These are not mutually exclusive! The qualities you mentioned do not arise from polar opposites in political outlook. This is the basic problem with the "two concept and two concept only" system! There are many who might be fell good factor guys who work hard or clutter loving guys who 'love america'! This kind of demarcation unconsciously implies someone's political inclination based on completely irrelevant metrics, or even tries to classify people into boxes (2 only), based on behavioural traits! sad!
Very very wrong!!
India is one of the few countries that pledged "NO fist use".
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_first_use]
Nuclear power is a deterrent for large conflicts, but small conflicts occasionally do take place (kargil for example).
I do not understand which history you are talking about. You cannot use 'history' as a generic statement to substantiate any wild theories that you can blow out!
Pakistan is an 'ally' of US, has been for decades! Why would US have to go and reach out now to India, just to keep a check on their ally? Besides, the agreement if for civilian use of nuclear power and not military aid. There are far more economic reasons behind this than petty 'cold war' mentality (not saying there isn't any, china needs to be balanced out...).
If you had read any of the history (which you seemed to advertise), you would know that india is one of a handful of countries with a consistent foreign policy of non alignment and peaceful negotiations.
US has demonstrated lack of judgement in numerous occasions, but, then most them were military and covert actions.
but my european version of tx2510us (tx2590eo) cannot support most of the functions in XP (came pre installed with vista). HP releases drivers and utilities for vista only, with ATIs (amd's?) support for HD 3200 series minimal (or buggy) under XP and linux. tablet pc function is another matter!
SO, when the numbers says one third, it could be that in reality, much more wish to migrate but get stuck due to lack of support for their hardware under alternate OSes (XP, Linux,...). Seems like most OEMs know how to minimise cost, by restricting option and support streams.
That might work for your average soldier, but do you really want the guy in command of all your forces arriving somewhere absolutely tired? Do you want to provide them with a work area for the 12-24 hours they're going to be in the air?
Regular troops have the luxary of not having to go straight from getting off the plane to directly into the battlefield. Generals are high-level decision-making executives who have to be effective all the time.
Capsules give those personnel a work-area where they can be productive on planes, and a sleep area so that when they do get wherever they're going, they're not running on a day of no or crappy sleep.
Yes, thats why they have '37 inch LCD TVs with stereo speakers'. To aid in the decision making process and get a shut eye.
exactly, My new dell inspiron 1720 came with preinstalled bloatware home premium, and apparently upgrading to WinXP was not an option. Dell seems to support only bloatware on it (thats, after speaking to their customer service).
I think, i spent atleast a day cleaning out the crap from it and installing ubuntu and WinXP (from volume licensing of our office). there were no display drivers off the nvidia site or dell, for that matter for XP for this machine, and had to get modded one from laptop2go (believe it is the correct site). ohh.. and WinXP wont inherently recognize HDDS on it (needs intel AHCI drivers installed, which is not in the XP installation CD). So, you end up using nlite to slipstream a bunch of drivers and maybe some updates.
Ubuntu was a breeze though!!
To conclude, it was worth the effort, but I wonder how many will go through this to get rid of the preinstalled OS...
well, seems like scuttle monkey had a bone to pick with this guy... slashdotted his site and blog and everything else to mulch!! ex-girlfriend's 'friend'?
I agree, its like jumping through hoops to find out where i can buy cheap/all-you-can-eat viagra or which address i need to send my bank info to claim the lottery prize. ohh... and then the fancy gui crashes and asks me to go back to 'classic'! i hate that stupid nerd with glasses! yahoo clippy!
What are they worried about inside the laptop? child porn? blueprints/keys to nuke sites? huh, the border guys haven't heard of the internet yet? What can someone bring in a laptop to US that the same person cannot upload it to some site and offload it to his/anyone's PC once he is inside? Then a better idea would be to isolate the US network infrastructure from the rest of the world! hmmm...
Add 'Lame' to the already amazing title 'United States Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative (USIPER)' and we get something close to meaningful - LUSIPER (depends on how you feel about it though!)
I am not sure whether this happened, but it cant be that infeasible. the lookout saying "captain captain, there are ice pieces on the water...". Captain: "laddy, this is TITANIC! LARGEST ship and UNSINKABLE! icebergs should melt when we hit them!"... "oops! glug... glug... glug..."
do media company execs lack every kind of vision?
good luck sucker, emm.. zucker! and bon voyage to the bottom!
isn't that a bad example, to scientific method as such? If he believe that what he said/published was true, should he worry about the repurcations, as a scientist? His job it to tell what he knows and what he can prove.
I am not questioning his intention, but I don't think 'intelligent design' guys will need to go for the 'correct interpretation' of any theory.
Just when I thought sanDisk was a decent company with a nice lineup of products (have anyone seen their mp3 player line up recently? not bad..), some screwhead in the 'intellectual property' division had a brainwave! now, wrestle in mud! all of ya'! till everyone stinks!
Isn't it ironic, that goodness is now "I did something evil before... but heyy, look at me now! am sorry and I am talking about it!"
I think this guy would have been better off if he had refused MPAA and blew open the "bad intent" (well... one of them...) of the stupid execs all over the place! Kind of lame, to acknowledge now, after of course licking the green off the $$$.
But, I guess that is the trend now...

got mod points and waiting for 'em trolls! (btw, if one troll with mod points mod up a brother preacher troll, do that mod troll get into heaven?)

What are comparable open source alternatives to blackboard? anyone has used any? Moodle?
Armed revolt against the guys who control the US 'ARMED' forces? good luck with that...
