schtick a little bit guys...how is this any different than government contracts to intel or amd? just replace the word government mandate with corporate contract, as most of our government is a revolving door of corporate namesakes anyhow.
take note that the f35 lightning contains 3 powerpc chips. DoD and other government projects have certain architecture and even (gasp) operating system requirtements here in the states, often mandated or enforced by legislature.
does this mean cisco gets its own icon as well? I mean, thinking back to the last slashvertisement I saw im pretty sure Plantronics is probably feeling a bit burned, what with only getting a 15 minutes of video commercial time on slashdot.
but it seems like once a month that some redneck son-of-the-soil in the deep south decides they want to axe public funding for science or healthcare. The united states is starved for competence in the technology field; its a grande accomplishment for most people to add facebook and gmail to a cellphone. its shamefully ignorant to think you can axe the computer science department of any university and somehow improve budget conditions long-term in your state. Florida saved a few million dollars here, but in 20 years when programming and computer science hasnt dissipated as a form of economic prosperity and tax revenue for states, they can look back and salute the inbred geezers that stood by and watched this happen, and the hilbilly who pandered for a few more votes as his state swirled round the bowl. I liken this prof as a gandolf at the pass. lets hope he succeeds.
on the bright side, states with academic technology programs like computer science can help to provide useful transparent voting machines for states like florida that simply pipe the voters choices to/dev/dsp. The occasional clicks they hear will serve to placate the elderly voter, as it succors a distant memory of when they used to elect george bush and approve things like axing public healthcare.
include could the FBI briing a rogue remailer online using the image?
why wasnt full disk encryption used in this case to store the private keys?
in my opinion everything from the case fans to the bolts in the mounting rails on this server are now tainted. Sell it on ebay and build a new one.
ballparking randomly on october/november for the release, tied in with this guys trip to oktoberfest. makes perfect sense.
valve is working hard to develop a linux steam client, phoronix is working tirelessly and self-referentially to insist it was the first to break this glorious rumour turned screen-shot in the hopes of selling more click-through advertising. Its a win for everyone if Valve pulls this off, (ill certainly be purchasing a new computer) but this phoronix crap is barely an article...mostly gushing about relationships with gabe newell. by the time i reached the end of it we'd said phoronix so much id forgotten what the word was.
can exist in a cow for years before symptoms manifest clearly for visual detection, its possible the steak at the supermarket is infected regardless. early symptoms include the inability of cattle to stand properly, so instead of testing the USDA simply mandated that downed cattle cannot be used for slaughter. this of course has been sidestepped as a regulation in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy#Regulatory_failures
in some cases, we cant even get it together to regulate things that will cause BSE in cattle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy#Practices_in_the_United_States_relating_to_BSE
we're talking about an industry thats basically run its own government sanctioned regulatory board. this board is a shining example of why an agency charged with regulating as well as promoting is flawed on a fundamental level.
we here at Planetary Resources are dedicated to squandering your preciously limited unrenewable fuel sources in the pursuit of delicious gold, silver, platinum and an element undiscovered yet by your race known as "the ichor." We may have said water and air, but given your planet is comprised almost entirely of water and air, this is now being recognized as a pointless greenwashing pitch and for it we apologize. you will receive air and water rations as to be determined by the overseers.

Your planet in the coming years, as it transforms into a dark husk upon which you toil in our servitude, will service us perfectly for the collection of the aformentioned foods.

in the summary its probably not. given north carolinas epidemic levels of obesity and uncontrolled diabetes, coupled with the fact that this guy was basically selling unqualified help online, i think this is an example of a pretty responsible state. Diabetes and obesity for that matter are slowly reducing the deep south to a population of blind motorized-cart parapalegics.
so good start, NC. Next step, crack down on fast food and big box stores and stop pretending the unmitigated ability to eat yourself to death is a "right" enjoyed by the people.

