No its really not, people need to try to understand what a right is before they go off half cocked about what a right is. A right is not something that is given to you, I cant *give* you the right to free speech I can only prevent myself from infringing on that right. A right is something you have because you're human, not something given to you by any government or body of people. The US bill of rights which is based in the philosophies of many European 17th and 18th century thinkers, and which in turn is a basis for many of the rights later granted in the mostly monarchial systems of 18th and 19th century Europe does not *grant rights* it protects them.
The minute you say that a right is something provided by the government you give the government power they should not have. Example: I do think education is a right, everyone has the right to pursue an education but the Government is not obligated to provide one just to stay out of the way. Health Care is not a right unless you're talking the right to pursue healthcare.
Before you jump all over me just because something is not a right (health care, education) does not mean its not a good and perhaps necessary thing for the government to provide just *PLEASE* stop calling it a right!
the GPL is the only thing keeping Linux from forking, face it between official kernel releases the distros play games with it. When the new kernel is released they all come back. If they could keep their changes from feeding back into the kernel they might not go back to the official release and we will end up with the mess UNIX has had to deal with
"Rashed contends that business customers are now looking for Secure Shell programs with support and liability protection "due to compliance regulations and security audits." Specifically, "we have heard lots about SOX 404 [Sarbanes-Oxley], CA SB 1386 [California Information Practice Act], HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] and others along with internal audits that are driving customers to SSH Tectia," Rashed said."
I was ready to jump all over this until I RTFA. This paragraph is truth, anyone who works with enterprise level systems know SOX and HIPPA are taken so seriously by the C-level execs of companies that they are desperate for someone to provide liability protection. That and management are important, and nowhere in the article did I see them say that SSH is no secure. Those of us who work with C-level people know that SSH Tectia has a point in seperating themselves from openssh, I just hope my CIO does not see this;)
Because I might like a supported application base I need more than five fingers to count. Cant use it for my Oracle servers, Weblogic servers, Websphere, Informix, Foglight, NetBackup,....
Sure they will run but if I have to fight with a PHB about something its not going to be I want BSD even though none fo the above software will offer support for it..
While I agree the work around is good enough for now this IDN issue is nothing new! We have known about this for a good long time now and there has been nothing done (maybe a different URL color field if the name is using non utf8) to resolve this.
I believe it does, welfare in and of itself is not a bad thing but the great society has actually managed to entrench generational poverty in this nation. The thought that growing up while having society at large have lower expectations of you, and constantly make excuses for you if you don't meet them does not arm people with the tools the need to pull themselves out of poverty. This type of enslavement only creates a serfdom of voters and clients who are dependant on state services.
Clintons Welfare reform in the 90's, while republican inspired, was a great middle ground. We will help you but soon after you must go out and work (Germany has a similar program). That program greatly angered those who are in the industry of poverty who were mostly politicians and many social workers.
Is that so? Then why don't we hear about the high crime rates of , or even Great Britain and Canada, who have more of a social net than we do?
A culture of entitlement is not only because of social nets its because the view people have of them. In the US so much is excused because of a persons life story, we love to turn into . Notice I said lack of entitlement *AND* lack of personal . A net is a fine, fine thing but in the US we have a with generation after generation sleeping in it. Parents that even know what school their kids go to!
but I doubt that New Deal is the source of the problem considering that in the developed world we have both the highest crime rates and the smallest of the programs you blame for it.
Ten minutes you posted this I corrected myself and said Great Society.
You have put your finger on the problem precisely (though I would tend to think that this primarily a south-westerm US problem.
NOLA is south east US, not south west. The problems in NOLA were due to the culture of entitlement, and lack of personal responsibility that the new deal has created among the poorest of the US. Hell there are poverty advocates who say that looting it ok because they are poor. This was not in response to food and water this is while they were watching a clip of a guy stealing stuff from a high end electronics store. If looting is OK because they are poor why not violence against another person.
we all have poor politicians, though few of us have whole police forces that run
NO and LA are the most poorly run state/major city in the Union and its been that way for some time. The best example is a parking lot full of flooded busses that could have been used in the hours before the storm hit (or the levees broke) to get some more people out of there.
