It should be pointed put that the appointment of David Kris as amicus curiae has been criticized. Before the IG report came put, Kris made multiple cable TV appearances claiming that the FISA abuse allegations were “false” and “dishonest” and that investigating them was “dangerous”.
Wikipedia has the name in both Russian and Chechen (Царна́ев and Царнаев). For both of them, Google Translate gives Tcarnaev, Tsarnaev Tsarnayev, and Tsarnaev (it will also recognize it as Serbian, which gives Carnaev). Bing Translate gives Carnáev for the Russian version and fails on the Chechen version.
This is where Im reminded of the Library of Congress listing over 30 ways to spell Muammar Qaddafi.
Youd think the watchlist would automatically handle different transliterations of names. IBM has software for this.
I was originally going to say something like if anything, the US media has a slight liberal bias perhaps that wouldve been better.
I do think that media bias studies tend to suffer from experimenters bias. On the other hand, I find it difficult to argue with polls of newsroom workers (including by the American Society of Newspaper Editors) that show theyre significantly more liberal than the general population.
More likely hed be painted as out to embarrass Obama for political reasons, even at the expense of national security. The US media is generally acknowledged to have a liberal bias, not the other way around.
No, they should use a French press or pour-over, as the article mentions. Or just switch to espresso (possibly with E.S.E. pods, which are an open standard) you can get a perfectly good machine from DeLonghi or (Philips) Saeco for around the same price as a Keurig.
If theyre really paranoid, they may have locked all their cases and epoxied any external ports, plus disabled booting from CD and USB and password-protected the BIOS.
If theyre using a USB mouse or keyboard, you could possibly take the keyboard apart and attach a USB port, but even that could be easily foiled with software to restrict USB device classes or serial numbers or by using PS/2.
Pet peeve of mine: The original PlayStation is supposed to be abbreviated PS1 (although Play Station X was the internal codename back when Sony was working it as an SNES add-on). The PSX was a PS2/DVR hybrid sold in Japan (a bit like the Panasonic Q GameCube/DVD player hybrid).
To add to the lovely Mozilla quote about Firefox moving away from being a dumb window (from TechCrunch via Gooey Software:
Maybe we shouldnt even call it a browser anymore, Mozillas VP of Firefox engineering Jonathan Nightingale told me a few days ago. Browser is really an antiquated word. People dont really browse all that much anymore. Instead, he argues, we now mostly use our browsers to access sophisticated web apps, web-based productivity tools and social networks.
I like my browser just fine thanks. Stop messing with it. :
There are no more legal monopolies. However, theres so little profit in laying a second set of lines just to get half of a towns customers that nobody bothers anyway.
The FCC tried requiring ISPs to lease their lines at reasonable rates, but gave up when they realized how difficult it was to enforce.
Personally, I think the solution may be to divest all the major ISPs of their lines (possibly allowing them to retain ownership of the spinoff via non-voting preferred stock or an equivalent structure).

Its my understanding that you cant without recompiling, in which case you may as well just install the patch.
