First, I'm not talking this administration, or republicans or democrats. I'm talking any government, hell any department in a company, will always strive for a larger budget with expanded responsibilty and hence, more power. This is why it is so dangerous to allow government to operate in secrecy. It isn't even a conscious effort to screw the public or an evil plot. It's just people naturally trying to increase their paycheck and purpose in life.
Suppression of a free press is really the only hurdle needed to allow the government unstrained growth and expansion of powers as well as removal of rights in the name of saftey. The terrorist threat is not what people should fear. People should be fearing the government's reaction to the terrorists because that is what will truely harm this nation.
And don't forget you are basing your judgement on how much freedom you are willing to give up on what the government tells you, what the government says they cannot tell you, and what the government won't tell you.
If the free press is not allowed to operate and disseminate important information the government is free to tell the people they are under attack and more money and power is needed to secure them.
Fear the government because that is where the change for the worst will come from. Terrorism is merely a convienent catalyst.
The government is our biggest enemy and I'll tell you why. And no, I do not think it is a conspiracy, but they always want more power and they want a bigger budget.
It doesn't matter where you work in the public sector and even in a private company. I've worked at both, currently I work under a publically funded grant. Everyone wants a bigger budget. No one wants to fire a subordinate for budget reasons and everyone likes raises. Everyone wants new computers and another company car. This causes departments to continually spend their entire budget and look for reasons to expand the next budget.
Will the justice department tell you there is a terrorist threat and they need more power and a bigger budget to do more investigation? Of course they will. That's how they get more money.
Will the FBI? Of course! They want a larger budget. Will the CIA? Of course! How about the military? Duh NSA? They love money! More computers to track you with.
My point is, with classified documents realating to national security the only way the public has any way of knowing when these agencies are doing anything wrong is when someone leaks the knowledge. Otherwise the government would be free to spiral down into a bloated "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!" type business where classified documents show there is a threat and therefore an agency needs a bigger budget.
Now blah blah terrorists want to attack us. Sure. But the point here is that you think it is ok for the government to take away our rights in the name of saftey, and to silence those who would point out actual wrong doing and sometimes very evil practices.
Now with the NSA tracking who calls who, and the government revving up to start headhunting reporters there is really no guarantee there will be any check on excessive spending, illegal practices or just generally stupid stuff bloated government is prone to.
This guy doesn't even know what software is running on his home computer. Do you think he actually managed to use google to google search for google's policy on things like child pornography?
It was a joke. He is referencing the normal diagnostics steps that a home user is put through when the cable modem or router is not working. Unplugging all the devices attached one at a time is what the techs make you do.
Your ignorance made you miss the joke. You should apologize.
"A moderately high voltage is required to stimulate the target cells inside the brain, and it is not possible to stimulate small groups of cells specifically. The voltages applied could, in some cases, provoke epileptic seizures."
It sure is news of the patient isn't sent into a fit of spasms from a seizure every 45 minutes while the camera is activated. You know, like what happened 10 years ago.
I'll tell you why I saw the light.. I was using Ubuntu with it's Gnome desktop. Gnome was doing me well until I wanted to change something and couldn't. (Window manager metacity blows) So i switched to KDE's window manager, kwin.
Then one day I realized I liked Amarok and digiKam so I installed Kubuntu Desktop via apt-get while using Ubuntu. Figured I'd give KDE a try.
Within an hour I had KDE configured to look exactly like my gnome desktop, to every last button and taskbar. Then I realized, I didn't have to make it like gnome at all!
So in summary. KDE Is better than GNOME because KDE can look like GNOME but GNOME cannot look like KDE. Same as all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Gnome is a square.
Also, i had a preconcieved notion that KDE was a Windows desktop clone, which it might be at first glance, but you can quickly and easily make it your own.
Gnome is just inferior in comparison, but I still run it on my laptop.
No sense blaming the killings on poor police training, poor methods of detaining suspects, poor gun safety and most of all, the kids parents or even OMGBBQ!11 the kid himself!
There have always been crazy people. Just because some crazy people play games now does not mean that games make people crazy.
Not only that, but none of the Starship Enterprise, A through E I think it is, are constantly getting blown up. I think in the most recent movie Riker even made a joke about them building an Enterprise F.
The USS Enterprise, the carrier has had a far more successful service record.
What standing does the government have to even ask for this information?
I see no reason whatsoever that google should be forced to provide for the request other than the DOJ saying "Can we see your information?"
No law has been broken, no crime is under investigation... Can they come to my house next and ask to see the last 1,000 things I searched for? Why can they do that to google? This is insane and that judge is a moron.
I love the "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?" line.
Everyone always repeats it like the other person is going to back down, when in fact the person who Dirty Harry said this too went for his gun. Just hope that if you challenge someone with that Dirty Harry line the other person does indeed not feel lucky, otherwise you better hope it was 5 shots and not 6.
The key is a signature. All it does is verify that the file came from somewhere. If Redhat distributes to a third party and the third party wants to modify the software and distribute it they are free to. And you are free to take the modified version and modify it further. No where though are you given the rights to impersonate Redhat. All they need to do is release the source code.
Black box voting is non-partisan. They are fighting for open voting. They are not trying to prove that Bush stole the election (Although they might do that during their investigations) they are trying to show that the black box voting machines are going to kill democracy.
IBM has previously made decisions based on emotion, including revenge and spite.
See the dealins with OS/2. There is some post on usenet from a microsoft programmer somewhere who was working with IBM on OS/2 detailing just how strange the decisions that IBM management was making. IBM doesn't need a reason for this. This might just be revenge for Windows 3.0 destroying OS/2 and ruining IBM's future on desktop machines.
Gnome2? Do you mean GTK2? there is a difference. Is there something I'm missing that links GNUcash to gnome other than they both use the same GTK2 toolkit?

Guns are arms. You can own fully automatic assault rifles. You can own heavy machine guns.
Bombs, cannons, and Nuclear Weapons are ordinance. Nerve gas and weaponized bioweapons probably fall under this category as well.
There is a difference between ordinance and arms.
There is nothing to stop a newspaper from reporting a rape victim. The rape shield laws apply to court documents.

It did give me a better experience. I said fuck buying another $100 piece of crap and I went with Lexmark.
Why the hell not? I hate having to install 256 megs of software to run my printer.
If they are linearly dependent keys you can still crack the subspace those keys span and access any media coming from those 10,000 devices.

Just like there is no point in spending an extra $1000 on a laptop when all you need is a web browser and an office suite.
