UNICEF puts the number of child deaths blamed on the 1990s embargo of Iraq by the US under crowd-favorite Bill Clinton at 500,000. No, they don't. Neither did they ever. The nearest thing at all to that figure is Hussein's claim of 600,000 under-5 deaths.

Anybody know why Slashdot smells like cock? Don't get me wrong, I like the musky scent of cock as much as the next red-blooded American male.

Shitty food shows, British "comedy" (now THERE's an oxymoron), a nightly news program anchored by a guy who can't decide whether he's going to fall asleep or just plain fall over dead on air.

I can't believe that MY tax dollars go to support this fucking shit.
If we're so willing to trample upon the constitutional (and God-given!) rights of spammers today, what will we, as a society, consider acceptable tomorrow? Albion Tourgée would be rolling over in his nigger-loving grave.
Feature-wise, it's fine. Up there with IE, for sure.
But as far as stability goes, it's just 100% pure ass. I run Firefox under lunix, and IE under Windows XP. I've never, in years of using it, seen IE or crash or freeze up.
With Firefox, I'm forced to restart the damn thing every couple days at best. The most common problem is that it'll just start eating up bigger and bigger chunks of memory until my whole system slows to a crawl. What kind of a browser would use 800 MBs of memory to display google.com, and nothing else? Firefox will, just give it some time.
At least I can somewhat gracefully shut the thing down and restart it when it goes on a memory binge. Often, though, it'll just unceremoniously exit while trying to load a page. That wouldn't be so bad, but every setting and bookmark I've made since starting it gets lost. I've lost god knows how many bookmarks that way.
And the worst is when it just fucking freezes. Locks up, doesn't respond, spins its wheels forever, totally ignoring any attempts I might make to get control back. Time to "kill -9", again losing any settings or bookmarks. And even after the signal of death, it somehow stays resident for minutes, so that I can't even start a new one, since a new instance would make me use a new profile.

Yea, right. I skimmed and mostly missed the point.
You know about the Generator class? It's standard with Ruby 1.8.something (might be an addition since 1.8.1):
require 'generator' def make_dash_gen(int_enum)
Generator.new do |g|
int_enum.each do |n|
g.yield "New number" # Just for illustration
n.times { g.yield "-"}
end
end end
and then
d = make_dash_gen((1..20).to_a) d.next;d.next;d.next # etc... d.pos;d.rewind;d.next? # other methods
You could just as well have make_dash_gen itself take a Generator ("while int_gen.next?;int_gen.next.times {g.yield '-'};end" instead of "int_enum.each do |n|..."), or have it take either.

BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhuanet) -- A young monkey at an Israeli zoo has started walking on its hind legs only, like humans, after a near death experience.
Natasha, a 5-year-old black macaque at the Safari Park near Tel Aviv, was diagnosed with severe stomach flu with three other monkeys and slipped into critical condition two weeks ago. CRIENGLISH.com reported Thursday.
After intensive treatment, her condition stabilized. But to everyone's surprise, when she was released from the clinic, she began walking upright like a human.
Her veterinarian says the only possible explanation is that the monkey suffered brain damage from the illness.

