Sure has, because we only have FIFTY states. But your point being Russian history goes back beyond American History is correct. As does the history of the Muslims not getting along with everyone else around them. The current Muslim terrorists are just the modern manifestation of the same issues that arose in the 1400's and caused the Crusades.
The failure rate is not what you quote. It's slghtly better. There is a firm (Standish Group)that keep statistics (CHAOS report) on the failure rates of software projects. As of 2006 only 35 completed on time and on budget and meet user requirements. However only 19% were outright failures. "Success" is different in every company so these numbers could be biased. In any other industry failing 65% of the time would be a quick way out of business.
Great job of IGNORING info that casts bad on your buddy Bill Clinton. Past acts have EVERYTHING to do with what goes on. It's Executive Privilege and it's been used since the first few Presidents. Name me ANY Administration in the past 100 years that has not had an issue with Congress or the Public over some assertion of such privilege? It's become an unwritten law used by both parties to get things they want that Congress won't pass or the Courts won't allow.
How do you know this is our most advanced prop? Could be 8 blades is the best now, and this is an old design.
I looked at ALL angles and there ARE no shadows, there is not an exact time of day printed on the photo. You don't know the angle of the photo either. You need both of those to compute size from shadows.
Disinformation is very common, this might well be exactly that. We did a lot of that during the Cold War. We'd "leak" secrets to the Soviets that they jumped on, spent millions to check out only to find out we changed an essential part of the data (or left it out) and the design wouldn't work. We'd also then know the characteristics of the design (and it's weaknesses) if it was deployed.
The boomer and hunter boat projects are black as midnight during a new moon. There is NO WAY this data is real. A security violation of that magnitude would result in dismissals, etc. which you'd hear about in the press. Remember all the fuss over the missing hard drives from Los Alamos? The noise would be at least that high.
Damn, people have frigging short memories. Go back to Clinton and his coverups of the White House travel office and the death of Mr Foster, the Rose Law firm records, Whitewater, failing to secure Osama when he was offered, the Chinese Communists and convicted felons being on his big donor list, selling the Lincoln bedroom to big donors. the non-prosecution of Sandy "Burglar" for taking classified documents from the National Archives (clinton justice dept appointees would not file charges even with GWB in power), allowing sensitive technology to be exported to China (so it can be sold to anyone with cash). Go back to Reagan and Iran-Contra, go back to Nixon and Watergate, go back to Kennedy and Bay of Pigs, LBJ and "no troops in Vietnam". It's part and parcel of Presidential Politics.
Terrorists need money (you think the arms dealers GIVE away weapons because they LIKE the "cause"??) and it had been pre-9/11 that they were using the International banking system to move money from one "business" or "Charity" to another. They looked like legit transactions until you traced the wires back. So, IMHO, the monitoring of International Banking is part of protecting National Security.
These Governments that are "allowing" this to happen are playing the system. If the CIA/NSA finds some nasty info on a EU citizen they'll turn it over to the authorities to prosecute. This gets around the EU laws of privacy as the EU authority didn't violate anything, they were acting on a "tip" that was given to them by someone not bound by the same rules. So, you see it benefits the EU Governments as well but they can't say that in public as they'd pay hell. So they push out info to inflame public opinion about the "nasty Americans" looking at your bank data, when behind your back they are happy the US is doing so. All politicians, regardless of EU, USA or other are two faced. It's their nature.
Same shit, different day. Dada has been puffing his ideas on/. for about 5 yrs now. With only 6 degrees of separation between any two people in the world, and/. being the #1 techie site on the 'Net we should have gotten some confirmation by now that he is legit and the system works. Folks on/. have called him out several times as have others and he then runs and hides. He's a troll. He hopes to sucker in new people every few months.
I had a Sprint phone that would not recognize it was in Arizona in the Summer. AZ in the Summer is the same as West Coast time (AZ doesn't "Spring forward") so my cell time was off by an hour. The cell company swore to me that was not possible. Other folks on the network had the right time, and my phone was set to Network for time.
They can bring up what they want. The Republicans should then bring out the things about Hillary & Bill like selling out to the ChiComms, renting the Lincoln Bedroom, etc. You can say all you want but Hillary was co-president and she made the calls on a lot of things. And Obama isn't as clean as snow. You want to play that game you'd better be damn sure you are clean, and I've yet to meet a 100% clean politician of ANY party.
Really? I know for a fact every email coming/going from many.gov addresses is not 100% captured and archived. And for that matter a hell of a lot of things the Gov't does never sees the light of day and I'm not talking just about things related to National Security.
