Nobody is forcing you to accept a security clearance.
Part of the process is voluntarily signing a really strong non-disclosure agreement which is again a contract to not talk about certain things.
It's all purely voluntary. If you think that you are going to want to talk about these things, don't sign the agreement. Nobody is forcing you to do any such thing.
The information is in the open so it's not classified.
That statement is a non-sequitur. Classification is label placed on information by the government which triggers certain rules regarding handling that information which by law must be observed by government employees. It is not necessarily correlated with the availability of the information.
Or even more to the point, if you can't afford the services of the robot, who is going to be able to build more robots?
No seriously the real threat to these $400/hr jobs is outsourcing. People are and will continue to be a lot cheaper to make than fancy pants robots for a long time. With modern communications linking the world people are fungible, so the $400/hr jobs are going to become $10/hr jobs.
The ignorance displayed in your post is stunning. Harmful UV rays harm a lot more than just human beings. It impacts plant life and other animals as well, and in a very negative way.
Yes, but the courts have already ruled that you don't have an expectation of privacy on the employer's premise except say when you are using a toilet, or while using it's IT systems.
These days most employers have some boilerplate they hand out when you take a job that says they will do this if they feel it necessary. Really you should assume they monitoring you while you are on the job, if for no reason than protect themselves from things like that $2 billion loss UBS is stuck with.
I think this GPS tracking goes well beyond employer rights - monitoring outside the workplace is really a bit much, and I bet the courts will find this to be the case too.
Poppycock. In addition to the First Amendment which prohibits establishment of a state religion, there is Article VI:
"no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
Clearly the Founders intended a very bright line to separate church and state.
Jefferson wrote in his law guaranteeing religious freedom in Virginia:
Be it enacted by General Assembly that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of Religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities. And though we well know that this Assembly elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of Legislation only, have no power to restrain the acts of succeeding Assemblies constituted with powers equal to our own, and that therefore to declare this act irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and do declare that the rights hereby asserted, are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right"
So it is a NATURAL RIGHT to be free to make one's choice and opinion regarding religion, FREE of government influence, and government office should never be subject to requirements of religious tests. Nor should any support for religion be mandated by taxation.
CFL power factor depends on the quality of the ballast. Right now the issue is unimportant because the impact of CFL on the overall residential power factor is negligible. However as (if) CFL adoption starts to impact this expect Energy Star to start including power factor in their assessments.
Crikey this is exactly the opposite of how it should work. I don't give a rats ass what tech they use, and in fact specifying a tech makes your data less secure because once that is cracked somebody will put together a kit i.e. US Data Security Law CR14-23 Canopener.
What is needed is very simple. Corporate Officers must sign a document "we didn't have any leaks last year". If they don't sign or it turns out to be a lie, 5 years in Federal Prison + reimbursement of damages paid out by court assigned special master.
FAX machine has no reason to live. In fact the last several times I tried to use a FAX it wouldn't work at all because it was on a VOIP line.
If you need a physical document with a signature, send the pdf by email, sign it a couple of copies, scan the last page and email send it back, follow with a wet ink signed copy in the mail.
This method is universally accepted, fast and requires no use of a EVIL Fax machine.

And the fact that you are making that statement is a proof that you are a complete idiot.
Secret and classified are two different things.

How could it do a worse job? I mean just unplug it and you have the best CEO HP has had for years.

Nonsense. The Left has been complaining about roads being built for decades.
Or being able to drive to the store when you need it.
If the US had a decent health care system this would NOT be an issue.

The opinion is more than that of a few, to the extent that Google has already developed a replacement.
Elimination is how progress occurs. Otherwise we would still be using curses to browse the web.

Outside of work, that's a different story.
Just refit the boiler with a matter-antimatter core and you are good to go.
These are not goodies. These are nightmares. We hates it.
The design flaws are terminal. It deserves to be replaced with something that is statically typed.
If you want to keep it around for a few years as a legacy thing, fine. But it really is the VB5 of the 21st century.
We want something else.*

Steam powered means it will run on anything that can generate steam including matter-antimatter reactions.
Crikey the Krell have been doing this for millenia, You guys need to get out more.

The frikken Romans used variable density concrete aka opus caementicium in their structures.
The Pantheon is full of this technique.
This is not new.
It's a big woop from Sony's point of view.
Don't buy rack mounted dual socket systems if you have this sort of budget. They are too expensive.
