Yes but it cost a crapload of money to do it in 9 years..
100B over 12 years is a hell of a lot less money.
Keep in mind we're running a deficit the whole time (which we have been since Kennedy, oddly enough).
As we have not since balanced the budget (not even in the 90's, unless you ignore the interest accumulation), it's probably a good thing they're spreading out the cost.
You libertarians just want to trade a government with constitutional limits, for a defacto state run by corporations or individual robber barons, whose only limit is how much money they have.
Ah yes, you clearly understand libertarianism.. oh woops, Libertarians are anti-corporation and for proprietorships and partnerships instead.
The last Libertarian candidate for president even articulated this point in a slashdot interview.
By the way, workers have freedom too.. you could always just not work for a company that doesn't pay you enough, unless you don't have enough skills/education to be "worth it".. or have you not taken an economics class?
Is labor a good or service? Yes? Then the laws of supply and demand affect it.
I don't think there's a psychologist alive that wouldn't say this is unhealthy, and probably a sign of a mental disorder.
My older brother got kicked out of the military for high blood pressure in February. Since then he's not found a job and he's not even considering going back to school.
He's 26, lives at my parent's house, and he plays computer games for about 14 hours a day (15 if you count the breaks for eating and such), 7 days a week.
What if you're traveling? If you do it a lot, it's likely one of your drives will fail.. But you have an up-to-the-second backup with you at all times.
Not everyone will need/want it. Personally I'd keep mine in a RAID-0 config because laptop drives are low RPM.
"Why do something cheap when we can spend even more money for something just as useful?"
Because the expensive one is 1% better, and if a patient dies while you were using the cheap one, you'll get your ass sued off.
Doctors freely admit to running more tests, choosing the more expensive treatments, and all manner of unnecessary things JUST to cover their bases in case they get sued. Even still, the average doc pays 1/3 of their salary to malpractice insurance.
Can't this problem be solved by the simple addition of a dongle that connects between the video port and the monitor? The dongle would then give the pre-HDCP monitor the capability of receiving HD video that requires HDCP.
Not exactly, I'm guessing the content will be encrypted based on a key stored in the monitor, or something to that effect.
Either that or this is just some way of preventing capture of video via DVI (which would be insane anyway).
A restriction on federal funding *is* a restriction of research
Sometimes private industry intentionally cancels projects and research due to competition from the US government (AKA the biggest and richest employer on the planet).
For all we know, twisting off the government spigot on these projects could be the best thing that happened to stem cell research. The private sector has been known to do a little research on occasion.
Most of the security issues aren't that significant. Mambo is so versitile, patching it doesn't break anything (largely because just about everything you can imagine can be handled without modifying the PHP).
As someone who has written his own CMS (See for yourself), and has tried just about every single one out there (including PHPBB with a portal I wrote myself), I think Mambo's probably the best solution for me and most of my clients.
That's like saying do not push the big red button!
Stimpy: "What does it do?" Ren: "That's just it. No one knows! Maaaaaaaaaybe something good. Maaaaaaaaybe something bad. But we'll never know. Cuz you're going to guard it. You won't let anyone touch it, will you?!"
The best part is: even before the patriot II (which passed, see above link), ISPs could be charged with obstruction of justice for not giving the FBI what they ask for in unofficial terms.
Speaking as someone who was tracked down in such a way over a MISDEMENOR (dismissed, thank God), I can say that this affects us all. I'm very proud to say that a grand jury was assembled and a warrant had to be issued before Cox gave the information up. This was after Patriot I, however, it was BEFORE Patriot II.

Would you let a slashdot member cut *your* hair?
What a terrible thing to say! There are some gay and female nerds out there.
Hell, why not work on "masturbation without enjoyment" too, that should be just as useful.
They have that already, it's called Poltical Science.
Lincoln instituted a type of sedition act in the USA, as did FDR.
For the record I didn't like either of those presidents.
Perhaps we shouldn't rebuild on the lands that keep getting destroyed... I hear that's what they did in the days before governmental disaster relief.
Can someone explaine to me why its not illegal for a company to punish a consumer for tinkering with a product that that consumer had purchased?
Have you ever heard of a Homeowner's Association?

Someone named Gareth Dyke being interested in Giant Chicks.
Be thee liberal, conservative, or somewhere in between
I'm libertarian you insensitive clod!
I'd give anything to be around at that time, only to see how the creationism/evolution debate turns out.
I'm betting on the creationists because they prefer Jesus Brand lip balm.
Or maybe the Christian Scientists will prevail.. After all, it'd take an act of God to get me to stop huffing CFC's in the wee hours of the morn.
very good, he was in infantry
Of course they buy more music! The people who buy the most music are the same ones who pirate the most because they're in the same demographic!
Linking the two is OK, but saying that people who pirate more tend to buy more BECAUSE they pirate is really a huge error in logic.
They probably steal AND buy more for the same reason: they like music.
I'm not saying this as an outsider looking in, either.

I'm so freak jealous.
Change its policy! You wouldn't type "... might have to change it is 99 cents per song policy."
iTMS is alive, it just has no gender.

Women everywhere moan.... as their number two excuse, right after I have a headache, becomes scientifically irrelevant....
I'm too tired honey....
Actually, this drug does not prevent tiredness, it just allows your brain to function while tired.

I'm tired of your corporate bullshit!
You can trust corporations... to be corporations.
If anything, M$ speaking out against something in foreign countries is more likely to have the opposite apparently desired effect.

How is a concealed weapon going to help you when you have a heart attack?
It's kind of like when a cowboy's horse gets a broken leg...

A lot of ISPs' privacy policies state that they wont give out your personal information with anything short of a warrant.
...
With the FBI basically writing their own warrants now, it's put them in an awkward legal position.
The best part is: even before the patriot II (which passed, see above link), ISPs could be charged with obstruction of justice for not giving the FBI what they ask for in unofficial terms.

Nowadays.. well
