I guess you forgot to RTFA...

The advisory was issued as a suggestion to people who may be looking to apply for jobs working with secret materials.

Whether it makes sense or not is immaterial. If you are walking along the street, and pick up a document marked secret and then share it with your friends, you have violated the "rules". It doesn't matter how you obtained the material, its how you handle it that matters.

If you feel a need to share these documents, then maybe working for the government is not the best career path for you. Yes it's a game, but its a voluntary game, and you know what you sign up for.

That is a bad assumption. Most materials are "Need to Know" regardless of the classification level. Someone working at the State Dept. does not have "free" access to DoD materials.

The problem is that the US government has not declassified these documents yet [even though they are freely available]. This causes a "sticky" point in the process of applying for a new clearance / renewing an existing one, since technically viewing the leaked documents counts as a violation[viewing materials that you are not authorized for]. So it's not the US Government controlling peoples thoughts, it just a very draconian interpretation of a convoluted info sec policy.

What was the detainment of Japenese American done by FDR called? At least Bush didn't pull anything as racially motivated...

I think its because porch monkey usually refers to someone who doesn't have a job and has no real purpose in life, so they "hang" out on the porch all day.

And of course, we all know that black people don't want to work for a living, so the only thing porch monkey can refer to is a black person.

I wonder if referring to the curious george books would be considered racist? Carrying around a monkey on the back of a white person is obviously an allegory to white people paying for welfare....

Maybe pent up repression that W got all kind of satire, and O is untouchable?

Remember the good ole days, when there was a charismatic candidate that promised a new Washington, one that represents the people and not littered with lobbyists.

I guess GW really messed the country up...

Its not entirely the cops' fault. I think it is because traffic enforcement has moved away from "public safety" and more into a revenue stream.

Considering most situations where a parent would use this (park / mall / large crowds), does it really need "satellite" tracking abilities? I would imagine just a standard beacon transmitter and receiver would be enough. Most of the scenarios I can imagine would be where the child was within 1 mile of the parent, if not less.

Also, I'd have to imagine that if someone is depraved enough to "kidnap" a kid, they know to cut off the watch and backpack / etc.

And even with the "32 cores", the Niagara was beaten out by cheaper x86 servers.

Sun basically killed themselves by canceling the Sparc line. They never ramped the clocks on cores, and the multi-threaded model that they designed towards was a fringe case at best.

I guess RDM doesn't watch the show, because his explanations only make sense if you forget 80% of the "history." Millions of skinjobs are still on the colonies.

Even in the finale, the recon reported several basestars resupplying the colony. That is how they determined the best spot for a jump.

The finale was great due to the acting and the first hour. But as a wrapup for the shows overlying themes, I wanted more.

The finale was a decent episode. But I think that ever since the destruction of the HUB, the show was rudderless.

I think that this is one of the problems when the central premise of a show is a "mystery." It always ends up that the big reveal is a huge disappointment.

Also, what happened to all of the basestars that Cavil had under control? Not to mention, the "millions" of cylons on the colonies. Wouldn't they lay out to search for the final five to rebuild resurrection?

I think the finale needed a 20-30 year jump forward to show aging skinjobs scanning earth, and not detecting technology, continue searching for the final five. It would have given closure to the show's overall theme. Instead we just get a "spiritual" explanation. The reason I feel this way is back when they found the temple of jupiter, Cavil advocated nuking the planet and spending an infinite amount of time searching for earth. Even without resurrection, I think that the remaining cylons would have the same sentiment.

The other thing that had not been really discussed, and will hopefully come out in the next few entries, is what happened to the artificial intelligence that was the original cylon race? Maybe "the plan" will give us more insight to cylon society.
