They refused to do anything since she hadn't seen the thrower.
Ha Ha! You can bet your sweet ass if someone threw a knife at a cop they'd be busting the fucking door down, right now, and putting a cap in anyone's ass who didn't get on the floor, right now. None of this shit about "I didn't see who it was, so I'll let them go."
I guess its true that we get the governement we deserve in this country. Too bad we deserve to be assreamed.
You're paying for a MAXIMUM download speed. Read your own damned post.
If your internet bill says "never faster than 3 mb/sec, but no guarantee on average" and they give you "never faster than 3 mb/sec, but no guarantee on average", what exactly are you going to do about it? Go in front of Judge Wapner and bitch that you got what you paid for?
LaTex is a crufty document markup language hacked on top of a very limited language used for page processing. Its support for modern font packages and alphabets is getting much better, but it will always be limited.
It isn't very easily extensible, it doesn't really have good style sheet support, and it's remarkably easy to mix presentation and content.
It's reaching end of life, and all of the new standards that have come out in the last 20 years have really made it long in the tooth. Unicode, PostScript, XML, Hypertext, and the now-ubiquitous Gui all came to age post-LaTex, and any replacement is going to take these developments into account.
With that said, there is no replacement for LaTeX yet. Count on it being the standard for serious maths formatting for at least another 7 to 10 years. And, unless someone starts pushing a good free alternative soon, expect it to be the standard for even longer.
Yes. Tens of thousands of Kurds and Shiites were executed after the first gulf war. Again, I am not aware of any evidence that they were gassed.
I'll repeat: Saddam is a bastard. Making up stuff like "he gassed his own people" and other "weapons of mass destruction" misinformation is unescessary bullshit.
No, this was not filmed and shown on the internation news. You have your timeline wrong.
Saddam did slaughter a hell of a lot of Kurds and Shia after the first American-Iraq war. There has never been any allegations that he used gas during this slaughter (which is, of course, of no consolation to all the dead people). The gassing was never shown on the news, because it never happend.
During the Iran-Iraq war, in the late 80's, a Kurdish village was gassed. This is true. No-one knows who gassed it. A lot of people point out that that the Kurds were not gassed with any weapons similar to the ones we were actively selling to Iraq at the time, and speculate that the Iranians did it. In fact, no-one claimed that Saddam gassed the Kurds for another five years.
There is evidence that a Kurdish village was gassed. It is impossible to know who did it, though most of the evidence points at Iran.
Saddam is a bastard. This is true. There's no reason to make up stuff about him to show that he is a bastard. I'm not sure why that's being done so actively.
Last night, I installed a serious home network. I went to best buy and picked up an 802.11b home router. I went home, plugged it in, changed the password, and turned on MAC filtering and WEP.
It took me about an hour total and $70, including drive time. It would have been quicker, but for some reason I decided to turn on MAC filtering and WEP from a wireless connection (I was, uhh... testing the configuration utilities default security... really...).
Now, granted... his network is better today. In three years, though, I'm going to upgrade to a network that's much better than his current one. And it will probably cost me another $70.
The problem is, if Bush lied, then so did a good hunk of Democrats, so did the Germans, so did the French, hell, so did the entire UN, who all saw the same intelligence and all came to the same conclusion.
The general consensus before the war was, "there are probably some, but probably not a lot, and Saddam is a weasel bastard." The general consensus after the war is "there is probably none, possibly some, and Saddam is a weasel bastard." Of course, we can't "take back" back the war, anymore than we can "take back" anything else.
Now, it's time to deal with the facts. We are now a hostile occupier in a country the size of california. American resentment in Iraq before the war was high. It is growing. We're still bombing random vehicle caravans based on dodgy evidence that Saddam might be in one of them. We're still lining up people and shooting them in the head. In short, we "liberated" iraq the same way Germany "liberated" France
And, no... they did not all see the same intelligence. Intelligence communities do not just open their books to each other. The limited US intelligence we allowed the world to see was comical. Blix has called it shit. Even Powell called it shit. If that was the good intelligence, I can't imagine how awful the dodgy stuff we had was.
It is ironic that you don't believe in the justice of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Let us examine the facts:
Saddam killed hundreds of thousands innocent Americans on September 11th.
The Iraqis rolled over like a broken dog when our Freedom Tanks rolled through, proving that their wimpy god might give them the ability to dish it out, but didn't give them the ability to take it. Our American God made us tough, and it's payback time, baby.
That bastard tried to kill my daddy.
Frankly, if the above facts don't make the morality of preemptive strike absolutely clear to you, then I think you have no place in this country. I'm reluctant to use the "T" word too loosely, but I think that anyone who is actively working to discredit the President of The United States is probably a terrorist.
Actually, it was a joke. The standard urban legend is a guy who quits racing and soon after gets killed on the sidelines. That's what we expect to hear. But, instead, the guy just broke his leg.
Ha Ha.
Now, I don't know if a "sarcastic joke" published in a thread about irony is ironic or not. I think the "isn't it ironic that this isn't irony but I said is was irony" meme has washed over our culture harder than Andy Warhol could have ever imagined. Like nearly all pop art, though, the frenzied exposure and joyless reproduction has made even the original seem old and busted after just a few short years.
It's hard to imagine that it could ever possibly be ironic that the song wasn't ironic. The whole idea is so... 90's. You know, like that might have been a cool idea in '93 or something, but lord knows why any idiot like Alanis Morrisette would try to do a song like that today.
All good points. Like you, I too am superior to all the morons who liked that song. It is not them who are avoiding me, but I who is avoiding them.
You are right, of course, that Alanis Morrisette is the biggest moron of them all. I'm beginning to believe that she is not worthy of me. She's so uncultured and illiterate that she hasn't answered even one of the 2,152 letters I've sent her in the last 3 years.

