Aren't we spending untold billions of dollars every year chasing Iraqi oil? $30M is a droplet of piss in the sewer. Fund it for real or get the fuck out.
It's long been rumored that Putin has, shall we say, a taste for the younger set. I wonder if perhaps some of the as-yet-unleaked cables corroborate that?
This was modded insightful? Christ. I know how to secure a computer. I know fuck-all about propelling a rocket into space. So some NASA folks may not know how to compute securely; but they're busy landing probes on Mars. Yes, NASA does rock!
Intelligent doesn't equal computer savvy, nor does the opposite always hold true. There are plenty of Ph.Ds in mathematics who don't even use a calculator on a regular basis, much less a computer.
So to sum up your argument, people should be allowed to break the law if they do important work?
If that's good enough to justify half of what government and the police do, I don't see why it shouldn't be good enough to justify what Wikileaks is doing.
I imagine they probably had 5,000 submissions all morning long saying that Ted Stevens perished in the crash, when that wasn't being definitively reported until very recently. I'd rather wait around for the facts for once.
CNN is reporting that the tail number of the plane was N455A (N45A having been assigned elsewhere in 2002). The geek in me got a smile out of that. I'm glad to hear that O'Keefe is apparently alive.
No expensive scanners are needed. You show up at the airport five or six hours before your flight and are subjected to a number of interviews. The interviews are supposed to make you nervous and uncertain. The results are evaluated by people that are watching on video and have lots of experience.
So instead of buying one scanner at a cost of (say) a million dollars, you pay 20 highly-trained experts $50K/year to sit around all day conducting interviews and monitoring video footage? I don't see the benefit.

Funny, I thought it was BAE. ;)
If that were so, then where are the leaks from China, from Germany, from Russia, etc?
Ask the Chinese, the Germans, the Russians, etc. who presumably haven't sent anything too interesting to Wikileaks.
Canada just needs to start up a War on Drugs. Law enforcement is quite a profitable industry in the US.
Power corrupts. Absolute power...
Absolutely do not apologize for your language. Your English is better than many native English speakers'.
WTF: Goatse
So the government buys the first run of the print so no one is out any money
Except for me, the American taxpayer...
I told my management that what they have in their inbox, basically, is a list of people to get the axe when the next round of layoffs comes around.
Damn I wish I had mod points. The sad fact is, I'd be willing to bet some of my own money that everyone on that list makes more than you do.

The iPhone (I assume you don't intentionally refer to an mp3 player)
FYI, the iPod Touch models do just about everything the iPhone does, except take pictures and make phone calls.
Dead or alive!

Well, according to this page she's a foreskin assistant, so I'm guessing that's where the cheese came from.
I've been a POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harrassment) trainer at my employer
The fact that this sort of training exists, and there's a (presumably) recognized acronym for it, means the whole situation has gone entirely too far.

...what?

I for one am going to start wearing shielded undergarments.
