Do you think that corporate programs work better? There are those who would seem to push a political agenda that government workers are incompetent whenever it suit them, but the reality is that all groups of humans have various 'issues'. I would argue that entrenched interests form even tighter bonds in corporate systems, but civil service reform (if you knew the history, you'd know why it was needed) makes it tougher to clean them out once identified. As jobs, people and conditions change over time, the labor force of any organization takes 'gooming' and realignment, however there is always a stream of people who claim that they are the ones who can 'clean it up'. Personally, I can't recall the last politician who didn't promise to 'clean up Washington', or something like that; seems to me that it's the most broken campaign promise ever. Only a would be executive's promise to 'manage expenses' could be a more often futile narrative.
That's why the next big social network will have to be open sourced, as it's the only way that service providers could standardize. Otherwise we will be in a world where most people depend on one company who 'owns' your most important data in it's own format and those that don't can't communicate as well.
This is why the founding fathers were so against a central banking firm in America.
As George Washington created the First Bank of the United States, I think that you are wrong. Despite what you may hear for hours a day on reactionary talk radio, the founding fathers had varying opinions on the role of government.
Users should have to jump through some hoops when handling executables
Such as not running as root/Administrator? However, I know plenty of professional SAs who could take that advice; it's just easier to run that way and they (in theory) know how to deal with permissions.
Also, not all attachments are executable, yet most blanket exclude them all, so it eliminates one of the best ways to casually transport files. Worse, those that only go after attachments that appear to be executable miss some and create a false sense of security when dealing with them.
I don't really know the answer to this problem, I only know that all the solutions I have seen are not enough.
It took them two years of active well funded searching to find the big aluminum container which marked the location of those bodies. Perhaps Bin Laden is too deep to be crab food (as I kinda like to think that he is), but I really doubt if they'll find him by himself on the seabed.
Thanks to inflation they can steal the value of your money without ever taking it out of your account.
Anarchists, Luddites and others have been saying pretty much since people have been banking. The tea party seems to have picked up some of that same 'anti-banking' spirit that challenged George Washington when his administration created the First Bank of the United States.
Medicare, like any insurer may change it's paperwork in an effort to make the process more accountable. As it's an international standard that has already progressed to ICD-10-CM, it's probably about time.
Yea, there's an idea for eavesdropping, place a bug in a spot with a lot of general noise when operating and where few people have conversations. If they required that you put it on your dashboard and announce yourself first, then I'd start to wonder such things. If this is the best that Red China can come up with, well then, no wonder communism is on the wane.
All the 'spying' that they need is done just by being active and identifiable at specific points, like ezpass. Perhaps the thing was just built by a committee, or someone who wanted to sell extra parts, or had a large engineering margin. People get so worked up about the silliest of menudo, while the real suppression becomes 'old news' and accepted. Oddly all this does is make them far less capable of spying than the City of London (when if comes to cars, but I'm sure that they keep great records on people).
People do pay 'big' cash for kidneys, I believe that there was even talk of legalizing the trade in places. It's not hard to see why some people would be willing to sell their own 'extra' organs for what they might see as a princely sum. Many people die from just such circumstances every year, it's a sad reality. The fact that one of the things he bought was an iPad2 is only a detail showing that his 'needs' were purely superficial and enough to get picked up as a story by Slashdot.
nobody by that name lives or has ever lived at those addresses as far as I know.

Freedom has had nothing to do with how America is governed for a while now.
I know for a fact that people have been saying things much like that for more than 200 years, such attitudes would seem to be a part of human nature. Even though more of us are living longer, happier, peaceful lives than ever before in the history of the world (percentage and total numbers), every step of the way there are those that put out a 'hue-and-cry' that it will all be crumbling at any moment.
As it's part of our safety instinct, people will always listen for trouble. Evolutionists might argue that one of the primary reasons for communication is warn others about trouble. However, some do so not because it makes an sense, but only because it sounds serious. Talk radio and the cable news channels' best audience are those who keep an ear out for trouble, and I believe create a narrative specifically to encourage such people to continue watching. If the their most loyal audience doesn't hear trouble, they go somewhere they can. This trouble doesn't have to be with the government and society, but it needs to be plausible to the audience, so for a modern society curses and witches would be channel changer (to the channel showing ghost hunter programming).
All of us have this nature, but for some of us this 'hue-and-cry' comes at seemingly odd times or for problems often faced. Most are expressing genuine concern, but some do so simply for the audience, mass media has allowed such people to earn a living at it. Jack Van Impe has been making a living predicting the end of the America/world since the early 50s; Rush Limbaugh, not quite as long.
The Bell Rocket Belt used hydrogen peroxide as it's fuel for the 'flight', which typically lasted about 20 seconds, a helicopter engine is very much a different beast altogether. Its best known use was in a James Bond movie 'Thunderball' and as a halftime act for at 60's Superbowl. The fuel was so volatile that each launch took special preparation. Not that long ago there was still a stunt man who had built one which had a limit of 30 seconds, but it's easy to see why it would never be practical for anything but a stunt show.
This could get a certain amount of use, if only as a resort novelty. Perhaps a few Wall Street types might hop in from Jersey on a nice day, but most of us will likely never see the flight of one in person. I'd like to see this technology advance, but all things in aviation have specularly reported accidents, the results of which either propel safety advances (like jet aircraft) or ended commercial use (like the Hindenburg, or SST).
Wow a young woman seems to figure out one of the greatest mysteries of our era, you make a snarky comment implying that she's fat. That must be why there are so few 'geek' women, as the boys apparently go strait for the gut when a lady seems smarter than they. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much discussion about this that isn't sophomoric banter.
Naming things is a tough task often accomplished inadvertently, also you have to remember that these names could be centuries old. Calling something jumbo might seem pedestrian now, but when P. T. Barnum named his large elephant 'Jumbo' it was quite novel.
What do you want? A space liner with a lido deck? Bigelow space is working on an inflatable space habit, which I'm sure would be perfect for asteroid interception. However if you want real luxury, you'll need to wait another 10 - 100 years.

We needed a book that taught programmers proper hygiene.
Look for it hidden in any book on manners, if you don't find it right away, just keep on such reading until you get it.
Well, you should tell that to the Teamsters as they mistakenly believe that they do represent them.

Obamacare eliminates pre-existing conditions.
this could make a good single-seat escape pod for future space stations or vehicles.
It's cork heat shielding is only good for suborbital flights. Also, I shouldn't need to tell you why a single seated escape pod would be a lousy idea.
