With the exception of the resolution, 20 years ago a tv with a vcr was more enjoyable and offered more features than will be present in even the highest end HD systems.
"With the exception of the resolution?" With the exception of the easier shifting, an automatic transmission doesn't give you that much over a manual, either.
And it's lack of adoption isn't a technical problem; it's a social problem. People want new features, not restrictions.
It's not a technical problem, but it's also not the restriction's. My parents, my sister, and everyone my sister knows don't have a clue that there are restrictions. They wouldn't care if there were, because it's prettier, and they weren't using any of the restricted things anyway. I know about the restrictions, and I care just as little as they do. I don't have it because I don't want to have to get on my roof and then not know if it'll work until I turn it on.
I was away for a while, forgive my lateness. The things you mentioned are some good chunks of information. Maybe you can solve my problems with it.
2001 Doc: Saddam Regime Wants France To Provide Info About US Intelligence Work Against Iraq. A list of proposals for things to talk about with France. Not surprising, and apparently not outwardly evil. The US obviously was doing things, and they want to know about it. I'd chuck it and increase the signal-to-noise, were I you.
September 12 2001: Saddam Says 9/11 Was The Result of U.S Evil Against the World He don't like us none. That's been pretty clear for a while. And it's nice to have that translation, but the context of the post makes it appear as though someone wants people to think there was something sinister about what he said, when it was only a jerk being a jerk.
A. Prepare a public relation plan that aims to clarify the rights of Iraq, and bring up what is related to the Palestinian cause, and the call to strike the presence and interests of America. The boldness was copied from the site. This under the title "Saddam Regime Plans to Strike American Presence and Interests." That little chunk was what made me say what I said before about the straw-grasping. Either the translation is bad, or it's a "public relation plan", not a military plan.
shelters (hidden shelters) that provide complete concealment and would completely hide the weapons, equipment and devices underground. As applied at the beginning of Gulf War I, this will make them hard-to-find targets for the enemy's air force, especially weapons and devices not currently in operation at this time which could operate in the future. In the event that there is insufficient roofing material, begin with the most important priorities. Editorial: Most probably these are either finalized form of WMD or precursors to make WMD when the moment is right. Is there other information to back that up? Because if I were a guy getting the crap bombed out of my military toys, I'd say something similar. In particular about my tanks and launchers. It's not impossible, obviously, that he was talking about something nastier, but just from what is said there, "Most probably," is not the words I'd use. "Might possibly," seems more accurate. But that's just from my reading of a translation. If a truckload of translators tell me "weapons and devices" in the original could only be WMDs, I'll take their word for it.
I don't have time to keep going. Like I said, some good stuff, but much of it not as damning as it seems to be made out to be. Which, of course, is not to say that everything you think was going on wasn't, and I obviously encourage the continued translation by your friend. I'd just be careful about being too quick with the conclusions drawn.
Wow. That guy sure grasped the hell out of those straws.
Some good information in there that people should know (I don't know if the guy had or was building weapons. How the hell would I?), but it's buried in an awful lot of feces.
You've said that at least twice in these comments. The first time was a link to a password protected site, and this one says nothing about global warming that I can see. Are those honest mistakes, something I missed, or an odd troll?
I just like that 1 ten-billionth of the government's wasted money goes toward building interesting toys and keeping people with doctorates from having to send in better resumes than mine for toilet cleanliness technician jobs.
That's brilliant! If everyone would just fire all their employees, the cost of running a business would drop to almost $0. Nothing but profit from then on! Managers should really get on this.
In five years, when a Democrat is in charge (yeah, right), it'll be fun to hear about how obvious our Republican bias is with our constant criticizing and conspiracy-theorizing.
As stupid as it is to judge someone by what someone they know did, if you actually believe these kids or their political parents did something wrong, please don't play the "Clinton did it, too," game. The world will be a lot better off if that crap dies with W's presidency.
