"spy agency uses blogs to let agents and other workers share information and ideas"
Lets. Nice. A few years back CIA suspended a collection of workers for the summer accusing them of running a collaborative network in house without approval. Now that blogging is cool, they're allowing what amounts to the same thing?
It was being done anyway, and clearly the allowed channel is risky if you can get fired for writing the wrong things. I bet money the back-channel is up again.
Close. If you look at the money Mr. Gates has taken in with Microsoft and compare this to an equivalent amount of money distributed across other companies, you will find that he's not as giving as everyone claims.
You'd think; however, the doctor needs tools to close you back up. If one of these tools is lost during the process and after the check, we're back to the same problem.
So what I gather from your comment is that if these people are looking to determine if telepathy exists and quantum mechanics plays a part, they should be testing mothers and their offspring.
I'll follow your comment up with one about excess cells from a womans baby being left inside her body after giving birth. Perhaps that's the opportunity for a preliminary "key exchange" of entangled matter which would permit a woman to communicate with her offspring.
So I would propose two hypothesis. The first, a woman and her child may be capable of telepathy, although a grandmother and grandchild are not, nor are any other relationships. The second, a woman is capable of "monitoring" her child from a distance, but the woman has no communication channel back to the child. So she may know if something is wrong in a distant offsprings life, but not vice versa.
I'm quite the skeptic but I would deny one of these possibilities and rumors of "mother's intuition". A physical explanation of this would be the discovery of a lifetime.
Looks like everyone is reversed. This from a woman who's first blog entry ends with
"Josey is my sexy husband. He's going to open a gamer cafe this summer and it's going to be sooo cool. But now he has to talk to me because he's so cute. "
Try not to generalize when talking about all the other idiots in the world, okay?
This is exactly the type of information broadcasting was intended for now we're going to try to distribute it on systems that are intended to reach single devices? WTF?!
They would be better off requiring all computers and phones to have a built in emergency broadcast radio receiver permanently fixed on the channel and on at all times. At least then they won't bog down general bandwidth.
They put this story out that what you do that ends up online or in social networks will harm you. That's fear. Be afraid, keep you head down or you'll lose your prospects in a job - that's the message.
Publications from Associations such as these are used to influence groups. They are in turn managed by groups of leaders who in turn are also influenced by other "uber" leaders. This latter group includes people who are finding it difficult to control public opinion with the co-mingling that occurs on the Internet. By showing social network sites in an unfavorable light, they how to persuade public opinion to shun them.
No. No they are not. The person protecting you from "terrorist" or anyone else trying to hurt you is yourself. Not cops, not the government, and often times your parents can end up the worst of your enemies (despite good intentions).
Rely on yourself for survival - rely on others to grow.
This will be undone within five years. Russell Athletic tried to do this once with several of their athletic wear lines - some poorly concocted middle management scheme. Unfortunately they forgot that when you sole source your goods you loose this nifty thing called competition! On top of that they used a broker and instead of negotiating the price, they told the broker the budget!
In this case, Microsoft is the broker and the actual components are more than likely sourced by Microsoft someplace else. Same scenario, no cost saving whatsoever.
In Russells case, this cause a single point of failure, the broker failed to monitor the conditions of the manufacturing plants (read: opened up the risk of using sweatshop labor) and the shipments were delayed despite promises that they would be delivered. The project was yanked from the guy but not before the season was squandered.
Never sole source unless there truly is only one source. Heck, helping to fund a newcomer to the market will help you negotiate in the future with what might have been considered the sole supplier.
Which is why everyone here must recognize that this was not an accident, but a suicide! The guy weighed the gold in his pile and figured he'd rather give it to his family than the suckers he stole it from. Sociopath to the last breath.
That's just it. Atheists don't make a connection between gods and charity, so yes, these are atheist charities in the sense that they are the ones atheists give to. Although I despise United Way as nothing more than another church by the way companies and football players push it - their overhead is ridiculous. Oxfam gets my money.
The mistake you're making is that you think you have to advertise your charitible giving. That's almost entirely a religious evangelistic behavior, stuffing propoganda in the thanksgiving dinner boxes when giving them out.
Don't be ridiculous. You worked on a weapon. You can't use it to make cheese, it doesn't wash dishes, and I don't want to cover myself up with it at night to keep warm. It's a weapon. Linux is used for various things.
It's not that our moral compass is ideal - it's that yours is so screwed up.
Case in point - if you worked on inventing guns, at least those have been used at some point to feed people off buffalo meat in the past. You worked on a LAND MINE.
Yes, but it also means that you still have money that people who paid the Church DON'T have.
But they belong to the church. If the church has a youth group center with a flat panel TV and I send my kids there to hang out, I just wrote off my day-care. See my point? The people belong to the church! They directly benefit from the money they gave it.
In all of these posts, I do not see a single one considering the horrific plight of the average (and I mean that literally) American Congress-critter. Let's take Diana DeGette for example. She has previously attempted to legislate that ISPs retain logs of their customers' IPs and who they connected to. Now she wants content providers to do the same - log IPs of people connecting to them.
Clearly everyone is overlooking the obvious. Diana DeGette has Missing Brain Syndrome (MBS). In fact, if you look at the voting records of all American Congress Critters, they are all suffering from MBS. Unfortunately, the only know treatment of MBS is interacting with people who do, in fact, have brains. This is stifled by grouping MBS victims in the National United MBS (NUMBS) center and then staffing the center with Intellectually Marginally Passing Service (IMPS) personnel. Take this with the tendency of other MBS patients (CEOs, CFOs, and Lawyers) of excessive interaction with this collection of MBS victims, we have a serious problem on our hands.
Right now, our only hope for aiding these poor afflicted souls is to expose them to thoughts derived from people who do not have MBS syndrome. This includes YOU, my friend. You need to write an MBS victim now and tell them, "You're stupid and I care".
Point out to Diana DeGette the redundancy of her ways. Help her understand that she doesn't have to tie each shoe twice every morning. Help all of these people acquire a functioning brain again.
Nah, this one's off too. Having turned up heads 99 times in a row, the probability of getting 100 is 50%. I.e., the last 99 throws don't affect the probability of the next throw. That's th gp's point.
Nah, the second plane doesn't know anything about the first plane, so it's chances of crashing are the same.
The only thing which would make them difference is the first crash affecting the system that governs the probabilities on all crashes, which is does. For it not to would be equivalent to an airline having no response to one of its planes crashing - no schedule change, no maintenance reviews, no nothing. Probabilities doesn't play a role in this change in chance.

Oh no, the best thing they could do is let him keep the job. He's the least likely person in the US to do this again. It would be different if he stole it himself.

Not only that, I hear they cut the cheese there like nowhere else in the world. Sharp as a SCAT-CAFE.

which charities is it that you think people who don't believe in gods give to? The Salvation Army?
Which is why everyone here must recognize that this was not an accident, but a suicide! The guy weighed the gold in his pile and figured he'd rather give it to his family than the suckers he stole it from. Sociopath to the last breath.
