    As a contractor working for the federal government? Its the kind of work I expect. You typically don't get good stuff until the original contractor isn't allowed to bid on the recompete and it gets handed off to another contractor. And yet that original contractor keeps getting new projects approved.

    wikileaks has been around for years. They were pretty roundly ignored up until they allegedly got the windfall from Manning.

    Also joining the military is a lot like playing Halo or Crysis from what I've been seeing recently. Looks pretty bitchin'.

    There is a glitch where some of the time, you don't respawn. And even when you do, you have to grind in the hospital level and sometimes loose abilities.

    I still get this with bluetooth headsets. See someone walking alone down the street arguing with them self for a few minutes. That little blue LED really needs to stay on during use instead of blink so we can more quickly identify the real schizophrenics.

  13. Re:Another 25% are still lyiing on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 1

    Thats ok. In one of my advanced math classes we only had a mid term and a final. Both were take home tests. It was pure lecture. There were no assignments. The mid term started the week after the last drop date for the class. The midterm had a quarter of its questions on material to be covered later in the class. The final had a quarter of its questions on material to be covered the next semester.

    I am pretty sure that professor was there only for the research and he probably never had a student take more than one of his classes.

    Not the case any more. a $100 graphics card will get you a Radeon 4850 or Radeon 5750. That is enough to play just about anything at default settings. Bump it up to the $150 to $200 range and you can play anything with higher settings.

    Laws were drafted, no idea if they passed.

    Basic scenario is that the American christian preacher came to Uganda, preached hate and death.
    Then a tabloid published a list of names and addresses of gays.
    Many of them were killed.
    Laws were drafted with the death penalty for gays.
    ?
    That should be enough info for you to google it yourself.

    IIRC couple months ago, an american christian preacher went to Uganda and preached about the righteousness of killing homosexuals, dozens have been hanged and stoned and laws have been drafted with the death penalty for homosexuality in response.

    Agreed. The obvious answer is that there is some massive resistance from within the government bureaucracy that is making it a difficult task. Or he learned something after taking office and getting "commander-in-chief" security clearance that changed his mind. I'm inclined to think that it's just the former.

    Option 3: He was always a devious snake and never intended to live up to his campaign promises, just like every other politician.

    Your view of the left is completely inaccurate. I am on the "left" and I am a hardcore American Patriot. I believe that we are the greatest nation on earth, but that we have fallen a long way and have been overcome by corruption. We don't need to be knocked down a peg, we need to stand up and set the bar for a higher ethical standard. Exposing and undermining the dishonesty and secrecy of the corruption in the US is the first step in purging that corruption and restoring the honor and respect of our great nation.

    The approval process for open source projects takes time. Months, often years. If a open source product is asked for enough, it will be inspected and approved eventually if no major concerns are found.
