a) It was 8 to 200 thousand. And it was very good methodoly under extremely adverse circumstances, or it woulnd't have gotten past review. Get your facts straight before spouting off 'tard. b) Bush is saying Strict Interpretation and lying through his teeth. He's already said that they have to support "under god" when a strict interpretationist might not. Plus, a strict interpretationist would shoot down Patriot Act, which I doubt Bush would be cool with. c) And the world is being killed by your guns and afraid that more will die.
FYI - the constitution is part of the law, and supersedes the legislative branch. So, striking down laws as unconstitutional _is_ strict interpretation.
Because he appointed the idiots who screwed up. Rumsfeld is a colossal screwup, and the man hasn't even been given a stern talking to, much less been fired. The buck stops where?
All I know is that I haven't seen any more "I get metamod and I moderate down all 'offtopic' and 'troll'" sigs. I'd like to think that my sig was involved, but that's probably wishful thinking.
Agreed. Tolerance goes both ways people. Religious right folk have just learned to ignore reasoned arguments after having too much anti-religious vitriol spewed at them. So correct or not, angry rants are counterproductive.
Besides that, people are too quick to paint all religious folk with the same brush. My wife is an Anglican, and believes that "Christian science" and literalism are ideological suicide. Faith is faith - whether a Christian-concept God exists or not, there will be no proof, no evidence, real-world implication that it exists... and an abrupt "creation" doesn't seem subtle enough for that. The universe shuold be taken at face value, and religion applied to wonder about what exists outside of it.
Yeah - I caught that too. Its not that Slashdot needs a spell checker... the spelling is valid. Its just that it needs to be edited by something other than a febrile two-year-old.
There is a time when increased taxes are appropriate to fiscal conservatism. That time is now, when your deficit is so severe that, even while cutting spending, you will be unable to recoup your losses without increasing the cash flow into the government. Fiscal conservatism demands more than a tax break.
Plus, the economist saying "vote Kerry" is saying more than most magazines do... most magazines, when they endorse someone, it means "this is good for our cause".
The economist is read by investors. To them, it means more than its good for a cause. A recommendation from the economist to them means "do this to get more money". A far more direct effect. Especially when even here in Canada, I here people saying "I hope Kerry doesn't win or my pharma stocks will go down".
fuck it. Nobody follows the rules anyways. Just stop making new, stupid TLDs except one:.x.x is simple - use for "everything else". Require that any unrecognized TLDs in a URL that people enter automatically use.x as their TLD. So typing in google gets you google.x and so on. Then stop making new TLDs.
Honestly, people don't follow the rules for.net, why do you expect any other public TLD to bother? Hell, most educational institutions outside of the USA don't have.edus either..i.don't.really.care.about.tlds.any.more
Funny, Toronto hasn't exploded into a 3rd world hellhole. I'm still here in Canuckistan. Whaddaya know? Balkanisation doesn't ruin the country, so long as everyone's law abiding and decent to each other and knows enough English to get by.
Because they can't do a damn thing about the Mexicans, so they have to suck it up and accept the problem. Indians can't sneak into the country.
Besides, nobody cares about the shit jobs the illegals are taking - the government only has to move when the middle class starts getting scared, and they're the ones that Indian outsourcing hurts.
Either way, they've done the typical OSS thing: copied MS, circa 1997. Wow, we've managed to replicate Visual Basic 4. Meanwhile,.NET Architect is out there, using a powerful multi-language VM instead of a BASIC interpreter.
Well, who knows. Maybe when Parrot takes off they'll move over to that, so they can have a real OSS theme to it.
Well, imho the problem with armed ACV's is that its putting all your eggs into one point of failure, the remote control system. If the entire command structure is gone, a soldier still has his wits to tell him what to do, or what not to do. If the automated command system has been eletronically compromised, suddenly you have a whole bunch of new charlies on your hands. The saving grace is that the maximum damage is equal to the maximum sortie deployment at one time - you can only hack that which is live. With missiles, this is minimal - missiles aren't in flight for very long (and besides, many can't do a 180 and attack home base anyways once underway). Ditto ACV bombers, but less so - they're in flight a little longer. But what happens when we've a 4000-head AVC minitank platoon?
The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

Strict interpreters of the law:

Bush just wants judges who'll suck him off.

Anybody know how it compares to DeLi? http://delilinux.berlios.de/
I've been considering loading DeLi on my old 166.

First and foremost: don't use the C standard library. glib or C++ standard lib. C standard library is security suicide.
Servers. Only servers. Wake me when Dell offers SuSe on their home desktop models.

Heheh, steam fits nicely into this pipedream of yours - offering game content as a subscription service.
Red vs. blue and Homestar are all the TV the internet needs.
They've also ignored the main Green party - Cobb is just as forgotten as Badnarik.

Yes, but how does it compare to other fad distros like Yoper? Remember when Yoper was the shit everyone was talking about?
I do, but I'm not a metrosexual who needs $200 sunglasses.
Acrocrap pdf reader has the same problem when clicking embedded links - it launches IE no matter what's the default browser.

Of course it will be small - don't you remember?

Nuclear is only okay on things that are designed to kill people. Didn't you get the memo?
