For that matter, what the fuck is an Ubuntu? If you want to market to the west, use a western name. Consider "Linux Desktop Edition" or LDE. Everyone would immediatly know what it was, and it would make sense. The brand could develop. Ubuntu has no intrinsic meaning and no western root to derive what it is, whereas Windows has western connotations.
Perhaps so, but it makes it harder for terrorists to congregate, and those avoidance measures can, of course, be tracked. It gives valuable data points in watching and tracking terrorist organizations. Also, I believe you have Godwin'd your argument. If you believe every government is highly corrupt, and it seems you do, I recommend you look here: http://www.imf.org/external/Pubs/FT/staffp/1998/12 -98/pdf/tanzi.pdf. There was, remarkably, nearly no perception of corruption in Denmark in 1998. Coincidentally, 'Scandinavianize' is a verb occasionally used by political scientists to mean 'to become an ideal democracy.' It seems, then, that government is not necessarily out to get you.
I'm not just referring to one event. America has cracked down hard on terror financing and radical Islamic groups. Fear of extreme measures by the government has helped. Britain is the new front because it is where radical groups congregate - extreme mosques in London. Before 9/11, many congregated at certain mosques, and we now see Britain's Islamic radical element beginning to fight back against losses the government's efforts to crack down. Many such examples of Britain-based terror exist.
I believe these events and circumstances represent the shift in the Islamic radical attack on the west to Britain. Britain still has a more open climate than many other states, and Islamic radical groups have festered. Britain is now removing these groups and structures. Islamic radicals fought back, and that is my interpretation of July. This is an attempt to track, inhibit, and intimidate these groups, and push them out of Britain.
Britan has long had the world's largest CCTV surveillance system. It has failed to prevent crime, though helped catch criminals. This will likely be the same way. My intuition is to say the costs, including to civil liberties, will outweigh the benefits, but considering that Britain is on the new front lines of Islamic Extremism, this may be worth it. Tracking associations is key in fighting organized crime, such as terrorism.
Remember, the CEOs of tech companies failed to constrain costs in the late 1990s, and we know what happened to them. Be very careful in spending. Consider whether this port is absolutly necesssary.
Fingerprints are now part of our total security strategy and a first-line screening technique for inprocessing of mass police events. When groups are processed after WTO rallies and other such large police events, processing uses fingerprint ID. Imagine a case in which 500 were arrested and all could be terror suspects, and the terrorist, who would have been ID'd, got away because of a fingerprint error. Fingerprints are used by banks to cash out-of-state checks. It's time to verify fingerprints and begin associating them with a biometric less modifiable, such as retinal ID. Of course, concerns about the coercivity of this approach are justified, but the security benefit outweighs. If we're going to use biometrics, let's use effective ones. Of course, the merits of mass arrest are questionable, but if we are going to do it, let's do it right.
It'll probably take more than 2.4 million new jobs, $400 billion in government spending and $67 billion in from tax revenues to cut the current global software piracy rate of 35% by 10%. Consider costs involved in prison and oversight of the millions of copyright violators, ignoring the burden of catching violators.
In short, the international (read: US-Dominated) world standards group (IEEE) refused to support Intel's standard. Europe's standards group passed Intel's standard.
"E. Interpersonal Interactions - Each member of the MUSoD community is obligated to conduct interactions with each other, with patients and with others in a manner that promotes understanding and trust. Actions, which in any way discriminate against or favor any group or are harassing in nature, are condemned. Respect for the diverse members of the MUSoD student body, administrators, faculty, staff and patient base is expected."
Wait, what the fuck?
"Actions, which in any way discriminate against or favor any group or are harassing in nature, are condemned."
So, saying stupid people are stupid is a condemned action? If I was in a terrible class, I couldn't say half the class couldn't find their asses with a flashlight? You know what? MUSoD administrators are stupid and I demean them with this comment. Objectivity is a good thing.
We're crating positivity gestapos. This is not the ideal solution to student concerns.
They should note that it was in the Times, not just the online edition. Some stories do only make the online edition, this one was published. It makes a difference, and should be noted. But hey, it's/., so we should just be happy its not a dupe, eh?
We are just like you. We live in the same world, and have similar concerns. We want human rights just as much as you do. Not only that, a loss of goodwill can result from poor business practices. China has an emerging market we want access to, but we see better returns from a free market with free organization, thus leading to human rights concerns.
The world population is at what, 6 billion and some change? When the previous outbreaks occured, world population was much smaller. This has significant epidemiological implications. The First and Third Worlds are now significantly more densely populated. IIRC, the First World, which suffered heavy casualties during the previous epidemics, was already densely populated and the bulk of casualties were in densely populated areas.
Now consider the dense population of the Third World. This is a recent phenomenon - see India's rapid growth (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/Organizations/healthn et/SAsia/suchana/1028/C02_328.htm). Consider the public health infrastructures in India and the US. An outbreak of a highly contagious, highly lethal flu in a newly dense Third World would would wreak devistation on a scale the world has never seen. It would travel quickly and the infrastructure would not be able to respond. Mobility increases -- airports etc. -- would spread such a flu over the earth rapidly.
No, it's true everywhere, including here. There's a perception among freshmen even at Brown that when we get out it'll be quite hard to find well-paying work.

This may be using an atomic bomb to illuminate a room, but the problem does exist. More ideal solutions are nearly certainly possible.

Sensitive data should not be in plain view. Camera phones, then, are not a problem.
