A good number of christian denominations don't count Mormons as christians. Mormons don't believe in trinitarianism and that's a pretty basic christian doctrine. Some people say that the original Koran was written in aramaic and it was a christian liturgical text in that form. That doesn't make muslims christians.
If you want to identify with a major news gathering organization that has national/international reach, here are your US choices: ABC CBS NBC PBS CNN Fox MSNBC
When what you want is a parrot but all that's on offer is ducks and chickens, odd choices get made. None of these networks is a comfortable fit for me but Fox is actually the least uncomfortable. It has a much lower rate of slandering people who hold my views than just about any of the networks on offer. That's a pretty powerful recommendation for Fox and a damning indictment for all the major networks.
I am a Catholic, president of the finance committee for my parish, occasional technical consultant for my diocese and frequently write about religious topics on my own blog. The principal is a tool and this has little to do with Catholicism. In fact, it can quite easily be criticized on the grounds of interfering with parental rights (did you see any parental input at all in this policy?) and discouraging evangelization. From a Catholic perspective, this is poor pedagogy and a bad example for our youth.
If I were at this school, I would immediately start a Catholic evangelization blog and provide reflections on my personal religious life. For an extra twist of the knife, I'd call it St Isadore's Shrine. If this is going to go to court, let "religious discrimination" be the grounds for the 1st amendment suit. If the blog didn't get shut down, the school has other problems in that it's not enforcing its rules evenhandedly and providing a bad moral example for the students.
You've got the source You can run it for free If you're looking for a more conventional experience, you can just run Mac OS X Server and get the same technology with a better GUI.
Decent governance is that you can't be expropriated from your property without just compensation because you actually own it instead of just squatting for decades without any security or inheritability. That's a huge problem in Latin America. Decent governance means that if you have an idea and start up a business to make that idea into a product or service nobody comes up to you and blows your brains out or sends you to prison which was a huge problem all over the communist world. Decent governance means that you don't have to pass out bribes like candy to get anything done. There are other things but this should do.
Nothing on my list should twig the sensibilities of anybody who isn't a communist wanna be. All of them are or have been sources of huge destruction or locking up of real wealth. All of them are on the wane for various reasons which means that a lot of people are coming into the world market and they're going to arbitrage out our economic advantage.
We're in the unenviable position of Alice in Wonderland's Red Queen. We too will have to run as fast as we can merely to stay in place. To get ahead, we'll have to run twice as fast as that. That's going to continue to happen so long as these labor imbalances continue to unwind. And unwinding those imbalances is a very good thing. All the messy future scenarios people dream up in national security planning assume that we don't unwind those imbalances and the stresses lead to war, plague, and a host of other very bad things.
I look forward to the day when the general PRC labor price starts to rise. In spots, it's already happening. They're starting to run out of the most exploitable labor resources, young, unattached farm girls moving in to the big city. I suspect we're in the last decade when the "China price" is going to strike fear into the hearts of manufacturers all over the world. The PRC and India are the last big chunks. Everything else from here on in is a smaller pill to swallow.
First, you can mount in Windows. It's net use drive letter: \\server\share
In general, all domain members have administrative shares that can map drives so if you're an admin, you can map any drive in the domain.
You generally can script and automate a windows install. Most Windows software installers come with a cli invocation mode and the ability to include the cd key and other responses to the gui script in a specially named text file you stick in with the installer. You can even remote log in with Microsoft's remote desktop app.
People have done thousands of seats of MS installs with scripting. This isn't new technology.
If Linux was just an alternative, what happens to it in the retail channel simply wouldn't matter. The article is premised on the idea of Linux replacing Windows.
The truth is that pathologically dysfunctional governments have created a huge labor market imbalance. Every time some country starts getting decent governance, that labor market imbalance is going to get unwound with lower 1st world wages (or lower increases than otherwise if we work our tails off increasing productivity) and better 3rd world wages until the imbalance is normalized for the skills/experience gap.
A union doesn't help your skills or your experience. It just cranks up that gap so that the balance point is going to be more jobs over there instead of here. The balance is going to happen one way or another. I'd rather not artificially rase the unemployment rate here by promoting unionization.
