You say whoever organized the attack couldn't trust Bin Laden, because he could be in bed with the CIA. He is an asset to the CIA because he is an effective scapegoat. If you did not have the attacks, you would not need a scapegoat, so he wouldn't be an asset at all.
Drawing from your logic, Bin Laden only has value IF there is an attack. I'm sure you see where I'm going from there.
Do you really think Bin Laden wasn't aware of a plot to fly AIRPLANES into the WORLD TRADE CENTER of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Such a large scale attack would surely require approval? Or are they truly autonomous like you say?
I know nothing of it, I'm just conjecturing, but it doesn't sound too plausible that Bin Laden didn't know.
You could say that about a number of extensions. That's the point of Firefox, you add what you need/want and nothing else. NoScript is a pretty powerful tool, and a lot of people probably wouldn't find it necessary. It could also be confusing for a number of users. Sometimes websites have 5 or more scripts running from 5 different sites. A lot of users wouldn't know which would render the page properly, and it'd be a serious nuisance to a lot of people if they had to refresh a page 5 times for it to look right.
Your complaint is pretty vague. why did you wait several weeks into the course before emailing? A company the size of Amazon is bound to have a few incidents.. Ive had nothing but good experiences with them, and that probably applies to 95% of their customers.
this is an interesting idea, especially with hard drive space so easy to come by. I haven't looked recently but I'm pretty sure a lot of Dells have 500gig drives in by default, so most users wouldn't notice nor care. meanwhile they have a dependable OS to switch to when Windows acts funny.
I would hope you wouldn't take a low blow like calling me a pedophile. To be hyper clear: I'm just discussing this with you, I don't have sex with children and have never wanted to.
Your comprehension skills seem to be lacking. Read my post more carefully. I asked, "What about other cultures where adults can have sex with children, is it morally good there but not here?" My answer is of course no. I was arguing the belief that sex is NEVER bad for children, regardless of society. Sounds like the opposite of relativism to be me, but what do I know?
I've never researched the dangers of children seeing sex, or having sex, and you've not presented me with any evidence as to why it's so bad. But if you keep telling me it is I might just believe you!
You didn't address my points really, but I'll reiterate, why is it a shop's responsibility to tell a kid he can or cannot buy a certain videogame?
You need to be more descriptive when you say sex is "bad" for children. In what way? I always thought I couldn't have sex with kids because society calls it child molestation, not because it's inherently bad. What about other cultures where adults can have sex with children, is it morally good there but not here? And "humans being humans" includes nudity but NOT sex? Give me a break.
I don't know how this point continues to elude people, but it's the parent's decision whether their kid can buy a game. A better question is, Why on earth should the government be allowed to tell me what my kid can and can't buy? I wouldn't care if my kid saw sex or violence in a videogame (especially the former, I don't know when sex became "bad" for children).
you're second point is even more idiotic. the fact that they can't buy some things means we should start censoring all media? get your head out of your ass.

You're numbers are wicked sick!
We'd be skipping a few hundred thousand then!
Shut up.
At the very least he's a crazy bastard. How could you stay in a cave for days on end? His ass had to itch like crazy.

Do you think he found out September 11th?
well now they have it, so you should lift your boycott!
this is possibly the most incendiary, blatant attempt at microsoft-bashing that ive seen on slashdot. i mean... come on...

i just went to amazon.co.uk --> help --> cancelling an order, then found an email address and phone number. didnt look very hard, did you?

that means nothing because thats the purpose of the GPL :) as long as they are legitimate lawsuits of course.

this will push tons of users onto openoffice, either as a replacement or as a supplement to office.

This is such a bad summary. I have no idea what's going on from this summary.
Others have called it misleading, but I wouldn't know, because I have no idea what it's talking about.

so why Palau? is the fact that its an island nation preferable for this technology?
