Given the level of awareness present in this comment thread, I can tell my slashdot karma isn't going to get any better. I am transgender and my slashdot ID is lower than almost all you ignorant phobes.
Yes, it was Condi's unpopular views that caused her to miss so many things, like the forged documents saying Iraq was trying to get weapons grade uranium from Africa. If she was more popular, rather than more competent, perhaps this would have shed light on the lies that led to the Iraq war.
It was just the most colossal screw up in modern history, sure, give Condi a pass, bro! Let her rehab her torture and war stained reputation on corporate boards!
Well, no. Me and my cronies aren't going to leave, and we will continue to oppose the involvement of those with blood on their hands. Condi doesn't bring anything but the stink of torture to the table. You're sooooo welcome to her.
We don't want anything to do with a corporation that has Condi on the board. We determine what we want our worlds to be like... and we don't want Condi Rice in our world. At all.
Uh, no. This is a feeble understanding of HIPAA. HIPAA would only be involved with the information in the medical record, and violations occur when information in the medical record is shared in a way that HIPAA does not allow. There are many exemptions.
Googles records of a person's search, even a doctor's search, would not constitute sharing a patient's personal medical information(PMO) in a way prohibited by HIPAA.
The idea that google knows something has been searched, then by extension 'the government knows it', therefore an inference can be made about the subject matter of the search, therefore something was illegally shared in violation of HIPAA? No way....
The google searches occur because the PMI in the record doesn't match the physical evidence in front of the health care professional. If a doctor learns something about a patient's medical condition on the internet, the privacy afforded by HIPAA should apply, of course.
I don't use BSD, I just wanted to see if the "BSD is dying" troll still posted. It has been years, eh?
It does also seem to me that the FreeBSDk thing is meant to make certain features available to developers, maybe be more reliable, and "faster, faster" isn't being sold as part of the bill of goods. Yet, the talk returns to speed, speed, speed.
But what do I know... I work as a nurse. Although... I DO love a fast computer.
I just remember being thrilled at a command prompt with something other than DOS. Some early Redhat it was. And then getting an X-window up and loving the right-click.
What did I "do"? I just enjoyed the thrill. Late 90's or so.
I remember law students staring at me sideways in 1999 when I booted Caldera on my laptop... just wanted to see how wasy it was to use real-time in class. People still stare funny when they see Linux on a laptop.
For beginners, I attended law school, graduated 2001. Laptop use was about 30%, more as time went on and laptops became more powerful.
This professor is TOTALLY within her rights. This is law school. She gets to teach however she wants. Don't like it ? Too bad. It's her class and she gets to create whatever atmosphere she thinks is best.
This is a law school issue much more than a slashdot issue. If you haven't been to law school, your response is possibly interesting, but you cannot really understand. If somebody wants to quit law achool over this, they really are whiny asses and shouldn't be thinking about being a lawyer.
Slashdot Mirror
The last time I read a "why don't people switch to Linux" piece I had good Slashdot karma.

I can get out my Turbo Pascal box again!
Or he is really pissed off. He'd probably consider this drug abuse.
Because it's the only language I have extensive experience in.
Wow, going after Hillary, that is original!
Hillary doesn't need lousy tech company board jobs to wash the blood off her hands... at least not as much blood as Condi has to wash off.
Yeah, she's legitimate after she blames people in the "bowels" of the agency [NSA] she's a part of for her failures.
Oh, I get it... you think she's "legitimate" because other rich people like her, not because of an actual record of competence.
My mistake.

I want everything she touches to be radioactive.
She earned it.
Maybe since it is a sales position, there is a bonus structure of some kind.
If we're talking Indian, do we mean dot-com or feather-com?

It is infinitesimally small. And whatever infinitesimal amount there is won't be solved by tougher voter ID requirements.
Didn't Ryan Bingham do this already?

But only if they have to do it on punch cards, like I did. Give each student a can of WD40 to keep the machines working smoothly, too.

The Asus 1000HE, latest model. Very zippy, windows XP does the simple stuff well and works with IE easily so I can use it at work.
I like Linux, but it isn't worth the effort on the little machine. I dual boot my big desktop.
When the first questionable but exciting buzzwords come to life, just explain away the doubters with more buzzwords that sound even better!!
