I guess this is what happens when your backward, anti-freedom police state party systematically alienates all the programmers and sysadmins and hackers, all the good techs and IT personnel who otherwise might have wanted to help you.
Bull.
The geek is for hire like anyone else.
Fox News, for example, is a division of News Corporation one of the largest, most diverse, and technologically sophisticated media enterprises on the planet.
bullshit, most Nazi technology e.g. aircraft was superior.
Arthur C. Clarke wrote a famous short story about how a galactic empire was broken by its wartime quest for the ultimate weapon.
In WWII the US had its super weapon in the atomic bomb.
But its primary focus was on the mass production of ships, planes, weapons, radios and so on in numbers that would have an immediate impact on the war effort.
Obviously just a PR stunt for promoting the game. Also serves USA PR interests carrying on myth of that whole bin laden complex raid and mysterious sea burial malarkey!
the sheeple are so dumb they believe anything with no evidence if it is official enough.
My observation is that while there are third-party candidates that attract attention, rarely do their positions fall into the political spectrum somewhere that would allow them to gain a majority
Third parties in the US tend to fall into two familiar categories:
Those which form around a charismatic leader with genuine appeal across the political spectrum but whose inevitable departure from the scene is fatal.
Norman Thomas. Theodore Roosevelt.
Those who have a death grip on a regional or political demographic that is clearly in decline.
The Dixiecrats of 1948. The Republicans of 2012. The Republicans of 1850 were solidly Midwestern. But to a national audience, they were the party of free agriculture, Industrial expansion, Internal improvements. The party of the railroad. Energetic. Optimistic. Out to make things happen.
Oh, look, the State destroying a business and free choice in the first part of the summary and then the State enabling people to harass other people over imaginary property in the second.

At some point, one of the following will happen: (a) Bob will quit. While not ideal, this gives you the opportunity to bring someone in to dump the content out of his code, sort it, drop old documents, and move it to Google Docs.
Bob isn't a staffer you can fire and forget.
He is a senior member of the board, an advocate and fund-raiser, a very familiar face, representing an important constituency of his own among the agency's clients and financial backers,
In my state, "sex offenders" include people who have urinated in public, people who forgot to close the bathroom shades before getting out of the shower, and a great many teenagers who couldn't keep it in their pants. Are these the "depraved and psychotic people" whose lives you wish to destroy?
I've heard this argument presented many times here before,
But it never stands up when I look at the registries in my home state and county,
Level 1 offenders and offenders whose risk hasn't been assessed are excluded here. What you will find here are rap sheets. Convictions. The age and sex of the victims. The M,O,, such as the use of a weapon. The victims can be very young. Two years. Five years.
The geek clings to his fantasies of the sex offender. Paging through these registries breaks the spell.
Bob's experience and competence in other areas are regarded as indispensable to a board that is struggling to fill at least two critical vacancies.
Bob built this system on his own time for an NPO that appears to have no IT staff or competence whatever and a board which seems almost too eager to embrace an alternative solution --- any solution --- proposed off-stage by its most junior member.
How you avoid the blow-up to come, I can't even begin to guess.
If somebody compared me to that slimebag Rockefeller, I'd shoot them.
The farmer bought the Standard product with the reasonable expectation that the oil lamp in his parlor would not explode when his wife when his wife put a match to the wick --- a very real possibility in the early wildcat days of the petroleum industry.
He bought the Standard product because it was sold unadulterated in honest weights and measures.
He bought the Standard product because it was cheap.
The retail price of kerosene down 50% in less then ten years.
When the Standard Oil trust was broken, customers remained loyal to the Standard's regional operating companies, each one very big, very strong and technically sophisticated competitors in their own right.
Don't worry, Republican friends, Mitt will just claim he wasn't actually running for President anyway.
It is often the little things that are most revealing:
Over in Chicago, the Obama campaign had invited 10,000 to fill the floor of the McCormick Place convention center. But here in Boston, Mitt Romney favored a more genteel soiree for an exclusive crowd.
Romney's election-night event was in a ballroom at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center that could accommodate a few hundred. Most men wore jacket and tie; women donned dresses and heels
Outside the ballroom, waiters in black tie tended bar, and Jumbotrons showed the election results on Fox News. Downstairs, Romney's big donors assembled in private rooms for finer fare; guards admitted only those whose credentials said ''National Finance Committee.''
But the election results, even filtered through the rose-colored lenses of Fox News, were not promising.
Michigan fell to Obama, and then so did Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Obama was holding his own in Florida and Virginia, and things were looking grim for Romney in Ohio. The ballroom was as quiet as a library as the audience listened to the Fox personalities on-screen.
''Romney would have to draw to an inside straight'' at this point, pronounced Brit Hume, who predicted ''an awful lot of recriminations.''
Romney had spent nearly two years, and hundreds of millions of dollars, trying to convince Americans that he wasn't an out-of-touch millionaire unconcerned about the little people --- that he was more than a caricature who liked to fire people, who didn't care about the very poor or the 47 percent who pay no income tax, who has friends who own NASCAR teams.
He very nearly achieved it: Polls showed him neck-and-neck with Obama in the campaignâ(TM)s closing days. But his final day in the race showed why he couldnâ(TM)t persuade enough working-class Americans that he spoke for them.
On election night in 2000, George W. Bush hosted an outdoor rally for thousands in Austin. In 2008, Barack Obama addressed a mass of humanity in Chicago's Grant Park.
The very location set the candidate and his well-heeled supporters apart from the masses: The gleaming convention center, built with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, is on a peninsula in the Boston harbor that was turned into an election-night fortress, with helicopters overhead, metal barricades and authorities searching vehicles. Only a few gawkers crossed the bridge from downtown to stand outside.
The core principles of the US Constitution are based on a notion of a "balance of powers." It's purpose was to insure a stable political union not given to extreme behavior no matter how strong the forces that might push it in that direction.
The electoral college is fine. The problem is the Winner Takes All system. The founding fathers never intended that.
There are many things the founding fathers never expected to see:
Political parties, for one.
Though echoes of the split between Hamilton and Jefferson resonate in our two party system to this day.
The direct election of the Senate, the vast expansion of the franchise and the election of a young-in-spirit though not always in age populist President rather than a gentlemanly elder statesman and father figure like Washington.
That assumes that there are machines with unlocked bootloaders available. That may not always be the case. If Microsoft decides to apply the same terms to Windows on x86 that it is on ARM, that would pretty much destroy the market for general purpose computers.
The lock-down of the X86 motherboard means only that the geek would no longer be able to piggy-back Linux on commodity hardware built and marketed for the Windows ecosystem.
The Windows user, however, isn't likely to have the slightest problem finding useful apps in every imaginable product category, which is a good working definition of general purpose computing.

