AFAIK, the World Series has been labeled such since way before baseball went beyond the US. The first official World Series was in 1903. So pretty much there is no one alive to blame for their "limited world view" when they so badly mislabeled the event. If the issue is so offensive I suggest you immediately begin a letter writing campaign to the MLB.
Cold War ended nearly two decades ago. I don't see the term "leader of the free world" in usage much anymore. It's nice to know that you are old enough to remember that though.
So now America is to blame for Hollywood's marketing campaign? Does it count that a lot of people in Hollywood come from a variety of countries?
So, if someone shortens the United States of America to America they should be burned at the stake for being insensitive? Strangely enough, when I talk about a region in the North and South American continents I address it by the country's name. So I talk about Canada or Brazil or Costa Rica or Mexico - not North or South America. And if I do talk about the continents themselves I usually distinguish via North or South. If I talk about both I use the proper plural the Americas. I really don't see how I've created a worldful of confusion with this nomenclature.
Btw, are Americans allowed to talk about other countries or does that deprive the rest of the world the pleasure of being able to mock us?
So basically a platoon's worth of terrorists have to reveal their position to hit a single tank allowing whatever support the tank has with it to then retaliate. That there is called a target rich enVIronment.
The Zeus is actually a solid-state laser developed by the Army to heat up mines, to be able to clear minefields at a distance. In fact, the Zeus was deployed to Afghanistan, and several hundred mines were cleared by the use of this tactical weapon. There is another one called the THEL, or the Tactical High Energy Laser, that was developed for the Army, and this laser had actually shot down Katyusha rockets in White Sands Missile Range, and after over 30 Katyusha rockets were shot down, they decided to see if they could also shoot down mortars and artillery shells, and they were successful on that.
It isn't an anti-rpg platform but it is in the realm of what could be encountered in a "Long War" scenerio (the mine issue is definitely present day thinking.) And once again some tool brings up the fallacy that if this wasn't being researched that other things would just magically become possible because people would be reassigned. Why yes, let's move the physicists on a high energy project and have them now work on a materials issue. Author also doesn't take into consideration that the pentagon has to consider scenerios involving China or better yet North Korea deploying ballistic missles. It also makes the assumption that if this is going through R&D that the desired anti-RPG platform is not going through R&D - another fallacy.

A real predator will usually wind up going after the sick due to the herd working religously on protecting the young. Since your attitude is abberant and hinders the propagation of the species I have no qualms about sacrificing you to your vampiric fantasy.
Oh good grief it does not. First off everything there refers to "the State" aka the government. Is the state issuing mandatory Goofy phones? No. Article 16 does not apply.
Article 15 talks about freedom of association. What? You're telling me I can't tell my kid I don't want him hanging around with Johnny because he gets in trouble all the time and his parents are never around to supervise him? I'm infringing on my kid's universal rights because I'm looking out for him? Puh-leeze.
Apples. Oranges. They're kind of the same but are mostly different. Your assertation is not applicable here.
That's right. Everyday, tgrigsby and I make sure we keep our kids in line - switch in hand. It's hard on the trees but nothing is too high a price to show my kids proper discipline. *rolls eyes*
I apologize. I forgot to renew my subscription for sarcasm tags and ran out. Paying for a new batch as we speak.
Also I forgot 5. Call Billy's mom and ask to speak with my son (Oh ALL RIGHT! I was chatting her up. Like you wouldn't:P) "What? He's not there?" Goto 3. This is AKA "OMG. Dad's going old school."
Back in the old days we just bought a cassette tape for a buck and copied the album off a friend. Nobody knew jack. When I was done with listening to Prince and wanted the new Metallica I would just *gasp* record over the tape and put a new label on it.
The difference today is the medium for trading is now on a much larger scale and it can be effectively monitored. So don't give me this bullcrap about back in the day. We felt just as entitled then as the kids do now.
