It's an authorization bill, which defines mission, but does not provide funding. Funding is provided by an appropriation bill, which should come later. The OP is wrong about this bill preventing lay-offs, since a) there is no money in an authorization bill, and b) the lay-offs related to Constellation have already happened.
If they're going to fire you over something like this, consider the possibility that they were going to fire you anyway. If you're sure you're clean all around, hire a lawyer, but don't sic 'em on the company until you've been fired or want to get fired.
OK, so it takes 8s to open a web page. How many tabs can you open in 8s? This thing is cool, no doubt, but for me it seems like more work than it saves.
If you close it, eventually you have to open it again. It takes like 0.08375 seconds to open a web page these days. Some people just aren't as patient as you are.
You can take common words or phrases and remove certain letters. Like "better" without the t's. Oh wait...
Or swap out certain letters for numbers and symbols, like "e" becomes "@, "i" becomes "!", or "s" becomes "5". In other words, type like they do on MySpace.
(Seriously, those are good ideas, just don't be so lame and obvious about it. Or "1mnD0Bv5". "Lame and obvious", with vowels removed, l become one, o becomes zero, s becomes 5, and, letters without openings become uppercase.)
The fact that my phone stays in the exact same location for 10 hours each night is a pretty good clue for someone trying to identify me from location data.
Anyone else notice that BP's attempts to fix their mess all involve recovering the oil, and they've not tried anything that involves sealing off the well? Are they trying to prevent environmental disaster or are they trying to maximize profits?
... is bait meant to lure out Slashdotters who can't be bothered to RTFA. The article does not mention anything about how the device works.
The mention of the registry comes from a footnote in a DHS report (you know, the guys who can't find bombs if they're in your underwear). It is not sourced, and most likely an assumption since the NSA isn't in the habit of telling anybody how their $#!+ works.
We're more in trouble when they call Liv Tyler. That means the situation is so bad they just want to watch one more really hot car wash before we all die.
Who said it was an engineer? It was "some guy", if it even happened at all. Could have been the janitor, or the gardener. Given the number of times this has been done before by amatuers, I'm surprised it was considered worth posting here. One team of school kids did it for under $100 about 2 years ago. About 5 years ago, an out-of-work enginner did it as resume boosting project.
Let me rephrase his question -
How secretive can it be if the Air Force is issuing press releases?
Another rephrasing would be -
Why is the OP pretending he' loosed some super secret spy stuff when all he's really done is summarized a press release?
The agreement bans making "public statements regarding" the agreement. It does not ban disclosing the agreement itself. In other words, you can't say "this agreement sucks" in public (or ""this agreement sucks in public", for that matter.
Anyone can get a copy of the agreement by going through the sign-up process until the agreement pops up, making a copy, and then clicking "Disagree".

Wouldn't the Pentagon just buy up all the Kindles and burn them?
... it's certainly not the drunken debauchery.
Yay you. Here's a $%^&ing cookie. Now get the $%^@ back to work and hit your $%&^ing ticket quota!

Above 50kft, airspace is unregulated. If you can get there, you can do whatever you want.
... but I think spitting out so much lead that nothing can survive is much more badass.

I guess that answers that.
Anyone else notice that BP's attempts to fix their mess all involve recovering the oil, and they've not tried anything that involves sealing off the well? Are they trying to prevent environmental disaster or are they trying to maximize profits?
Blowing up a satellite in orbit seems like a great way to solve the orbital debris problem to me.
I'd like to suggest that we take our advice on using nukes from someone with a little more credibility than "anonymous."
DLP projectors have been using 7 color color wheels for years. I can't speak to this implementation, but it can make difference.

In Alabama we... well, you really don't want to know.

I found one sitting on my sofa when I got home last night, eating Cheetos and watching Oprah. Damn thing was in my spot, too!
NSA is not DoD. Sounds more like a turf battle to me.
They're just packaging up the info already available to the API - in other words, nefarious villians already have your data.
