If on the other hand they aren't very pro-free-speech but are pro-racial-equality
You seem to be under the impression that the two are somehow mutually exclusive. I am both pro free speech and pro racial equality. Allowing someone to spew their hate speech doesn't mean you support it. The answer to bad speech is more speech, not censorship. The alternative is the government deciding what is acceptable or not, which ultimately is used to everyone's suppress rights.
An example. Some douchebag yanked a 'pro troops' sign out of a kids hands and tore it up. His response to someone asking him about free speech was, "that's hate speech, it's not protected". I'm the first to admit this is an extreme example and didn't involve the government, but the extreme tends to become the law in these kinds of situations. Besides, the Will of People is supposed to guide the government - at least in theory. A side note, my reaction to what that guy did would have been to kick the living shit out of him.
Years ago when the idea of the EU was starting to form into something real, I commented to friends that it had the potential to make something great. I also said that given how governments loved control, it was pretty much guaranteed that they would fuck it up beyond belief. I nailed it (unfortunately).
But where was he employed? Because that's all that matters.
A friend recently won a case against his former employer. He was employed in California. His employers main office was in some other state (I can't remember which). They tried to apply their state's labor laws which were not very worker friendly. They lost big time.
The dispute was over being paid for time spent traveling and other issues regarding unpaid overtime.
That doesn't work if you are very good at being a system admin. I left a company where I was the only technical person. They did not replace me (miserly boss). A year later the main office linux server (samba and email) was still chugging away. I'm not sure how long it ran after that before they brought someone in to update it.
The loser will just take this case to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The rules of evidence and law don't apply. The truth is not a defense. Your chance of successfully defending yourself against the most outlandish charge is almost nonexistent.
Example. Magazine published a review of a book critical of islam. Someone charged the magazine with a human rights violation. Years of hearings costing a bundle of money and the only reason they didn't lose was because of the huge amount of publicity that particular case received. This was the ONLY time someone did not lose against the CHRC.
Yep, sounds more like poor design. A long time ago I worked in software QA (MS DOS based programs). One of the most basic tests I did was to slap the keyboard causing many keys to be pressed randomly. This often caused the program to lock so tight that a cold boot was necessary. I reported it. The lead programmer said, "don't do that." From that point on I refused to pass the program until the issue was dealt with. Doing random stuff would have been expected, locking up was not reasonable. I ended up quitting that job because of that programmer and his refusal to deal with this and many other basic UI issues.
If the touch screen is that easy to get the vote wrong, then the program did not pass basic usability testing. Simple as that. I would have never given it the green light.
Despite what the wackos at DailyKos say, our soldiers don't target innocent civilians. That's not to say accidents don't happen. Civilians killed in wars has always happened and always will happen, unfortunately. Compared to any other war, this one has an astoundingly low civilian casualty rate, and most of those were killed by insurgents, not soldiers. Our soldiers will not hesitate for an innocent to kill an insurgent/terrorist. With a few exceptions, our soldiers are good people and not a bunch of murdering thugs.
A friend of mine was a sniper. He still has problems to this day despite his belief that the people he killed were bad people who deserved it.
The military is having problems with the drone pilots. They are even more removed from the battlefield, but they are having psychological issues because they have killed. Pushing a button from a hundred miles away may be easier than pulling the trigger of a gun pressed to someone's head, but the mind knows what the hand did, and knows what the consequences were.
This is so old and tired and completely refuted that it's hardly worth mentioning. The French had a statistically lower level of heart disease because their medical establishment would usually put down "natural causes" as the cause of death, not heart disease and related causes. It wasn't any kind of conspiracy on their part. It was simply the medical norm.
Red wine does have health benefits. Grape juice does too. Just not enough to overcome what a diet heavy in health badness that French cuisine contains.
It's also worth noting that the bin Laden family disowned Osama many years ago. I'm not an apologist for the middle east. In fact, I don't see much of a downside in turning it into a big glass parking lot. But let's put all the facts out there when discussing things.
I realize American imperialism is brought up as the reason for this violence. But I'm convinced that's bullshit.
They have to have someone to blame for their problems. Their leaders point them at us to distract.
The middle eastern countries have been awash in oil money for decades. What have they done with it? They haven't built any universities of science or medicine. They haven't created a center of technology to provide jobs. They have built lots of religious schools which teach, surprise, the West, especially the U.S. and Israel, are evil and keeping them down. They have no excuse. With the amount of money they have available to them they could build world class universities and produce their own doctors, scientists, and engineers. Instead, anyone who wants an education in anything except islamic religion must go to a western university.
When their oil money finally dries up, they will have nothing to show for it except a whole lot of pissed off people who have been taught to hate.
Unfortunately, our electoral system does not have a "throw the bums out and replace them with good, solid human beings" lever. So, with due respect, your analysis doesn't actually help us do anything about the situation.
Of course I don't blame the workers for the fraud. You are simply looking for the best opportunity possible for yourself and your family. Immigrants are what makes this country great. We attract the best and the brightest. Most end up staying permanently (if possible).
A side benefit is the large number of Indian immigrants in my area has made it very easy to get excellent curry!
The report was written by one person who was selected by a Democrat who is a major foe of Palin. Calling it a "committee report" is a fallacy. My guess as to why the report was released. The conclusion was so mild and NOT damning that they saw less harm in releasing it than from blocking it. Considering the one-sidedness of the news reporting this election, the headlines would have read, "Republicans Bury Damning Report!" Followed by all kinds of far-fetched guesses as to its content.
This is really a non-issue that the news is trying to turn into a big deal.
Buried in the troopergate report is a sentence that says what she did was within her constitutional powers. The ethics law she supposedly violated is written so broadly that ordering lunch could be a violation. Basically, any decision made is considered a violation if it makes you happy.
Anyone else in her position would have done the same thing, so I won't fault her for that. Her politics, on the other hand, are way too religiously conservative for my taste.
I've tried every variation of that without success. The only difference is I left notifications enabled since I still want all alerts to go to the default contact group. I'm using version 3.0.1. Perhaps a bug fixed in the latest?
That's similar to what I've been doing. When I said ten lines to define a new host, I misspoke. It's actually one more line than you used because I always define an alias, too.
One thing I haven't worked out a simple solution for. There is not simple way to override the notification group, so I have to define a whole new template for every single service check if I don't want to use the default group. Perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious?
I still have all the configuration files from the very first nagios system I set up. It's to remind me of how badly things will turn out if you don't know what you are doing.

