while Grind refers to a download of Valgrind, a tool for developers to locate memory management. It is a download which chews up less than 1 megabyte of memory.
Now if they used valgrind on that download application, they could get rid of that memory leak of (less than) one megabyte.
UN is useless if it is powerless against powerful agressors
That's mostly a problem of the participating countries which do not want to solve it.
It's quite pointless when you are not solving the bigger problems
The UN is helping in this. But you expect it to happen overnight. That's not going to happen.
Education and medication is a first step in helping people. Once people understand what is going on in their world, they will take care of their dictatorship-based governments themselves.
It is not that Europe (not to hassle Europe, it's the continent I have most historical information about) has always been peaceful. Think about the Roman Empire which stretched from left to right. Think about the Spanish Empire which stretched from bottom to top. Think about the L'Empire Napoleonien, which stretched from left to right. And think about the Deutscher Reich which stretched from left to right. They all existed, and they all dissolved when it was their time.
That is what rulers, governments and empires do: they come and go. Sometimes you can do something about it (think about Greater Iraq which existed for about six months), sometimes you can't do anything about it (think about the fourty years for before 1993 in Eastern-Europe).
The UN is a global organisation which can survive empires, which can survive governments and which can survive empires because they are not one. As long as the participating countries want it, it can exist.
Before too many people start saying "the UN is powerless", please think what the UN actually is.
The UN is a place to discuss problems between countries, to discuss world-wide problems. It is a place to organise solutions with regarding to global problems. It is an umbrella under which people can operate without having to worry from which country they are coming.
The UN consist of, included but not limited to, the Security Counsel, UNICEF (childrens fund) and the UNHCR (refugees). Don't judge the whole UN by the (in)capabilities of one section.
The UN itself doesn't have much power, they have as much power as the contributing countries give them. If the world cries "UN, help them!", but the countries don't give men and material, the UN can't help.
The UN is a place to resolve problems if everybody wants to resolve them, it is not a power which can resolve problems on its own.
With S/Mime you don't check the envelope, only the message body and the sender. I don't care if mail has spam, as long as it doesn't have *MY* address as the sender-address.
PGP is to ensure that the contents of the email are un-altered and that the contents of the email can be authenticated.
Sender ID is to ensure that the envelope of the email (this is not the message body, but the envelope) is coming from a server of which where the owners of the domain say "this is our outbound mail gateway".
Envelope - Message header - Message body. Three different things.
The specfic protective measures on the shuttles (and other return-to-earth vehicles) are to overcome the problems with regarding the heat when returning to earth and to make sure that the vehicle doesn't explode due to lack of outside pressure. It doesn't have any specific protection against tiles from buildings being blown against it, from SAMs being shot against it etc.
It's like complaining to Ford that your car got wrecked because a tree fell on it. Cars don't provide protective measures against falling trees. Period.
The closer to the equator you are, the less additional power you need for taking off (don't get me wrong, you still need a huge amount).
That is why ESA launches from French Guinea[sp] instead of the UK mainland and the USSR launched from Kazachstan[sp] instead of Russia itself.
You can see the effect the speed has on you when you're on a merry-go-round. When standing on the edges you are pushed off of it by the centrifugal forces, but when you're standing near the center you don't have to worry about it.

Longhorn is going to include some exciting new technologies such as Avalon, WinFS, Indigo, and most importantly their new Monad (you really must research this, as it could do for Longhorn what BASIC did for Microsoft's first operating systems). While these are just codenames for abstract ideas (and possibly just buzzwords) it will certainly be exciting to see some of these things deployed.
It would be more informational if you actually explained what the ideas behind these buzzwords were.
It's the biggest scam of all: the media keeps asking "when will the election be", the PM dodges all questions, his party knows *EXACTLY* when the elections are but the other parties don't (talk about a fair system!) and the real issues aren't talked about because the only question reporters ask is "when will you call the elections.".
Vote the Greens #1: 2.3 propose fixed terms of Parliament with fixed election dates
The most beautiful part of it is still the bright line going through Egypt where the Nile river is.
The lines going through eastern Russia (most likely not Russia anymore, but I'm not up to date with the current *stans there), are they based on roads or railroads?
It's amazing how something like the method of gluing on insulation tiles can cause a shuttle to blow up, yet for all the serious damage done to Apollo 13 they still managed to get back alive.
The shuttle managed to do its whole program, until it went back into the atmosphere, as if there was nothing wrong.
The Apollo 13 managed to fly to the moon and back, with a lot of luck and despite all the odds.
The shuttle was damaged into the heatshield.
The Apollo 13 was not damaged in the re-entry capsule.
Draw your own conclusions about who was successful and who was lucky.

my wife came to me yesterday and said that she had heard a story on the TV in the gym about some guy's toliet exploding.
Now that's what I call news I can go without knowing unless it was happening in my neighbourhood.
