France and Germany were both bitterly opposed to the invasion of Iraq and said so numerous times as members of the UN. Rumsfeld dismissed them as "old Europe".
While China seems to be the boogeyman du jour for America, people should keep in mind that the Euro is competing very successfully against the greenback.
As a tech community, we are always reading articles about Google, computer security, etc. It's surprising to see one of our hot button topics being picked up by the mainstream and becoming an international diplomatic flap. I'm stunned that Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, has waded into the discussion.
People do have an expectation of privacy that is at odds with what has been happening on the Internet. *Specifically* social networking sites like Facebook where there are real names attached to accounts and visible out in the open.
What's the longest-lived "slaved to a server" DRM scheme? Has any such scheme been working for ten years?
Starcraft's Battle.net connectivity. Was released March 1998 so nearly 11 years old. It is legally confirmed DRM because Blizzard successfully used the DMCA to shut down bnetd.
As opposed to interchangeability and lack of individuality?
Why on earth should your help desk boys be forced to wear uniforms by policy when the rest of the office get to dress like professionals? From my viewpoint, the whole question just oozes social stratification.
The author poignantly concludes that while it's great to have so much power at our fingertips it does mean that some of us will rely on mobile phones for even basic mental tasks, which is great until the battery runs out.
Poignant? People tried to say the same thing about calculators in the 50s. Tools augment human capability, they can be a crutch but we're a little far from walking in the jungle throwing spears, aren't we?
I've noticed this option doesn't cross the minds of some IT guys, but how about letting the users do what they want?
If they want to look at an awful non-native resolution on their LCD, why don't you shed your single tear about the waste of technology and let them go about their business? Does it actually affect you in the slightest?
Of course, the Russians have to take a lot of responsibility for that
Please be careful not to blame the Russian people for the failures of their leadership. Especially post-WWII it was clear Stalin was off his rockers, but we should always be grateful for how much blood the Russians shed fighting our common enemy (far, FAR more than we did).
You have to go legit. There are small things you can do to help bring them in compliance, like install 7-zip rather than WinZip, but it's damning that you've been ignored by management after mentioning the problem.
I'd feel better reading about your situation if management had said "yeeeah, it's a big problem, we're working towards being legit". Bald faced denial means you have to get the hell out of there.
You are going to have to find another job. After you're out of there, you can forget all about it or report them to the BSA based on how big a dick you want to be. I'd usually never advise reporting a company to the BSA but if they've basically forced you out of your job I think it would be fair play.
America is now just a shell of its former self - a gigantic trade and budget deficit, a country wholly subservient to foreign (mostly arab) oil, and almost bought out by the Chinese government.
You've answered your own question about why America will not return to her glory days. More NASA funding would be nice, but the country is still embroiled in Iraq and the economy is still reeling. The government owns General Motors. The shining beacon of individual liberty and "can-do" capitalism has been forever tarnished.
AC, I think you might be right. I remember SiN and Soldier of Fortune both having location-based damage modifiers, but SoF was released in 2000 and SiN was 1998.

Facebook breaches Canadian privacy law: commissioner

I feel privileged to live in Canada where we've enshrined some of our expected privacy into law to fight assholes like this. I hope the United States follows suit someday.

Ah, thanks very much!
Do you happen to have any links illustrating the ssh client you mentioned? Sounds interesting.
Reminds me of "stealing" satellite signals. The government has cracked down on that pretty viciously.
Something that is idiotic but makes money does not become less idiotic. Twilight is hauling in millions of dollars.
Hey that gives me an idea, are there any casual Twilight games?

Quite right! It's a cubicle.
Oh, cmon, it's exactly like Watergate. Except completely different.
You know what they say... 79% of the time, it's correct every time.

These are good points, I agree with you.

Yeah, from the rest of his comment it seems he meant the exact opposite.
"If the network *is* fully loaded, it's hard to know the demand, because you have 100% usage, add more capacity, and quickly hit 100% usage"

Maybe I wouldn't have lost my job if I could have proven I have a laziness gene.
This is the worst astroturfing I've ever seen. The Toyota Camry is the best selling car in the United States. Think about it.
For your next trick, can I get an article about how movie vampires represent world-wide fear of religion?
