Apart from the fact that the IRA where not the only terrorist organization active with in the UK, and Northern Ireland was not the only conflict. The IRA where far more effective at causing actual terror in the UK than Al Quieda have ever been or will be in the USA.
Oh and when we get an appology from the American goverment for allowing it's judicial system to harbour the perpertators of the violence in the USA, and allowing it's citizen's to providing funding for the terrorist organizations then we might stop calling you hypocrits. I believe the French have issues about the USA harboring Algerian terrorists as well, and doubtless other nations have issues.
Of more interest is the number of valid current driving licenses. Of course the problem is that just because 1.8m people signed a petition should not mean that we stop doing something. What about the other 58 million or so people that DID NOT sign. Now if you had over 30 million signatures saying not to do something then you might have a point. If there had not been wild unfounded and unsubstatiated rubbish being spread about the goverments intentions and urging people to sign it, then the 1.8m figure would be much more significant
However in the meantime just because 1.8m people sign something does not mean that the goverment should immediately stop doing something. To do so would be mob rule and not democracy. If you really want to see a change you have to vote for something else next time. Remember around 40% of people failed to even bother to register a vote last time, so on average 720,000 of those signing the petition have only themselves to blame.
IAAP (I am a physicist) and an electical current is the movement of electrical charge. Consequently your "electrochemical state changes that propagate along nerve axons" are in fact electrical currents in the strictest sense of the word. When we have moving charge we have a current end of discussion.
The fact the propagation speed is much lower than when the electrical charge is an electron and the medium is a metal is entirely irrelevant. Lots of mediums exist that propagate electical current at much slower speeds than metals. I would also point out that propagation speed of an electrical current bears no relation to the velocity of the charge carriers either.
Curious do you wish to explain then how RHEL4 release 4 box would be running Firefox 1.5 if that really is the policy because at release 3 it was 1.0.7?
Because Ubuntu does not have a long track record of providing five years of product support. Once you deploy a server in a production enviroment doing OS upgrades is not something to be done lightly, and if it ain't broke I am not about to try fixing it. Knowing I can depend on RedHat to keep my servers secure to the point I will be binning the hardware first is very important.
The point of this I think was to pin down the fact that the computer that was identified in the report was directly connected to the internet and not through a NAT or similar firewall.
If the defendant does not have a NAT firewall, and there is no evidence that the computer the defendant owns ever had Kaza installed the prosecution is in deep trouble.
Similarly is the defendant does have a NAT firewall, then again the prosecution is in deep trouble.
Also as this "expert" witness (and I use that term very loosly) is used a lot by the RIAA pinning him down now on these things may well be useful in the future.
Does Mail talk to an Exchange server yet? Does Calander talk to an Exchange server? Does Lepoard even manage to do talk to a DFS share? Can I easily integrate my Mac into an existing Active Directory setup yet?
Or you could have modified/etc/redhat-release so that it is the same as genuine RHEL machine. The CentOS people cannot do that due to trademark issues, but it is an easy change to make.
They don't certify CentOS works either, but I can tell you for sure that Tivoli Storage Manager Extended edition works just fine on CentOS 4.4
If Oracle Linux is from the same mold as CentOS then it is a fear factor rather than anything serious. Personally if I where Oracle I would hire as many of the CentOS developers as possible and get them to do a spin of CentOS as Oracle Linux.
You seem to be forgetting the killer potatoes that they bred using normal techniques in the 1970's. Got right through to being harvested from the field before someone spotted what was going on. Then there is the celery that caused the pickers to get second degree burns. If you believe that selective breeding is entirely safe you are a sadly deluded fool.
The gene added to the potatoes was one that encodes for the prescription drug galantamine and came from snowdrops. It was done as part of an investigation into gene splicing techniques and the resultant potatoes where never intended to be feed to any living creature. The idea was that galantamine does not naturally occur in potatoes so it would be easy to test for how sucessful the gene splicing was.
Also the rats where actually feed a synthetic version of the potato procduced by mixing ordinary potato with the galantamine as the researcher did not have access to the genetically modified potato!
Not only that the rats where not feed any genetically modified potato!!!
What happened is that a group doing research into gene splicing techniques spliced a gene that encodes for Galantamine from snowdrops into potatos. Galantamine is a prescription drug that is metabolised in the liver. Handy for finding out how well your gene splicing technique is working because potatos don't naturally contain galantamine.
