Only some Evangelical's believe this. Some believe in the literal sense of the bible. The mark is the number 666 on the forehead....not SSN's or Credit Card numbers or anything else. The LITERAL meaning. Anything else, to me, is a misinterpretation of the scripture.
SSN's required for Financial Aid and I think Selective Service registration proof is done the same way. Since school is so damn expensive, almost everyoen needs financial aid unless your Bill Gates or at the very least a millionare.
Actually, universities have tons of data. Remember how you paid for school right? Financial Aid, Stafford Loans and more and you probably went right through the school to get it thanks to the grade requirements and more. Universities are famous for having alot of things on file and tons of unskilled labor who don't know any better (students and more).
The SSN was never to be used as a identifier. PERIOD. It was only to be used for the Social Security System. It was banks and credit bureaus who made the SSN a identifier. The issue that the banks and credit bureaus confronted so many years ago was that they needed a unique way of identifying you for purposes of granting credit. The SSN was the only option as it was desgined from the get go to give you a unique number. Even now though, older SSN's are being reissued as people die off. The problem now is that the number is shown being used by a dead person.
Unfortunately, there's no easy answer. SSN's already in use as an id and until something else better comes along, we have to use it. So what should we in IT do? First, reduce easy access to the number. When designing systems, issue a id that is unique and ONLY works with your system. If you need a way of identifying people in the real world, file the SSN and then reduce access to it. Only let the people who need that number have access to it. In the case of colleges, only financial aid and possibly select people records and registration need to see it. Everyone else MUST use the institution specific id.
The big issue for some higher ed systems is that they used some unsecure methods for far too long. One system in particular up until about 2-3 years ago was using telnet in their client! It was not even SSL'd!
There's not enough room in the phone case for a AM transmitter. Also, it's FAR easier to use the cell network as you can be ANYWHERE in the world to get the information.
Rickenbacker Air Force....NOT lockbourne....
on
A Spaceport In Ohio?
·
· Score: 1
It's almost ALWAYS been Rickenbacker Air Force Base. At least since WWI as Eddie Rickenbacker, a Ohio Native, was a ace during WWI. Not sure where in hell they got Lockbourne unless that was what it was named before it was Rickenbacker.
Oh and the other side doesn't lie and use rhetoric??
Any time you don't agree with someone, it's rhetoric. Anytime you can't remove your filter....your bias....the person who's against you is using rhetoric. Yet in the subject of global warming where there's not just Milloy but many many other respected climatologists that will refute what has been seen in Inconvenient Truth, you refuse to change your mind as well. Spin huh? Don't accuse Milloy of using it when the otherside is even more guilty of the rhetoric and the falsehoods to further their agenda.
All I say is look a the hard numbers. Look at other sites. Don't just keep saying the other side is spinning. Those are the things that libs will say when they don't have the guts to publically debate this and they don't have the proper data to say he's wrong. They'll say he's using rhetoric rather then trying to give a resonable arguement.
As several others have pointed out, what United Nuclear is selling isn't dangerous. Please don't make it harder for scientists that may need this element. It's already a PITA to get Sudafed that works instead of the PE version. For those who don't know, Sudafed and others who use pseudoephedrine as a active ingredient have a odd thing...you get a CARD off the shelf and the pharmacy has to be open. You may only buy 1 box PER day AND you must show ID to buy that box! The reason is because you can make Meth Amphetamine out of Sudafed apparantly. SO you have to SHOW YOUR PAPERS just cause you want the stuff that will actually WORK!
Whipped? That's ONLY what comes out on the Media. Do you realize that the War in Iraq has been going on for almost as long as World War II yet the kill rate is MUCH lower:
US in WWII lost 500,000. World wide we lost 56 MILLION! US in Iraq we have only lost 2882.
BIG difference for almost the same time period. Yes it is terrible that our soldiers have put their life on the line. Any recruiter who does NOT tell new potential recruits that you can loose your life is one who should be put on the front line today. This game itself is a recruiting tool. It get's the foot in the door. Once the foot is in that recruiters office, the rest of the body gets told the real truth. If they don't, then the Army needs to look at how recruiting is done.
