Posting military documents that get leaked is not just journalism and should not be protected. What gets overlooked is that most countries spy on each other, and have vast amounts of other countries encrypted mail. This is not a problem until someone leaks the actual wire. By amassing enough of these unencrypted vs. encrypted matches other countries can get a real leg up in the computing time needed to crack keys. So while the state dept might end up with egg on its face this "journalism" winds up with huge potential for dead soldiers. I'll admit this is extreme, but possible.
Doesn't the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act include 80 billion over 10 years for alternative energy research rather than the 16 billion the article suggests?
Disclaimer - I wrote that post on a Mac. I was just messing around. Myt father always said its better to be a smart ass than i dumb ass. I had just watched an episode of south park and was imagining how they would handle the characterization of a PC user switching to Mac. I use a PC for programming, WoW and Starcraft. Mac for everything else... Its never hard to make either camp of zealots angry, they are always just so...ready to be offended.
What you really need to do is this. Buy a couple plaid shirts, some black socks and some Birks but make sure you pay a lot for them. Get some capri pants at the GAP (make sure you pay full price). Next, get some patchouli scented shave lotion and a Mac(don't worry...you will pay full price for this and we have begun.
Go home set up your make and get changed, you are now a Mac owner!
You will find that tagging, sorting,arranging via meta data is easy. Its living that has become hard. Now you must tag everything using iambic pantameter and haiku. Instead of tagging things buy the current dating system use what day of the BP disaster it is. If your wife asks you what you are doing, try to be condescending... no one understands you anymore but steve.
While tagging your photos try to use the words postmodern and neo a lot. it will begin to feel natural soon...
Good luck!

I would be more curious to see just how much data was being collected as they moved throught the hotspot. Chances are the only things that they recieved of value were the packet headers. I doubt that they are able to follow a tcp stream in any meaningful sense. In canada here we have a privacy watchdog who was formed with no public input, who, with no informed input decided what is important to canadians with regard to privacy. This office then makes uninformed technical decisions on what constitutes a violation and hold press conferences which get my parents and grandma all scared. The articles surrounding google look like something our privacy commish would write. pure FUD i think
SO BP didn't tell the entire truth , or the higher ups were getting best case figures? Wow, ALERT!! The guy with the funny sig has BREAKING NEWS! OMFG! Corp full of shit.. on right after the Jesus moped story!
Completely BS writeup of the article. This is a straightforward and common tactic used by companies in situations like this. Yes, with all the band-wagoning and rhetoric surrounding the issue its not even a bad idea.
The spill is obviously a tragedy of incredible proportions, which invites entirely too much disinformation, half truth and anecdotal evidence. No matter what BP did here they would be crucified for either having no strategy, or (like the poster did) assuming the strategy was a CYA move.
Everyone is so busy hating right now must forget that BP was a darling until this happened. They gave 7 million to politicians last year, testified before congress, were given one of the largest tax breaks in history by the bush regime.
we all helped create this monster. live with it.
They used to have a game called Calvinball where the rules were made up as they played the game and ever changing. Dealing with Apple (or even thier bedmate ATT) is a lot like playing CB....sigh
It seems as though they have found that splitting the file, whoops, lawsuit up into many pieces that can be individually downloaded, whoops dealt with in no particular order is a more efficient protocol, whoops, business model. What will they think of next?!

How delightfully obtuse. Breathing and eating are not the same game, they not even the same sport. But if I was going to grant your capital letter filled misinformation with a reply it would be that if those particles were say.... asbestos (which would be the particle analagy to food preservatives that I would draw) then
YES
my plan to live forever would be thwarted
Screw politics, its a health issue

We don't know nearly enough about how the bady will react to the ingestion of nanoparticles. Things so small that they could literally rush right into the bloodstream, which could be a small deal if we are talking about vitamins, but a big deal if we are talking about chemical preservatives. The idea is great, the science has yet to prove consumption safe.
Jewish boys and girls become men and women at 13, not 18? In Iran its 15, In Scotland its 16.
Who decided you weren't being taken advantage of at 18? does something magical happen on the last night of your 17th year that renders you mature?
It really seems to me as a Canadian, that in America the only thing you need to do to pass a law that continues the steady erosion of civil liberties is to pull out the terrorism card. Its all powerful, even if it has no rational place in the arguement.
Since I believe that the truth is often just below the surface my question would be what are other reasons for passing this law? Who else would be served by this?
America has been busily passing laws since Sept 11th, but how many terrorist attcks have there been on American soil? Oh sure, occasionaly we are told of one that was averted at the last second and, thank God for the near miss, lets pass some laws. Since Sept 11th more people have died from drunk driving than terrorism on American soil, so can it REALLY be about saving lives?
BTW- if you disagree with me you are not a PATRIOT, you side with the TERRORISTS and HATE FREEDOM.. I'm just sayin...
The projects codename.. which means "the end" or the fact that now the gov't can rely on IMHO the absolute last people to know about the problem,and are at fault.. to give them early warning.
This is exactlty where I find issue with so much of the whining I hear surrounding this issue. To be able to have a sense of victimhood AND entitlement at the same time is nothing short of amazing.
Let me assure you that YOU, personally are completely responsible for every single thing that you type. An assumption of privacy on a free! web! app! (with known and public) is beyond naive.
RTFM
Not to mention this this problem could be seen coming for miles and miles and miles, has so much precedent with respect to other apps having the same issue. Users like you are like the parents of the last kid to sleep at michael jacksons house acting surprised when the kid claimed he was diddled. what the #%$@ were you expecting?
