You say we have 30 years of natural gas left. Well how many years of nuclear energy do we have left? It wouldn't do much good jumping on to nuclear if that will only last for 50 years...

To me, this looks like it is against the license to have a server with CGI on a WindowsXP computer. That is a much bigger deal than the VNC thing, in my opinion.
Look, seperation of church and state doesnt mean you have to be an athiest. It also doesn't mean you can't express your religious viewpoints. Swearing on bibles and stuff is just a harmless tradition (and isn't even done it some courts today). Now, if Bush says "God wants us to destroy Iraq, so we are doing it." that would be different. Don't be a fool. Politicians can still be religious and can still express their opinions and beliefs. They just aren't supposed to use religious justification for their political decisions.
"God is with us" has nothing to do with it. We have seperation of church and state in this country. Good principle. Your country should try it. Our military action is just to protect our citizens. THAT is what a government is supposed to do. Al Queda hasn't been able to pull anything off since we wisely used our military to stop them. Mission accomplished.
Flying a flag is like saying "I'm a mindless tool?"
Funny, I thought it was a way of saying "I love my country." It doesn't even necessarily mean you support the current administration's method of protecting national interests (although most people do, and it seems to be working well so far since no terrorists have been able to pull anything off yet), just that you love your country.
You must live in a hateful world, little man.
Oh and in case you were wondering, my life and the lives of my countrymen are more important to me than the lives of citizens countries.
I am posting this with 0.9.9 right now. I just went for a trip around some pr0n sites that have multiple popups (when using internet explorer). With this version of Mozilla, if you go to:
Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Scripts, then unclick "Open unrequested windows"
You will get no more popups! Pages that use javascript to open in new windows when you click on something still work, but pages that open up other windows when they load (popups) have no more power over your browsing experience! Yay!
I think it is great that something like this will shake some of the beliefs of the American people. It is nice to see that places outside the European nations actually did some discovery prior to the Europeans.
I'm an American person. The idea that somebody else landed here before Columbus doesn't shake my beliefs at all. What beliefs do you think should be shaken? I am sure lots of people got lost and ended up here or whatever over the history of the world. They either died here or never cared to investigate once they got back. Basically, these 'discoverys' were worthless because they were either not documented or nothing came of them. For all useful purposes, Columbus discovered America. I am not exactly shaking. Did you have a point?
I wouldn't call it a "near genocide." There were battles over land, yes. But what killed most of the "native" americans was disease. You can't really blame the early europeans for giving indians disease. Many settlements of america wanted to live in peace, cooperatively with the indians, such as the quakers.
Don't call it genocide. The vast majority of native deaths was due to the europeans unintentionally bringing disease.
The US Government has always been willing to fight for the interests of US businesses overseas. There is nothing wrong with this in princible, that's what governments do. It is even mentioned in the constitution that the government should have power to protect US merchang ships from pirates. This is protecting business interests overseas with military action, btw. In fact, the war of 1812 was mainly about protecting US business interests abroad with military force. English military ships were routinely stopping or stealing from US trade vessels. The US decided to go to war over this. What's the big deal? Protecting the interests of our businesses is in the interests of all of us.
Of course that doesn't mean everything the government has done to benifit our businesses was moral (depending on your definition), but in princible, it is the right thing to do. We can't just let whoever wants to hijack our businesses metaphorical trade vessels as soon as they leave our ports.
To me it seems obvious. Plaintext email should be considered a postcard. Encrypted email is mail in an envelope. Apply the same law. Cracking an encrypted email should be illegal like reading somebody else's mail. Is reading somebody else's postcard illegal?
Any $25 webcam is actually worthless. I have two Logitech QuickCam Express cammeras. They were $25 and the video the put out is--horrible. it is so grainy that motion detection would always consider it a moving shot. The only way you can get decent picture quality with them is to shine an EXTREMELY bright light in the direction the cammera is facing. And pretty much every cheap webcam uses the same video reciever. Don't buy a cheap webcam. It is just not worth it.
The antitrust laws were made to protect consumers, but it seems consumers aren't getting to see how the antitrust laws are working for them. Just doesn't seem right to me, but I'm no lawyer (just a consumer).
Threre is a HUGE difference between censoring people's emails (what china will do) and simply reading people's emails. In my opinion, anything sent in plain text over the internet should be considered public anyway!
I can't believe you got a +5 for say reading email and censoring an entire population are the same thing. My God!
How about because Linux supports more hardware than any other free operating system? I would love to have a bsd on my computer, but half of my hardware would be worthless with bsd. And yes, I investigated this thoroughly.

Your math is wrong and your comments about the DMCA show that you don't even know what DMCA stands for (hint: the C is for Copyright). For some reason your post has a +5. I simply don't understand. As a general rule, I don't speak when I have no clue what I am talking about. You should consider that.
Nicotine or caffine? I find this to be horribly offensive. I mean seriously. If you work as a programmer you have to have at least a certain level of intelligence. And no intelligent person would intentionally suck hot ash or smoke down his own throat. The exception to this, of course, is in people who weren't watched well when they were children (and as children, we are all stupid) and became addicted before they became intelligent programming adults. Stereotyping professionals as smokers (especially my profession) is just plain insulting.
"Since the United States is the most enlightened country in the world with the most enlightened leadership in the world"
I work with a girl from India. She has lived in the US for three years. At first it disgusted her that men and women lived in the same buildings. But now all she always talks about how the us is the most enlightened country in the world. She said our laws protecting freedom of religion and protecting women are "so wonderful" and she thinks our culture (how we treat women and people different from ourselves) is amazing. She describes the USA as "the most civilized nation in the world." She fully supports the war and hopes we liberate the horrible human rights practices in middle-easter countries.
My point is, don't go bashing it unless you have something to compare it to.
I worked for a market research firm. If we called somewhere and it hung up right away, we would hit the "no answer" button on the computer and the number would come up again in about two hours...
You get that info from looking at the logs? The logs are WRONG! Opera by default identifies itself is IE. There is a huge percentage of people who use Opera primarily. For instance, four of my non-techie friends use it all the time. My girlfriend uses it. I just showed them the basics of how to use it, then the cool feature only Opera has (like gesture navigation) and they were hooked. When reading the logs, remember this: a large percentage of those IE hits are really Opera .
"Seriously I would love a bit of feedback when my mouse moves over a button or a link."
Well taco, the Logitech iFeel mouse has been out for several months and is already able to do that. I have one. It is usb-only (which is a pain to set up sometimes even with the latest kernel) and there are no drivers for linux that allow it to use the vibration, though. With the windows drivers, it vibrates whenever you move it over a link in IE, but it is not that helpful, because it doesn't keep vibrating. You feel the same then whether you move it past the link or not. Not very helpful. And it only works in Internet Explorer, not Netscape or Opera (which is by far the best-engineered browser of them all). All in all the mouse is neat but the tactile feedback is not useful.
So, in my opinion, this "feedback" techonology is not the next big thing, and will be almost unheard of in a few years except in specialized tasks.

It's pretty hard to get a job that requires you know C++ when all you know is 'theory' and not any actual C++.
There should be a happy medium in CS ciriculum. Many schools, I think, do this (such as Ohio State).

Wait, I thought that Germany was not allowed to make a military after that whole WWII thing. How the heck do they have war boats?
