Who do we want in control of the infrastructure? Corporations which cannot be held accountable because they are owned by foreigners? Or the government which while still possibly owned by foreigners is at least somewhat accountable.
It's your choice. I think as a libertarian rather than anarchist, you need a government to maintain freedom/liberty for the consumer. Corporations are on their own and in my opinion using the government to promote and support corporations is collectivism.
This changes nothing. The numbers remain the same; the timescale for photosynthesis is not comparable to that for neural activity.
Hameroff/Penrose quantum consciousness remains impossible (as well as unscientific, unnecessary and useless).
You have a right to your opinion on it being unnecessary, useless or impossible. You are simply wrong in saying it's unscientific. It's scientific in that they are following scientific method, their equations are there to be read and the calculations work, the only thing left to do is observe it in nature.
You can claim the timescale isn't accurate, or that the size isn't accurate or that the quantum entanglement in plants does not apply to animal brains, but you cannot say that it's unscientific. Thats just an ignorant statement.
If you think it's unscientific why don't you prove that by discussing the unscientific parts of the hypothesis.
The author should know that not ever musician has classical training. In fact the vast majority of us cannot afford to go to music school and pay for classical training. Giving the option to allow us to import any visual composing mechanism we want into the product would be ideal.
This is another feature they'll probably never implement. But it would be incredibly useful if while doing research you can set Firefox to search Google and open up sites which match the specific concepts/phrase/whatever you are looking for. If I want to learn all I can learn about a subject like the history of the automobile, I should be able to program Firefox to search every search engine for the terms "Automobile" and "History", then future program it to only go to certain results from specific reputable websites from the list I choose. I should also be able to program Firefox to search within those websites for specific phrases, quotes, or to highlight certain concepts I'm trying to learn more about.
Finally I should be able to highlight those quotes, save them into an Open Office web app, have all my quotes entered into he webapp in the MLA format. Why can't it happen?
When I have 100 tabs open I want to be able to have my browser intelligently send data between these tabs. If I have Google open and I highlight something I don't want another Google to have to open. I want a Google Icon which represents ALL the Google tabs much like the taskbar can group windows. All Google should be under Google, all Slashdot under Slashdot, all Youtube under Youtube, and these categories should all be independently searchable or searchable as a whole.
I should be able to search through all my Youtube or Slashdot tabs for any specific sentence contained within those tabs. I should be able to know which tab has been active, which tab is inactive. I should know which tab is consuming a lot of resources via blinking or whatever mechanism.
Features like these would save time because I wouldn't have to open the tasklist to kill the tabs which are consuming too much resources. I wouldn't have to scroll through inactive tabs to find the active tab. And if I want to search ALL my search engines for a phrase I should be able to search them all, I don't see why I can do this via Beagle or regular expressions in Linux but I cannot do this in Firefox???!
The main problem with Firefox is they aren't integrating with the systems they operate under and they aren't giving users features we ask for.
The goal should be to allow the individual to take in and interpret as much information as possible with minimal clutter. One of the best new features browsers have added is the ability to highlight text and click "Search for What a joke.", the problem is they don't expand on any of this. They want us to use web apps but they don't provide anything to allow us to take input from one website and send it to another without opening up a bunch of useless Windows.
If I want to email you through gmail I should be able to click an icon next to your sn, this Window should instantly allow me to send this post to your gmail or whatever. It should be much better integrated. We should be able to also search more than just "Google", for "What a Joke", but it should allow the individual to search any application on their computer or on the internet that they select. I should be able to search for "What a Joke" on several sites search bars and the results should appear on one page.
Why is this so difficult? It's adding the features of regular expressions to the browser experience. That is the next level, and if it can be made intelligent and the AI can predict the context, even better.
An example, you highlight "Give me" and it asks (Search for Give Me). This feature should be expanded via plugins, regular expression, and AI so that if I have Google open in another tab it can search for it within the Google search tab already open. This would save browser resources and make it a lot easier to manage tabs. I always leave a tab open to Google, Wikipedia, Slashdot and YouTube. Why not let me highlight text and select which site I want the text to search from? Why not use keyboard shortcuts so that I can highlight the text and hit "g" and it searches Google, "y" and it searches Youtube, "w" and it searches Wikipedia, or "d" for the dictionary if I don't know the word. And the plugin interface should allow regular expressions and individual programmers to code new features.
