if you subscribe to the Bush doctrine on torture (as McCain now does), then McCain himself was never "tortured" at the Hanoi Hilton and the anti-American statements he made to his captors are, in fact, truthful and accurate intelligence.
"If I was the person they were looking for, would I be quite so stupid as to travel under my real name with genuine IDs in my name?"
Criminals have been known to return to the scene of a crime to fetch their dropped wallet, write "This is a bank robbery, give me all of your money" on the backs of their own bills, checks, etc... They have even been known to withdraw money from their own bank account before robbing said bank. Some criminals are stupid enough to call the police for other reasons and don't understand that the cops will identify and arrest them once they show up.
Criminals are largely stupid. Most people realize that the amount of effort and planning it takes to be a successful criminal can be used to legitimately make money with far less risk.
McDonald's uses that very same system to allow you to pay for your meals in the drive through. Just make sure you clone someone who is insanely rich and you might not ever have to pay for another McDonald's meal again.
Well, eventually you'll pay with your life, but that's a different matter altogether.
Seriously. The bizarre thing is that this is a small police department. They would rather have someone manually move the data rather than go through the hassle of going after the vendor or paying them.
I have already told them they should notify the State AG. But these people are technologically challenged and don't want to advertise their ignorance. It's all about maintaining appearances.
It takes a lot of balls to do something like this to the government, especially to the police.
The name of the software is COPERS(pronounced coppers). I kid you not.
I've recently come across a situation where my client's data is being held hostage by their application vendor. The vendor decided to encrypt the data during one of their 'upgrades' and now that the client wants to move to another application, the vendor won't decrypt the data without being paid a huge fee. They probably used something easy like an XOR cipher but I don't have the time to research how to figure this out. Are there any tools out there that I can use to give a sample of the encrypted data and the decrypted data, figure out the method used and then decrypt all the data?
I'd love to stick it to the application vendor. What a dick move.
A good business analyst is worth their weight in gold in a large project. Determining what the relevant requirements are, in a form that both the user community and the programming staff understand is the most important piece of a software project as far as I'm concerned. I've only had a little over 20 years experience but this seems to be the deciding factor for all the projects I've participated in. Not only that but when the BA makes the users sign off on the requirements, you have a reference to go back to when the users try to claim that something wasn't coded the way they wanted it. It sounds petty but it's amazing how often users will try to add features to a project by claiming something was forgotten or coded incorrectly.
Also heavy use of environmental variables makes maintenance and code migration so easy that it's something you don't even think about... until you don't have it anymore. I started in shops where environmental variables were *always* used and didn't realize how great it was until I went to another shop that recoded everything that went into prod and the drop in productivity is astounding. I never had a failed implementation until I went to a sloppy shop.
Document in the code. Always. Even if you have robust documentation, document in the code. I have praised and cursed many programmers whose code I ad to support based mainly on this criteria.
How's this for a conspiracy theory. We are deliberately using up Middle eastern oil while at the same time deliberately destabilizing the region. We do this for several reasons. One is so we can get much of the money we spend on oil back in the form of arms sales. Another is so the Middle eastern countries will have nothing to show for their oil riches once the wells dry up. We don't want them investing their money on education and technology so they can become real trade competitors when the oil runs out.
It's just a conspiracy theory but it's mine and I like to play with it on occasion.
That's not the only problem with mainstream media. They're lazy and they have an addiction to live video feeds. About a week ago I was watching CNN and President Clinton was on, explaining in layman's terms how Bush's economic policies have hurt America. In the middle of his explanation CNN cuts away to show a live feed of some ridiculous BS. I couldn't believe it. Here was a former president providing some valuable information in a form that was easier to understand and they just blew him off for crap that was absurd.
Another problem is the severe lack of investigative questioning. They don't ever seem to want to delve into an issue and figure out *why* something is happening. For example, in recent news feeds about violence erupting in Tibet there is no mention of why violence is erupting. Who are the players? What are the issues? They show a video of a guy in Tiber riding his bike, a couple of guys pull him off the bike and start beating the crap out of him and there is no explanation. Why? Because they don't know and they don't care. They've got video and that's all that matters.
Another problem is the lack of fact checking. These politicians and their agents can say all sorts of misleading or incorrect statements and they aren't called on it by the reporters. I don't know if it's because the reporters and pundits are too dumb, too scared or too enamored with politicians. When it comes to reporting on anything outside of crime, war and politics? Forget it. Reporters are too lazy and ignorant to care about much else. And if they do, they're likely to get the facts dead wrong.
