If a Puppet-POTUS/POTUS can be purchased, then they are bought and sold. If a politician can be purchased, then they are bought and sold. If a DoJ AG can be purchased, then they are bought and sold. If a judge can be purchased, then they are bought and sold.
It ain't democracy, but what is good for a Czar, is good for a PPOTUS....
Folks, it is just politics for US. Democracy with word-spin, says we vote for selected politicians that support trickle-up (nothing trickles2US) economics for the wealthy. It puts less folks to work and more folks into bankruptcy, but all the money-changers in Washington know how to lovingly squeeze US all to death. It ain't treason... it is the American Banana Republic (US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela...) way of life.
The $1US of ten years ago now has the international purchase value of about $0.25US. The PPOTUS's and leaders of the last 20+ years presided over the fall of US telecom, medical, auto, education, life quality.... Lets not blame the terrorist... like me they don't even vote (they never did).
I gave up voting after Ronnie's election, and politicians are always happy to lose a voted, but never election. Our separate-but-equal medicine, education, food, shelter, safety, income... is a cast culture with the wealthy few taking more every day... next nepotist payroll is $700B... it won't be the last; So, don't FUS is not a possible reality for US children... expect the same that their parents and grand-parents will get the next few+ decades.
Levity Field cosmology, says the known universe is dissipating.
There is nothing in the center of a black-hole, except a Levity Field Singularity (LFS). The physics of how a black-hole LFS can exist is well beyond me, but I think that it is some how connected to the levity field beyond our Einstein-Bohr universe.
No need for dark-mater with levity field mechanics, our known universe must continue to expand at ever grater speed, and eventually dissipate back into... whatever is the levity field.
IOW: Time-travel ain't possible, and our Einstein-Bohr universe is "e-pluribus unum".
Management listens to Marketing/Sales hype. Technologist listen to Research/Developers facts.
Do you listen to facts or hype?
Current economic conditions make it very clear (as did the ".com" burst...many past) marketing hype is always the real danger.
Also, I advise against single points of failure. CC for network services and/or Single/Virtual-OS for servers, desktops... are all (metaphorically speaking) "Genetically predisposed to viral killer and massive systems failures."
"The federal government's data-sharing efforts are a mess" This is very well known and real PRs would not need to state the obvious.
We The People really wants a useful government, but continue to elect tent-revivalist and pick-pocket politicians (most not all are in on the $7B scam).
Set the government's vast amount of data free is total bullshit.
Globally exposing Gov/Mil data/content IS NOT REQUIRED to ensure web-services/SOA and data/content complies with "Open" standards like UTF, ODT, PNG/SVG..., syntax/XML..., semantics/OWL..., synergy/collaboration, topology, ontology... [START HERE: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification, then don't stop RTFM... continue ISO, W3C, OASIS... google some of the words/concepts above... CONTINUE].
"Open" (as in 100% non-Proprietary) ISO/OASIS/W3C... hardware, software, and services International Standards (not corporate/MS/ATT/IBM...) can meet all NetCentric, GIG, ISE requirements without exposing data/content.
Once "Open" Standards happens, corporations will lose a large part of the strangle hold on US/EU Government operations, contracts, and acquisitions. Gov-transformation will happen, but for now much of the Defense Industry (EU and US) act more like the enemy than reliable patriotic allies for US & EU.
"A group of Princeton researchers (follow Download link for full PDF)" is either (or all) not understood by DCBlogs, an early 20090401 prank, or corporate BS attempts to keep the Government (technology clueless C*Os/managers) consuming bullshit from (technology clueless) Biz-Buzz marketeers.
Biz is fucked up wrong about Biz. Gov is right and makes money (not spends/waste)
You ain't serious are you? I mean, really, it is damn funny!
THANKS for the chuckles... already I feel better about my retirement-funds losses.
PLEASE, say something else that is funny... the rest of US need it.... I mean the politicians and C*Os have been leaving me in stitches ROFL for weeks now.
I am just a US Citizen and very A-political. The welfare of "The USA Constitution" and the Public are what I value. When you fuck and betray both, you are a worthless traitor to USAll.
