How would they know what he did was harmless unless they investigated him? He DID install a perl script, didn't he? The FBI DID drop the case, didn't they?
Former Washington, D.C., CTO Vivek Kundra, who was recently appointed Federal CIO, has not been implicated in the FBI's corruption investigation, which centers on a city employee and a technology consultant.
This is an outrage. We can't have people who've not been implicated serving in government.
I just got an e-mail from apple announcing the launch of a turn by turn GPS navigation app for 9.99/month. Won't think add even more load to the already strained network?
You'd be surprised at how close this is to the truth. Verizon is the only network that works in the DC metro. There are a lot of people on the hill who would love to get an iphone on Verizon.
You might be willing to spend money and burden your economy for global warning but there is no way India and China are going to do anything that impacts their growth.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch on Tuesday sketched out early plans for Dow Jones & Co Inc, saying he leaned toward making the online Wall Street Journal free but had not yet made a decision.
Murdoch also projected about $100 million in cost savings, or double the amount earlier anticipated, saying he had identified "low-hanging fruit." His $5.6 billion purchase of the publisher of the Wall Street Journal is expected to close in about two months.
He reiterated his proposal to make the Wall Street Journal's Web site free, rejecting criticism that it would hurt the newspaper. Analysts have said a free wsj.com could be a risky move as the site is a rare Internet property that has managed to attract paying customers.
Murdoch said making the site, which currently charges a annual subscription fee of $99, freely available online would help boost viewership and revenue globally.
"Will you lose $50 million to $100 million in revenue? I don't think so," Murdoch said. "If the site is good, you'll get much more."
Wireless companies are all about subscribers/quarter. There is no way Verizon will pass up on an opportunity to keep their numbers up. Take a look at what's happening to Sprint-Nextel.
I doubt the IT heads of individual departments are just going to turn over their IT operations to him. In any case, a lot of government documents are hosted by large private sector contractors like Lockheed and EDS.
What about the hundreds of thousands of American citizens who work for Dell and Microsoft and get a paycheck that supports their family? What about the income taxes they pay?

An unmanned aircraft costs a lot less than a single F/22 or F/35. So, buying more UAV/UCAVs doesn't say much about spending priorities. TFA makes no mention of the amount of meny being spent on unmanned aircraft v/s manned aircraft.
He didn't just "catch wind" of the program. He was told about parts of it. The information was classified. It's against the law to reveal classified information.
He's going to jail, the reporters who reported it aren't(and shouldn't).
He had never been "read into," or briefed, on the details of the program. All he knew was that a domestic surveillance program existed, and it "didn't smell right."
He revealed the details of a classified program he admits he knew nothing about because it didn't smell right? He's going to jail, and rightly so.
This is a great idea. They should make it punitive. If comcast, verizon and ATT start charging more, google's algorithm for searches should be tweaked to the detriment of one of the offending parties.

Seriously...WTF is wrong with people...why don't they consider nuclear power?

Who the fuck would read something that long?
Nobody..Hence the leak.

It's not a hole..It works exactly like it was designed to work..making it easier for people to spread their word.
How is it capitalism? The trade part only comes into the picture because of the government mandated cap.
We share the planet with the Indians and Chinese and there is absolutely NO chance they will sacrifice growth for a reduction in carbon emissions.
here comes the obligatory AC CCP troll with the "things are the same in the US" BS....

That would be the logical fallacy Falsus in unus, falsus omnibus

That's the average? I pay around 75$/month.

As long as American consumers chase lower prices, companies will chase lower manufacturing costs.
what with this being an english site and all.
This being slashdot and all, nobody would actually read the article anyway.

If you had been convicted of a felony, like this guy will likely be, you wouldn't be eligible for a green card.