it seems whenever a major multinational corporation or government entity is charged with piracy, they arent. theyre simply "out of compliance" or "underlicensed" or some other equally innocuous amorphity they can escape through hiring a compliance officer, cutting a comparatively insignificant check, and saying theyre sorry. when a private citizen is charged with piracy its almost always widespread, intractable, correlated to violent terrorism, and prosecuted at the fervor of a rape case. its exactly the opposite of what it should be.
if as numerous industries do you are trying to make the case for intellectual property, it seems to do irreparable harm to the thesis to have a double standard for something so dire. if indeed using BusyBox and not adhering to the GPL or downloading the latest Nine Inch Nails album and not paying for it is just the same as stealing a car, then the logical conclusion is this police department should be disbanded. but if in practice we see a double standard then we're led to consider legitimately that piracy probably isnt as demonic as copyright clearing houses would hope you will believe.
its an interesting project, however if it continues to run on fossil fuels and petroleum distillates, its a relic from a long-term perspective. you cant design future transport with one foot in a well.
where a $200 cellphone with a multi-year contract of indentured servitude and mandatory upgrades is an essential item
but a meal that costs over $7 and doesnt come with a free cola is a sure sign of the imminent collapse of western civilization at the hands of a communist marxist kenyan muslim.
we all know missouri is a failed state full of religious extremists; letting them develop nuclear power is just a first step toward a nuclear weapon. if Missouri continues then the only option the united states is left with is a pre-emptive strike.
who is this marxist? how dare he stand for the rights of the people that elected him to office?
had this been america, we'd whip out the palm grease and start fueling vacation jets until this chicanery was put to rest.
thank goodness we've annexed most of europe under the FBI world police some time ago, or this yahoo would truly be a threat to freedom(c).
newspapers reported that america redoubled its position against nuclear proliferation across the globe. A swift and decisively negative condemnation was issued from the global superpower.
standard. most buildings will qualify for leed silver by just being near train stations/public transportation outlets and ensuring they have adequate fluorescent lighting and recycling services for paper.
its also saying nothing of its inhabitants. The building I work in still has a 4 story parking garage despite its overwhelmingly generous access to several forms of public transportation. And despite a vigorous recycling program, I still see styrofoam in the kitchen, lots of disposable plates, and computers that run constantly at unattended desks despite ACPI having been a decades old standard.
legal or ethical issues here. corporations do not "directly" ask customers about privacy issues either, instead they just bury them in a sarcophagus of TOS, EULA, Third-Party Licensing egreements, and that long triplicate contract we all sign for cellphone endentured servitude. telecommunications corporations lathed and lacquered the bed upon which customers get fucked, quite some time ago. reacting with consternation to any "violations" you may experience at this point should be a laughable endeavor worthy of public shaming.
We here at the TSA has been doing a spectacular job of undermining airport security and making a mockery of government policy in the wake of 9/11. we certainly dont need the help of airline passengers to continue this legacy, especially if in this case it takes all the fun out of clandestine patdowns and secret naked pictures. Now gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, i believe theres an 8 year old girl and an incontinent 72 year old diabetic that need some 'enhanced screening'
"the land of the free and the home of the brave" we really mean, the Netherlands, right? i mean first the anders attack which by all indications the entire populous outright refused to be intimidated by at all. Now we have the government recognizing a body of highly controversial individuals and their right to remain independently available on the internet, despite what i can only imagine is some very overt pressure from the United States State Department and its notorious foreign cables.
in stark contrast as an american, i actually feel ashamed to stand up for the national anthem. secret prisons, targeted killings, Immigrations and customs randomly kicking websites off the internet they dont like. We should probably pack in the statue of liberty at this point too; the half-million undocumented immigrants that serve as our permanent slave-class certainly havent benefitted as tired huddled masses.
is a sardontic furthering of a disposable society at the expense of its citizens. 36% of americans are obese (almost too fat to move) and another 35% are overweight. Ikea is integrating into furnature the very accoutrements of our lifestyles that are killing us. televisions do nothing more than sell commercial advertisement space and incense the general populous to cast their votes lock-step in the party lines. and for all this we pay almost a thousand dollars, and reap nothing but preventative disease at the hands of a sedentary lifestyle.
much like the crime gene, and the gay gene, is probably just another invention to drum up research funding. the modern equivalent of "glands" and "humours," a gene has come only to represent our sadly pedestrian understanding of the genetic sciences.
is to accept the fact that terrorism is extremely effective even if it fails. it builds police states and makes everyday things like travel difficult at the expense of the target nation. it forces them to divert energy and resources into possibilities and not actualities.
a better solution is to stop this "war on terror" crap and pay closer attention to what it is exactly we do that leaves a group of people so determined with nothing left to lose that they will kill thousands of your innocent civillians.
should you consider Osama Bin Laden the cause of the terrorist attacks against america, here are his demands: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver
now, while some of them are outlandish so are some promises from a politician seeking to gain or maintain an elected office. and so to have our demands on the middle eastern region been for the past 30 years. regime change, cia government overthrow, perpetually cheap oil, proxy wars, military bases at the expense of the indigenous citizens, propping up dictatorial regimes and the list goes on. But Bin Laden asked for some rather reasonable things as well that we could have done.
1. stop treating israel like some sort of king among theives. if their only justification for their city is rooted in religious text, thats fine for them. They should not have the right to force that opinion on other nations however and by virtue of their creation should at least attempt to get along with them instead of bombing the hell out of them semi-annually. the bombs, helicopters, and american artillery are what hes complaining about. our complicit enforcement of the palestinian 'warsaw ghetto' could probably be eliminated and save the tax payers a few billion dollars a year.
another quote, "You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world." Well, yeah. The carter doctrine sort of mandates we do that. our free market policy at the hands of the plutocracy has become more reliant on war as a revenue source and as a big stick lately, and we could probably reign that in.
he complains about our sanctions against iraq, how we support countries like egypt and syria despite the fact they routinely murder their own people. the most contentious place in the middle east for alot of muslims is jerusalem, and we stuck a goddamn embassy there.
im not saying the guys a doctoral scholar here; the rest of his argument is based largely on the same religious crap our evangelicals push. Im just saying we could have done maybe 25 things in the middle east differently after the 9/11 attacks that would have negated the strip searches, pat downs, border searches, and other security theater that are killing the "land of the free."
is "frozen" data? this seems like a pretty simple fucking solution. turn the servers back on for 120 days and set the fstab to read-only. Turn them back off later and continue the scapegoating process of destroying one mans free time and personal fortune in the pursuit of "copyright enforcement"
