  1. My theory:

    These missile interceptors aren't for North Korea. That is the excuse. They are actually a bargaining chip for China. If China reels in North Korea, then these missile interceptors near their borders will be removed. Until then, Obama can simply claim that he is trying to defend against an aggressive North Korean threat to nuke the US (even if North Korea doesn't actually have the capability to do so).

    I wonder if something more basic might be in order.. My degree is in Philosophy, so I had to take symbolic logic. There was a CS guy in my course though who actually went to the department and said, "this should be on the CS curriculum, because we really don't formally learn logic." Here's the guy who taught me @ John Carroll: http://www.jcu.edu/philosophy/gensler/lc/index.htm

  5. Re:Catching up on the competition on Linux Foundation Says All Major Distros Are IPv6 Compliant · · Score: 1

    MS and Apple have wasted a lot of resources on a lot of systems for the past 5yrs then, since IPv6 hasn't been used on ~99.9% of the systems it has been installed on.

    I have no idea why this idea is not more widespead. I have no idea why the oil company cronies are currently busting into the slashdot.org data center.
