It was to make up for having awarded it to Henry Kissinger in 1973.
To do that they would have had to award it to Starlight Glimmer.
I don't want to see us talk about machines having "agency" when most people struggle with it for themselves.
And you think the NSA is run by humans? Have you ever seen pictures of the top brass at the NSA? I've seen toasters with more anthropomorphic features.
I don't get how they don't have her e-mails. The fucking NSA has everyone else e-mail, why don't they have Hillary's?
They have Hillary's emails. They are just being polite. After all, there is a fairly good chance she will be the next PO(TU)S. Don't want to piss off your boss right off the bat.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Seriously starting to think Orwell was optimist...
Not only Orwell. Given what is going on these days, it seems that Murphy was an optimist, H.P. Lovecraft was an optimist, hell it's even looking like Nietzsche was an optimist.
Desqview didn't need applications - it ran DOS programs. And it was light years ahead of 3.0 in terms of speed and stability.
It was the pretty graphics and network support in 3.11 WFW that killed Desqview (and the QEMM memory manager).
I've not found that to be true. I don't get a whole lot of troll posts, but they do show up from time to time. Occasionally they are deserved, most of the time it's clear that the moderator missed something obvious or just didn't like my attempt and humor or sarcasm.
But mod points seem to be pretty random....
And it would be awfully hard to define 'misbehaving' around here.
Except that the vast majority of threads are about topics so obtuse that even Kim Jun-un couldn't care about. I mean, what paranoid schizo government cares about a high school principal getting wound up about some pictures on Flikr? Or magnets? Or asteroids?
I believe you're forgetting about Mr. Wyden (D-OR).
However, they are both hopelessly outgunned in this quest.

Is this some dialect of BASIC?
I work for a school district in the technology department. We clearly spell out in our usage agreements that everything created on district equipment is for educational purposes only, and not to be sold for profit by either students or staff. Since this guy is using a school camera, I think this might be the policy he's running into.
Perhaps, if it was written down and his parents signed it or there was some valid way for all parties to agree with the rule.
From his Flickr site: "At the end of the [Texas Association of Journalism Educators] class, I approached the teacher confused, and asked that because I was using a school camera, and using a school press pass, do I still own my pictures? She replied that I did."
If he were using his own equipment on his own time, I'd be first in line to tell the school to blow it out his ear. But if he's covering these sporting events as a member of the yearbook staff for the school and he's turning around and selling yearbook pictures privately for his own profit, then no, I don't think he should do that.
Being on the yearbook staff does not preclude him from doing things on his own. It isn't a contractually bound obligation. Unless the press pass bound him contractually (which would be odd for a high school), it's just and ID to let you into places where the public is restricted.
In any event, the principal (at least according to TFA) is being an ass. Instead of sitting him down and discussing this rather complex real world issue, he / she (?) threatens with blackmail and suspensions. Not exactly role model material here.
So, another thread about some random clueless school principal.
Look, the vast majority of us (at least the non-ACs) have already graduated from high school. We know that your average principal has to check the school policy manual to figure out which leg to put in the trouser first. And then they mess it up half the time anyway.
Not much to see here. Some lawyer will be around presently to wack some sense into the the school district.
I suspect that CareFirst puts it's financial bottom line first and everything else a distant 115th.
Alaska law requires it. Presumably Washington state requires it (at least some clerk told me that, I did not bother to look through the statue books).
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
