Yes, those poor wealthy white Americans addicted to slavery. If only the Spanish hadn't gotten America hooked on the slave trade. Americans are blamed for slavery because *gasp* white America enslaved blacks and treated them like animals and property. Americans are blamed for slavery today because apologist posters like you just don't seem to get it and try to minimize or deny the terrible atrocity.
Maybe they should use Tempurpedic mattress foam. Instead of damaging the shuttle, it would just conform to the shape of the portion it struck, resulting in a night of wonderful sleep for all of Mission Command.
Perhaps something that amplifies the bad effects of propaganda is that our media for the past 7 years stopped doing any investigation and just parrots whatever the White House puts out as its message.
If you doubt this, look no further than embedded reporters, whose symbiotic relationship with US soldiers presented the illegal US aggression against Iraq from the US' viewpoint as a just and moral war (no other basis for the invasion ever existed.)
Now whatever the Government states, the media accepts and promulgates, just like Iran, and the former USSR. Rather than serving as a check against the government, the news media has become an organ of it.
Clinton did not violate the law whereas Bush clearly did, and admitted it on national television. The FISA law before 1995 did not prohibit the Attorney General from conducting warrantless seizures. Janet Reno (agent of Clinton) authorized such a warrantless seizure of Aldrich Aimes home before 1995 for passing secrets to Israel. This seizure was well within the law at the time. Congress subsequently in 1995 then passed a law that prohibited warrantless seizures.
NOTHING under FISA nor any other Congressional authorization or law permits the President to conduct warrantless searches. When Congress was debating the War Authorization Act, Bush tried to first ask and then tried to sneak in a provision allowing the President to bypass FISA, BUT CONGRESS REFUSED. Thus, Congress not only did not give Bush any implied right to bypass FISA, they explicitly rejected it.
So when Bush authorized the NSA to conduct warrantless wiretaps of US citizens, he acted in direct violation of FISA and of the Congress as well as Congressional intent. Who is the judicial activist now, bitch?
This $100 laptop is a great idea, but the justification stated on the website seems a little "creative." You could also argue for any number of modern conveniences that would help children in 3rd world countries, like a $1000 Mercedes using that justification. The bottom line is, people in these countries need food, shelter, clothing and education but more importantly, political stability. It just seems funny with all the problems countries are facing--particularly in Africa--a $100 laptop for every child, though commendable, would not solve.
Marrying Java vs. Just Doing Flash/Perl/PHP

Coding in Java vs. Flash/PHP/Perl the difference between dating a librarian (Java) vs. a cheerleader (Flash/Perl/PHP). Sure the librarian has lots of ideas you can check out, and is intellectually stimulating but who wants to take the time required to get to know all of her libraries before you can do something with her? A cheerleader (Flash) is great to look at, fast and easy to use only once. People marry for java, but they just do PHP/Flash/Perl.
The FA makes no mention of WHY it will cost that much. I don't know anything about IP6, but $75b makes it seem like they plan on rewiring the whole government. The article cites that "one speaker" estimated the cost between $25-$75b. Is the speaker trying to just jack up the price? Perhaps someone can explain what is involved so we can decide if the prices quoted are reasonable.
The only way to convince companies to spend the money to protect consumer data is to make it more expensive for the company not to implement basic safety features by punishing companies monetarily for loss of consumer data such as social security numbers and birth dates on a per consumer or record basis. Other consumer information such as name/telephone number is obviously not as critical and should not be subject to monetary fines/punishment. Every company that stores SS#s or Drivers License or Passport numbers would then have a financial motivation to do everything possible to protect critical consumer information or not use/store it at all. Given all the national security issues, this should be easy to justify since identity theft was identified by the Administration as a national security threat.
As for protecting the company's own information, it should be pretty easy to show the cost of losing the data versus the cost of implementing a security feature. If you notify your boss in writing of the consequences, then if data is breached, he/she will be accountable.

I guess they couldn't hack it.
Nor does it come with an embedded flight simulator like Excel does. Sooo 1990s!

And don't forget SNOOP (SNoop Object Oriented PHP) for the rest of the hip house crowd who doesn't like the Country WASP crowd.
For the rest of us hip hop inclined programmers, there is PHP using HOOD (Hizous Object Oriented Development) in case you get tired of the WASP crowd.
