I am strongly for the advance of secularism, however part of that core is that people are allowed to choose. Thus, this kind of 'secularism' is incompatible with that.
In 1989, Apple disposed of approximately 2,700 unsold Lisas in a guarded landfill in Logan, Utah, in order to receive a tax write-off on the unsold inventory.
Isnt this the part where the conservatives should be screaming about changing American traditions, selling us out to the European bureautacracy? And so on? Why shouldn't our antiquated system of patents be defended as viciously as our antiquated system of marriage?
I can imagine that those people in Ireland who were starving to death from the blight would have fallen all over themselves to get a hold of potatoes that were resistant.
This is the rather amusing assertion of 'if i haven't seen it it cant be really real. At issue is if you follow the same procedures you get the same results. Those procedures exist. If you can't, don't, won't do them that does not make them false, fiction, fantasy or faith.
Faith is believe without proof, not lack of belief because of lack of personal experience.
Oh indeed exploits are always an issue. However, at least in the place I work, anyone who wants admin is give it, with the most flimsy of reasons to the most incompetent people. So I just sit and wait for the train wreck.
Heres a hint, don't let the user be admins. Then they can't brake out of their account.....
and yes users are stupid. I had one guy who got a mail from USPS, about his Fedex tracking number on his expressmail delivery. He downloaded and opened and ran a zip file. When I asked him if he was expecting a delivery he said 'I dont know'.
Actually I think you are being over specific. These people cede their "free will" to whom they deem to be most powerful. That may be a talking head, a god, a politician, a rich person. I believe it comes from a lack of cynicism.
I describe Farscape as "Epic" in the proper sense. Its really quite as fantastic as the old Greek epics. Death, betrayal, strange places and monsters. Heroic deeds, sacrifice coming home, leaving again, love, loss. It really had everything.
If you ignore season 9 and 10, and stargate infinity, and all the escort mission episodes of atlantis,, and that they bascially stopped going off world.
The thing about timebombs is that you may not really have part in it. Anytime someone demands what would be a bad decision get implemented, a timebomb is created. You can warn people all you want. Its screaming down a well. If something happens to said bad decision in some time period after you leave, you are blamed. The fact that the empty desk that wasn't back-filled didn't take over the minor task you were doing in order to keep BadIdea(tm) running, still becomes your fault.
Considering that companies seem to have difficulty of dealing with the code publication surrounding the Linux they use in their products, it has always befuddled me as to why they didn't 'just use' BSD instead.
The merger with Activision befuddled me. Blizzard was on top of the video game world, it didn't seem like they needed anyone else. It just reeks of a top level buyout cashgrab
The really frightening (and continuing) trend is for LEOs to seemingly look for ways to skip doing the work before hand, and swoop in and defend questionable search and seizures on people they claim to know are 'guilty'.
While somewhat off topic, it seems to go back to the Bush era warrantless wiretapping and the FISA court. The DoJ would wiretap anyone they wanted without a warrant beforehand, under the cover of clear and present danger (or some such) and then apply later for the warrant. Now think about this a moment, a situation was deemed *so* immanently dangerous they didn't have time to do the paperwork... and then even *afterwards* the DoJ claimed they didn't have the manpower to file it afterwards. Thats right.. the govt didn't have enough people to push paper.
But back to the point.. if you think someone in custody has evidence on the phone.. seize the phone and file the paperwork. Ya know what happens if it turns out you didn't need it? You're covered anyway.
So Sony promised us that when production ramps up prices on CDs would drop. Since this really didn't happen, now that production is ramping down will prices go down?
I'm going to ask you to look up the word censorship again. While they may choose to sell what they want. They can in fact censor things from their channel. Just because its not a government doing it does not make its not censorship.
No, I have to disagree. The apex is really one of the things we learned from Wikileaks. The big media companies are misusing the diplomatic weight of the american people to try to force other countries (Spain), to accept the corporate written copyright laws. And at the same time, the govt is hiding this from the citizens it claims to be doing diplomacy on their behalf.

In 1987, Sun Remarketing purchased about 5,000 Macintosh XLs and upgraded them. Some leftover Lisa computers and spare parts are still available today.
In 1989, Apple disposed of approximately 2,700 unsold Lisas in a guarded landfill in Logan, Utah, in order to receive a tax write-off on the unsold inventory.
"Her scene in "Big Momma's House 2" and "Tropic Thunder" was deleted."
Sound like its way to late for her to worry about her career being over.
Credibility will never be the same.
Its just a theory. I advocate intelligent shoving ;)

It seems to me that if you cant get competent employees who can keep your IT infrastructure safe at a utility you are a moron.

"No refusal" car searches? They'll have a judge on site to issue the OK for an otherwise unconstitutional search of your car?
