You could have used the lastest version of Windows to compare to the lastest version of Red Hat. Or, conversly used a 2 year old version of Red Hat to compare to the 2 year old version of Windows you used.
But, past intergenerational warfare didn't allow both sides to attack one another. Today's youth and their supporters have the ability to strike back when one of their own is attacked (hack attacks). The cultural wounds from this war may be greater than before as the greater government powers begin hastily reacting with their full strength.
Reminds me of a sci-fi novel I read a long time ago (I couldn't even begin to guess the name.) On a colony planet, kids started to develop telekinetic abilities, which ended at adulthood. One generation of educated youth figured they were smarter than all the adults, and more powerful, so they tried to take over and caused all sorts of havok. Afterwards it was forbidden to educate kids to prevent another youth rebellion.
Coke does not try to screw people out of their money, or use heavy-handed sales tactics like some people allege.
Which is why you can see Coke and Pepsi products coexisting peacefully at so many resteraunts. Just like you can find lots of store bought PCs with both Windows and Linux installed.
Completely wrong. Yes, the govt has power to establish post offices, but it is not compelled to. And nowhere does it say the federal government has exclusive power to do so.
At first I thought they were being a bit harsh until I took a closer look at the dates. He's accused of breaking into the network on the 8th, but not reporting it until the 18th. Now maybe he was unable to get an appoitment to see anyone, or maybe he took 10 days to poke around in the network and see what was there. He should have reported the insecurity immediately. The fact that he didn't is suspicious.
Would you have wanted to have no TV on 9/11? What about when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon (if you were around then)? Or what about the many other significant news events of the past few decades? Sure, you can get news off the radio, or pull up some web page, but there are times when nothing beats watching a live video feed. The net can't replace TV for that yet.
Palestine's attacks on Israel are at least as Justified as Israel's attacks on Palestine, considering that Israel has stolen most of the land from Palestinians...Note that I am a born and bread USA citizen.
Then would you say that Native Americans would be justified in sending suicide bombers to your house?
What about all of the Kurds and Iranians who were killed by the USA using Iraq as a proxy? Giving killing machines and technology and giving them the go-ahead-and-kill-them-iranians is surely a morally questionable act.
What about the attacks on Iraq, which killed thousands of innocent civilians? Oops, American extremists.
Ok, that Iranian civilian passenger (747 sized btw) airplane that was shotdown by the USA? Sorry, American extremists again.
So what you're basically trying to say is that the deliberate strike on civilians on 9/11 was a military action fully justified by past sins of the US govt?
What about all those Muslims who had their mosques fire bombed?
So any unjust act is an excuse to strap a bomb to yourself and take out a few kids?
That wasn't Prez Dubya calling Sharon a man of peace, while at the same time calling Arafat a corrupt leader? Do a little search on "Sharon war crimes" in google. Not necessarily the kind of guy that I would call a "man of peace".
There is plenty of blood on hands on both sides. There is a distinct difference, though. If Israeli soldiers kill an unarmed kid, there will be a big outcry from within Israel. Yet there is routine killing of kids by Arabs and only deafening silence from the Arab community. BTW, Arafat is no angel himself.
Your justifications for killing are the same justifications that your "enemy" uses.
You know why Bin Laden hates the US? Because the infidels dared to set foot on the holy land. You know why he hates the Saudi Government, because they let the infidels do it. And still you equate his motives with the US's.
So why are we so quick to throw stones?
Ummm...hello? Remember 9/11?
Muslim extremists say, in justification of waging war against the USA.
No, wars are fought by militaries. They are engaging in a terror campaign to try and demoralize the public.
Yeah, FARC and IRA have been busy killing loads of Americans, too. Like 9/11. Oops, Islamic extremists. Ok, Pan Am. Sorry, Islamic extremists again. USS Cole? Muslims. Embassy bombings? Muslims. 1993 WTC bombing? Muslims. 2000 LAX bombing attempt? Muslims. I won't even get the numerous murderous acts committed against Israel, since a surprising number of people seem to feel that is justified.
It may not be PC to say the main terrorist threat against the US comes from Muslims, specifically middle eastern Muslims, but it's the truth. And no, that's not the same thing as saying all Muslims are terrorists. The actions from the people in that region over the last few decades has certainly lent loads to the image that the whole region is nothing but a breeding ground for terrorists.

Actually EMP weapons would probably be really boring. The robots would just stop working.

I've been married 3 wonderful years and never had to make that choice.
She hasn't let you make any decisions yet?

BANG! ZOOM! Right to the moon!
When was the last time you could ask an ATM a question?
When was the last time you saw tellers positioned at 20 different locations in the city and available 24/7?
It's the chupacabra...

Well, considering some Pizza Hut DO have a size smaller than medium, it makes sense to standardize the label across the whole franchise.

The postal service feels the need to portray a positive image of itself in order to convince people
Regardless of your hyperbole, I don't think any government agency should be spending tax dollars trying to convince people to support it.
the USPS is mandated
Completely wrong. Yes, the govt has power to establish post offices, but it is not compelled to. And nowhere does it say the federal government has exclusive power to do so.
The fact is that there's no way they could deliver a letter from Dallas to Sacremento for 37 cents, and not lose a ton of money.
And neither can the USPO.
with REAL junk mail you have to do something with it.
Thankfully my apartment complex keeps a trash can right next to the mail boxes. It's perpetually full of junk mail.
Have you ever considered the fact they might feel the need to advertise
Yeah, it's a shame most people don't know that the US Post Office delivers letters and packages.
If you were going to do something like that, wouldn't it be easier to use Eiffel.

But the point is you still watched TV. Having one in your house is just matter of convenience.

You forgot to kiss. You insensitive, inconsiderate bastard.
Most prostitutes don't allow you to kiss....err..or so I've been told.
This may help.

No, wars are fought by militaries. They are engaging in a terror campaign to try and demoralize the public.
why do you suppose this is?
Perhaps due to the political and intellectual repression in the region.
Yes, of course all terrorists are Islamic
Yeah, FARC and IRA have been busy killing loads of Americans, too. Like 9/11. Oops, Islamic extremists. Ok, Pan Am. Sorry, Islamic extremists again. USS Cole? Muslims. Embassy bombings?

Is it possible that he does not recognize how bad he sucks?
It's entirely possible. I'm sure he has a whole entourage of puckered lips pressed firmly against his ass 24/7.
