Back on topic, though, it's quite obvious that we need to turn the various candidates on to the idea that people should retain total control of their credit.
However, if they drink too deeply of this 'freedom' kool-aid, they may want to opt out of some of the other Social programs intended for their Security.
Big Brother needs to take a very careful look at all of this talk of independence.
You can spin it, you can nuance it, you can split the hairs until you match my baldness.
There is a principle behind organizational behavior, such that the further up the government/military organization chart you are, the more accountable you are for personal behavior.
If you're the flag officer, you simply do not even imply that you'd like to have your car washed in front of a subordinate, because if they go ahead and wash the car to curry favor, you've just abused your authority.
The fact that Clinton's behavior was a disgrace to Christianity, marriage, and manhood is of little interest.
The fact that Clinton's subordinates in the military were held to a higher standard than him, and paid higher consequences for lesser infractions, is inexcusable. To a man able to say "It depends upon what your definition of 'is' is", this line of argumentation probably sounds like something out of C.S. Forester. Keep in mind that the US is not entirely populated by moral relativists, though.
Berger's an arrogant bastard but I'll stamp out lies from Either side of this pollitical shit-fest.
And I'll not waste too much breath defending MM.
Or the media.
Or either conference of the American Political Football League.
However, Berger's behavior seems mighty, mighty fishy to me. The fact that they're not going over his ass with a fine-tooth comb and a magnet is every bit as suspicious as anything with Libby and Plame.

F/OSS, itself, is the ultimate anti-virus.

b) having a plethora of distributions similar enough that skills transfer, but sufficiently different that many kinds of attackes are harder,

are three reasons you hear far less about virus attacks in the non-proprietary world.
Someone will supply the counter-argument that lack of market penetration == lack of virus penetration, and I will yawn and enjoy a relatively un-penetrated life.
That you are honestly comparing Sandy Berger to the intentional outing of undercover CIA agents suggests that not only do you give a rat's ass about national security, but that you fail logic at every level.
Sandy Berger's little escapades so thoroughly dwarf the Libby business as to make your remark absurd.

While Berger and Libby are both examples of 'taking one for the team', the Plame farce is a joke throughout, whereas Berger smacks more of the tip of an iceberg. National security threat, indeed.
Jem Matzan falls short of pleased: GPLv3 license marks GNU's decline
I say let's check back in a year and see how the adoption rate compares with Washington, DC traffic.
What if my hovercraft was full of eels battling sharks with lasers?
I was in a technical school back in the days of overhead projectors with slides.
The topic was electrical circuits and stuff. It was a military school. Prof says "I will now answer all 'what if' questions in advance".
He then put a a flip the bird graphic.
Which leads to the question: are professional athletics a form of institutional addiction?
Could any repeated behavior be termed an addiction?
I eagerly await George Bush's claim of addiction to giving lousy speeches, for example.
OK, I'm the older brother by 3.5 years, have a Master's degree, etc., whereas my brother has a high school diploma and rides in on a Harley.
I wonder, though, if there isn't a broader organizational behavior principle at work here.
Keep an eye on the phrase
the senior boy in a family (either by being firstborn, or if an elder brother died)
How often at work is there a tautology, whereby the senior headz are the only ones equipped to perform certain tasks/make decisions, simply by virtue of longevity. Once they retire, get flattened by a bus, or move on to a position at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, then the next person in line steps up.
Thus, I dispute the title "Firstborn Get the Brains", and offer instead that, in families as in other organizations, we do a sub-optimal job of affording the juniors the opportunity to negotiate the learning curve.
"Firstborn Get the Brains" somehow implies that the womb retains some state in between children, and knows to shortchange the later arrivals.
My younger brother and sister have also floated some really irritating cop-outs based on this birth order talk. Raises my hackles. I had been going to troll this article using Exodus 13:12
That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
calling it subliminal Christian propaganda, but then I thought the better of it.;)
There is the court of law, and the "court of public opinion". One data point, and you can argue the significance, is the number of reputable kernel hackers who've dropped Novell like a cheating sweetheart.
For all the sound and fury about GPLv3, I submit that it's really all good. Some strong ideas were expressed by the FSF, feedback came, and the wording was polished such that the final product may prove acceptable over time.
A gold star, a group hug, and a round of Koom Ba Ya for all my friends.

Why quibble? It's these "fake but accurate" arguments that are reducing public discourse to drivel.
Straws? We dreamed of straws. In my day, we were confined to a bit of string. Worse, we had to push it. Try telling that to one of You Tubes today...

Yeah, it's pretty much Establishment and Libertarian these days, with the former holding all the power.

Pain is good. Extreme pain is extremely good.

Just another step in the direction of Idiocracy.
