''That's fantastic. It's a great relief,'' said former Ambassador Richard Carlson, who helped raise millions for Libby's defense fund. ''Scooter Libby did not deserve to go to prison and I'm glad the president had the courage to do this.''
If I was in need of defense, would anyone raise money for me to pay for legal counsel? How could I prove my self innocence irregardless of being falsely accused or not. This statement enrages me more than the pardon!
You only have 14 days to get out of at&t contract if you created a new one with the iPhone data plan. If the phone is open you "may" be charge a 10% restocking fee - but I saw this waved for a customer while I was in the store.
This quote from the article particularly bothered me:
""It's a small sample," said Art Kranzley, an executive with MasterCard. "This is almost akin to somebody standing up in the theater and yelling, 'Fire!' because somebody lit a cigarette.""
I thought smoking was banned from theaters 'for the children'. Smoky the bear would be upset too. Who cares HOW SMALL the sample is; the issue still needs addressed. That 'little cigarette' could cause a 'fire', and shouldn't be allowed in the first place! As much as I am against some governmental overlording, this is an appropriate time for the government to in act legislations to require credit comapnies to safe guard against this sort of danger.
How can the logs show any consept of "time spent". They can only show hits, or am I missing something. I leave webpages open all day, but only read them briefly. How can these logs distingish these two facts?
This is Slashdot; geeks live here. More specifically, geeks that have computers (with USB ports even). Consider the market for this though! What about those people that watch DVD's and don't own a computer? This technology must list hardware requirements for use just like your favorite new fangled game. Sigh.
Get a good patent lawyer. I was in the process of patenting this same thing several years ago. My patent attorney was horrible though. Charge way to much, and did way to little. He didn't file for over a year. After this designer filed we decided to drop the issue instead of trying to go through litigation. Ironically, the PIC they use is the same that I use at work.
If this product does several of the features intended with my design, it will be a very benificial product indeed.
Am I the only one that noticed that, backwards..
Senate's National Security Surveillance Act
could stand for ass national security
see you in guantanamo prison.
I graduated in 2003 with a BS in Computer Engineering and a BS in Software Engineering.
During my studies I proposed multiple times to do an independent study of the history of the computer field to count for 3 credits of my general electives. I was denied every time, even with support from the head the Engineering department. The liberal arts department continually stated that the purpose of the electives is to gain breath in knowledge. I finally took a (very interesting) class on Greek mythology.
I agree with the premise of increasing knowledge, but not the implementation. The college should encourage independent research when a student can blend his primary interests to meet a "credit based requirement".
What are your thoughts?
Understanding history of your profession should be as important as understanding your culture and your history. Your profession will become a part of who you are as well! Without context, you're clueless.
Question: Can Outsourcing Save Jobs in the USA?
I am not trying to definitively say yes or know to this question...that is up to those posing the questions to let others haggle over.
The one scenario that cam to my mind was this: A firm with previous negative gains for several quarters, struggling to stay competitive and afloat, out-sources to another country. Over the next several quarters the firm begins to show positive gains. In this case, the outsourced jobs were lost, but the rest of the employees in the US still maintain jobs. I guess this is an old case of "do the ends justify the means"?
An OS that is secure has more of a chance to be heuristically easy-to-use, than one that isn't. The goal of the OS is to provide functionality to the user. If the OS provides a means for someone to inflict damage to another without protecting them then certain users are leveraging some of the usability to make the system harder to use for others. I term this "anti-usability". In this regard the functionality of a system should protect the user while allowing them to utilize all the functions necessary to complete his or her tasks in a proficient manner.
An easy-to-use OS can gain popularity. This popularity does not bring insecurity. It is actually those with the most knowledge of the system's workings that threaten the security of the system. These few are the ones that threaten the security of the rest, [name your social analogy here]. A large user base does not mean are large population of deviants.
When designing an OS, an application, a weapon, or a can-opener, its important to keep those who are affected in mind. If the product is easy to use (ignoring distribution, market-ploy etc) then more and more people will use it. If the product is "anti-usable" then the product will be used in a more and more nefarious manner.
If the system has a high easy-of-use (and possibly wide spread use) and a high "anti-use", then the system can negatively affect those that use the system for its original intent. It lays on the shoulders of the designer then to ensure that the system can only be used in a manner consistent with its original intent.

It's not that I don't like PDFs, it's just that I hate loading Adobe into a Firefox tab.
Is it possible to indicate that the link is to a PDF similar to how links in the comments explicitly display link sources for "safety".
GREAT!! Now I can make Lego pieces instead of paying the very very high price for a set! Will Lego now need to license their interlocking mechanism?
BUT the iPhone is only supported by Cingular!
Just goes to show you that my networking professor's t-shirt is still valid.

Ship a bunch of drives physically, and you will get faster (and more reliable and secure) data transfer.

You must hate politicians then!
from CNN.com: For his part, Yankovic tends to credit the Internet. "The ("Nerdy") video has gotten a lot of attention, and the proliferation of places like YouTube (has) been a big help," he says. full article http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/23/music. yankovic.reut/index.htmlhere.

I read thiss headline twice as anti-privacy, and it made perfect sense!
AM I the only one that see that replacing Parent with Government and Child with Citizen provides insight of other issues discussed on /.?
