    But are those so called respectable scientific /.ers that answer to posts 1:30 in the morning? What about their karma? I thought so. Man, they have no credibility.

    It would be like your government started a war based on wrong data. I wouldn't what I would if my government wasted trillions of dollar and thousands of lives like that. Disclaimer: I don't think I'm trolling but your mileage may vary :-)

    Recently there was a story in CNN (in spanish) about how there were no deaths in Cuba after one of the big of the last hurricanes because of prevention.

    "September was one of the deadliest months for U.S. troops in the 18-month-old war in Iraq, and the death toll for the first time has risen four straight months.

    At least 76 U.S. troops were killed this month, reflecting a steady increase in American deaths since the United States transferred sovereignty to the interim Iraqi government June 28, according to a count announced by the Pentagon."

    I just see Rumsfeld admiting that large areas of Iraq are out of control.
    I just see hundreds of Iraq people killed in bomb attacks each week, blaming USA on CNN for the lack of security.

    From the outside, what I see is that it doesn't matter. Allawi can't have any real power: doesn't have popular support and USA has the military power. With the attacks increasing the population claims for security will weak the government further.

    They could vote only if they are not violent.
    Given the number of recent attacks, if safe to say that the whole country is unsafe and going to civil war.

    Very funny. He lied to his country people, started a war, destroyed his country economy and is still first in polls. Who will care about this?

    Haven't used it directly but is likely. How much impact depends on what you are doing. I assume that for the purpose of scripting Java apps it shouldn't be noticeable.

    Jython is not a bridge in the java to native sense, if that is what you mean. It is an interpreter of the Python language fully made in Java.

  20. Re:Good show on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen yet Episode 2 (or 5 or whatever) Attack of the Clones. My Power of Preview told me it would a waste of money to go theatres or vhs. This month I finally may see it in cable.
    Some friends of my don't believe in my Power of Preview that allows me to critic a cliche movie without seeing it. Because of non believers I let that one pass.
    The Core was just for fun, and better all around than any of the others. At least they don't take too seriously on themselves.
    Stargate, just one cliche after another to me. Budies movie, good commandos without a clue frees a land of an alien tyrant. The people there are incapable of anything, they have to be led by the caucasian white guy, of course. And they end throwing flowers (or something like that) to the soldiers. Nothing to see here, keep moving.
    The series may get better, I just watched the first seasons.
    You're right with Star Trek. I'll keep with the original series and Next Generation.
    Don't remember too many more SF series right now. Someone post more sugestions.

  25. Re:Are people still using java? on Java 5 RC Available, Gold Targeted for this Month · · Score: 1

    Because Java is tried and trusty. Or perhaps portability. I use it for both. Unless you think Mono is a portable .Net -which is not- then .Net has no portability at all. And I didn't like some previous things in languages/platforms from MS, but some tools were good.
