A bill like this would be an admission by the United States what we can no longer compete in the same manner that we've done for the past 236 years. Everyone all the way back to our great, great, great, great, great grandparents have been able to compete in the world using what was more or less the current patenting system (and build one of the most prosperous counties in the world during that time, by the way).
But now we're admitting that our generation can't do it.
"CIOs are being dismissed by CEOs as too techie and not aligned with business activities."
One of the main purposes of CIOs and CTOs to represent the technology side of the business at the executive level. I work for a client that has no CIO or CTO and middle management is supposed to step up for the technology-side, but their not at the same level as the CEO and they're afraid to tell the executives the truth. CTOs and CIOs report to the board so that they have an equal standing with other executives.
It's a good thing that the House killed this bill.
If a potential employer asks to see your Facebook page then you'll have a pretty good idea of their other official (and unofficial) policies. I'd like to have as much insight as possible into the employers intrusive tendencies during the interview process than after I've been hired.
Elite by Firebird was an awesome! It was definitely way ahead of it's time and should be on the top 10 for sure. I can't even imagine how many hundreds of hours I played that game.
Moebius: The Orb of Celestial Harmony should be on the list too.
I'll allow a perceptive employer to see my Facebook page if they'll let me see the company financial books. That way we can both know there's no funny business going on.
Otherwise we can both agree to trust each other and get some work done.
I knew this quote sounded familiar. It's been said every four or five years about New York and Chicago crime families since the 1920's.
'This is devastating to the organization,' said an FBI official involved with the investigation. 'We're chopping off the head of the Gambino Crime family.'"
One way to get around the ability of the police to destroy evidence would be to have a low quality stream of the video saved in real-time to a remote device and have a person holding the remote storage device be out of sight. Either that or save a low-quality stream to a cloud service.
Companies like Apple 'create amazing products and vast shareholder wealth, but they don't spread this wealth around as much as earlier industrial giants did,' writes Henry Blodget.
Companies like Apple do spread wealth around like earlier industrial giants, but the difference is the generated wealth isn't concentrated in the U.S. anymore.
The US Supreme Court also upheld the Constitutional right of Americans to own guns. I wonder if Gov. Brown will use this wholesale attitude be signing all legislation to uphold the right to arms and vetoing all gun control legislation?
Four days? A person shouldn't be allowed to be arrested by anyone until they can be charged with a crime. Anything less allows law enforcement to make arbitrary arrests solely for the purpose of intimidation.
Numbers 1-7 deal with the police. Law enforcement in Britain and the United States have been given unprecedented, unchecked power in the past 10 years. Believe me, with the possible exception of a couple sacrificial lambs, if there's one group that will come out virtually unscathed in this case it's law enforcement.
The Trusted Traveler Program looks like a door with a lock that's waiting for a criminal to pick it.
Governments have tried for centuries to figure out a way to positively identify people and they've never been able to do it, which makes the whole system useless when it's purpose is to stop crime. Are we to believe that the Trusted Traveler Program will work while, at the same time, FBI Top Ten Most Wanted serial murderers like mobster Whitey Bulger are able to travel freely across the U.S. and across international borders using fake IDs and fake passports which are available to anyone with the incentive?
I agree with you, but we currently live in world where most people (including judges) don't understand how to look past the technology and see the true issue. This is one reason why we have a set of laws that garner harsher penalties for unauthorized access to a computer via the Internet and separate set of laws regarding unauthorized access to private property via physical intrusion that carry, in many cases, a much less severe penalty.
He noted that Facebook-style networks kept users within their existing friend groups, and didn't 'stretch' them to meet new people. Berners-Lee asked how can we 'make use of the web so it connects people together and breaks down barriers more than it builds them up.'
How is this any different than how people interact in the real world? I usually meet people through existing friends or through activities I participate in. Why does Tim think that the Internet would cause people to behave differently than in real life?
about the only why I've seen the Internet change the way people behave is because the Internet offers a level of anonymity, which causes people to feel more free to state their true opinion, for good or bad. But I'm sure this isn't what Tim means when he talks about breaking down barriers and connecting people together.

Think of it as a litmus test.
I'm not sure about your other programming skills, but you've definitely mastered println() function.

You're assuming that the ability to memorize makes a person smart.
It doesn't.
"Was the world just not ready for it?"
That's like asking why the first commercial flight didn't happen until 11 years after the Wright Brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk.

When the TSA starts costing businesses money, our bought-and-paid-for Congress will rein them in.
That's why the DHS, TSA and Congress offers businesses the "Trusted Traveler Program". They knows who feeds them.
This is an opportunity...

You didn't expect something like this in a country that had apartheid until 1990 and imprisoned people who spoke out in favor or equal rights? Really?
$1.6 billion is a bargain to have space and time ripped up. The money won't be missed anyway.

Judging by all of the new and expensive high-tech toys police departments are buying you'd hardly know that the rest of the country is broke.

Wouldn't encyclopedias and dictionaries have had the same effect before people used the Internet?
Maybe the phenomena would be proportionality bigger now, but it's not specific to the Internet.

Hmm... maybe there should be a telephone Interpol too.
