Let me see, do you give the money to the majority parts or the minority party?
If you have a Dem president do you really pour your money into trying to get Repubs to create the legislation you want and then just have it vetoed by the pres? Just look at the years you listed.
Clinton claimed that authority first and then tried to work it into HUD clauses after the fact. Other examples of warrantless searches:
One of the most famous examples of warrantless searches in recent years was the investigation of CIA official Aldrich H. Ames, who ultimately pleaded guilty to spying for the former Soviet Union. That case was largely built upon secret searches of Ames' home and office in 1993, conducted without federal warrants.
As to the legality of Bush's program:
In a 2002 opinion about the constitutionality of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the USA Patriot Act, the court wrote: "We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power."
Abramoff wasn't investigated for the money he was giving to congresspeople. Abramoff was investigated for defrauding Indian tribes and getting them to donate vast sums of money to congresspeople. So, saying that Abramoff didn't personally cut the check is disingenous at best.
Let's see, we have overseas interception of international calls and we scream "DOMESTIC SPYING!!!"
Before we had physical searches of US property and the excuse is "well, FISA didn't cover that"?!?!?
Could we try for just a little bit of consistency here?
Now go back and actually do some critical thinking.
Amongst, the people that Abramoff paid off includes Democratic congresscritters as well as Republicans. (Including Dem leadership.)
President Clinton claimed the right to perform warrantless phsical searches for "national security" reasons that included drug raids.
As for Katrina let's all go take a dip in the Mayor Ray Nagin memorial motor pool or sit down in one of those empty trains that left NOLA just before the hurricane hit. Maybe we could sit around with the Red Cross relief supplies that the mayor and the governor wouldn't let reach the dome were the non-existent child-raping and murdering was going on. Or you could just go down there and find the missing 9,000 dead people that showed how Bush-Co hated black people.
The fact is that they actually had gotten actionable intelligence from it.
The idea that there were wiretaps was certainly known, but the methods and technologies being used in this case were not. Details in the book actually point to this being more of an effort to get information about where calls and emails were coming from and to as opposed to the actual content of the calls and emails.
As for warrants and FISA, read up on some analysis of the program by people over at volokh.com and you'll see that it's not simply "They HAD to get a warrant." cut and dry in this situation.
We were also getting information from Osama's sat phone until there was a news report about that one too.
The millenium bomber was nabbed at the border because one agent thought he looked like a drug smuggler. (It turned out it was explosives and not drugs in his trunk.)
As for things working before 9/11 it obviously failed because they couldn't get the FBI to help look for two of the hijackers and they couldn't search the computer of the "13th hijacker".
The point is that these operations were not law enforcement actions. We're talking war here people. Arresting someone after they've blown themselves to smithereens isn't terribly effective.
Did you know about the bigger than 9/11 plot related arrests in Italy? Turns out that the information related to that was from domestic wiretaps in that country.
Revealing classified information to the media is illegal. Stop. End of discussion.
There is a well established (as in legally defined) process for intelligence people to bring any problems that they might have to various review boards in the millitary, the DoJ, the NSA, and Congress as well. The "Domestic Wiretapping" program was actually already undergoing these reviews over the course of years.
Thanks to this "principled whistleblower" and his friends we have now lost a source of actionable intelligence. This on top of apparently arrests of people in Italy who were planning to launch attacks aimed at much greater casualty figures than 9/11. (You can go and ask the NYT why they didn't bother reporting this to you.)
You might want to rail against those "Republicans" who voted unanimously against Kyoto in the sense of the Senate resolution back when the enlightened Bill Clinton and Albert "The Environment in Balance" Gore were running the show.
Until you acknowledge that this isn't simply "the damn Republicans want to destroy everything for a buck" your arguments are needlessly inflammatory.
Beginning at Milestone 1 however, some upgraded components were out of support from SLES 8 and updates for those components had to be obtained from the package distribution sites. As of Milestone 1, MySQL patches were obtained from the MySQL distribution site and as of milestone 2, glibc and directly related packages were maintained through manually applying SLES 9 patches.
