I believe this study will end up receiving more than its fair share of replication and confirmation studies.
In fact, I can see several follow-up studies on if (and possibly why) this is specific to stout. How about a nice lager "control group" for the lads at table 3?
The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a Direct Democracy. It is NOT the job of the elected representative to query his constituency on every issue. It is his job to represent ALL of the people of his constituency as best he can, using his talents, wisdom and judgments.
The Founding Fathers were vehemently against a Democracy and with good reason. It rapidly degenerates into a tyranny of the majority. If the populace is contentious enough to not be able to form a majority, nothing is accomplished.
In the case of Stuxnet, your average hacker doesn't have access to nuclear centrifuge controllers to develop and debug on. For code that is as finely tuned as it was, you need a development lab that includes the target systems or at least true simulations thereof.
For something like Flame, with it being as targeted as it is, you'd expect something similar.
Butler wasn't wrong in the general case, only in that specific one. He was speaking from experience gained by U.S. adventurism in Central and South America.
For every one "justifiable war" you can name, such as the defense of Europe from Nazism, I can name a dozen or more that fit Butler's description.
People use computers to run applications. The operating system should be chosen to support the applications they need, not the other way around.
Business already has too many problems with Mac fanatics insisting on using Apple products. The main issue is they demand the computer/OS *before* seeing if any of the applications used at the office are supported. Ass backwards.
However, the question in the article was a non-sequitur. The use of cloud services has absolutely nothing to do with operating system of choice. It has to do with losing control of data.
Case in point, IBM didn't say "You can't use Dropbox on Windows", they said "You can't use Dropbox". Yes, there is a Linux client for Dropbox.
This has been done before. You're over thinking it if you suggest a blog might be used. The HSPD-12 implementation status sites are most commonly a single HTML page or a single PDF document linked off an agency website.
For example, the U.S. International Trade Commission. Go to their main page at http://www.itc.gov/. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the HSPD-12 (PDF) link.
Uh, you do understand the 90 day deadline is for the agencies to have a website that shows their progress. It isn't referring to actually getting the job done.
You can learn what you need for Excel in a week of basic classes and maybe a week of specialty instruction. Actually, all of it can be learned online if the student is motivated.
This is teaching the basics of CS. HOW and WHY a computer and software work, not can I calculate and graph the equitable division of the lunch check.
While the latter may be useful, the skill sets are not mutually exclusive.
Think of it as the computer educational equivalent of survival and inquiry, not sophistication. [Bonus geek points if you get the reference.]
Considering they're not one, not two, but NINETEEN versions behind in their OpenSSL software (currently at 0.9.8x) AND they're running FrontPage extensions, I have little confidence in their online process for creating accounts and placing orders. Oh, and they're 2 versions behind on Apache as well.

Most of their website seems to not exist. The "about", "blog" and "pre-order" pages are no longer there -- if they ever were. Google's cache doesn't seem to have them. Nor does the Internet Archive have a copy.

Sorry. That was what was posted on the source site.
No sir, it is not.

The exact same way they vote now. Democrat activists will bus them to the polls.

An internal civil war can be considered a separate category. Butler was addressing external intervention, imperialism and adventurism.
Butler wasn't wrong in the general case, only in that specific one. He was speaking from experience gained by U.S. adventurism in Central and South America.

Germany still produces some rays of light.
To be accurate... he was born in India and moved to Germany with his family at age 12. He did not speak a word of German when he arrived.
While credit must be given to the German school system, I think most of his accomplishment comes from him and possibly his family.

They might be more expensive than you're looking for, but they have a nice selection.

THAT is what is being mandated.

Uh, what? No.
The fundamentals of RSA's algorithm (RSA) are not "broken".
Please provide links if you think otherwise. No, the various attacks listed on Wikipedia don't count.
In the world of encryption, the math behind RSA was patented. So is the math behind IDEA, IIRC. This isn't new.

Linux allows you to mount partitions as "read only". Also, look up "immutable" (chattr) and the extended ACLs used in SELinux.
Texture. I'm not blind, but I've done this all the time without looking. The data side is much smoother.
If there is one species that is more resilient than cockroaches it has to be lawyers.
I can easily foresee lawsuits from neighboring countries, especially those downwind of the eruption.
The various airlines might see an opportunity as well.
No comments about Zynga, the makers of Farmville, tanking?
Twice during the day (so far), their stock dropped more than 10% in 5 minutes and resulted in a halt to trading.

Yes and no. We actively avoid it, but sometimes they sneak in.
For example, I still see occasional things bought that require a specific version of Java to work. "Sun JRE 5.1.2 - 5.2.4 only" type of stuff.
From an end-user perspective, proprietary is evil. There is a potential for you to get left hanging so we really try and avoid it.
No. Google is moving to a sponsorship system. It is now "The Persian Gulf, brought to you by Budweiser".
Hmmm...I guess you never used SPARCstations from Sun. The power button for the system was the upper-right key on the keyboard (Type 5).
I've seen them replaced with red keycaps as well as entire rooms of systems with them physically removed.
