If you take down the websites describing how to attack a European city, none of the European cities will be able to design their countermeausures to frustrate the popular methods of attack.
Thanks for TROLLING, but we won't play. A very large proportion of the readership will be interested in the replies to this query, and a remarkably large number of readers will compose a broad spectrum of persons with peculiar experience pertinent to the reply. This was a sweet rarity, a truly useful Ask Slashdot. The whining critique is neither sweet nor rare, but a predictable stink.
Truly. I've never called 911 in my life, nor has anyone with whom I have a close enough acquaintance to be aware of it if they had. So I think my chances of ever calling 911 are on the order of 0.0000001. Which means that my chances of calling it when the 94.8% available VOIP service is on the fritz must be around 0.000000052. The probability that said call would actually save my life must come out around 0.000000001. If I can save 0.0004 cents each month by cancelling the local phone service entirely (as opposed to just cancelling the long-distance like most VOIP users do), it is a wise move, as far as mathematical expectation goes.
I am willing to assassinate Kim Il Jong for expenses + 10%. I will design a plan with failback contigencies in accordance with the allocated budget. I require cash on account in advance for the expenses, and payment on death for the profit margin. If you place at least $75,000 in escrow, I will submit a plan for approval within one month. Warning: Higher budget allocations will result in more reliable plans.
Anyhow, Tojo and Hirohito were much easier to hit than Kim Il Jong.
Yeah, but there's no cron, no nfs, no umpteen zillion scriptable utility programs from "a2p" to "zip". You could install cygwin, though. That's close enough to Unix so that it's useful for automation tasks.
You want to take out Tojo and Hirohito, go for it. You want to kill 2 million poor suckers who happened to live in the country they seized? I'm going to remove your liver with a putty knife, or die trying.
> Compared to the opposition in the war the U.S. behaved in a fairly civilized fashion.
With the notable exception of the mass-murder conducted in Germany after the end of the war, and depopulation fire-bombing of major cities in Europe and Japan, sure. Those are some hellacious exceptions, however.
The allies won because they were more vicious, ruthless, and bloodthirsty than their enemies. It generally works that way.

The law, in its infinite justice, forbids both rich and poor alike to steal food or sleep under bridges.

If it runs on Linux, it should run on FreeBSD since it has a Linux emulation layer.

This is not an analytic truth.
In the past they leased the whole executive branch, but the lease ran out.
Frankly, either one and you're screwed.
Pick door number 2.
Proposing serious consideration of the consequences of one's actions is not idealism, it is realistic responsiblity.

If they weren't doing EVIL they wouldn't be trying to HIDE IT.

I'm also taking bets on Drake's equation.
99.9% of 365 days is 0.365 days, not 3.65.
I think the short bus is coming.
Get ready.

So, does the job suck as much as I imagine?
What is Windows, but a badly debugged collection of device drivers?
The network is the computer, and Google is it's OS.
It's also easy to get self-righteous when you have a FUCKING BACKBONE.
Name one city burned to the ground by the Germans or the Japanese. Just one. Please.
Or by "both sides" did you mean the Americans and the British?

Assassination is the only decent mode of warfare.
What do you call aboriginal Americans? Subhuman animals?
Why invade? The U.S. already won.
Tell me why we bothered to occupy the big islands? Japan already lost. It was a waste of time, money, and a whole hell of a lot of lives.
Um, yeah. If by doing wrong you mean doing something that is like to land you in jail.
There's no law against insipid tautology where you come from?

Several times that.

I haven't met anyone who died of radiation poisoning in Nagasaki who didn't regret that the bombs were used.
