I don't believe the US is willing to share ownership and legal power over something as powerful as the Internet. Given, not all of it lies within the US but it was created in the US and the majority of it does reside in this country. The UN can rule over it when they take it and the Constitution from our cold dead hands. Don't give the UN special treatment. The UN isn't needed. It's only been in existence for 50 years or so and it hasn't made THAT much difference. I wouldn't mind if it dissolved into nothingness much like Saddam's power.
How many have been put into place to be used later on to control things that you never thought would be controlled and if you don't obey them once they have full control they will either kill you or arrest you?
Since the UN came into existence we have had more wars than in any other period of the same length in history. They may be capable of disaster relief but they are also capable of causing problems.
Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of MS but the following is my experience. The basic LDAP authentication and structure is there in ADS as Linux machines can authenticate to it(among other things). MS added new attributes to it because they needed support for items such as SIDs that are Windows specific. There are OIDs for SIDs and other attributes that MS added so it's not like they just slapped them in there and went with it. Because ADS still acts like LDAP it is possible for a distro to tie into the structure and I wouldn't expect too hard of a time doing so. I can't speak for kerberos because that is so transparent I don't deal with it directly enough to know how it operates.
(An example: a friend recently made a copy of the Secret Machines album for me. I bought a copy for my brother, and then a copy for myself. How is this bad for the artist?)
It isn't that it is bad, it is that it isn't guaranteed to always happen which is what the RIAA does not like. They can't be guaranteed that you will not just keep getting copied songs and they can't be guaranteed that you will actually buy stuff because of it. THey thrive on having that guarantee.
Only because they brag about innovation. It's good they add it but we don't want to hear them say they innovated it for their customers because they haven't.
Keywords Congress shall make no law. People forget that. Whatever Congress does w/o making a law for it is perfectly fine so praying or saying it is okay to be a Christian is legal.
The difference here is that you willingly give your personal information to your creditors because you trust them. The employees of SAIC did not give their personal information to the criminals and of course they can't trust the criminals to not use the information for the wrong purpose so people have a right to be worried in this case because you don't know who has your data and you can bet that if they knew what machines to steal they knew what was on them and are going to use that data if they can.
I agree, the answer isn't just to simply change database vendors because it isn't that easy. But what people can do is rally with each other and just refuse to pay the extra licensing fees and continue paying what they have been. Maybe then Oracle will get the idea.
I agree with the bathroom comment. Using RFID is the same as having a teacher or guard watch people go in and out of the bathroom all day. Using an automatic method is no different and it doesn't say what they are doing in the bathroom.
I was waiting for a comment similar to this. When you believe in evolution then life can show up anywhere, even under a rock, which is where you must have came from. I on the other hand came from descendants of mankind who were created by the same creator who made the awesomely complex yet functional universe and the planet we live on. When you look at the universe around you don't think we exist *because* of the environment but think that it exists *for* us (e.g. big planets on outer edges of solar system protect us from asteroids because of their gravity).
that you actually train yourself to put your cell phone down in the same spot after you are done talking so you don't have to go searching it the next time it rings. Do unwired phones just screw with your life to no end?
Also, while I'm not an expert on espionage, I suspect that most agencies try to avoid writing the names of all their spies on one piece of paper. That would seem to me to be a basic.
An email joke I received from a coworker last week...
Last week I purchased a cheeseburger for $2.58. The counter girl took my $3 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register with her mouth open.
I sensed her discomfort and suggested to her to just give me two quarters, but she was compelled to hail the manager for help. When he tried to explain the nuances of the transaction to her, she stood there and began to cry.
Why do I tell you this? So I can rant about the importance of understanding basic math and the flawed way it is now being taught.
Here is the "History of Teaching Math" over the last 50 or so years:
Teaching Math In 1950
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80. Did he make a profit?
Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80 and his profit is 20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20
and put a $ sign to the left (front) of it.
Teaching Math In 1990
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20 of
capitalistic profit. What do you think of this way of making a
living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question:
How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut
down their trees. (There are no wrong answers.)
Teaching Math In 2005
El hachero vende un camion carga por $100. La cuesta de
production es.............
And we wonder why jobs requiring basic intelligence are being
outsourced to other countries?
And my own addition...Teaching Math In 2008 Today class we are going to take a break from Math and learn a little about why Johnny spends so much time with Bobby in Johnny's bedroom, why they don't ever want girls around, and why that is perfectly okay because we are all allowed to be different.
What encompasses "membership in a protected class" or "exercised a protected right" may be different from state-to-state -- for example, in California, "sexual preference" is a state protected class, but is not a protected class at the federal level, and not in most states.
That's because California supports homosexuals so much that to a Californian people are born homosexual and it's going to be their state motto pretty soon : We're gay and we bend over for anyone.
So the fact that millions of Iraqis are more free than they were, the fact that they aren't under the rule of a greedy dictator, the fact that there are a few less terrorists out roaming God knows where, doesn't count as human advancement? The 1-2billion MAY buy advancement but nothing immediate. The 80 billion spent on Iraq has immediate benefit to us (the U.S.) and the Iraqis. A lot more human advancement could be made if the money spent on NASA was directed toward education and health care. If you think you can get more benefit out of sending that money to space than by keeping down here then by all means share your thoughts.
If that is how you believe science operates, you clearly don't know the first thing about science or scientists. I bet you get all your "science" from the National Enquirer and the Discovery Channel.
I don't read the national enquirer and I don't watch discovery channel for learning about science so bet again.
Oh, really. And when, and by whom, was this demonstrated exactly? Oh I see - you made it up.
It's called my opinion. Suck it up and get over it.
We do know that whatever is in our brain is not the same thing in metal or silicon and therefore human beings can question their own existence but robots can not. You do not have to narrow it down to something within the brain because the simple fact is that robots do not have the same brain we do and therefore whatever we have they do not have. You sound like the perfect scientist: until it is proven false it must be true. I bet you believe in aliens too just because we haven't found proof that they *don't* exist.
Cognitive awareness is not taught and learned and something that is not living will never have cognitive awareness. There are even some living creatures that do not have high-level cognitive awareness but all humans have it whether you care to admit it or not. Just because we don't know what gives it to us doesn't mean we can't determine who does and does not have it (limited to a subset of living creatures). A person can not instill CA into a robot and if the robot doesn't already have it (and it wouldn't) then it never will.
I am a Belgian citizen, studying in the US... so I guess I can reply to both angles of your post. It is true that Belgian has a large, mostly northern African, immigrant population.
If you are Belgian then you should at least be able to spell your own country name.
Just like it's up to the company to determine the size of the bonus this is the same thing on a larger scale and it makes sense that the reward is larger considering the employees would have to make themselves stand out more from the crowd in order to get the reward. I'm sure they are perfectly capable of looking ahead and making sure they don't out free money too quickly and/or too often.

Eminem and other rap in the morning.
Pop music later into the afternoon.
You obviously live alone.
Could they be any uglier?

When will the "bashing Microsoft makes me feel good" trend end?
When it stops feeling good.....never.

"Pfizer and Microsoft have a hard time dealing with Viagra spammers." Maybe MS and Pfizer accidentally poppped some of the advertised products.

I could be wrong but I don't think Mercury or Pluto have atmospheres, neither does our moon but that's a moon. What do you consider an atmosphere?

That comment was actually referring to memory, not storage, but it's still funny.
