Shut up, Toby.
His name is Kunte Kinte.
I hold out hope that the two of them are getting air time not because they could win, but because they are more interesting than Clinton v. Bush. Plenty of time for that boring crap later.
Vendors cannot be held responsible for stupid (or non-existent) engineering and policy.
Without knowing the GS/contractor divide at OPM, it's hard to say who is ultimately to blame. If OPM gave carte blanche to the contractor, the latter is generally the one at fault. If the government micro managed the contract and ignored suggestions, the blame is back with them.
Jim Webb doesn't strike me as particularly interested in the office.
That Goldwater girl was never liberal enough to want it.
Where in the various treaties negotiated in the recent past has a "blind trust" as you term it, been an essential part? Seriously, you'd cast out all forms of diplomacy as being too trusting, and instead prefer war? Have you ever been in a war? Have you ever seen civilians killed because they had the misfortune of living nearby a perceived threat? If you had, then I believe that you would (eventually) prefer a flawed diplomacy to what promoters of war would profess to be the perfect solution.
There are other options besides this crap deal and war. But neither Obama nor you want to talk about them, because they'd make the president look like the fool* he is.
*and that's the most generous term applicable.
There's a lot of "they're just trying to backdoor you" type talk. For those who didn't bother to look at the code repos -> it's almost entirely Puppet manifests, not code.
The reason it "smells funny" is because they are going the facebook route.
You had to give an email that you had to verify, and everyone that has verified that goes into your contacts list will be matched and mapped.
Your calender and other info will helpfully be uploaded as well as your pictures. Adobe Flash is also included into the system, but can't be removed.
If you try to remove groove music you'll get blocked. etc etc.
It's not your system anymore - It's microsoft's information harvester. No wonder it's free.
I have no objection to the science of GMO. It is the business of GMO that I do not trust.
The difference between conventional hybrids and GMOs is that the the set of plants and animals that can be obtained by the former over any given time frame is a tiny subset of those that can be obtained by the latter. GMO gives food producers a great increase in power, and as a great philosopher once observed, "With great power comes great responsibility". I don't think the current food companies have the necessary responsibility.
With conventional hybrids, they are more limited in what they can do, and it can take longer to achieve a given desired organism. These limitations give us a chance to make sure that they are not misusing their power.
... just don't assume the people already trying are stupid. This is a legitimately difficult issue.
A big thing that this coding concept doesn't quite grasp is that the "hackers" are sitting there f'ing with your code AS you write it.
And you can't just fork the code if you have a disagreement with them.
The trick is to think ahead 10 moves and put something in the system that will seem meaningless initially but which at a later juncture will trigger and deal a savage blow to hackers.
Clever buried tricks in the law are irrelevant when the rule of law itself is being tossed aside, as we see with the current administration. Don't try to be clever. Try to be principled, and then defend those principles.
Guns do nothing on their own, so calling them 'gun deaths' is disingenuous, and allows you to ignore a multitude of other relevant factors.
I'm on 10166 but when I try to launch Visual Studio I get a bad install warning on some of the choices to start it.
I loaded Steam and tried defense grid 2 but the video drivers aren't working properly.
Start up and surfing is faster than Ubuntu 14 was on the laptop - so that was an eye opener.
I hate that windows is moving to type it to find it, I prefer list it and click it.
I don't want to remember what what I need to use. I want the list of stuff so I can find what I need to use.