However nobody in their right mind would ever feed this genetically modified potato to any living creature. There are plenty of plants that are toxic to humans and nobody should be surprised that splicing genes that encode for the toxins in these plants into foods is harmful if the foods are injested.
Then some random other researcher decides to force feed rats a synthetic version of this genetically modified potato (that is ordinary potato mixed with the galantamine because he did not have access to the real stuff) in large quantities. From this he concluded that the rats are damaged from genetically engineered potato. Given no rat ingested any genetically modified potato this is a bold claim.
Unfortunately like around 20% of papers in Nature he got his statistics wrong. At least according to the Royal Statistical Society he got his statistics wrong and his experiment showed nothing. Call me a synic but statistics is hard to get right, and my money is on the panel of trained experts with degrees and PhD's in the subject and not some biologist.
That just makes it a large vehicle with a powerful engine. It does not in any way shape or form make it a "luxury vehicle", unless your idea of luxury is very distorted. To europeans a "luxury" vehicle has qualities like ride, comfort etc. Just because it is a large box with a big engine does not qualify it as "luxury" I am afraid.
An OLPC anyone? Simple, robust has built in screen and wireless to connect to your router. Admittedly it is a bit small for an adult, so all we need is an adult run in a larger case, in say black. Not only that it is an open Linux machine so you can hack it till your hearts content.
Oh woopy I need to recharge my remote batteries very six months, instead of changing them maybe once in the lifespan of the device. It is not economic for low current drain devices that will last years with alkaline batteries to use an expensive rechargable.
Sorry but some classes of device are not economic to run on rechargables, because they last for so long on alkalines. A prime example would be remote controls, which seem to go at least five years between replacement in my experience. Other devices should not be run on rechargables for safety reasons. For example it would be very foolish to use a rechargable in something like an avalanche transceiver.
Do they? I have lived in the UK all my life, and Fahrenheit is almost never mentioned on the weather forcasts. Certainly all the temperatures on the map are in Celcius and at 36 I cannot remember when it was otherwise.
Really, do you wish to explain the existance of the Dell Optiplex 740 then? Shares the same BTX chassis options as the 745 which is the Core2 Duo option as well as the rest of the Optiplex lineup. Thing is the 740 is Dell's AMD offering for businesses.
All the current Optiplex lineup 320, GX520, GX620, 740 (the would never happen AMD computer from Dell) and the 745 are BTX chassis as well. They are great cases, tool free entry, easy access to pretty much every component are really quite quiet.
There are billions of people outside the indusrialised western world who have all their basic needs (shelter, water and food) satisfied that are looking to move to the next level. This is for these people. When did you last hear of starving children in Lybia for example?
Yes if you are have more basic needs it won't help, but not everyone in Africa is starving in a mud hut.
Because lots of people in the first world do actually want one (myself included). If you don't satisfy that demand then free market 101 tells you that a grey/black market in them will spring up to satisfy that demand. The people running the project don't want that to happen so they are attempting to satisfy the demand themselves.
From a personally perspective I would love to get my hands on one for my four year old neice. She is fasinated by computers and to give her, her very own personal one (preferably in pink) designed around her needs would make a fantastic educational present.
What is it with Americans that they call a system of units English, when said system of units has never actually been used in England! Do the English talk about their weight in pounds, do they hell, they talk in stones. I weigh 10st 12, and not 152lb. The US gallon is completely different in volume to that of the Imperial gallon used in the U.K., 3.8litres to 4.5litres. The list goes on but they are not English units, by any stretch of the imagination and the English talk about British Imperial units any way. so stop calling them something they are not.
If you are a sys admin doing large numbers of installs, you at the very least run a local server with a copy of whatever distro you are using and do net installs. In fact if you need *any* media of *any* description then you need to take a long hard look at what you are doing and sort out a pure network install method.
The only reason to do anything but a net install is if you have very limited bandwidth at the location of the install, but sufficient bandwidth elsewhere to do a download of the CD's/DVD. Under almost all other circumstances do a net install. They are much more secure anyway as you are bang up to date with security patchs as you install.

Debian seem to manage though, stable comes with Firefox 1.0.4 It seems like a lame excuse by RedHat if you ask me.

More sensible would be to use CentOS of course. You get that RedHat feel for free.