What I find far more interesting is the current poll standings for the additional platform support; 23% of the voters want a Linux port vs. only 8% for MacOS. Seriously? Almost a quarter of space/flight sim fans run Linux? I know FlightGear is good, but who knew?
I don't understand why the geek gives an online poll any credibility whatever.
The online poll is trivially easy to manipulate. It is not a random sampling of the potential market for anything.
People are taught that central banks are necessary to manage money supplies (even though the US boomed through the entire 19th century, most of which didn't have a central bank.
The US went bust in 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873 and 1893.
The Great Depression of the 1930s was called "great" for a reason. It followed a long series of depressions which afflicted the American economy throughout the 19th century.
Crop failures, drops in cotton prices, reckless railroad speculation, and sudden plunges in the stock market all came together at various times to send the growing American economy into chaos. The effects were often brutal, with millions of Americans losing jobs, farmers being forced off their land, and railroads, banks, and other businesses going under for good.
In early May 1893 the New York stock market dropped sharply, and in late June panic selling caused the stock market to crash.
A severe credit crisis resulted, and more than 16,000 businesses had failed by the end of 1893. Included in the failed businesses were 156 railroads and nearly 500 banks.
Unemployment spread until one in six American men lost their jobs.
If you have a choice of where you live, staying away from the coast, and not near an active seismic zone, and not next to a river can help.
The big city and the well-paying job tends to found where where trade, transport and communication is easy and affordable.
The Erie Canal linked an ambitious and prosperous New York City to the Great Lakes and the Midwest. New Orleans had the Mississippi, the Missouri and Ohio to draw upon.
If your interests lie in grain and cattle and you will likely be thinking about settling the Great Plains. The miner heads for the mountains. The fisherman for open water.
Its stupid to keep the lab animals in the basement obviously, if only from the perspective of setting research back years, let alone the needless killing of thousands of animals.
Manhattan real estate is expensive.
The hospital board can put income generating wards, clinics, operating rooms, cafeterias, restaurants, shops and other services on an upper floor or they can chose to house the animals there.
Research centers often stash their animal labs underground. That makes it easier to store heavy animal equipment like cage washers, autoclaves, and giant tanks of fish, and the lack of windows helps technicians control the light-dark cycle. Labs in California use basement cages to keep them safe from earthquakes, and other building managers like to have the excrement and waste sequestered down below.
Institutions like to keep their animals from public view. After all, even with the basements dry, these research centers are the site of massive rodent slaughter: The several thousand mice that drowned in Monday's flood represent just a tiny fractionâ"0.002 percent, perhapsâ"of all the mice and rats that die for research every year. It's ugly work, even when it's useful and important. Ken Kornberg, an architect who's worked on more than 400 biomedical research projects, points out that basements are more secure from activists and protesters.
Yes, you can go through a ridiculously complex process to install a key that will expire and Microsoft can revoke so that you can run some software on your system.
Let's be honest here:

Install Visual Studio Express and the recreational or student programmer can renew his key in one or two clicks.
Keep in mind, every single museum exhibit at this place was paid for with money borrowed on behalf of the taxpayer.

They pretty much emptied the Public Domain like a hemophiliac hooker in Queens.
MGM built its reputation on big budget adaptations of the classics. Disney had the wit to see that fairy tales were a perfect fit for animation --- and pushed budgets, production design, character and effects animation to heights no other studio could match.
A trivial search of IMDB will expose scores of significant film and video productions based on the same public domain sources used by Disney. Mary Martin's Peter Pan. Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella."
Mark my words.... Episode 7 will be all goddamned Ewoks.
