    Great job Slashdot, CNN couldn't handle their load and had to change the format of their site.... Maybe they should switch to Slash :)

  3. Great Book... on XML in a Nutshell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the only problem is, I learned a lot of the concepts, however I usually learn a lot faster with code examples. Anyways the SAX and DOM areas have a little bit of code, but do not go into huge parsing examples. (Maybe I read it wrong...) Good book O'Reilly usually doesn't put out bad ones. Hopefully there will be Java / XML Cookbook. (I know there already is a Java Cookbook) I love those...

  5. Re:Arm Pilots on More On Tragedy · · Score: 1

    I like your thinking but, I'd rather have the pilots fly the plane than worry about stopping terroists.

    The solution: More Sky Marshalls. Put a minimum of two on each flight. People who are trained in stopping terroist attacks.

    Pros: This would obviously deter terroist action. Or help in the overall good ending...
    Cons: Having a lot of trained people doing nothing and getting payed to do it. Just sitting on a flight that basically once in a blue moon has the chance of getting Hijacked. Oh well I'd pay an extra $5-$10 for that peace of mind though.

    Gung honess since the 1990s? I don't remember us reacting that much in the late 90s, here is one more link you should check out. Remember those years when the Lebanese were bombing our embassies and commiting random terroists attacks? What did Regan do? He bombed them into submission. You letting this get by shows that you don't mind these attacks going on, so AC show me a solution, and I will get behind it. I love people that critique actions or policies but never seem to give out their own opinions, those are the people that usually don't vote. :)

    I am proud to be an American, and if part of that is waving my flag or dick, it ain't going to stop. Deal with it.

    You bring up a good point...

    Check out this link. The way to disable these nuclear bombs is to neutralize them. Take out there key to them (There scientists who learn how to use this nuclear capabilities). Also do you think that if we don't retailate they are going to say gee, we shouldn't use that nuclear weapon and not become a martyr for Allah because the US was nice enough to let this last action pass by... Bullshit. Get your thinking straight. Take out the bombs before they can use them.

    And let it keep going on, thanks but no thanks.

    Action must be made to protect our beloved soils. You do understand that a nation that lives in fear cannot be free. (I don't see anyone in a hurry to jump in a plane anytime soon, let alone work in a high rise) We as Americans, from the time we were very young have been told that we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Brave action must be taken against these forces that oppose our freedoms and our way of life. No matter if we start bombing or no we have to send in troops to eliminate the troops eliminate this threat. Period. Or else a reign of terror will continue, much like Saddam has ever since we have chosen to contine to let him live.

    THE response to this unimaginable 21st century Pearl Harbor should be as
    simple as it is swift - kill the bastards.

    No, I don't mean hunt them, arrest them, extradite them and prosecute them
    in a court of law.

    I mean a far quicker and neater form of retribution for this cabal of
    cowards. A gunshot between the eyes, blow them to smithereens, poison them
    if you have to.

    President George W. Bush should right now be putting his name to a fresh
    document - one that rescinds Executive Order 12333, signed by President
    Gerald Ford on Feb. 18, 1976.

    It reads in part: "No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United
    States should engage in assassination or conspire to engage in
    assassination."

    Right for that time, wrong for this time.

    [You can sign an online petition urging repeal of this executive order by
    going to http://www.libertypetitions.com]

    Train assassins (we've done it before), hire mercenaries, put a couple of
    million bucks up for bounty hunters to get them dead or alive, preferably
    dead.

    As for cities or countries that host these worms, bomb them into basketball
    courts.

    No, it won't bring back the thousands of innocents and the brave cops and
    firefighters lost, but it might stop the sacrifice of other innocents.

    "This is an act of war of an enormity that is staggering," Sen. John McCain
    of Arizona said yesterday.

    Former Secretary of State Gen. Alexander Haig said: "We should be ready to
    take resolute action, which we have failed to in the past."

    The point is that Osama bin Laden has been at war with us for a decade -
    make no mistake, he's behind the attacks.

