War. Singular. Iraq is "Mission Accomplished," finally. Sort of. If having 50k non-combat troops still there can be considered over.
But to answer your question, it really doesn't have anything to do with it. Dems know their time is running out, so they're trying to get as much 'social progress' done as they can. We'll be out of there by 2014, and hopefully we can have a functioning Afghani government by then. We'll have a long-term mental health crisis to deal with amongst combat troops when this is all over.
What in the HELL is the point of a 27-character password if you're going to write it down?
People can go so egregiously far off the deep end to protect their security and then make the most basic of mistakes. A password of half that length with a decent encryption process would be nearly inconceivable to break in any practical length of time.
Every bill will have exactly one subject of legislation; any riders or amendments must directly address the subject to be considered for addition to the bill; no bill with more than a single subject will be deemed constitutional.
Okay, so how are we supposed to pass a budget, or a stimulus package, or any bill containing blanket measures with multiple smaller parts? They'd be working 24 hours a day if they had to.

No, because in the end you're not going to be able to run Windows business applications through a persistent home partition. At least not in any meaningful way.
No it is a sign of people having a laugh at those who cannot speak english properly.
Really? I thought it was an insight to how our pets might utilize English with the written word, given their lower intelligence and therefore tenuous grasp of grammar and sentence structure. Not to mention the broad appeal of AOLspeak as common vernacular of personal expression for the mentally disadvantaged, such as pets.
If I'd known it was about bigotry, I'd have suggested they merge it into the "Engrish" site.
That's precisely the problem, though..."boot." You want to use it as you would a browser, in tandem with other applications. You can't do your day-to-day work inside of a live CD distro.
I think this service drastically overestimates the reading level of the average Google user, specifically with regard to the comprehension of words like "intermediate."
Here's an idea: strip out all of Google's big-brother code and make the OS a back-end for a virtual machine that can be started and destructed at will, with a browser window as the front-end. If the OS encapsulates everything that can be used for the purposes of surfing the web, why can't it be instantiated and then started from the same point every time? It could be used as a way to ensure complete privacy.
hen I get mod points, I use 'em to mod posts UP - because they're interesting, informative, or funny, NOT because I happen to agree or disagree philosophically or politically with their content.
Somebody with points please mod this troll down.
I'd rather have five people mod me down than one person call on others for my post to be modded down. Thankfully, only one person heeded your call. Basically, you're a hypocrite.
You were being an asshole - which apparently is your default mode - and contributing nothing of substance to the discussion.
I trust the federal government to uphold due process more than I trust Google to abide by its terms of service.
This is trolling? It's HOW I FEEL. I'm trusting of the people who keep my country safe. You're free to disagree with me if you want, but not to call on people to damage my karma and therefore the overall standing of my posts.
Also, it's a little hard to be off topic on a thread I started, don't you agree? This discussion stretches page after page because apparently somebody thought it was interesting. You were completely free to ignore it.
It was a blatant attempt to provoke people, off topic, and amazingly stupid, all at the same time.
Please learn proper sentence structure. A 'retarded piece of shit' such as I could give you lessons, if you like. Also, let me show you the post I replied to:
Parent: Really? Google doesn't have the power to prosecute you based on the contents of your e-mail, and deprive you of your liberty.
A little hard to misconstrue this as off-topic. Especially since it was a reply to something I said in the first place.
Run along and masturbate to Glenn Beck now, you cowardly, retarded piece of shit.
Temper, temper. You must not be very familiar with Mr. Beck, as there's nobody in the world who distrusts government more than he does. I'm a mainstream Republican, not a fringe Tea Party Libertarian. Also, your friends on the left might disapprove of your disparagement of the mentally handicapped, as do I. How dare you, you insensitive little faggot.:)
Perl will die around the same time the world's oil reserves dry up or when we run out of IPV4 addresses. People love to talk about it, but it'll never actually happen.
Now you know how I feel every time I say anything remotely conservatively-minded. Not only do I have to deal with the hateful bile spewed my way by overzealous liberals (such as with your previous post) but I have to deal with people who will mod me down just because conservatism = trolling. I threw a fit about it a few months back, but I know the system won't be changed. So I don't get mad, I get even.
In other words: don't hate the player, hate the game, son.:)
Call me all the names you want, but you'll think twice next time you put out a blanket request for negative moderation. I take my Karma very seriously.
I'm not betting on it. The ceiling might come caving in on their little three-ring circus at any time; they'd want to get the damaging stuff out as soon as they can before they get prosecuted.
There's a big difference between a PMC misusing their funding and the government sanctioning it and condoning it. But to you, it's all the same, right?

I know this is a little late, but that was what they were playing off on the Beta for weeks now.

I would counter that extreme fatigue hampers the reasoning and decision-making process. :)
(I'm on your side about this last bill, by the way.)
Every bill will have exactly one subject of legislation; any riders or amendments must directly address the subject to be considered for addition to the bill; no bill with more than a single subject will be deemed constitutional.
Okay, so how are we supposed to pass a budget, or a stimulus package, or any bill containing blanket measures with multiple smaller parts? They'd be working 24 hours a day if they had to.
First rule of Slashdot...never be in such a hurry to make a joke as to expose your own ignorance about a topic. IGNORE.
Welcome back, Gopher.
Subdomains have nothing to do with IP addresses, other than they can point to them using A Records. DNS != IPV4

Yeah, except PBS isn't a news station. They have one hour of news every day, with a couple of political interview shows on Friday.
Who's the moron again?

You say tomato, I say tomahto.
You know, you're really quite crude for someone who sounds to be 20 or 30 years older than me.

Just as an addendum, you'd do well to heed the words of your sig.
What plugins do you recommend to keep the NSA, the FBI, and the rest of the Homeland Insecurity apparatus from doing the same?
Tor. :)
WikiLeaks will save the best till last.

I want an email provider and DNS service that allows metasyntactic variables.
Well, why didn't you say so in the first place, your_slashdot_username_here?
