Former members of PNAC are now members of FPI. Indeed, 3 of the 4 board members of FPI were Romney's foreign policy advisors. Dan Senor (his head foreign policy wonk) said on Meet The Press that we'd unquestionably back Israel in an invasion of Iran. Romney didn't back away from that.

A banana is lower cal, lower sodium, nearly equivalent amount of sugars, twice the fiber, a third the fat (and no bad fat), much more B6, same amount of Riboflavin, and a bunch of extras that are good for you, like a quarter of your daily Potassium requirements. While it doesn't have the same amount of Vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron, you can get that from the rest of your diet.
And the banana is cheaper, by a lot.

An omni-directional treadmill with a good VR headset with decent resolution is probably more expensive than the equipment for either paintball or laser tag, both of which have the best resolution and "simulation of reality" of all.

The only reason corporate IT is slow to upgrade now is that XP (and now Windows 7) is good enough,
Corporate IT is happy with ThinPC, aka Windows Embedded Standard. It's a de-goobered 7. It's not de-goobered enough in my estimation, but that's a matter of taste, I guess. ThinPC SP1 gives you a desktop that users don't have to re-learn, is more amenable to policies from hell (you can even choose not to install IE, for example) and all applications behave as if you have 7. It will probably also have a longer support lifetime than 7.
What I consider de-goobered enough: Windows FLP. I would *love* to see a ThinPC version of Windows trimmed back as far as FLP is. Stick FLP in a VM and Thin PC in a VM, and compare speeds. You'll see what I mean.

The fact that they exploit the free labor of hobbyists doesn't alter the basic crass nature of their activities.
Apple are not "F/OSS developers".
Using this logic, Google, IBM and all the other companies like Redhat leech off of hobby devs and don't pay devs themselves, like Apple pays devs to work on webkit, among other things.
Your post is modded insightful, but it's really a troll and devoid of actual fact.
WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code originally began as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE,[6] and has now been further developed by individuals from KDE, Apple, Google, Nokia, Bitstream, RIM, Igalia, and others.[7] OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, and some other Unix-like operating systems are supported by the project.[8]
No one company has ultimate control over Webkit. If any one company decides to, you'd see a fork and abandonment of the old branch.

What's to stop the targets, and everyone else from simply DROPping their packets at the firewall? Someone up there said that all we really have to do is cut their connection to the 'net. It doesn't have to be a physical disconnection.
DDoS is censorship. The Internet is supposed to route around it.
There is nothing wrong with using the internet as a backup machine - with the caveat that you know what you're doing and you're using the right service/tool properly.
Personally, I have all my very important documents in an encrypted archive labelled "Area_51_Aliens_Proof.rar" with the note "It is dangerous for me to provide the key, but in the event of my death or imprisonment, a key will be provided EXPOSING EVERYTHING!!!" and uploaded to various paranormal bittorrent trackers and mirrored by various denizens of/x/.
I expect my documents to be archived in perpetuity.

Neo-con: a conservative who supports a strong-pro-Israel middle east policy. I don't think Romney had a position either way on that
His whole foreign policy page was *titled* "American Century" and he gave a speech on a "New American Century."

Paintball and laser tag for the non-lethal.

You know, it was a joke, but Julian Assange has a file called "insurance" that is mirrored by a lot of people.
1. Nobody has cracked the archive, even though the payload could be spectacular. It's not like nobody is trying.
2. It really could just be his automobile insurance contract. Nobody knows.
3. Sufficient key length and a strong algorithm /can/ stretch brute-forcing time into "end of the universe" length.
