You wrote 5k worth of review on a book about SOA while successfully avoiding giving the reader any clues as to what SOA might be. You even managed to avoid the trap of letting him know what the letters "SOA" stand for. Bravo, sir. Truly a Zen review.
If your car has a recall for a safety belt problem, and you don't get it fixed and get into an accident, is it suddenly the car manufacturer's fault? No.
It is when you can point to a past recall for a safety belt problem that caused the car to fail to start.
No, they don't. There is no law anywhere in the US that prevents children from seeing R or NC-17 movies. It is a voluntary restriction enforced by the theaters that show rated movies.
Admin system, not OPS. The ships still run fine, they just lost stuff like crew performance reviews. Quoting TFA: "purposes such as storekeeping, email and similar support functions." That said, the article notes that the loss of email for the crew was a significant blow to morale since that's how most of them kept in touch with their families. Anyone in the military knows how important mail call is.
Benefit of the doubt goes to the defense, not the prosecution. You are assuming the algorithms are *not* BS, and the prosecution doesn't get to assume.
But the point is, is that it's American-built. The chances are extremely slim that the Airbus bid will involve an Airbus being built in the US. The chances that the contract will be awarded to a craft not built in the US are nil.
Yes, from Mohammed leading the united faithful into battle, through the caliphs, and the Turkish sultans, to such decentralized Islamic states like Iran, one can clearly see how Islam has avoided the highly regimented vertical power structure. Yep.
As the Wikipedia article you point to states, Letters of Marque and Reprisal have been outlawed by treaty just about everywhere for the past 150 years.
In other words, it's only a problem when government gets involved.
Or when a corporation gets a monopoly. As some will inevitably without regulation to stop them.
Odd, all the monopolies I can think of weren't opposed by regulation; they were *created* by regulation. Refresh my memory. What corporation has an unavoidable monopoly that was *not* given to it by government regulation? No, not Microsoft; Microsoft is very avoidable if you're willing.
All three replies to me were like that. I like it when the opposition proves my point.
My response proved your point incorrect. A powerful enough corporation can force one to make business with it or die. And unlike a government, the poor captive customer doesn't have any way to influence it.
I cannot think of a single corporation with which I have to do business or die. Please provide some examples. Remember, now, we're talking about *corporation* power, not *government* power.

No. And neither did the South Vietnamese when they were overrun, because we abandoned them.
And, if you haven't noticed, the Iraqi insurgency has *lost*.
And that was because of force of arms or because they decided that blowing up their own country to be part of Al Quada's jihad against the West wasn't a good long term strategy?
And apparently, they couldn't come up with a long term strategy that *was* good, which tends to support my point.
If you need equivalence of arms in order to successfully resist then how do you explain Vietnam and the Iraqi insurgency?
I explain Vietnam by equivalence of arms. It's only in a successfully perpetrated mythology that the North Vietnamese won with nothing but the rebel Vietcong with his AK-47. In fact, the VC was almost completely annihilated in the Tet Offensive. The final overrunning of South Vietnam by the NVA involved more tanks than Germany fielded in WWII.

The Monster Manual should prove interesting as well.

That's the point--we're *not* taking the product of their work. They still have it!
I bet you also complain when people talk about telephoning each other when they use VOIP. Sheesh.

Yes, that was Stanislaw Lem; one of his Trurl and Klaupacius stories from The Cyberiad. "The First Sally (A), or Trurl's Electronic Bard"
Apparently you can't reverse the polarity of the blood flow if you don't have a sonic screwdriver.
Not half as much as when you give it to an Anonymous Coward.
But that would mean the Google servers are witches! May we burn them?
Russian /= Soviet. If it's Ukrainian, it's true that it's not Russian, but while Soviet existed, Ukrainian was Soviet.

Well, there's always the old Latin saw: De mortuis nisi nil bonum "Of the dead [say] nothing but good"
"But how do I *know* the Invisible Girl's been installed?"
"Take our word for it. $10, please."

I would find it more likely that it was invented by Cologne. 2000 years of Chinese Amazon history can't be wrong!
Who is John Galt?
Or should that be who is John of Gaunt?

Well, he can't have iChoke-U, because that's already taken.