The terrorist strike in al-Khobar appears to be more ominous than recent similar strikes in Saudi Arabia. It resembles the May 1 attack on western oil workers in Yanbu, but was more elaborate and more deadly.
The attackers were organized and they seem to have prepared extensively. They wore uniforms of the Saudi National Guard, which is responsible for security at residential compounds of foreign workers, and they drove vehicles with military markings. They successfully struck multiple targets and managed to fight off security forces for a considerable period of time. They took hostages, rigged their location with explosives, and all but one gunman reportedly escaped a siege by Saudi commandos on the sixth floor of a high-rise building.
Based on a statement attributed to its planners, the primary aim was to lash out at westerners who work in the Saudi oil industry and drive them out of the Arabian Penninsula. This motivation is corroborated by the attackers' behavior. For example, this is the second recent incident in which a foreign worker's body was reportedly tied to a vehicle and dragged through the streets by militants, a tactic clearly meant to terrorize and strike fear into the hearts of foreigners living in the kingdom.
According to eyewitnesses, the attackers meticulously avoided harming Arabs and Muslims as they mistakenly had in previous attacks. This time, they questioned the residents they encountered who were not obviously westerners in order to ascertain their identity. This time, Arab nationals and even an American Muslim were spared by the discriminating attackers.
In assessing the impact on the oil market, these terrible attacks must be put into perspective. While they have succeeded in murdering westerners and terrorizing the expatriate community in Saudi Arabia, they have not (and likely will not) result in any disruption of Saudi oil exports, except for indirect delays and expenditures related to improving security for foreign workers and companies. Hopefully oil traders will take this fact into account before making panicked buying decisions when trading resumes following the long holiday weekend.
If attacks against westerners in their places of work and residence in Saudi Arabia are not enough to create a crisis, what would be?
We would have a crisis if terrorists hit the Saudi oil infrastructure as hard as they hit the World Trade Center - with the force to destroy it.
If terrorists really wanted to strike a mortal blow at the Saudi oil industry and the ruling family, they would have to disable the kingdom's ability to produce and/or export oil. A scheme like this would involve crippling attacks on the kingdom's vital oil infrastructure, such as the Abqaiq processing facility or the export terminals along the Arabian Gulf. But even if a scenario like that were to develop, at least those problems can be fixed. Pipelines and terminals can be repaired.
The very worst-case scenario would be a political crisis - a coup d'etat in Saudi Arabia in which the royal family is overthrown by anti-western militants, who would rather plunge their country into economic chaos than export oil to the West.
So far, this does not appear to be the motivation of the militants.
If recent statements by the masterminds of the Yanbu and al-Khobar attacks are authentic, the militants are concerned with protecting Saudi oil wealth from foreign infidels. If this is true, it makes sense that they would target westerners working in the Saudi oil industry, but not Saudi oil itself. If this is the motivation, the last thing the militants would do is take out Saudi Arabia's oil fields or export terminals.
So far, the connection between western workers and the oil industry is incidental. If Americans and Britons were prominent in the Saudi food or retail industries, then those related facilities would be under attack.
Therefore, as long as the militants limit their attacks to residences and offices of westerners in the kingdom, we will ha

But either way, it's clear that the Iranians need liberation.
WASHINGTON -- The Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded that for years Iran has used a U.S.-funded arm of Ahmad Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress to funnel disinformation to the United States and to collect highly sensitive American secrets, according to intelligence sources.
"Iranian intelligence has been manipulating the United States through Chalabi by furnishing through his Information Collection Program (ICP) information to provoke the United Sates into getting rid of Saddam Hussein," said an intelligence source who was briefed on the conclusions of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The ICP also "kept the Iranians informed about what we were doing" by passing classified U.S. documents and other sensitive information, he said. The ICP has received millions of dollars from the U.S. government over several years.
An administration official confirmed that "highly classified information had been provided (to the Iranians) through that channel."
The Defense Department this week halted payment of $340,000 a month to Chalabi's program.
Patrick Lang, former director of the DIA's Middle East branch, said he had been told by colleagues that Chalabi's U.S.-funded program to provide information about weapons of mass destruction and insurgents was effectively an Iranian intelligence operation. "They (the Iranians) knew exactly what we were up to," he said.
He described it as "one of the most sophisticated and successful intelligence operations in history."
"I'm a spook. I appreciate good work. This was good work," he said.
An DIA spokesman would not discuss questions about his agency's internal conclusions about the alleged Iranian operation. But he said some of its information had been helpful. "Some of the information was great, especially as it pertained to arresting high-value targets and on force-protection issues," he said. "And some of the information wasn't so great."
At the center of the alleged Iranian intelligence operation, according to administration officials and intelligence sources, is Aras Habib, 47, a Shiite Kurd who was named in an arrest warrant issued during a raid on Chalabi's home and offices in Baghdad on Thursday. He eluded arrest.
Habib is in charge of the information collection program.
The intelligence source briefed on the DIA's conclusions said that Habib's "fingerprints are all over it."
"There was an ongoing intelligence relationship between Habib and the Iranian Intelligence Ministry, all funded by the U.S. government, inadvertently," he said.
A U.S. intelligence official said the evidence of Habib's ties to Iran includes both intercepts and some documentation. The official said Habib provided sensitive information, some of it classified above top secret, to the Iranians.
The Iraqi National Congress (INC) has received about $40 million in U.S. funds over the past four years, including $33 million from the State Department and $6 million from the DIA.
The links between the INC and U.S. intelligence go back to at least 1992, when Habib was picked by Chalabi to run his security and military operations.
An intelligence official said Habib also was the INC official who handled most of the Iraqi defectors, including one code-named "Curveball," who provided much of the fabricated, exaggerated and unconfirmed information about Iraqi weapons programs and links to terrorism that President Bush used in making his case for invading Iraq.
Indications that Iran, which fought a bloody war against Iraq during the 1980s, was trying to lure the United States into action against Saddam Hussein appeared many years before the Bush administration decided in 2001 that ousting Saddam was a national priority.
In 1995, for instance, Khidhir Hamza, who had once worked in Iraq's nuclear program and whose claims that Iraq had continued a massive bomb program in the 1990s are now largely discredited, gave Un