So, liberals/conservatives/independents/libertine/anarchist... are all idiots, because they seek to throw everything of great value overboard as they scuttle the ship in deep waters. IOW: They will take it with them, make sure they are right about nothing, and insist on the worst options, due to faux-instinctive dogma logic [AKA: Self-Centric Reactionary logic].
On a lighter side has there ever been a movie about zombie politicians feeding on the Public until there are more Zombie Public that starts feeding on all the politicians and the C*Os are the evil wizards controlling the zombies, until the C*Os become a junk-food snack...?
You understand industrial-communism dogma economics.
This ain't capitalism we got, that is why our pseudo-capitalism economics works equally well for China and other totalitarian countries.
Business Science is still BS based dogma for the masses. How much does my family suffer when I have $2B in 1991, then we have to make do with $1B in 2008? Anyway, Corporate-welfare is public-extortion, just like public-welfare is government-extortion, but both are being paid for by the lowest 97% of income US Citizen taxpayers. Screw-US is more than a terrorist chant, it is the BigBiz/Gov mantra.
You can follow the economic-dogma, or you can follow the money... one is fact the other is always BS.
In effect, there are three interested parties in this deal, and each one's stake must be wiped out before the next one takes a loss:
1. AIG's shareholders (All investors, big...small, mom&pop retirements... kids college funds... all the first to be liquidated... if...).
2. The government very directly the taxpayers (exploited future generations will pay up)
3. AIG's creditors (no harm... no fowl-shit)
The deal is structured this way in order to rescue creditors (partners in crime... and failures) without rescuing the private (public/citizen) shareholders (which is in MF-Facts very "bad"). This is "good" only in the sense that taxpayers' money doesn't go to help creditors' shareholders (as corporate-welfare), who are still being made to bear NONE of the risk of being wiped out by their company's bad deals with bad partners.
Next time I hear anyone say the government..., we should rememberer the PUBLIC FIRST and fuck the rest as the best way to force wealth distribution from idiots to more responsible capitalist. We have more autocracy than meritocracy in USA economics... that is the real problem.
You can follow the economic-dogma, or you can follow the money... one is fact the other is always BS.
How is 80% ownership of a failed company good for US Taxpayers...? Politicians will surely graciously grant $$$$, then forgive debt and criminal negligence? EnRon, GlobalCross... S&L.......
Corporate Welfare is bullshit defined as economic chocolate pudding, but not Capitalism! Corporate Welfare is more like industrial-communism with a pseudo-democracy label (El President for life of the banana republic of america!).
Consistent economic failure coincidences over decades indicate intent to defraud US of not only our liberty, and guarantees for only the wealthy entitled few any right/ability to pursue happiness.
Present, and for the past few decades, economic model for the puppet republic of America requires those of US that have the least to spend ourselves into bankruptcy for the benefit of all those with the banking, corporate, private education, privileged healthcare....
The clowns and legacy/dogmatic economic theories that produced the current (and all the many past decades of) problematic and debacle-economic failures are still the same dogmatic managers that will fuck US again and again and again... always with plausible excuses and politically supported transient-solutions. Works well for those that have, but always will fuck US and fix nothing (unless we are talking about the eUnuch Servants (eUS) republic of the next generation).
The Iraq conflict/adventure has been for profit not patriotism and has been paid by the blood, health, and life of our Brave and Wonderful Warriors. Shame on US for letting politicians murder our family for their own (and corporate sponsors) profit.
As our Warriors achieved diplomatic (local tribal) solutions to the terrorist in Iraq our politicians took all the credit. Politicians never understood that the terrorist forced from Iraq by improved relationships between locals US Military Warriors were set too migrate back (with new improved skills) into the mountains of Pakistan to reopen the Afgan-front. Politicians have our Warriors tied down in Iraq (with political grand-standing) when our Warriors should be in Pakistan-kush finding and killing BinLadin ASAP/AFAP.
Management Incidence Response (MER) is frequently just another Single Point Of Obvious Failure (SPOOF) for Biz, hardware, software, services... architectures.
MIR SPOOF is reactionary, but most business/government models can only function at a MIR SPOOF level of competence (or is that incompetence).
