any credibility or authority this theologian had was tarnished when he imposed his censorship, and smashed the minute he threatened a lawsuit.

TL;DR: i already have a "driverless car." its called the subway.
mainstream vendors will completely ignore this. guys like Dell and HP have been testing the technology extensively to make sure it works on their products. it will be proprietary, guarded, and hard to manage, and probably bloated just like every other standard theyve championed.
small players will either choose to ignore the technology entirely, or develop their own convoluted undocumented implementation that manages to lock out anything except what was imaged on the device to begin with. Expect the usual BSD and Linux hackers to rise from the shadows to fix another broken mess of industry detritus.
i expect this to be one more thing i either loathe or disable as a sysadmin. UEFI, welcome to the hallowed esteems of DRAC, BMC, IPMI, ACPI, and APMI.
to the van-halen-esque"m&m" clauses of large bands or performance artists. some of it may seem pedantic, but its designed to ensure everyone on every level of the event is fully briefed and understands the context of the event. for Van-Halen it was to ensure things as simple as stage security and crowd safety didnt get overlooked.

"The ability to reconstruct shredded documents will potentially yield information that may save lives or offer critical information about an adversary's plans."
im really hard pressed to find any case in which unless I can correctly reassemble a shredded document, people will die, so lets just forget they ever said this.
I can however postulate numerous adversaries (wikileaks, bradley manning, the pirate bay, julian assange, anyone currently serving a sentence in guantanamo for possession of a casio watch) who qualify as potentially nefarious document shredders.
TL;DR: Help the government spy on its own citizens, and we'll send you enough money to pay down those intractable federally backed student loans for another year.
security corporations that house their own research "centers" or "divisions" and expect the findings to be taken with any degree of credibility like cern. from tfr, the group basically wrote an egrep script to parse about a month or so of channel logs, then converted their "analysis" into pretty pictures. the pretty pictures are then ginned up with nuggets of knowledge like "Since forums provide a sense of community, they are a natural location for social interaction." and "Hacking has become more and more complicated with several components required to execute attacks". toss in a few buzzwords like lulzsec, and you're done after 14 pages with a very large font.
TL;DR: this is produced to be consumed by customers, not technical audiences like slashdot.
the weekly multilevel department meeting included caffeinated coffee this time, forcing all in attendance to reconsider things like domain suspension, repainting the parking lot into one great big parking space, and reassigning the gender and sexual preferences of the copy machine.
french website that conducted their own investigation of the logs and determined that because they saw a bluecoat header, it was obviously bluecoat. they then reminded their audience they had no concrete evidence bluecoat had sold directly to syria any product. furthermore from a very generic, single header line, the exact model of the product was determined.
id be way more inclined to believe the article as well, had it not been ended with the line "This is year 2011, states and private companies are here to protect you feel safe."
is the obvious foot-dragging old-guard mentality of Detroit.
theres no real incentive to change or innovate anything since they can lobby government bodies to simply inject cash when theyre punished by the market. these companies are headed by people who charter private jets to washington for their dole, and when faced with the disgusting irony of it simply cherry-pick a "hybid" or "green" car to return to washington with. the car or truck they drive doesnt matter, it wont be produced for consumption or if it was, it will be killed in a year (chrysler aspen anyone?)
Arguably the only incentive for chevy to produce the volt was that it was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century by bureaucrats. As for ford and its hybrid malibu, it was a predictable cat-and-mouse reaction to the Camry, which had long been known to detroit as the yearly kick in the teeth from japan. Its hybrid drivetrain and regenerative braking were so embarassingly identical to toyotas synergy drive that it was forced into a patent deal.
so yeah i dont fault these guys for headed to silicon valley. detroit automotive industries are to engine design as Dennys is to the culinary arts.
the government is operating almost literally on a month-to-month basis, just barely avoiding financial default and shutdown. Its house majority a collection of pot-bellied reactionary bureaucrats who dismiss everything from climate science to alternative energy and evolution.
implies this will happen in european cities, which is actually possible. take California, one of our most progressive states for example. I live in LA, and we cant even keep the streets paved. traffic lights along wilshire routinely pulse and blink on and off at night for no reason. We didnt even get a single competent bike lane until mayor Vilagrosa was run over by a truck on his bike commute to work. America wont see this for 25 years, if ever.
capitalist class may vote to allow itself to encroach evermore into your personal life with the harmless premise of offering additional goods and services that you, the consumer, have been questionlessly determined to purchase regardless of what you think.
telecommunications and the internet, are these things really all that relevant to international business? I cant imagine they serve any other purpose than airborne cattle-cars for the unwashed in economy class, and exotic chariots of booze and decadence for wealthy elite.
private corporations routinely pay IT contractors more than their own IT workers for the privilege of
being able to quickly hire and fire anyone they like without the cumbersome and frustrating effort of dealing with health, dental and life insurance as well as 401k and
training/certification benefits. Thats right, the art of oursourcing is also a clever means of engineering around your inherent value as a human being. Much the same as "benefits" are a delightful means of ensuring corporations never pay their employees what theyre really worth. all glory to the invisible hand of the market.
against manned space flight. we as a species were never designed to do anything outside of the blue earth, and its hardly likely we'll engineer a way around millions of years of evolution. Dont get me wrong, I stand with science in the hopes that one day we may colonize another planet, but i cant see us expecting months or years of spaceflight to accomplish it.
lets just cut past this ginned-up whore called an apps contest and get to the heart of the matter
2011 fiscal austerity, aka the usual round of budget cuts, have left us with just enough money to say thanks,
but not enough money to employ you. all the good projects have been tarted up and pimped out to defense contractors
and special interest pet projects where someone will inevitably pocket the cash and deliver a project that has more to do with
racing stripes buzzwords and stakeholder revenue than it ever had to do with space. GM once got a contract of ours, and subsequently delivered a robonaut bolted to a car, so yeah
we're used to this by now.
lets make it open source, its really the only semblance of dignity we can give you guys after you realize most of your code will either
never get used due to budget cuts, or be poached by defense contractors and pet projects with whom you will have to fight mercilessly to
ensure adherence to the GPL.
we screwed you all through a complex and highly guarded system of think tanks, policy centers, and lobbyists. to those of you who blame us, know that you are powerless and mute in our presence as have you always been. to those of you who blame the black person running the country, your obedience is duly noted. your television is working properly and serving its intended purpose.

if ugandan kids use VIM too?
it seems like tons of other countries have hired post-graduate level engineers to run their countries and for the most part its turned out okay.
here in america i cringe at the thought of an intellectual or scientist leading the nation. they would predictably be branded an out of touch elitist.

your state university doesnt want undergraduates, because it doesnt fulfill their mandate of top 25 institutions in america.