360 reviews are NOT expensive and they DO work. Just make sure you are truly anonymous. I got in deep sh*t about one where I slammed my manager. They dug thru the MS-Word file and found the initials I used when I installed Word and traced it back. All-hands meetings can be good and bad. They should take 1-2 hours max. Yearly official reviews are pretty standard, as are mid-year progress reviews. I think it helps to know where you stand with your Management.
you may not like the things they make but how does that invalidate they may have a Great IT department that people actually ENJOY working at? That's really really bad logic.
Oh get off the f*cking Haliburton horse. It's dead and buried and there never was a horse to begin with.
I think some of this "finding" may be true but the one instance cited here "The RNC has e-mail records for Brad Smith, an executive assistant in the Office of Political Affairs, for the period between January 10, 2007, and April 27, 2007. During this period, Mr. Smith sent 6,954 e-mails and received 9,812 e-mails, for an average of 217 per weekday." brings up questions of how they counted. If someone can send 217 emails in one day that is freaking amazing. They must be counting CC's or people on a mailing list. That would be ONE email with multiple people, not say 20 emails.
Using the RNC accounts during and after the elections to discuss political strategy seems OK to me. I'd rather either party didn't use Gov't resources to plan political activities. It's also NOT always poltical business when you email someone at a ".gov" address. I have friends at NASA and other agencies I often communicate with just to see how they are and they have ".gov" emails. This smells like much ado about nothing.
If you want to talk about destroying valuable records related to an investigation, lets talk about what Hillary did with the records from the Rose Law firm in Little Rock. And the records about the last days of Vince Foster.
By the way, a Congressional Subpoena is meaningless, as they have no police powers to enforce compliance. It's more like a sternly worded request. I also question the group that did the study, it's a Democratic hack job group. It's nothing more than trying to throw up a smoke screen to hide the fact that many Americans are starting to wish they had NOT elected Democrats to office last election.
You means Meals Rejected by Everyone? There is a reason every one contains Tabasco, to kill your taste buds with hot so you don't taste it. Besides the cute lil' Robots don't eat.
Many states don't require a "license" to substitute teach. They pay someone about $60-75/day to babysit the kids. I know a retired engineer who subs for Math Teachers on a regular basis.
NT 4.0 was considered trusted for some levels of classified material (SECRET as I recall). I know, I used it. But the Gold Standard is Trusted Solaris.
In the F-16A there was a code problem like this and it was fixed quickly. The F-22 FCS code is a derivative of the F-16 code base, so depending on where they forked it could be there. I doubt the problem occurred in a real flight most likely in a simulator and rumors got started.
So you've never heard of swingers, open marriages, polygamy, polyandry, etc? Humans are one of the rarest of animals that does NOT have multiple partners. The only other animal I can think of that mates for life in the Canada Goose. There are theories that to preserve certain bloodlines in the Jewish nation was why Adultery was banned. I don't know if thats true. I try not to judge other people unless I'm sitting on a jury.
We really can't tell if they do or don't as getting hard data in China is impossible. I think they do. there are NO factory pollution controls in China, fossil fuel (coal, wood) is burned by 99% of the population and it has at least as big an industrial base as the USA. Auto emissions are rising there and falling here. We have a lot more autos but they have a lot more people.
Perhaps the level of intelligent life out there considers us to be about as intelligent as we consider amoeba's? At this time, just discovering LIFE even if it's a bacteria would be significant.
Don't give up on SETI there are new signals coming in all the time that need analysis. Remember we've only been producing electomagnetic signals that could leave Earth for less than 100yrs. If Civilization X got one of our early radio broadcasts which would be incredible in and of itself as weak as the signal would be, they would have to send a reply back (assuming they understand radio) which would take as long to get to Earth as our signal took to get to them. Perhaps they started broadcasting 50 yrs ago in an attempt to find us, we could get that signal any time.
Exactly, and the US emissions pale in comparison to the Chinese and soon the Indian subcontinent. The US is doing better and in some places quite well. Eastern Europe (the old Soviet Bloc) still has serious issues. This is simply Bush bashing. If Clinton/Obama/YourCandidate released the same news you'd be all over it as great news. Go read the Skeptical Environmentalist to show how EVERYONE manipulates data, some even make it up.
Well, I work for EMC now and the talent is not as wide in the service organizations as Sun was but the ones who are sharp are REALLY sharp. Sun does servers really well and Storage about half-assed, EMC does Storage very very well and VMWare is very very good too. I have an ex-Sun Tech support guy who works for me and he's pretty decent..much better than many of the other people I have from EMC.
As a former Sun Sales support guy (PreSales Architect) we loved selling those. About a 500K+ per unit configured modestly. However the EMC Symmetrix wins in cost and also has very good performance.

I agree it's a questionable survey but that doesn't excuse his faulty logic. I know none of the IT companies I have worked for would make the top100.

Sounds like you have a problem with the truth about Hillary. She's a crook, probably more so than Bill.
