I agree completely. I have been running Ubuntu in windows 7 under virtual box. I just got another hard drive and I'm going to try the opposite, Running windows 7 under ubuntu in virtual box.
What if a mainstream newspaper publishes parts of them and they are in possession of that newspaper? Many soldiers like having their hometown paper sent to them. Read the Times, go to the brig?
During the Vietnam War, the pentagon papers were then leaked and that helped end that war sooner.
The military and the government were similarly outraged by the pentagon papers. President Nixon argued that the leakers were guilty of treason. The public turned against the war, partly because of what they learned about the war and the reasons we were fighting it. This helped bring the war to an end.
Over 58,000 US soldiers were killed in Vietnam. How many more soldiers’ lives would have been lost had the war not ended when it did? The pentagon papers contributed to the change in American attitudes that forced the politicians to end the war.
Likewise, if because of the wikileaks, we get out of Afghanistan sooner then more American soldiers lives will be saved than lost due to the leaks. It is very likely that wikileaks will actually save lives.
I'm one of those cowardly liberals who think we should get the hell out of there. I don't worry that we will become slaves to the Muslims if we don't kill lots of them. I simply don't agree with you that is what is at stake. I think the time and money could be better spent improving our country and let the Afghanistan people take care of their country. We have installed a corrupt leader there. Why should we fight and die for him?
A long time ago there was a war in Vietnam. We were told that if we didn't fight the communist Vietnamese that the Soviet Union would take over America and we would be their slaves. The communists won. Today we are friends with them. We trade with them. Somehow we never became their slaves.
I enlisted and spent 3 years on active duty. I was not in Vietnam but was in the military during the Vietnam era. In that time I became aware how much brainwashing goes on in the military and from our government. So I am skeptical when they tell me things. Especially something as bizarre as the idea that a small impoverished country like Afghanistan (even with the help of other small countries) could make us their slaves.
I'm glad wikileaks exists. Perhaps we can prevent or shorten wars which will save the lives of soldiers in the long run.
I completely agree. I also intentionally limit my income so as not to put money into to the war machine. This give me a lot of time off in which I can do useful and fun things.
One advantage to no one paying is that then actors would be paid what they are worth. What is it about acting that makes an actor (even a very good one) worth a million dollars for a job? Better we pay that kind of money to farmers or computer programmers!
Who do I vote for if I want not to be involved in ANY foreign wars. For strict regulation of corporations? Who will cut the bloated defense budget by 50%? Who will value working Americans above corporations? Who do I vote for if I want to let the banks fail instead of giving them billions? Who will support single payer medical care? Which candidate or party?
Like most Americans, I vote for the lesser of two weasels. I did write in Kucinich. I sometimes write in one of the dogs when I prefer none of the above.
Consistent production is not a problem when there are multiple sources of electricity. Natural gas powered plants can be run at night and on overcast days and throttled back when solar is producing. No serious person is saying that we should eliminate everything but solar.
The large amount of land needed is not a problem because the best land for solar is in the desert and this is some of the cheapest land available. Rooftops are also available.
You will likely do the same as I will do with my expensive National Instruments PCI cards. Keep an old computer or two around just in case. Last time I checked the NI 7350 card was $2500 and there isn't a PCIe replacement.
It isn't the cost of the card that is the worst, it is the cost of reprogramming, if necessary. Fortunately, I'm the guy who does the programming.
Fox is not a news station but more like a tabloid with a little news thrown in for cover. I don't take what they say seriously.
I use wikipedia often and find it to be a very useful resource. On the whole, wikipedia does a much better job of being "Fair and balanced" that Fox news ever did.
Someone said "I may not be able to define porn but I know it when I see it". I do too and wikipedia isn't porn. It is much farther from porn than the typical TV commercial.
If I am on a jury the sentence matters a lot to me. Say the defendant is accused of downloading a dozen songs with bittorrent. If the fine is $100 I might vote for the fine. On the other hand if the fine is several hundred thousand dollars, I will vote for the defendant, even if I am convinced that he did it.
I know that technically this is not the proper thing to do. But if the punishment is so disproportionate to the crime, I will have to vote my conscience.
Every employee will have deficits. Not only do you have to worry about the one who allows malware to be downloaded. What about an employee who sells valuable trade secrets to competitors or gets the company involved in a lawsuit. You may hire an incompetent employee who screws up things. It seems unlikely that you will be able to hire your entire staff to be competent in computer security.
Teaching employees computer security, beyond a very basic understanding, requires a large investment of time. Hiring computer savvy people means that they are likely to want more money for the added skills. It would be much easier and cheaper to have one competent IT person managing the computers and then let the other employees focus on what they are good at. I am assuming that your computer needs are small enough that you can't justify hiring a full time IT guy.
It isn't clear how your computers are set up or how many there are. Is there a network or just a bunch of computers? How do you handle backups?
Maybe there is a person in your company who knows enough to handle most of the simpler problems. He could handle things like installing programs, maintaining the antivirus software, doing backups and he would have the administrator password. The employee who gets an email attachment to install hot babes (malware) on his computer is likely to think twice if he has to call the IT guy to enter the administrator password. He could be pulled away from his regular job whenever some IT service was needed.
You could also hire a part time IT person. There are a lot of skillful people who are between jobs and would be happy to get a few hours of work a week.
This is a place where a non-certified or non-degreed person can really shine. There are lots of people who are really good with computers and would love to do something like that. Of course you have to be able to decide who is competent to do that job.
Here are some thoughts.
He should be trustworthy. He needs to know how to install software, maintain antivirus software and handle backups. He needs to keep a balance between productivity and security. Some guys get so carried away with security that it is difficult for others to get any work done. Avoid arrogant people. You don’t want the BOFH running your computers. Beware of the guy who knows everything – He is lying to you! Make it clear that you are to have a copy of all administrator passwords – he may leave suddenly. Try to find a person who wants to do this for a long time. Possibly your existing consultant could help with evaluating him.
"And it increases the "dangers of... intellectual and moral relativism," which can lead to "multiple forms of degradation and humiliation" of the essence of a person, and to the "pollution of the spirit."
I thought pollution of the spirit was caused by masturbation! I wish they would get it straight. I'm confused.
The newspapers are already too beholden to politicians. If the government actually bails them out, they will become even more worthless than they are now.

So to stop terrorism we should help engineers get laid.
I think that is a wonderful idea!

Why doesn't he simply release a version with no limitation. He could create a torrent and he would have exactly what he wants.
It is just a marketing gimmick.
The iPad is fine but what I want to know is where can I get a holodeck?
I tried that but I'm still here!

And if he had said. "I think the United states should get out of Iraq and Afghanistan.", what happens then?
Yet as far as I know it is still legal to hold the belief that we should get out of there.
Today they would just waterboard you and save the price of the wrench. (Re: the Xkcd cartoon in parent.)

I watched the food network and I got fat. Do I have a case?
I suspect that her case is weak (she shouldn't have been walking there) so she wants to say "Google said it was OK".
Lawyers tend to include any party even remotely connected to the lawsuit in case.
