Timely article in the WaPo: How a Detainee Became An Asset.

The government owns the streets and airports. The original bill was horrible. It gave the President complete discretion to decide what networks were 'critical infrastructure' and what events were 'cybersecurity emergencies'. As far as I can recall, there was no oversight at all. I'm not sure the President was even required to inform Congress about their decisions. That alone would have been bad. What made it horrible was section 14(a)(1): "The Secretary of Commerce [...] shall have access to all relevant data concerning [critical infrastructure networks] without regard to any provision of law,

Lie detectors don't work.

elinks! Pretty colors, CSS, JavaScript, tabs, what else could you want? Besides images.

I've never understood that argument. I mean, I understand it, I know what it's supposed to mean, but I've never seen it used in situations where "we" (whoever "we" is) were doing something that was as bad as what "they" were doing any reasonable standard. Usually what "we" are doing is unremarkable. No one who's aware of the history of civilization could believe that being civilized requires or implies righteousness. How many hundreds of millions of people did civilized nations kill last century? Proactive self-defense?

Safari, Chrome, or Opera, depending on what combination of fast, safe, and reliable you want.

The US economy was growing at the time.

Well, he's dead. So much for that.

ABC reported yesterday that Panetta got into a "profanity-laced screaming match" with a White House staffer over the investigation.

Kennedy supported Vietnam long enough to put him ahead, I believe. Your turn to snark about Bush and Vietnam. Bonus points if you work cheerleading into it.

It doesn't affect the country. It's not even clear how it would affect Massachusetts. Federal law requires that someone respond to that with snark about Chappaquiddick. The world isn't high school. There are more important things than being popular.

But if rewriting the rules is wrong, then Kennedy's proposal to undo the last rewrite would be righting a wrong. Ethics is hard I miss old socialism.

In the politics forum? It's fine. Here, watch: He was elected. The president is elected by the electoral college. The electoral college is selected by the state legislatures. Full stop. There is no national election. If you don't like it, propose a constitutional amendment. The threat level was elevated in August for a few specific targets. The national threat level wasn't elevated at all in 2004.

That doesn't sound even a little bit like a scam.

Not exactly. "SATA 3Gb/s" is one of the official names of the second generation SATA specification and SATA-IO -- the organization responsible for SATA -- recommends (or requires?) that products that implement the spec use that name. It isn't supposed to imply that the devices are capable of 3 Gbit/s transfers. I'm not sure the if even the SATA interfaces on the devices have to be capable of 3 Gbit/s. (In fact, even if you had a drive that was capable of reading or writing 3 Gbit/s, you couldn't do it on SATA 3Gb/s because of the overhead of the SATA protocols.)

The maximum transfer rate for current SATA HDDs is around 1.2 Gbit/s. It looks like the bigger Seagates don't even break 1 Gbit/s. I wouldn't worry. Edit: A PCIe 1.x x1 slot gives you 2 Gbit/s. Probably not worth it. PCIe 2.0 doubles that, though, and might be worth it if you need the extra throughput.

Google does record your search history on their servers if you have a Google account and search history is enabled. I can't remember if it's opt-in or opt-out but it's easy enough check if it's enabled. As far as I know, that's the only user-visible search history that Google provides. Odds are that MarketWatch stores your preferences on their servers, too. Cookies are really only useful for storing very small quantities of often used but utterly unimportant information. For everything else, it's cheaper, safer, and more reliable to store the information on the server and use cookies to identi

OP is working with a WRT54G. If that isn't a modem -- and as far as I know there are no WRT54Gs with modems -- then the OP is not working with a modem. They probably have a modem but it's not the modem that they're trying to get working. I have DSL and a WRT54G. The modem uses PPPoE over the phone port and runs a DHCP server for the LAN port. The router is connected via it's WAN port to the modem's LAN port and configured to use DHCP (not PPPoE). It works. Apparently it works for the OP with their other router, too.

The modem has to use PPPoE. OP doesn't seem to working with a modem. You don't need bridging if you have multiple "smart devices" on a network. If you connect the routers in the obvious way -- WAN port on the 'inner' router to a LAN port on the 'outer' -- they'll work as you'd expect, if not as you'd like.

Unless they have a modem that uses vanilla IP-over-Ethernet on the LAN port. Since OP said that their other router works in DHCP mode, it seems likely that that is the case. That depends on the network.

North Korea is an attention whore. The US gave it the attention it wanted and, by sending Clinton, made it look like we take the DPRK seriously. There's no reason for the Koreans to keep the journalists after that.

North Carolina.

And the little "powered by Bing" at the bottom of every page. Every time you use Yahoo!, there'll be a little "Bing" in your peripheral vision. Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing.

Yeah, they are, but I trust Microsoft more than Google. Better the devil you know, and there isn't much we don't know about Microsoft.
