Why blame Obama? This is the FAA, an independent authority. He pushed them as far as I thing a President should go in interfering with what should not be part of his personal fief. Then Congress ordered them to pass regulations, which they have grumpily done.

But frankly, I'd hold the applause until after the penalty is collected and Compu-Finder is actually disbanded. Because frankly, it's a hollow victory if they move, change their corporate name, hire a fictitious body of corporate officers, and resume where they left off.

They're frakking spammers. What makes anyone think this bureaucratic announcement actually will matter?

Only Israelis are allowed to keep original citizenship, all others forswear loyalty to foreign "prince, power or potentate".

Now, WHY is that?

It's like prison, that way. You have to commit the crime again and be re-convicted, to be admitted back to the circle of convicts.

US History is the only relevant topic, concerning that failed state.

about VMWare's position on this. What on earth do they think trumps their obligations to the license they agreed to by using GPLv2 software in their product?

I wonder if they could possibly be as deluded and stubborn as SCO.

How 'bout a church where they furiously attack off-topioc self-constructed imaginary strawmen?

Oh, wait, we have Slashdot. Carry on.

Prior art.

Not saying they're delicious. They've always given me heartburn, and they bind you up something terrible, but technically this concept is already on the market.

They can't refuse entry. He's a Canadian citizen. He can't be barred from re-entering Canada.

So they did the right thing by allowing him entry. And imprisoning him in a Canadian prison. Problem solved. (For limited definitions of "problem" and twisted definitions of "solved".)

Is there a working large scale CCS project to demonstrate the truth of those facts? The only working project I know of are demonstration scale.

But I'd still be nervous, near the nozzle like that.

Is it really that easy?

I imagine initial contact is risky for all involved. If the IT guy volunteers, he could be a mole for the Federales. If the Cartel finds a likely candidate on its own head-hunt, what's to keep the guy from narcing them out?

This way, the bad guys control all aspects of the recruitment and there's absolutely no risk other than they guy turning on them while "in service"... and you have his family for leverage against that.

Raul Tejada?

Is that you?

By extension of this research, the test subject not only won't stop to help, he'd probably attack me.

Moral of the story: racism is stupid.

I LOVE your similitude! I'm using it everywhere, from now on.
