The Department of the Treasury runs the Secret Service.
Which sub-branch of the executive body a particular government organization is under is really only an artifact of what sounded like a good fit at the time it was created.
I'd guess the problem here is that someone feels that the FBI is too full of bureaucracy and politics to do an effective job.
Raise your hand if you don't think the biggest problem with our government is the massive inert body of career bureaucrats. But you'd better be prepared with an answer in case you're called on.
And to all you free thinkers out there, that's not the problem, and if it were, there's already a solution
You're getting your PC mixed up. It was only the Taliban that mistreated women (and not because they were homosexuals -- they were, but that's not why the mistreated women.)
Arabs are the most progressive womens libbers in the world. Don't you know that there was an anecdote by a white guy about Muslim laws of the 8th century that granted women divorces. See, Mohammed's first lady friend was a divorcee, so Islam is the religion of womens rights.
I guess they're influence isn't felt by us at all, because you don't read that tripe, and neither do I. Well, except Cervantes, and only little bits. And Chaucer in Freshman English.
until you go and have a gay marriage shut up about it.
You'll get married, have a wife, and procreate just like everyone else. Refusing to accept reality in the legal system is not just stupid, it's insane.
Just because there are a few hundred gay "couples" who are reported on having lived together out of hundreds of millions of people. (that's on in a million statistics, in case you're stupid) of people doesn't change what marriage means.
Do you know why Socrates was forced to drink the hemlock? It was for corrupting the youth -- as a mentor. And it was Plato (using Socrates voice) who said that queerness was true love.
it sounds to me like Tannenbaum meant whatever disparagement he could, both to Linus directly and Linux as a system. He refused to comment, except under pressure, about "the Brown Book" even though he knew what was said in it and gave his implicit approval, because the book was still under "embargo" -- meaning it wasn't on the shelves in the Netherlands yet, not that there was any legal holdup or non-disclosure, or possibility that he would leak material that could potentially be banned.
I'll take all the problems we have with a thousand acres and opportunity instead of all the problems we have with an overpriced apartment to rent and my job being outsourced to India where there are a billion people willing to work for food.
So we have failed at democracy and happiness. Do you agree that America was *almost* a success? What did we do right? Ask why did we almost succeed instead of why did we fail.
Here's one theory. Freedom, not democracy, bred happiness. Democracy was a symptom of freedom. How did freedom come to exist in America instead of Europe? Because it was not Europe. It was *away* from Europe.
Someone said "My freedom ends where your nose begins." If you didn't like the system in Europe you could leave. If you didn't like the system in America you could move west.
Now America is getting crowded. People feel that we need more restrictions, in order for democracy to continue. Freedom is willingly surrendered for the 'good of the many.' That sounds noble, but it's putting the symptom first.
So the solution to our 'problems' here is room for expansion. If you don't like muslim fanaticism, go away from it. If you don't like christian values, go away from it. If you don't like an oppressive propaganda regime, and all it's brainwashed masses, go away from them.
Freedom.
And wealth. Wealth comes from freedom.
Everyone but the Aztecs thought that the Spaniards were a better alternative. And the Aztecs were the minority. You didn't know that Cortes' 500 men had 1 million Injun allies, did you?
Java isn't slow but JSP is. Telll me one JSP server that properly caches, or can remain up and stable for more than a week. So you have slow startup combined with short lifetime. That really sucks.

Japanese cars were better than American cars in the 1980s because their factories were built in the 1950s to 1970s and the american factories were built in the 1920s to 1940s
how is a management job not already management? And isn't an administrator a type of manager?
Sheesh.
I read the whole article on "What is Configuration Management?" and all I got out of it was that it "is both a management discipline and a process" -- which means that you're not a manager, and there is no process. In short, it's a buzzword role designed to sell you something. I mean sell you nothing.
Hungarian Notation doesn't "force" anything (unless someone wrote a preprocessor to do it, which somebody probably has.) That's the problem!
Hungarian Notation is ambigous, error prone, and entirely up to the programmer to enforce.
It won't affect any laws. If you want the federal government to change a law, you sue the United States. It's always been that way. This ashcroft crap is just stupid media propoganda. Why don't they say "Dickless vs. Christianity" unless they have another reason to hate Ashcroft than his religious beliefs.
I don't know if I would trust storing diffs of binary files (like media) in version control. It seems better to have them complete. (being able to diff, ie. checksum, is different though. I can't think of a reason, except what if there's a bug?
But my real reason for commenting is to say, thanks for the sig.

It is because North Korea is the World's Largest Producer of Communist Chinese Allies and they have Chinese missles with US technology that can Nuke (Nucularize) Seattle.
Computer Associates paid $40 million dollars to the Canopy Group and in return received "indemnification" from legal action by SCO concerning Linux. Those are the facts. We still don't know what the separate legal settlement between Canopy Group and Computer Associates was.

1. Admit when he doesn't know something 2. Restate what he is told without distorting it too much.
Dell, HP, and Apple are going to fall even harder behind open source in response, if this isn't just Gates and McNealy blowing steam.
No one ever had an intellectual conversation and a hard on at the same time. So the gay bit is out of the equation.