In that case there's a problem with the gun culture. I think strict gun laws can help change the culture in the long run.
Strict laws can change any culture over time, guess youre ok with the government imposing culture.... good luck with that. When they come for violent song lyrics because they want to change a culture of violence just remember putting restrictions on a law abiding persons liberties may be impracticle at the time but that does not make the laws bad..
Religion and culture... One can disagree with a religion and what it teaches without hating them. I disagree with Jihad, and sanctioned practice of applying special taxes to non-Muslims, the criminalisation of preaching any religion but Islam, and finally the loss of rights that goes along with converting.
The people who bombed the trade center and the underground were protected by the Tali ban, thats the kind of people they are. The Tali ban, mind you, blew up two ancient amazing artifacts in their territory simply because they were Buddhist.
If the concept is beyond you I won't be supervised as it seems all you do is follow around people you might disagree with and troll them
But you produce more pollution from the increased amount of coal needed to make it.
Plus, it stems the tide of money that we are sending to the terrorists to fund their war against us.
I really wish one of the parties would be serious about an energy independant America, neither seems willing to do whats needed. We need a moon-shot, a *our first priority in the next decade is to produce over 90% of our energy here in the US* but the parties are too for big business..
Yes. Every study not conducted by him that I have ever located. Need links? I can also link you to critiques of his previous work if you would like, and to how he ignored the critiques and used the exact same numbers again.
Yes I would really appreciate the links, thanks.. Thank you also for making points (which had I RTFA I might have already knows) which I can agree really blow holes in his work without turing to flame.
Over half of our country's electricity comes from coal
Not exactly a clean source of energy.
When the guy repeatedly uses 1979 ethanol plant efficiencies (we're twice as efficient nowadays), pretends that all of our corn is irrigated (only 16% is), uses worldwide energy costs for fertilizer production instead of US costs (a 2.5fold difference), and other gross distortions, then repeats them after being corrected, there's good reason to call him "dishonest".
That may be but you got me with the first paragraph attacking his methodology not the previous comment with flippent attacks on someone I have never heard of..
Did I ever say we get more energy out of oil than goes into it? no I said we get more out then *we* put into it. (the *we* was there because I understand this rather basic point youre trying to make).
Nature put more enery into a volume of oil than it did into the same corn, and it put it into a form which is easier to process.
we only change forms of energy to produce the work that we want.
And in the process you will lose energy to another underired form (such as heat), my point was that with oil nature has done most of the work, with Ethanol thats not as true. Now if the study is flawed do you ahve anything other than the authors name to show it is so?
What matters is if you're making something that allows you to get work done.
But we are using oil and natural gas to produce something that does the work of oil and natural gas! and doing it at a net negative.
But, this is all a tangent: only in Pimental's little world of outdated farming energy consumption data and ethanol production efficiencies is ethanol "net negative".
that may be, I dont know the man and I do want ethanol to work (especially when generated from 'green' energy. But my point was stop atacking the messenger and go right after the message it gives more credability..
Im all for ethanol but if they want to make it work *without subsidies* they need to start in the south west where maybe they can eek out enough clean power to make it worth trying..
If you want to make it work, tell universities not to sponsor flawed studies that say it's not worthwhile.
Whats flawed in the study? you not agreeing with it, or thinking that the extra energy now is worth the time does not cahnge the facts.
Smart ass did I say we could produce oil? no I stated a fact *we* put more energy into ethanol than we get out of it. *we* get more energy out of oil than we put into it.
Nature does all the work putting energy into oil, and someday it will go away, none of this changes the fact that using oil and natural gas to produce Ethanol is a joke on the environment and the American tax payer..

What a lame prank! now if they had tp's googles hq I would be impressed..
Except in the case of collusion which is of course price fixing and illegal... Wellcome to the regulated free market..
