This has nothing to do with Activision forcing id to do anything. The shareholders of Activision want to know when they can expect to start making some money off of D3 and Activision has to give them their best guess. Activision is guesstimating that D3 will be released next year.
We can let the Chinese waste billions of dollars to find out the soil composition on Mars and use American dollars on more usefull things such as chewing gum.
A lousy pilot crahed his fighter jet into a lumbering propeller driven plane over international waters. When the US plane crash landed in China the Chinese government wouldn't release them.
There really isn't much you can spin out of these basic facts.
Just to clarify, your (I say you be because you're Chinese in Shanghai:) ) fighter forced down our propeller driven reconnaissance plane over international waters. This could easily be interpreted as an act of war. After our plane crash landed in your territory, your government held and interrogated the pilots and crew. China should have appologized for the entire incident, offer to repair the plane, and sent the crew on its way. China was entirely at fault and however you interpreted Bush's behavior doesn't change this. It's sad that your pilot died, but he was in the faster more agile jet, slamming into our plane was his fault.

Iraq didn't have any SCUDs. Iraq fired HY2 (a modified HY1) Silkworm (US designation Seersucker) missiles at Kuwait. A much different beast. They have an effective range of 80 miles tops. A modified SS-1C Scud-B or Al-Hussein has a range of about 500 miles. A big difference.
Here's an AP story of the missile that hit the shopping mall in Kuwait.
U.S. officials speaking on the condition of anonymity said the attack on the mall appeared to have involved a Chinese-made Silkworm cruise missile launched from southern Iraq.
Note Iraq was never barred from possesing the Silkworms because of their limited range.
I challange you to find a story about a Scud being found in Iraq, it didn't happen. It's pretty obvious you really don't know what you're talking about. Try informinging yourself and come on back to/.
You read one Lovecraft story you've read 'em all.

A Good Summer Read?

Same with Poe. Last summer I read the complete works of Poe and two things stuck out. First is his prose. It is absolutely fantastic. People just don't give Poe credit for the quality of his writing. Unfortunately the second thing that sticks out is the redundancy. The guy really only had about 3 themes he worked over and over.
Lovecraft is much the same. Read Cthulu, be disappointed at the ending, ask "Is this it?" and move on. The rest of his stories are reformulations of the same.
Literaly. Even though one of the main characters is a fag, there is no excuse for the homoerotic overtones other than Stephenson's queerness. The thing reads like a Burroughs novel.
Go ahead, mod this down if it brought up confusing memories from your read of Crypto.
However if you're a fag yourself you'll probably love it.
No, really -- if you're going to make such serious claims about Woolsey, you should provide hard evidence. Otherwise, you're just blowing hot air.
The best ime was one of his many appearances on Hardball when he told Chris Matthews that Iraq had ICBMs. I fell out of my chair laughing for a good 20 minutes.
James Woolsey is who you are thinking of. Clinton ran him off for being too pushy.
While he was right on the Torricelli ammendment, be careful listening to him too closely. He was being paid by rich Iraqi exiles to whoop up war fervor and has made quite a few blunders on his own.
The grandeur of such an image almost forces one to reasses their place in the world. To think that the area in the photograph is equivalent to the area covered by a grain of sand at arms length is mindnumbing. The universe is unbelieveably amazing.

You bought shares in a company that tries to sell something you can get for free?

The Cold War. The Space Race was an international pissing contest, useful in it's time, but now an anachronism.
The subject was top intel system. try reading the article, or the parent comment.
The LLNL cluster is of 2.4 Xeons, these are 2.8's. Combine that with the 2000+ number and it very well may be the top.
Mozilla isn't under the GPL.
Network effects my ass. The only reason politics, ,the rural special interest has used every trick in the book.
Yes there is some benefit into adding a few farmers to the network, but is it worth billions of dollars? It's doubtful.
How many BeOS and AmigaDOS experts does the world need?
The analyst said the code was indentical with identical comments. Why would one have to be a programmer to identify that?

Anybody watching the episode saw it. If you missd it, your loss.
Don't forget Woolsey was also one of the loudest voices insisting Iraq had a massive WMD program, when in fact they didn't have a single lousy SCUD.
Of course he gets paid by the INC.
Don't believe if it makes you feel better.

Only a moron wouldn't think a comparison to a P4 would be useful.

10 posts a day, 6 minutes to scan the original article (which the staff rarely does) and check for dupes.
That's about 6 x 10 = 1 hour of work a day. And yet they won't even put out this minimal level of effort, but they want us to pay for it.
