You know, I've heard the "China and the US are too interdependent to go to war" theory a lot, and while on the whole I'd say you're probably right, there's this nagging doubt at the back of my mind. The exact same sort of hubris-filled sentiment was very common in the run up to World War I
In a dugout, somewhere on the western front:
Edmund: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent war in Europe, two superblocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side, and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way there could never be a war.
Baldrick: But this is a sort of a war, isn't it, sir?
Edmund: Yes, that's right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan.
Right. 50 years ago we were landing rovers on Mars.
No you weren't.
Fifty years ago was 1962.
The first extraterestrial rover was Lunkhod, landed on the moon by the USSR in 1970.
The first American rover was Sojourner, landed on Mars in 1997.
You didn't even have landers on Mars in 1962:
The first lander on Mars was the USSR's Mars 2, landed in 1973 (and dying after only one minute). The first American lander was Viking 1, landing in 1976.
The "advantage" is that you reward bad behaviour, ensuring that Sony keeps on producing closed devices.
Think about it - you want to use homebrew, so you give your money to someone who spends all their time attempting to stop you from doing it? Are you crazy?
Don't jailbreak - it's dumb. Buy gear that doesn't need it.
Too short of a duration of action. The purpose of using morphine as a replacement for OxyContin is because it's long acting, providing analgesia throughout the day. Diamorphine has a short, intense onset (which is why it's so addictive) and a similarly rapid cessation.
Interesting.
My mum said it was great stuff, but she was in hospital and could get a hit when she wanted by pressing the button.
Well if all they care about is cheap, why aren't they using morphine? Morphine is old as dirt so I seriously doubt there are patents for plain old morphine anymore,
Don't give money to people who don't want you to use their machines even if you find out a way of using them.
Don't buy anything where the process of "rooting" is not supported by the manufacturer.
Rewarding bad behaviour is not a good idea.
If you don't want root go ahead and buy it, but buying one of these locked down devices and rooting it by some hack is just not in your long term interest.
For that matter, until either the other side admits to losing the drone, or Iran coughs it up to a recognized 3rd party, like the UN for example, it's just propaganda on Irans part.
ISAF have already admitted the loss of a drone. Doesn't prove that Iran shot it down of course.
This is just semantics. That's the problem with liberals, you think too much, and you end up with all those subcategories.
I'm not a liberal.
I'm a socialist.
Jack Bauer, like all Americans, is a wimp. He's never met a terrorist he wouldn't buckle under to. He only wins because he has the scriptwriters on his side. Unfortunately for the real America the scriptwriter is not on your side.

Yes, I get it now. Do you have any memers of the family Corvidae I could masticate?
Whoosh
My face is red.
The Chinese civilization, on the other hand, as started a total of... hmm. 0 wars?
Tibet, 1950.
India 1962,
Vietnam, 1979.
Seems to add up to more than zero to me.

Just as with the shoe bomber, both attacks were thwarted not by the TSA,
Well, of course not. Neither flight originated in the US so the TSA had nothing to do with it.
With an enormous effort a crappy language can be made to run very slowly instead of incredibly slowly.

It's difficult to overstate the irony here.
platform specific Java software.
Zow.
You know how much shit we went through to avoid this kind of situation with Fortran/Cobol/Algol back in the 70's and 80's?
Pah, Chuck Norris is a wimp.

Why not use diamorphine?

Would have been harder to do at home I suppose.
Is the world opium shortage over?
Why not use diamorphine?
I loathed and despised Hitchens.
But, on his behalf,
Fuck of and die you piece of shit.
Because he was neither a gentleman nor a scholar.
Mieux que le "Jacques Chirac".
Mais le seconde porte avion - le "Francois Mitterand"?
What part of "no chroot" do you not understand?
How many current printers on network don't understand PostScript?
Most inkjets?

We found that using lawyers or bankers gave results that didn't match the human population.
Rats however gave comparable results.
Indeed most of the technical hacks(like the discovery of taliban troops with tv's capable of receiving drone transmissions are done by iranians.
Got a source for the Iranians working with the Taliban, their hated enemy?

to do the wiring part so that the tech people have time to do the tech work.
Technical writers to do the wiring. Aha! That explains the electrical problems I've been having.
Iran is not an arab country.
