You do realize individual states have no control over monetary policy right? So that means the only tools it has are based in fiscal policy. And your asking the state to reduce the strength of it's fiscal powers.
That be like saying oh my house is on fire. No! don't pour water on it, it will go out faster if you just let it burn.
The problem with that quote is sufficiently advanced is a relative term with respect to a technologically evolved society. For example the a working light bulb would magic for a pre-electric society, but isn't all that magical now.
There are national security laws for a reason. If Wikileaks is going to publish sensitive information that is genuinely covered by those laws — and while I haven't seen the details, if this really is military video footage it might well be — then of course the security services are going to take steps, the same way they would with anyone else. Why anyone using/working on Wikileaks thinks they are above the law, I have never understood.
How can you not understand Freedom of the Press? The constitution is above any other law.
Humans... We like to have a piece of paper in our hands, we can easily hand it to a coworker, we can scribble on it to take notes. I know it sounds oldskool, but for many tasks, a piece of paper is just superior. Sure, most of it is for temporary use, but paper isn't going anywhere. For many people reading from screen just isn't anywhere as comfortable as reading from paper. (That's why we still buy real books!)
People who bought the "paperless office" fad years ago were living in a dreamland.
Also, one thing to keep in mind. I have worked on large scale "scan documents from archives and the commit to big-ass proprietary content management systems". The conversion was extremely expensive, and the maintenance even more so. After all, you now needed expensive content manager Consultants, and competent DBAs (who have to be on call). For the paper version, you just needed one or two archivars. Just having tons and tons of paper sitting in a warehouse was was much cheaper, I heard later. These were Police documents, and they scanned in B&W... Photos were as such became unusable... I sure hope they'll keep the originals. I wonder who ever in his right mind approved that project.
Your first paragraph is dead on, with a print out I can pass a doc around the room and each person marks it up and by the time it gets back to me it's a different document, With Email I get 10 different documents.
your CMS Consultant should of got fired for scanning those in an unacceptable format though.
Well... granted that the only way for a mexican to become american is for he/she to be rich beforehand. But in all fairness, i should say that its no walk in the park to be a legal immigrant in mexico.
I'd say it's no walk in the park just staying alive in mexico these days.
Anyone who knows anything about NVIDIA's workstation parts knows they are not radical departures from their current retail chips so saying your new fancy retail part is twice as fast as the workstation version of the other guys last gen part is stating the obvious.
I agree with what you're saying but Nvidia's current GPUs are about 2 or 3 generations old. They did a die shrink but its the same as their previous generation chip. They've been re-cycling chips with new part numbers while they fix the bump problems.

Wow, This sounds like last nights voyager, except it used borg nano probes rather then magnets.

Wow.... Priceless
Because photons have no mass. Anything without mass goes at the invariant speed, because that's the only speed where it can exist.
So why can some gauge boson's be massless while others have mass?
don't you also have to be going to college to join facebook?
he (they) went on to a great career as a downsizing consultants. If you ever hear about a "meeting with the Bobs", better get your resume ready.
Pffttt...
After Meeting the bob's I got a promotion!

Twice the memory bandwidth would have made a useful platform.
This is BS, I don't see this being a good PR move, Possibly might even fall into
The sheer volume of applicants makes it infeasible for a single bureaucracy to effectively test physical hardware.
Why?
Somebody has to do the testing, What does it matter who pays their pay check?
If the Testing firm had to be a regulated by the EPA perhaps we wouldn't have to pay for all of it.
wow, did you fail macroeconomics?

Playon is more for netflix/hulu streaming, in fact when i bought it it didn't even support local media, so i was running 2 dlna servers.
But it works much better today then when i bought it. it even supports wii now days.
I'll take a look at that though(PS3MediaServer) I hadn't heard of it.
A Sales Tax is pretty much regressive by definition.
Well as long as the Elasticity of demand is less then 1. And i don't think rich people pay more for software then poor people
Playon works pretty well with my ps3

so It's magic to anyone who watches fox news
A Twitter page is now the source /. is running with?
I suppose when you put "it appears" and "apparently" you can just pass anything off as "news".
Would you trust a source more if it was on the radio?

No.
