Bush could really do well for the country if he were to sieze the moment and make an appeal for developing nuclear powerplants in the name of national security.
US: If we don't develop space weapons you won't either, deal? China: Deal! Russia: Deal!
China and Russia then develops space warfare technology secretly and the next time war breaks out (which could very likely be precipritated by the fact that they will now have a technological advantage over us), they'll be able to send up their space weapons which are years ahead because we squandered our technological advantage by sitting on our hands.
Suggesting that we should not develop a space warfare capability is more than foolish, it could very likely be our downfall.
If you RTFA you'll see electronic attacking a sattelite is exactly the kind of warfare the USAF hopes to engage in space. Not destroying, and exactly for the reasons that you stated.
The Pentagon does not control what scientists are paid nor do they control the tax code. I think the Pentagon has it right. The impact that they will get from 20 movies that glorify science (say 2 released a year for the next ten years) will be greater than dispersing that same money amongst existing scientists. It's sort of like the PC videogame America's Army and how the Army correctly siezed the opportunity to produce a quality FPS which glorifies life as a solider.
Everyone is claiming that parent is wrong because MAC filtering presents another layer of security that can weed out a percentage of individuals.
What they fail to realize is that if the hacker is smart enough to break WPA, then MAC filtering is useless because any hacker smart enough to break WPA is smart enough to break MAC filtering.
Kids won't buy such a preposterous storyline and laugh at your movie. Ten hot women come out and start cooing over Billy? Come on now. It's almost as silly as your idea that one movie can save science. The Pentagon correctly recognizes it needs to continuously fund these kind of films if they want it to have any sort of impact.
The proper acronym for command and control is C2. Not C&C. Add comunications to that and you get C3. Add computers to that and you get C4. Add intelligence to that and you get C4i.
I know what you mean. In fact, I'm in the exact same situation. I left college cause I wasn't motivated. But since joining the military I've found a new motivation to excel in everything I do. Also since joining the military I've become very impatient with people who tell me about their "hard times." So I'm looking forward getting back into school once I'm out, and I'm looking forward to kicking ass.
Six major professional societies in the United States--the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American Psychiatric Association--recently concluded that "the data point overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children."
I orignally wrote this in response to the criticisms on Democrats for wanting to carry an investigation into the 2004 election. My response however focuses on Diebold, so it's related to this discussion.
The issue of election integrity is bigger than the Kerry Bush race. For the first time in the history of this democracy, we are trusting electronic tabulating machines to count votes in a presidential race. Machines which reknown computer scientists and cryptologists have proven to be insecureanduntrustworthy.
In addition to being insecure and untrustworthy these machines left no "paper trail", no way of verifying the machine's count in a recount. When you have no paper trail, the only tool to investigate the integrity of a machine count is that of statistics, as Berkeley researchers were forced to rely upon when they concluded that voting irregularities lead them to believe 260,000 votes were invalidly awarded to Bush. In fact when 4,258 votes were awarded by a Diebold machine to Bush in Franklin County, Ohio we only knew that result had to be wrong because only 638 voters had casted ballots. Unfortunately this wasn't an isolated event as Diebold has stirred a string of such voting irregularities. According to Bob Fitrakis:
Due to computer flaws and vote shifting, there were numerous reports across Ohio of extremely troublesome electronic errors during the voting process and in the counting. In Youngstown, there were more than two-dozen Election Day reports of machines that switched or shifted on-screen displays of a vote for Kerry to a vote for Bush. In Cleveland, there were three precincts in which minor third-party candidates received 86, 92 and 98 percent of the vote respectively, an outcome completely out of synch with the rest of the state (a similar thing occurred during the contested election in Florida, 2000). This class of error points to more than machine malfunction, suggesting instead that votes are being electronically shifted from one candidate to another in the voting and counting stage.
All reported errors favored Bush over Kerry.
Which leads us to question the integrity of the election especially when the exit polls were so clearly in favor of Kerry.
The CEO of Diebold has made no attempt to hide his support for Bush. Ironically, he has publically stated that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year". Later he stated it was a mistake to have said that, he meant it as an American, not as the CEO of a corporation that was contracted to count votes in Ohio. The CEO however isn't the only one to be painted with a big brush of suspicious, as at least five convicted felons secured management positions in his company. One of which served time in a Washington state correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files in a scheme that "involved a high degree of sophistication and planning."
In my response I have analyzed the integrity of the Ohio election through the prisim of electronic voting, others have made other arguments regarding why they think an investigation is warranted as I can assure you the problems with Diebold is not limited to Ohio nor is electronic voting the only "irregularity" in Ohio [1][2]
It has always surprised me how easily people accepted the media's statistics, which the media loves to spit out at every opportunity. It lends "credibility" to their stories.
Oh well. At least we have the government looking out for us.

So parent was right. MAC filtering is useless.

You mean they meant, one one leet-eth.
Uh right... because kidnappings and muggings have never transpired prior to this invention of chip implants.

Yes he does. He has a responsibility to his share holders to turn profits. The best way to ensure profit is by diversifying his sources of revenue.
Why innovate when you can just rip off Microsoft?
It'll "just work".
It was elaborated on slashdot once before.
This is why I contribute.

I'm betting they can't.
