In 1918 is that people were still shell shocked by 15 million casualties because of the largest war in recorded history at the time. Massive armies were still in the process of demilitarization, pacifying an already demoralized populace in which submission and civil liberties were not a concern.
Societal upheaval is more than possible in a time of worldwide financial turmoil and food shortages: where world leaders are viewed as the cause of the issues of the common man. Having those same leaders stepping up to reassure the populace of their safety in a global pandemic will be met with outright distrust.
This is a very inflammatory accusation. Can you show anything documented about leaders of a faith group that makes up 1% of the area beating a multibillion dollar operation into submission over something Microsoft is doing on their own property? I find this to be highly unlikely.
Remember that "a friend of a friend told me" statements about religion are never true. Ask Jews about Kristallnacht and Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
According to the account of the Book of Mormon, 2 groups of people, one around 550 BC, sailed to the western portion of what is now central and South America and ran into indigenous people already living there.
Add this with the discovery of Haplogroup X, a genetic marker that appears among Native Americans of European rather than Eastern Asian (read:Siberian Land Bridge) ancestry.

Imagine the rash of car accidents when iFriends and other adult entertainers take to the road.
It's one thing to be on the alert for soccer moms who don't check their blind spot before changing lanes. It's another thing entirely to have distracted drivers watching hot lesbian amateur action in passing Camaros.
Guess it's best for me to stay home and watch the "road report" from my PC. On a GSM phone, of course.:-)
In the words of Rep. Marge Roukema (R-New Jersey): "We've heard testimony from the FBI, the DoJ, and law enforcement that there is a... connection between Internet gambling and money laundering of terrorism activities." Roukema is right.
Do you know why she is right? Because Americans demand these products and services and will procure them from the most available source. Can't wager on sports in Ohio? Go to betonsports.com, hosted in Belize or Costa Rica. Belize and Costa Rica are not federally regulated.
Gambling has been around for thousands of years. Governments have tried to shut down gambling for some time, but they have all failed.
Irresponsible adults still gamble away their life savings. Irresponsible adults still do drugs. Irresponsible adults choose not to wear seatbelts. No government on earth has the power to stop people from destroying their own lives, and that is why this provision of the PATRIOT Act has already failed. Nevada and New Jersey have shown that they are capable of running gaming operations and paying taxes. Why don't they run online gaming sites? Why do Americans send billions offshore to bet on the Packers? Because of regulations that force people to take their business elsewhere.
Somewhere along the way, our elected government lost all of its' common sense, and that lack of common sense buys missiles to al Qaida.
Try using the Atari 5200 or Atari Jaguar joystick without taking your eyes off of the screen.
I thouht I was terrible at Aliens vs. Predator until I realized I kept getting killed because I was staring at the controller more than I was looking at the game.
Every day, I fight the same uphill battle against the moronic bureaucracy that you and I live under. I know it's frustrating that: -Billions of dollars are being spent to keep nail clippers off of airplanes. -Billions more being spent on a department that color-codes our world and tells us to wrap ourselves in plastic wrap, duct tape, and other fetish gear. -Billions on a federal education department that has only made America stupider.
I have the same urge to tee off on the soccer moms and other "If GW says it, it must be golden" types that you speak of... the ones that vote on appearance, or, worse yet, the ones that don't vote and bitch about the way the country is run.
Although I was being sarcastic, lambasting that view if it was serious would have been the worst thing possible. Education of the general public is more important than criticizing the misinformed.
Get people to vote for less federalism and more common sense, and the common sense will follow.
I mean, read the review: -Portable web server -Wireless networking capable -SSH -Able to connect by USB or LAN
This will be a tool at the disposal of every al Qaeda foot soldier and Iraqi intelligence officer. Sharp must be stopped and sanctioned for this negligence. My God... think of the children, man! Good thing I have Homeland Security on speed dial.
"so how is this some major battle to reshape the DMCA?"
Every challenge to the DMCA should be a major battle. It is backed by corporate autoritarianism and stands against the principles of fair use (among other things) that one would expect in a "free" country.
My grandfather fought against Nazi totalitarian federalism in WW II. DMCA, PATRIOT (I & II), SSSCA, the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1995... these aren't the principles that he fought to defend.
Remember NT Server 4.0 achieving DoD C2 Certification?
Remember how MS touted this certification to the world, saying that if it was good enough for the U.S. Dept. of Defense, then it is good enough to be run anywhere on the Internet?
