The real ire should be directed at the management for throwing someone out of housing for violating network policies. What next - run an open access point, and you get expelled? Download a song, and your landlord throws you out of your apartment?
Actually, in both the dorms and apartments around my uni, yeah, they can. They usually only give you 48 hours to move out. It's not like anyone can take them to court, mainly because their tenants are all broke college students.
Also, according to the code of conduct, they can expel you for violating copyright law.
Thank you for offering yourself up as a perfect example of an American who has bought into US propaganda hook line and sinker.
It's been proven that Korea is an information controlling dictatorship, and one of the symptoms of this is major propaganda. IIRC, more than one nation has commented on the amount of control the Korean government exerts, so therefore it's reasonable to expect massive amounts of propaganda.Just because a reasonable assumption is part of some propaganda somewhere does not mean that the assumption is propaganda itself. (IE: Dirty Godless Commies- Church was suppressed and heavily persecuted, so no one claimed a faith and were therefore "Godless")
... And what does this have to do with using White Phosphorus?
that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
The only line I could find that even relates to the War in Iraq is this one, and doesn't apply for two reason:
The official reason has nothing to do with religion.
The treaty you reference is applied to Trippoli, in Libya, which is next to Niger, and therefore really doesn't apply.
Also, when the US signed the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, it made a reservation about Article 7, the most applicable part quoted here:
When one of the parties to a conflict is not bound by an annexed Protocol, the parties bound by this Convention and that annexed Protocol shall remain bound by them in their mutual relations
unilateral statement, however phrased or named, made by a State when ratifying, acceding or succeeding to a treaty, whereby it purports to exclude or to modify the legal effect of certain provisions of the treaty in their application to that State (provided that such reservations are not incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty)
So to sum it up, we said that if we were at war with a country and they were not signers of the treaty, we can ignore it as we see fit (within reason). IMO, all bets were off the moment they started violating otheragreements.
Your response is a typical north-american response... Try to put some comment on any board with a non-english language (try portuguese, if you can) and get a moron insultating you because you don't knows every single rule and word from their language, and you maybe will understand my irritation.
Double moron for you, stupid. You earned this with your "educated response".
They're called Grammar Nazis, so he's obviously not from North America.
--Lockblade
Oh, BTW: If you're going to insult someone, it honestly does make it more effective if you take the time to correct grammar. Just because English isn't your native language does not make you immune to the rules.
Granted, there aren't many games for the PSP, but I think a lot of the problem has to do with the fact that there's 50 million PSP owners. That's a ton of people buying games, even if only 1 in 10 people want to buy a game. Since publishers don't expect to sell many copies of a game, they only make a few hundred or thousand copies of a game, contributing to the tiny PSP library. It's more of a quantity problem than a library problem.
Ok great, you like having an old system, more power to you.
But, but, that's exactly what they don't want!
Eh, I don't know about that. An old 500 MHz Celeron needs more power than most new laptops. And I'm pretty sure ENIAC needed quite a bit of power to run.
Why is it that EVERYTHING that tries (and usually fails) to connect itself to the net label itself "cyber?" Seriously, can we come up with something different, like "Network Operations" or something that doesn't remind me of bad movies from the 80's?
Out of curiosity, why did you allow anonymous edits on the wiki? It doesn't take much for someone to enter a username and password. You don't even have to require an email, just have the username there to easily revert changes by spammers.
I can't believe it.
You had and have Actors as heads of state, only two parties one can vote for, tolerate torture, infiltrate other countries...
WTF is democratic about that. Please go away and do not spread ANYTHING in the world, thank you.
I hear you, it's just unclear what your point is. If I can absolutely prevent my family from coming to harm by killing a family half a world away I certainly would too.
This is of course a non-existent dilemma, though, in real life. In real life a more likely scenario is that family halfway around the world shares some attribute (ethnicity, religion, regional homeland) with a real threat, so your government tells you that killing them will make you safer. Your government is, most of the time, lying.
In that situation, you're right. But in the case that the GP is presenting, where an extremist from a specific area obtains a nuke, I'd rather glass the area than risk the chance of one exploding near me.
If I had to choose whether to chance my family's safety or take out a family half a world away, would I do it? You bet I would. I value me and my family more than I value someone I have never seen nor met that wants to kill me.
