802.11g Approved By IEEE 54 mb/s on 2.4 gigahertz
wavecentral writes "IEEE just approved the 802.11g as the new standard in a vote late Thursday. This enables data transfer rates of up to 54 megabits per sec and works on the 2.4 gigahertz band that 802.11b uses. This in turn makes it compatable and operable between the offical standard." Ewann also writes: "By mid-2002 we should be seeing products based on this technology. Unlike 5 GHz 802.11a, 802.11g is backwards compatible with the huge installed base of 802.11b products. Cool stuff if you want to wirelessly stream video and music in your home. More info on 0211-planet."
Backwards compatable is bad
Backwards compatible is good

Well, to be fair he didn't ask if it was possible to inflict enough punishment, he asked if he could get a fair trial. It's actually kind of a difficult question to answer. It's like asking whether a Nazi war criminal can get a fair trial. I believe that many accused war criminals were pronounced "not guilty", however, so it's clearly possible even when emotions are high.
If we ever did catch him, we would probably not just charge him for the 9/11 bombing, but a slew of the other terrorist bombings that he is responsible for (and, in fact, has admitted to). The question of a "fair trial" is academic. The man is guilty of innumerable crimes against humanity.
Of course, to many people a "fair trial" is defined as finding him non-guilty by reason of the US is evil. I don't know if the original poster feels that way or not, but it's frightening to think that there are people out there who think that.
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
Im sorry, but your theories of grease are not valid. I, being a geek, am a very greasy guy! All the pizzas, not showering for weeks, and stuff... so no...
-1000 on your post anyway =p
You work it out, friend. My sig is there for you. We all feel (at least a little of) the pain. But things are looking bright now, for our justice system to get the Supreme test.

How does this mean there were fair trials?

All it means is that the trials were not automatic "guilty" verdicts if you were on trial for Nazi war crimes.

ok seriously, how is this off topic? who moderated this off topic? I think they are off topic.
