I work for a LARGE government contractor and have had a hard time getting management to realize Open Source in general and the GPL in particular aren't bad for business. Open source here has the same connotation as red communism. Can't get many of them to stop calling it freeware. With Sun making Java GPL they won't have the choice of sticking with that attitude anymore. Many of our existing projects use Java already!
This sounds reasonable especially since Target is such a big retailer. It doesn't require too much effort either since Target could just provide an alternate "face" for the text readers.
If you haven't noticed, most of these issues are blown out of proportion. This is the media trying to "create" news instead of reporting it. Look at any system involving humans under a microscope and things look a little messy at the deepest levels. Ask questions? Sure? Demonizing poll workers, voting officials and voting machine companies is assenine.
1.77 metric tons of uranium -- certainly raw materials for WMDs, but not actual WMDs. How quickly convertible to fuel for A-Bombs dependent on sophistication of secretly constructed at Tuwaitha.
1,000 (items of) radioactive materials -- definitely at least some WMDs.
The "Polish 17 chemical weapons -- definitely WMDs.
The Mosul Chem Lab -- inconclusive, straining credulity that none of Saddam's chemical weapons ever passed though there.
The Sarin Shell -- definitely a WMD.
The Mustard Shell -- not a WMD itself, but indicative of hundreds of shells known to be unaccounted for and later found to be 75% filled and usable WMDs.
I may not agree with a lot of that this organization says but.... The US makes a lot of noise about the importance of Freedom while at the same time fostering a system that is steadily eroding individual liberty. Just look at the size of the prison population and count how many police you pass on your way into work each day. Then ponder how many laws you are unintentionally breaking right now. A system where anyone can be nailed at anytime if they upset those in power (or are able to play the system).
Freedon:Freedom is the right, or the capacity, of self-determination,as an expression of the individual will.
Liberty: Liberty, or freedom, is a condition in which an individual has immunity from the arbitrary exercise of authority.
Adult Swim aside, without exposure like this there is little chance of American folks becoming fans. Heck, I've been using YouTube for the last few days to help buy Anime (check for popularity and samples) for my kids and myself for Christmas. Bad move.
I thought by now we'd see a little icon at he corner of the screen whenever someone is talking on the news to display probability of deceipt. There are auditory and visual cues to detecting a lie, I'd think by now we'd have computers doing this real-time.
It was eventually coopted and became the monolithic voice of corporate america instead of a medium of expressing thoughts, opinions and art. That applies to both FM Radio and the government itself.
70% anti-republican propaganda. I've been a subscriber for about a year and every time I read one of their propaganda articles I feel sorry for the brainless potheads absorbing this stuff.

For the most part you just described the last Congressional elections too.

Waaaaahoooo there, back up there kiddos. Just kidding.
You have been too brainwashed by the press to listen to reason and understand.
I believe both are currently supported.
Install FFDShow, Flash and Quicktime. If it don't play then it ain't woth playing.
Chavez will get what's coming to him sooner or later.
You Aussies got some hot chicks!
Seriously, I can't remember the last time I bought something by Sony.

I'd rather see Halo as an Anime series.
To err is human.
Cool. I was a 4 Plant RM on the Big-E from 89-93.
In an interview the YouTube dude said nothing gets the warning flag clickthrough without being reviewed by a YUouTube employee first.
Bad, if you consider YouTube a news or public information site.
Good, possibly, if they are pandering to their target audience to maximize viewership. You don't get equal time on the Daily Show either.
And yeah, I'm one of those conservative folks who was annoyed by this; but hey, its a entertainment site.

I love Armageddon. Watched it a crapload of times. But then again I also own all 6 seasons of Xena, Hercules, Highlander and the original Star Trek.

The viral provisions of many open source licenses scare them off? From firsthand experience I can tel you that it does.
Also, you have the anti-US, anti-DoD attitude of many "open source" developers and advocates.
At least the slimy mofo George Keyworth who was blabbing to the press got his name slimed.
