Maybe not the CIA, but how about DoD intelligence or Total Information Awareness? Part of Rumsfeld's reorganization has been to absorb most of the operational intelligence into the NSA and the DoD. They've also put a political crony in at the top of CIA (Porter Goss), in order to let it wither.
Call this prepping the market for the dismantling of the CIA, and the traditional posse comitatus divide between domestic and foreign, and thus civilian and military intelligence.
The most frustrating thing, is the worse the political heads of these bureaucracies f things up, the more leverage they give to the party to re-organize government as a way to 'fix' these problems. All the while completely avoiding accountability./This is me pulling out my hair//Will need tinfoil hat to cover bald spot, not to keep out mind control rays.
Third Amendment - Protection from quartering of troops. = lost. The army can assign you to bunk with someone or someone to bunk with you at any time, for any reason.
You lost me by #3. If a soldier owns a house next to base, the government cannot order the soldier to house other soldiers without the owner's consent.
Use a nuclear reactor to make drinking water - what could possibly go wrong?
When the Admiral Rickover was building the navy's nuclear fleet, he drank a glass of coolant water in front of the Congressional subcommittee to demonstrate safety.
If district attorneys behaved as you think they should, mindlessly prosecuting every violation of statute with no discretion allowable, it would not serve the state's interests at all. Not only would it have to build more prisons than it can afford, it would quickly run out of district attorneys- in fact it would run out of courts! Real criminals would be roaming the streets while prisons would fill with technical violators. As its legal representative the DA has a duty to take all of the state's interests into account. Prosecuting violations of statute is one of them- but not the only one.
The problem with discretion, especially if the DA is elected, is the people are voting for their own selective enforcement of law. This might be fine in Utah where bigamy is supported or at least tolerable, but not so fine in say the Jim Crow south.
If you're better / faster / more efficient than you peers, you will end up better compensated in the long run. If you're THAT much better than your peers (5x as in the example), maybe you're doing yourself a disservice by being an employee when you could clearly do better by being a contract consultant.
Indeed let us not forget. Let us also remember the words of a leader who understood the proper separation and relationship between religion and secular military organizations. That leader would be Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann, your senior drill instructor, who said:
"Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few Marines! God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps!"
These guys started at the bottom of the pile, right? Just like the great majority of us, they were workers. Then they had a great idea, and now years later, they're billionaires because of it. It's the american dream.
IANAGB (Google biographer), but the founders were both grad students. While it's certainly a shit job, a grad student isn't exactly a 'worker' in the blue collar sense. And they did have a good idea, but they also happened to have it at one of the most elite universities in the world (Stanford) which is utterly surrounded (besieged?) by angel investors and VCs. I'm not saying what they achieved was luck, but luck favors the prepared, and the Ivied, and those with friends on Sand Hill Road.
Why does everyone assume that just because they've made money they've turned to the dark side?
Publically traded companies ARE the dark side, practically by definition. It can be a reasonable trade off to sell off a chunk so you and your employees can jump on the stock option gravy train, reporting, sarbanes-oxley, and accountability to investors are huge burdens on a company.
I used to buy several games a year, the cool shooters, RPGs that caught my eye, the Sims 2 for my girlfriend. However, since I bought WoW, I haven't played anything else. Oh I BOUGHT Battlefield 2, and Civilization 4, but I still haven't really played them.
Here's the thing though, one of the main reasons keeping me on windows was PC gaming. If the mac version is as good as advertised, my next PC will be a mac. All of the other programs I need are platform agnostic.

This isn't an accident. republican language is highly focus grouped.
I also dont know if any game allows to use guns for attention getting
Nothing gets their attention quite like two to the chest.
Ugh. I just had visions of the IT department getting a raid party together and heading down to payroll.
Mages vs Shadow priests? I gotta go with payroll on this one.

What's your connection running through, and who is it serving?
Where are your servers and can I count them?

The barracks is government property.

The job of the jury is to ensure that _justice_ is done, not that the law is followed.
I'm sure Southern all-white juries thought the same thing.
I think you have some merit to your argument, but remember that justice is a process, not a result.
This would kill Open Source.
Would you put the yogurt of some guy named Linus in your mouth?

"Today
ha ha, only serious.
Of course, it has been a little buggy since the Jan 2001 release.
That wasn't a release. It was leaked.
But I don't see Christians rioting in the street, setting things on fire, and calling for people to die over these things, do you?
Never heard of the Reformation? Try reading up on calvinism

- Will Windows or Linux be ported to these new MacTel boxes first?
Wake me up when I can run BSD on one of these new macs.
It wasn't a final, but I walked into class one morning and one of my classmates asked, "So are you ready for the exam?" "Uhh...what exam?"
I scored my first and only 100 on any exam in college.
El Wife and I got a puppy recently
...her?
Did you....ahh..check under the hood before you married
Being sorry and being sorry you got caught are two different things entirely.
The accidental order was 42 times bigger than the number of issued shares, but a computer warning of the misplaced order was overlooked
Guess that rules out coicidence.
You do know that there is a pathology related to having an extra X chromosome, right?
The author clearly has never had his Cloudsong zerged out from under him.