Irony, as I understand it, is deliberatly saying the opposite of what you mean. No one really thinks Matt and Trey are trying to say that Native Americans are greedy soulless corporate scum.
So... if Matt and Trer are ironic, and if irony is meaning the opposite of what one says, and they're saying that Native Americans are notsoulless corporate scum, then what did they mean.
And, everyone knows that ginger ale doesn't cure colds. It's canadian.
The admin works for the user. The user does not work for the admin. If the school burns to the ground and all the data is lost, the users should complain. Loudly.
A user is someone who has a bunch of logical bits. The admin is a person who the user trusts to help him manage those bits. The admin works with the user to develop a plan to keep the bits available to some people, unavailable to other people, and keep them uncorrupted and recoverable. The computer itself is just one of the tools the admin uses to help the user manage his bits.
If a server administrator starts confusing his job with "the guy who takes care of the computer", he's probably the kind of guy would suck at any job. "I'm the guy who takes care of the hammer," says the carpenter. "I'm just the guy who takes care of the car," says the taxi driver. "I'm just the guy who approves posts," says the slashdot editor.
Actually, I am being quite serious. Tell me which machine on the netcraft uptime survey is the one you admin, and I will send you a (good) check for $100.
Which of those machines on the netcraft board is admin'd by you? I think it's really damned impressive that you have a machine on the netcraft uptime list.
Obviously, I was referring to availability, and not uptime, but uptime like that is worth a reward anyhow. Tell me which of those machines is yours, and I'll send a check to the registered domain admin.
I won't stick it up my ass first, though. You'll have to get your scat kink somewhere else.
a power outage on RAID is no different than a power outage on a single disk fs
That was my point. I've seen filesystems get hosed when the user shorts out the MB by plugging a keyboard into a dodgy port. Hardware breaks.
My personal experience is that with a moderate amount of monitoring, RAID is a good thing. However, my personal experience is also that majority of weekend-warrior sysadmins who install RAID will then go on to completely ignore the things until a year later, when the second drive in the array fails. Then, they invariably say "I didn't need backups, because I had RAID!"

You just make yourself sound like a retard when you write "virii". Like people who say "nucular" instead of nuclear and "Legos" instead of "Lego".
The plural of a "Lego block" is "Lego blocks". Saying the plural of "Lego block" is "Lego" is like saying the plural of "Ford car" is "Ford."
Bah.

It is now clear that an unprovoked, preemptive strike against a foreign nation has totally destroyed America's stature among other countries.

It really happened? You're not just making a bad joke from an old urban legend?
Ok, now that's ironic.
- Saddam killed hundreds of thousands innocent Americans on September 11th.

No, no, the big irony is all the posts under this story which call all sorts of things ironic which aren't really ironic at all. Now that's ironic.