There's wage inflation in Indian outsourcing. There's too much work and not enough labor so companies are bidding up salaries for the really good talent. Heck, there's wage inflation in PRC factories lately. When you lower the price of something, you increase demand. That tends to suck up supply. It's as true of Romanian C programmers as it is of soap. Their wages are going to rise in a very nice arbitrage deal for them.
The UK has a local council who just banned Piglet as being insensitive to muslims. France and Germany ban nazi memorabilia. Both France and Italy have gone after Orianna Fallaci over her remarks regarding muslims. While broadcast media does come under some restriction in the US because there is little ability to block out content you don't want your children to see or hear, things are quite a bit more restrictive in the EU over just about everything more important than whether you can hang out your mammary glands for all to see.
Planning to kill the president is a crime. Heck, planning to kill anybody is a crime. Saying the words "kill the president" will get you a visit from some men who will evaluate if you mean it. They are generally large men who have the job of personally intercepting attempts to kill the president and some die of it. Do not expect these people to take such things as a joke. Their own lives are on the line. That said, you can say it. You just can't work towards doing it.
If I understand correctly, the idea is to make it possible, all across the Internet, to deprive a node of traffic by redirecting packets away from it to a look-alike server elsewhere. That's abhorrent.
Map this out for me, would you? The government of Croatia is going to mandate that people point their DNS servers to certain addresses that are not the root addresses in the files. Or is it that the roots that are outside the US will be seized? Please explain how this is going to be anything more than a huge hassle for network administrators to adjust their DNS servers with a large dose of big brother watching over the contents of my DNS configuration file.
Doesn't it bother you that a principle is being established that your computer isn't under your control?
The problem really isn't setting up root servers. Anybody can do it. The problem is in how those root server addresses are going to propagate. I buy a computer. Whose root is my computer going to point to? Is France going to mandate that all of its network administrators change all the country's DNS servers to point to France's root servers? What's the penalty for not changing?
If I make up a root server and have my DNS point to that, ICANN isn't going to come and fine me. If someone in the FRG points to the US root servers after the split, will there be a fine levied over the matter?
As a network administrator, I have a commercial interest in the continued legalization of the Internet. If a candidate were to campaign on shutting down computer networks, his pro-net opponent would likely see a contribution check from me. There's nothing wrong with me supporting my interests by supporting candidates who will likely vote the way I like.
This is a very far cry from "here's ten bucks, now vote line B" as a commercial transaction. If you can't see the difference, you have no idea what democracy is.
You haven't been paying attention. Bush has publicly and repeatedly repudiated 50 years of post WW II realpolitik. He elaborated that we would nudge things, to the limits of our power, all over the world for freedom. We have been doing so and I'm proud of that record. This is going to take a long time but tyrannous regimes all over the world are coming under pressure.
We certainly would still have military bases in Uzbekistan if we had not repudiated realpolitik.
It's quite unlikely that Kemal Ataturk's system would have produced the current government absent an awful lot of US pushing to keep the officers out of politics. Indonesia and Colombia, last I checked, were also representative governments.
Your characterization of Venezuela is so removed from reality that I can't express my contempt sufficiently. Venezuela has lots of problems but Chavez is just making things worse.
The US made a mistake in not running tanks across the barbed wire that eventually became the Berlin Wall. Was it an unintentional mistake? No.
I stand by my words that Israel made a mistake. I am neutral on whether Israel's firing on the Liberty was intentional or the affair was a case of misidentifying the ship. In either case, it remains a mistake and Israel has suffered for it as it rightly should continue to do so.
The US has made significant headway in advancing freedom during the Bush years. Egypt has had elections, Lebanon is free of Syrian troops and on its way to being free of Syrian domination, Ukraine and Georgia are moving forward nicely, Iraq has an elected government, will likely soon have a constitution ratified by free vote, and a few months after that will have a new government elected under that document.
These are not trivial things. They are also not likely to have happened absent the Bush commitment to liberty.
If you think Cotecna gave Kojo Annan a sweetheart job coincidental to their bid for a fat UN contract inspecting food for oil shipments, I've got a bridge to sell you. Kofi swears he didn't know about or intervene on Cotecna's behalf at the time. There's paperwork that's recently come to light of Kofi personally intervening in 1998 in favor of Cotecna. Oops, Kofi's been lying, it seems. So much for UN accountability.

Structured correctly, such a ban could be challenged in ecclesiastical court. It's a Catholic school. We've got our own court system.

Slamming just on Fox is often shorthand for "conservatives suck" in the US.

You might have avoided troll status if you'd have added MSNBC and the National Enquirer. Fox is hardly the only sensationalist media outlet in the US.