This plugin/extension interface would revolutionize the browsing experience because it would increase the amount of information the user can work with and take in at any given time. This should be the goal of Firefox. To help increase the amount of information users can handle rather than trying to merely simplify he interface without any known practical enhancements.
The application tab idea is good. That has a good function. But I want that application tab to be connected to the text highlight function of the browser. And then something like the pipes function in linux should be used to allow the highlighted text to be manipulated any which way and or used as input for the software applications. I should be able to highlight text on your post and have it to into my word processor application or email application as a direct quote with source citation included. This way I don't have to worry about managing the sources.
And there are a million other improvements we could probably think of that they aren't or don't seem to be considering. I hope the Firefox4 team reads this post and considers adding these features.
I have ADD and would love to be able to search through 100 tabs.
I would prefer if they made the search intelligent enough to predict which tabs I'll go to, and use regular expressions so that I can program it to respond to words I highlight on a site.
So for example if I highlight a word with my mouse and I already have wikipedia open in another window, it should ask me if I want to search wikipedia in the window already open rather than asking me to open a new wikipedia window and search. Regular expressions and intelligent text.
I'm in high resolution mode and I'm still having problems with the font DPI. They need to make it so that the fonts look good regardless of the monitor resolution. It should automatically adapt. How hard is it to make an intelligent font mechanism for Compiz/Xwin/Windows7?
Consider most people pay $10 for an album or CD. How hard would it be for Firefox to charge $5 for a version of Firefox which supports extra features?
The Slashdot site even has this mechanism of funding. It would work if it were done in an Itunes way and if people could pay via Google's payment system.
Nah, it's not actually that bad. For a TS, yes they interview a lot of people (albeit not "everyone", just most of the folks you regularly interact with over the last 10 years). But no, you don't have to do a polygraph nor a drug test (although some contracting firms might require the drug test for their own purposes; none of the ones I've dealt with have). The polygraph generally only comes in to play when you get certified for SCI access.
The polygraph is probably he most scary part of any investigation. NOBODY in their right mind would find being interrogated via polygraph a pleasurable experience. So what you are saying is the drug testing is determined by the agency or contractor and not by government mandate?
As for the scrutiny, no, I don't think it's really "non-stop" either. After the initial investigation (the worst of which, frankly, is filling out the stupid form, although some of the investigators can be annoying), they pretty much leave you alone until it's time to get it reviewed (5 years for TS IIRC; I'm not due yet), and that's not particularly intense either. I don't personally view it as a sacrifice, or giving 100% to the government, and can't say I've really noticed a negative impact on my quality of life.
Thats interesting. Some of the other people I've talked to have told me the exact opposite. That the government intrudes upon every aspect of their life, that they have not a single private moment, that everyone they know is questioned/interviewed, and more which I wont detail on this site. From what they've told me it certainly isn't worth it but maybe every experience is subjective. They did mention drug testing so I assumed that was necessary.
Considering the issues I had finding a position when I landed the one requiring a clearance, yeah, I think it was. (BTW, in case it wasn't obvious, yes, I do have a TS clearance. That's also why I'm posting anonymously -- not so much that I'm worried about people knowing, as despite the clearance I know virtually nothing of interest, but more to stem the inevitable tide of other folks with clearances whining about opsec if I don't. Heck, they'll probably whine anyway...)
So it's not the TOP SECRET clearances that bring the intense scrutiny, but the special access programs? The SCI? Or are there clearances that exist beyond TOP SECRET which require the polygraph, drug testing, and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Scope_Background_Investigation
My questions are if TOP SECRET clearance isn't a hassle to get, why do so few people receive it?
And does the cost/benefit of a clearance depend more on the job/role of the work rather than the process/paperwork?
What I heard is you can get a clearance in one of the two ways. 1. you apply for a job which requires it and you have the right connections and this combination gets you a clearance. 2. you serve in the military and you get a clearance during your military service.
Both of these are examples of employers "paying for you do to something else while the background check is going on."
