In the first major dump they seemed to be more interested in page count than content; I believe the media outlets were left to do the redactions.
Assange reminds me of the Florida pastor who wants to burn the Quran to make a name for himself. They both care more for themselves than they care about consequences.
given that he 1) didn't cause any damage, 2) wasn't acting out of malice, and 3) was at least accomplish what he did in large part due to the incompetence of those who are, in theory, supposed to be competent in protecting themselves from such attacks.
If I know that the pharmacist down the street often leaves his back window open when he closes, and I verify that it's open, and I tell someone else that it's open, what's my level of guilt if the pharmacy is robbed?
But have you committed felonies as a result of your afflictions? And if you have, don't you think it would be in your own and the world's best interests to deal with that reality?
The VA hospitals and clinics have an open source package called VistA (Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture). Veterans can walk into any facility and have their medical records available.
Hillary Clinton's organization and war chest are the hurdles you must overcome to prove you are qualified to be President. If Obama can do it, great. But he's got no record so this will be his crucible of fire.
"COBOL is hands down the worst language in common usage today" Why? Do you have some facts that support your position?
IMHO, as a business oriented (that's what the B stands for) procedural language COBOL is at the top of the heap. COBOL, coupled with top-down structured coding techniques has produced some of the most bug free and easily maintainable code around. That's why it's still running. Think about it every time you stick your plastic into an ATM.
Maybe your problem is with procedural languages in general. When I look at the OOP extensions to COBOL I cringe. But I felt the same about C++. [flame bait]How in the world did C++ gain favor over Objective-C?[/flame bait]
The HR-XML Consortium http://www.hr-xml.org/ has developed a whole suite of human resources dtd's and schemas. Monster and Dice are using them. My resume is built using the JobPositionSeeker-v1.0.dtd. It contains all the usual segments and includes a skills table which I print as the last page of my printed copy. I created xslt scripts for producing html and text versions. It makes it easy to keep current (but I don't).
This is the reason the President has been voicing "his" interpretation of bills as he signs them. The belief is that the law will be construed to be whatever he understood it to be at the time of signing. He is in effect rwriting the bill as he signs it.
It's true that a literal interpretation of the 9/11 resolution might give the Executive carte blanche in the fight against terrorism. I'm not a lawyer but I've always thought (probably mistakenly) that a judge will look at the intent of the legislators and not just the language. Of course if you bypass the judiciary you don't have to worry about that, do you.
"code contributor who in **good faith** contributed a patch or entire modules" We're forgetting about testers. They play a huge role in OSS development. Not everyone codes. Most admins don't, at least not very well (I'm sorry, it just slipped out). But aren't they the ones submitting the majority of bug reports on Nessus?
I've got a general question about the GPL. How do you revoke it? Even if you own the rights to the project, which I concede that you do, how do you disentangle? Aren't you now selling propietary software that includes OSS? Could someone more knowledgable please explain.
What type of questions are you asking? After 10 years working immersed in a language I don't think most programmers could answer the "theory" questions many interviewers are asking. They've gotten too far from theory. They're advanced enough to do most things automagically. When they need some esoteric algorithm they know enough to look it up or google it. That's what you're paying for.
It reminds me of a friend who, after programming for 12 years, decided he would go back to school and get an IT degree. He decided to test out of one of the intro courses. Of course he failed! The test was too basic for his knowledge level.
"I don't think you understand how much the world rises and falls with the US"..
I think his post (and his overall attitude) is due to the fact that he does understand. He's frightened and feeling impotent so he lashes out. It would be better for him to accept and deal with his own region's problems but...
With that elitist perspective you would never get an IT job at Walmart. Why should you care? Because WalMart is the state of the art in Mass Retail Systems. Most knowledgable IT professionals recognize this and would bend over backwards to work on some of those systems; myself included.
As far as finding people at the community college level that have founded successful companies I'd reccomend you read the CVs of some of the adjunct professors. You'd be amazed at the number of heavy hitters that are willing to pass the baton.
BTW. I was a theater major; have no degree; and have taught masters classes. My income is a private matter, but I get by quite nicely thank you.
Here's some prior art: In 1970, Longines Symphonette Society maintained databases of customer purchases and used the data for targeted marketing (junk mail). The data was recorded on 44 reels of magnetic tape and updated nightly. Processing was on a Honeywell 4200 with 256k running the Mod4 Operating System.

Has anyone tried a laptop cooling pad? I've seen a few for under $20 US.

And the spiel hasn't changed in one hundred years!
If you only need 30% of the electorate to be nominated why not put your morals in the closet for a few years?

Don't cloud the issue with facts.

Or cherry picked?

And we already paid for it!

Reader's Digest had similar systems.
