relatively similar attire, devotion to religious purity and god. The reaction i suspect would however have been to close the nuclear facility, seal off the town, arrest the security guards, quarantine the state as a no-fly zone, burn the constitution and start a war with next->countryOn($list);
when was the last time he was relevant? and with regard to his purported comment: thats his job. his job is to say, or do anything to anyone in order to garner enough attention to sell advertising slots. the formula is to find a hot-button item and exploit it. Whether he believes anything he says is irrellevant. He lost his job on Fox News because his ability to draw advertisers plummeted once americans realized the stalinist dystopia he insisted upon never arrived. Sean Hannity, Bill Oreilly, Glenn Beck, and Limbaugh are all designed and employed to keep people interacting with and talking about their respective shows. None have any expertise in anything of a technical nature, ever.
Imagine a warship weapon that can launch projectiles at Mach 10 without explosives
its offtopic but No. just, hell no. Every slashdot story about war-tech needs to have an icon of dick cheney, then perhaps we would begin to understand that every advancement in the american arsenal is diametrically opposed to the idea of technology as a whole, which is to make life better.
imagine a land where violent crime, grinding poverty, intractable inequality, and disease are a part of everyday life. its a nation with a standing debt of around sixteen trillion dollars, and it can think of no better use of its time or limited remaining resources than to invent a superweapon for an enemy that does not exist, to defend the collective interests of a handful of elites.
and conclude that had the supreme court heard the issue, it would probably have just ruled in favour of the government.
and had it ruled against the government, the TSA and cur->administration() would have ignored it.
The best option at this point is to select "alternative screening" whenever you go through the airport. Refuse the private screening as this only benefits the TSA by allowing it to hide the dissent against this technology. Avoid engaging in smalltalk, even if solicited, during the pat down. I generally stand tall, and fix my vision into the crowd of passengers entering screening.
that people are beginning to realize just how little their lives are impacted or affected by terrorism. out of sheer desparation, the government drive to catch anything remotely related to the ideas or sentiments of terrorism or terrorists is now becoming apparent.
if we dont have 'terror,' then an entire industry that employs millions of americans collapses during an intractable recession. Seeing an increase in wiretaps and so forth is merely observing this industrial organism defensively fight for its survival. As for its government custodian, in this case, i suspect its easier to keep up appearances than to face the fact that peanut allergies killed more americans last year than terrorism, and obesity killed more americans than 9/11 by a long shot.
America has been making weapons-grade nuclear material for somewhere near 70 years now so I am sure they know how to keep it safe and out of the hands of the bad guys.
we've given nuclear warheads and material to a country that uses state sponsored terrorism and has attacked united states warships in the past. it has not, nor will it ever sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty.
the only difference to recognize here is that at no point is the IAEA going to inspect any US facility.
every INFCIRC entered for the united states basically confirms that despite our running 'new war every four' policy, we get basically the same rubber-stamp report year after year. The same status is not enjoyed by Iran, whom if the US had their way would be tracking roentgens in the colon of every persian on earth.
could have been "change the content on slashdot to 'news for nerds, stuff that matters' for one day"
or change the logo to $la$hdot(c), and continue tossing in vendor-sponsored articles, thinly veiled advertisement in the form of video reviews, inflammatory political and social baiting to increase click traffic, and bugs into your site code for no other reason but sheer profit-driven nature of the operation.
another idea is for one day in october, we can all upgrade to Reddit.
BOFH collection, which includes but is not limited to:
blade computing requires routine sharpening
grid computing can sometimes get out of alignment and needs to be centered and degaussed sometimes
clustered computing includes a creamy nougat center
network degradation can be attributed to stains on the network fabric that didnt come out after the last wash
the datacenter certification plaque specifies the air pressure for the tires as well as the type of oil to be used in the cloud
sue engineers for degraded roads or 9/11. As time passes, holes emerge and the code shows age. things that were once determined safe and sound like blowfish are no longer the norm, much as roads from the sixties can no longer handle multi-ton SUV traffic. maybe its a problem with the roads, or a problem that can be addressed by changing the environmental factors contributing to its degradation. Security, much as road construction, continues to improve but to retroactively fault an engineer for not knowing that which was unthinkable at the time is wrong-headed.
its also why you cant sue an engineer for a building that collapses under the shock force of an earthquake that meets or exceeds its structurally rated limit. In russia it was actually fair practice to jail engineers for failing to prevent catastrophic accidents. Hence the recount of senior control room engineers who were incarcerated for failing to safeguard against bureaucratic failures that precipitated the chernobyl disaster.
the priority of law enforcement is to evacuate residents, leaving GOP officials to make the decision of when to evacuate delegates
if its anything like the last time the GOP was involved in a hurricane, GOP leaders will determine delegates should be evacuated to a sports arena, fed MRE's, and largely ignored until theyre all dead.
