There were portions of the US Army designed for the job and a training school to give them and others those skills. However Rumsfeld decided to make cutbacks and remove them from the "known knowns" and then pretend later that the expected outcome of not committing enough resources was unknown.
There were plenty of people warning about the outcome. Rumsfeld responded by shutting down one of the army training schools that produced a lot of them. It went to the textbook warning of how not to do it.
Considering how it's already come out that Wolfawitz parked his girlfriend in the State Department on a higher salary than Rice and not under Rice's orders, I wonder if we'll find out some day exactly how much if the State Department Rice was allowed to run.
Maybe she was just a figurehead chosen for maximum PR - which is more of a comment on those who chose here and wasted her abilities than on herself. Unfortunately it could be twenty years before the documents telling the true story are released.
Hillary on the other hand had her fingerprints all over many knives from the leaked cables. Manning has done the United State a patriotic duty by releasing the information that will prevent her from being trusted enough to become President.
I'd say don't use it because there's now someone whose job was reading your mail in charge of it. Simple enough?
Seriously guys, dropbox has had so many problems that it would have failed long ago without the hype. If you are putting anything there that you wouldn't want seen on the front page of a newspaper then you are using it the wrong way.
I'm convinced that the only thing libertarians have in common is they like the sound of the word "liberty". There's some here that would like to being back King George, some that are Stalin style "useful idiots" for the Republicans and others that are outright anarchists.
Theoretically, but from some of the stuff that has come out from Nixon's time there seems to be a lot that never made it past the joint chiefs. If we look at when Carter was in power there was a CIA operation to do a ransom deal with Iran that was kept secret from the executive branch until Reagan was in place - pretty major stuff to come as a surprise.
Anyone that thought the Iraq War was a good idea, should not be described as "pretty sharp"
It was a pretty good deal for some Party donors and probably ensured Bush's re-election. You have to remember that such people have different values and aims to those of the country they are supposed to be working for.
She is female (and black), and promoted to the highest levels
The fly in that ointment is that Wolfawitz's girlfriend was parked in Rice's department, was earning more than Rice and was not under Rice's chain of command.
And I answered in sentence number 3. They were discriminated against for being female - far more so than in other technical professions. The same started to happen to men in teaching as well, the trends were noticed and now very few women even try to get into IT and very few men try to get into classroom teaching. So now both trends are entrenched whether discrimination is happening now or not.
I had that anecdote reinforced not long ago when I went to a presentation about computer networking hardware and the only woman in the room of about 50 IT people was in sales and had no technical background.
The very concept of being on more than prisoner-jailer terms means "friendly and cuddly" compared with the kill on sight borg in the rest of the setting.
Another thing that was far less funny is those women I mentioned could not manage to find jobs in IT despite having the same degree and the same grades as the boys. I've seen proportionally more women in technical roles at mine sites, power stations, foundaries, oil refineries, a steelworks and chemical plants than I have in IT! I'm sure word of sex discrimination got around so less women tried to break into a career that they had little chance of entering.
That such discrimination was going on in the 1990s is very well established with a pile of statistics and court transcripts. Whether it is still going on or not today would be harder to measure than hindsight, but what went on before looks like it did drive those girls away so far less are even attempting to study it these days.
However, my anecdote above shows why I think your "but girls don't like it" suggestion has no merit at all.
No, just like any sort of targetted scholarship so no big deal. They want girls, masons, catholics or whoever the charity is putting up a scholarship for so that's who they pay it to.
However what you seem to be saying is that women are a better fit for indoor jobs at a keyboard than all the males here that just happen to be doing such a sissy job instead of cutting down trees:)
Then it's funny how back in 1987 just over 50% of the introductory computer science subject at the University I went to were female. It was just about the only chance for engineering students like myself to share a classroom with more than two girls. That subject was compulsory for all later programming subjects so the answer was not as simple as not doing it at high school. I don't think it's as simple as the women not liking programming. Women facing a very small chance of being employed in the field is a different story. I think that's one reason the enrolement numbers have declined so much.
Or Kate could just be an idiot and didn't pay attention to what she was reading
Or maybe she just thought it was going to be presented as fiction. Seriously guys, think of how ridiculous many things are in movies - not just science but realism in general.
A truly ridiculous thing about the geocentric view becomes clear when you combine it with the common view of such losers that hell and purgatory is also under the Earth. In some versions of the view Satan is trapped at the very centre of the Earth at the point where hell and purgatory intersect. Thus it can be assumed that these idiots think the entire universe revolves around Satan's arsehole. It's best to run when you've managed to get such an idiot to admit to such a thing:)
The amphibian sex episode between the captain and Paris was the low point but the few dozen episodes I saw were crap no matter who was on the screen. There's no point blaming one actress just as there was no point blaming one actor for all the Wesley stuff in the previous series. They didn't let her run loose and fix bad material with improv like Robin Williams is allowed to do. I never made it as far as 7 of 9 but the very idea of a cute friendly and cuddly borg makes as little sense in that setting as someone deliberately putting a rabid wolverine down their trousers just to keep warm. I only got about as far as where the actress playing the cute elf chick asked to be upgraded to speaking role wages and got fired. That shows what sort of cut price crap it was. Voyager was so bad that it put me off the rest of Deep Space Nine and I never even started on Enterprise.

It was torture when the North Koreans were doing it to US prisoners of war. Please tell me what has changed.

I thought it was best to do so, and especially best to leave out the guy with the mirror.
Until the last 30 years computer programming was considered a women's job as well, data entry more so until far more recently.
And I answered in sentence number 3.

Did you read the "despite having the same degree and the same grades as the boys" above before coming up with such pointless ignorant drivel?
Same here, but it was the other way around a couple of decades back and apparently still like that in the USA.

The anime "I My Me! Strawberry Eggs" had that sort of theme with a guy that had trouble getting a job as a teacher.

Some boys will do it anyway while some sort of effort is required to overcome the "math is too hard" social conditioning acting on the girls.

And we are using Arabic numbers so what is your point exactly?
