At our company we have found Drupal to be more secure and easier to modify than Joomla. Especially the former. I don't know if Joomla is more popular so it gets hit harder or if Drupal is that much more secure - empirically the evidence just said to us we didn't get attacked as much with an up-to-date Drupal than with up-to-date Joomla.
I don't know what standard they have to meet to be declared this, but could the RIAA be declared, at least at some point, a vexatious litigant and their right to sue curtailed?
"I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan's going to tax me more, isn't it?"
Obama's response:
"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance at success, too"
The "Obama is a socialist" bandwagon was hitched up to Joe Wurzelbacher based on this exchange. It wasn't really so much of a "hard, serious question" than a rhetorical device. If Wurzelbacher had wanted to be more serious about the question, he should have left it more open-ended. I hope that he does better with "Secure Our Dream."
NPR had a story last week about how "swiftboat" groups on both sides were suffering from lack of funds due to the economic crunch. I think the Veteran's group that hit Kerry said on that program they would run one ad with a limited spread as that was all they could afford.
I'm with you, AC. I would challenge MikeRT to teach in a rural school system like both of my parents did and see how well he likes the "pretty penny." This "most districts" stuff is completely unsupported by statistics.
How about some hard numbers:

Not necessarily. Watch listed? Probably. But the current government is slightly more progressive in this than they used to be. Part of it is increased European influence.
I definitely agree that Cuban exiles should not have been dispossessed. I do think there was a lot of corruption there pre-Castro though - sort of like the Shah of Iran situation. However that doesn't really give them carte blanc to support hardship on the people who are left in Cuba, no matter how well-intentioned such pressure may be. Health care is definitely suffering because of it.
I've been there legally, toured the country without a government minder, and it is and isn't how you say it is.
The wheelbarrow issue is the same issue that they have with horse and cart being used for garbage collection - a shortage of oil-based products. What is the main reason there a shortage of oil-based products? Embargo.
They usually have the basic active ingredients for most medicines but don't have some of the other ingredients that make a particular medication "fast acting" or the like. The main reason? Embargo.
When the Soviet Union broke up, Cuba stopped receiving some of the supplies they got from them - rather abruptly too. Some folks had to use toothpaste to wash with instead of soap because they had a lot of toothpaste on hand at the time but not soap.
That being said, there are still some major humanitarian issues that need to be addressed regarding freedom of speech, etc. but that does not seem to have as great an effect on the quality of care as the embargo. At least from my personal, upfront experience with daily life in Cuba.
I have a hard time finding the "liberal media" that is touted by such folks. I assume they must mean some mythical media outside the U.S. because inside the U.S. there are only two privately held major media outlets (if I recall correctly) - the New York Times and the Washington Post. And they are more corporate than not. Corporate pressures to produce news that doesn't really say anything or discover anything but makes people feel good is prevalent in media with all sorts of "leanings." Some try harder than others to remain relevant to scientific communities but most hard science is relegated to journals that are only read by those same scientists.
What about those who are obese because of medications they take for Lupus or other more clearly defined medical conditions? A minority, yes, but I think these sorts of generalizations are very hurtful to them just the same.

All EMS data in several states is already being collected. That includes diagnosis, treatment and disposition of patients. The data is then mined for statistical analysis for such activities as disease tracking and symptom trending.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that this story has not been tagged "andnothingofvaluewaslost?" Or am I just impatient?
Two comments. First - the New Testament part of the Bible also condemns homosexuality.
Erm, not exactly in all cases. The Koine Greek word in most caes has a meaning a lot more akin to pedophilia.
I don't know what standard they have to meet to be declared this, but could the RIAA be declared, at least at some point, a vexatious litigant and their right to sue curtailed?
Rather than namecalling I was hoping for more discussion. I clearly forgot this was Slashdot.
Who modded this "insightful?" White supremacists? Good grief this is horrible!

I agree from a public policy perspective. I disagree from a social commentary perspective.
So "my country, right or wrong" is a better take on the situation? That seems to be what you are implying.

Maybe their operations were infiltrated by Slashdot memes...

It's referring to the poem "The Six Blind Men of Indostan"