The process for getting a clearance is extremely intrusive and extremely thorough, the investigation lasts for years and in some cases never really ends.
So is it worth it to even get a clearance if the government agents are going to talk to everyone you've ever been in contact with and find out every stupid or illegal thing you've ever done?
Depends on who you've known and what you've done.
I did some research. From my research a TS clearance isn't worth the impact on quality of life which is sure to diminish from the intense nonstop government scrutiny. It's a personal sacrifice to get a TS clearance. Polygraph testing, drug testing, interviewing everyone you ever knew, means you have to give 100% of yourself to the government.
From what I've heard you apply for a job which requires a clearance and you either get the job or you don't.
You have to be employed in a job that requires a clearance in order to get a clearance. Which is a bit of a catch-22 unless the employer will pay for you to do something else while the background check is going on.
This is also why those with clearances have a pretty good job market - the employer doesn't have to risk you failing to get a clearance. It's not hard to get a low-level clearance if you've mostly behaved yourself.

Assuming you don't have clearance from prior military experience, you will apply for a job that is 'clearance conditional'. You get the job. Your agency submits you for approval. You may or may not get it. I'm pretty sure the success rate is much, much higher than the 10% cited elsewhere. For a TS/Poly, maybe. For a Secret? No way.
What prevents 90% of people from receiving a clearance?
I'm not arguing the politics of it (I agree with you from that point). I'm simply telling you how much the brontosaurus needs to eat... I'm not telling you why, how, or where you are going to get the food from.
The "services" is giving people a means to more readily comply with regulation, fill out required form, and easily pay it more money.
They might have to spend 4-6 billion on cyber security but it would be better to spend it on that than to spend it on fighter jets which will probably never be used anyway. The new kind of war involves cyberspace, information, and almost never involves fighter jets.
So how would the enemy attack? Probably by exploiting weaknesses in systems and networks. So those systems and networks must be secured and securing them wont be free.
"This is where the big need for security comes from. How do you provide more access to more services and information while restricting that information to the appropriate parties. "
What type of services exactly? What services do you expect the government to provide? Do you mean a setup so we can instant message the FBI to report a crime in progress? Do you mean giving twitter accounts out? What services does the government provide that is so important that we will need e-government to provide it?
With the slow increase in population coupled with the dramatic increases in regulation and bureaucracy, the US government will simply grind to a halt if it does not provide more access to government services via the internet.
This is where the big need for security comes from. How do you provide more access to more services and information while restricting that information to the appropriate parties. Also, once these services become integrated and relied upon, they will become targets for hostile foreign elements. This is a "good" problem to have, but it is one that needs to be addressed now, before massive electronic outreach programs become part of our daily lives (even more than they are now).
WTF? What services? What exactly do you imagine we will be relying on the government for and since when did the government provide anything for free? The government expects you to serve it in exchange for whatever you get, nothing is ever free. If wifi is offered it will come with censorship. If healthcare is offered it will come with a draft and government control over human behavior down to the microscopic level.
How exactly is giving the government more control over us worth the services?
It depends on the job. If it's something like writing a keylogger or understanding how to do stuff like that, you can experiment on your own network and learn 90% of what you need to know without ever having to break the law.
No, this money wont go anywhere near the people who need it. First, the jobs this money creates is only going to be available to people who are able to be "cleared". If you are unfamiliar with the security clearance process, you should check it out. Many people apply, few (with the exception to political appointees) are accepted. The job market for cleared people is nearly always good (but has gotten pretty tight under the anti-military/intelligence Democratic congress/white house), so this will only make life better for them.
Second, the money is going to the Washington DC area... where "skilled" jobs are always in abundance. The big loss in jobs has been in the "low/unskilled" and the trade markets, which this "bubble" will do nothing to improve outside of the support industries.
I never heard of that even being possible. From what I've heard you apply for a job which requires a clearance and you either get the job or you don't. And despite what you think about the Democrats, they take national security just as serious and have pet projects of their own.
My conclusion is that you don't know what you are talking about if you believe all the jobs will go directly to DC.
Internet radio? What if the internet goes down? Now software radio on the other hand can be useful in all sorts of situations whether you use the internet or not.
