But there is a limit to how 'fair' you can get, and making billions of dollars in profits while others are suffering and dying is going way past that point.
Agreed. When pieces of paper and slugs of metal become more important than people it's a sad, sad day. Nice to see people in developed nations taking an interest in helping those who need help without trying to take them to the cleaners.
I'm curious as to what people have been using as for doing things like documenting how their backups work, LAN settings, FW settings, where and what runs what services, and so forth. How do you blueprint your entire IT infrastructure so that someone brand new could start and figure out what does what?
I could tell you, but then I'd have to send you to Abu Gharib.
I see various religions as different paths to the same Truth. It seems to me that God/Yaweh/Allah/Buddha/etc would have realized that religion is not a "one size fits all" proposition. Different religions speak to different people.
or does anyone else think that this would make stealing your identity a snap? Just think of all the things you get in the mail that have sensitive information: Correspondance with the IRS Your debit/credit cards PIN numbers come by mail Health records X-rays Test results (both school and health related) Bills with your account numbers and buying habits
I know what day it is (Tuesday November 21, 2006; my mother's 62nd birthday) I know what the temperature is: 61 degrees Fahrenheit (Thank you NOAA) I know what my neighbor looks like and I need to wash THAT mental image out of my head!
Why not ask questions of the people at NASA? They have been designing, building, and testing rockets for decades. Most arm-chair rocket scientists have no practical experience in doing things on the scale NASA does. Asking questions instead of making claims that NASA has screwed up would help us learn more about what NASA is doing and, perhaps, help them look at what they are doing from a different view-point.
Sounds like we need to be open-source in our approach to communicating with NASA - ask questions, offer ideas, create a solution that all may benefit from rather than firing the cannons of FUD.

Who would have thought after 100+ years, the only thing a house from 1890 and 2006 would have in common is a lightbulb?
Actually, houses of yesteryear and today also other things in common: doors, floors, walls, roofs, attics, windows, closets, bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms...
The suit was against IBM, Red Hat and Novell, arguing that by distributing Linux for free, they offered products at an unbeatably low price (free), thus discouraging new market entrants and stifling competition.
Wrong, free is not unbeatable; they just need to pay the end user top use their software!
Reasons that the Shuttle computers aren't built with standard parts and operating systems: 1. ALL computer components must be hardened against radiation, thermal shock, vibration, g-loads. 2. Storage system for shuttle computer is a special tape drive, not a hard disk. 3. Each computer is hand-built from the component-level up; it isn't a generic PC. 4. Memory in the computer used to be iron-core memory; they finally moved to solid-state memory in the 1990s. 5. Performance-wise, the shuttle computers are about equivelent to a Pentium CPU with a early DLT tape drive. 6. The software that runs on these goes through several stages of testing before being accepted for flight.
You are right about this not being complicated. The dirty tactics politicians (I'm including ALL politicians)use to bash the other parties is simply reprehensible. Anytime any party plays dirty and tries to undermine the democratic principles we are supposed to have, it's time for a change of leadership.

There's nothing to see here, people.
but this story left me feeling kind of neutral about the whole thing.

Yes, but could you carry it in your pocket?

You say that now, but I'm sure you'll sing a different tune if you go blind or deaf.
