Look at the background of some of the prominent folks in the IT Security field. People like Ron Gula (Dragon IDS, Tenable) came from an AF background. The AF has some very smart people (smart enough to join the AF and not get shot at) with lots of strong ties to NSA. That is why they should be heading up military presence in cyberspace.
At least according to the TA teaching my languages survey class. Of course, it could be because his grad school work was focused on it and not because it is actually useful.
When you decided to get into politics and/or make this run, how did you build your team? How did you choose your advisers? Were they all people you already knew or just knew one or two and they made recommendations? Basically, how does one go from "I think I could be a good Senator" to having the political machinery to make a run at it?
Even with a parachute, there are times just after take off or just before landing that a chute won't do any good. Lift failures during either of those results in a rock wrapped in nylon falling to the earth.
This is most certainly NOT a PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION system. The individual carriers are private businesses and you are contracting them to transport you under license from the FAA. You have no reasonable expectation of not being screened before boarding. If you don't like it you have the option of other travel (car, boat, etc.), the option of getting your own pilot license and plane, or the option of hiring a chartered flight.
In fact, M-M covers more than just cars. In the US, they would have to prove the OS change caused the cracking of the joint before they could deny warranty coverage.
Of course, in the US, stupid CompUSA would reload the factory OS disks and wipe out your hard drive in the process of fixing the hinge.
Has anyone done a study to find out if loudness is inversely corollated to the quality of the band? Does a modern pop group get amplified but they leave classic acts (pick your own favorite great rock band) alone? In that case I'd say the record companies are doing it because they know full well the level of crap being pushed on consumers and are trying to milk every last penny they can.
I'll also say that if they screw with Dark Side of the Moon so you hear that heart beat in the middle of every song I'll be pissed!
Neal Stephenson wrote about a similar method in Cryptonomicon. Something about using music to mask communications sent over radio. The sender plays music and masks the information being sent. The receiver knows what music it is and can play it to 'cancel out' the broadcast music leaving behind just the message. Or something like that.
The fact that Disney is working so hard to extend copyrights to an indefinite amount of time is rather ironic considering their biggest hits are from public domain stories. In fact, I hope a good EFF or other lawyer gets to point out in court that basically Disney would not likely exist if it weren't for the public domain.
Goldeneye != First console FPS game. Doom was released on the Atari Jaguar in 1994, 3 years before Goldeneye in 1997. And if the Jaguar isn't a popular enough console, then there was also the 1996 release on SNES. The people voting on this are smoking crack.
The desire to be a politician should preclude you from becoming one.
This was first brought up by Plato/Socrates c.470-347 BC. The most suitable candidates were the ones who didn't want the job (and associated power) in the first place as they would be the least corruptible and most likely to do a good job.
Any/.ers know of any useful comparisons between the various CMS systems out there? I don't just want a list of features but an actual comparison with ease-of-use, etc. I need to use something for my personal site.
Sadly not much detail on the extraction process. Good ol' water can store a lot of hydrogen cheaply but getting it out is a PITA.
Still, it'd be nice to pull up to a station and just drop a pellet (or bag of pellets) into the car and drive off again.

A "locked" glove box is considered different than an unlocked part of the car, regardless of if there is a "need" to access it for repairs. Look at the example of dry cleaning. You have no expectation of privacy since it is part of the normal job to look through the pockets for loose change, etc. On a PC, a technician may look around for large files causing a file system problem (I have to do this every time my file systems reach 90%). A "locked" compartment in the case of a PC is an encrypted file. If a dry cleaner finds a sealed envelope in your pocket they would be wrong to open it. If they find a gram of crack cocaine in a clear plastic bag, they should be responsible and report you.
Just because you bring it in for one problem doesn't mean they won't go looking for other problems as well. This protects them and you. If you bring a car for an oil change but you also have squealing brakes or bald tires they are obligated to check it out and give you an idea of other problems. Same with a PC. You bring it in for one problem but they may go poking around the system to check for other things. I used to do PC support and if we had the system in-house we made sure the customer wasn't going to come back the next day complaining of something else that we'd "missed". Therefore we had to be thorough about checking it out. Certainly they shouldn't check every file, and they won't since it would take too much time for the money they get. However, if they check a few files and find lots of porn, they should suspect there may be malicious ad-ware, viruses, etc. that should be cleaned before returning it to the customer. If in the process they find something obviously illegal they should call the police, which they did.
At that point, the police do not have to obtain a warrant to search since you have given up the resonable expectation of privacy. More specifically with the 4th amendment you have allowed a search and seizure by turning over control of the system.
Additional issues arise in determining the validity of consent to search when consent is given not by the suspect but by a third party. In the earlier cases, third party consent was deemed sufficient if that party ''possessed common authority over or other sufficient relationship to the premises or effects sought to be inspected.'' 85 Now, however, actual common authority over the premises is no longer required; it is enough if the searching officer had a reasonable but mistaken belief that the third party had common authority and could consent to the search.
If you gave them the PC with admin rights (gave them the password or the OK to access at that level) then they have 'common authority' over the system.
I support the EFF with $s but the way this is presented I disagree with them. Like others pointed out, you drop of a roll of film, your car, your suit (dry cleaning), etc. to a 3rd party, you have ZERO expectation of privacy anymore. If you are doing something illegal, someone else finds out about it and narcs you out, you have given up your expectation of privacy by not protecting your privacy.
The same goes for credit-cards, shoppers discount cards, TiVo, etc. If you want to deal with them then you give up privacy. If you want privacy more, you don't do those things (get MythTV, pay higher prices, grow your own vegetables, etc.)

Get off my lawn whippersnapper!
Then you should also note that the change was made by a Republican congress.

Cool. If he or his people read this. Thanks for the reply.
In a 'small world' kind of way, I'm from WI originally and a buddy of mine works for Herb Kohl.

How about Max Payne and bullet-time?
Ditto to others who mentioned UT and Descent.

Yeah, I 'might' envy the crew if I wanted to belong an eco-terrorist organization! I'm really sorry I won't be the main target of the French Navy!
Excellent! Thanks!

Skynet will be corrupted by Mardi Gras and thus decide to save all the hot chicks but kill the rest of us.
The LSU 9000 just doesn't have as nice a ring to it as calling it HAL.

May as well as why Linux/Mac/*BSD/etc. doesn't get the "respect it deserves." There is no real answer.
My personal thought is that price:performance was not in line with other choices available to the end consumer.
You karma whore!