Oh and I would be very careful about asserting what the founding fathers thought. There was quite a bit of disagreement among them. Would be pretty interesting to see what would have happened if Jefferson had had his way on the issue or what they would say about the current situation.
That's dumb in this case. All the RIAA had to do is up the fine and provide a reasonable payment schedule. They could have tripled the fine and spread out the repayment over 7-10 years. If it could be done, which I don't know as I've never been in this position, they could have allowed the student to get financing to defer the payment and charge interest on the settlement. All of a sudden $3K becomes $15K or some other hideous figure to haunt the person once they graduate and have the proverbial real job.
This way, the RIAA gets to claim larger settlements in their PR war and make it look like a bigger boogeyman. The money is peanuts to them anyway. The only thing that counts is spin. And *this* type of spin with having people leave MIT over trading songs will backfire on them. What's more important? Madonna having enough cash for another Kabbala junket or society having another scientist/engineer/educated worker? The person in question allegedly traded songs over the Internet in violation of copyright. They didn't get drunk and hit somebody crippling them for life. There is a matter of perspective here.
I'm betting people in general are going to go for another MIT grad. The RIAA has seriously lost their mind on this deal.
I'd argue that building up the US military has less to do with making war more likely than implementing short-sighted statesmanship. Osama got our money, as did Saddam, in Iran we backed the Shah and got villified by the new government. I'll let someone with more time comment about the follies the US has committed in Central America. Hey look the US removed the Taliban and now there is a govenrment in place willing to execute a man for converting to Christianity. Wow, great democracy built there. The US has proclaimed "war" on terrorism and just like the "war" on drugs it is unwinnable due to the simple fact that its goals are completely open ended. Bush has engaged two seperate countries, swiftly obtained effective control on each and currently is investing billions to attempt to rebuild them. In each case, the military action was not called a war. Yet, in the same breath, the administration maintains that its wiretapping policy is legal because the president has the right to utilize wartime powers in its effort to combat terrorism.
Now going back to your point. Not every increase to the military budget is going to be for weapons. Way back when I looked into enlisting there was an effort to improve base housing. Another big issue I'm hearing from my Dad is regarding medical benefits for vets. Are you saying the American people shouldn't want adequate housing for soldiers and their families? Are you saying they shouldn't want to provide adequate medical support for vets? No, I don't believe you are. But you are lumping reasonable costs into the issue.
Quite honestly I think you've really missed the mark in how you're applying the GPs comment. Keeping America strong hasn't actually made war more likely. If that was the case, the world would be a convered in a fine coating of glowing dust by now. Keeping America rich at the expense of others has made it more likely that we will use force to correct the side effects our policies have created.
And before every non-US reader of/. starts chiming in and using this as some starting point for the daily anti-US diatribe I'll say this. Work on your own plank and don't go assuming that everybody in the States is ignoring theirs. That's enough of this ramble but I had to say it.
Theo managed to use 85% of that $2.3M grant money and iirc there were questions of whether Smith should have been able to funnel it to a source outside the US to begin with.
There's spin and then there's spin. Amateur indeed.
I'd be interested in hearing from our neighbors up north if there is any way to get funding from the Canadian government to help develop OpenBSD and OpenSSH.
Honestly curious on how things work in other countries.
fwiw, been going over the documentation for 3Com's VoIP products and there are OpenBSD copyright notices on a couple of pages in the front. So add them to the list.
Go into the code. Find out who actually develops the software. Get their contact information and cut them a check/send them hardware/whatever they need to continue developing OpenSSH. Don't bitch if they send part of that money back to Theo and OpenBSD. Problem solved. Now you have no excuse. Let us all know how it goes.

Here's a different idea. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Defense-in-depth kids. Get used to it.
Wally? How come everytime we go to Larry's house mom and pop head straight to the bedroom?
Geez Beav, I don't know. But I bet Eddie might.
We have. Upon reconsideration we're increasing the voltage.