If we look at the history of SuSE then we see Novell's big involvement was in the 9.0 world. Right from the get-go we can see that forcing the administrators to remain on SLES 8 is creating problems that would be considered a show stopper in a regular environment. Especially if you're talking about buying components with their required environments. The fact that you even have the option of applying SLES 9.0 patches to an 8.0 environment is something that you can't do in the Windows world.
What were the "third-party components" installed on the systems? The following dodge "The specific 3rd party vendors are not disclosed because the focus of the study is the methodology and not a specific component." is complete bull if you're crowing about the repeatability of your experiment. How can the experiment be repeated if we don't know the items? (It would be interesting to know if those components didn't support SLES 8 at the time of their installation.)
Also, why this requirement for the components: "Support on both Windows and Linux" when your environments are obviously not equivalent (IIS/ASP versus LAMP instead of J2EE)?
Massachusetts did not go OSS. Massachussetts went open format (this also explains why PDF is an acceptable format too). The advantage is that vendors can compete with both closed and open solutions as long as the data they produce is in the open format.
If you kill the actual java.exe then how can it still hold on to memory?
If actually stopping, waiting, and restarting the JVM(s?) does NOT release the memory then something else is leaking. I saw one computer here that was leaking a small amount of memory because it was constantly refreshing a web page and losing about 4k a refresh (at 2 secs/refresh for 3 or 4 days it adds up).
You also might want to enable some logging on your JVM like -verbosegc or -Xloggc:[filename] to see what's happening related to the garbage collection.
The point of a hybrid is that it uses an ICE engine running at high efficiency (plus regnerative braking) to generate electricity that it stores. You're not plugging it in at night to suck off the grid.
Your example fails on one point. In this case the person who claims to own said code was the one who released it under the GPL.
Now they can try to claim that they didn't realize that they were licensing their own code but that's a hard sell especially when they didn't yank the code immediately off their site when they made the claim. You could download Linux from SCO's site for at least a year after their initial claim.
While the different gray shades are all well and good if you have to push your picture down to 72 to 100 dpi then don't you lose the advantage of that color differentiation by filtering out the subtle objects? (I guess you could zoom in but that has its own problems.)
There should be a middle layer that does that talking and filtering. This insulates you from things like changing where the database server resides, what DB software you're using and even changes to the table layout/column data types.
Stored procedures only provide you a portion of that insulation. Suppose you go and move the database from mySQL to Oracle because you have a ten-fold increase in transactions. Suppose you go from a single box to a DB cluster.
Neither of these changes would affect the screen being presented to the end user but it would affect the logic that generates that screen. So you could either go in an touch every single page and update them to the new DB pointers and files or you could leave that back with the controller/business logic level and leave the page alone.
No, No, No, the point is that you should NEVER has the data layer and the presentation layer talking directly to each other. There should be a middle layer that does that talking and filtering. This insulates you from things like changing where the database server resides, what DB software you're using and even changes to the table layout/column data types.
Now if you're just slapping together some 5 minute thing for internal use then link away dear chap. If you're talking about an Enterprise grade app then we're going to have to take you around back and flog you.

Actually hurricane activity is cyclic in nature and not driven by any current climate trend.

Transparent Aluminum Is Here
Posted by Hemos on Mon Aug 23, '04 10:09 AM
We've been duped! Though I guess this might be different transparent aluminum.
Either way, we see through their ploy.
While the different gray shades are all well and good if you have to push your picture down to 72 to 100 dpi then don't you lose the advantage of that color differentiation by filtering out the subtle objects? (I guess you could zoom in but that has its own problems.)

So you could either go in an touch every single page and update them to the new DB pointers and files or you could leave that back with the controller/business logic level and leave the page alone.
That was my point about insulation.
No, No, No, the point is that you should NEVER has the data layer and the presentation layer talking directly to each other. There should be a middle layer that does that talking and filtering. This insulates you from things like changing where the database server resides, what DB software you're using and even changes to the table layout/column data types.

That sounds a bit cruel, maybe they just need to drink a lot instead.