Remember how we found out that the C2 certification applies to a computer ***with no LAN/Internet connection?***
That C2 line smeared thick BS over the eyes of many an IS manager. I can think of several offhand that converted entirely because of that certification.
Give the EFF a few bucks. Support those who can attend.
The first one seems more realistic for those like myself who are stuck in the Midwest on the wrong side of everything. the second is for those of you who are more daring or better connected with people with strong feelings on the issue.
"It's very clear to me now, obviously the/. editors have been replaced with the cyborgs that live among us. I for one, welcome our new android overlords. As a trusted/. personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in thier underground sugar caves."
For those of you who don't know, this is a reference to a line in The Simpsons spoken by Kent Brockman. Episode is called "Deep Space Homer" and is in season 5.
Kevin Mitnick has been behind bars and off of a PC for *how* many years? I understand that little changes with social engineering, but systems have changed enough that Kevin will still be playing catch-up for quite some time.
Ask this question again in 6 months. Kevin will be able to formulate a better opinion then.
>Actually, I have, and been asked "why should I >hire you, if you're going to leave in 2 weeks?"
You don't have to tell them about your training and certifications. You don't have to tell them about your past career and aspirations. Tell them that you used to work with computers and you just need a stable job that you can depend on for a long time. Go to great lengths to tell them that, if anything, you will work around your bar/restaurant/customer service job if a computer job arrives and you will not let your performance suffer there.
Worked for me, and now I am able to fit in 30 hrs/wk on a help desk and 60 on secondary jobs. However, don't think for one second that I've given up on getting back into a big IT shop somewhere.
If it has nothing to do with you "wanting" work, then why not do something "below" you, rather than live off of your girlfriend?
Have you actually appllied for a food service job? A job with Manpower? I've got decent IT credentials, a girlfriend, and (maybe most importantly) a daughter. I can't afford to sit around and wait around for the economy to pick up. I've gone from being an instructor at two colleges and owning my own business to 3rd shift hotel work, restaurant jobs, some short-term contracts... working 90-100 hours a week sure sucks, but I can still pay for my necessities.
"And, think the US has economic problems now? Wait another year. If the tech market doesn't start picking up, a lot (more) of us will end up declaring bankruptcy." "I've maxed my CC's, run out of savings (including 401k), and would presently starve to death if my SO decided to throw me out."
Maybe that's true for some, but not for me. I have too much pride in myself to put all of my eggs in the tech basket, no matter how qualified I feel I am or how much I love my industry.
The desire to succeed is independent of career field. Take a pay cut and gain some lost pride back.
I know what they are doing. They're sending out video clips to MSNBC and watching us... testing us. They've secretly switched on our webcams and microphones to watch and listen to us twist first in glee, then agony as we weigh the moral decision that falls before us on May 15th.
"Ahhh... sweet, stylized violence..." "But they want DRM on my cat's thoughts!"
What is the best way to push product on the web and, in doing so, support websites? -Spam is obtrusive and insanely bandwidth intensive. -Pop-up and pop-under ads are spawned by Satan. -The next-gen pop-ups are better to me (ie. Flash-based spiders crawling across the page before it can be read), but people still hate them. -Google-style text ads only seem to work on Google
Marketroids,/.ers, and Joe SixPack feel that web ads are craptacular. Can anything be done to make web-based ads more palatable?
All the lost sex drive of a serial child molester. Have they stopped repeatedly screwing their customners in the ass with their poor service, high rates, and popup ads?
No? Then make sure that they register as a sex offender in your state and watch your kids.
Instead of investing the time in a second job, why not invest it in your child? The first few years are *unbelievably* important in the bonding process and you can never have them back. Never. No amount of money can ever make up for lost time with a child. So forego all of the latest and greatest Barbie/Furby/Who knows what and just concentrate on being a father. Cut some corners: eat more at home, shop Salvation Army and Goodwill stores, dollar stores, see second-run movies, hold off on the X-Box games or that spiffy MP3 player you've been wanting. The investment in a human being is more important.
The biggest problem I see in America today is the government picking up the slack of the average parent. And, from what I can tell, the government is doing a piss-poor job trying to make up for the screwed-up priorities of an entire generation.
So, forego the second job until your child gets to know you better. Then ease in a few hours at another job later. A new human life is nothing to take lightly.
