It doesn't matter that our systems aren't as godlike as the Pentagon wants us to think.
Of course it's important when Pentagon lies about the ability to perform "clean strikes". It's ALWAYS important when a government lies to its citizens - and it's very important when the US lies to the rest of the nations in the world (like with the fabricated "evidence" about Iraq wanting to buy uranium.. )
Anyone who blindly swallows what you get on TV deserves whatever they get.
Correct - that was the whole point of my post:) The US military deliberately and repeatedly hides facts about what they can and cannot do (and actually do) - it seemed to me that the person I replied to actually believed that smart boms are accurate today to hit a window with one try.
Check my usernumber. While not one of the really old ones here - I assure you I've contributed with a lot more than just pointing out obvious US lies regarding the war against Iraq:)
Yes - I meant that. It's not "trolling" as soon as you don't agree with the US taking over the world.
Now, we can drop a conventional bomb or 4 right through a specific window
Out of how many tries?
Last summer the US General Accounting Office (GAO), an investigating body of the US Congress published a report which went a long way in destroying the myth of "smart" bombs. According to this report the accuracy rate of laser-guided bombs dropped by the F-117 stealth fighters was as low as 41%. The Pentagon had claimed an accuracy rate of 80%!! According to the same report, on the first night of the Gulf War in 1991, the "F-117 missed 40% of their air defence targets". The Pentagon insisted in keeping classified the real figures for Tomahawks cruise missiles' success rate, but GAO's report states that the figure was "less than generally perceived". The report also overturns the Pentagon's famous "one target, one bomb" for its laser-guided bombs, suggesting that it took between four and ten bombs to attack targets such as bridges. As the bombing started on December 16th an admission of the inaccuracy of "smart" bombs came from the General Sir Charles Guthrie, UK's Chief of Defence Staff who assured journalists that "weapons which were 50% accurate during the Gulf War have now been honed to 90% accuracy". The problem is that we were already assured in 1991 that the weapons were 99% accurate if not more!! By one irony of history in the very first night of the current round of bombardments one of these "intelligent" missiles went out 25 miles and landed in the Iranian city of Khorramshah.
There's proof both for the fact that it wasn't happy liberated Iraqis that tore down the Saddam statue, nor is the man on a very widely spread photo of a "happy liberated Iraqi" one - but a US covert operation participant.
There are a lot of lies in this "war" - rest assured a lot of them are made by the US.
Well yes - it's important to strive for what you believe in. If you, like me, believe publishers SHOULD publish books like yours then it's important to try to do that:)
People in the US are being censored more and more - and if corporations get away with it there it usually comes here (Europe) a few years after..
Blablabla. Stop repeating US propaganda and learn something about what your discussing. Check what happens to the civilian population in areas where the US has used depleted uranium (chemical warfare) and cluster bombs (illegal weapon).
The change between v1.0 (mostly hacked by bunnie) and v1.1 (hacked by Andy Green, myself and a bunch of other guys) was significant. They went from a system that trusted the bus in the Xbox to actively try to encrypt and hash all communication between the MCPX and the bios - and they only failed because the used TEA instead of XTEA for the hashing of the FBL. (TEA has a fatal flaw when used for hashing - but this has been known since -97.. )
Microsoft most probably use the LPC-bus together with grounding D0 when testing the Xbox - there's no reason for either the LPC nor the "ground-d0-to-boot-bios-off-lpc" option otherwise.
The most important thing the rest of the world can do is to make everything non-american. The waste in effort and lives including USA in every day living is phenomenal and unnecessary.

Yes I'm serious.
Would you be ok with things if your employer lost a bid just because you don't like dogs - and the customer likes dogs?
I think not. What do you think your employer would do? Wouldn't that - in effect - restrict what you can and cannot say in the future?
Yeah, freedom of speech is overrated in the US nowadays. Next thing out the window is that silly "constitution" and "bill of rights" and what not.
No. Mod parent down. Not interesting.
You seem to have no response to my suggestion that your stop complaining online and act on something you believe in.
What makes you think I don't act? Rest assured - I do

PLEASE - tell me what our position on whaling is
If you looked harder, you'd realise that I didn't start a rant. I pointed out an error in a parent post. Go complain on someone else

Don't believe US propaganda.
(Best link I can give you is in Swedish, from an eye-witness. Let me know if you want it.)
Do a search - you'll be surprised.
It's actually quite fun seing Swedish television show american soldiers shooting at civilians, flicking over to CNN and hear nothing about it.

You might want to read up on how many civilians the US has killed since
(ps: You know the Iraqi citizens are protesting _against_ the US occupation - right?)

I'd rather see you actively trying to get the book published than publishing it alone
Iraq
Illegal warfare, killing civilians, flying in groups of people pretending to be happy liberated Iraqi citizens etc.
(source for all the above exists, but I guess it doesn't get reported on Fox so americans never see it
250 million phonecalls * 8kb = 2000000000kb/s.
2000000000kb/s = 1953125Mb/s = 1907.3Gb/s = 1.86Tb/s

Substitute for AOL IM? I always thought ICQ came before all the clones.
I challenge you to go one day without using anything that has either been invented or improved upon by an American
On the other hand - that would be quite easy. A few Swedish inventions comes to mind.
It's an urban legend
Please - just stop it.
