And neither do political activists. I'll have to give the benefit of the doubt to the people that were actually there instead of those looking to discredit a government for the selfish purposes.
I was in Kuwait in 1990 and 1991 during the Gulf War and saw firsthand the atrocities that Hussein caused. He deserved far worse than a movie and a hanging.
I have to agree with you on this one. As a runner, I simply cannot run in the gym for any extended periods of time. In fact, I tried to run 5 miles last night on the treadmill and my heart rate is elevated due to the heat in the gym. I was running about about 90% of my LTHR after only 2 miles; normally, I run at about 75% when I'm outside. I gave up at the 4th mile because I got sick of slowing down to keep my heart rate in check. I ended up running another 2 outdoors when I got home from the gym.
You'd think there would be some sort of international warning system for events like this but apparently there isn't. According to this article, U.S. scientists tried to reach contacts in the reach but since there is no warning system in place, they couldn't let anyone know what was happening.
Apparently, this new company has friends in the industry.

I can't respond to this with today's Army but I can tell you that for the most part, you are trusted and reminded to do the right thing. I was a communications specialist with the Army during the first gulf war and when we finally got in contact with an AT&T operator to allow calls back home over the radios we had, I had to remind the soldiers that any sensitive information they passed out could result in their death and that of their buddies due to us not knowing who was listening. Everyone seemed to heed that warning. The Army doesn't have a bunch of AOLers in their ranks.
I've seen some ATMs on or near college campuses that give out denoms in $5 increments. Granted they take $2.50 in fees but they'll give you want you want.
Very true. I recently paid a shitload of money for my bike because I just wanted a new bike (well, the fact that my wife said it was ok was a big factor as well). But my argument isn't about people buying what they want nor is it about style. It's about people who rely on technology so much that they forget the simple things such as looking at the engine instead of the machine. There are many people that believe they can buy their fitness by having the latest CF stem or frame.
To paraphrase an earlier post, the easiest way to get a lighter bike is to drop the weight yourself It's amazing how much easier it is to climb a hill when you're lighter. I should know, I dropped about 20 lbs in the first year I started riding and it helped quite a bit.
I know we're talking about the TDF and those guys are on a different plane of existence here but there's something I've got to say about some non-pro cyclists out there.
While I agree that the use of technology is important in cycling, there's only so much one can do without having to rely on natural talent and training. Spending $180 for a 13 cm piece of metal in order to save 50 grams, is a problem. I see it with the guys I ride with. They'll spend a shit load of cash on a Litespeed titanium bike or a Trek 5200 but will still mow down a pizza after a ride and not think about the fact that they can get over those hills a little faster if they weren't carrying a anchor on their gut.
My wife is a freelance photographer. On any given shoot, She'll go through at least 5 GB of pitcures and this is just for shots of homes that people are looking to sell. I followed her along on one of these this weekend and in about 15 minutes, she went through two 2 GB cards. This was just the interior of an empty 1500 sq. foot home. I couldn't believe it. She said it's much worse when she's shooting portraits. But like you said, there's never enough memory. This is especially true if you choose to shoot RAW images instead of JPEG or some other format.
In order to resolve this lack of space problem, she carries her laptop with her so she can clear the cards by dropping the pics on the laptop. It's a much cheaper (and safer in my opinion) solution than buying a single large card.

