The intelligent ones are still here, mostly. What you see as funny one-liners are intelligent people who are frustrated by over-hyped, almost never delivered technical promises and poorly communicated media publications that are only in it to make a buck. How many times have you heard "revolutionary" or "breakthrough" in an article? True, having robot's controlled by neural tissue is astounding, but let's see something really come out of it before we get to impressed!
But that doesn't make it less likely that life cannot start or flourish in other types of solar systems?! Until we are sure of all types of solar systems that can allow for life, it's all moot.
Unless your system has in place a mechanism so that Jim creates accounts and Joe has to push OK to enable the account or Joe can change a password but Jim has to push OK to enable the actual change there is no getting around the ability of a network admin being able to screw the company, city, county, etc over. I have yet to see a system like that. Routers, Windows, Linux, et al don't support anything like that that I've seen. If the person can change passwords the change is immediate and isn't forced through some sort of red-tape.
I agree, nothings perfect but if you implement something like TACACS or a RADIUS SSO server, you can have a centralized authentication and prevent handing over full control to IT personnel. and both servers have multiple User roles so one can make the account and another can enable it or disable it.
a) that doesn't work in ANY small and probably most medium sized businesses
Small business,no, but then again most small business's, if they do have a network, is well small and not a big deal. I used to setup networks for small companies, most are ad hoc, no dedicated server types, where everyone has admin privileges. A medium size company should be able to do it. As long as you another IT person you can separate the duties amongst them. Hell, I'm one of just four InfoSec people and we share all responsibilities and admin rights.
Having a laptop that does Gesture based and Face navigation...So what happens if you give it the finger? Does it shut down? or does rolling your eyes bring up email?
*Sigh* your taking it out of context, watch the video. the poor guys damned if he, damned if didn't.
I still would have voted for him. more so now than before.
Okay no ones going to watch the video, so it'll try and tell you what it says, don't shoot me if I mess up the translation.
Powell didn't know about the Cheneys push for war, his bosses told him and reports showed to him that they were WMD's, in his position he didn't have any other information except what was given to him from Cheney. Powell as Secretary of State had to book meetings to see the President, he was not in the playing arena of Cheney and Rumsfield, so he actually knew very little of what Cheney was doing. When he did finally realize Cheney was pushing for a war he was able to get a meeting with the president and discussed it wouldn't be a good idea and to take it to the U.N. Bush actually listened and followed his advice. Cheney, fearing Powell's anti-war stance, did everything to cut him off and prove he was wrong. Cheney even created a branch of the CIA to produce supporting reports on Iraq's build up of WMD's. Powell was stuck in a position where he did not have the presidents ear and Rumsfield and Cheney did. He was limited in what he could say and do because Cheney wanted it that way.
Sure it's very easy to say "Well he should have quit and went to the press", hell the press already knew about it by time he did.
I don't think anyone could stand up to the scrutiny people put him under, no one could. I'm sure no/. would either, for more than a second.
Looking at how you guys oppose him without proper information, Cheney did a great job.
In politics, it isn't that easy, specially when you a, I use it lightly, person like Cheney. He would have done a anything to discredit Powell, and it wouldn't have mattered if he quit then or not. Please to view the video it's on their website, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I suggest watching "Bush's War" on PBS. Powell was pressured by Cheney to announce to the UN that Iraq had WMB's, without any true evidence. Why? because he wanted to have Powell as a fall guy. Why do you think he left almost right after?
I agree with you! I'm typically Republican, but not a fan of McCain. I'm big enough to think if the Democrats brought someone to the table that I could believe in, I would vote for him. There's just to many unknowns with Obama, to many red flags.
Why not pencil in Powell as a candidate on the ballet?!
Your exactly right! A memristor should be able to simulate a complex neural-network. I don't know about strong A.I, but I can see how these could scale to millions of connections.

I keep imagining a robot that keeps trying to crawl behind the fridge when you turn on the lights!

it may be possible to allow slivers of wavelengths through, possibly infra-red wavelengths through to allow him to "See".
Found a whole room made invisible by this stuff
No excuses, wasn't paying attention.I just ask you over look it and look at the meaning of what I'm saying....

It's called Seperation of Duties.
Actually I'm Canadian living now In the US. I based British parliament on what it was like in Canada, my mistake and my apologies.

As well as in Canada and Britain. I believe the Parliament was established in India by Britain.
Ahh, making elitist judgement calls as to the character of another without examining someone in depth. Definitely a Democrat.
This is, probably, the wisest thing I've heard on /. in a long while!

Yes if your dyslexic they are...

Well obviously, you want to see it the way you want to. All I can say is watch it. It will explain what happened very well.
(*Sheesh* One little slip of the keyboard and I'm condemned for life)
He tried to prevent the war, but there's only so much he could do.

Republicans definitely are not behind in IT, We've been doing IT since, well the first computer.
