You are right and I am wrong. It was the US occupation of Japan and not the atomic destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that ended WWII in the pacific theater. My apologies for playing the devil's advocate on this one.
So you're playing a game of "what if", so what? They surrendered before occupation: the war was won. You might be right that without the occupation, the peace would not have has lasted. However, aside from the crystal ball / virtual reallity / full world simulation device you need to prove that, I don't believe lasting peace is any requirement that one war be determined finished.
We didn't have occupying forces in Japan though, did we? Territories took from the japanese, sure, but not the homeland. Specifically, related to the GGP, we didn't have troops on the ground in Japan, occupying and pointing guns at the government officials' heads. I agree with you that the threat of ground invasion was a factor, but I disagree with both of you that occupation is always necesssary. The realistic threat or demostrated use of long-range massively destructive weapons could win a war. I don't think it is reliable or common, only possible, and I think Japan demostrates the effect that hopefully will never be repeated. Perhaps "complete and utter destruction of your enemy" was acceptible back then, but is not now (at the moment).
LOL - get over yourself. All your assumptions about me are wrong. Every single one of them! Why didn't you just go ahead and assume I was gay or a child rapist or something while you were at it? That would probably make you feel better.
ForwardX11 = yes in the general section of your.ssh/config.

What the fuck for?

Again, what the fuck for? Alias vi to vim if you want, vim can figure out what kind of terminal it is using. Most shells will show your path in the prompt without having to mess with cd.
To be really fair you might mention that they had no chance of being able to participate in the debates ever, so their "crime" and thier "arrest" were merely symbolic of really bad shit.
Notorious to whom? Short compared to attention spans of what other species? Compared with animals? Do dogs and cats sit around behind our backs and say shit like this:
Dog: mankind has such a short attention span Cat: tell me about it. me and my feline brethren have been working on catching mice for thousands of years. Some of our members have been known to study a mote of dust for upwards of 4 hours Dog: I hear you - it's almost as if mankind is famous for having a short attentions spam. Infamous you might say. Heck, I'd go so far as to say they are notoriously short attentioned - wait, where's my tail? Did you seem my tail?
It's fun to watch how slashbots love to bash redhat and fedora. I guess it's too mainstream for all the more-alternative-than-you geeks that hangs out here. Nevermind that redhat continues to have huge market presence, fedora is growing rapidly, and both Redhat the company and the volunteers working on Fedora have done some nice things for linux over the last 10 years and recently.
Reminds me of that article earlier today about bitkeeper. In that article, local "enthusiasts" trashed the guy who game us rsync and helped give us samba. Amazing.
OMG!!!1!! LOL!1!!! UR teh Funnny. You split my side. Please sir adorn us with more gems of comedic gold from you dizzying intellect and wit. +5 is no justice for original and insighful jokes spewing from your every orifice. Please slashdot administrators - raise limit for local funnyman "Have Blue". Don't Stop!!! Please deliver more untold millions of comic masterpieces and variation on deceased horse for our laughter-styled amusement:
You: take my wife - I don't like her anymore!!!
Us: lololol - funny yet also funny!!!
You: why does chicken cross highways and thoroughfares? otherside is more desireable
Us: pure delight!! ha ha - must suture side now!!
You: geeks get no sex EVER!!!
Us: ha ha - so true - stoopid geeks!!!
That's a good point. Has a serial killer ever been captured by random ID check (these happen already in many states)? Doubtful. On the other hand, have millions of innocent people been hasshled by random ID checks? Definitely.
It's a shame tha the parent post can only be moderated up to 5. It's also a shame that the one-line display of ignorance that is the granparent post made it at least up to 3.
Dan Rather is a fascist. You heard it here first. The monolithic entity that is the left Disclaims any affiliation with Dan Rather. Likewise, Ted Turner and CNN are in the inner most circle of the huge, monolithic, single-voiced and evil enitity known as the Right. Furthermore, we of the glorious Left would like to take this opportunity to dispel the myth in the so called Center. There is no Center. There is only Left and Right. Black and White. Good and Evil. Thank you.

World War II - pacific theater. Somehow seems germane to the discussion.
PS: I love you.

What about pgrep?
There's a setting for this one, too.

Or maybe you're communicating with aliens.
Fact: "boxes" is the correct spelling.

No, he was slamming the guy for reverse-engineering. RTFA.

The school day is about 6 hours long. There is some flexibility.
Have you considered that you might be gay?
When the president and the congress decide that the president can start a war without an act of congress - I would call that "interpretation".
Goodbye Canadian Money - I could never take it seriously so would spend too much when visiting.
Goodbye Kids in the Hall - oh wait, we already said goodbye.
Goodbye Bryan Adams - I hope you get hit by a bus.

You were misinformed. The USA is all about "American Idol".

That much was obvious from your first response ;) Thanks anyway.
Here's my counter offer:
$10000 after 20 years.
Global mean temperature as recoreded by climatologists overa a 5 year period - [1995,2000) compared with [2015,2020).
Wager sum is negiotiable, but $100 ain't going to cut it.
LOL - should be a win-win situation for you then - make the bet.
