You live too close to Hill AFB. The average layman dosen't know what POTUS means. You could have just said, "the president" which is only 4 syllables of smooth flow.
I call BULLSHIT!
Now, I'm not going to assume that all/.'ers are informed but there is enough use of the term POTUS, SCOTUS, DHS, FBI, etc. here to either flag you as a me-tooing-get-on-the-opposing-bandwagon type or seriously uninformed. Your choice.
Me thinks you were looking for something snappy to post that would put you somewhere near the top of the comment page and you chose this poor saps post.
I'd like to see a move away from the Ares-Orion stack and a move towards the more versatile Jupitor plan.
I'd also like to see us make serious use of the press and make our move back to the Moon and eventually to Mars as much as an event as the original Mercury-Gemini-Apollo missions. You have to make it romantic for the public so they feel like writing their Congresscritters to support funding.
Just make sure you distract the Captain long enough for the progress bar to complete its travel, then you casually remove the USB stick while hiding it with a manila folder. Make your way to a torpedo tube and launch yourself before he discovers that you just copied down all the ZECRETZ.
What would certainly get more expensive is instant coffee, because that doesn't produce waste coffee grounds.
Instant bio-diesel? 2 scoops of powder, add water. Cream? Sugar?
So, if you don't want the exhaust to smell like your breakroom after the dipshit from IT grabbed the pot off the hotplate while it was still dripping, do we want to add Irish Creme to the mix?
Will they someday insist that we switch to decaf biodiesel to protect the environment? Do I have to stop telling the Barista to make mine leaded?
Since my cardiologist told me to cut down on caffeine, do I have to avoid traffic jams?
Is Ford going to come out with a special "Juan Valdez" edition Explorer?
Eventually after seven years (I was using a 486 running slackware) she said yes. Today we screw every night.
You are leaving out the part about the extra 80lbs she gained after the beer bong coma incident and the loss of 80 IQ points as a result and severe drubbing her popularity took when it turned out she was the Herpes Hilda of the UW.
How many people have cured cancer by trying to reform it?
Do you means something like taking a tumor and "reforming" it into something like a mass of herpes cells and then blasting it?
I'm sorry, did I just ruin your argument there, Sparky? Or was your question rhetorical?
Re:LINQ does not sound like craziness

I use LINQ almost exclusively in two ways...
Sorry to tell you this, but LINQ has run almost to the end of its short life. Turns out the ADO.NET folks are going to kill it off. They like EntityFramework better.
LINQ was good at a few things, and a LINQ to Objects/SharePoint/etc. that was fully matured would have been nice. But, it won't get there now.
That's easy. Buy the code from them. If it's not already owned by a parent company,
Usually it is owned and so mired in ownership issues that is would be useless if the "owner" wanted to release it.
I worked for a...da da daaaaaa...DOT COM and between EDS, who had an agreement with us, Washington Mutual, who was acting as our white label credit department, and venture capitalists in South Korea and Europe, our technology was so tied up in who actually owned it, no one could even claim the authority to shut down the web site. The company is gone, but the web site is still active hasn't been updated since 2001, and the host is still being paid by some financial shell organization who has received instructions to do otherwise. Why, because noone has clear legal authority to do so.
Now, can you imagine what happens to the servers and code of companies that go belly up and why most can't, even if they wanted to, open up the system, or at least provide a free license to operate servers without them?
I beginning to wonder if this is deliberate on EDS's part. In the U.S. Navy NMCI contract, they have lost drives and created vast security stand-down efforts while trying to create one big happy Navy network, which, btw, has resulted in a net increase in Networks and domains rather than the intended reduction.
I'm starting to believe this is part of something else.
The difference being, sparky, is that the source is not closed, you can read it. It maybe closed in terms of copyright, but it's still open in terms of source access. As opposed to closed, compiled binaries where the source is not available.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Considering some of the smaller scale, and a few of the larger, OSS projects have code so badly written, so badly commented that obfuscated javascript looks easy to read by comparison, how do you close a JavaScript project?
Kernel Panic? Why not just teach that damned kernel some self-defense lessons. Or, at least tell it to grow a set of balls. Just stop the damned Panic.
You insensitive clod, my entire <SFX>kerchunk</SFX> album collection is on <SFX>kerchunk</SFX> 8-Track tape. Why, I even have that handy little <SFX>kerchunk</SFX> cassette converter so I could play <SFX>kerchunk</SFX> in my '78 Cougar.
You know, I still have the little plastic discs for my 45's as well.
The current Republican party is unquestionably the worst choice for people who want small government.
Which is why, Sparky, a "small government" focused third party would draw away Republicans that are disgusted with the current choices. Thus, destroying the man's argument.
The problem with voting for a third party, is that those votes are usually coming from people who would otherwise vote Democrat, not the people who will vote Republican till the day they die.
How does that apply to the idiots who voted Perot?
What about the ones that are lining up to thow away a vote on that other Texas idiot?
How about adjusting your statement...wait, adjusting your statement would destroy your argument.
If the "third party" is aligned with the Left, such as the Green Party, then yes it will draw off Democrat voters. If the party is aligned with the Right, such as the myriad of "Small Government, Law and Order" parties, then you will draw off Republicans.
Do you know that she seems to have been using the account for gov business?
(Emphasis added is mine.)
So now, "seems" is enough to rate a finding of guilty in your book? It's funny, I've seen many a political discussion on/. and when the person in question is a liberal/Democrat, then "seems" means we should either find the person innocent in the court of public opinion, or at least reserve judgement until a court renders theirs, and then maybe even say the person was railroaded. However, when the person in question is a conservative/Republican, then "seems" is the equivilent of caught-red-handed-flail-them-lock-them-up-throw-away-the-key.
It seems to me that many who are afraid the "other side" will destroy the Constitution are all too ready to destroy it when its someone they disagree with who will be the victim.
Not a very open-minded, nor enlightened approach.
Please have the courtesy of reserving judgement until such a time all the facts are in.

War IS news worthy. Web defacement and cyber attacks are just par for the course.
This is a natural extension of war now-a-days. This is akin to saying, "Soldiers Now Using Bullets in War".

Nice try.
What's the average lifespan of a shark, cause I'd hate to need to replace a burnt out laser on one of those frickin' things.
98.4% of AC's didn't get the GP joke. Further, it's a known fact that most (75.3%) AC's don't believe that 92% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Don't forget, the F-16 has hardened systems. Your standard commercial liner does not have hardened avionics packages.
I thought this happened twice a year and Congress mandated it. Spring forward and fall back and all that.
Klinger was eating the Jeep, bit by bit.
It was Radar that was mailing the Jeep home, bit by bit.