I agree, best I remember, CGM standard (PNG is okay) for web-display, but SVG standard for CAD/CAM/GIS... storage to download for print/edit....
Anyway..., a real artist (graphic, not music/theater) would use the medium/format that provides the ability to express their creativity and greatest probability for preservation and presentation for posterity (Open Standards/Formats). Even the transient/naturalist new-art hopes to be preserved in a form of permanent/digital media (not relegated to unrecoverable file formats).
The artist-authentic that creates for themselves are a very rare-breed (except theoretical, music, verbal/theater). Not until the last century was artist-authentic objects (most lost/tossed in trash) preserved for museums/posterity.
Pre-1900 being Graphic/Object avaunt-guard/artist-authentic was a sure way to be executed a/o die poor, hungry, disrespected.... Most (close to all) surviving human graphic/object art is exploit/patron (pharaoh... king... dogmatist) preference pretense-art/architecture. Antiquity graphic/object art provides a resultant historical, archeological, engineering, science... value, but absolutely no graphic/object artist-authentic value/aesthetics.
Anyway, exploit/patron preference "pretense-art" expresses the darker, evil, petty, selfish... side of human nature (much like a $+100K car...), JMO.
If I were a company C*O with all L/FOSS products (for servers, services, desktops...), and my software maintenance/service provider could not deliver a stable IT/IS enterprise environment, then I would fire my L/FOSS service provider as soon as I could find and contract another far better L/FOSS service provider.
Would this be sane or insane (w/ or wo/MS and proprietary products)?

"we live in a world where some people are determined to control others, then everyone else has no choice. Unfortunately a minority of people, seek power over others and they are obsessed with finding new ways to control other people (for their own gain), but what they fail to realize, is their acts of control create a pressure for change away from their control. The power seekers throughout history have tried to create a bias in their favor, but it never lasts."
Plutocrats are pitiful faux-prophets (or is that for profit) politicians (not civil servants), corporatist (not capitalist), clergy (not local clerics), aristocrats (not mentally and emotionally healthy people)... we know them by their reach for what is not theirs and by many name titles and names.
All plutocrats are scurrilous sycophants seeking slavery and subjugation of others by usury, dejure, and/or dogma, because as people they are without human values/honor. All plutocrats are remorseless and unconscionable criminals genetically endowed with an egocentric ethos and highly credible social-skills.
Until all people seeking careers (government, business, religion...); which provide authority to direct the activities others, are extensively psychologically evaluated for psychopathic criminal tendencies/ethos; Well, I expect, the Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Cheney/Bush, C*O... type lowbrow characters will continue to plague US, EU....
Did you tell the Swedish ISP Tech Support Guy it is a way to make sure there is a separate but equal sharing of bandwidth. IAP (CableCo/TelCo in the USA) based on dejure caprice and corporate-welfare dynamics are legally required fleece and service their customers/nation in any way possible.
If you consider this USA corporate-welfare economy capitalist, then you are another dogma-fool that simply spews spin-truth.
Why does this "new conservative" style of economics work equally well or better in China (a totalitarian state), India (a social- cast state)...?
Obviously you were born to follow, but never think.
Free "Open" source code is proving to be the last bastions of Freedom and Capitalism in the Western Cultures. "Open" source code demands creativity and innovation to be competitive in an "Open" "Free" capitalist economy, and provides a non-government/UN economic engine for development in third world countries by wealth growth levelling of economic conditions.
Present patent and copyrights laws are industrial-age legacy systems supporting corporate-welfare and oppressing creativity, innovation, discovery, and economic growth.
The Western Cultures are slaughtering their only real-value cash cows, because dogma-safe is not creative-risk. US/EU world-bank global economic theory fails to understand and defeat dogma-economics, and accepts fear and retreat in to the status-quo of industrial age bad-economic .
WOW or BFD China, Microsoft, Russia, Dell, Iran, SCO... are always doing the same shit to US, EU....
Presently the US, EU... corporatist are techno-failures on infrastructure/Internet security, sub-cult propaganda, web-world attacks....