Leaders rule through an ideology. Things like the Carter doctrine and the Bush doctrine didnt just appear because Rush Limbaugh wanted them to happen. These are leaders who formulated a means of governing with the help of their party and appropriate policy advisors. The problem stands to reason with the idea that the GOP is a legitimate political party when for four years their position on anything and everything has simply been "no." The GOP's platform of business first has clearly failed as the invisible hand of the market is to the populus no more than god was to the serf in the feudal kingdom. Justification for a system of stratification and oppression.
1. Innovation and the Economy: Democrats, More money into funding NSF, and Public Universities. Republicans, let the private market innovate themselves, allow competition to improve be the driving factor.
private markets havent innovated anything in a damn long time. Apple has sued the holy bejeezus out of every competetor to bring a new product to market, Harley Davidson lobbied for huge tarrifs in the 80's to prevent technologically superior motorcycles from ever landing in the hands of consumers. Lobbyists for major automotive manufacturers make sure chinese manufacturers like Cherry and French manufactureres like Pugot never see american markets while at the same time guaranteeing a smooth bailout if their ideology of SUV's during $5 a gallon gas summers doesnt turn out to be a profit machine.
point 2? a boldface lie. the republican posture on climate change is that its either not happening, not man made, or not reliably measured. In short, republicans arent doing shit to take care of this problem but ignoring it.
point 3 just regurgutates point 1 and is also patently false. Corporations dont invest in the future unless theyre getting a profit from it. Cleaner air and water are innovations to make life better for our children, but arent researched. Private corporations once again rely on patents and copyright to avoid innovation at most any cost because its expensive and unpredictable.
point 4. what the hell is biosecurity? Pandemics i understand however the most immediate vector for that appears to be intensive factory farming and genetic modification lately. Federally funded scientists are private scientists in most cases, the rosters of the FDA have quite a few monsanto and cargill employees.
point 5. Here in California vouchers have failed miserably. Theyre tucked into the coffers of a few millionaires and the students are shown the tests they take ahead of time to bolster their score, the "numbers", and in turn generate more funding from the federal governement and increased fees from parents. http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/17/local/la-me-crescendo-20120818
point 6. again, there are no invisible hands here. We either invest in science and technology to create and enhance alternative energy systems or we use up our remaining fossil fuels in the hopes some sort of blind god in a business suit will usher in our technological future. invisible hands make for a shit argument.
point 7. better safe than sorry is an excellent policy. Heavy regulation may mean Dow Corning executives will have to delay the next yacht, but it also means shit like prion induced BSE, salmonella and fecal coliform stay out of the food supply. remember "biosecurity"? you just made an argument to kill everyone after making an argument that a private drug scientist would help us after 15 minutes.
point 8. clean the water because the invisible hand has once again failed miserably. there is no market in cleaning up the superfund sites from big businesses. Telling people to buy water purification systems again uses the invisible hand to basically tell people the equality of all men as cited under the declaration of independence is just a fucking lie. the rich will drink pure water
from MasterCard...would introduce a serious flaw into the bitcoin model. Namely, the ability to override the corporate and political will of a major multinational financial processor with strong ties to the US Government.
the huge appeal of BitCoin is the ability to treat it like anonymous cash, a privilege previously enjoyed only by the upper echelons of the rich and powerful as they finance things like proposition 8 or the next GOP candidate.
True OP! The concept extends as well to the AMA and numerous other medical trade groups. part regulatory body, and part flow-control for doctors to prevent the possibility of lowering the price for a physician. Because if someone wrote an app to diagnose patients and select appropriate treatments, fewer people would bother scheduling an appointment and more people would start to question the US healthcare system than just the 30 million that dont get to use insurance to pay for it.
much of modern medicine is still quite trial-and-error based on a per-patient level. I think steven is playing the big-picture here. If Deep Blue can decimate every opponent on jeopardy, theres nothing preventing a smart phone from precluding his house in the hamptons 15 years.
