Ok, so the US Constitution (Article 1, Section 9) states: "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."
In your grandiosity, you confer the privileges of Habeas Corpus on anybody, for any reason. Then when that Constitution priviledge is disputed (at the very least) on the basis of the people in question being rebels trying to negatively affect the safety of US Citizens, you disagree there too. Let alone the questionable nationality of many of them.
Well, at least that logic gives you another reason to Blame Bush(tm).
The Islamist goal? I suspect 99.9% of the Islamic community would disagree with you. I think you mean the Islamic terrorist's goal.
Ignorance is bliss to you? What you have stated is about as accurate as saying 50% of people posting on internet forums are using Linux as a desktop. Either might sound good to you, but both figures are off by at least factor of ten. At this point, you might want to look into the variety of web metrics companies that report consistently on this subject... Google W3Counter sometime.
There is so much reporting on Islamic extremism, I've even found Slashdot a Star Wars themed source:
I installed the IntelliAdmin patch on thirty Windows 2000 workstations yesterday, and they display correct time now, even the three that were left on overnight, without a reboot. I am in the US, CST.
I also patched two Windows 2000 servers with the official MS patch (via cisco support contract), which are fine. The 2003 server was already patched, and the exchange 2003 patches and tools worked without a hitch.
Altogether, I had zero problems with the IntelliAdmin patch "working", although the dynamic dst tables would have been nice, but that doesn't matter in that environment. Yours may very.
Your assertion that everyone else is screwed because you had a problem is simply wrong and alarmist.
Thanks for pointing that out; regression testing is important of course.
Par for the course even.
I didn't mean to conflate 'user patches' with people with development skills providing a port, I perhaps wrongly assumed most people looking to use some package on sourceforge with QNX or some other specialized system had some basic development skills. Call me crazy.
Gee, you'd think if a project was interesting/useful enough to be valuable on a second or nth platform, the users of that platform could supply some patches.
I've been porting things between win32 and linux for years with some BeOS and MacOS ports along the way. Not exactly rocket science, get a grip.
We can't Congress to be transparent in the process of who votes for bill revisions such as earmarks or some other types of amendments AFAIK. Try getting those initial steps worked out first (right), then talk about pushing meaningful revision control.
For them, I'm guessing this idea ranks right up there with allowing more CSPAN cameras, databases on attendance (+other metrics), term limits, etc. If we get a bill addressing this topic, I'm sure it's title will match the concept far more than the content.
Another class idea that will be promptly ignored by the cretins more interested in personal power than public service.
Just a point: after scanning through the majority of the comments, it bothers me that hardly anybody...
...thinks that Ubuntu supporting two of the three major 3D/video GPU vendors on the market by default is important.
...thinks that supporting the second largest consumer desktop CPU platform (PowerPC of course) isn't feasible for one of the most popular home linux distros.
Think about that, really. Definitively valid reasons to post the article to Slashdot, and the best people can do is rationalize away decisions that most people would consider steps backwords?
Come on already! This is not ok/acceptable-- a help wanted sign, maybe!
"We made it way harder for guys to do exploits," said Mr. Gates. "The number [of exploits] will be way less because we've done some dramatic things [to improve security] in the code base. Apple hasn't done any of those things."
In another portion of the interview, he added, "Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."
Microsoft needs a public shaming for the sorry state of Windows security that allows millions of these zombie machines to exist. I don't blame Joe User, sorry. No holy wars about security; statements that user should do x, y, z and be as smart as me, etc.
Ok, then. Explain to us why most EMR/PMS vendors choose explicitly not to implement HL7?
Hint: They don't truly desire interoperability. It increases competition and reduces their vendor lock-in ability.
That, and HL7 is an interface specification, not a format of what data must be present in a record or not.
Any unique health record product (X) while likely require a custom interface to unique product (Y). Brilliant!
As a (noteworthy) sidebar, EMR is in use by less than 20% of medical practices outside hospitals in the US due to a variety of reasons, a few being:
1. Huge initial investment (most cases, for a proven product) 2. Complete retraining of staff/new focus on IT that many are not ready for 3. Lack of useful standardization (the new Gov CCHIT standards are, well, try *speaking* the acronym) 4. NO INTEROPERABILITY/CONVERSION TO ANY OTHER SYSTEM
See the forums at http://www.emrupdate.com/ --> MDs who have been working on electronic health records and data management; using and implementing these systems; debating them since most/. readers were in knappies. Many new docs out of residency go there to see the state of things (one demographic) and get a system recommended/suggested to them. CEOs or official spokespeople of decent EMR vendors post in public defending / debating their $0 to $30k-$250K+ system. Not many places like it in the world. Check it out if you work in the field.
The is you don't think interoperability and standardization are good (ie, drive down costs, save time, foster competition) please stay far away from public office or the voting booth. Debate how to do it, but to advocate duplication of efforts and lack of consistency in medicine in one country, let alone across the EU is pretty shocking and short-sighted.
With less than 50 employees, most running custom business software and Office 2003, explain to me again why I need to upgrade the company OS and hardware to run Vista (XP offers us eye candy, basically)?
Our employees browse with Firefox 2, have the latest anti-virus, patches, and are behind a decent FortiNet appliance with IPS.
We added a server node (for the first time in four years), with Win2003 + Exchange (what the boss wants), a Cisco VOIP phone system (and a PTP T1 to our second location) instead of throwing money in the toilet vis-a-vis unproductive client OS revisions and new hardware, which we don't benefit from! I guess I'm in the minority IT guys left that likes/gets perks from being able to replace parts, HDs, RAM, a decent P4/K8+mobo (cheap) without reactivating windows or buying a packaged system from HP or Dell and reconfiguring/decrapifying that.
I'm more interested in our process of interfacing diverse testing equipment, vital to our business, to an integrated database/interface than worrying about the latest Redmond marketing pitch. That's innovative.
This is a shameless appeal for some coders with HDDVD or BluRay drives to come out of the Slashdot woodwork and finish what muslix64 started. He said he will not finish the AACS decryption tool beyond where it stands, and it has some some serious problems:
The plain fact the the comment by 'phantomlord' was not moderated +5, Informative belies the sad slant Slashdot has. Can't people deal with facts and honesty in a greater proportion than the political FUD and lies that get modded up?
TFA points out that Senator David Vitter (R-LA) proposed Amendment 7, which criminalized blogosphere non-filing, which could be seen as a ploy to kill Section 220 altogether by making it more 'newsworthy'.
Vitter simultaneously supports Amendment 20 which would k-line Section 220 entirely, thus supporting above theory...
So WHO (or whom) originally wrote the offensive Section 220??? The donkeys or the elephants?
