While we do hold that "just following orders" isn't a suitable defense for war crimes
AG Mukassey does not agree with that. Last night's interview on Lehrer News Hour had him state that no one can be investigated or charged for waterboarding because previous AG Gonzales said it was legal and that absolves anyone who followed that advice of any crime.
I don't agree with that, but that is the stance of the country's highest law enforcement official.
From the context of the post I would guess it means that the Bush administration is operating as an unaccountable corporate shill rather than a 'for the people' government. Bush Corporation... BushCo.
That reminds me of Lance missile crew training. Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine was the fuel and inhibited red fuming nitric acid was the oxidizer.
Both are hazardous and there was a leak indicator on the missile containter. IIRC half turned one color for UDMH and the other half turned another color for IRFNA. This usually prompted a question from trainees about what would happen if both were leaking:-D
They'll complain, but they keep right on paying these companies.
I recently saw a YouTube video that demonstrated *exactly* this. A ditzy young lady was complaining about her Time Warner Cable internet service. She points out how unreliable the service is and how slow they are to repair a broken line, then follows up with "and I keep paying them month after month after month!"
I guess her point was supposed to be that it is unfair for her to be reliable in her payments when Time Warner is not reliable in their service. What I was thinking: "That's exactly the kind of service you get when you blindly keep giving them money."
Everything bad she said about Time Warner is true and I experienced it first hand. I voted with my dollars about 6 months ago by switching to DSL. Did TWC learn a lesson? Maybe. Probably not. But a least there is a small chance that they did.
How about a pay per view televised event where they amputated your legs with a sledge hammer? It would take many swings, but I'm sure 80's celebrity Gallagher could do it with a live audience protected from flying knee meat by a plastic bib.
There were scientists involved and TFA mentioned Galileo... isn't that enough to make a nerdling stand on its hind legs and make excited chittering noises?
So rest assured, due to the diligence of/. editors, this story is very relevant and this post is completely on topic.
It is high resolution, high sample rate, multichannel uncompressed audio. Usually 24bit/96kHz 5.1.
Surely not a big CON for idiots with 'golden ears' who can't actually hear the MUSIC properly? Why is is that 'audiophiles' always listen to crap music?
I can hear the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio. I can hear a difference between stereo and 5.1. But if you are happy listening to a 128kbps MP3 through earbuds, more power to you.

No kidding, it's like watching the White House press secretary.

Which, of course, makes the PHBs and HR types very happy.

Ow! I think I damaged my brain.

If a robot has a mechanical claw in your pocket, you had better *hope* it's the key it comes away with.
The shares of Microsoft should help sustain its value.
If you had a wig, pepper spray, an adult diaper, a new steel mallet, a knife, rubber tubing, and a large garbage bag, what would you do with them?
Party like it's 1999!

That's not a drawback, it's a feature.
Or use an alternative 1960's solution.

It's the officers that should be liquidated.
It might be easier to just attend a Macworld conference.
Sounds like a government project to me. Is this a purchase option for the missile defense system?

I read it was actually MIX machine code converted directly to Java byte code by a drunken leprechaun.
Wikipedia is an awesome source.

Certainly that would fetch $20 million.

USA threatened by Chinese junk.
Really? I thought the Chinese had small penises.
Just hitch a horse to the front like they did in that Borat movie.
What is "TrueHD audio" when it's at home?
It is high resolution, high sample rate, multichannel uncompressed audio. Usually 24bit/96kHz 5.1.
