The plethora of Free Software applications available today, none working perfectly, is a problem which stands in the way of major adoption of Linux on the desktop. In order to conquer the desktop, we have to stand united.
Yes, because we all know that the reason for proprietary software's acceptance and success is perfectly working software that stands alone in its own categories.
Bollocks.
Rather the most success software company in the world has a policy of "3 times a charm" and this company also enters markets where established competitors already exist.
Don't tell me to read the article after presenting an erroneous supposition as an introduction.
In the altered montage: the man motioning with his hand has an assault rifle; the man being motioned to has a child and is beginning to crouch, as if in obeyance. Most definitely the altered image heightens the drama--one wonders "will the soldier shoot the man if he doesn't sit?"
Unspoken but obvious is the motive behind the "improved composition" -- the altered image depicts a coalition soldier motioning threateningly to a father holding his young son.
How many such "improved compositions" has this photomangler published that didn't have repeated background elements giving it away?
An aside, did the image first pass examination because the editor thinks "all Iraqis look the same"? It's pretty obvious that the same faces appear more than once.
Actually, the best Hoax TODAY was the announcement that Saddam Hussein would address his (temporarily and dwindlingly so) country . . . Those wacky Iraqis!
The problem, if you think about it, is not merely that the conversation could be non-trivially intercepted by Iraqis, but something more insidious. These phones hunt for the closest processing center via GPS and every so often broadcast their position to that center. For the Iraqi desert, the closest center is in United Arab Emerates (sp?), which is a colalition ally but susceptable to intelligence inflitration. So, it's not just the US being paranoid that the waky Iraqis can intercept and interpret the code its that there very well could be a sympathetic listener in the UAE, or elsewhere that GPS position is recorded.
Signal Ops with Hum Int is very powerful. In this case the Hum Int may be the bigger concern.
The story blurb offers the best reason to choose CDMA over GSM--the latter benefits the Saddam-complict Europeans.
There comes a time to recognize that our war is morally superior to France's desire for no war. There is no reason to allow the regime of Saddam Hussein to exist. None.
That the bulk of the Europeans prefer to deal with Saddam is the biggest justification for excluding their business interests.

The 5600 is very nice, but differs from the 5500 mainly in battery and updated applications (like Opera 6 versus 5). The XScale is twice the MHz but not twice the speed, something Apple users understand; I recall other hardware mfg'ers having real problems getting the XScale to work properly. I would expect that the newer applications will be made available for 5500 users, since there is little hardware change to prevent this, but the albatross of poor battery life made the 5500 untenable for applications needing to run a scanner or 802.11b radio.
I'm excited about the 5600 for my use and still recommend the 5500 for general development and use.
No longer do I but until 1999 I used that for everything. It's the only bit of movie trivia I ever memorized (and I did it when the movie first came out).
For extra credit: name the movie. For a bonus round with Vanna, what's the password protecting?
And T3kno, if you tell my current password scheme I'll be up all night fixing servers from here to Texas!
That's where (1) the mfg'ers losses from other projects are repaid and where (2) the payment for secret "skunk-works" projects are made. It's not the titanium tie downs; it's much simpler.
That's a great idea. At a minimum, there should be a directory of blogs, where someone could self-register what they are writing about. For instance, something close to the Open Directory Project, but for blogs.
I'd like to search not the articles available on asundry Blogs but to see what domains of coverage RSS feeds propose to cover. What I really want is an aggregator of medical industry news, but the concept applies to any domain of information.

Not only today but every day you are a fool buying bullsh*t HLS.the Holocaust.

Today, clicking "rob's page" on the left, there (scroll the page up and take a look) redirects you to goatse.
At some point, though, CmdrTaco, you will fall under the auspices of the Patriot Act for stirring up a rebellion. . .

It was.That's the "hip/funny" part of the story that got it selected over the other submissions.
Sick.
