Do we want keep being attacked for ever? Yes, a lot of civilians would die. They already are on both sides. If you eliminate the problem complete, it won't come back. We just need to grow some balls and do it.
do you realize that the number and virulence of armed groups has been increasing steadily since 2002? there is no way you could possibly 'win' this 'war' throwing more fire at the fire. even the military know that. and there is no way homeland security can actually protect its citizens. that's utter nonsense.
so citizen everywhere will be paying the price for someone's war and power games. my guess is that this has already been accounted for, and your little patriotic civilian life is equally expendable and on the line as any other. good luck with your crusade.
In my point of view, drone strikes are serious crimes just like terrorist attacks but the two things should be kept apart and not one can justify the other.
moot point since the other part hasn't the tech to respond with drones. bottom line is: you screw with people, they will respond with whatever they can respond with.
it's now a plague very difficult to deal with, but 'we' created it in the first place. that's not justification, it's just understanding cause and effect and why things happen. maybe there's other solutions besides sending in drones, and maybe we could learn from the past to not make the future even worse. sadly, i doubt it.
Alas, here in the UK a lie on your CV/resume once found out, can result in a criminal conviction for fraud.
a cv is pure marketing, everyone knows that. if company pr isn't held to the same standard then that's nonsense, i wonder if there was a single one you couldn't sue to oblivion after just the first week on the job.
To find out whether the intrusion detection and logging mechanisms are doing their job well. If I can get in and out without the IDs and logs showing it, we have a problem. The primary problem is of course that I got in, but at least as big a problem is if this goes undetected!
Or he felt too secure sitting in a country half a planet away.

Like my boss once said, having a police record is no recommendation in this biz. Yes, it means that you did something. But it also means that you were either too sloppy, to crappy or too arrogant to cover your tracks well.
why is covering your tracks a desirable skill for your job?
small correction, make that 1199.999.999. i was baptized and registered as catholic w/o consent or anybody ever asking me. didn't even bother to opt out...
Lawyers and lawmakers disagree with you and since they have money and power and you obviously do not, I'd say you're wrong and your opinion irrelevant.
i'd say he is right and his opinion is irrelevant (vs the global brainwash promoted by the intellectual property mafia)
not after having been made aware of their coordinates and location several times. Someone ordered this strike, believing there were "terrorists" treated at that facility, knowing very well it was a hospital and what the result would be, and giving no damn about it because they can get away with it. This is worse than all the other killings commited by U.S forces abroad, and people and governments must take a stand, or killings and murders like these will just continue.
unless there's concrete evidence there is no point in attributing to malice what can be explained by mere incompetence. once you unleash the dogs this shit is bound to happen. and unleashed they are, for decades now.
us strikes killing innocents is nothing new, it's routine. the news flash here is that it's western innocents.
And by everywhere you mean "on computers running Microsoft Windows."
ok, 'almost' everywhere.
it's surprises me that apple, the pinnacle of supercool software (tm), lacks it's own office productivity toolset and needs to resort to ms office, it doesn't surprise me that much that it doesn't work but what's quite hilarious is that the proposed (in this tread) alternative is libreoffice. as roy zimmerman put it: 'sometimes satire writes itself'.

If you actually think that, then I really hope that you never design a UI that normal people have to use.
why so harsh? he probably picked that up in some 'enterprise architecture 2.0' manual while looking for concepts for some flashy presentation, and it worked there, and nobody ever told him it was utter bs.
Did you even bother to read the rest of the summary? This actually causes real potential issues if someone stores copyrighted information in a URL-shortener's database. Because in that case, it ISN'T just a link to information - it is the information itself.
no, copyright is causing issues.
So, yes, this sort of thing can potentially open ISPs and hosting companies up to all sorts of unexpected liability. If upheld that way, when the courts get involved, it could, in fact, break the internet.
this very same technique has been used for ages in several tools to store and propagate user data.
if abused it could break url shortener services for a short while (*), which aren't essential at all. i actually never liked them, i want to know where i'm clicking to.
(*) i guess i would take any service just minutes to impose size limits.
back in the day you got your software from the same vendor, possibly even the hardware. when something went wrong, be it some service stopping, some communication link dropping or some tape getting stuck, the vendor took responsibility, and you paid just one or a couple of hefty bills.
then came the revolution of decentralization. it was supposed to be cheaper and more efficient. since then when something went wrong chances were you wouldn't even know who to call from a constellation of providers of apps, middleware, drivers, services, components and whatnot, each of which dependent on it's own chain of providers, so you could have to live with the problem for a looooong time before it was even known who's problem it was, all this in exchange of a hefty collection of smaller bills which totals considerably more.
turns out it wasn't more efficient and cheap at all, just more convenient and profitable for the industry.
now it's about going totally cloud-nuts? yeah, what could possibly go wrong...
So, prediction fixes air pollution how exactly? it's not like factories are going to shut down for any reason.
not fix, fight. i guess the strategy is to sell useless expensive data analysis to china until they are broke and have to shut down the factories. voilà.

Reading the text you quote, it seems 'no root' is the problem here.
actually 'no root' is a solution:-) no adequate IT support would the problem there!:)
anyway, i'm not at all comfortable with having public servant's communication dependent on skype. granted, i can't quite wrap my head around the idea of using proprietary software for any public matter, it simply fails to comply with the most basic accountability requirements. money should go into developing open source communication software and providing open infrastructure instead of paying licenses to corporations for uncontrollable software.

no text processing? no skype? wtf? LiMux must be the worst distro ever.
There don't seem to be very many good free alternatives other than microsoft's default package.
at risk of stating the obvious... er... linux?:)
I've wondered if it's possible for me to make my own security system, but I've never given it a good amount of thought.
it's possible. it's also hard. start giving it some good amount of thought and stop making yourself a target by using the 'default package'. it will be easier from there...
In either case the takedown notices are invalid and abuse of process.
in either case columbia will get away with it and anyone affected will have to struggle to get their content back online. the price of being (irrelevant) part of the media crap fest, i guess.
Depends what you're trying to do. It works for the developer of Eve, CCP Games. It works for the players who have fun and get goods when and where they need them.
sort of a pun. free markets don't actually exist, it's a fallacy. all markets are controlled in subtle (and not so subtle) ways.
because of that there's no real balance, inequality inevitably grows and they need a periodical correction or even 'reset' which is usualy a rather violent event. in that sense i say "they don't work", and the "invisible hand" idea is just delusion.
I'm not sure how you can claim that the notion of the invisible hand doesn't work in games when there's a particularly good example of it working well. I can't think of any game I've played that as an entirely AI-driven economy that's come anywhere close to creating the same kind of experience you can get from EVE.
eve's economy is not completely player driven. basic resources are always available and affordable regardless of player actions, thus speculative behaviour has no effect at all on the system, which is closely monitored and corrections introduced as necessary, even automatically. as a simulation it's not even a valid metaphor, just a spinning wheel with players jumping on an off. every time a player quits billions of isk just vanish, but the wheel just keeps spinning. probably just a handfull players were there from the start and all their actions become even more irrelevant. prices of some items go up and down. so what? that's not a model for an economy, it's more like an animated aquarium. not that i don't like it, i do play eve, but it's just a game.

agreed, 'scandalon' means a stumbling block, that's no reason to use it to refer to human moral misery.

In fact, I wager you don't have any actual experience with a market since otherwise you wouldn't make such a dumb claim.
