter intelligence is sometimes counter intuitive.
Wouldn't a thief simply install a replacement processor? This doesn't sound like much extra security to me. It does sound like an easy way to disconnect large numbers of people whenever a government gets the urge.
From what I have seen it is the close personal contacts among wealthy families that make the difference and not the actual education. There are not so many people that can make a few phone calls and bring heavy investment money into a situation. After all, how many people can invest multi-millions in any project? They tend to know each other and their family members have the path prepared for them due to endowments to old ivy.
First let's make sure that members of Congress get exactly the same pay and benefits as Florida school teachers. Next we can eliminate the Navy and most of the Air Force as that will keep us from invading foreign nations. After all, war is expensive. Next we will eliminate all emergency room care for illegal immigrants as well as all social services for them. Next we can use the Wall Street and bankers to rebuild our roads as punishment for messing up the economy. A few years of wrestling wet concrete and asphalt will sober them up a bit. Then we can pass laws that only allow plain and simple mortgages with no balloon payments, adjustable rates or any other nonsense attached to them. We will also require the original lender to carry the loan until it is paid off. Then we should hold all people caught with illegal drugs for ransom for 180 days. If the ransom is not paid we should execute them.Then we need to tax the hell out of the rich and also tax people a great deal if they have more than one child without regard to how many marriages they may have had.
Can you feel the billions upon billions we could save if we did this?
Not only do i suspect that all OSs have been back doored but I would bet that programs such as encryption or compression types are also usually governmentally modified. I also am dead certain that hardware has also been compromised to do much more than we suspect. I wonder just what it takes to digest all of the information that is collected by covert means these days.
Obviously that judge is corrupt. Just how can a man decide that compulsory auto insurance is legal whereas compulsory health insurance is somehow different. Government has all kinds of requirements that force people top buy insurance. Even insurance on both the interior and exterior of one's property is not uncommon. Perhaps we should all refuse to buy auto insurance to watch this judge try and hold his ground.
All defendants now will receive a not guilty vote by everyone wanting Julian to be free and Wikileaks free to continue. All friends of freedom now vote not guilty. And don't let on that you will do it.
Really! Does the FCC really want to test the anger and rage of frustrated Americans right now? People are getting kicked around quite a bit these days and the last thing the agencies want to incur is wrath and the rage of the public. If anything we need to de-commercialize the net.
The really sick part is that the Pentagon papers of forty years past and the current exposure indicate that excessive secrecy hasn't slowed up a bit.What does it take to get government to be transparent to the very people who vote to create and sustain the government?
John Candy's last film was completed by using digital manipulation of stills from past movie frames. But Lucas is making a sucker's bet with these purchases. Instead of using the entire persona of a dead actor there will soon be a science of merging the characteristics of different actors that have proven to generate public interest. For example back in their day Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley and Pat Boone all generated public interest. So maybe Pat Boone's hair and skin color with the complexion of Elvis and movements with the voice of Ricky Nelson might create a highly desirable persona over which no fees to the original characters need be paid. You could not clearly point to the characteristics as belonging to any character as the blending would alter them enough to make that unlikely. Yet there is surely a list of factors that people like. A young Mickey Roonie was thought of as having a wonderful face whereas John Wayne's height was an asset. Simply blending the two characters might create the next star. When the process becomes efficient enough all human actors will be replaced. In the case of John Candy's last movie I believe that the computerization of his persona was very expensive indeed but it did save the film.
Certainly pressure was applied to cause this absurd arrest. The worst part is that exposing all governmental communications is a wonderful thing to do and Julian is getting punished for it. How can we vote when we are denied the true vision of what government does and is all about? Secrecy makes democracy a joke.
First we do have a right to travel but no right to travel by air is listed in the Constitution. We also have a legal history of severely limiting travel in times of emergency such as the Civil War. We also made travel very difficult in WWII due to gas and tire rationing and the use of rail and bus moving so many troops as to limit civilian access.
