Term limits would help in some ways, but could potentially lead to other issues like you mentioned. That said, they have built up a power structure so that the longer someone has been in office, the more power they have. This is the real issue. Eventually, after someone has been in office for a couple terms, suddenly the incumbent only has to say that I'm next in line for this big committee chairmanship, so you have to put me back in or our state will lose out on all the pork I can provide from that committee. And we buy it every time. Nevermind whether we agree with what they will do with their power sitting in the big chair.<br /><br />Utah is talking about instant runoff voting, and some states have implemented it or are close to doing so, which is a step in the right direction for several reasons, and probably the biggest possible improvement that could be made.<br /><br />I don't quite know what you're referring to when you say we shouldn't throw out the system as a whole. I can't see where I suggested that or how term limits or changing how committee assignments are made would throw out the whole system. But then again, you did focus on term limits when that was only two words in the whole post, the rest of which didn't actually have anything to do with term limits. The point of my post was that we should be voting FOR who we want instead of AGAINST someone we don't want. A lot of people in this last election, faced with two dubious presidential candidates, were holding their nose and voting for someone they didn't like but felt like they had to or else the greater of the two evils would win.<br /><br />I will say that I like the idea of having an 18 year term limit for Supreme Court justices instead of a life appointment. With 9 justices, that means every 2 years one would be up for replacement, giving every president a guaranteed 2 nominees per term and a more consistent cycle through the court.robmbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483459468274711568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-48365720697048657492017-03-08T08:05:46.101-07:002017-03-08T08:05:46.101-07:00I know this is somewhat old ("old" being...I know this is somewhat old ("old" being a relative term), but I really don't like term limits. All too often, it removes a good politician and replaces them with someone not so good, or replaces someone Ok with someone not so OK. Moreover, it transfers power from long-time CongressCritters who know how to work the system (think of Daniel Moynahan or Tip O'Neill) to lobbyists.<br /><br />We already have term limits -- it's called "voting the rascals out". Granted, incumbents have major advantages over challengers, but I'd rather see those addressed than throwing out the system as a whole.

This was done with all the constraints of limited password history storage capacity at the time. <br /><br />During the C2 evaluation of the mainframe series, this control also made it back into one of the Rainbow Series books. Little did I know that this fact would cause Microsoft later on to implement this in Windows to obtain a C2 evaluation as well!<br /><br />If I would design this today, I would come to a very different solution, believe me.Ellickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715634186207192830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-35615869664038469542015-11-20T16:23:37.310-07:002015-11-20T16:23:37.310-07:00This is an interesting dialogue for sure.

This is a lame argument for minimum password age.<br /><br />Several times I've changed a password only to realize I don't like it for one of several reasons - difficult to type *a lot*, inconvenient to remember, etc. For someone who uses all 4 common categories of complexity requirements, having to wait and change my password is a hassle. <br /><br />Worse, suppose I have reason to believe the password was compromised during that time - I can't change it.<br /><br />A much more user-friendly policy is just to increase the password history to a large number (25 for example). I doubt very much that users will cycle through 25 long complex passwords just to get back their original password.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me a page where I can vent my frustration on this policy! :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-21069508903589992982014-01-20T10:49:41.237-07:002014-01-20T10:49:41.237-07:00And one more semi-related article that puts it muc...And one more semi-related article that puts it much more directly, an oldie but a goodie, <a href="http://www.lds.org/ensign/1973/01/warnings-from-outer-space?lang=eng" rel="nofollow">Warnings from Outer Space</a>.robmbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483459468274711568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-39474894534961572392014-01-20T10:38:27.633-07:002014-01-20T10:38:27.633-07:00Just commenting on my own post here to link in an ...Just commenting on my own post here to link in an interesting related article from The Ensign, <a href="http://www.lds.org/ensign/2013/08/worlds-without-number?lang=eng" rel="nofollow">Worlds without Number</a>.robmbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483459468274711568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-24837656536739119692014-01-20T10:36:21.402-07:002014-01-20T10:36:21.402-07:00Thanks, anon.

She re-defined music, in her own way, by introducing the operatic "melisma" to modern pop music.<br /><br />I was listening (well, more like belting) to one of her biggest hits "Greatest Love of All," when my mother came upstairs and told me "Hey, Whitney Houston just passed away. Its on the news right now!" I thought she was joking, but then I raced downstairs in utter shock that my personal inspiration had passed away, and I now will never have the pleasure of meeting her one day. <br /><br />Sorry, if I'm rambling.

If you've got an older OS with it already installed, you can probably keep using it, but <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2390706/en-us" rel="nofollow">here's an article from Microsoft discussing its demise</a>. There's another one here discussing various <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24373" rel="nofollow">tools that can be pieced together to replicate SteadyState functionality in Windows 7</a>. Of course, if you're in Windows 8, I have no idea how well those same tools would translate over.<br /><br />That said, I have used DeepFreeze quite a bit. I have not used it with Windows 8, but I have used it on older versions of Windows, and it worked great. It's available for Mac and Linux as well. Basically, you reboot your computer in Thaw mode by using a hot key and entering your password, and then anything you change on the computer will be changed when you reboot. If it is Frozen when it boots, everything you do will be lost. You can choose certain drives in DeepFreeze to not be frozen, and then you'd store your documents in that location, thus allowing your system and software to be unchanged but still store your data. It might be tricky to set up, but then you could use DropBox in conjunction with DeepFreeze to backup your data files automatically. If you're managing a whole lab, the Enterprise version of DeepFreeze allows you to manage the whole lab from one place, which is nice. It also can automatically thaw itself and check for updates at a time you specify, and refreeze itself. The thing I like best about DeepFreeze is that it allows the user full rights to do anything they want on the computer, install new software, delete things, change the desktop, do whatever they want, and once it reboots, it's back in pristine shape. So I guess the only thing that wouldn't work is software that requires a reboot to fully install.robmbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483459468274711568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804372665644785467.post-55664905580693192192013-08-26T08:11:06.760-06:002013-08-26T08:11:06.760-06:00Hey Rob, Sorry for replying late here.
