give me 20 minutes, a roll of duct tape, and a stack of business cards...im about to fashion together your new god in record time....and of course, its 5g.
to notice a few key problems with the stuxnet fiasco so far:
1. no one has proven iran is intent on seeking nuclear weapons with this technology; their construction of nuclear power plants seems to run contrary to this solely western hypothesis
2. no one has yet explained why iran cannot have the same nuclear weapons as the united states and its allies. Highlighting the fact that they are state sponsors of terror is irrelevant as we've done the same thing numerous times in history. the centrifuges didnt just contract a random virus that happened to not have affected any american hardware, much the same as siberias natural gas pipeline didnt just explode on its own in 1982. iraqi scientists arent just getting killed accidentally.
listen, the correlation being made isnt valid.. The majority of the planet is facing one of the largest economic recessions in history. when you factor in jobless, many places in the united states harbor as much as 25% real unemployment. around 40 states in the united states of america are actively borrowing money from the federal government to pay for unemployment.
people are gobbling up loans and going back to college under a historically burdenous debt, but this isnt because one degree has suddenly become any more enticing than another. People have equated a masters degree with a greater potential to find work; this conjecture wasnt even remotely true before the recession. loan officers are encouraging this because they have a monetary incentive to do so.
expect upon graduation the same fate to befall education as has housing. These newly minted masters graduates will find themselves declaring bankruptcy and defaulting on education loans.
here in california with 'charter schools' which have turned out to be little more than money laundering operations for major corporations, business elite, and a handful of food service vendors. Corporations are also granted another platform to showcase to the public a model of business sans union.
businesses are dismally suited toward the task of education. Their mandate, a legal one at that, is to maintain and grow shareholder earnings and profit.children are complex and perform differently. as such they are a poor if not dangerously unpredictable revenue generator for shareholders. So, instead of measuring childrens success in education by plausible means like college enrollment rates or hireability in the workplace, businesses running education tend to emphasize performance based on standardized testing batteries and total number of students enrolled; a sort of quantity over quality model
i surmise when bill says 'education reform' what hes tacitly implying is nothing less than what was implied when charter schools were created.
infiltrate a well documented, structred and purposed organization comprised of heirarchially ordered members, a mission statement and a sem-closed forum in which ideas are traded back and forth? sure.
can they infiltrate a global syndicate of decentralized professional hackers and free thinkers bent on protecting freedom and exposing the truth? no, probably not seeing as theyre one of the targets anyhow.
this victory is irrelevant for the 4.8 million children currently being home schooled. Sadly this means,
as statistically a higher percentage of homeschool children receive college education than their public peers,
around 4.8 million college inductees are going to have a really bad semester of biology.
or perhaps it doesnt matter, as a parallel market of hundreds of christian colleges
will dedicate itself to ensuring none of these children have ever to atone for evolution.

This is mostly directed toward the op that decided to write the stories summary...but here goes
I love how your phone is chinese, your clothes are chinese, your kitchen appliances are chinese and your furniture is chinese,
yet you still think after complacently bankrolling what american politicians still insist is a 'communist' state, that you're entitled to
any semblance of a dissenting opinion.
either take a real stand against the arguably communist empire you so openly support, or shut the hell up and buy another TV.
peppering your articles with sensationalist sentament about human rights in china makes no sense otherwise,
and its even more nonsensical when people realize you're american and living under the patriot act.
technology can only be applied toward advancing biomedical sciences
in the greater interest of the public good and indeed that of humankind in general
its just too bad the corporation thats developed it regards its customers as bumbling tits,
their private information as no more than a step stone toward profit,
and their technology as some type of (literal as well) black box from which only cash should flow into and
conformity exercised in its presence
LulzSec and anonymous have given me a rather soured opinion of the global standard that is sony.
but i think they could start turning it around slowly if they started showing more interest in...humanity?
release the hand-thing as open source or under a floss license of their choosing...that would be neat.
