Sure they can. But what does it suggest when someone is articulating that favoring by complaining about companies expanding and white males moving in for the employment opportunities.

It suggests they have a problem with white males moving in.

I had two sites i used to administer that were constantly getting infected with something. They hired kids to work the night shift and they would get bored and surf anywhere you could imagine.

At one site, instituting a computer use policy, proxy, and a blacklist like dan's guardian along with fetching the mail to an internal server and scanning before delivery was enough to curb it to 1 minor infection in 5 years. At the other site, this didn't even come close. We had to completely lock down the internet and approve specific sites and domains as needed. This has yielded no infections in the four or five years i remained with them.

Both sites have or had a public wifi and separate linux systems for guest access on a separate subnet the employees could use (when guests weren't ) but for some reason they insisted on using company workstations.

I stopped working with them about two years ago. I dunno what they have now but i saw one of the companies is being sued for a data breach with credit card numbers.

Bing, the uspo, academic journals, and a lot of other places. that would stop them from having any impact by returning garbage results.

As for snagging ideas. Nothing would stop that. In fact i have found the auto complete in some searches i do shows ideas i already searched for. This means that Google is already exposing ideas to others that can be taken advantage of by not just Google.

Yes i am not aware. Show me some links and credible sources.

Yes, i have the balls to recognize reality. No I'm not a democrat. And your complaint seems to be about the size of government not anything to do with waste.

Granted, a lot of what government does could be called a waste but the funding for it is largely not wasted in its application. Let's be real.

There is not enough waste to cut to pay for it. Cutting waste has been a political whipping post for quite a while now.

We have to think about how it is going to be paid for. This is something new and not currently being done which is why currently agencies can charge a portion of the costs. Our options are raising taxes, deficit spending, or using existing funding which cuts into mission objectives. I'm not saying it is not a good idea, just that it is not as simple as saying do it.

Maybe it is just natural to you and you do not see it. But you are in fact anti white male which you have shown in your comments about diversity. This article points white males out as a problem displacing diversity. You are commenting about how you want diversity and saying it is a problem too.

Now if you were actually encouraging minorities to move to Seattle and enjoy the prosperity, i wouldn't think twice about it. But it seems your problem is white males moving in at a faster pace than others. You as well as the article's author seem to be in the same boat.

I do not think you understand. It costs money in terms of employees pay, office space, equipment, bandwidth and so on just to post it online. This needs to be paid somehow. It will either require more budget allocations from congress or come from the existing budgets meaning their existing missions will not be performed.

And no. You cannot just post documents. Your name, address, and social security numbers might be in them. These documents need to be vetted for non public information.

There are legitimate reasons to have secrets. If i came into a bunch of money, I wouldn't want every crack addict knowing it. If my wife cheated and we worked it out, I wouldn't want everyone knowing about it. If i was looking for aother job, i wouldn't want my employer to know about it until I gave them notice. If the government has a back door, it is only a matter of time before others have access to it too.

Are you willing to increase your taxes paid by 20% just to staff enough people for my "UFO" and "Anal probe" requests in 30 different ways to every single agency i can think of so i can prove all UFO sightings are government conspiracies an all alien anal probes are means to punish and discredit people who are thorns in the side of the government or some crony company they support? Or should something like the department of health and human services spend a good portion of their budget on these rather than their stated missions? I can see it now. FEMA fails to respond to some natural disaster stating their budget was already burned through fielding FOIA requests.

I agree with you in principle, I just look at the practical application of it. Probably unlike you, I do see a need for some secrets to remain in government. I think it's mostly to national defense and comments or advice given but not adopted over political matters. For example, issues like the civil rights act or giving women the vote could have turned out differently if everything we now know was instantly available when it transpired.

They also have no way of distinguishing codes used in furthering their goesl. For instance we could nickname components of a bomb recipe the same as foods. "I'm having a party, what can you bring that we can put on the grill" could be a code for lets bomb something, got any explosives. And the response "nothing but i have plenty of eggs and bacon if I can stay over" could mean I'm in- no explosives but lors of ammo and guns. Someone else could chime in with "i need to stay over too and i have plenty of beer and some beef for the BBQ" could mean I'm in and have these components of explosives.

And all that can be determined over the kitchen table or in another country or whatever in advance. No amount of listening in will catch that before something happened and would be a shaky guess only pointing to a connection between people after the fact.

I would suggest that if you say things neo-nazis say, you might be considered associated with them. Just like if you say things communist, or republican or fascist or whatever, people might connect you to them and think you support the crazy shit the crazy people say.

Now if you are complaining that there are not enough minorities or enough gays or whatever, then yes, you have to either defend or distance yourself from crap others like you say.

Words are generally the catalyst of violence.

When is the last time a bar fight broke out when no words at all were said? How often does it happen?

Get real, live in the real world. Even the courts recognize that there are such things as fighting words.

Yes, he is saying that when you go around pissing people off, do not be surprised when they get pissed off and get violent. That is what some people do when they get pissed off and it's been a part of human nature and probably an evolutionary key to survival since we were apes. And yes, apes do get malicious and violent when pissed. It's even part of animal nature.

It shouldn't be unlawful in the first place (and ultimately will be found unconstitutional if the woman raises enough funds to challenge it properly).

It wasn't that the woman refused to serve them, she refused to serve them in a way that went against her constitutionally protected freedom of religion. That is the discrimination involved here. But instead of the gay couple going to one of the hundreds of other bakers capable of making a wedding cake who have no issues at all with gay weddings, they are intolerant and sue knowing that it is a religious belief because they want to attack the religious.

And don't give me that but she is running a business bullshit. Soldiers can object and opt out of killing the enemy when we are at war because of religious freedoms and they openly entered into a profession that is somewhat of a known job requirement that you might have to kill someone. The first amendment says congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion- not that you lose your rights and freedoms if you open a business.

I'll tell you right now that your experience isn't typical. It's not even based on reality from my experience. I've worked at a lot of jobs doing a lot of things- most of these things are crap jobs most others do not want to do. I've had minorities work circles around me and I have had idiots who were basically place holders for quotas that caused me to work 3 times as much as I should have.

There are jobs run by incompetent management who value race, gender, and appearances over skills or performance specifically because it fits some magic number that they think stops them from being at risk for some lawsuits. It's like getting stuck working with the boss's relatives who only have a job because of their relation else they would have already been shit canned long ago.