    At the beginning of the year, he issued a video to his followers urging them
    "to penetrate" the United States.

    Only three weeks ago, he was quoted in an Arabic newspaper saying he was
    preparing a big action against our country.

    He is the sole individual who has the billions of dollars, the training
    camps and the fanatics to have perpetrated this sophisticated bloodbath.

    Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said yesterday: "This wasn't
    planned in a handful of homes by a handful of fanatics."

    When we put a rocket in the pocket of Moammar Khadafy, he went as quiet as a
    mouse.

    If the CIA can't find this ameba Osama Bin Laden, leave it to someone else.

    We should give the Taliban, which protects this monster, 24 hours to clear
    the city of Kabul of innocent civilians and then start the process of urban
    renewal with high-altitude bombing.

    Then we should go into the interior, hunt down the desert rat and execute
    him and his followers on the spot.

    And if Saddam Hussein makes so much as a peep, do him, too.

    The time has come.

  10. Re:Iraq theory creditable on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Media and others are jumping on the Osama Bin Laden theory a bit too eagerly for my comfort.

    True, but Bin Laden is a known terrorist. He has been guilty of several past crimes as well as being the major suspect in this one. Elimination of him is necessary. I also think they really should do, is throw out the Constitution for just an hour. Take the guys who are supposed to go on trial this week (it's this week right) for the '93 bombing of the WTC and hang them right in front of the WTC remains. Send a message out to all terroists that we ain't fscking around. That all crimes of terror will not go unpunished. Then explain to any country harboring potential terroists they will be considered enemies of the state. Also in case you didn't notice, a lot of countries and people already do hate us no matter our reaction / or counteraction will be.

    Most of these countries have been trained to hate us through mass propaganda. Palestinians passing out candy in the streets? Afganis' shooting their guns in celebrations? Confetti being thrown? What's going to happen now is there is going to be an accordance, we will find out what countries are with us, and everyone else is basically against us, and if they get in the way of our slashing blade of swift justice, so be it.

    One pissed of American.

    By the way Israel, this is your chance to wipe out the Palestinians, no one here (probably anywhere) will care.

    Violence induces more violence. Retaliation will only lead to more deaths.

    I agree with you, but this attack must not go unpunished, and if they is no action taken, more terroist attacks shall continue. Regan in the 80's stopped this by bombing the hell out of Libya. The same action must be taken. This attack, is a major attack, so I will be writing my representative to make sure our soils are safe.

  13. Re:law and guilt on Sklyarov, Elcomsoft Plead Not Guilty · · Score: 1

    Sklyarov is clearly guilty of violating the DMCA. The not guilty plea is stupid nonsense.


    Why plead guilty? As far as he is concerned he did nothing wrong, and if anything he should be protected by the Constitution under free speech or something of that nature (Although it seems corporations these days have more rights these days than us normal people, the DMCA is just a Jim Crowe law for non-corporations :) ). By pleading not-guilty, he goes to trial to challenge this law. He and Elcomsoft can appeal a decision of them being actually guilty on whether the law is un-constitutional or not. Isn't that how it works? You can't appeal if you plead guilty, am I right?

    <RANT ontopic="false"> Over here we do our web services while heavily relying on Microsoft's Java COM objects that we built. When we degraded NT to 2000, our machines started blowing up on us, we found out that the M$ Virtual Machine wasn't doing the garbage collection that is was doing before. After two weeks of (payed) tech support, that kept escalating they finally found out it was there fault in the M$ code. That was it end of support. I wonder if this bug, was actually masterminded by the evil one himself, to strike another blow into the forever Sun Java war that M$ is waging... oh well I'm done... </RANT>

    Needless to say I hope it's not a fairy tale. I would like to see more information out there on how to do an entire switch over from NT to Linux, or a book like the NT's Administrator's guide to Linux, I think it might find a way into our NT departments X-mas stocking.

I hope Ximian Evolution does decide to eventually support the M$ format, I mean why shouldn't they? They are going to be supporting .NET anyways.