War almost broke out in South America a few weeks ago and there wasn't a peep about it in the mainstream media. I guess they didn't have any video ready.
At what age does a human/zygote make the cut so that it is no longer available for scientific research? Two months? Six months? Birth? Five years? When they are potty trained? What classifies a human as a human deserving human rights? What test must be passed before that clump of cells is human? Who are you to decide? What if the government decided the age of liberty was your age +1? How would that make you feel?
This is an appeal to emotion. Which happens to be a logical fallacy when it comes to argumentation.
It seems to me that sentience should be the test. At some point in the not too distant future we will create sentient beings that are machine based. This is inevitable. They will have no DNA at all. Using the typical arguments that you seem to embrace, such being should not be afforded the same human rights that you and I have even though they may be thousands of times more intelligent than we are.
Perhaps we should be asking ourselves, what makes us human? I don't think relying on a purely biological answer is very wise or useful.
One thing people seem to misunderstand is that it doesn't matter if a law was technically broken or if Cheney or Bush were under oath or not. The Constitution gives the power to impeach to congress in order to remove executives who abuse their power.
"The words "high crimes and misdemeanors" cannot be confined to crimes created and defined by a statute of the United States. (emphasis added)
"In fact, Justice Story believed that any such interpretation was preposterous:
"What are to be deemed "high crimes and misdemeanors"?... No one has as yet been bold enough to assert that the power of impeachment is limited to offenses positively defined in the statute book of the Union as impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors.
"Story then emphatically punctuated his conclusions by summarizing the history of impeachments:
"Congress has unhesitatingly adopted the conclusion that no previous statute is necessary to authorize an impeachment for any official misconduct.... In the few cases of impeachment which have hitherto been tried, not one of the charges has rested upon any statutable misdemeanors." (emphasis added)
"Indeed, the history of every impeachment case brought before Congress to that point proved the correctness of Justice Story's conclusion. For example, in 1797, William Blount was impeached for seeking to violate American neutrality 16 (as explained by justice Story, "The offense charged was not defined by any statute of the United States. It was for an attempt to seduce an United States' Indian interpreter from his duty and to alienate the affections and confidence of the Indians from the public officers residing among them." 17); in 1803, federal judge John Pickering was impeached for issuing an order which contradicted an act of Congress, for Judicial high-handedness, and for drunkenness and blasphemy; "in 1804, Supreme Court justice Samuel Chase was impeached for judicial high-handedness and for excluding evidence from a trial; " and in 1830, federal judge James H. Peck was also impeached for judicial hi -handedness.' (Ibid. pp. 22-23)
Impeachment is not done often enough, in my opinion. The president and vice president should not think for a minute that they can screw people over, cause thousands of deaths and not be held accountable because they may not have technically broken a law. That's simply ridiculous and gives far too much power to those who would abuse it.
Mismanagement is enough. Brazen war mongering, profiteering and trampling of the rights of citizens should result in swift and unanimous impeachment and removal every time a president tries it.
The main problem is that republicans refuse to believe *ANY* facts that contradict their beliefs. It's only after years, thousands of deaths and billions of dollars that some republicans reluctantly accept the fact that the Iraq war was a bad idea.
The claim that the issue is unsettled is ridiculous. In serious scientific circles(real scientists who are respected and are not shills) it is clear that global warming is happening and we are contributing to it. Further, it is NOT the job of the Surgeon General to misrepresent facts or lie to the public based on the president's personal beliefs or policy positions. Such an idea is quite anti-American and un-patriotic.
People have anal sex because they like it. Keep in mind that your mouth, which has incredible amounts of bacteria in it, is also often used for sex. It's not "made for" sex either but people have oral sex all the time too. Further, many people(you might be one of them) make the same argument against oral sex that you make about anal sex. Tell you what, have sex with just one person for about 15 years, come back and then tell us that anal still isn't something you'd try. Eventually you'll want to do something different and "wild".
Also, anal sex is not "stinky" if you do it right. Although some people actually like it stinky and dirty. But those people tend to be republican.

Why one of you math geeks figure out how much energy that would produce per day.
