It would create mass confusion - outside the 'big' elections (President, Governor, maybe a Senate or Congressional seat) the local elections would grind to a halt as most people couldn't name either candidate.
You want minimize the effect of ignorant votes - require candidates to complete a simple YEA/NAY survey on the issues - if I had half an idea of where the candidates actually stood my vote would be far more educated. Instead we get inundated with negative campaign odds where we end up choosing the lesser of two evils.

Well my grandmother created a theory and posted it on Wiki. Everyone thought it was great and rated it very highly... damn, I can't find it now.... hold on, lemme look again...
I beg you, assuming you've hit puberty, step away from the keyboard and go interact with other hormone driven people your age. Your young and not hampered by life yet. Without mortgages, credit card payments, kids, car payments, et all you are free. Go skydiving, hitchhike across Europe,... have some fun!
From first hand experience do you mean interviewing and hiring people? With your whole year of PHP programming don't assume you know how the world works just yet. I've worked for fortune 100 companies and I assure you, any intern or high schooler we brought in was destined to re-organize a storage closet or assemble documentation. In a mature IT environment where auditors want to know who has access to code, providing a list of PFYs is not a good idea.
You are correct. Disclosure is a legal/business decision, if the company is public (or has customers in certain states) their hands are tied and they must comply and disclose to either the customer directly or via the mass media. If its a private company with no customers in areas where protective legislation dictates disclosure then it is a discretionary decision.
selling iPods to kids at Best Buy. says the 17 year old kid.
Lets say we give him the benefit of the doubt and put aside the fact that every other 17 years guy is out there chasing 17 year old girls and somehow at 17 he's disillusioned enough with life to already have settled on a career in programming (when recent trends show this work is best dreamt about by 17 year old Indian youth).
My advice, since you're already reading and submitted to/., find an open source project and pour yourself into it. No company is going to have you writing code with no experience/education. Internships means running errands and cleaning so you'd be better off selling iPods to your mates.
They won't care who pays them, your account is behind and the contact information associated to it led them to you. You think they care your job outsourced? It reminds me of a line from the Sopranos
On one hand I think its great they are using an online collaborative solution to bring together different agencies and sharing intelligence. But I'm also concerned that with each agency having their own agenda, budget and staff it could lead to misleading and/or rogue comments be accepted as fact. I hope they do have a rating system for the validity/reliability of information posted to allow analyst the freedom to interpret and place value on differing pieces of data.
Simply put, without China there is little chance of success.
They HAVE to be involved, they are the only ones who seem to have the ear of Kim Jong-il. China provides significant assistance to North Korea and without it their economic slide (read famine) would be much worse then it already is (although, at this time China is keen to keep North Koreans in North Korea rather then pouring over the boarder into China). Kim is till the crux of the issue and when he only gives China 20 minutes notice of a nuclear test, he's straining their relationship.
The only reason to claim a network is not "fair and balanced" is because it doesn't fit your political agenda.
Um, I used the term 'Fair and Balanced' because it was their slogan. It wasn't until I just now visited their site that I realized they changed their slogan to We Report. You Decide.
I watch neither CNN or FNC, I tend to get my news from a variety of sources (mainly online, TV news is useful for local weather forecasts and sometimes not even then).
IMHO, its not about the 'freedom' of speech as much as its about the 'monitoring' of speech. The war on terror gets more difficult if the primary relay points are outside of the Patriot Act's control and sniffery. The only response by America is to fight tooth and nail to release control, and why shouldn't it be? How often do YOU release control of something that allows you to benefit? If the EU or some conglomerate wants to operate outside the US's thumb, starting building a separate network.
Without prompting, three identical computers (regardless of operating system) would be so foreign to a person whose never used a computer they would prolly leave the room.
If you want someone to use technology you have to lead them to it, show them how easy it is, and teach them not to fear it. Your question, or is it an opening to a joke, is irrelevant.
It would depend on how much of the configuration is given to the user. In other solutions (I'm thinking Pointsec in particular) the encryption happens in the BIOS level, once the win32 client is up it writes a recovery file to a defined share. Provided Seagate doesn't put some hidden/drm style 'write back to my secret FTP site', how would they know the key if I get to generate it upon install?
I'm also assuming that his is a Windows only solution (since such things usually own the boot sector, lilo or grub could dust it upon install and re-installing the encryption solution is a Windows executable).
Alienware isn't about selling the steak, its about selling the sizzle. If your review is going to quash my sizzle then you are no longer of use to me. By promoting 'good reviews' it furthers Alienware's ability to sell the sizzle and so on.
As we all know the internet and it's technology is a network of tubes. Painting them green is for ascetics only.
Don't get me wrong, I think its great they strive for a such a thing, but I also think if they were struggling it would be dropped. Where we, as world citizens, need to focus carbon neutrality is in manufacturing and energy. Technology companies always appear ahead of the curve and cutting edge, all those relaxed environments of the dot.com'rs didn't parlay into a revolution as once thought.
Last I checked, there is no rebellion or invasion going on in America. I'm sure your point was focused on 'public safety' and taking the whole 1984 reference a bit further comrade, deep down in your heart of hearts don't you feel the itch that the Ministry of Truth are writing their own history and quoting their own 'facts' to better suite their own needs?
We stopped another 10 terrorist attacks today thanks to the Patriot Act! Yay us. Aren't these the same people who were certain that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and then couldn't find them? Aren't these the same people who KNOW (as well as the world) that N. Korea is a bigger threat but in that case, we prefer diplomacy? I wonder what could be the primary difference in those two situations? Maybe if Americans where consuming billions of barrels of Kimchi things might have played out differently.

The Ministry of Love would like a word with you, take him to room 101 please.
"F you, pay me".
You're not important. Its not, never has been and never will be, about you.
Where are the bad analogies? I specifically seek your posts to bring me some joy in an otherwise mind numbing weekday.
Thank you

1. Fair & Balanced
2. ????
3. Profit
Or something
I'd like to apologize for this post.

Or maybe lifetime supports means you have to keep up with the current version? Oh, nevermind, that'll never fly.
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER Sorry, I'm rereading '1984' and something in your comment struck a chord.
