Maybe Hans Reiser can give him the name of his attorney.
There were MANY here who claimed Reiser was innocent, and many who saw his guilt were modded into oblivion. By original sub 100,000 ID became so heavily loaded with Bad Karma for pointing out Reiser's bullshit, I had to walk away from it.
But what do you know? Reiser plead guilty and led them to the body.
Next up, these idiots would post as Anon Cowards about how Nina Reiser had brought it on herself...

You folks do understand that beyond the discussion about the silly "War On Drugs", this guy Ulbricht tried to hire hit men to kill a few people?
You were very careful. You never pointed out that the use of military attack drones in civilian neighborhoods is a war crime, nor that Guantanamo Bay is a basic human rights violation, nor that what we refer to as "terrorist attack" is what we've been funding as "freedom fighters" for the last 200 years in other countries. Try writing any of *those* verifiably correct claims under your real name and rank, and see if you can even track the re-entry flare of your career being dumped into the ocean and the explosive bolts on the hatch being blown to prevent possible recovery.
How do you know that? If you are assuming that I have not criticized Iraq One and Two, and their architect, you're incorrect.
May I introduce you to the Saturn V Dynamic Test Stand?
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985, which is really too bad since it in no longer much use to any modern space programs, and sits unused and badly rusting. The could tear it down, but will not be able to until it starts falling apart itself.
The TSA must be a "different" kind of organization than that which I work for, the United States Air Force. I have written many "letters to the editor" under my real name on many topics that expose my generally Socialist bent and strong anti-authoritarian opinions. Yet, I have never been "admonished", and I recently had my security clearance extended for another 10 years after the standard Security Clearance Anal Probe.
I think the TSA is a "different" kind of US government agency, one that need to go.
The military is cutting troops, not re-enlisting them. Exactly. Right now is more difficult than ever for both officers and enlisted to "stay it" unless they are "top performers". The US military is downsizing by substantial numbers (and this is a good thing).
In the USAF (my employer - I'm a former Active Duty civilian), Operational Flying and the career fields that support it are doing quite well, and those that fail to make Major or have some other issue are pushed to UAVs. But yes, as some Lt or Captain in a bunker, you might want to plan an "after-USAF" career. We'll probably always have nukes, but it's a small career field getting smaller with no analog on the "outside".
The simple reality is that most people create very basic documents and don't need much more than a basic text editor with fonts and spell check.
"Most people" don't do a lot of word processing, period. Many of those who work in offices are not part of that group.
For those who do a lot of word processing, Open Office and its children and clones simply is not up to the job.
As well, many here seem to detest the "ribbon" menu, and assume this is universal because their circle of friends similarly loves Open Office and hate the "ribbon". But again, this group is not representative of the majority of heavy "office suite" users.
Principals work for the Administration and whatever political flavor the current Administration is pushing. Good teachers work for the students, because they enjoy teaching and see a value in making chuildren smarter.
Of course if you have a religious ("Intelligent Design") bent or a politically correct bent (one must never admit that "Negro" was a word spoken in the English language - http://www.theroot.com/article... ), a heavy handed Principle is a good thing.
It's easy to talk of "bad teachers" and say that unions keep them employed. But the truth is that "bad teachers" are the minority. Unions keep more "good teachers" employed at a livable wage than "bad teachers".
It is normal that the minority get the spotlight, just as it is normal that the Chihuahua barks the loudest.
Well, there is a *grain* of truth in the post I'm objecting to. Some pilots take non-flying staff jobs later in their careers for a few years, but these are senior folks who wouldn't be doing much flying anyway. And, some younger pilots have other career issues that take them out of the "seat". But the majority of USAF pilots fly training or operational missions several times a month not counting simulator time, which is much more extensive than civilian pilots. For our airframe here at McChord, our aircrew fly 10 day missions into the AOR (shit-holes like Shank, Bagram, Kandahar, what have you) with a week or so off here at Home Station, and than out again for more of the same.
This will significantly uptick in 2014 as we pull out of Afghanistan - try to get as much of our crap out as possible - and than things should quiet down a bit unless some politician (or General Dynamics lobbyist) gets us into another war.
In practical terms, no, the operational Air Force is anything *but* made up of experienced pilots. You have a significant fraction that are relatively new (less than two or three years experience). You also have a significant fraction that have (within a year or so) just returned from non-flying duties.
I disagree. But hey, I've only worked in operational flying for the USAF for around 20 years. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yet another reason to move to pilotless planes. Drones don't need training, they just need to be programmed.
*Some* drones are pilot-less, mostly high altitude reconesonce drones. *Most* US drones in fact have qualified pilots at the controls, sitting in control rooms at places like Creech Air Force Base, outside of Las Vegas. Creech is both a training / testing base for drones, as well as a Command and Control location where actual pilots sit in rooms controlling drones in "real-time".
Greed = Make enough money to keep the place running and pay the salaries of the people saying that money is not important. Desire for Attention = Attract visitors, and educate people about what happened there.
Pretty much. If they can't get endowments from rich people, the money has to come from somewhere. Just maintaining buildings of that vintage is a spendy proposition, where does the cash come from?
Sure, turning it into a "tourist trap" is short-sighted, but they have to develop a realistic plan to generate money for operating expenses.
By the way, I wonder if it's possible to have a letter post-marked from their "secret" post office...
Your argument is very good. But also consider the possibility that the Indians are simply manipulating Russia and the US to their advantage? It's like Company X publicly announcing they will dump their entire Microsoft IT infrastructure for Linux - until Microsoft offers them a sweet deal. Perhaps they are simply playing Russia against the US for better arms deals?
Slashdot Mirror
dear god what's happening to the slashdot UI???
From the email I just recieved, it's a "done deal". Which means that after many years, I will no longer be visiting Slashdot.
Goodbye Slashdot...

You're only directed to the Beta site if you're not logged in.
One would think that a Slashdot visitor with a half million ID would be smart enough to figure that out.
This would have been awesome back in the days of Punk...
Heck, there isn't even a coca-cola.us
There may not be a site at coca-cola.us, but it does "exist", Coca Cola owns it.

And, the open source clones of Excel simply suck.
Your reactionary comment confirms your status as an Ayn Rand Paul Coo Coo Nut.
Except cheap laser printers are roughly the same cost as cheap ink-jet printers at about $50.
"Cheap" color laser printers are a bit more than $50.
Doesn't matter. They're a sizeable minority.
In your opinion.
Unfortunately, for those who have the opportunity, getting promoted requires not wasting time flying airplanes.
I dispute this and suggest you are not a very good captain.
I work with *many* regular everyday officers of O3 and up. If you have an issue making O4, perhaps that's *your* issue.
No, the "astonishing" thing is that right wing Ayn Rand Paul Coo Coo Nuts like you are able to reproduce.
Enhancing the role of the principal as a "coach" rather than a paperwork pusher, disciplinarian, or fund raiser is first.
Like this "Principal"?

By the way, that 500 million works out to around 17-20K an hour for our C17.
But in any case, your numbers are not accurate in terms of training dollars spent.
No.
Last year McChord spent over 500 million on gas and ground servicing, over half of which was for local training.
That pilot sitting at his desk can't defect without the guy next to him finding out though. If he flies the drone to the enemy he doesn't go with it.
What an meaningless and asinine comment.
