If your kid is incapable of hurting himself with the toys he owns, he will not learn proper self-restraint.
Yes, but if he is capable of hurting himself with the toys he owns, he may not make it to adulthood. OK, my original post wasn't a fair comparison, but I just wanted to point out that usually laws exist for good reasons.
Zxern, the cash went to whom it was directed by the powers that were. Don't blame Blackwater for a Civil Servant's actions.
While I was in Iraq, I met someone who delivered a brand new BMW M7 with more than $100K to a tribal sheik. Personally, I'd rather he kept it than some third world thug.
Look, I don't approve of trigger happiness, but I know an ass-kicker when I see one.
All bank robberies would be utter failures if Blackwater, DynCorp, or Triple Canopy were providing security. There's a big difference between your average rent-a-cop and a highly proficient, former military combat arms, security operative.
Probably because the servers are located in a commercial and not a government facility. They probably don't want to go through the hassle and cost of getting a NIPRNET circuit, which is somewhat ironic because this is a DISA effort (the same people who run NIPRNET).
I would like to see open source applications that would replace all of the legacy, proprietary applications. DoD is loaded with very badly written applications that usually can only be changed by giving the same companies that produced them more money. Notice I said "changed" and not "improved".
I've been in the US Army and I've worked with the US Army for a few years, and I've never seen anyone punished (Article 15 or court martial, or even a counseling statement) for an Information Security violation.
The Army should ask for the return of the MP3 player (and pay for it), find out who put the files on it, and punish them. I don't expect that to happen.
At the cost of hundreds of thousands of civilian Japanese lives.
Did you notice that was the last time that Japan attacked anyone? Peace is the result of completely removing your enemy's capacity or desire to wage war. Sad, but true.
It's easy to say that, but those memos had been streaming in for a long time, and frankly, there's damned near nothing that you can do to proactively prevent such a vague threat, apart from appeasing the people making the threats.
How about assassinating them? Bush is a big fan of preemptive strikes, so why didn't he authorize one against Bin Laden?
I'm conservative, but I'm very glad to see that administration finally leave.
Simple solutions don't create new Agencies and don't give bureaucrats more power and more money. The problem occurred because "civil servants" failed to do their jobs. The best way to restore faith in the markets would be to quickly convict those that committed these frauds, seize their assets, and ban them and the bureaucrats that failed to do their jobs from ever holding a position of public trust, in corporate management, or in finance.
After seeing the rampant fraud committed by the global financial elite, I'm very inclined to agree with you. What we need isn't just a number that quantifies risk, but also a number that quantifies trust.
I would pay for a service that tracks every person involved in business that was ever convicted, under indictment, or subject of a complaint. It should also track which firms employed them and where they are working now. It should also cover which "civil servants" were "on watch" at the time.
So, how long before Microsoft has to beg to Congress for a bailout?
"No one will buy our products ever since the Zune Fiasco! Give us money! WA WA WA!"
OK, it's flamebait, but this one can't go unanswered - What about the casting flaw in the cylinder heads of Saturns? Or the clutch assembly and slave cylinder of Jeep YJ models?
You can argue that these are an insufficient number of examples. For a more complete picture, you can download all of the manufacturer recalls and complaints from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and compare.
Are you going to do some work to back up your position or are you just going to continue to act like an ass?

Yeah! Bring back Lawn Darts!

Won't somebody please think of the kids!

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
Well, one million Neapolitans haven't figured that out yet.
It already does, as does the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of State, etc. Hiring him would be superfluous.
I googled my name and found 3 obituaries.
No, they didn't. Actually, the "Paleocons" did. There are big differences between Paleocons and Neocons.

.4% is 1 in 250.

A game machine has a plurality of targets which unpredictably come out and disappear...
Sounds like a counter-insurgency.
Mark my works: Peace will break out in the Middle East...
Yeah, a Carthaginian Peace.
Of course it will only be used for reading technical magazines, especially the wall mounted model.

Ironically, it's more useful than the entire collection of blogs that they stored.
