When asked about the possible ecological effects on marine life the military had no comment. Who cares? Fish vs. people, and not in an abstract, "this could hurt the environment long term, for mere economic benefit" way. Either a few fish will die, or a ship full of hundreds or thousands of sailors could be damaged or destroyed.
And then theres the ecological damage from a sunken ship (petrol fuel, nuclear reactors possibly) that would also harm the environment long term, plus the explosion itself will be pretty darn loud.
"In any case, possessing a device that you're not allowed to use isn't a crime. Although using it may be."
Actually, yes, in some cases, it stupidly is. Without going into off-topic specifics and starting a flame war, this time last year, there were certain combinations of mechanical devices that were not allowed to be combined. Posession of any one was OK, but posession of two or more (without assembling them) would have been "intent to manufacture". FYI, the law is no longer in effect.
that can't be, because any piece of metal can act as an antenna for an infinate range of frequencies. It just happens that certain lengths and designs are better for some frequencies than others.
I saw that happen at Cornell, but only with the entire population of the student body.
After about 60 "reply to alls" sent to everyone, I did the math, and realized that that was 7.28 x 10^9 bytes of text, every character of which was spam.
Mostly right. An SA/DA pistol can be fired without being cocked manually, but cocking the hammer reduces the amount of pressure that the trigger needs to be pulled with.
and practicing proper gun safety means always assuming you have a round in the chamber, and to treat the firearm thusly.
but thats just me nitpicking on a site that I don't usually get to nitpick on;)
Oh, come one. The rhetorical conversation was more like:
"Where are your hidden weapons labs?" "We have none!" "Well, show us." "Show you what?" "Your lack of weapons labs." "But we have none." "Well, prove it." "All right. Where would you like to look?" *pointing to a map* "Here, here and here." "Well, you can see here in 90 days, you can't go here, and we'll go here, but the guards will turn you back until they've had ample time to clean the place up. Not that they are cleaning, of course, but we'll give them time anyway." "Ah, so, then, you refuse to be cooperative."
its configurable. In the system properties, you can set windows to write a small, medium, or large memory dump, and automatically reboot. I think the "auto reboot" bit is on by default, but why not? it helps recover from an error faster, which means less down time in production. The log is still there, and it defaults to a relatively small size (64kb maybe?) so that the write-out is relatively quick too.

HOw about places like Angola, India, North Kora, etc?

I guarantee that anyone making $10000/yr could live quite comfortably in most sub-saharan countries, much of Asia, or much of Latin America.
Organic grapes and soy-bean-curd-tofu-chicken aren't exactly battlefield-friendly.
Then lets secure the business, and not push the cost of corporate IT security onto the ignorant masses.

Because the sanitation in India is worth the risk of coming away with 8 different types of infections, and thats for non-invasive surgery.

Madlax is actually pretty good; very Noir-ish, but slightly more lighthearted (but not much).
How about when the plane is full of terrorist yarn, crashing into a neighborhood of kittens
Not perfect. Wasn't WYSIWYG, which drove me nuts to no end. Ami Pro 3 was better.
Once Word 6 came out, *thats* when it got good.
Especially if you put the paper with the passwords in a wooden crate.
No, the rembrants did the Friends theme. The Bodeans did "Closer to Free", the themesong for some other 90s teen drama.
Awesome! So basically... Starcraft/Warcraft/Age of Empires has been solved!
just play paintball or lasertag! ;)

since when is a shotgun an area weapon? Or are you basing this on your experience sniping with the super-shotgun in Quake 2?
and you're basing this on what?

I've heard this too, and always thought the third flick should be "Spaceballs IV: We found it!" and then do spaceballs 2.
either that, or "Spaceballs IV: I give up, I've looked everywhere, and can't find it."
"Records show we have 100 million users. Finance records show 75 million are non-paying. We will need at *least* 18,600 TB of storage.
