Ask the people in Gitmo how their prosecution is proceeding. And while you are at it ask all the people grabbed by Special Rendition about their prosecution status.
The US has demonstrated that there is a huge difference between holding someone and prosecuting them. So while the Justice Department may correctly say that prosecution is unlikely to occur, that in no means ensures that someone won't suffer any consequences.
just started reading from that link and then I found this paragraph in the story:
Ultimately, you would expect that there would be riots across America. But the people could not riot. The terrorist scares at the beginning of the century had caused a number of important changes. Eventually, there were video security cameras and microphones covering and recording nearly every square inch of public space in America. There were taps on all phone conversations and Internet messages sniffing for terrorist clues. If anyone thought about starting a protest rally or a riot, or discussed any form of civil disobedience with anyone else, he was branded a terrorist and preemptively put in jail. Combine that with robotic security forces, and riots are impossible.
Simple: The conservative party who were the only ones to vote against this were in the minority. The centre-left party, the green party and the GLBT folks voted for the Linux transition. It was a vote for long-term indipendence against short-term planning and a matter of principle.
And thats the difference between Germany and the US. In the US there are only two parties Right and Righter, so there no balancing effect.
in 2008, a Russian cosmonaut brought a laptop aboard with the W32.Gammima.AG worm, which quickly spread to the other laptops on board. Switching to Linux will essentially immunize the ISS against future infections.
Yes indeed.. prescreened in some sense.. you get to go through a shorter line and not take off shoes, belt, etc. or remove the laptop from the back. Kind of like going back to the 80s.
However, as more people participate in this program, the lines are getting longer. It used to be that there would be nobody in the Pre-Chek line and I'd breeze through (sneering at the proles who aren't *special* like I am; you might imagine me also using the Lexus Lane on the freeway, as my driver blew past the commoners in the other lanes).
This not a pre check line (and the pre-check line was also operating).. this is something else. What I saw only allows to skip ahead to just prior to the xray machine. The people still had to take their shoes off etc. What this line did was save you standing around in a huge mess of people waiting to go through the xray machine.
Though in all seriousness and fairness, English may not be voislav98's first language. How many languages do you speak well?
Hmm I can speak the following:
1. Australian English 2. American English 3. English English 4. Canadian English 5. Indian (dot) English (Well I can understand it.. just can't speak it)
Maybe reexamine the way mental illness is treated and use the money improve.
While I agree with you on the funding aspect, in this case the shooter apparently was not displaying any signs of instability prior to the event. That makes it kind of hard to detect ahead of time unless you start having mandatory mental health checkups.
If the LAX shooter had been interested in mowing down passengers instead of TSA agents, then armed guards at the TSA checkpoints would have done nothing to protect those passengers. At LAX in places like Terminal 3, the lines to the security checkpoints can flow out of the building and onto the sidewalk creating a massive concentration of terrorist targets. Protecting them 100% with armed guards would require 10 times the number of agents that are currently employed. Providing armed guards at the checkpoints themselves only protects those around the checkpoints i.e. the TSA agents themselves.
If anything the best way to protect the passengers is to process them from the street and into the secured terminal at a faster pace, which would require a huge increase in TSA checkpoints. This is an inherently parallelizable task, but would require money to be spent. But terminals in places such as LAX aren't designed for such parallel operations. Using Terminal 3 as an example, you enter from street level then go up a flight of stairs/escalator, following an S-shaped path that snakes around back on itself before arriving at the security checkpoint. Once there, there is only enough room for 2 or 3 parallel operations at once.
BTW last time I was flying out of Orlando I encountered a private company that would sell you the ability to jump to the front of the TSA queue. So instead of building out the infrastructure to better accommodate the passengers in light of having to go through the TSA, the airport grants a license to this company to exploit the frustrations and $$ of the people in the queue. (Which is turn pisses off the other passengers who experience smug people pushing in front of them in the queue and highlighting of how class based US society is).
Wonder how much pressure the PM is getting from Washington?
No no no.. don't you know how a ventriloquists dummy is operated? I'll give you a hint, the TSA has been practicing how to control the US population using the same manner.
People don't like having pointed out the logical inconsistencies of the way the do things, and it has a tendency to piss them off. This is not limited to TSA personnel. However the consequences of pissing off certain people (especially those who hold power over you) is something that you need to take into consideration before you do so.

I use regexes related to the site name/function. (*)
Now the hackers have 2 two problems when they want to break into my account!
* I actually I do incorporate regex like strings.
In other words, I have no reason to assign any meaning to these numbers.
Given the reaction to the previous article I don't know what this guy is even trying to do.
And why 6084? What is so special about that number?

Yes, that was my first thought when reading the article.
And since you did not provide a link here is one for people wondering what we are talking about.

I blame Game of Thrones.
That was something on TV, right? I wouldn't know because I don't have a TV. My life improved 110x when I stopped watching TV.
And imagine how much better all of our lives would be if you also stopped posting on /.
I blame Game of Thrones. Although you'd think Joffrey would be example enough to discourage monarchy.
Hey now .. don't knock GoT. Any new form of government that brings back more boobies has got to be good!
Lizzy Bordon was acquitted.
"Reputation managers" (Aka professional lairs) are everywhere. You'll see a lot of them here on slashdot.
Yeah .. its been a while since I saw them here, but Natalie Portman must have hired them by the dozen.

All they are doing now is stepping up their tap dancing in the hopes that people will fail to see the obvious about their bundled downloads.
It forces you to sign up with Comcast and waits for their lawyers to attack you!
While I was digging around to try and find out what SCADA systems the ISS uses (which I never found), I did find this: international-space-station-switches-from-windows-to-linux-for-improved-reliability which has:

There were no dupes, and all TFS's had perfect spelling and grammar.
They went shopping, bought a silver pen for handwriting electrical circuits and attached it to a printer???? (Although a plotter would be a better choice)

Probably a better link is Wrongful Execution:United States where they sure as hell didn't have the criminal, but went ahead and executed them anyway.
