Yeah, geez. Damn contractors. Just a _little_ reading convinced me to use ssh/scp on my home DSL LAN. Guess I'm qualified to be a $100,000+ contract troubleshooter to go in and fix this U.S. military intelligence problem. heh, heh.
Seriously, like they sent some 25-year-old well-placed Republican KID who didn't know crap over to Iraq to set up their stock market, you have to wonder whether this was set up by some retarded bayou kin to somebody in "the party" who could get him the job.
Oh, well. What is impeachment? A slap on the wrist. For all the billions Halliburton has stolen, you think this White House won't be able to sooth its shame with the sweet balm of green?
Now, execution live on FOX for willful and treasonous usurpation of the constitution and crimes against humanity in preemptively invading a country on a lie leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands -- that would be a different matter in offering an example to potential office holders who might also hold imperial leanings. Since that isn't going to happen, want to place any bets on what sort of murderous thief our next president will be like? And the one after that. And the one after that.
The institution I work has been using Postini for almost a year now. It works pretty well. But, I've also used DSPAM and Spamassassin, and Postini is definitely not $625M better than either of those two.
I'm guessing you're the one who's right. Results talk. The local ISP I use has been pretty sharp and customer-responsive. They just completed their move AWAY from Postini (I could almost say the other "day" for amusing timing) after several years to a product they believe will be more flexible and responsive.

Explosives Camp

I'm not sure I approve. I've met a chemistry professor and summer program teen instructor who sprinkled the iodide crystals around the lab floor so they would pop underfoot the first day of class. He had a student go home and fatally blow himself up in the garage.
The kid had responsibility but its not an entirely clean argument because you are showing people who aren't adults how to do cool lethal things. The bright, self-motivated, risk takers who could turn out to be great adults in fact. The instructor continued to use the demonstration for that first day of class "wow" factor but for everybody's good, including his peace of mind, he ramped up his "scared straight" speech to uncool levels that they _would_not_ do this at home.
So a teen school dedicated solely to high explosives? What are the odds we'll hear about at least one of their students in future news?
So, from here on, Massachusetts residents are obliged by law to make money for a profit-oriented company (that may or may not actually cover their ailments).
Glad I'm not living in Massachusetts. But this example might be the absurdity that kills the "reformist progressives" who want to have it both ways by not fighting the private interests yet provide health coverage.
If you have to be _below_ the federal poverty level before you "may [!] be eligible for health care at no cost" aren't there going to be a lot of crazily desperate people in Massachusetts? Its my understanding you have to practically be living free in your brother-in-laws thrown-away trailer behind the hedgerow to survive on the federal poverty level to begin with without having yet another deduction from your pay. You're making $1600-1700 a month or so with a kid or two and you still have to pay "something" for health insurance? Sounds a little like the good deal the seniors got for their drugs.
With the possible exception of Oracle, Apple is the most arrogant organization
You're too kind. Even Oracle released a free 10g for the small user in response to MySQL and, I particularly like to think, PostgreSQL. So let's go with Apple.
Don't look at what they _do_. Look at what they _say_.
And, technically, the principle states that one _can_ make money without doing evil. I don't see how that logically implies you _can't_ make money doing evil. So there's a lot of room to adjust the mix as market conditions warrant and I'm sure when the day comes that more money can be made not doing evil, they will be at the forefront with a really nice statement of principles like that.
Bill Gates is the richest man on the planet, but he has also given away more money to philanthropy than any man on the planet.
Yeah, _our_ money. (Speaking of tired, tired analogies)
Seriously, isn't being a Robber Baron a little uncoolly stale by about a hundred years? Carnegie built libraries. I don't know what Rockefeller did offhand. But under the category of "Robber Baron" hasn't the air of "asshole" followed them all down through history?
Ahhhh, I love when these discussions that come up. The "Luddites" come out against this, claiming we are playing god.
On the other hand, I can remember an article in the 60s advising amateur radio operators that if they were _really_ nice to their local electricity provider, maybe one of the field techs would pour off a gallon of transformer oil for their transmitter's dummy load.
it's routine in other third world countries like Namibia, the Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea. Otherwise, how will the secret police be able to coordinate surveillance?
Habeas Corpus has been reduced to something we have at the whim of the commander in the United States so we are effectively a third-world government. It is hardly surprising to see other third world mechanisms of control that have survived the test of time proposed here as well.
Presumably, detailed records relating to living people will remain classified?
(I assume you're referring to the theory that a rogue Bay of Pigs commando group who had been affiliated with a "Bush" according to the one FBI memo were the people who got Kennedy. Just a coincidence that Dubya's father George H. W. was in the CIA working on Pay of Pigs.)
Realism? Well, yeah. Sort of. My take is more like "cheating?" or "Good taste?"
First, hovercraft, a lot of neon, and replicants of course but there isn't _all_ that much "visible" tech to guess at and get wrong in Blade Runner. For example, it had been a while since I'd watched the first 20 minutes or so of the original Alien. Groundbreaking realism after a fashion. But now the cockpits look clunky. Maybe not the way '50s spaceships looked clunky in the '70s, but clunky. Blade Runner dodged a lot of that.
Second, the setting is "conservative". When it isn't goth neo-deco, it's "now" rotted decades later. Compare that with 2001 and Clockwork Orange where Kubrick took Pop 60s that had already happened and ramped them into an idiosyncratic lampoon. Blade Runner didn't go nuts like that and was all the more accurate in being conservative.
Yeah, well. Then the Dutch East India company obviously did a much better job controlling their colony in South Africa than Hudson Bay did in Canada. The solution in South Africa was to abandon the colony and take your chances on the frontier. Probably a little harder to independently live off the land on Mars though.
It's the distribution. Think of how many copies her father will make for the secret service agents who have to ride bike with him. And the copies they will make. And then every Republican will want a copy. $1.8 million sounds low. This could really cut into Jenna's allowance.
claiming that small community stations would interfere with the signals of larger stations.
Who complains when it is the other way around? I remember when the campus station came on the air at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and I could pick it up from a few miles away if I clicked "mono". Easy to remember because seven days later our MONSTER ROCKIN' HITS! 800-lb gorilla of a station activated their gazillion watt antenna on top of a 50 story building and the overloading in my receiver splattered harmonics across the band. No more Macalester for me so I'm inclined to suspect the big players just don't want to be bothered with being good neighbors on the airwaves.
Particularly in this case. At a hypothetical $2/month, Geez yes, I'd rather have it automatically updating like it is now instead of hunting down a file to manually run a MySQL DB import weekly.
Shame. I realized this was the proprietary albatross but I just assumed it would go subscription -- so folding does blindside me.

We were right! OS/2 can compete with Windows 95!
If we just hang in there, we'll overtake them yet!
I agree on the Windows support. Particularly since it made it less risky for publishers to offer LAMP texts. People learn from what's out there.
Personally, my client/server introduction was Oracle and I find PostgreSQL much more "comfortable" than MySQL.

Who'd a thunk there was anything wrong with PCBs?
Yes, "a huge challenge and opportunity". What can we do to make sure the challenge thwarts the opportunity?

10 felony counts related to selling pirated games and modding consoles."
Yeah, but will it earn him the respect of rapists and murderers who might only have four or five felony counts.
CDs being so much more expensive to produce than LPs you know.

However, they can assign a 'removal code' to uploaded images, in case they want to delete the files after a while
Riiiight. And then it will be like it never existed on the net.
Particularly in this case. At a hypothetical $2/month, Geez yes, I'd rather have it automatically updating like it is now instead of hunting down a file to manually run a MySQL DB import weekly.

So if you have stock in AMD, do you hold?
