    Except the fact that we built this one, this is what the Beagle lander looks like on/partially under the surface of Mars.
    Now you don't have to actually locate it.

    Explain why the future head of state of France is dancing around with Saddam, a murderous Baathist in a NUCLEAR facility.

    The real reason France and Chirac opposed was simply this: France sold nuclear and conventional weapons technology to Saddam along with the Russians. Ask any Americans and British how bad some of the French missile systems are. Here is a secret, France used its status with NATO to get the missile "secrets" from the USA, then sold them to a future enemy of the US.

    Don't give me this highfalutin fucking bull about Hitler. Hitler arguments mean you lost the argument. Its real just subterfuge and cover-up with whip out Hitler when you disagree with a point of view.

    While Rums and other diplomats may have met with Saddam, and before Saddam with a ruthless dictator, JFK help setup a rebellion in Iraq, and while Saddam was useful in the struggle against Iran (I suppose you like Fatwahs and Ayatollah's anti western edicts?), no person who is now head of state actually engaged in the proliferation of western technologies worse than Chirac.

    I'm starting to feel badly for Thom, he's really not that ugly and yet he's been mentioned many times in this thread as an ugly musician that gets mtv play. He's not a pretty-boy by any means, but certainly not ugly.

    Does this sound like Don King to anyone else but me?

    In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and articulating your superficial, psychological and sentimental observation. Beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your extemporaneous decantations, unpremeditated explanations have voracious veracity without any rodomontade and thrasonical bombard. Sedulously, avoid all poly-syllabic profundity, pussilanimous vacuity, pestiferous profanity and similar transgressions.

  7. Re:/.ers: Don't get too cocky... by Slump · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Handling the Loads
    From what we've heard from CNN, they were serving over 9 million pages per hour, or about 2,500 pages per second. This seems to follow the 50K hits per second quoted above.

    Our network of local news sites (http://www.ibsys.com) peaked at above 1.5M pages per hour - about 425 pages per second.

    We got slow in the morning, but recovered by about noon - where we were serving pretty quickly.

    Interestingly, our biggest problem is that we use Akamai extensively for image serving, and Akamai fell apart early in the day and took a while to recover.

    Between pages and video, and our local bandwidth and Akamai/IBEAM video serving, we peaked at about 450Mb/s...
