How often is no accepted? While I've got no evidence to back me up, I'm willing to bet that the majority of cases of refusal of permission end up with the cop in some way "causing" himself to perceive reasonable suspicion, and searching anyway.
Hassling someone enough is bound to provoke him to get nervous or agitated, and then he's "acting suspicious". Then get him worked up enough to contradict a statement he's made, and somehow twist it into reasonable suspicion.
You wouldn't hear about cases where someone who got his car searched like that *didn't* have something illegal in his car, because most people won't speak up.
And the government publishes crap about pot being a gateway drug and all other sorts of stuff. Bush says that Saddam's looking for yellowcake. Rove does all kinds of nasty shit. The Catholic Church says people can go to hell for masturbating.
Of all the problems out there in this world, this ranks on my list well below farts that turn out not to be all-gas.
Does it matter if a memoir is faked? If it's not doing things like falsely accusing someone of being a child molester, what the fuck does it really matter?
Boo hoo a lot of housewives were duped.
I'm sure someone will mod this down as a troll, but besides some fucked up sense of security, what was harmed?
Well, if you see ID for what it really is, a front for religion, mightn't finding intelligent life well outside the scope of religion (which talks about man on earth as being God's little LEGO guys) pull a bit of the rug out from the ID folks?
The benefits of tagging for a company like Yahoo come from the ability to use the tagging to derive the meaning of a page. Tagging will help Yahoo refine Yahoo search results and also suggest similar sites. The problem with it is that it's really got to be protected from abuse, or like meta keywords in the page, it'll be abused to the point where it's not reliable for anything, and will be largely ignored.
Am I the only one who read that as "Internet Firms Raise Capital" at first, then were confused when the summary said things about Washington? VC. DC. It's all too confusing for a geek drinking alone on a Saturday night!
If he's speaking on behalf of NASA, he should be speaking about the science, not policy. If it were a matter of something else NASA does causing the effects, fine.
Whether or not I agree with him is irrelevant. The FA certainly sounds like there's a silencing going on. Hell, even if everyone in NASA were good guys, there would still be some level of censorship because they depend on funding that they won't get if they shoot their mouths off about policy.
Making something doesn't give you the rights to associated intellectual property. Think about patents. You could make something that's covered under one or more valid patents, but that doesn't negate the patent-holder's rights to the design/process, nor give you rights to the design/process.
I've not seen Microsoft admit fault with previous versions, they just say that the new ones are better. There's no contrition. And I *did* specify "and be trusted".
That said, XP *has* been considerably more stable than 9x, as they said it would be...
I'm all for upgrading things to newer versions to enhance security. Secure by design should be the default, and if someone fessed up and said, "Hey, we fucked up last time, but we got it right this time", and could be trusted, then it wouldn't be extortionist of them to try this.
But we've all seen how Trustworthy Computing didn't really change things. New products came through that obviously weren't vetted, and plenty of legacy problems remained. I don't know who's really going to buy Vista because they'll believe the security "threat" perpetuated by MS.
There are a few factors which have influenced whether or not my employers have sought to provide training.
1) Contractual obligations -- working for a service provider can lead to training because of contracts requiring a certain level of certification. HP hired me for a services position and trained me to the level required. They hired me because they knew I was good, and attaining the certification wouldn't be a problem.
2) Managers vs. Bosses mentality -- managers look to enable you to get things done, bosses think it's their job to tell you what to do. After the contractually-required training and certification were done, I found little support beyond my immediate manager to make funds available for training. There were some online courses, but I'm a very aural person, and need to resolve inconsistencies in my understanding quickly, by asking questions. Contrasting that with my current employer, my manager sees me as something closer to a peer. I help him to get done what he needs to have done, and he helps me to do my job. I've earned his respect. Both of us know we're unlikely to still be working for the same company in five years, and he's willing to help me get trained both for the fact that it'll help me get more done *and* because he knows that I have aspirations that he'd like to help me fulfill. Luckily, the line upwards from him to the CIO also value and respect me. I enrich myself in various ways, learning on my own, and they supplement in areas where it's going to be a lot easier to be in a class.
3) Subject area -- it also helps that the current training is for Oracle, considered by plenty of people to be a black box. Windows training/certification doesn't get respect. I've not done it, so I'll not comment upon its actual value.
4) Company economic health -- working for a heavily indebted company like a telecom I worked for, as well as when HP was sliding under Carly, makes companies look to cut expenses even where it's not sensible. It's cheaper to train someone who'll get value out of the training than to hire someone for the specific skill, particularly when you look at how people will fit into the corporate culture. It took my current employer quite a while to hire a Sr. Network Engineer because so many of the people just didn't seem like they'd fit into the company (high growth) because of personality, willingness to deal with the growing pains, and so on.
As much as I sometimes hate my job for its encroachments upon my own time, being respected by my peers and management has helped incredibly in my job satisfaction and my willingness to give of that time. In return, I'm rewarded by training. Which, of course, will increase the amounts of time I end up giving to the company, probably, which will increase the respect.
I'll let you know how I feel after bonuses are handed out next month, though.;)
I got an invite to the ACLU, who's currently running this campaign is apparently buying mailing lists from the public radio station I support. Compiling lists of data from non-customers/members for abuse while blaming other people for the problem isn't exclusive to the spyware industry.
Make people responsible for their own lives. Make people deal with the consequences. But having the government take money from people to then pay it out on their behalf later makes no sense.
Because 1) it just won't be there for them anyway, and 2) people then expect to be taken care of.
Don't just worry about the possibility of criminal prosecution or even enemy combatant detention... worry about the fact that if information about you is collected, sorted, and has anything others might perceive as negative, all it takes is a bad seed releasing the information to various parties to fuck you over.
If you've got a Born Again boss and you've been perusing a sacriligious website, or something that might mean that you're gay or had an abortion...
How hard would it be to bribe (or social engineer) some $30k/year civil servant into giving up info about you?
While I don't relish the thought of hearing people chattering away on their phones while waiting for a train, the idea of being able to reach people I'm trying to meet up with sounds good. Especially when going outside to get service means being out in the rain.

If only they could infuse the teeth with a fresh, minty taste and scent!
Would this process affect the coloration of the teeth?
It'd really suck to lock in any staining...

Even a good, strong Belgian tends to top out at 12-15%. All beer is mostly water, silly.
If it were BSD based, would it be GooS/X?
The I/O performance of a petabox is just *slightly* lower than a DMX-3.
This box, and the software used to manage it, make it considerably more useful than a petabox.

Better get in on some Halliburton stock now so you'll be able to afford your new home on Mars!

What's a NASA guy doing giving talks about earth-bound motor vehicles and the technologies to use?

Minimum wage laws refer to people making an hourly wage, "non-management" workers.

Because
1) it just won't be there for them anyway, and
2) people then expect to be taken care of.
That in no way encourages responsibility.
It means that people can see how it's done and try modifying it, instead of just running a binary.
In the same way that having the source can be good when used in positive ways, you've got to admit that it's also bad when used in negative ways.
Don't just worry about the possibility of criminal prosecution or even enemy combatant detention... worry about the fact that if information about you is collected, sorted, and has anything others might perceive as negative, all it takes is a bad seed releasing the information to various parties to fuck you over.
