Ummm....didn't the former Soviet Union (ie. Russia now) aim MANY nuclear weapons at both coasts and everything in between? Why so chummy with them now?
At least Cuba has something to offer - cheap vacations and cigars.
If you think that our treatment of Zundel is reason enough not to visit, then guess what? We don't want you to visit. Take your money, and your point of view elsewhere. Its our country, not yours!
Sorry I don't understand. How is this any different than the people in the past that were hit with lawsuits and sued by companies for using the company's name in a URL? If when the person holding the URL wasn't looking to blackmail the company and hold it for ransom?
The article does not say that "95% of IT Projects are not delivered on time." It is saying that 95% of IT Groups are not delivering some projects on time. Those are two completely different stats.
Your husband (former President Bill Clinton) had sex with a woman (outside of your marriage) and then lied under oath to the American people. Which do you think is more damaging to the moral fabric of society, fantasy or reality?
I am being sarcastic. This is a stupid idea simply because it is going to set an evil precedent. Some exec somewhere is going to get the idea that fans should financially support television shows and next thing you know our cable/satellite bills will have a subsidy or a "content delivery" fee on them with that money funnelling back to the network execs.
If I start paying to help produce the shows I watch then I want 59 minutes of show and 1 minute of commercials not 40 minutes of show and 20 minutes of commercials like it is now. (That one minute is so I can run to the bathroom if necessary).
The ad is correct. There are no LATE FEES. If you look closely at what happens....you keep a movie 7 days past the due date, Blockbuster happily sells you the movie. There no late fees...you bought the movie. Its a sale.
Now you are going to argue, but yeah they charged me money so it is a late fee. So I am going to counter with, "If you weren't interested in owning the movie, why did you keep it for so long?"
Is it really illogical on the part of Blockbuster to assume that someone that keeps a rented movie for more than 7 days past the due date wants to own the movie? Again, I have to ask, "If you weren't interested in owning the movie, why did you keep it for so long?"
Don't like their system? Then RETURN THE DAMN MOVIE ON TIME!
Red Hat isn't the only source for Linux nor is it the only source for applications that run on Linux. So, were they literally testing how long it took Red Hat to release a fix? Or were they checking when the patch was actually available elsewhere?
For instance lets say they detect vulnerabilities in Apache and Apache releases a patch in 2 days but it takes 5 days for Red Hat to make it available. Which amount of time did they record?
If something cannot be applied to a limited and pre-defined problem, does it invalidate the finding?
I didn't say it invalidated the finding. I said it was useless. If you have an answer, but no question, then what do you have? You have something interesting but obviously not useful.
P.S. I still consider the entire idea to be completely absurd.
....and pretend that I believe this (I really don't and find the idea complete absurd).
Anyways, as it currently stands this "machine" is completely useless for predicting the future. It doesn't tell you what is going to happen.
"Dr. there is a spike in the data!"
"Quick call the President."
"No Mr. President, its just a spike we don't know what is going to happen, it could be a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, someone rigging an election, or a Slashdot nerd getting lucky."
As an economic and world power the US has risen, crested, and is now beginning the slide back down. The US is no longer in a position to continue to hold on to being the only world superpower. It's much like the fall of the Roman Empire. It's not going to happen overnight.....but it is going to happen....it now becomes a matter of what the citizens of the US are going to do to slow down the decline. Investing in education, technology and research are they ways....investing in war is not.

The deceased obviously clicked on the "I Agree" button when setting up the account. Whether or not he read the full terms of the agreement was up to him...but he still agreed to them. So I unfortunately have to say, "I agree with Yahoo".
However, that doesn't mean that I don't have compassion for his family. Since the Yahoo agreement clearly states that police can access Yahoo e-mail accounts, the father should approach the military and get the Military Police to make a request....they could say they are investigating his death and that the e-mail is relevant to the case.
Owning a tool and having the potiental of doing something is NOT a prove of being guilty. You need to have prove of using it in illegal means!
IANAL but just try getting caught by the police with a set of lockpicks on your person. Even if you don't use them, they are still illegal.

I never understood why US companies would off shore to India and other countries where there is a significant language barrier when Canada is right here. We both speak the same language, the Canadian schooling system is as good as the US one (better in some respects but I am biased) and the Canadian dollar is less than the US greenback (which is what drives most of our economy up here).
Their thoughts on these game spheres don't add up. How exactly is the sphere going to let me see an opponent in Unreal Tournament earlier than if I was playing on a normal 'flat' screen. The flat screen projects ALL of the "view" that was programmed by the game developers. So if an an opponent enters from the left side of my flat screen, I will see him/her. Now take that same programmed view and wrap it around me on a sphere. Nothing different about the view I have, its just wrapped around me.
If I move my view (using my mouse, or other input device) the view will pan on my flat screen. It should pan as well on the sphere. The sphere can't project areas outside my view...it doesn't know what they are until I choose to pan my view and those areas are rendered.
I guess I am just trying to say that if you play Unreal Tournament on a 15 inch monitor you see the "view" you are currently looking at. Now play the game on a 19 inch monitor. You don't see anything more than on the 15 inch monitor, things are just bigger. You don't see areas that would have been off the side or the top or the bottom of the 15 inch monitor...because they are outside your view. Now play the game on a 50 inch screen. Again, you don't see anything more than what you saw on the 15 inch or 19 inch monitors, things are just bigger. Now project it on a sphere. Again, nothing new. Just bigger and wrapped around your head.

On the other side it means you are a child nation,
utterly dependent on others for protection. Namely the United States. You live carefree lives without a thought for defense or other matters of the > world because WE take care of you, extending the protection of our arms to secure your safety.
We depend on you to protect us from the things that you have caused to happen. If it wasn't for the US's aggressive foreign policies, there would be little for you to protect us from. Remember, your government created Bin Laden.
And Canada cares alot for world. Until recently we
were the country most involved in UN peace keeping missions. That's peace keeping, not invading...something your country should learn.
Don't write it, just patent the idea. Then let someone else write it, sell it and make big bucks off it. Then pull out your patent, hire a few lawyers, and retire on your windfall. (Why not, everyone else is doing it?)
