The he shouldn't have taken the oath. If he decided after he volunteered that the U.S. Government was the enemy, he should have take the appropriate measures to separate. And yes, there are ways for him to do that without going to prison.
Instead he decided to betray his country's trust and release secret information. He's fortunate that we don't tend to execute people these days for treason; he'll get to spend a great deal of time in prison. Hope he still believes that what he released, most of which we've already forgotten, was worth his freedom.
He release secret information. He knew the penalty for doing that and when he signed up he agreed to safe guard that information. He violated the law willingly and intentionally. Now he'll get the opportunity to do the time for the crime.
They do use version numbers; Gingerbread = Android 2.x, Honeycomb = Android 3.x and Ice Cream Sandwich = 4.x This way satisfy the enthusiasts craving for a sweet desert and the professional's need to not sound like an enthusiast.
Ah, also, read section 7 of the document in the link. There is a process for getting your information; it is not an easy process, but hell, when the government is involved nothing is easy.
Oh no, I truly believe the Terrorist Watch List is dangerous and it is only a matter of time until it is truly mis-used by those that own it (if it hasn't already happened). My point is, the article is making it sound like there is 'yet another scary list' being created. The problem with that is it takes the focus off the real issue; the US government slowly taking our rights and liberties away from its citizens; you know, for their own good of course.
I'm all for heated discussions about serious topics, but this article is misleading bit of FUD distracting people from the real issues.
While I don't like the Terrorist Screening Database operated by the FBI, this story is off the mark by making it sound like DHS is setting up a new list; which they are not. They are looking to improving how they get the information from the TSD. Read the abstract here:
No, sheesh, the West's combine economic output drawfs China's. They are, without a doubt, large, but they are not the largest economy in the world; they have the third largest, even then they aren't close. By most standards the US or EU GDP is nearly 3 times as high as China's. If China were to move forward and start paying their workers better they would move even further back. They can only sustain their growth as it is now by repressing their population and keeping them isolated. In this age that possibility is quickly eroding.
Same misconception that people had in the 70's and 80's about Japan buying up America. Do some research before your spout off stats feed to you by the media.
US and Individuals own: 42.2% Social Security Trust Fund: 17.9% All other foreign nations: 11.6% China: 7.5% US Civil Service Retirement Fund: 6.4% UK: 3.4% US Military Retirement Fund: 2.1% Oil Exporters:1.6% Brazil(?): 1.3%
Pure, plain, and utter rubbish.... It isn't the country or innovation that has made changes for worse, it is change you've not been able to leverage. All this BS about how everyone has destroyed everything I loved is pathetic. The world changes; we still have the largest economy is world, by far. 30 years ago Alvin Tofler wrote about the changing economy and how countries shift from one economic base to the next; it wasn't a surprise and it wasn't bad.
So, instead of complaining about the lack of innovation, come up with something innovative instead of the same old hackneyed complaint about the economy and where America is heading. Instead of looking what was lost look at what we are doing; commercial space, bio-tech, serious information economics, etc. Want to innovate in your garage; start building the next best robot, clean energy solution, battery storage.
Instead of telling the world to 'get off your lawn' invite them in and start innovating with the world.
Also, bringing 'industry' back to America would condemn your grand-children to working 40-hour weeks in a factory. That's what we all want to aspire to.
Nope, I had a Diamond RIO Mp3 player (huge full size HD w/ an LCD Screen), keyboards, mice, cameras, etc. Apple's baby was Firewire, not USB. Apple had Zip to do with the passing of floppies.
It was the increase in the RAM in computers which resulted in much larger programs being written. Since high speed network connectivity didn't really exist, there had to be a different medium to install all these huge programs; 30 disks just wasn't going to cut it. So, the next logical choice at the time was either Zip Drives or CD-roms. Zip drives were slow and too expensive to have any real staying power, so it fell to CDs. The next step after that was DVDs. Now that we have better connectivity we are seeing external media beginning to make it's exit.
But, it certainly wasn't Apple that drove that cart off the cliff.
He's a menace..... He thinks he's opening up communications and transparency. He's wrong, he'll just drive it deeper and encourage tighter controls and less information sharing across all industries and in government. He's also encouraged a number of people to co-opt their values for his child-like vision of a utopian society of no private information.

If it's that bad then become a greeter at Walmart and then you don't need to concern yourself with the IT Infrastructure. But, if you like the paycheck and the fact that you might doing something really cool then go outside, workout, read, get a hobby, drink heavily, whatever to let those feelings turn toward something constructive. But to complain about a high-stress job in a highly technical field to other high-tech inclined people is just plain silly.
They've got demo code up for Android on AR Drone's Developer Website; has some issues, but I suspect we'll see full featured Android controllers/games for the AR Drone if it sells.
Downside is that it's a really expensive toy that requires a really expensive controller. So, they may not sell too many of them.
Mine shipped on Saturday; will be giving the Android demo code a try as soon as I get it.
The online sales may have failed, but HTC and Google came out with a great piece of hardware. I've had mine for three months now, on AT&T, and wouldn't trade it for any other phones on the market; at least not yet.
It will be interesting to see if it will be the first phone to get Gingerbread (Android 3.0) like it did for Froyo (Android 2.2). The bump up to Froyo is fantastic.
The sad part is that we will see the end of open Android phones; the carriers really don't like people to root their phones and side load apps. Not sure how that effects development on those phones. Normal phone users could care less about that though, and frankly that is who they need to sell phones to.
Looking forward to what Google recommends for the next reference platform going forward past Gingerbread. I'm hoping that they have a dev version of one of the commercial phones that they will sell through dev channels; I'd pay the extra for an open version of the carriers phones.
Go directly to the ISP that owns the IP number and get the local police there.
Don't forget to post juicy stuff to he email account they are reading so they keep reading it. Then, send and email to infect the computer with a bot so it's easier to track and will automatically report back.

Quit watching the news and do some real research.

So, that means 68.6% if our debt is held by ourselves.

Can you actually still buy a computer with a floppy drive in it?
So, you are recommending putting bad data into the database as a better option? GIGO....
Yep, that's the piece of garbage I'm referring to.
Exactly like the facebook movie....
complete waste of time.
