Theses rabbits are specially bred over many generations for maximum size eating high quality feeds and I have doubts about their suitability for the Koreans. A better Idea would have been to find out what exactly the Koreans have to feed the rabbits and then breed a strain that an efficient meat producer on those feeds. Doing this properly would mean actually traveling to Korea and talking to the farmers and looking arround to sepparate reality from government delusions. Bigger doesn't always mean more efficient.
"I'm not increasing production and I'm not taking any more orders after this. They cost a lot to feed,"
OK if North Korea could afford to feed the rabbits, it seems likely they could afford to feed the people
if the North Koreans find enough food to feed them properly. "I feed them everything -- grain, carrots, a lot of vegetables. At the moment they're getting kale," said Szmolinsky.
Boy that sounds like people food to me, if I were breeding food rabbits they'd be bred for max production eating things like hay, alfalfa, clover and maybe throw in some field corn and soybeans on occassion; but that's not what's going to happen here, they are going to starve people to free up food for rabbits to feed the starving people, pathetic.
The logic is you can get stupid with conversion precision and convince most people that changing is too complicated to bother with, when for 99.5% of the time conversion is trivial. Somebody askes how far is it and you know its about a mile and they're metric you'd say about a klick and a half, not 1.62 kilometers. For what people do everyday 500 gm is the same as a pound of hamburger, a coffee scoop is 30 mL is an ounce, a TBSP is 15 mL a TSP is 5 and your not going to get pulled over for going 110KM/Hr in a 65 MPH zone. How many people know how many minums is in a quart or how long a span is if we taught the Avoirdupois system that way people would be begging to go metric
Thats interesting because in the state of New York as I understand it, due to a equal rights thing it's equally legal for women and men to appear in public bare chested; so it's entirely possible for a TV team to film a bare chested womwn engaged in a perfectly legal newsworthy activity, and not be able to broadcast it to the public.
Normally a measurement systems popularity is proportional to it's ease of use, for example look at the Egyptian system of measure in base 60; it's devisable by 12 numbers and thereby avoiding those pesky irrationals that make doing math in your head rather difficult. I will admit that radians have a certain elegance, that's why the military came up with a where they have rounded off the milli-radian to 6400, it introduces a bit of error but it's still close enough for government work; it's not like your selling milk to 5 decimal places.
Not so, Windows update runs automatically, at a specified time and is able to run at a privilege level high enough to do what it is supposed to do; unlike McAfee which need admin privileges to operate properly but auto-starts at the user's privileges.
First I think you should be flogged in public for thinking that a McAfee subscription from comcast is a nice touch because it can't update when you're running as a normal user and running with admin privileges is irresponsible I un-installed it in frustration of trying to run a security product securely; now I just use some brains and run clamwin occassionally. OBTW my comcast uses standard ports for smtp and pop.
I've often wondered why microsoft didn't post checksums of their files and allow ftp retrieval of system files that didn't check properly, sort of like an intrusion detection system.
I think it goes even deeper than that, many of the open ports are to keep things "user friendly" by enabling auto-discovery of other computers on the network for easier resource sharing and legacy support, still it would make things more likely to be reasonably secure if internet routeable were blocked out of the box.
RunAs is a poor substitute for sudo, a big problem with it is this scenario:
user goes to website,
browser tell user about missing plugin
user downloads missing plugin and save to desktop
user rt.clicks installer -> RunAs -> Admin
user gets error message "user Admin has insufficient privileges to open file"
user says fuck this, runs as Admin and gets pwned
yup that's right in windows Admin isn't trusted enough to look at a users files, so next time the user tries to get tricky:
user goes to website,
browser tell user about missing plugin
user downloads missing plugin and save to a shared folder
user rt.clicks installer -> RunAs -> Admin
user gets error message "user Admin has insufficient privileges to open file"
user says fuck this, runs as Admin and gets pwned
user contacts freindly neighborhood computer geek who's used Linux since 1995 to figure out how to install simple plugins W/O running as Admin. Of course I scoured the windows knowlegebase without results, google without results, I've asked every windows admin type who sounded like he knew his ass from a hole in the ground with out results. Eventually by pure trial and error I discover that:
user goes to website,
browser tell user about missing plugin
user downloads missing plugin and save to desktop
user copies missing plugin from desktop to a shared folder
user rt.clicks installer -> RunAs -> Admin
Botta-boom, botta-bing the thing installs!
Now if I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows 3.1/Dos 6.22 and it took me 3 frigging years to figure out how to install a plugin in Windows XP-SP2 without dropping reasonable security, what chance does the average windows noob stand to avoid being pwnd?
Sounds good in theory, but update uses activeX and that don't run in firefox so linking IE to firefox means the windosers wouldn't be able to update to coreect vulnerabilities.
There was no climatologists in the 1970's, at least not like the climatologists are pretending to be today, climatologists then were basically geographers and historians , they would use scientific techniques but not scientific method, the bottom line is how does you conduct a controlled experiment on a planetary scale covering several centuries? There will always be problems with computer models, round-off errors, sparse data-sets in models sensitively dependent on initial conditions, and of course the problems found in nonlinear feedback systems. Computer models are fine to give insights to be investigated later with formal experiments, but they don't replace experiments.
The weather around here has certainly been disconcerting, I'm in South Eastern Michigan, it's raining in January which isn't unusual, but what is unusual is I'm seeing Earthworms! That means the ground is unfrozen which is very strange this time of year. Even so this is weather not climate, climate is averages over decades, centuries and millenniums.
The truth is that for 100 soldiers unavailable for duty during any war, 75 of them are out because of illness, keeping people fit and healthy is serious business for any military organization. It's easy to see the death and destruction during a war, unlike durring times of peace, yet often a country's death rates go down durring a war, right now a man 18- 27 years old is more likely to be shot in Washington DC than he is in Bagdad.
Most health insurance's Rx plans don't cover over-the-counter treatments, which is what most cold meds are, so the real choice is get a $100.00 vaccine and pay a $25.00 Co-Pay for it every year or pay $40.00 in over-the-counter every year.
Wait until they find out that it also keeps men from getting anal cancer, the tele-evangelists may change their minds. It may also prove popular with Alter-boys.
Keep the well reasoned arguments in the sections unless they align with slash-think, then they can go in articles that make the main page index. The political slash-think on the main-page articles is very different than in the sections that don't make main page
Does anyone know of a level editer for the doom2/PrBoom engine that runs in linux? I want to make a game mod where a naked woman, Eve, runs around a garden whacking snakes with an apple branch in the first level and finishes the game by fighting through pedophile priest to eventually vanquish a homosexual televangelist who has a taste for hookers while calling fagots "an abonmination before the Lord" in last level.
I thought Steve Balmer was CEO of Microsoft, yeah you know the guy that does the monkey dance and kicks chairs across the stage, yup he's the guys to stop these violent video games!
In Michigan, if the clerk askes for ID durring an alcohol purchase and the purchaser doesn't produce the requested valid ID, and the clerk still sells, the clerk is liable for a $5,000.00 fine irregardless of how old the purchaser is.
I wouldn't judge a program flakey because of ambiguous problems on a 700MHz computer that should have been scrapped out, I suppose it would have been cheaper to get a new machine than to troubleshoot that dinosaur

ten fingers would be able to count to 2^10 -1, but (2^12 -1)/3 is 1,365 so yes that would help a lot
well let's see one second is approximately 4.848136811 * 10^-6, i think I'd rather write +- 1' myself

Even now FreeDoom only look a bit pixelated when running at 640x480

Ever consider why women not only can have, but desire multiple orgasms, and men only have one, roll over and fall asleep?
