This is not an "October Surprise"; as some have said the verdict was a forgone conclusion. Once again, our government does the wash, rinse, repeat method of screwing other countries:
Wash our hands of the previous "US friendly" nut job, Rinse away the human rights of the people in said country, Repeat the same mistake by installing another nut job by force using the CIA and/or US military.
Saddam Hussein is not the only one to blame for what happened to the 148 Iraqis; American hands are dirty as well.
What we need is the equivelent of the "Prime Directive" in our foreign policy.
shove away from SuSE. Looks like it's time to complete my switch to Ubuntu.
It makes my head hurt to think of the number of ways Microsoft can screw over the Linux community by including code in a distro and later claiming it's proprietary.
If people are afraid of their kids falling down, then why do they bother to teach them how to walk? After all, falling is part of learning to walk and learning to persevere.
It's amazing that some people are so risk-adverse that they try to protect their kids from everything.

Wouldn't using this vest be like giving yourself a hug? Wouldn't that be like trying to tickle yourself? (Note you can't; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickling)
Look, when our ancestors were exploring the seas and new continents, they found a whole new assortment of ways to die. They lost quite a few ships (and the crew). Space exploration is very much the same. If we want to go back to the moon, to Mars and beyond, we have to face the facts that people WILL die in the attempt. Spacecraft will leak atmosphere, power will go out, airlocks will fail, space debris will hit and kill someone or total a CEV. Exploration of the depths of the ocean and the vacuum of space will be for the people who are willing to risk their lives in the attempt.
To quote Highlander, "It's better to burn out than fade away!"
I, for one, will be working on our return to the moon:-)
Now they are talking about using a "aerodynamic shell", with an engine to adjust trajectory, to send satellites into space. Did anyone else notice that the nose of the shell is tungsten?
The question is whom is saying the game will only take 40 hours to complete: a complete neophyte at the game or a play/beta tester that has run through the game several times?
Do you go to other peoples homes and shit in their pool?
How do you think they'd feel about that?
That's what American policy has been for the last 50+ years: the politicians send the military into someone elses country and mess it up.
The people in these countries get to clean up the mess just like the people with the pool. Neither of them like having to clean up someone elses mess. Especially if that mess includes their friends and family getting killed.
Perhaps you should try looking at the situation from their side. Would you like to have another country send their troops over here and mess up our country?
And, before you start babbling about having the greatest military and no one can beat us (blah, blah, blah), consider this:
According to the US Census Bureau, there are currently 299,802,372 people in the USA.
According to the US Census Bureau, there are currently 6,545,753,312 people on Earth.
That means there are 6,245,950,940 people who are NOT Americans.
To make it a little more personal, that means there could one day be ~21 people gunning for YOU if we keep shitting in their pool.
So, in order to compensate for the CO2 we're spewing into the atmosphere we should now spew sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as well? Sounds like we're trying to make our planet look and smell like we're living in hell. Besides, what is sulfur dioxide going to do to our lungs?
A great number of people in this world have an opinion on any subject you ask them about even if they have never heard of it before. Logic and common sense are not a prevelent as they should be.
Look, bantering back and forth that both the Democrats and Republicans have fixed elections is pointless. If we, as Americans, aren't will to vote for someone other than the two major political parties then we deserve what we get. If we, as Americans, condone election fraud/fixing by overt actions or our inaction by doing nothing to fix the problem then we are guilty of aiding and abetting a federal crime.
Until we stand up to our "elected" officials and force them to play by the rules, we'll all continue getting screwed.

are a blast!
So I've heard.
Hello, Kettle? This is Pot; you're black.
I don't think it's a good idea to ban abortions, but why did 9 people make that decision for the entire country, when it's clearly a state issue?
Abortion is NOT a state or national issue; it is a PERSONAL and MEDICAL issue.
Will their chips turn blue when the console crashes?

Actually, I'd bet cancer cells play the Imperial March from Star Wars.
Plus Darth Vader breathing noises.

Don't you mean "going down the tubes "?

Instead of a 12.5% VAT, shouldn't it be only 6.25% since it's "light" energy?

Once upon a time, the Air Force came up with an idea to have satellites carrying tungsten rods that could be launched to strike ground targets (see: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Artic les/000/000/005/700oklkt.asp).
Now they are talking about using a "aerodynamic shell", with an engine to adjust trajectory, to send satellites into space. Did anyone else notice that the nose of the shell is tungsten?
Sounds like a cover story to me.
So what's the #xxxxxx code for pink or do we just use 'pink' ( which is kinda dark ).

Meet a girl? (Strike that; he's a physics and math guy)
Eat?
Sleep?
Shower?
Shave?
Go to the bathroom?
Breathe?
Actually, I keep a pile of airsickness bags on my desk for just such idiocy by our government.

The subject or their opinion?
A great number of people in this world have an opinion on any subject you ask them about even if they have never heard of it before. Logic and common sense are not a prevelent as they should be.

Do the robots fight over vi vs. emacs? KDE vs. Gnome? Redhat vs. SuSE vs. Debian vs. Slackware vs. Ubuntu?
I like your idea.
I'd recommend charging more for crotch-shots especially with the heat ray-gun.
I think the new term would be "phucking" as that is what happens to the company and the customer.
I don't know if this is a good idea; it bugs me for some reason.
