Sure he did but he got subsequently thrown out again which was good. But attacking him now without being attacked first is bad. Or do you want to punish him twice for the same crime?

One major difference though: Hitler actually started a war and always stated that he wants to expand and make Germany bigger. Saddam did neither.
You might be right about this but if IMO fundamental bugs are not fixed (for example this one, which is around for almost ONE YEAR now) I don't see a point in creating more bugs. I really like to help but my programming skills are far from being good enough to understand and patch the code so my only way of helping is submitting bugs. But if those bugs are not fixed... where is the point?
Hm, I don't know... i think almost everybody understands:-) but <smile/>? What about <grins/> (the German word for smile). Isn't this overcomplicating something that works quite well already?
You know, if I were you in the US I would be much more worried about somebody putting a nuke onto a ship and sail into NY harbor, the SF bay or any other major waterport along the east or west coast.
As a few already did point out a suitcase nuke does not have that much yield, but on a ship you can transport one hell of a nuke and you don't need any sophistication or miniaturisation. You can even transport enough lead or other stuff to fool radiation detectors.
Hell, you don't even have to sail into the harbor or even the territorial waters of the US. Drop the bomb outside the continental shelf and detonate it with a simple pressure detector. The resulting tsunami should be enough to show the US the supremacy of {insert favorite relogion and/or political belief here}.
I am not sure wether this has been posted before but just to make sure we are talking about the same thing here:
The heise article says "die kIllustrator-Verpackungen vernichten" which means they want him to destroy the PACKAGING (or wrapping) not the PACKAGES in an rpm like sense. So they do not ask for the deletion of the source code or stuff like that just for the boxes or whatever the stuff might be shipped in (if at all - maybe they didn't even check wether there are packages at all).
Can I resist? Nnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg... no, I can't, sorry! 1 : 4 : 9 are actually not only the squares of the first three positive integers but also the squares of the first three negative integers.

This might be a bit offtopic, but why are the US using machines at all (and obviously lot's of different machines at that!)? There are entire western democracies where the votes for each and every election are counted by hand, and the result is usually in six to eight hours after the election booths are closed. And I have never seen any problems of this magnitude in Germany for example.
To be honest, I can't really understand how the matter of presidency that is clearly a federal one is resolved based on at least 50 different statutes and many more different machines/ballots/chads etc. For crying out loud, have a federal voting law that regulates questions like this. Control of government and decentrilisation may be a good thing, but a situation like this doesn't help nobody!
tele - remote, distant (from greek:tele - far off)
scope - an instrument to see (again greek:skopein, to see)
radio - 1.The wireless transmission through space of electromagnetic waves in the approximate frequency range from 10 kilohertz to 300,000 megahertz.

So, this thing looks (scope) into the distance (tele) for radio transmissions.
The only major malfunction in Germany seems to be a computer crash at the fire fighter hq in Berlin, Germany. They claim that it was not caused by the Y2K bug but you never know;-))

Yes, that's exactly what they do.

I don't know where the poster got this from but Freiherr von Gravenreuth is NOT an Attorney General. He is just a lawyer working for his own money.
