So because Wikileaks asked the Pentagon for help in disclosing classified documents, and the Pentagon declined, this *absolves* Wikileaks of any responsibility for the outcome of the publication of these documents? No, that's not realistic. That's stupid.
Wikileaks is high on their idology, huffing and puffing about moral high ground, well the fact is the addition of many names to the Taliban's Hit List are Wikileaks responsibility. They can't pass it off, they and they alone are responsible for these deaths that will certainly happen.
My point is that this "leak" has very little real value *in changing the way Americans think about the war*, and those that *DO* care, already knew or assumed this stuff. The only *actual* outcome will be additions to the Taliban Hit List.
The problem is, thus far these leaks of U.S. "secrets" have revealed *NOTHING* that anyone with eyes and common sense did not already know. Except the names of those sources that are surly now on someone's "death list". In fact, nothing at all other than the possibility of these sources being murdered has come of the "leak" at all.
Note that the operation was shut down and the people involved are likely going to have problems starting up a new scam now that they've got this record.
Bullshit.
These clowns *ALREADY* have a record of scamming, and it hasn't stopped them yet. There is no realistic reason to assume that a 10k fine means anything at all to them.
Constant picture taking of the average persons property is considered harassment
So I can sue the private non-government sat picture folks? It is a fact that they are constantly taking pictures of my property (along with billions of others).
...don't they know that Steve Jobs wants to control their lives?
Yes, I know it's a joke...
But as much as Apple wants to control their product every bit as much - and perhaps more - than Microsoft, the big difference is that Apple gets a lot more things right in terms of desktop usability and security.
..that military security automatically scans their machines and networks for classified documents in the wrong locations
What with? Some super secret super computer that has hashes of every classified document ever produced? Come on...
The reason is simple and non-mysterious.
There is SIPERNET and NIPERNET, and they wanting to contaminate NIPERNET with classified material (which this stuff still is). As well, yes, in the US Military, you must possess the correct clearance to view certain classifications. That's just the way it is and isn't a new rule.
Real problem #4: Retail software distribution is anachronistic
Retail distrobution is only anachronistic if you buy into the idea that living in your mom's basement and playing games 20 hours a day is a life. But for many people, the Game Shop is / was a place to "socialize"
One Indie developer has written a nuanced article on a how software piracy affects him, approaching the issue from the opposite direction. He lists the ways in which the widespread piracy of PC games helps him
It helps *him* because otherwise very few people would play his games, as very few people would pay money for them.
Seriously, if people are not *PAYING* for your games, any distro is good distro. On the other hand, if you sell your games for money, obviously if people are pirating your games, you're not making money on them, and this is not good for you.
And, Wikipedia will not need an Internet conx, so what ever version it is will soon be stale. When they discover that Abraham Lincoln was a Jewish meat-cutter on Staten Island who liked hardcore punk, the people surfing Wikipedia on this thing will remain ignorant.
I would hazard to guess that it's pretty much impossible to go to traditional brick & mortar school "full time" (12 credits/semester I believe) and hold down a full time 40 hr job, family or no family.
I graduated from UW, carrying 12 credits a quarter, and worked full time. I was (and am) married. Yes, it was tough, but it's *not* impossible.
Well what they should tell you is that you HAVE to have a family to do it because you have to have people who can do everything else in your life for you besides, eat, sleep, work, and study.
And this is different from a "real" school how? If you go to school full time and also work, yes, you have no time for a life. Been there, done that.

Here, let me summarize: It's like sex.
And hey, that's really nothing at all, right?
You know very well that's not how I meant it, but hey, if you want to be a reactionary and ignore my point, I expect it.

Pretty much. The idea that anyone would go to Twitter for "experts" is, well, staggering. Twitter content it pretty much Twaddle.
So, you will have a fleeting connection as the cab whips by, dropping of a fare outside your $2000 a month NYC hovel...
No, but seriously, educate me: how will someone maintain a connection when the access point is always moving?

This guy makes so much money, he could fart $20 bills every 5 minutes forever and still die filthy rich.
He doesn't need a job.

I was never an officer, just a senior noncom.
Given how you write and what you say, I'm pretty sure you were NEVER a senior NCO.

Unfortunately for him his crotch bulge on the big screen in 3d will be even more pathetic than it is in real life.
I'd like to see that! Bieber in nothing but a pair of tighty-whities with an erection... OMFG!!!!
Icy cunt.

This is a simple case of theft and harassment. Jail for the perp,
RTFA. It may not be that simple. The guy works for a call center in India, not Dell in Texas.
You may be right. I'm in my 40's so I probably remember the game shop that doesn't exist anymore.
I doubt most of these people bashing Perl have never even seen any Perl code written in the last 4 years.
Exactly.

Would it require spacemen? Much of this stuff is "tiny". What about some automated or controlled from ground craft that looks like a lage-mouth bass?
