Yipeee! Here come the fruitcakes. Well, I suppose the topic is IQ decrease.
It is commonly believed that the Salk vaccine was responsible for halting the polio epidemics that plagued American children in the 1940s and 1950s. If so, why did the epidemics also end in Europe, where polio vaccine was not so extensively used?
In what strange parallel universe was polio vaccine not used in Europe?
After looking at the SRB's Feynman decided to poke around the other subsystems and see if what had happened with the SRB's was a one-off.
For the SSME's he found more or less the same problem - unexpected things were happenning but the shuttle hadn't blown up yet so the unexpected was being redefined as the expected.
One of the last sentences in his appendix to the report is (paraphrased) "we didn't have time to look into the airframe".
CRS - Corps Republican de Securite = riot cops. With big sticks, gas launchers, gas masks and helments.
Actualy behaved pretty well during the riots, (ignoring the little incident where they launched CS gas grenades into a mosque during prayers). Most of the trouble was caused by the cowboys in the "brigade anti-criminalite", driving around the suburbs in unmarked cars shooting rubber bullets at anyone they saw.
(French joke - when the iman & congregation showed the the CS gas grenades that the CRS had fired into the mosque the minister of the interior (Nicholas Sarkozy) said "well, its the same model that our guys are issued with, but I can't be sure it was one of them that launched it". Riposte by youth: "Well, the bricks that were thrown at the police were the same kind we have, but I can't be sure it was us that threw them").
Actualy the rioters were mostly focussed on having a good time - setting fire to cars and chucking bricks at the thugs of the "brigade anti-criminalite".
The riots stopped when it got too cold outside.
Why yes, I do live in the Paris Suburbs. (One bus & one sports hall burned in my commune).
(The funniest moment of the riots was when we were leaving the annual Pig fair with our kids and we found 30 CRS hanging around the bus stop. Very appropriate).
(Of the two reported deaths, one was nothing to do with the riots - a guy was beaten to death for his fancy digital camera around the time of the riots, but it happened during the day and all the riots were at night.)
Yes the Gendarmerie polices the French countryside.
But it is also the same thing as the US/UK "Military police". It is the Gendarmerie that investigates crimes by the military, it's the Gendarmerie that shoots the soldiers that refuse to leave the trenches.
That's wierd: "not fit for external operations". More wikipedia nonsense. Almost every overseas operation has some (often lots) of Gendarmerie around. They're exactly what you want on any kind of peacekeeping operation.
France: Hey, could you bomb these commies for us. US: No, you fithy imperialist scum. France: Eurgh, lose Dien Bien Phu, quit Indochina. US: Ooops, the commies are pushing the dominoes over! US: Begin major combat. Lose. Quit Viet-Nam.
A little bit of help back then would have saved you a world of hurt.
The downside to the Dutch system is that we have a fairly large number (currently eleven) of parties in parliament, including the far left, the far right, orthodox Christians, ecologists, populists and plain idiots.
Vote Idiot - you know it makes no sense.
Vote Idiot - for someone who can represent the real you.
Vote Idiot - the majority can be wrong, but they don't care.
Vote Idiot - a vote for intelligence is a wasted vote.
Vote Idiot - you know we'll win and you don't want to be on the losing side.
I don't know what percentage of active switches do IPv6, but many of the older switches will start broadcasting the IPv6 because they don't understand it. Now your switch is a hub. That will choke any network that needed switches in the first place. Even a single switch that doesn't do IPv6 could take out a large chunk of your network.
Huh? Switches don't do IP, they switch packets based on the MAC address. They'll work with IPv6 just like they did before.

Turn all the lights off and draw the curtains.
Flamebait? Just about the funniest thing written on /. in the since it's creation and the imbecile moderators give it flamebait.
Fucking losers.
Fuck no, you've got the fascist little shit, you keep him.
Rubish. Any well run comprehensive school has streamed classes.
So, you're an Osmond family fan eh?
In what strange parallel universe was polio vaccine not used in Europe?
Ah yes, Japan, where everything is done well.
Don't know much about the Japanese nuclear power industry, do you?

Where did you pull this bizzare doctrine from?

You think we're downsizing planes?
Just wait 'till Chirac turns up in his nice new presidential A380. "Hey is that Airforce One? What a cute little plain that 747 was".
A380 - When a SUV gets too cramped.

Well, yes it did.
How many dead in the French riots?
Wont.
Well, yes and no.

Uh, SE have a few phones (P800, P910, P990) that run Symbian.
What do they have that runs WinCE?
Fucking Americans are so proud of their power that they imagine no one else can do the bad shit.

IPv6 fans want to replace the "mess" of the current IPv4 routing table by a nice heirarchical structure.
Well, fuck that.
I'm not a LIR.
/24, an AS, I'm multihomed, I'm happy.
I'm not even an ISP.
I have a provider independant IPv4
You want me to give that up when I move to IPv6.
Why? 'Cos CISCO sell the most expensive RAM in the world?
Think of a better plan.
