This is getting pretty damn close to blackmail if its not already...
But Hrafnsson also said the group had no plans at the moment to release the key to a heavily encrypted version of some of its most important documents -- an "insurance" file that has been distributed to supporters in case of an emergency. Hrafnsson said that will only come into play if "grave matters" involving WikiLeaks staff occur -- but did not elaborate on what those would be.
thats because most of those being displayed are 1600x900 and are on 17"+ screens. notice he has a 14" screen and a 1440x900 resolution. i've run into the same problem because i've been looking for a laptop for months now and the only thing that has a 15" screen and a high resolution is a gaming laptop and i really don't need all that power to run office, chrome, and putty.
i've been looking for a new laptop now for months and the majority of the laptops are 1366x768 or 1600x900. thats great... if i just wanted to watch widescreen movies. but i want to run putty and connect to my linux boxes and i need that vertical screen space. the only laptops that have higher resolutions are gaming systems and i really don't need all that power to run putty and microsoft office. i wish laptop manufacturers would stop cutting down the vertical pixels.
If it was a story about UFO's flying by other aircraft or spotted in some war zone, I might believe these military personnel. But, these guys are claiming that they're visiting US nuclear weapon silos and possibly even venturing in there? Even if some UFO is able to fly up to one, I highly doubt that the military personnel are just going to sit around and gawk in amazement. I'm pretty sure jets are scrambling and bullets are flying. This sounds like total bullshit to me.
The exact same exploit could affect a poorly coded PHP site, or poorly coded JSP site, or poorly coded CGI site.
I might be misreading the article but it appears that the exploit is specific to ASP.NET and the way they implemented AES. Unless, of course, you have some other information on how to implement this attack against the other aforementioned languages.
or even better, make it work like real iron sights. when you shoot with iron sights, you focus on the front sight post and put it over a blurry image of the person/thing you're trying to shoot.
The Taliban offered to try bin Laden if the US could provide evidence
You forgot the very important piece... under Islamic law. There have already been too many cases where extremists get minor punishments or no punishments at all because of Islamic law. What makes you think that will even give Bin Laden a deserving punishment? He killed 3000 people. We wanted extradition. They said no. Basically, they're harboring him. I'd like you to justify the Taliban's position for me please.
So attacking a country that chooses to harbor a terrorist that plotted an attack against a country that left over 2000 people dead is just a war of aggression? Please try to stop pushing your agenda and down playing the real reason we went to war.
Lets not forget, if the tables were turned, and we were Afghani, these people would be "traitors".
Well, yea, sure.... that is if you want to be Taliban/Al Qaida fighting to terrorize western civilization because you disagree with the the moral views of the west.
We're not saying that you'd lie. We're saying that the prosecution will lie and the lie that they tell will be better than the truth that you will tell and in the end, the prosecution will succeed in convicting an innocent person.
how willing are you to gamble your life when the prosecution can completely misconstrue what happened? I'm certain you're ignorant to what you're talking about. If you were the one getting convicted, you'd take a much different stance. Otherwise, you might end up like this man
Willingham's case gained renewed attention in 2009 when an investigative report in The New Yorker,[1] drawing upon arson investigation experts and advances in fire science, purported to demonstrate that, contrary to the claims of the prosecution, there was no evidence that the house fire was intentionally set, and that the State of Texas executed an innocent man.
do some research and you'll see for yourself that defending yourself is not only too expensive for the average person, but its also extremely difficult when the DA can falsify evidence and testimony. And believe me, if you do some research, you'll find numerous instances of this occurring throughout the nation
and on top of that, i'm willing to bet that the 4 companies that do get the license are lobbying the california government pretty heavily. this is going to be more bullshit of politicians lining their friend's and family's pocket with money
even better is goodbye a portion of the profits for the drug cartels. the more of their income we take, the less they can spend on weapons and man power making our fight against them easier. i bet they're just as pissed about this.
Corporations aren't the uncaring robot beasts you seem to be convinced they are. Corporations are still run by people. And there's no way that the people running BP would have allowed themselves to continue pumping unthinkable amounts of oil into the ocean without putting up a real effort to stop it, bad press and huge fines or none.
I'd hate to burst your bubble but oil companies don't give a rats ass. Here's an excerpt from this article. Take note that the article is a bit old though.