Presently internal US, EU... corporatist propaganda falls into two dysfunctional categories (1) Supporting for profit, not patriotism, the largely proprietary military industrial complex (Halliburton, General Dynamics, Boeing...) justifies all cost with perhaps performance surprises, and (2) when in doubt frequently shout it out (Puppet OTUS Bush, Witless Whip Cheney, and Candy Rice).
Maybe the CIA, FBI, corporatist, plutocrats... should hire some G-Qaeda geeks for classes on techno-propaganda and how to fight and win global asymmetric propaganda-war. They already hired some as field/finance agents a few years ago...; HOLDIT, that may of been the KGB with Chechen agents... DAMN, I am never sure any more. Life and world affairs were so much better and simpler with the cold-war and the single threat of global nuclear annihilation...: HOLDIT, I think, that was Mutually Assured Destruction MAD, but now MAD is Moms Against Drunks in the USA and Moms' Adulterous Drunks in Russia... DAMN, I could be wrong again....
Folks you may not know what you want, you may not know what you need, but I can guarantee you, my Anagran-oil will cure what ever ailments y'all got from clogged up Internet pipes to tube-pipes so tight that a family of pencil-dick politicians could not touch all sides with a collective hard-on.
Buy my Anagran-oil for what ails you, and you will never need to fix your infrastructure, invest in broadband contraptions, or do anything that will cost far more than my distinctive hue, fragrant taint, well proven performance Anagran-oil.
Get it now, get it cheep, get it before you go to sleep with any more infrastructure and broadband nightmares.
The above oh21 comment is open content for any corporatist marketeer or politician to use (they can even take credit for the comment). Take it to the board room or chambers to help convince fools of your personal concern in piss-poor USA telecommunications and comical interpretation of QoS broadband/bandwidth.
Those that can DO, read. Those who can read, but not DO, preach. Readers, fakers, and test-takers always manage to fail. Hands-On experience and continuous-learners always work for tale (or is that rep).
To many PGP/PKI/CA/TSL... comments are cross-BS technology application comments. Only in politics does mixed pieces of BS function properly or as expected.
In technology as in science it either does, or it don't do. There is working properly or working poorly (with a problem) until troubleshot and fixed. If it never worked or ain't working at all (cannot be made to function fully and consistently as expected) then someone fycked-up bad (miss-applied technology application) perhaps the brown-nose wannabe manager that can only read made a decision.
RIP=Reclaiming Intellectual Property is not a privacy issue. It is legal-activism by RIAA to capture international thieves of music/movies on HDD.
Until the new scanners/NMRI systems are available at all USA border crossings and airport international terminals, customs will perform (for the RIAA) deep penetrating body cavity searches for any contraband that may be on SSM-devices (memory sticks).
The corporate-government RIAA border campaign slogan: "Give it up and/or get fycked."
!HAVEFUN! guys, I am keeping my ass safe at home in the USA!
Science is best by peer review. Science is best when bias free.
Science can be perfect, but not approved. Science can be appreciated, like fine art.
Science is not greed-decreed by corporations. Science is not politic-funded by governments.
Science is never politically correct. Science is never cleric/faith dogma.
Science always saves humans and humanity. Humanity perverted preserves power/wealth.
IOW: Science and scientists never were and never will be the problem.
Special decree/funded/interpretation/findings by pseudo-scientist plutocrats (corporatist, politicians, revisionist, clergy...) is not science, but pseudo-scientist are and always have been the biggest problems for science, scientist, and humanity.
Anyway, How do we get legal/criminal separation of pseudo-scientist from Science? Should C*Os, politicians, science-degree-revisionist, clergy... be sent to jail a/o fined for causing deaths, environmental damages, endangering the lives and welfare of people and cultures? I mean, fraudulently presenting oneself as an expert and intentionally misleading people to the extent that death/harm results is a crime, ain't it?
A galaxy black hole.... A star black hole.... A CERN black hole....
Gravitational (field) displacement big or small is particular. Levitational (field) displacement small or big has verve, not grave gravity.
We will never see the particular hole, no mater how much we correctly surmise or surprise the dogma-afflicted. By physical law what is that, can never be, as we are aware of dark-levity far more than bright-gravity.

