I wonder if the government of that time thought themselves more in control or more able to control/manage what was going on at the time. But, in not being British, I can't tell what they were really thinking.
But, one thing is for certain: the technology wasn't there to do the scope of tracking they are now implementing.
...it supports a sense of independance and self-determinism...
Exactly!
But, you understand that are are still "left-leaning"? You don't have to answer that, in so much as I'm more interested in what time of history you look back to and why 'looking back' would make anyone conservative. Especially after you succinctly described what is largely at the heart of (American) Consevatism.
He seems to be calling him on context, whether correctly discerned or not.
I personally think mentioning of a wall in the United States has nothing to do with the intrusion of privacy that is at the heart of the British matter. Not being able to travel is but a symptom of that problem.
I wonder if they'll not find these steps insufficient and then push for individual tracking. And, that if their people will not submit to individual tracking, then they cannot do something else, like buy or sell anything. Sound familiar? Does this sound more plausible in light of these British plans? (I don't mean to challenge you but to ask a retorical question.)
Also, I wonder if terrorism is what has fueled this dangerous direction they have taken.
It's not so much that it's news but confirmation or correlation that when one feels/is lost in their orrientation to life that depression is not far off.
But, if they'll just find and follow the Roman Road they can get the help they need.
I absolutely have to disagree with you on, at least,/root being a problem. The last thing I want to see in my / directory, as in Solaris, is a bunch of '.' configuration files for the user root. I also can't stand it when Debian puts some.crap file in the / directory. If it's so important to the box booting, put it in/boot or even/etc.
I guess I'll bite at the story's mention of Gnome being associated with 'etc' meaning 'extended tool chest': they do so many other things wrong, why not this too?
Yes, you should go to school for the sake of learning how to think like a computer scientist (or a business person). Otherwise, unless you have innate management or enterprising skills that will move you beyond merely being a NOC monkey, you not move into a leadership role (of NOC monkeys or better).
I've dealt with way to many security-stone-agers for me not to agree with you. I cringe when the client I'm on the phone with mentions that they're using telnet, even when it's in their own network.
(I would hope sysadmins know more about effictive security than developers.)
Also, while that's a nice idea, there is at least one issue whose issue is so black and white, so divided, that there is no 'getting past it', as if it were just a label; it will have to be dealt with head on.
Besides, when it comes to 'reaching across the isle', George Bush has a very good track record of so doing... But look at the appriciation and respect he gets from Democrates. It's to the point that Democrates come across as not so much as being about something, as being about getting something: control.
Nah, he'll lose because his middle name is Hussein and/or he's not experienced; that is: percieved as not ready for that responsibility.
Concerning him being black: I wish J.C. Watts, Jr. was running because there just aren't too many republicans I can throw my whole heart behind in this race. However, I know where J.C. stands and that he has integrity in that stance (with which I agree).
P.S.: Who's the jackass who decided that a blue and rad donkey would be representative of politics in America?
If you are working in Texas, you the priviledge in that Texas is a "employment at will"(PDF) state. The implications are that you can work, or not work, when you want to. That doesn't mean your boss has to keep your employed, but it means they can't stop you from leaving either (and unions can't stop you from working, too).
From the PDF link above:
Q: Does an employer need to provide an employee with the reason for terminating him/her?
A: The Texas Payday Law does not address the issue of termination. Texas, however, is as an "employment at will" state. This means that the employment relationship between employer and employee exists by the agreement of both parties. This gives the employee the right to quit at any time or for the employer to terminate the employee at any time and for any legal reason
(emphasis mine)
If I were you, I would have your lawyer look into whether this company has a history of such litigation. If so, I would have your lawyer counter sue, for a lot of money, for legal harassment. This is in light of the "employment at will" and previous behavior.
The complaint about the law is still very legitimate regardless of the detail of the blogger having to be paid. It is STILL an effort to control free speech and that is STILL a very serious issue.
I really hate HATE to tell you this but not every fetus turns into a human being.
No, you really don't HATE to do so.
MORE "babies" die to miscarriages than to abortions this is a result of man's sin. You presume that all is perfect, natural, and as it should be. Therefore, when something bad, but not directly done by man, happens, that All Might God is responsible. To the contrary, sin is like Pandora's box: badness is loosed and it's all man's fault. Sometimes God will intervine, but not without order (He put the management of the Earth under man's dominion).
"in development" does not equal developed. You should read for comprehension and not for speed. Or is it that you don't know what is is?
lets kill abortion doctors. This concept BOGGLES my mind. IF LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS TO YOU WHY DO WE HAVE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT? Why do we have wars? Why do we ever let a fully formed and living human being die? Why is a bunch of cells in a woman so much more important than a fully functional human being? Simple: Justice: Some have never learned right from wrong (like fetuses) and others, who have learned right from wrong, choose wrong (a.k.a. evil). Sometimes what they choose is so wrong that they deserve to die (by the hands of the government, the same goes for wars). That doesn't mean kill abortion doctors; they, with or without conscience (God knows), work within (man's) law and will not be put to death by the same government.

Bluetooth Lawsuit
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
What the nay-sayers above fail to realize is this:
are infringing on four patents sold under the "Bluetooth" name. (emphasis mine)
Meaning: the patents have been there and these companies, knowingly or not, have created products that infringe on the patents and have called it "Bluetooth". Whether it falls under the "Bluetooth" standard or not, these patents, they feel, apply to their chips.
Also, should they have read the article, they might have realized that licensing has been sought, and gained, with other companies and that this lawsuit would somewhat be wasting time if they haven't already sought such licensing with the companies they are currently suing. (INAL, but I would think the courts would require 'reasonable' pursuit of resolution prior to bring a lawsuit).
...look at this as what it is - Bush & Co making.. blah, blah, blah
Wake up!
Can you be any more paranoid? You go rabid, yes, rabid, on someone who merely signed the law! He didn't write it! (And I doubt you meant to say & Co = Congress)
Are you still sore over the 2000 election? If so, you obviously are ignorant or dispise the Constitution of the United States. If it's the latter I'm sure you care not a wit about Clinton being a convicted criminal as well (for obstruction of justice, and notice I didn't use 'is' lest there be a moment of confusion in what I meant).
What more shall I rant on concerning the hyporcracy and blindedness of the Liberal mindset? As far as I'm concerned: If you can't tell that kernel of corn will grow up to be a corn stalk (just ask Monsanto, they understand what a kernel of their genetically modified plants are precursors to)... wait, I'm not being to clear or direct: If you can't tell that a fetus is but a human in development, then I cannot trust any of your subsequent judgments, whether small or great.

Pretty much. If congress can't do it, neither can a state legislature... Well, at least not for long (hopefully).
This is so true.

Hmmm. That makes sense, but, the donkey's colors are not consistant with the recent red vs. blue color denotation ever so popular in the media.
Ah, those silly non-conformist editors.
Nah, he'll lose because his middle name is Hussein and/or he's not experienced; that is: percieved as not ready for that responsibility.

I even checked the link this time.

I expect the truth of your reporting will fall on deaf ears.
These people are fulling bent on their perception of how the world works or should work.
They really have some hard lessons ahead of them.
Finally: a piece of sanity from within the comments.
Point taken.
