Well... Having enlisted 1n 1984, having been involved in destruction of classified at both established bases and remote sites, I can say I've never seen it, heard of it, and would have certainly never have done it. Just my experience.
Absolutely. DNA evidence has freed many (dozens?) of people convicted of crimes they didn't commit. But can we trust the military? Are their processes governed by the same strict rules that govern civilian DNA testing? Remember, just because it was done in a lab by a contractor does not mean the same standards are adhered to.
Consider the Anthrax vaccine. Sure, different science, different subject. But while there are many questions about its safety, DoD refused to address these issues. And remember Gulf War Syndrome and Agent Orange? DoD studies dismissed these issues as well.
Given the militaries sloppy and slack and just plain corrupt handling of other high tech health issues, how can we trust that the DNA records are correct, the samples handled correctly?
This is crap (sorry, but it is). The process of distruction of Air Force classified is dictated by AFI as well as several DoD regs (DoD 5200.1-R and others), and they do not involve JP-4 (by the way, JP-4 is not used in AIr Force aircraft anymore, and has not been for 10 years). The method described above would not be used.
Thanks for the Troll mod, but you are wrong. My point is that even though most Slashers may have other opinions, some people realize that you must give to recieve. For commercial products like music, this generally means an exchange of money.
Let me ask you. Do YOU work for free? Is it all right if YOUR customers tell you that they would rather not pay you for your work? Does that concept pay YOUR rent?
Sure, mod me to troll, but it's YOUR closed mind that does it.
While for the time being, Google is THE search resource, it was not always this way. Google will fall under it's own weight and some other wizz-bang will take the lead. Remember AltaVista? Excite? HotBot? Where are they now?
They are all where Google is going fast. Who will spring for the next big search site? Some soon to be rich college kid who will eventually sell out and go play with is trophy wife and boat...
One reason you might consider being truthful except for email address is that these people provide YOU with useful content for free... Don't you think they should get something back? Or are you just a leach on society?
The problem is, Sir, things cost money to produce. Newspapers cost a hell of a lot more than 50 cents or a buck fifty or whatever. Want to ACTUALLY pay for the content you read? Try $5 or $10 per issue! Can't handle that much? Put up with the ads.
Please. Out of the many, many, many reporters at NYT, one turns out to be a jerk, and for that you say the whole thing is a pile of shit? Based on your arguments, Slashdot must be run by the Devil Herself.
And going on with that comparison, at least the NYT does not post the same story on the front page day after day after day....
Of course this is just targeted advertising all wrapped up with a bow, disguised as a new consumer tool, a technological jump! Next up: targeted phone spam, you walk by Burger King and your cell rings and offers a coupon...

Like many of products from the Borg, all these whoop-dee-doo features like project scheduling are sold to management, but in the end are really quite useless in the "real world". In all the companies I've worked for that had Exchange, exactly none of them used much more that meeting reminders...
That said, it would be nice to see a quality Open Source drop-in Exchange replacement, but only so the "suits" will buy out of Exchange.
These days, Linux admins don't really cost *that* much more than Win32 admins. It's a buyer's market labor wise, and nobody looking for a job these days is making as much as they where a few years back.
In any case, the idea that the labor cost is a significant percentage of Linux TCO may be due in part to the fact that you don't have to spend $100,000 plus for the software.

NICE link! Where can one find picks of the actual color blots?
I don't know... They *all* remind me of that Goats.cx picture. I guess I follow too many links here in /. posts, like an idiot...
For a limited time, we are giving away a custom built wedge for FREE!
At first something other than golf clubs flash by my filthy mind...
1. whois says your web address is not even registered.
2. I wonder what technology really is "mature" bofore it becomes out-of-date, these days.
But if proper procedures, chain of control, handleing is not followed, the sample is suspect.

If the process requires gluing the shreads to something, then you lose one of the duplexed sides?
Unless the glue is very transparent and the sheads are glued to clear very clear material...
Newsgroups? groups.google.com Yes, but Google does not carry the binary groups. What good is that?
corporate run prisons already are a growth industry. Think RoboCop, it's comming!

Come on now, what kind of stupid spam tool crap is this? OSDN must have pocketed a few $ on this "story".
It's not a question of Google indexing NYT, it's a matter of google cacheing NYT

Actually, free reg requires a valid email id. It thus filters most bogus registrations.
Crap. I am jizz_sucker, age 97, and my email is qwert@qwert.com. Email me and see if I respond.
Before that I was quwambi_bartok at an email made of random key strokes.

YESSSSS! There it is! It's like music! Don't like paying for CD's???? Well than just do without the music! Oooops, a mean bad anti slash concept!
But you know, you DON'T have to give a real name or email for NYT or JPost, or most of the others, they don't send you your pass and uid, you know.
It's not the spam that's the problem, if you use your head, you get no spam. It's the hassle of logging on

Right, they just don't look right stuck to a CD, what with the different diameters and such. Also, sometimes they peel up and get stuck in the player.
