no contradiction, the local police are not the federal government. power not explicitly given to the federal government are reserved to the the states, or the people
MAD is of no relevance when one side has no means to destroy the other, or not even destroy a major city of the other. You're using a term of strategic warfare that doesn't apply since one side has no strategic weapons
MAD is when two comparable nuclear powers are prepared to destroy each other. the few fission firecrackers, not missile deployable, of NK can not destroy even one major city of the USA. The U.S. arsenal of thousands of weapons can be delivered to any inhabitable part of the earth
may not be effective, some bacteria can take massive dose. if 800 rem can kill a human, 90,000 a cockroach, consider that some bacteria can take 3 million. of course, there are fragile ones that are killed at 100 rem too.
those scenarios you posed have already happened. rogue tank drivers were killed by police without military being involved.
we already have proper procedure for enemies attacking on U.S. soil. we do NOT have a constitutional basis for killing U.S. citizens without due process.
This is not about "drone paranoia" but an out-of-control government asserting it has right to kill its citizens without trial.
bullshit. what makes you think a bunch of power and money grubbing scum in the pockets of billionaires have to have their words on paper followed all the time every time. fuck them. their words are not morality, their words are not ethics. their words do not have your interests in mind, only theirs.
a person could hold the opinion that Microsoft's.NET 4.5 is state of the art, but how could a partial implementation of the 4.0 version (of three years ago), missing crucial libraries, of the framework be a state of anything but half-assedness?
I was more disturbed by the mention of "lent data" from ground based telescopes, which sounds like certain kinds of data collection were given up until Easter.
he would infest Linux with Microsoft poison, but Apple won't allow that. What other pools could he piss in? I think he should join Oracle or IBM and crap up Java Server EE, nothing of value would be lost
I'm finding your response a joke too, because the USA in the past has had enemies invading and fighting. It's happened in every century of the USA's existence. A fighter had better damn well be able to fully function in US airspace.
funny how you think the USA will somehow forever be beyond the need to fight within its own borders, because that's never happened to a major world power in all of history.....HAH!
there is no way in hell any serious money making company is going to entrust their data to the cloud. the security of the cloud varies from questionable to outright bad, the availability of even of the most robust providers isn't 100%, and there is always the question of what happens in the event the cloud provider merges or gets aquired or goes bankrupt or gets the SEC or other fed agency coming down on them like a ton of bricks.
Instead, for non-developers, if you want to keep your IT job, get one or more of these skills or stay current with them, think of it as "private cloud" skills if that suites you:
1. virtualization software, both server and desktop 2. storage / SAN 3. network engineering 4. backup / archival / HSM 5. DBMS and related softwares 6. end user device management 7. telephony
we passed the point of "machines deciding what to kill" in the 13th century, too bad you missed it. I'm referring to land mines in the Song Dynasty,a pin released falling weight that pulled via cord a flint wheel sparking system. Being heavy enough, and stepping in a designated place to fire the booby trap was the deciding factor.

want heft? get the hefty one: they make different models of "model m", my 122 key one with 24 function keys weighs 6 lbs.
I spilled a coke in mine but sprayed it from a garden hose and let it dry for five days. that was in the late 90s I think, still going....

I am not speaking of all laws, just recent ones.
the laws against *stealing* were made long ago by people actually interested in how others should be treated.. we're not talking about stealing.
What use is case law against an un-findable PC running Mac OSX? useless.
many types of Clostridium and tetanus bacteria can take 90 percent alcohol solution for *hours*
we've already discovered life in this universe, probability is 100%

eh, Cinnamon team had to fork GNOME shell and make changes, so Cinnamon could be useable UI. it has left GNOME3 behind.
a person could hold the opinion that Microsoft's .NET 4.5 is state of the art, but how could a partial implementation of the 4.0 version (of three years ago), missing crucial libraries, of the framework be a state of anything but half-assedness?
so what?
I was more disturbed by the mention of "lent data" from ground based telescopes, which sounds like certain kinds of data collection were given up until Easter.
bullshit, it's a very incomplete .NET 4.0 missing huge parts of the framework. and let's not forget Moonlight, now dead.
incomplete system like that is fit only for a trainwreck of a project, like say GNOME3
you can run it on your PC; Apple doesn't like it but you can do it

IBM didn't miss the small OS, they made one jointly with Microsoft. It was used in ATM and cash registers and telephone PBX for over 14 years.

he scares the crap out of me, mostly because he continues the bush-cheney agenda
