    Unless of course the kid puts on a mask and trips it with the fake plate...still busted, try to talk a judge into believing it was not you.

  2. Re:What a tap dancer on CSIS Cybersecurity Commission Chairman Jim Langevin Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this is why he tap danced around my question number nine...I see the VP for Trustworthy computing at Microsoft is involved.

    Langevin and McCaul are Co-Chairmen of the Commission, along with Lt. Gen. Harry Raduege (Ret.), Chairman of the Center for Network Innovation at Deloitte & Touche, and Scott Charney, Vice President for Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft.

    He did not answer either one of my questions, six and nine.

    All I see is , bla, bla, bla, bla...

    In fact did he answer any of them?

  7. Re:programming != managing on How Do I Manage Seasoned Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I had a boss one time tell me that he wanted me to stay on a technical path. What
    he really wanted was, not to have try to find someone to replace me. I called him
    about a hour later and told him nobody dictates my career path but me, I walked out
    the door 5 minutes later.

    You don't owe your career path to no one, if someone attempt to put a limit on your
    career like this pack up and leave immediately.

  8. Single Platform Vulnerability on Ask Cybersecurity Commission Chairman Jim Langevin About US Cybersecurity Plans · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It is no secret that our nations national security is threatened by the current single
    platform strategy. The lack of operating system diversity creates a fatal environment
    in which a single system flaw can expose all govt facilities and networks. As it stands
    today a single serious vulnerability could be exploited to blackout most if not all of
    our govt infrastructure.

    How do you intend to address this serious problem?

  9. Hiring Practices And Education on Ask Cybersecurity Commission Chairman Jim Langevin About US Cybersecurity Plans · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I noticed briefly in the document that it mentions the inability of the Govt. to hire the
    necessary talent to combat these issues. Namely it mentions the drop in CS student enrollments and
    attempts to relate it to the .com burst. In reality the American IT profession is under assault by
    both outsourcing and the current H1B visa program.

    How do you intend to increase CS enrollment when the job market is being eroded by these two factors?

    I'm an American and don't understand it myself...

    Let me hit you with a clue stick, I spent 10 years of my life defending that flag. Millions of Americans
    have fought, died or served to defend that flag as well, it certainly deserves it's prominence.

    It is not there yet? I don't have to run anti virus on my Linux box and therefore do not have to worry about some crapware removing my system binaries. Oh yea it could not remove them anyway unless I ran said crapware virus scanner as root.

    I may run Windows some day, but it just is not there yet!

  17. Re:Applying science to the vote on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    The reason you where having such issues with the graphing is because Obama has no data points. Hard to graph someone with
    zero historical data points.

    If one removes monetary motivation by lowering local wages with such schemes as outsourcing H1B visas etc you remove the motivation to
    learn.

    I really don't see either of these idiots helping the situation. They seem to be perfectly happy chopping American workers off at the knees.

  19. Not exactly true on How We Used To Vote · · Score: 4, Informative

    The states actually determine who is a eligible voter. Some states deny voting privs to convicted felons, some can vote reguardless even in prison and others can vote if there imposed sentence has been served. Personally I think once a mans
    sentence has been served he should be eligible to vote else it imposes (taxation without representation) on the individual.

    A great many states have poll day registration you walk in with a utility bill, drivers license or something of that sort and
    you can register to vote right then and there.

  20. We have the reliable scan cards on How We Used To Vote · · Score: 1

    Fill a circle in run it through a scanner, nothing could be more simple and foolproof. I am
    really unsure why any voting district would want to use anything other than the scan card system.

  21. LTSP on Shuttleworth Says Canonical Is Not Cash-Flow Positive · · Score: 1

    LTSP was cool and a good idea until the bottom dropped out of the hardware prices. It no longer is that much
    more cost effective than buying a Linux preloaded machine. I don't even know of any companies deploying Citrix any longer for the very same reason.