Much more friendly than the accursed Microsoft though, still no progress (real) towards Linux on there, makes me wish I bought a PS3:-/
Microsoft has the XNA API for homebrew games.... and they let you sell games on their network. I'd say that's pretty friendly.
Until you realize that you have to shell out $100/year to even test the game on your XBOX. I'm not saying that the PS3 is any better in terms of cost to actually ship a game via disk or direct download, but at least you can "develop" on the PS3 for free.
I think most of the fuss comes from two things: The original Killzone was billed as a Halo-killer, but fell flat for technical reasons: The PS2 couldn't handle it.
The second is that it's a PS3 exclusive. You just don't see exclusives much any more. Even though the PS3 as a platform is just as good (give or take a game or two) as the Xbox, the exclusives are either a given (MGS4) or seen as inferior (Resistance 1&2). So, when an exclusive title comes out for the system and there's no real response from the other party in terms of game, it seems better.
Are people really surprised by this? Think about it: IIRC, some laptops were locked out of using their stereo mix and even mic ports a while back using the drivers. You're surprised that Microsoft didn't blink at doing it? I'm surprised they they haven't done it with an XP or Vista patch.
The one thing that I'm disappointed by is that even with the title of "Administrator" I don't have the same privilege of deleting my own files as a normal user on Linux. It's not unexpected though... The admin account can't actually do much more than install programs or regedit by default.
...Halo brought a level of finesse and polish to FPS games that at the time hadn't been seen... ever. A good story was combined with good gameplay combined with massive outdoor levels combined with great AI combined with vehicles combined with awesome graphics, etc. etc...
I was under the impression that the Half-Life series did most if not all of this before Halo. I really want to say that more people go back and replay Half-Life than the amount that goes back and replays Halo...
I'm not saying that the Halo series sucks, but I'm just saying that is WAS done before. It's just to experience it, you had to have a computer that cost much more than a single XBOX.
It's not worse than CO2, because it decays relatively quickly in the atmosphere. That's why this find is significant, it means the methane hasn't been in the atmosphere that long, which means there's still an active process on Mars that's putting it there.
...The Atom is the right now the most interesting CPU around...
I really have to disagree with you there. I think the VIA Nano is a bit more interesting, as it basically beats the Atom into the ground with almost everything.
Back on topic, I think that the above post was right; most people don't need a high-end computer. Even some of the mid-range to low-end computers might be a little much for some people. AMD should really go for the cheap side, making cheap, low-power processors to tide them over while they redesign their high-end chips to compete with I7.
Garry's Mod for Valve's Source engine is extremely powerful, but easy enough for just about anyone to make an attack tub. Especially when you take into the addons for it such as Wire, which itself could be considered a programming language.
Um, no they don't. The Democrats target working class voters. Labor, so to speak. The middle class.
Middle class? That's a myth propagated by the Democratic party to make people feel better about themselves so they can vote for COMMUNISM!!!ONEONE!1COS(0)!!!
But on topic, TFA says:
Subjects who had expressed a high level of support for policies "protecting the social unit" showed a much larger change in skin conductance in response to alarming photos than those who didn't support such policies. Similarly, the mean blink amplitude for the socially protective subjects was significantly higher, the team reports in tomorrow's issue of Science
Couldn't the "protecting the social unit" bit be taken as both ways? The stereotype for a Republican IS that they only care about themselves, so does that mean that they are actually referring to Dems (gun control, national healthcare)? It's too ambiguous to have any meaning whatsoever.

I'd comment on their use of insults, but I'm trying to figure out if the irony in that last sentence was accidental or not...

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, defines a reservation as:

If we were just out to kill them all, why did we stop the bombers and cruise missiles?
This is one of the best trolls I've seen since Lunix was outed as a hacking program and Quake was used as an underground hacker training tool.
Browsers don't apply arbitrary rules, they work within certain standards which are found in the W3C HTML and CSS specifications.
Isn't that the main reason IE6 is still around in the corporate world?

I'm kind of surprised at all of the posts that reflect this kind of thinking. Please remember one thing: Just because YOU don't agree doesn't mean that you're in the majority. Even though people are trying to spread American Democracy©, this doesn't mean that everyone will adopt America's values: For example, say Iraq lawfully votes a religious leader into a public office using an Electoral College system. While I'll bet that a lot of Americans would cry foul, I'd consider that a successful implementation of the American democratic system, as long as it was fair.