They already hired some as field/finance agents a few years ago ...; HOLDIT, that may of been the KGB with Chechen agents ... DAMN, I am never sure any more. Life and world affairs were so much better and simpler with the cold-war and the single threat of global nuclear annihilation ...: HOLDIT, I think, that was Mutually Assured Destruction MAD, but now MAD is Moms Against Drunks in the USA and Moms' Adulterous Drunks in Russia ... DAMN, I could be wrong again ....
Snake-oil liniment of the pioneers.
Folks you may not know what you want, you may not know what you need, but I can guarantee you, my Anagran-oil will cure what ever ailments y'all got from clogged up Internet pipes to tube-pipes so tight that a family of pencil-dick politicians could not touch all sides with a collective hard-on.
Buy my Anagran-oil for what ails you, and you will never need to fix your infrastructure, invest in broadband contraptions, or do anything that will cost far more than my distinctive hue, fragrant taint, well proven performance Anagran-oil.
Get it now, get it cheep, get it before you go to sleep with any more infrastructure and broadband nightmares.
The above oh21 comment is open content for any corporatist marketeer or politician to use (they can even take credit for the comment). Take it to the board room or chambers to help convince fools of your personal concern in piss-poor USA telecommunications and comical interpretation of QoS broadband/bandwidth.
Applied Security Technology will always meet the expectations of experience.

Those that can DO, read. Those who can read, but not DO, preach.
Readers, fakers, and test-takers always manage to fail.
Hands-On experience and continuous-learners always work for tale (or is that rep).
To many PGP/PKI/CA/TSL... comments are cross-BS technology application comments. Only in politics does mixed pieces of BS function properly or as expected.
In technology as in science it either does, or it don't do. There is working properly or working poorly (with a problem) until troubleshot and fixed. If it never worked or ain't working at all (cannot be made to function fully and consistently as expected) then someone fycked-up bad (miss-applied technology application) perhaps the brown-nose wannabe manager that can only read made a decision.
RIP=Reclaiming Intellectual Property is not a privacy issue. It is legal-activism by RIAA to capture international thieves of music/movies on HDD.
Until the new scanners/NMRI systems are available at all USA border crossings and airport international terminals, customs will perform (for the RIAA) deep penetrating body cavity searches for any contraband that may be on SSM-devices (memory sticks).
The corporate-government RIAA border campaign slogan: "Give it up and/or get fycked."
!HAVEFUN! guys, I am keeping my ass safe at home in the USA!
I no longer recommend NVidia motherboards or video cards in any server/desktop/laptop configurations.
Market share always persuades the most intransigent businesses, but some may wait till bankruptcy looms like IBM in the early 80s.
Science is best by peer review.
Science is best when bias free.
Science can be perfect, but not approved.
Science can be appreciated, like fine art.
Science is not greed-decreed by corporations.
Science is not politic-funded by governments.
Science is never politically correct.
Science is never cleric/faith dogma.
Science always saves humans and humanity.
Humanity perverted preserves power/wealth.
IOW:
Science and scientists never were and never will be the problem.
Special decree/funded/interpretation/findings by pseudo-scientist plutocrats (corporatist, politicians, revisionist, clergy ...) is not science, but pseudo-scientist are and always have been the biggest problems for science, scientist, and humanity.
Anyway, How do we get legal/criminal separation of pseudo-scientist from Science? Should C*Os, politicians, science-degree-revisionist, clergy ... be sent to jail a/o fined for causing deaths, environmental damages, endangering the lives and welfare of people and cultures? I mean, fraudulently presenting oneself as an expert and intentionally misleading people to the extent that death/harm results is a crime, ain't it?
A galaxy black hole .... .... ....
A star black hole
A CERN black hole
Gravitational (field) displacement big or small is particular.
Levitational (field) displacement small or big has verve, not grave gravity.
We will never see the particular hole, no mater how much we correctly surmise or surprise the dogma-afflicted. By physical law what is that, can never be, as we are aware of dark-levity far more than bright-gravity.
How does that song go ....
Let the attack begin ....
