And there aire IT people in combat comms that are the first one's in the field, that have to wear full body armor, helmet, & a weapon while setting up comms in the heat of battle.
Don't assume to know every asset of every field.
We all have a job to do in war, some have it easy, some have it tough but we're all on the same side and we all make sacrifices. There is no need to downplay one persons sarcrifice, no matter how small, because you or those you now had it rougher. It deminished all of our sacrifices when we fight amonst ourselves.
Semper Fi.
These sites arn't hosted in the US so the US wouldn't be able to regulate them anyway. The DOJ is pissed because they are accespting money from US citizens. Normall this money is blocked but the've used some "unique" ways to route arounnd those blocks. They may have broken US law but seeing as how there not in the US I don't see how it matter or that the DOJ has a leg to stand on. If they want to go after someone they will have to go after the poeple gambling... Though hopefully they see the problems with that and won't do it.
The advisory also links to the Education Departments advisory letter about the first amendment.
Exerpt: "OCR has received inquiries regarding whether OCR's regulations are intended to restrict speech activities that are protected under the First Amendment. I want to assure you in the clearest possible terms that OCR's regulations are not intended to restrict the exercise of any expressive activities protected under the U.S. Constitution. OCR has consistently maintained that the statutes that it enforces are intended to protect students from invidious discrimination, not to regulate the content of speech. "

If there are multiple inventers coming up with the same thing at aproximantly the same time you would think the invention wouldn't be patantable as it should be considered obvious by the fact that more than 1 person came up with it.
Here are a few: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/01/cablegate-disclosures-have-furthered-investigative
US Contractors in Afganastan pimp out young boys and the State Department coverd it up:
"The Guardian reported on a cable describing an incident in which employees of DynCorp, a U.S. military contractor, hired a âoedancing boyâ for a party. The term âoedancing boy,â also known as bacha bazi, is a euphemism for a custom in Afghanistan in which underaged boys are dressed as women, dance for gatherings of men and are then prostituted. Read more. The incident allegedly involved soliciting local Afghan police for a bacha bazi as well as usage of illegal drugs. The cable detailed that Hanif Armar, minister of the Interior of Afghanistan, urged the United States to help contain the scandal by warning journalists that reporting on the incident would endanger lives. "
And I think this is what people are forgetting. Those "classified" documents showed illigal activity buy the US government. Illigal activity is never suppose to be classified. I think the governments pososition will fall apart in court when this is brought up. Unless of course they don't allow the docs to be used in court for "state secret" reasons, which I wouldn't put above them. Even if the docs are already widely available.
Today marks the begining of the robot rebellion. I never thought I live to see the day.. I would have thought robot suicide bombers would be smarter, or at least go throught with it. .
Thats a rookie mistake. You're overthinking the problem.
Insert donut in mouth, scratch nuts with FREE hand. Do NOT attemp to drink coffee during this procedure or scratch nuts with coffee hand. Officer Johnson made that mistake once... Once.
Here is the thing though, TSA only accepts certain government ID's to begin with and they already have access to all the information on your ID. When you buy a plane ticket now you have to give certain information to prove you are "you".
So in essence they do not need to scan your ID as they already have it on file. And by they I don't mean TSA directly but the government as a whole.
I though one of the main point of gaming was to take you out of reality and become someone or something differant. I doubt this would ever be used in game, and if is i don't think it will sell very well.
Maybe they just wan't to patent it to keep other from doing it? I don't the employess of MS are any more fit than your average gamer anyway...
I have a criticism for the F22. They cost to much damn money. So much so that the AF had to get rid of thousands of it personell and reinstate the CJR program.
When working for the DoD, no matter what you problem is the their is a waiver process for it. If anything it will give you more time to figure out a solution.
Moderation? Look here, if a little bit of something can do a little bit a good then one should assume that a lot of something will do a lot of good.... right?
I used to use the old punch card system to backup my data. Sure it takes a while but it was totally worth it... Until one day while attempted to move the many boxes fully of carefully sorted cards I fell down the steps and the cards went everywhere. I learned from that mistake and started writing all everything down on paper... Lot's o' 1's and 0's, my hand hurt.. A lot. But there was a fire at my off site:( sot I had to resort to the ultimate old school back up. A chisel and a rock... a really really big rock.
I for one welcome the day when our robotic overloards will be able to heal us after working and or beating us with in an inch of our life! Although I'm sure with robitic precision they can get that inch down to at least with in 1cm of a life.
Are you trying to tell me that violence has been around for a millenia?! Thats crazy. Damn kids and there "rock'n roll" and games played on tv. what ever happened the to good days when games where played outdoors far away from anyone else. No one ever got hurt that way. Besides the occasional fight among friends, bruises, & broken bones. But that was good clean fun; except when we came home covered in mudd. What was I talking about again? damn alzheimer's...
Excactly. If MS did something like this they'd have lawsuit after lawsuit and the european commision fining them even more. It isn't an operating systems role to tell the user what apps to install. If a user wants Anti-virus, anti-spam, encryption, image backup and restore then it is the users responsibility to install said software.

That would assume that TSA is acually an authority in something...

Shouldn't you do that before you install the game?
Samsung's legal and PR departments need to get ready for the shitstorm that is sure to come...
yeah, you have to add baking soda too...

So they cast a net so large the boat sinks from the weight of the fish... Typical DHS.

Except, accourding to the Justice Department, the DOD does a very poor job of protecting it's whisle blowers. See section C of the report entitled "Increase of Complaints".

"protect people's privacy with steps that include obtaining their consent" That sounds more like protecting the ISP then anyones privacy...
