Jonathan Mayers

I don't think it's widespread, but the cases have been highly visible.

Dave Druker

Adobe is doing something that is the right thing to do for any vendor that has technology that has to do with the user experience. They are coexisting with AJAX. To some extent you could say that AJAX competes with Flex and Flash. It is widespread enough that vendors ignore it at their peril.

Alfred Huger

The North American IPv6 Task Force does not agree that IPv6 is not warranted as a significant investment for the U.S. government.

Jim Bound

We are concerned about the fraud allegations. We are waiting to see what the elections commission comes out with. For the time being, we have not seen widespread fraud.

Geoffrey Rudd

The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom.

I don't think their use is widespread enough yet to study.

I'm tired of the FEMA-bashing. All you hear is that FEMA didn't do enough. What people don't understand is that FEMA had a game plan, but when the devastation was so widespread, their game plan kind of went out the window.

We continue to see undeniable evidence that abuse and torture has been widespread and systematic, yet high level government officials have not been held accountable for creating the policies that led to these atrocities.

The polio-eradication initiative has shown the world that even in the poorest countries, widespread and debilitating disease can be defeated.

Patty Stonesifer

We're not seeing the widespread damage you would expect with a warning like that. Addison got whacked pretty good. I'm not sure whether the storm just collapsed over them. We've got a lot of trees and wires down.

Tim Marshall

The question is, are these government officials using their leverage over the university's budget and other things to extract a personal benefit to them that is inappropriate? I do think there is an ethical problem with this. But I would be surprised if this sort of practice is not widespread with sports franchises generally.

Kathleen Clark
