Actually this is the best thing that could have happened. A complete failure in a system, potential for identity theft, and involving current/past service men/women. I am one of those by the way.
Why is this the best thing? Cause when troops are involved national pride actually works and things get done. People will flip out over this and they will finally fix it. Think of the children is first followed quickly by think of the troops. Now maybe they'll put the responsibility where it belongs. Squarely on the shoulders of those companies that deal with credit. Then I'll stop getting those calls for the new service that protects my credit and it only costs $14.95 a month. Make that free and actually go after these thieves instead of what they do now.
"It's clear to us that [quitting] would be the only thing to prevent a full-scale cyber-war that we just don't have the authority to start," Reshef said. "Our users never signed up for this kind of thing."
You started the fight and you expected them to buckle but you forgot one thing. They don't care if what they do is illegal. You do.
They will keep sending their junk and if you think they will ever stop you are naive. You can't stop them from doing it. You have to accept that first and then come up with a method that will just make it harder for them to get their junk out.
Well who's this federal source? I trust the media as much as I trust the government. To say "in-person interview" means nothing. We need names and people not hiding in dark alleys to come forward.
Sure you could argue what they (the government) are doing with this (if they are) is illegal but the leaks to start with were illegal. Regardless of how you feel about what was leaked.
That call database should be gathered. It should be maintained by a seperate entity where queries to the database are approved by a panel of judges with the sole purpose of fighting terrorism. That ends the problem.
China has laws. They will enforce those laws in their own country. If a company does business there they expect that company to follow the regulations / laws.
So what happens when the government requests information? It is given. Here we can appeal there I would imagine you can't. You could resist but you'd get in trouble and probably hauled off to jail.
Hmm what would you do as a manager in China at Yahoo? Risk your life or give up the information? Sure Yahoo could just kicked out of China but I'd bet they'd make an example out of someone their too.
It's easy to improve the game for existing players. All those who were pissed off left already and won't come back unless the impossible is done. A roll back.
You can't blame the professor for this. It's not like he or she knows how the real world works. After all anyone with any sense well almost any would say this is a bad idea. The Univeristy had sense enough to say no to their own network being scanned then again they're dumb enough to allow it continue.
So at least the student will have a co-defendant if things go bad.
Before taking the word of this article look at the definition of tree rings.
-- Tree rings - Growth rings formed annually in a tree's trunk, which often reflect the conditions in which the tree grew. Thicker rings are indicative of a good growing season with ideal temperatures and sufficient rain. See Dendrochronology.
Dendrochronology - A type of absolute dating. The technique is based on the fact that trees add a ring of growth annually, and counting the rings gives the age of the tree. The rings vary in size depending on the conditions affecting trees in an area, so trees from the same region will have similar patterns of growth and can be matched with one other. When a tree ring pattern is recognized in timber, the age of that timber can be calculated and thus the approximate age of the feature or structure to which it belongs can be determined. This method was first widely used in the American Southwest. ---
So...
Factors beyond warmth like rain fall effect the tree as well to grow better or worse.
The firms have said they will attend that process.
That's good as debate may help. Remember though it's not a company that can restrict speech it's government that does.
Not that I am supporting those companies decisions. They are just doing what the US government does. I think those who go before this panel they should ask questions themselves about policies that help countries like China.
53% are supporting it. The submitter decided to not quote the article (on that part) cause it didn't work with his/her agenda and didn't cause confusion.
The poll found that 53 percent of Americans approved of Mr. Bush's authorizing eavesdropping without prior court approval "in order to reduce the threat of terrorism"; 46 percent disapproved. When the question was asked stripped of any mention of terrorism, 46 percent of those respondents approved, and 50 percent said they disapproved.
Take terrorism out and the numbers shift. I wonder why? Does that mean americans care about fightining terrorists?
Also just because someone says "it's against the law" doesn't make it against the law. Right now as the President has said it is within the law - they research these things. Of course it is up to the courts to decide if it is or isn't. So wait for the hearing.
If it is declared legal watch this story quickly be forgotten...

Oh never mind that wouldn't create another top level domain someone could make money on.

Great point. It's demographics they've just pretty much ignored for a long time.

Oh please it's not the same. For one they don't really care about intellectual property rights over there. They do care if someone mentions this.
The point is they make one with every release and keep it updated - along with dates of when they changed things. Check out 5.* errata list.
Tabula Rasa sounds interesting. I always considered CoH as a FPS of sorts. It was fun to log in and just play.
They know more about the technology they are buying because they only, for the most part, buy Mac products.

AT&T argues that its model is cheaper, faster to deploy, and just as capable as Verizon's
AT&T should be told then fine and we'd like those tax breaks back that were givin for this very thing.

We will all learn the answer one day. On that die when you die.
Then at least that answer will solved and everyone can get along at least on that point. Either in the afterlife or oblivion.
Futurama is different though. The viewers didn't leave. The network did.
Honestly what are you going to do differently today because you learned an asteriod might hit the Earth in 2102?

Scientists do not know why sharks are absent from the deep, but suggest one possible reason might be a lack of food
Unlike people they move to where the food is?
Sharks also have a high demand for oxygen too. How much oxygen is available in the water at those depths?

Disney got it wether they wanted it or not or even know it.

Thanks! So it looks like they have a patent on making it easier to send an emoticon - far from actually patenting them...
It passionately claims that "Google has steadfastly refused to make any change that does not offer a benefit to the users who come to the site."
How about this as a benefit. The person in China using Google doesn't wind up in jail or worse a bill to his family from the state for the bullet.
This is beyond the obvious of China not letting Google do business there.
