WMD: They had them. They were to provide proof they destroyed them. They did not. They had them: yes. But Bush didn't let the UN experts end their mission. Bush wanted the war at any cost. It wasn't risk assessment.
I find it difficult to be upset that the US is attempting to mandate a long-lasting set of basic human rights and democracy in Iraq.
Sorry but I disagree. Bush administration is doing nothing for human rights and democracy. If it would, prisoners would be given rights. Democracy only for your friends isn't what Iraqis (or anyone) want for themselves. I don't think I'm pessimistic, I just think Bush administration fouled up so badly there is small chance to any trust to ocupation forces. I didn't change my point of view in the last year and it seems that I wasn't wrong.
WMD: not even one was found after more a year of full ocupation. Security: Iraq is now a lot more insecure than a year ago, begining limited rebelion againts the coalition. For extension the region is more insecure. Al Qaida is having a fest on the errors and stupid arrogance of ocupation forces. Saddam Hussein: previous partner of USA, fallen in disgrace after trying to conquer his neighboard oil provider. For some strange reason Iraqis seems to want their own government, in their own terms.
The problem is that for all effects USA already lost the chance, and is very unlikely that anything changes now. For me it was self-evident a year ago this wouldn't work. That's why people don't believe in your self-evident arguments that where put aside by reality.
You are right but I wanted to point that who make ordered this is as responsible (or more) than the one executing it. In my country things like happened a lot (without photos) with the military dictatorship and later soldiers pretended just followed orders, and the commanders just denied there where orders (I'm simplifying).
They are prisoners with no rights, with no attorney, no visits, in some cases no accusation and it seems tortured. Do you think someone actually ask what they want?
Robert Fisk has been reporting for some time what seems to me the real Iraq situation and not the mild crap we get at CNN or the total surreal BS from the Pentagon. Most people can't see reality in written form, until shown a picture.
I'm just reading an article where soldier Sabrina D. Harman says that the order was to make the prisoners live in hell. The level of hell was commanded by CIA officers or contractors. Just Google news for her. Bush government is trying to pass its interrogation policies as caused by a few bad soldiers.
Great! but... is GPL'd? because if it is it will turn all code linked to it into genocide mode... Another question: is free (as in beer) or I have to do a military push and take it by force?
As Jakarta is part of Apache all of its projects must use Apache licence, which basically let you use the code anyway you want and don't "infect" your code.

The 2.0 version of the Apache License was approved by the ASF in 2004. The goals of this license revision have been to reduce the number of frequently asked questions, to allow the license to be reusable without modification by any project (including non-ASF projects), to allow the license to be included by reference instead of listed in every file, to clarify the license on submission of contributions, to require a patent license on contributions that necessarily infringe the contributor's own patents, and to move comments regarding Apache and other inherited attribution notices to a location outside the license terms (the NOTICE file).
The result is a license that is supposed to be compatible with other open source licenses while remaining true to the original goals of the Apache Group and supportive of collaborative development across both nonprofit and commercial organizations. The Apache Software Foundation is still trying to determine if this version of the Apache License is compatible with the GPL.
All packages produced by the ASF are implicitly licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, unless otherwise explicitly stated. More developer documentation on how to apply the Apache License to your work can be found in Applying the Apache License, Version 2.0.

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-1.1
The 1.1 version of the Apache License was approved by the ASF in 2000. The primary change from the 1.0 license is in the 'advertising clause' (section 3 of the 1.0 license); derived products are no longer required to include attribution in their advertising materials, but only in their documentation.
Individual packages licensed under the 1.1 version may use different wording due to varying requirements for attribution or mark identification, but the binding terms were all the same.

This is the original Apache License which applies only to older versions of Apache packages (such as version 1.2 of the Web server).
Interesting. Can you share a definition of both cases? I meant to include the symptons of 'shrodinbug' but my wording wasn't good. Anyway these bugs are surely caused by the little dwarfs inside the CPU that are inconstant in their job.
Sometimes something goes wrong at random times in conditions that we are unable to reproduce, without any kind of runtime error nor message, and without remote access to the machine. Oh and the user is so fuzzy that is no help of course. Those are the truly hard to find bugs.

When the Iraqis got so pissed of they want to make war on every American they see and you wonder why?
I read a different version: the shot was true but the watch was a proof of pillaging so it has to go.

Funny you say that, is just what they are saying. On second thought, is not funny.

I use printf() instead of print statements.
A Real Programmer wouldn't waste two chars for one number, and not even one if already knows the number.

My sorting algorithm is O(1). It's only constraint is that it requires an ordered array as the input.