Yes there's issues in Iraq. However if do a immediate pull out, what is a civil war will descend into complete Chaos as Sunni's and Shia fight for that piece of land called Iraq.
VMware's been around for at least 8 years. It's just now that virtualization is feasible for using things everyday as back in the day, you'd be running this on a Pentium !!! and the VM's were ass slow. Microsoft is full of shit as always.
You know the LCD teaching of today's High School is why kids just don't care. Sure the kids who are not having an issue are doing fine but when someone gets bad grades because the are bored to tears?? Make the subject tests harder and stop with the god forsaken state proficiency exams. School district after school district in my area continually will dedicate teaching time to review for these state exams rather then.....TEACHING! The reason they do is because funding is in some ways dependent on these exam results.
I finally got to touch a Wii at Game Crazy and I played a round of Excite Truck. Friggin fantastic game. Even had a panic fast button press ala Excitebike. The controller worked flawlessly.
Yeah, but if I was Nintendo or Sony, I would have kept things quite a bit longer and either released next year or like the did with the DSlite....release in June. That way it will sell alot in Jun and in December.
I understand why the things are limited, but I don't have to like it. What I want to know is, why release these damn things in the busiest season? The only reason I come up with is everyone wants their little Johnny to have that PS3 xmas or to sell them on eBay plus the fact that alot of people in this country lose their heads all in the name of the almighty money spending holiday called Christmas.
I want a Wii on Sunday, but I'll wait until March. By then, the hype is wore off and a few more games are out.
"Scientists had said earlier that it was not unusual to see icebergs so far from the Antarctic coastal region, where they had broken off the ice shelf - but that they were expected to melt as they drifted toward New Zealand."
NOT UNUSUAL! No where in the article does it say scientists theorize that this was caused by Global Warming.
Oh I dunno.....considering it was way easy to install some rather unstable apps like Jokosher and others, I am really happy with the release. Also, the GAIM that ships with it is also a beta. There's several apps that have finally been upgraded. I don't really have anything to be disappointed in with Edgy and I much prefer it to Dapper.
As for FC6....I had some issues with that release and I think the reason I did was that it shipped with 2.6.18 instead of 17. That happens to be the first release to have the real time stuff mainlined. I still think that the real time stuff is not ready for prime time, but I am glad it's in there. Oh my issue? The first time in a long time I have had Linux crash on me....hard. It was a complete lockup.
As opposed to what? The 1500's? The 1700's?? The late Cretaceous??? Was anyone keeping record of the ACTUAL temperature back then? No. We have only been recording these kinds of things for the last 200 years at best. Core drilling's showing high CO2 in Antarctica or Greenland at best, are only based on scientific theory at best. There's many reasons that one core drilling may show higher CO2 but is anyone absolutely sure that the theory proves true? Can we conduct experiments on this?? No way to conduct that kind of experiment because non of us will be around in a million years.
The biggest issue in any government project is that the people who do the governing have no idea that it's NOT a good idea to change the requirements midway through a project. They figure, oh, it's not live yet so we will make this change to the project and then the IT department or consultant says that's cool, we'll need another million dollars and another 20-50 days or weeks added to it to make this change. Since the change is also probably in a law, then by law, the change has to be made which means by law the government has to authorize additional appropriations and and......then your cost is double or more. Changes to a project mid implementation are what kills project budgets. Apparently waiting till the initial project is done THEN asking for a change is not in the nature of our congress or most governmental workers.
I really don't see this as much of a big deal. Bill Maher was talking out of his ass. The Media company made the edit without anyone truly complaining. This is typical of big media. Oh yeah....just TRY pullingit off of YouTube.....it will continue to show again and again like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwWZFG6k8QM

It's obvious, to me, that this movie is simply a preaching to the choir type of movie. The movie can and does have holes the size of a Mac Truck.
