Was it Aspin or Clinton. I know Aspin was one of Macnamara's boys so it wouldn't be too suprising if he had made the decision. But Clinton had a talent for pinning the blame on the dead guy (see google:McDougal,Jim and Foster,Vince [???dare I include Koresh,David????]
Good question. It would probably have meen more accurate to state is as "I am proud to simply be from the same country as these guys." It was meant to panegyrize them, not to laud myself.
So are you saying that 25 Pakistanis died fighting for Chevron? It was an international humanitarian effort. Check what you are eating, because you seem to be short a few brain cells.
I got chills in the begining when they showed the Delta Force guy undercover on the streets of Mogadishu. I thought "woah, that is one brave dude". But the courage and loyalty Shugart and Gordon display by droping down is so mindnumbingly heroic I had to rush home and find their pictures on on the Web just so I could see their faces. It because of men like them that we are able to live our lives the way we do.
Don't be fooled into thinking he's a linguistic genius. His claim to fame was that he rejected Skinners theory that language is simply the result of conditioning. He is no scientist. His whole schtick is about rejecting empricism and rationality. He has set Linguistics back 25 years.
Don't forget they got support from the pentagon in making this movie. And it's undeniable that one of the messages of the movie is that Washington bureaucrats shouldn't tell the military how to do their job. So keep that in mind. However the story is really about the bravery and loyalty of those men. Those Delta Force guys, especialy MSG Gary Ivan Gordon and SFC Randall Shughartwill make you proud to be an American.
The movie is actually pro-military and anti-war. This is probably a good thing. Pro-military in that it was supported by the pentagon, and delivers the message that wasahington politicians shouldn't tell the military how to do their job. It is anti-war because you see that war is hell. It is definatly a propaganda piece, but not obnocsiosly so.
AOL-Time-Warner is still run by Steve Case. Gerald Levin, the former CEO of Time-Warner, is on his way out, as are many of the TW people. Note: AOL bought TW, therefore AOL is in charge, not the other way around.
The point is that they will no longer be creating localized versions for the Asian market. In other words they won't bother translating into the various Asian languages.
Linux is @.24%. Not to mention that most alt.os.* users CAN open Word attachments. OpenOffice works fine for me. Word IS the standard. Word is an excellent package, and MS is a monopoly, therefore I don't think this is going to change anytime soon.
Your best bet is to support the alternative wordprocessor in whatever way you can.
Wow. So you can jerk around in User Manager, and you can properly calculate subnets 6 times out of 10. If you think that qualifies you to call yourself and Engineer you're quite confused. An engineer is someone who understands the fundementals and principles of the solution he is devising. Knowing what buttons to mash to properly sucure IIS does NOT make you qualified to handle any corporate firewall, it just makes you a monkey.
It's people like you that helped MS Websites get hacked and lose 1 million credit cards each year.
107 also permits copies for archival purposes. For some reason I think it's good practice to make a copy of the $500 app I just bought. Just because I get a scratch on my CD I shouldn't have to go buy another copy of the program.
Depending on the paticular market (or product) a monopoly may exists because average costs of production are declining beyond the level of output demanded in the market, thus making entry unprofitable and making it efficient for there to be a single firm. This perfectly describes the market for many computer products. Given that the laws of economics encourage a monopoly in this area, isn't government action futile?
I think there is a small, but large enough, market to make presenting this feasable. Hopefully ESPN2 will find a way to package it properly and get it on the air.
I was always under the impression that nobody "ultimately" owned the internet. If the U.S. government did, don't you think there would be a specific 'Federal Internet Tax?'
Been spending alot of time on Mars? The Congess has considered implementing a FIT, however they've decided that the net is still maturing and they've decided to wait.
Check out a simple google search Google: Internet tax moritorium and you can learn more.
Besides, where is the internet? It must have a physical location if the gov't owns it.
It sure does. Congress controls the IP addresses and the root nameservers. Check out ICANN
The internet exists wherever the root nameservers and IP address allocation are maintained. Since ICANN/IANA do this based on authority granted by Congess, I'd say that the internet is Americas.

Uh no they don't. That's why they're going out of biz.

An odd statement of fact coming from this crowd. So since linux is free it must not be that good.

A requirement for every windows desktop.
Isn't /. groupthink great? Signal 11 please come back.
So who cares

Alen you're stupid.
Why did it disappear?

Your joking right? Have you seen what $999 gets you on a Dell laptop? That $1499 Curusoe is equiv to about a 500Mhz Celeron.
Did you miss the ethics lecture on day one?
You do want to get a law license right?
lets not get carried away here.
