Nope, this is generally done with head-hunters and other suitable recruiters.
The problem with that is that, if you employ people who is good on whatever non-political issue, but is by itself non political, your government adversaries will screw him because the poor guy won't know how to "defend".
This is in part what happened to the people Vicente Fox put as secretaries when he entered (I know first hand account of the tourism and environment delegates cases).
"For the set of countries A that have more taxes and less freedom compared to the set of countries B which have less taxes (than A) and more freedom, more taxes means less freedom".
As a Mexican, I also do not seem to understand this fixation in mixing religion and politics.
But then, what could you expect of a country whose currency states "In God We Trust".
Of course, I am from a country were the state and church have tried to be separated since the beginning of the constitution of the republic (even though we are one of the countries with more catholics in the world).
I just re-started developing web pages (last time I did it is when.NET and (win/web)forms was just getting out), and my personal experience so far has been that IE7 plain sucks.
After developing 3 full blown websites (MVC from DB to CSS, 2 of them using CodeIgniter) I have come to understand all those rants (from web designers) I read in these 5 or 6 years I stopped "web-developing".
Every darn IE version is broken, and the worst thing is that the developers even know it and they "enable" patches (conditional comments).
Making a web design compatible with IE (even IE7) is a pain in the ass. Even when your page is 100% XHTML validated.
Sorry for this rant. I just had to spit it out somewhere and this story and place is the most appropiate (given the level of anti-Microsoft sentiment in slashdot:)
Just read this post from someone which seems to be a Konfabulator developer.
I liked these tidbits:
Part of the issue with linux is all the different desktop environments. If we do this, weâ(TM)ll pick exactly one and focus on that. We wonâ(TM)t dilute our effort. and
the real fun part wonâ(TM)t necessarily be bringing the engine over and the windowing,itâ(TM)ll likely be the more esoteric things like measuring battery life/wireless in a standard way. But linux and the word standard donâ(TM)t generally seem to go together. Of course, I would say the desktop envieronment of choice would be KDE... since Konfabultaor Konforms Kuite Korrectly to the naming Konventions.
They take technology that exists in lots of other places, and put it in a prettier package. OSX is nice, but it's BSD with pretty graphics.
I do not have *any* apple product (I am not their market) but I think the multitouch mouse with gestures in personal computers was a first.
Now just give a look at the recent news (at news.google.com) and you will see how Microsoft is all multitouch and stuff. Of course all they are doing is promising vapourware for the upcoming Windows 7 which as with Longhorn, we know it won't have all the technology they are currently hyping (I'm looking at you "three pillars")
So, just because the author views disagree with your's you claim that the raised points are FUD? You should take a bit of a look at the writer's background. I think he is the kind of person who *might* just know about what he is talking about...
Ed's academic credentials include experience as both an Adjunct Professor and Lecturer in electrical engineering at Boston University, where he taught classes in circuit theory and dynamic systems theory. He was a Fellow of the National Science Foundation and has also been a faculty member for both the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education IP Program and Suffolk University Law Schoolâ(TM)s Advanced Legal Studies Program. Ed has taught a Suffolk Advanced Legal Studies course entitled Maximizing Business Value From IP. However, feel free to point me to a place where shows that "Stanistani" has some kind of law degree and experience in IP law (no, trolling in slashdot stories does not count).
Reading the rest of the article, the author does not seem to understand the basis of the GPL, and he engages in needless scaremongering.
Typical GPL zealot reaction "Oh noes! you don't understand GPL! you are teh suckzorz!!!"
The fact is that the GPL v3 does have its implications and that such implications become treats to any company willing to use software under such license.
The solution to that is just to stop using such programs, or LEARN about the risks that using them exposes. And that is what the paper is about.
Of course, I did not expect such objective reactions from slashdot...
And it won't ever get any such penetration until there are good tools for packaging Firefox + add-ons in an MSI. Before anyone flames about MSI being Windows only,
It would be enough for me if such kind of thing existed even if it was not a MSI installer. One of the things I hate most is having to hunt for extensions every time I need to install Firefox on a machine.
I am not, if you think a minute about such "traps", they are effectively achieving* their goal, which is to make people slow down in the corresponding area. The government does not care if people know where such "traps" are, as long as they respect the speed limits. It is actually a win-win situation. People thing they are "sticking it to the man" and at the same time they obbey the stated speed limits.
*Teh interwebs is broken, I just searched in google for "achieving" too check the spelling and the first hit is "achieving female orgasm"... *sigh*
That does not surprise me at all. I heard somewhere that the Barclays CEO (or manager or whatever is the name of the chief) say that Barclays (a UK bank) preferred non-UK PhD graduates because PhDs from the UK where very immature and lacked several skills compared to PhDs from other countries.
Unless you are a Mexican (or Canadian) and you get one of those NAFTA special visas. I know, I might consider apply for one... if only I liked the USA system a bit:P
Of course, I know you are better without a bean eater Mexican (for all the trolls out there... that is the typical answer I get in slashdot when posting something like that:)

Pants, the answer is pants. Remember, Pants are still optional, but recommended for you.
You have to wait till the pills-over-IP protocol RFC is published and implemented...
Or you could just use RFC 1149 and send them as an attachment.
p.s. To mods: who the heck modded parent flamebait. You need to get a new sense of humour.
No indication that hacking actually requires work.
Wardialing FTW!
Or let's make it still more explicit.

The solution is to buy a Wii, Xbox or Playstation 3.
And install Linux in their machines

Apple is innovating?

That is why one of the first games available are Solitaire and minesweeper.

No, the phrase you are looking for is "throw weapons at the problem"
I would post that as an "ask slashdot" unfortunately, it would never be accepted :(
OMG Michael Largent is my hero!
Now, that would be worth the PMITA prison hehe...
Well... they could go even lower and look it in the wikipedia
