For several days after his ouster, censors took a hands-off approach to online gossip, letting speculation flow freely. That changed this week as popular microblogging site Sina Weibo reinstated an earlier block on searches for Mr. Bo's name and additionally blocked a wide range of user-invented code words for Mr. Bo, including the term "not thick"—a play on Mr. Bo's surname, which means "thin."
Searches for Mr. Bo's name, "not thick" and other related terms were also blocked on Tencent Weibo, another of China's popular microblogging sites, which often impose their own blocks in anticipation of what the government will deem sensitive.
Last November a bipartisan group of 24 senators sent a letter to President Obama urging him to approve continued funding through 2013 for the Department of Energy’s exascale computing initiative
Can't believe a candidate for the GOP nomination ran on a promise to terminate the department of energy...Do these guys even know what the DoE does?
Look, this is a problem of dictatorship, not of religion.
Bullshit. If executing a man for a tweet is unislamic, why do muslims let the keepers of the two mosques get away with an unislamic practice? Would the saudi dictators get a pass for opening a casino?
These are the people who banned Satanic Verses before any other country in the Islamic world. The country Salman Rushdie couldn't visit because it would upset the muslims.
we need to provide serious tax incentives for companies that use native workers and even more serious tax liabilities for companies that heavily outsource.
So should we apply tariffs on imported products as well?
Or is it just a problem when it's YOUR ox being gored?
The US didn't train OSama. He was a rich saudi who went to Afghanistan for adventure and jihad. The taliban were created by Pakistan years after the US left the region.
Losing his job for looking at it would be stupid, since it's been leaked.
If he viewed a SECRET document on an unclassified network, he probably violated the terms of his security clearance. He isn't prevented from reading a summary of the document on the New York Times.
Given that he was never tried, and given that in our system of justice a man is innocent until proven guilty,
That's simply not true. If you point a gun at a cop and the cop shoots you, the shooting incident will be investigated but it's unlikely the cop will be charged.
No. It has to do with the FDA making absolutely positively sure that a treatment is safe, or at least that we know all the possible risks associated with each treatment. This takes years to complete for each and every treatment, which means that during those years, any treatment under investigation or medical trials will be unavailable in the US.
In another context, you'd call the approval process a "job killing regulation".

That and also the fact that the F-35 wasn't part of the competition..
The F-35 wasn't offered.
TFA says moving production to the US would add 65$ to labor costs.

How does this sale help Apple?
training Osama, supporting the Taliban

I don't think most of what the CIA does would qualify as "honest". They're spies, aka liars, thieves and criminals.
You want them lying to the bad guys, not to you.
Actually, I favor the creation of patent firms with lower fees and larger volumes.
Great idea. You should patent it.

rather than the underlying causes of social unrest.
What should they do when your home gets robbed? catch the burglars or get the the underlying cause of what makes people rob other people's home?
