Synthetic Vision

oniony writes "Ars Technica has a link to a story on new goggles being developed for/by the military. The new device uses satellite imaging and land profiling to build a 3D representation of the world in a soldier's goggles in real-time. This would enable troops to see through sand storms and oil smoke of the kind currently hampering operations in the Gulf. I imagine one could also remove mountains to allow remote viewing of approaching territory."

first post for the ICC

[Anonymous Coward]

Once again President Clinton and the United States on August 20, 1998 violated international law with a pre-emptive cruise missile attack on four "terrorist" camps in eastern Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum.21 were killed in Afghanistan and 30 were wounded there; at least ten workers were wounded in the Khartoum medical drug factory. In his speech to the nation from the White House oval office timed to dominate the news on another day of testimony before the grand jury by Monica Lewinsky, Clinton tried to justify the attack as "self-defense." However, Article 51 of the United Nations Charter only allows the inherent right of self-defense "if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations," not as a pre-emptive strike against some feared attack in the future. The United States Justice Department claimed the attack did not violate U. S. laws because of a 1996 U. S. anti-terrorism law, but they did not address the issue of international law. When a more obvious motivation for the strike is as a retaliatory reaction to the bombings of the U. S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, who is going to believe this rationalization on a question of mass murder from the lips of Bill Clinton, who has so recently admitted deceiving the public about a little sex with a White House intern?

The strikes were apparently aimed at the business and terrorist activities of Arab Osama bin Laden. Ironically bin Laden (like Saddam Hussein's Iraq in its war with Iran) is a former war ally of the U. S. Government in its attacks on Soviet forces in Afghanistan. In fact the four terrorist camps targeted in that country were primarily built and armed with U. S. money during that war. Once again the United States is fighting with its own Frankenstein's monster it has created itself. Clinton's claim that this attack was not aimed at Islam is not likely to be believed in the Muslim world.

The United States has recently also showed its contempt for international law by refusing to sign the treaty banning land mines and by not cooperating with efforts to establish an international court for criminal justice.

How does it come that /. posts war reports?

Dear Slashdot: Why does religion suck?

[Anonymous Coward]

Why are mindless humans still drawn to religion? Shouldn't it have been eradicated by now?

Answer: Religion is for the weak minded. They seek answers to questions that cannot possibly be answered. Religion gives them answers and makes them so arrogant that their answers are right that they criticize everyone else, bash other religions, and try to push their shit on everyone else.

CmdrTaco recommends we nuke all religions ASAP.

Re:Unproven = untrustworthy = low SAT scores!

[adzoox]

That is a false analogy (Unproven = untrustworthy).

The Apple iPod is a good example.

Untested waters for Apple, Apple not "well received" by entire PC population, different, semi-unpopular connection scheme, new type of hard drive never released on mass consumer scale- low profit margin market - what else could have been more unproven about the iPod? It has become one of the most critically acclaimed gadgets of the past two years and is made to a very high quality (typical Apple, but always exceptions) standard.

Your analogy would earn you a low SAT and fits in with my signature, read below :)

Why do you think Twirlip of the Mists is Ron Rivest?

Twirlip doesn't seems to post on crypto subjects (although it's hard to tell, because the 24 message buffer doesn't last him a day). Maybe he's trying to avoid the topics of his day job?

I Agree

[Anonymous Coward]

Ron has worked closely with Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, Twirlip refuses to comment on Israel due to personal issues.

Ron has been known to use the nickname "Twirlip of the Mists"

Twirlip has implied ties with White House officials, Ron worked closely with the government in cryptography.

Twirlip has stated on numerous occasions that he uses an Apple computer, Ron uses a Mac.

Not damning, but interesting evidence nonetheless.

MOD PARENT UP!!

Money flows like rivers, and those who can siphon it off to their personal/political Las Vegas or Phoenix want to dam it up, and control it, to implement their will. Sometimes I wish I could control where my tax money goes. I end up paying the government their mandatory money, then they funnel it off to their war, to corporate welfare, or to rich people. Then the trickle of money I have left needs to go to oxfam to help the humanitarian effort in iraq that the U.S. won't pay nearly enough of my tax money for.
