If anyone file an FOIA request for some document, the authority has to comply... except when the information released can lead to national security, or do harm to someone's life (like name of spy, or something)
That is why the authority retains the right to redact the documents they release
If W.V. decides to NOT release anything on the ground of it's "embarrassing" (or even as the GP has stated, "incriminating"), then they (the W.V. government) is in direct violation of the FOIA act.
From the banking scandals it should be clear to anyone with half a mind that Washington wants you to stop being a little thief and start being a very big one
You gotta understand the rationale behind this...
If you are a little thief your loot is too little for them to take a big bite
But if you are a humongous thief you'd have more than enough left for them to take some bites
While it might be the alcohol that had helped jump start the human society, in places around the world alcohol is being banned
If this anti-alcohol trend is to continue, we might even seen a reverse course of human civilization... from individualistic behavior back to the herd-like behavior
and I live outside of America because my business is outside of the United States
And you know what ?
For the past decades I've been contacted by "someone" asking me for my "cooperation" so that they can use my company as a cover up to spy on the countries that my business has located branches and local contacts
When I told them that I do not want my company to be involved in some espionage activities "they" remind me of my "duty" to my country, that I should be "patriotic", that I should aid them in "defeating the enemies"
Of course, I can't tell you where my business branches are located - or they will know who I am
Just want you guys to know what is going on in the real world
The S4 will be a rectangular OLED device that allows you to waste some time between re-charge, due to the 2600mAh battery which runs dry fairly quickly
As all these happened in the United States of America, why don't we go back all the way to the beginning of the United States of America - to what the founding fathers had in mind for their new country
What was the one thing that irritated the founding fathers the most ?
An abusive government
It was precisely because of the abuses from the Brits that the American colonialists just couldn't stand it no more and decided to take up arms and revolt
There are over 200 countries in this world, and the United States of America is one of the handful of countries where not only popular revolution was the spark that had created the country, but also that the founding fathers was thoughtful enough to write down their wish and blessings for the new country that they had formed, and their wish was also expressed in the Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights
The current form of the American government is exactly the form of government that the founding fathers would fight vehemently against
As an American who isn't staying inside America, I am sad to say that most of my fellow Americans have no idea what America is all about
How many of my fellow American understand the duty of being an American citizen?
Convinced she knew nothing that could be used against Swartz, Norton at first cooperated with the prosecutors.
When I read the line above I already knew the story
This "Quinn Norton" calls herself a "journalist", a person whose job supposedly provide her the insight that people can pick up clues from what you said, no matter how you say it, or how much you have disclosed, and also from what you didn't say
Equipped with that knowledge, she was still convinced that she knew nothing that could be used against her lover, Mr. Swartz?
Oh, c'mon, don't give us that !!!
She has screwed up, she knew it. Now what "Quinn Norton" is trying desperately to do is to "clear her name", and she is trying to push all the blames on to the prosecutors.
I am not saying that the prosecutors are not responsible for what happened to Mr. Swartz, they do. But Ms. Norton herself ought to be brave enough to admit that because of her own fucked up cocky attitude that led her to think that she could outsmart the prosecutors (and that she talked)
Ms. Quinn Norton is a contributor, whether she likes it or not, to Mr. Swartz's ultimate tragic demise
All talks of "manned flight to Mars" centered around getting living human beings into a little confined spaced for hundreds of days
Even if every single thing works out - no one die on route, no accident, no nothing - it would still be an extremely cramped up place for human beings, and the psychological trauma of cooped up inside a holding cell for hundreds of days isn't something easy to deal with
Before the auditor report came out, did Cisco volunteer to do whatever it wants to do now?
If Cisco did, I'll applaud Cisco for doing the right thing
If Cisco didn't do nothing, and pretended that nothing wrong had ever been done in this $20K per router for library deal, before the auditor report became public, hey, Cisco wasn't such a nice guy afterall !!
It could be that Musk already got that guy under employment, but the very best guy in this world still fall short of getting this problem licked, once and for all

My children learned to communicate by listening and watching, but if I didn't correct their errors their communication skills (listening and speaking) would be at a lower level today than they are
Your effort in correcting your children's errors is a process whereby you, a person, share your experience with your children, by showing them the right way to use the word (pronounce it, grammar, et cetera), and on the other side of the coin, your children pick up on what you have shared with them and they learn
In other words, what you did wasn't "education", but mere sharing of experiences
Going back to what I said on the original comment, if there is no learning, or if there is nothing new to be learned , no matter how much emphasis one puts on "education", it will ultimately be an exercise in futility
That is why we must focus on the "learning" part of the equation, not the teaching part
This world puts so much emphasis on "education", so much so that most have forgotten about what makes the whole thing works - the LEARNING part
There are times I cringe when "educate" is used as a substitute to "learning"
Did someone educate you on how to walk on your two feet, or did you do that by your own, learning through trials and errors?
Did someone educate you on how to speak whatever language that you are using, or did you somehow learn it by listening to the sound made by the adults?
It's mindboggling nowadays when people forget the most basic thing that makes each and every one of us who we are - that we are "learning machine", that "education" in itself a flawed concept
You do not educate students - you share with whoever you want to "teach" what you know, show them (if it's possible) the process, and they pick up on that, just like they pick up, by themselves, how to walk, how to talk, et cetera

Attack from a different direction. They'll probably shoot that down too, but play the game. Attack, attack, attack until something works.
Back in the 1960's and 1970's, that strategy worked.
Now?
With almost all the seats inside the system being occupied by people who are leaning towards the BIG BROTHER I am afraid the regular old-style "attacks" will become less and less effective

Please correct me if I am wrong ...

Which is exactly why its not a cron replacement.
Would "Cron on Steroid" satisfy you?
Whether or not that asshole got sacked, or how he got sacked, isn't important

Nokia won't be around, after all the patents/engineers will be at MS by then.
Nokia's patents may end up in M$'s pocket, but not the engineers
Most of the Nokia engineers I know are self-starters, and most of them can't stand Ballmer's manner

What if one of the occupants die in route ?
What then ?
Is there any "escape plan" built in ?
How to deal with the rotting corpse ?

Methinks Virginia should sue Cisco for FRAUD

What is Cisco taking the citizens of Virginia for? Suckers??

I hope that's a typo
But anyhoo, the first thing I touch when I'm awake is my wife, the wife that I love so much
She's also the last thing I touch, before I go to sleep