When they ask you what good are you, turn off the servers and go home early. Turn off your cell phone too.
This lesson in life might have negative repercussions, so you might want to update your resume.
Do you know this for a fact or did you just hear he wrote racist stuff? I have read many of his articles and not one of them was racist.

Google on the subject and be amazed.

A typo, it should say, "will not hesitate for second to kill an insurgent"

Hey, she's cute. I wonder if she would like to take advantage of a middle-aged American geek who has a weakness for Central European accents?
It looks like everybody is missing the most important part of this article. The computer geek in question is a SHE!!!1!!!!~
We need photos.

Typical. All the ingredients for making WOMD are found, and the response is always, "no proof."
I guess the only proof that would have been acceptable would be for a nuke to have gone off.
Not trying to buy yellowcake. Already bought the stuff, 550 metric tons, in fact: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334/

I respectfully refer you to our 2nd Amendment.
Of course I don't blame the workers for the fraud. You are simply looking for the best opportunity possible for yourself and your family. Immigrants are what makes this country great. We attract the best and the brightest. Most end up staying permanently (if possible).
A side benefit is the large number of Indian immigrants in my area has made it very easy to get excellent curry!
Turned out to be an error in my serviceesclation configuration. Stupid me. It works perfectly now.

Yep, I turned on regexp. I've since turned it off as it didn't work and regexp can have some unexpected side-effects I wish to avoid.