Just laying the groundwork, making sure things all blur together so it's hard to oppose them. Presidential Directive 12: ID cards. Presidential Directive 13: Hugging Puppies Initiative.... Presidential Directive 41: "I am Emperor of Earth." Presidential Directive 42: Increase fines for littering by 3%.
On a related note, George W. has ridden the mighty moon worm.
And note to self: "The Mighty Moon Worm" is a great name for both an amusement park ride and a marital aid.
#5. They're just selling cheap-ass computers running a crappy piece of software at a hideous mark-up, and they don't want to have to compete with 50 other companies selling the same cheap-ass computers running the same crappy software, or software just different enough not to violate their copyright.
None of your stuff is particularly convincing. But that's okay, I don't think you're trying to convince me. Good for you for having faith. (That wasn't sarcastic, if it reads that way. Really, good for you. It must be nice.) But I'm going to have to say this:
I'll also mention one other curiousity -- ever wonder why we have 7 day weeks? If Creation didn't happen, where did that come from?
Seriously? That's part of your proof of God? 7-day weeks? The week is entirely an artificial construct. We have 7-day weeks because of the Bible (or its precursor, anyway), yes, but in the same way it's 2006 right now is because of the Bible. We decided it should be because a lot of people believe it. People needed to keep track of the sabbath because they believed it was important, so they counted 7 days. Real Creation or no, we'd have 7-day weeks.
The guy basically tells us that his predictions about ecosystems are for crap anyways, so why the heck should we listen to his current one?
I know me and you never make mistakes in our field, but most people, even non-idiots, actually are wrong once in a while. It's weird. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. The worst part is that being wrong once doesn't always make a person wrong in the future. How much does that suck? It's almost as though you can't draw a pattern from one data point.
I don't think we disagree on any of that. My only problem was with attributing the reaction to "placing faith in government." You can have (some) faith in government and not have this kind of uncoolness. Although it would be tricky to have your kid get killed and then have someone do what he did and not be a little uncool.
Since I used some pretty strong words toward the girl that lost a kid in the parent post, I'd like to emphasize, "at worst." The reality is probably somewhat less than worst.
-"Are three years enough?" -"Yeah. Go away." = Anthony's mother, Gee Walker, said she was satisfied by the sentence
In the former case, some choose to place their faith in the government and legal system, and draw satisfaction at three years incarceration for ignorant speech, at the risk of social fragmentation.
In the former case, someone is a dick when their feelings are hurt. Don't make this a "people who like government are entitled pricks." This is just a case, at worst, of one of the world's countless , ideology-spanning douchebags being given a voice.
Depending on the equipment, a simple TV-OUT port could be used, but would that really give the results a television station needs?
He said "low-power tv station," so as long as he can either tell that the local used car dealer is still bald or make out the nipple on the feed from the camera he put in his hot neighbor's bookcase, he's probably good.
In this case, I don't think there is anything wrong with queries being kept indefinately, but it should not be kept in relation to people. Make it so that they have to encrypt IPs to some other value, so that searches can be tracked, and even what the users search, but there will be no way to tie that information to actual people.
Remember when AOL did exactly that and the humongous problems with it brought the issue to everyone's attention?

The us did not concede that there were not WMD
Correct.
again - they were there, they were used vs the Kurds and more stockpiles of nerve gas were found
Again, they were there. Unusable, if I understand correctly, as they had been since shortly after that Kurd thing.
If the invasion was based on knowing they had that stuff, then it's far worse than invading based on a suspicion of real weapons.
Cool, cool.

Hopefully a few exploits will be tried while the system is being rolled out so our wonderful government regulators will realize there's a problem.
When has proof that a system doesn't work and is dangerous ever convinced a large group of politicians not to scale it up?

I think we should be asking ourselves "Is it really ok to subvert lifeforms like this for our own use?"
I'd answer, but my mouth is full of animal and vegetable lifeform. It's delicious.

As well as the ear and most of the face of the thief? Seems a little harsh.
