Living in Hawaii is nice because its the same season all year. The only problem (if you call it that) travel to anywhere else in the world is expensive. So my vacations usually consist of flying to other islands or spending a weekend on the north shore. I tend to find that I don't feel like going anywhere else and always want to come back.

No one can tell the difference between the guy leaking the information because he wanted the public to know and leaking the information because of some vindictive motive about her husband writing a piece about the fact that there was no deal to sell yellowcake to Iraq because he wanted the public to know... So its public needs to know about the truth or the same punishment for all?

I got an extra Pay Day out because I get my direct deposit every Wed. Woohoo 5 pay days this month. It happens every three months or so.

Also think about education, India and China have been pumping money into engineering and science degrees for the past 20 years and general push people to go abroad to study and work. Its not a surprise that they have more volume but that doesn't always equate to better works just as in the US that hasn't been pushing as much money into higher degrees. We probably have the same percentage of really good workers compared to overall graduates of higher levels but when you have more graduates, you have more physical people that can do a better job. Dealing with physical people nominal data in forms of percentages doesn't work as well to compare number of people that can fill the 2+ million jobs that are needed in the Tech industry. Also take a look at the rankings for the OEDC countries on education standards and see where we are. I have not had a problem getting a job in US over the past 5 years and my salary has over doubled in the past three years with a computer science degree. You just have to be good at what you do.

Just think about gun homicide in the United States, there are over 11 K a year just with guns, not including other means of murder, and I never see 11 K convictions. I would just go with quantity. Commit so many crimes that they can not possible investigate them all. Its like a DDoS attack in real life. This is even harder because look at how many governments you have to coordinate with and the span of geographic distance you have to cover.

The sun is going to be outputting a lot of energy for a couple billion years. Solar is going to be the best bet, even if that means collecting the energy in space and transporting it (microwave or otherwise) to the ground. Sun shines everywhere and is not affected as much as everything else like hydro dams of rivers that dry up or wind that shifts (because wind mills are directionally places) or anything else that could happen. This is especially true if you collect the energy in space. If you look at return on investment and the steady supply, sun is the only way to go. I would like to see an energy source that is based on earth that will last as long as the sun will.

I think I just read was. wah wah wah, that is mine not yours, even though I am not doing anything about it, but that is mine, mine, mine, mine, mine wah wah wah, Sounded like my old job, a guy would always complain that something didn't get fixed. I coded the fix and he would back it out because that is his job and not mine and then i would get in trouble for it. (there was a total of 20 developers at this shop) a tribunal of federal judges in DC already though out a case that challenged this notion that FCC doesn't have power and threw it out?

This has nothing to do with the post but I can't stand it when people say stupid $h17 like this. ahhhh, do you know what active directory is under the covers? The reason companies like AD is so idiots like you can actually implement and administer it. I would give you a hint to find out what AD is based on but i figured even a hint wouldn't help you with just a bold general statement like you just said there. Unless you are using it for windows login, ldap really doesn't need be used for alot of things and gets applied in some very bad ways. That is saying ibm's tiviol directory server (ITDS) is in the same boat as AD, building on top of open source doesn't actually make it better than the open source part that you ripped, it just means some some ass hat that made the decision to go with Active Directory just didn't know what he was getting or how to run an ldap instance. Before you say bs, I have installed, ran, and had to program to all three(ITDS, AD, and OpenLDAP) and OpenLDAP is the only solution (if i was making the decision) to use. AD is easier because its confined in a nice little box that you have to use their way with predefined schema objects to make a bad admin's life easier that went to ITT tech for 10 months rather than actually understand how a computer works. -Pete

I mean its great that we will have something new and at those speeds but who really cares? Currently i can transfer a movie faster than it plays and thats all i care about. I barely get 25 mbps from my fios deal and mostly its around 17-22 and up around 12. Telcoms will cry and complain when the goverment will force them to make speeds that high available. When will i ever use 10GB/s? At my house with a $5,000 switch?