Remember in the First Gulf War, when they couldn't fly them because the sand damaged their engines? The Cobras flew in that, no problem.
I don't know about that one. I recall on at least two occasions where I saw Apaches blowing the hell out of "the Elite Republican Guard" while venturing deeper into Iraq with the 3rd AD.
It depends on the OS you use to ping. I'd guess that the parent is using Linux/FreeBSD/HP-UX/VMS to ping his local machine in order to get that output.
I run a 6000 user network in the healthcare industry. The first thing I had to do here was dispel the stupid myths such as open source software is insecure because so many people can change it. This was difficult because of the power of the Gartner Group and other orgs like them. In fact, the network manager was so Microsoftized, it took going over his head to the CIO in order to get people to start listening. That was quite a risky move but luckily it worked.
The second thing I did was set up parallel apps that mirrored the same thing the company was doing with their closed sourced systems (Windows). This included setting up squirrelmail to connect to the Exchange servers, setting up Linux-based SSH boxes (we had SSL-based FTP) and setting up a Snort box to rival the ISS IDS that was installed. Once they got a taste of how good (and cheap) the software was, management starting coming around. Another thing that helped was the software that I mirrored on Linux boxes were apps that we had been experiencing consistent problems on. The Outlook Web Access and the IDS servers kept crashing so that was easy. The more challenging one was the SSL-based Windows FTP server. I prevailed when I got our customers to start requesting SSH client access (a little comment every now and then doesn't hurt). Most of our customers were running a UNIX-based system so once they found out that we could possibly start using something native to their systems, they started requesting it through our sales reps. It also helps to get in good with your business partners' IS department.
I know this has been mentioned about a thousand times but if you're a sysadmin, do yourself a favor and block executables, scripts, or any other file type that can execute. If someone needs an executable to be sent in-bound, set up either an FTP server or a dummy account outside your company's mail system. I have a domain set up just for this purpose where only the admins have rights to the mail accounts. If someone needs a file, the employees just send a request to have an admin check the mailbox for a specific filename from a specific user. We'll even ask for file sizes just to make sure. While checking the mailbox might take about 3-5 minutes out of my day, this method saves me the many headaches of removing viruses all week.
As much as I'd love to continue this debate, I cannot due to the fact that you defend Hussein as though he's a victim and the United States is at fault for his actions. My conscious will not allow me to continue a discussion with someone who follows these lines of thinking. You have a paranoid delusions that's either driven by hate for America or hate for Bush.
In your eyes, Americans don't understand why the world hates them. Whether it's unilateralism or some other complaint, we're just evil and Bush, Rummy, Rice, Powell (now that he's gone along with the war in Iraq), Cheney, Ashcroft (I might agree with this one), and Ridge comprise of the seven heads of the serpent. In our eyes, we're doing the right thing and the rest of the world, except those willing to make sacrifices that result in the removal of a stain on this planet, wants to do everything it can to counter the US (see the creation of the EU). I hope you and your family will appreciate your safety tonight when you go to bed.
By the way, I thought about my previous post and I take back what I said about France. Their support to the colonies during the American Revolution grants tbem a second place showing for the defense of democracy.
My apologies to any French that might be reading this. Your country's leadership today is an embarrasment however.
Who's the brainwashed one? I saw evidence of rape with my own fucking eyes. It's real nice to be safe sitting there on the sidelines behind your monitor isn't it?
I won't argue the merits of who's worse. You bring up some pretty valid candidates so I'll happily concede that point to you. I'm basing my judgement upon what I have seen up close and personally. While I was lucky enough to not be around during the Holocaust, I have studied enough of it to recognize evil when I see it. Hussein's actions against his own people and neighbors warrant that comparison.
Can you please provide any evidence supporting your accusation that Bush and Hussein were "friends and partners in crime"? Or is it another wacked out conspiracy theory born out of hate for the President? I often hear this theory but have yet to see any concrete proof other than some lib foaming at the mouth. By the way, Michael Moore, Paul Krugman or Howard Dean's sayso does not constitute concrete proof. This reminds me so much of the Clinton haters who bring up Vince Foster to anyone that listens that I have no choice but to ignore this type of nonsensical rhetoric. Lemme guess, Bush had advance knowledge of 9-11 and didn't do anything because Haliburton had an opportunity to profit off of the rebuilding of the WTC as well as the value of their holdings in coffin companies would skyrocket right?
Maybe you should reassess your definition of democracy. The way I see it, the Kuwaitis, the Iranians, and most especially the Iraqis are free to live in peace now that Bush and the great men and women of the US military have arrested Hussein.
You mention GI rape in other countries. That's a bit of a low blow considering it's not the norm. These bastards in Okinawa and other areas that commit crimes against those they are assigned to protect should be punished to the fullest extent of that country's law when they are found to be guilty. Just remember that it's a very large military that we have deployed and the actions of a few deviants should not be the cause for an indictment against GIs around the world. A very large majority of those deployed truly care about helping the people they are assigned to protect. It's an all-volunteer military and those that don't want to be there are usually sent home.
As far as the Saudis go, they should be next in line for a liberation.

Agreed but I figured there would be some warning/communication system for extraordinary events, not just specific to tsunamis and earthquakes.