Obviously you are a bit naive about the way state departments speak to each other. For example, IF country A wants to invade country B but is afraid of the actions Country C might take they don't say, "Hey is it ok if I invade country B?". They make inquiries like, "Do you currently have any defense treaties with country B? You know we have serious issues with country B". Even a low level diplomat knows what this kind of inquiry means. Now Country C needs to figure out how to respond to Country A. If they don't want country B to be invaded and don't feel like having to fight country A back, they will simply tell country A that they will defend country B. Now if they don't care or want the invasion to happen for whatever reason they will give an ambiguous answer. I don't know of any country that has ever said, "Yeah go for it". It is always couched in ambiguous language that can give a country plausible deniability.
"We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts," the transcript reports Glaspie saying, "such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary [of State James] Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction... that Kuwait is not associated with America."
That, my friend, is a green light in diplomatic circles, where what you don't say is often more important than what you actually say.
Let's impeach them both and let Nancy Pelosi be president until Jan 2009. She can stop the bleeding while we work on getting a new president in to clean up the mess.
Every president before him tried diplomacy, and every president before him was summarily ignored. While it's not our job to be the world police I think it would be far more regrettable in the long run to stand by and do nothing. I think the war could have been better executed, but to some extent we have been hindered by the lack of support from the international community.
This war was never about getting rid of a Tyrant. He was our guy until he over reached and the Saudis, our allies who supply oil and terrorists, freaked out over the invasion of Kuwait and insisted we do something about him.
Assuming that you can determine when the quantum waveform collapses
This is the faulty assumption.
Think of of entanglement this way. You have two roulette wheels and they are "entangled". What this means to the roulette wheels is that they are spinning and the marbles are bouncing along inside them synchronously(I know they'd be at right angles but being the same value works well for the visualization). So you split them up and one roulette wheel is in another galaxy and the other is here. Both are spinning and the marbles are still bouncing around in sync. If you stop one, the other keeps going. If you stop them at the same time the marbles will have the same value. But the problem is the one you assume away. You cannot tell that the other roulette wheel has stopped.
In QE, if you attempt to observe the entanglement, you make it collapse. You can't tell what the state of the particle is without destroying the entanglement.
IINAQP and I could be wrong. But this is my understanding and my cousin who is a Physicist tells me I have an accurate, if rudimentary, understanding of this particular phenomenon.
The politicians are elected by the people. If the politicians do something wrong, it is the fault of the people who voted for them. Stop passing the buck.
If I hire someone to paint my house and he rapes my neighbor's daughter while on the job, her rape is not my fault. It's the fault of the rapist.
My kids are 10 and 12 and I started played Q3A with them when they were little. I'd apply new models and skins for them to use and we'd set up homer vs Bart games or other such silliness. My kids are not violent. In fact I often get compliments about their caring natures. They both have a lot of empathy for others and for animals. They are very kind people... until you get into an arena with them. Then they turn it on and kick you ass. It didn't take very long for them to figure out they could gang up on me and kick my ass all over the place.
These days they Mostly play Halo2 together though they've mastered pretty much all of the FPS games on PC and Xbox. They're a great team and I feel sorry for any guy my daughter dates if he thinks he'll beat her in a FPS game. She's been playing them since she was 5. It's funny to see a girly girl who likes hello kitty kick the shit out of "young studs" online. Often they think that's someone else is playing and putting her voice on.
So now instead of yelling at my kids for leaving the fridge door open I'll have to get them to leave it open every now and then in order to keep the electricity bill down.
I could really dig have a lower electricty bill in the summer rather than a higher one. When can I build a house with this stuff?
I spend more time with my underwear than I do with my SO and she doesn't seem to mind it. It has the added benefit of keeping my dangly bits from rubbing all over the inside of my pants.

What we were looking for specifically being nuclear WMDs weren't there, but there were still chemical (sarin) WMDs that he should not have had.
Keep in mind that we helped him get the chemical weapons in the first place and then provided intelligence to him when he tested his chemical weapons on the Kurds. Also keep in mind that these weapons have a short shelf life. The stuff we finally found had already degraded into useless bombs.
Every president before him tried diplomacy, and every president before him was summarily ignored.

This isn't entirely true. We helped keep Saddam in power. The Reagan administration helped Saddam with WMD and intelligence. Not only that but we lied about our intelligence in the lead up to war. It's interesting that the very reasons Bush Sr. gave for not marching into Baghdad have come to pass.
This war was never about getting rid of a Tyrant. He was our guy until he over reached and the Saudis, our allies who supply oil and terrorists, freaked out over the invasion of Kuwait and insisted we do something about him.
Hell, we even gave Saddam the green light to invade Kuwait. So why should the international community help us clean up a mess of our own making?
