It was 20 frickin' years ago, and he was going (or about to go) through a divorce.
Him being a Democrat, I'm sure he's Evil in a dozen other ways, but unless he still snoops on a regular (or even occasional) basis, this is one item to give him a pass on.
Am I the only one to notice that a Thermos Bottle (aka Dewar flask) insulated with solid hydrogen isn't, by definition, a Thermos Bottle, since a Thermos Bottle requires a vacuum and solid hydrogen isn't?
assuming Flash and Adobe Reader vulnerabilities allow code to be executed like in Windows
Native code (which is what your comment implies, and means you'd have to "know your target", have 3 different payloads -- one each for Windows, OSX and Linux -- and a very intelligent installer), or interpreted code running in the Flash engine which would go away as soon as you close your browser (which I rarely do)?
There's a business for you and a CPA: create a GIS-style database, continuously updated, that determines the sales tax rates of every address in the country. License it, along with an API, to Big Internet, like NewEgg and Amazon, and as SaaS to small companies.
In Louisiana, there are also Water Districts and Levee Districts, which overlap county boundaries and almost certainly overlap zip code boundaries.
The constantly changing tax rates, plus constantly changing exception lists, makes management a nightmare.
But a jillion national brand brick-and-mortar companies (Walmart, Home Depot, Sears, JCPenney, etc, etc) know how to do it, so Amazon and NewEgg can figure out how to do it.
it probably takes more than a week to gather all the fuel to launch a satellite into orbit
This must be THE STUPIDEST POST I'VE EVER READ ON/., since it's beyond the capabilities of your pea brain that Industrial Man hasn't yet figured out simple stuff like pipelines and staging areas.
Not only that, but they have the inane thought that a planet 1/40th of the distance from Mercury to Sol might actually be habitable because "a red dwarf... is significantly more than three hundred times cooler than our own", neglecting the inverse square law, and that it would be red light, not the rainbow spectrum we require.
Slashdot Mirror
his moral character permits this kind of abuse, and so it may likely be permitted again.
Do you also think that video games and books should be banned, because they cause children to have bad thoughts?
to come up with some dirt on him that will give Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) political cover

I'd never do it in a DP shop, though...
to say that using cocaine is worse than the violation of personal privacy is just silly.
No, it's not.
We know what cocaine does to the CNS, but "violating personal privacy" is really ambiguous, spanning a wide range of offenses.
Actions have consequences.
What then, if he was disciplined 19.5 years ago, thus having "paid his debt to society"?

Are there Flash-based keyloggers or bots?
No, silly. It's George W Bush! Or Dick Cheney. But probably Halliburton. Maybe the coal industry??

Can someone please explain this sports analogy with a car analogy so I can understand it?
Which is better, Toyota (who's cars never fail) or the local mechanic (who's a whiz at instantly diagnosing and fixing Chevys)?

We appear to be opposed to the construction of the additional transmission capability that it would require.
Certainly not I!!!
It's the latte drinkers, Ted Kennedy hypocrites, and idiotic do-gooder lawyers preventing the work.
now women can get men to stare at their chest

It might if irregardless was actually a word.
Normalcy didn't exist until the 1850s, even though normality was 150 years older. (I'd never heard of normalcy until U.S. History class...)
