globalization is the schizophrenic perspective that you can somehow demonize politically and patronize economically a foreign nation. according to congresses 'draft'
Based on available classified and unclassified information, Huawei and ZTE cannot be trusted to be free of foreign state influence and thus pose a security threat to the United States and to our systems
This, coming from a nation that once rigged Zerox machines to covertly capture soviet documents, and rigged a SCADA controller to turn a gas pipeline into a 3 kiloton bomb in siberia.
if i had to guess, id say congress decided to piss in the Huawei/ZTE pool after it decided not to basically fold like a chair when negotiating international trade in americas favor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei#Criticisms_and_Controversies
we've slung every piece of shit we can at Huawei, from corporate espionage to 'links to the taliban' and even the fact that one of its executives used to serve in the PLA. Its as though congress is willing to claw its own eyes out if it doesnt get a new war every 4 years.
explain how he sidestepped a murder charge from a soverign nation and has since remained unaccountable as to the history of his seventeen year old female companion and alleged methamphetamine production operation, I believe slashdot can finally put "the amazing adventures of John McAfee" back on the bookshelf.
There is nothing about this entire series of unfortunate events that shouldnt warrant immediate extradition to Belize, where he can face his accusors in a court of law and presumably vindicate himself. Otherwise this is an indignant millionaires whitewash campaign to secure his innocence through astroturf and puffery. Unfortunately Mr McAfee wasnt found accused of these crimes in say, the Soviet Union or China, both countries willing to mail a dead millionaire back to his respective embassy for nothing short of a Benny-Hill approach to their criminal justice system.
Russian politician Vladimir Putin described the event as, "unnerving, Sarah seemed to be waving far more fervently that day than she normally does from her porch."

sake for quite some time, its brewed in california by Takara Sake. Brands like Sho Chiku Bai and Takara Sierra rival the best imported brands from japan on a consistent basis. Their Nigori sake is an accurate and high quality representation for example.

for linux, hence partly why i think asus is canning them. its not to say other manufacturers wont give the atom chipset a run in the same vein as asus, just that they might not call them a netbook anymore. They ran most distros with ease and had few driver problems (except the one they released with poulsbo 500 chipset, and even then issues were resolved in about 6-8 months.)
the market for linux probably didnt pan out the way asus figured it might, and the chromebook certainly pounded a few coffin nails in the overall concept, but thats okay. I use netbooks because of their great battery life and low cost. If i lose or break my encrypted EEEPC 901 in the airport, i hop onto ebay and pick up another used for around $100 or so. Theres also something quite liberating about having a four an a half hour flight across the country where you get to operate a laptop during the entire thing.
it always has been: in the community. when they kicked around ACPI as a standard that intentionally didnt 'just work' on linux, we made it work. when dvd was a big-two game, the community came together again and made that work as well when windows mandated the wholly superfluous 'windows' key we simply coopted it to our own desires. Awesomewm, for example. absolutely tireless effort was spent making sure every iteration of broken windows continued to be supported as a dual-boot option in Grub.
We engineered solutions for their docs, excels, and even the very programs that ran only on windows in the form of Wine. secure boot could come, and against it will stand a threat that microsoft has consistently underestimated: Hackers. We cannot be lobbied against, or coded around. there is no NDA we recognize or understand. Im not saying UEFI shouldnt be stopped, just that if and when it comes, we have been ready since the dawn of the kernel to make it do what we want it to do.

It seems that the FCC is relying on citizen complaints for enforcement.
and what would lead you to this conclusion? that after ten years the denizens of the airwaves have had a paper tiger unleashed upon them in response to the number one complaint of the people a regulatory body is sworn to protect? the FCC is no more charged to protect content consumers than is the FDA or USDA, they are all charged to protect and promote the consumer capitalism that drives the american economy. in this case it appears the FCC have finally been forced to act in the interest of consumers if only to avoid the infallible appearance as a corporate lapdog.
we're in for a repeat of the smoking and cancer studies. If at first the science doesnt work out in the shareholders interests, change your studies to "controversies" and buy some airtime on Fox News.

'They're still more modern than anything in the Iranian air force inventory, and they would even be helpful to China in their jet engine development
No, they arent the mig 29 is a newer and arguably better aircraft than the F16 could ever hope to be. and if that isnt 'modern' enough, the SU 30's bolstering the Iranian air force sport avionics alone that make the F16 look like a model T.
chinas current fleet of J series aircraft are powered by the Saturn AL-31 or domestically produced clones with nothing except the turboblades imported. it has 27,600lbs of thrust, compared to the emaciated 17,600lbs of thrust for the pratt and whitney powering the F16.
in summation: Israel is bang on, the F16 has been a collectors item for quite some time.
this site should exist in the first place? the nuclear chemistry behind reprocessing is viable and has been utilized for decades to convert spent fuel into reusable nuclear fuel. this just sounds like a lobby of large energy companies got together and concluded it was easier to bury the waste and forget about it than it was to handle it like responsible corporate citizens and ensure we arent wasting a finite resource.
of a "nuclear non-proliferation" act to be pointless. North Korea has nuclear weapons and as a black-eye to foreign policy rhetoric in the US, has not used them in combat. nor have Pakistan or India. Israel has nuclear weapons, has not signed the non-proliferation treaty, and once a year seems to invade a neighbouring state or assassinate their scientists and political leaders.
the biggest threat to proliferation is Iran acquiring the technology, and using it as a deterrent to nations that might want to "liberate" it of its oil or natural resources. nuclear non proliferation amounts to censorship.
