    Add an oxidant to that sugar and tell me it's stable.

    Chemistry is the Physics of electron-shell interactions.

    Uh, Ireland is in Europe you know.

    I wouldn't think that getting rid of ITAR would be a good thing. We had some great programs like MAD (mutually assured destruction) and the cold war because of the lack of ITAR after the second world war.
    What was wrong with MAD? Speaking as a European (aka "target") I thought it worked quite well.

    That right, a lot of the nuclear technology Russia has to get their designs working came from the US.
    But this is a-historical bullshit - the US wouldn't even share nuke technology with it's allies, never mind the russkies. The froggies & the brits had to develop their own bombs.

    Since KIA's have been given posthumous citizenship I'd say you're wrong there.

    Be by guest... You do need that 2.9 GB file somewhere on your PDA first. That just *might* be an issue.

    Sorry, don't get it - if your app "knows nothing of Unix permissions" how does it screw things up?

    You mean you run it with the wrong umask?

    Ah --atime-preserve=system - interesting.

    But your crontab thingy is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of!

    You need to look into tripwire or something like that.

    If the permissions on an important file are wrong you should be looking for intruders, not just hiding the problem with chmod.

    Christ, even klunky old SCO UnixWare will have a shitfit if the ctime on an "important" file changes.

    Yeah, but --atime-preserve updates the ctime!