In fact, more oil is spilled from the delta's network of terminals, pipes, pumping stations and oil platforms every year than has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico, the site of a major ecological catastrophe caused by oil that has poured from a leak triggered by the explosion that wrecked BP's Deepwater Horizon rig last month
But in all seriousness though, Photosynth is one amazing piece of software that is a Microsoft original. Kinect aka Project Natal is another awesome piece of technology.
Or maybe the reason the peon's are at the bottom is because they lack the mental capacity to make the correct decisions in obvious situations like this so they're trained to follow whatever it says on the screen, or in the manual. Those that are capable, eventually move out of being a peon. Not everyone is as smart as you think them to be
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those networks 3rd party providers of service that is basically Verizon or AT&T? They don't have their own cell towers right? If thats true, wouldn't this price hike also affect them?
Before you decide to make presumptuous assumptions, perhaps you should read my other posts. Yes, I have actually read the new Texas guidelines, hell no I'm not a Texan, no I'm not a damn parrot, and have you read the curriculum? I really don't care what the curriculum before was. If the curriculum before mirrored what it is now, then the curriculum before was just as bad. My main problem is with the separation of church and state, or the lack thereof. You're going to have a hard time proving that the separation of church and state is pristinely clear in their new document.
When Israel was founded, there weren't any countries surrounding it. It was all part of the Ottoman empire which was destroyed in the first world war. However, the concept of Israel and the place had been decided long before that and the ottoman empire actually catered to it by selling land to the jews for settlements in the holey land as early as the 1100's.
This is completely wrong. The Land of Israel was founded thousands of years before the Ottoman empire existed. It dates back till around the 11th century BCE. Besides that, the Ottoman empire didn't even exist until the 1300's. Israel itself wasn't actually founded until 1948.
Perhaps the you could benefit from a non-Texas school curriculum.
Although I didn't quote the entire text, I didn't take everything out of context. The first amendment one, after reading everything about it, I did misread it. But for the other stuff, you're just pigeon-holing the quoted text to assume that the board of education won't do what I believe to be on their agenda.
It doesn't mean what you are attempting to make it out to mean. If you read the entire line and not just what you need in order to impose your point, you would see that it's talking about political ideologies.
Please explain to me in US law where God is supposed to come into play with politics. I don't care that neither of us know exactly what they're talking about. The problem is that they are bringing a christian God into a politics discussion. There is no room for that.
The requirement again is referring to ideology except here it expect the students to understand the traditions of the times that influenced the ideology.
It doesn't just mention religious traditions. It explicitly says to reference biblical law. And where exactly in history does it say that biblical law influenced our constitution? I'd like to see a reference to this. Of course, it doesn't exist so its up to them to fabricate a religious link.
The student is expected to: (A) explain major political ideas in history, including the laws of nature and nature’s God, unalienable rights
What in the world is nature's God?
identify major intellectual, philosophical, political, and religious traditions that informed the American founding, including Judeo-Christian (especially biblical law),
Didn't know that our constitution took roots from the ten commandments
analyze the importance of the First Amendment rights of petition, assembly, speech, and press
I could have sworn there was an establishment clause in the First Amendment... but apparently, I have a misunderstanding of whats in the First Amendment.
but I doubt that you have looked into the details of the matter
Actually, no. You're quite wrong. I've actually looked into the details of the debate. However, its clear from your response that you haven't looked into the details of what the changes are. So if you'd like to educate yourself a bit, you can see the details directly from the Texas State Board of Education's website
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Board member Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, another social conservative, opened Friday's board meeting with an invocation that referred to the U.S. and its history as a "Christian land governed by Christian principles."
"I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the spirit of the savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses," she said.
uhh... what part of existing text books is so hard to understand? since you clearly don't understand, let me elaborate... california says i don't want the texas edition of the us history books. i want the 6th edition that was printed last year that doesn't have texas' bullshit in it. i want 1 million copies of that.

In fact I honestly can't think of anything MS originally invented. Maybe MS-BASIC back in the distant disco decade (70s) but that's about it.
How about this innovative and original MS piece?
But in all seriousness though, Photosynth is one amazing piece of software that is a Microsoft original. Kinect aka Project Natal is another awesome piece of technology.
