Yes, well, maybe, but until you've actually died rather than do something against your will, would you mind dropping the air of superiority?
Yes, I would mind. It's a personal point of pride to me that I have not committed any crimes against humanity.
Eichmann's defense was based, in part, on the old Nazi standy--"I was just following orders." And, indeed, if each of his actions stemmed directly from a order from a superior officer, it is possible (though not especially likely) that he may have escaped the gallows.
But as Arendt points out, Eichmann was operating under the Nazi perversion of Kant's moral imperative-- "Act in such a way that the Führer, if he knew of your actions, would approve of it." Eichmann did not merely follow orders, he anticipated them-- and thus deserves condemnation.
If the Reich merely used existing eqipment, and the IBM employees merely maintained that equipment, IBM's culpability in the Holocaust would be slight. However, IBM and the Holocaust claims that IBM custom designed new equipment, new punch cards, and new programs for the identification of Jews, the looting of Jewish accounts, the transportation of Jews into camps, and the adminstration of such camps. If these claims are true, IBM employees did more than the bare minimum to save their own lives.
In fact, OmniWeb 4.5 uses WebCore as its rendering engine. Previous editions of OmniWeb used a inhouse framework that was less speedy, but visually quite impressive. Before Safari came along, I only used Internet Explorer to render the odd "Flash" site, as IE-Mac was more or less bug for bug compatible with IE-Win. I have no doubt that OmniWeb 4.5 is still impressive, but as OmniWeb is nagware, and I'm a cheapskate, I'll stick with Safari, hoping that Apple, in the end, releases a better cookie manager.
Police departments and the FBI already have the ability to conduct investigations in secret. Police departments are not required to notify a gang of criminals long before raiding them. They are simply required to show a warrant.
Prior to obtaining this warrant, the police may conduct an investigation unbeknownst to their target. They may interview witnesses, collect crime scene evidence, etc, all without neccesarily notifying their target. The FTC, however, notifies targets before commencing formal investigations. Unfortunately, targeted spammers may use this notification to frustrate the investigation, destroy evidence, or otherwise interfere with enforcement activities of the FTC.
If the FBI were given jurisdiction over spam, perhaps investigations could be conducted with a modicum of secrecy. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Instead, the FTC, hampered by bureaucratic rules and procedures, must conduct preliminary investigations in the full light of day.
As a mac user, I feel compelled to bring up Cocoa-- which comes free (or close to free) with any MacOSX package. It's got very little learning curve, there's a strong visual programming element to it (although, if need be, you can replace most of that with setAction:/setTarget: messages.)
That could violate the conditions of the GNU GPL, which states that any amendments to open-source code used in a commercial product must be given back to the community or a copyright notice must be displayed attributable to Linux, he said.
Sounds as if the source doesn't understand the difference between the BSD license and the GPL.
The National Fascist party is in favor of a regime that encourages the growth of national wealth, by spurring individual initiative and energy which constitute the most powerful and fruitful element in economic production and it abslutely repudiates the motley, costly, and economic machinery of of state control, socialism and municipalization.
(Italian) Fascist Party Platform, 1921.
Is every society that adopts these economic principles fascist? Of course not. But were the United States to adopt a more authoritarian style of government, under the current administration, I think it would be fair to say that the resulting mishmash could be more accurately described as fascist, rather than as socialist. (with perhaps the striking exception of balanced budgets)
If you look at the party platform proposed by Mussolini and his fascisti, the tenets (privatization, reducing the state budget, adopting a more regressive tax system), they're very much what is in fashion in US politics today. In fact, the first (c. 1922) fascist programs had a somewhat Liberal flavour.
Mix in a little authoritarianism (to be supplied by J. Ashcroft), a little nationalism (D. Rumsfeld?) and some emergency legislation (Patriot II) and you've got all the ingredients of a fascist state.
As more users join this site, will my uid gain more credibility ? I am keen to find out.
Kid. Let me tell you something. Slashdot is a pyramid scheme. I got sucked into years ago, and despite my comparatively low uid, I still haven't gotten the laptop I was promised. It's only the people with sub-100 ids that have really benefited. To get your laptop, you'd have to get over 1 billion people to sign up, and frankly, that's unlikely to happen.
Of course, as anyone who played "Balance Of Power" would know, the DefCons decremented as the military pressure increased. DefCon1 meant war, (and Crawford's "We do not reward Failure" alert box), and DefCon 5 was "normal".
All I did was supply military advisors to the Quebecois. Why are you angry with me?
That's great. Linux should get back to its authentic roots-- an OS for the rebel, the hacker, the nonconformist. With a C&D order hanging over Linus's head, Linux could be that operating system.
Like passing around copies of DeCSS, installing Linux could become a act of nonconformance-- a loud "fuck you" directed against the elites who think they run the world.
You've cited a mix of BSD and SVR4 distributions. Assuming that the BSD distros are insulated from further barratry, the SVR4 users (HP, Sun, etc) could still be subject to license fee hikes-- as the Linux alternative might well be closed off.
No more SCO: We've been thinking of raising your licensing fees. Target: Yes, well, we've been thinking of shipping more systems with Linux.
Of course-- although SCO makes a big deal about SMP on x86 as being their pride and joy. No one, they say, could possibly prepare an 8 CPU SMP OS, unless thay had the power of UNIXâ behind them. SCO's focus on x86 implies that the infringing code is all over the place, and not confined to the ppc, ppc64 and 390 varieties.
Parent is correct, TV is in no way owed to anybody. If companies want TV to be universal to peddle their crap they can pay for it. Damn straight. It's high time that the TV stations started behaving responsibly, and sold some form of advertising, instead of sucking on the public teat. They might even contract a firm to survey the audience, so that the TV companies could charge more for time during popular shows, and less during shows of limited appeal. Hey, this sounds like it could really work. Parent poster, you're a genius!
I've heard that this is a misnomer. As it's difficult to recieve televison signals from inside a reinforced concrete structure, some jails will distribute over the air television signals via cable-- and some jails distribute educational programs and announcements through other channels.

The German branch of the SCO Group removed their website from the internet. According to Hans Bayer, Managing Director of SCO Group Gmbh, the measure is in response to the Preliminary Injunction issued on Friday. The Injunction prevents SCO from claiming Linux contains, or that Linux users could be liable for infringement upon, the Intellectual Property of SCO Group. SCO's internaitional site is still available via www.sco.com, or through 216.250.140.125, the IP addresss formerly associated with www.sco.de/www.caldera.d.

Well, if you didn't do what an Axis government wanted you to, you ended up dead.
Ah, yes, that was Adolf Eichmann's defense, wasn't it?
bloody hell...
The 21st amendment uses the word "repealed." Thus, it's a repeal, and not merely a "nullification." Now, on to more important things.
There's always Display Ghostscript. It probably has the potential to become as pretty as Quartz.

That's news to me, and I'm sure it was news to those legislators who drafted the 21st amendment. US Const. Amend. XXI, Sect. 1 states
A pretty direct refutation, wouldn't you say?Yes, real programmers use switch() statements.
Just to be pedantic, SUN was originally an ancronym for Stanford University Network.