otherwise its like watching OCP or the Tyrell corporation at this point:\
what additional engineering measures will need to be
incepted and retrofitted to this system of dams in order to modernize them
in light of global warming and climate change?
had this system not been built, what would america have been like?
has our recent industrial farming (recent meaning ~30 years) affected the outcome of this system any?
how can it/should it scale in the future?
sure, the source of the article is ominous and i take anything i hear from someone who
tries to politicize or modernize the third reich with a grain of salt...but as slashdot readers we owe
it to ourselves to study the article with an objective scientific mind.
this thing is three fucking pages of high-level dreck about the labels the author saw and what they mean in general
at the end of page 3 im told not to despair and keep the faith as the industry tunes its testing parameters to top notch standards!
i did however get a nice bombardment of inline advertising for the site, side bar adverts for the sponsors,
and enough fucking namedropping to fill a grocery cart with products tattooed in symbols and codes
that by the end of the article i could only appreciate from afar.
an accomplishment really, its like gloating about the uptime counter on the quarter million dollar accounting server with occasional atrocious mathematics.
slashdot ran out of web 2.0 tags, thats right, they'd used up every beveled edge, every shiny corner, and every bloated semi two dimensional image they could find to create slashdot 2.0.

a law was proposed which would make it illegal to film or photograph a farm as well. The problem is customers have grown to appreciate the warm wool pulled over their eyes that depicts farms as wholesome, good, and kindhearted. A place where animals die of natural causes and everyone attends church on sundays. The average consumer doesnt understand high density/high intensity farming and agriculture and when prompted, generally does not care to learn about it. the educated consumer understands high density/high intensity farming and agriculture, but still readily retreats to his Pepperidge farm fantasy. The facts stand and yet we ignore them in the pursuit of ever larger quarter pounders and ever more delicious ribs. A factory farm is a hell mouth, strewn with feces six-inches deep and animals literally one foot in the grave. chickens are too bloated from hormones to stand, cows too drugged to care about the gaping abscess that was once an eye, pigs boiled alive in pursuit of shaving seconds from a cycle time on a machine and immigrant labor too illegal to question a single action or decision for fear of losing their american dream.
once in a while, just every so often, an undercover PETA investigation might bring light to these torture engines. workers may find comfort in this as a means to perhaps ending the suffering they witness daily but even with this bills defeat, the fact remains: consumers blissfully ignorant will fill in the blanks and avoid the truth; effectively marching lockstep in the corporate machine of factory farming.
and if you dont care to know where your brisket or tenderloin or chicken nugget comes from, you have no right to contest your cancer, low sperm count, obesity and heart disease.
why we even continue to cover stories like this on slashdot. If not for some element of moral superiority knowing
our nation "does not engage" in this kind of behaviour then why? every slashdotter who bought the latest
nook, kindle, iphone, ipad or droid just tacitly and communally signed off on this censorship practice being okay.
as in the communist state all labour is a component of the states interest and unionized as such under its watchful eye .
its like saying walmart has suddenly decided it will fire anyone who says the word "groundhog" in the meat department
when you buy 5 pounds of sliced turkey there every week. you dont exactly have the unfettered right to complain.
done to protect customers. Because if customers lose confidence in a brand, or a product, a feature or a service, they're one step closer to realizing they may never have needed the aforementioned item.
make no mistake...this law is being enacted to protect two things: conspicuous consumption and the requirement for american consumers to be both poorly educated and wanton in their purchases.
both of these elements are cornerstones in modern american society upon which our class system is based and our wealth structures maintained.
developers worry that closed platform multinational vendor may deprecate without concern
bloated proprietary framework in favour of "Next Big Thing(c)" in order to shore up appearance
of internet dominance. further research suggests multinational vendor may dabble in/support "next big thing"
until it loses its questionable interest, profits slip, lawsuits ensue, or wacky CEO sings songs.
all this followed by analysis/fearmongering/rampant speculation that closed platform multinational vendor may have