And believe it or not the best answer might be to close air traffic with the exception of certain types of business people and medical transport and rescue. Rights such as travel all depend upon us staying alive to enjoy those rights. Frankly anyone foolish enough to resent a pat down or even being required to get naked for inspection when the risk of death to themselves and many others by terror attacks is hard to take seriously. A nude beach might cure these prudes.
Free education is promising and should be extant in the US already. It can replace schools completely with a few exceptions and that includes colleges. Part of the problem is that once this catches on single parent and poor families will be angry as there is no one at home to supervise their kids and a computer and electric and phone service may not be in place as bills often go unpaid. For example think not only of not supporting buildings and school buses but also the concept that a single eighth grade history teacher can cover the entire nation so salaried for teachers and staff can also be eliminated.
The second problem will be in settings standards and making sure that diplomas are completely recognized.
And the third, shocking, huge, highly political issue is what do we do with the millions of displaced teachers, staff and educational supportive industry employees who are no longer needed? Technology will also eliminate the higher professions in the near future. Soup anyone?
It is time for far greater transparency in government. Sure, revelations involving bad deeds will embarrass a few and cause others to lose their positions. But maybe we can build better relationships with other nations by simply being honest and open with all of them. There is simply no need for all of the secrets and double dealing that goes on.
I want a Babe Ruth kind of government. We need not fear truth and openness. The Babe pointed a the spot and knocked the damn ball out of the park. When it comes to foreign relations do exactly the same thing. Be fair. Be reasonable and tell all nations exactly what we intend to do no matter whether they throw us their best fast ball or not. We spend more on our military than any nation on Earth. Why must we having lies and false diplomacy when no nation should be able to harm us in any way. And if they can harm us why do we spend huge sums on our military. It is like declaring we are an economic giant while people can not even find enough of a job to keep food on the table. Seems to me we have become economic midgets.
I'm certain that the Taliban would love it. It's a large target and when they are resting from a hard day of destroying everything in sight they can hide in the shade created by these solar collectors.
As much as I want people to be able to jailbreak their own devices and despite my prejudice against the prosecutors' case any judge that lets lose with a tirade in a court room needs to be removed from the bench. Nobody should be subject to a verbal assault by a judge or other public employee.
Every time a new use is found for something we seem to pay through the neck. Rice, corn, potatoes and wheat can all make fuel for your car or be mixed with gasoline. Anyone priced a bag of spuds lately. Corn is now so expensive that there have been riots in Mexico as they can't make their taco shells. If cinnamon finds industrial uses my toast may never be the same.
I am a US citizen and we are largely a nation of idiots and people so greedy that they are willing to do anything to make a dollar or get a leg up on others. We have some good people but there are less and less all the time.
Apparently our government made use of printers to destroy targets way back when Desert Storm kicked off. Somehow on high end printers, circuits were hidden that would direct smart missiles right into a window. The assumption was that high end printers usually sold to governmental entities or to infrastructure agencies. Apparently it worked well.
We also saw a brand of cell phones sold only by the DEA that were wired to deliver all phone calls to law enforcement as well as the intended conversant. The phones were so superior in quality, and pricey, that drug dealers were almost exclusively buying them. The Miami area lost a lot of drug dealers from that planting.
Particularly music is lost to the world. It is not as if one has an alternative and can go and buy the music or the novel. Try finding Jazz from the dawn of the twentieth century. If you are lucky enough to find it at all it is likely a crudely put up version that is almost useless. And I'm talking about scores not finished music.
Remember the start of dear old Interpol. It was founded as an organized escape aid for upper echelon Nazis during WWII. Funny how they just could not find Nazis but seem to be able to want to arrest Julian. Who ya gonna believe?

A thank you to Mr. Moore for helping Julian. Perhaps these two gentlemen should be considered for a Nobel Peace prise.

This report is likely to be taken as a how to do it manual for some creeps. The bad guys probably know about this sort of thing anyway I suppose.
