    That would be nice if most research were done by schools (that publish in those publications). But it isn't and wasn't. Could be a bad thing, but that's the way it was and is.

  2. Re:this is important why? on Crowdsourcing Analysis of the Palin Email Trove · · Score: 1

    If she becomes President, you might want to know of what to beware. Those who laugh and say she could not possibly become president, only need consider that Obama became president, fooling many into thinking he was some kind of "progressive", when in fact he is continuing the Bush/Cheney agenda in every way. Even his health care law continues the cycle of increasing costs by big pharmy and big healthcare chains, and insurance companies increasing profits while acting as doctors in dictating treatment. Clearly, once one gets past certain trivial "hot button" issues, the major parties are both alike, and their candidates equally puppets of those who pay for the agenda.

  3. Re:IMF actions have caused deaths on International Monetary Fund Hit By Cyber Attack · · Score: 2

    Our total obligations are many time GDP, despite the usual old saw you are trying to invoke that only considers "national debt". The nations that are coming to power and that will soon surpass the U.S. in every way have already lost faith in the USA and have begun the move away from the U.S. dollar and U.S. debt holding. More and more countries will lose faith in the dollar and move from U.S. securities and use of the dollar. We are losing, via outsourcing and globalization, the ability to generate real wealth, to add value to real things. Instead our assets are increasingly of the paper kind (stocks, bonds, securities), intellectual property (for the making of real things made offshore), services (necessary as a fraction, but unsustainable if too large a portion). I'm giving a warning as a old fart, the good ship USA is tits up and taking on water, it is going down.

    The Democrats had control and did nothing but continue the "retarded" Republican agenda. Obama might as well be named Bush the 3rd. Besides our insane military spending, there are other longer term obligations that would have to be curtailed too. But I agree with the core of your argument, we could easily pay off the debt if our lawmakers were rational. But instead, they are in the pockets of large corporations including the banking cartel, defense contractors, fossil fuels, etc. so this will not happen. Instead we will collapse economically.

    I don't watch porn on a plane because it would make some people, mostly women, feel like they were being harassed and uncomfortable. Nevertheless your reaction is very telling, you are obsessed with something you think of as "evil" while portrayals of real evil on TV are of no concern. most likely your religion has brainwashed you.

    We've essentially defaulted, just by the equivalent of someone in debt getting more credit cards to "pay" their bills, in a pile of self-referential paper pyramid scams with no basis in real wealth . To speak of "the full faith and credit of the United States" is such a farce, the U.S. is beyond bankrupt with liabilities far exceeding the ever-shrinking assets.

    A computer science program that doesn't support BSD is worthless. I know you were talking to IT, but the computer science department should have enough involvement with IT to force support of BSD. To me, support of BSD is a litmus test of whether you support openness or you are tied to a specific platform. Don't support BSD? I'll call you proprietary.