Akins rant was a success. Recognition and discussion has reached a national level for this candidate, but do we even know who hes running against? people are rightly polarized and outaged now but this strategy seems to be an old one for the GOP that harkens back to their sterling allies on AM radio. Say something incendiary, let the audience simmer for a while and see what they think, then direct the conversation where you think it needs to go.
The GOP is elected on the coattails of the culture war, nothing less. Once in office they act solely in the interest of the upper class but they need a vehicle to get them there. Points to Akin for avoiding complicated issues like the economy, for which the GOP have no coherent or reasonable answer but to continue shoveling money into the cauffers of the rich.
apple sells an experience, it hasnt sold computers or catered to the "power user" since the 1980s. Instead, Jobs expanded upon the initial notion of easy to use computing thats attractive and modern and comes at a premium price. Part of that experience is acknowledging that in order to provide uniformity to the target demographic, the Mac-anything is going to be a closed box. when it breaks, the consumer need only buy a new one. Never fault the customer or insist they understand how to do anymore than consume the product and have fun within the lines.
Apple users, largely but not exclusively, are less computer owner and more internet user. For those of us who wanted a real computer, the kind you can get into and tinker with, we built one from parts.
An asylum person is someone who has left their country of origin for fear of persecution. They've asked for permission to stay in another country and are waiting for a decision to be made on this.
On May 28, 1987, Cuban Brigadier General Rafael Del Pino Diaz defected to the United States in a Cessna 402 airplane of Aerocaribbean, with his third wife, his daughter, and his son Ramses, an ex-MiG-23 pilot. Del Pino Diaz remains the highest-ranking Cuban defector.
Sure, we recognize Diplomatic Asylum. Just not any asylum that blunts our pitchforks and snuffs out our torches. Its pretty obvious Julian Assange if not granted Asylum, would be eating that world renound lemon pepper fish down in Guantanamo.
let the whitehouse finish a few slices of humble pie this time.
devolved from consumers to criminals. In the eyes of an insurer you're nothing more than the outlander, or tank girl. Destined to destroy everything in your path with that used toyota corola, you must be fined heavily for the pontifications made in your honor behind the meeting room doors at the insurer. Once you have proven to be a safe driver, once we have broken you into where when and for how far we wish you to drive a car, we will throw a pittance your way. if its going to cost $1600 for your car to be insured for a year in what we consider the city, we will should you consider a shitty car, and a slow commute, throw as much as but not more than $320 at you. Should you however raise our ire in even the slightest, youll not see more than $50, if even that.
and god have mercy on your soul should you not continue to make accurate, diligent payments in perpetuity to our insurance company for long as you shall live. we will enact a non-continuous coverage fee on you for daring to give up your car for a few years and use the bus to save on gas.
this attack only affected workstations, so its safe to assume it wasnt taylored specifically to the corporation like say stuxnet.
more importantly, who seriously cares. it seems like every other article about malware or worms is ginned up as a cyber attack or cyber terrorism or some other buzzword invented by the DoD or defense contractors to gin up support for defense spending. If we're keeping score, the siberian pipeline attack by the CIA in 1982 is when "cyber" attacks first started. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage
any major multinational corporation in drafting a standard is preposterous. none of the largest technology companies in the world mentioned in the summary have a vested interest in ensuring interoperability between competing products at any level. Each will be forced to create their own bullshit standard when a truly open standards group gains enough participants, or they fail to steer a decent standards group straight into the ground or into their pockets.
between 2005 and 2008 a completely successful campaign to drag feet, litigate and stonewall any and all attempts toward interoperability was waged between the usual suspects. The people who actually wanted interoperability or a standard started using open office or google docs. Now we get to watch another 4 year pissing contest to see which of these navel-gazing billion dollar industries can shit all over their version of "cloud office" in the pursuit of floating their lock-ins and contracts.
In each interview im very frank with the PHB about my skill level. Ive coded infinite loops that execute in milliseconds and are written in under a week. These days whenever a big project comes around, the boss just nods and says "Wally's on it!"

the nuclear regulatory comission? ill wait on the IAEA, thank you...
er, wait...the IAEA doesnt investigate reactor faults in the United States. Because apparently american reactors just work.
Mathematics, of course!
