us human beings are weak. we need pleasant lies, pleasant whitewashing and wallpapering over of the ugliness of reality with little pleasant ideas that simply aren't true. look at all of religion. for those of you who mock religion, i simply say that if you removed it in many people's lives, they'd just kill themselves.
Bullshit. Human beings are taught to be weak. There's no reason people can't learn about the "ugliness of reality," except that others feel they need to be "protected" from it.
Releasing shit that needed to stay secret is not reporting.
Who gets to decide "what needs to stay secret"? Because after Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, and more recently the crap with DynCorp in Afghanistan, I don't think the government's making very good decisions in the matter.
Yes, because after they're already elected, the people have so much power over them, right?
Car analogy time. Take a car into a dry lakebed, put a cinder block on the gas pedal and set the steering wheel up so the car will go in a straight line. Now, it may take a mile or two, but that car is going to start to veer in one direction or another.
Representatives are the same way. You can't just vote one into office and then disengage. You have to stay in touch with him, keep letting him know what you want him to do on particular issues, just like you have to steer a car to keep it moving in a straight line.
Overall, it sounds like you have a good plan. That said, anytime I see the word "hope" used with an IT plan, I hear "assumed risk." The students' willingness to adopt it will be a good litmus test, as will your first major network outage.
When did your students conduct that test? Because IIRC, the most recent DOD spec is 16 characters with at least two upper, two lower, two symbols and two numbers.
Heavily influenced by the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, SGU felt much more "adult" and real than any previous SG series (some of which were just downright hokey).
Actually, the original article from the World Public Opinion Foundation doesn't pull punches on anybody -- Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, etc. The problem is that the submission links to a blog post on Alternet, which leans just a little left of center... and by a little, I mean a lot.
Disclaimer: I am a journalist by trade. It's not that I think journalists are a special class, but the courts do recognize them as having protections on some circumstances that others may not. That said, I would classify the WikiLeaks folks as journalists, even if the courts may not (yet).
There were indeed. So it's less a case of "Assange is arrested, and 10 more shall take his place," and more a case of "Assange is a douchebag, and 10 more shall take his place."
Hopefully we'll end up with 10 more *Leaks sites and not 10 more douchebags.
The new site doesn't appear to have anything to do with Assange's arrest. It's more about a disagreement regarding how to handle leaked information. OpenLeaks is looking to provide information to interested parties, e.g., journalists, whereas WikiLeaks is there to disseminate the information to everyone.
Doesn't surprise me that it would take seven minutes, because while the living quarters might be small, the microgravity environment lets you use literally every square foot. On Earth, you can't use your floor and ceiling as shelves.
The difference is that you have to hold the P7000 steady for a couple of seconds in order to take the photo. A DSLR's shutter speed is adjustable so that you can set up your shot, take it and move on.
The DSLR also gives you much finer control over aperture and shutter speed. Want to freeze the motion of a hummingbird's wings? You can do that with a D40 -- just crank the shutter speed up to about 1/1,250 of a second... with a P7000, not so much.

Whatever happened to the basics of reporting - who/what/where/why/when?
Don't expect traditional journalism from a blog.
Flynn, is that you? :)

You must be new here, expecting the /. editors to, well, edit. :)
Larger, if eye size in anime is any indicator.

3) Have signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
This may be true for SCI, but to my knowledge, it's not a requirement for anything classified TS or below.

Only if, by "adult," you mean "emo."
1) Fox News makes its viewers less informed. (What headline said, which is impossible.)
Clearly you've never watched Glenn Beck.

What you are suggesting is illegal in the US under the DMCA and may be illegal in other jurisdictions.
Which has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not it's wrong. (Hint: It isn't.)

Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 ... both of which are, ironically, EA games.
Firsthand? No, but I know how to use the Internet: WikiLeaks spokesman quits, blasts founder ... as paranoid control freak.

What controversy is there for anyone in the least bit educated?
Ah, yes, well, there's the kicker. Uneducated people tend to outnumber the educated ones.

No apostrophe in Pikes Peak. It's a common mistake, because you'd think, "It should have an apostrophe in it." But for whatever reason, it doesn't.
Look at the terrorist plots that have been foiled since Sept. 11.
Who foiled the shoe bomber? Passengers. Who foiled the underwear bomber? Passengers.
The TSA is meaningless; what we need, and for the moment have, are other people flying on planes who are willing to prevent another Sept. 11.
Ironically, illegitimate copies of Acrobat Pro are probably not affected.
