"On March 17, 2003, Lord Goldsmith, Attorney General of the UK, set out his government's legal justification for an invasion of Iraq. He said that Security Council resolution 678 authorised force against Iraq, which was suspended but not terminated by resolution 687, which imposed continuing obligations on Iraq to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction. A material breach of resolution 687 would revive the authority to use force under resolution 678. In resolution 1441 the Security Council determined that Iraq was in material breach of resolution 687 because it had not fully carried out its obligations to disarm. Although resolution 1441 had given Iraq a final chance to comply, UK Attorney General Goldsmith wrote "it is plain that Iraq has failed so to comply"."

I for one do not trust our governments to tell me the truth, or engage in wars unless necessary anymore.

"From January 2008 to September 2010, Elop worked for Microsoft as the head of the Business Division, responsible for the Microsoft Office and Microsoft Dynamics line of products, and as a member of the company's senior leadership team. It was during this time that Microsoft's Business Division released Office 2010.
In September 2010, it was announced that Elop would take Nokia's CEO position, replacing Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, and becoming the first non-Finnish director in Nokia's history. On March 11, 2011 Nokia announced that it had paid Elop a $6 million signing bonus, “compensation for lost income from his prior employer," on top of his $1.4 million annual salary."

I think he will do just fine leading Microsoft!

Just like has happened over and over and over again, as soon as the next president gets into office the funding will be cut and the program cancelled. The Moon missions were a fluke of timing and circumstances, and nothing so grand is likely to be repeated anytime soon. Space is now becoming the playground of capitalism rather than the purvey of the government, and I think NASA is going to become an obscure part of the space race within a few decades.

"There are two main methods for determining voluntary consent: "opt in" (only those who have given explicit consent are donors) and "opt out" (anyone who has not refused is a donor). Opt-out legislative systems dramatically increase effective rates of consent for donation. For example, Germany, which uses an opt-in system, has an organ donation consent rate of 12% among its population, while Austria, a country with a very similar culture and economic development, but which uses an opt-out system, has a consent rate of 99.98%."

How is an opt-out system for prisoners any different from the general populace?

"For a man whose singular vision alienated many – a point illustrated by Kutcher's straight-talking, temper-riddled reading of Jobs – those closest to him are barely given time to voice their concerns, let along develop as characters. Jobs's Apple co-founder, self-taught software whizz Steve "Woz" Wozniak (Josh Gad), already a vocal critic of the film, is presented as a mere backdrop. We learn little about Woz: where he came from, how he met Jobs, or what happened after he quit Apple, dissatisfied with the direction in which the company was heading."

Heres a link to info about the film itself: Jobs (film).

Am I the only one who finds this truly frightning; that the photocopier has a bug in a sub system that is basically reading the content of the documents being photocopied? I didn't even know photocopiers did this normally. This is another prime example of how organizations like the NSA can theoretically get their fingers into cracks we didn't even know existed. I would never have thought that something I photocopy could be intercepted, but apparently it can. The bug part of this issue is just a small thing relative to the larger issue, IMHO!

By the way, I read in another comment about the new slashdot ipad app. I'm posting this comment from it. What a breath of fresh air compared to the slashdot mobile site!

That's not all of it. A big part of the push for raids is the immediacy and control it gives them of the situation. Modern police are showing an increasing aversion to respecting citizens, instead favoring to treat them all as serfs. A thug never wants to sit and wait and watch a serf, they want to dominate them. It's closely related to the psychotic need modern police have for submission in regular interactions with the public. A police officer will never even listen to you unless he feels you are submissive to him. He will simply continue to escalate his violence until you submit, or are dead.

I'm not sure how this resolution compares to the MacBook Pro 'retina' displays, but I agree with you that the resolution is the main weak point of the Airs. I was surprised they didn't introduce a retina version with this refresh cycle. That being said, no matter how good Samsung ( or whoever) hardware gets, it will always lack the single most important feature of the MacBook Air: OSX. As a person who after many years of playing with various unix and Linux distros decided that my work machine needed to be as hassle free as possible, I just couldn't tolerate having to use any current offering other than OSX. It's a sad state of affairs.

Forget the fact that she is a federal employee whose salary has to be approved by Congress. Forget the fact that she works for an agency whose power is subject for Congressional oversight (so at the very least they can summon her to testify in order to see if her job is worth paying for with the funds they approve). Everyone can be subpoenaed to testify. Everyone can refuse to testify. But no one can refuse to testify after testifying.

Very very interesting!

lmao!!

okdokey!!
