Civilians are people. Solders are people. How exactly is it any less murder either way? Self-defense? Many of the civilians are working in factories to produce weapons for the combatants, you can you use the self defense argument in support their destruction as well. Some are working in textile, grain, and other factories: in a war economy that is just done so that other resources can be spent on weapons, if you bomb a "civilian-type" factory the powers in charge will take some people off of weapons to compensate and restore a balance--either way you have less weapons being made and you can still use that "sel-defense" argument.
We create these elaborate rules for war, punish people for war crimes, etc., but does that really make war tolerable? I mean really, if I shoot you with an illegal fragmenting bullet I am Satan while when I use a nice happytime bullet (fully legal full metal jacket of course) I am Jesus? It is a bullet; it is being used to kill a person; it isn't humane no matter what rules we attach to it.
What about when new hardware comes out that isn't supported on that bootable disc (not to mention all the current hardware that isn't supported)? A game for Windows doesn't have this problem.
It isn't always about numbers with people. If take all the money we are spending on "homeland security" today and instead spend it on say the drunk driving problem we would have less casualties (and there are other things it could be better spent on, "by the numbers"). But drunk driving fatalies are spread out all over the place, there isn't some spectacular event every year where all the drunk drivers gather with their would be non-drunk victims and have a massive destruction derby of death.
If the US had held the blockade and waited on surrender perhaps, in the minds of the people, the blood wouldn't be on our hands but rather on the non-surrendering authorities--but there would still be more blood. I think we probably made the right choice, but admittedly I haven't made any sort of detailed study into the numbers. There have been legions of people who hate their dad because their dad killed their rabies infested dog with a bullet. Had the father cared for the dog over the months as it writhed and suffered perhaps these people wouldn't hold that hatred, but these people hopefully eventually grow up and realize that the correct choice was made--either way the dad wasn't the reason the dog died, the rabies was.
Civilians? Why is it that everyone on both sides of the war/antiwar camp's big issue is always civilians? It isn't like they aren't connected to the soldiers out there fighting the war--they provide support and an economy for them. So, what, soldiers are disposable robots and if war's effect could be limited to only encompass their demise all of the world's problems would go away? The evils of war aren't solely composed of the deaths and injuries of civilians; they include the deaths and injuries of people just as well.
The fact that you only found one article that was on Slashdot and not on Fark is telling. Fark posts about everything it can. Slashdot is more selective; while I have my complaints I still like the selection here. To me that is more important than staying current.
Oh damn, so any time a story is posted on Fark it should be held off of slashdot? Like when September 11th happened slashdot should have been all like, "whoa, Fark beat us to it, I guess our users won't get a chance to discuss this major event." If it is an interesting story, Slashdot should be able to post it without assuming everyone here reads fark simultaneously.
This is Slashdot; it was a made up story. That or he went ahead and unplugged the loop that went to her phone each time she took her phone off the hook.
Protectionist trade laws happen because when 99.9% of the population slightly benefits from say, free trade on sugar they don't make noise about it in appreciation; at the same time.1% of the population (corn farmers) make a hell of a lot of noise. If people could just see that noise for what it is--"I want society to suffer so I can benefit, wah wah wah boo hoo"--it might not be a problem. Maybe education is the answer, but it sure doesn't seem to be catching on.
I hate to say it but when people were making a deal over you copying Google they weren't talking about making a portal page. They were talking about the general feel of the thing, the drag and drop ability. Now you say, "well we started first," but if Yahoo were to completely change their front page into the same thing tomorrow they could also say, "no we didn't copy google, we have been a portal since the early nineties," but the fact is it is still (by all appearances) a big fat copy.
In the winter close the vents in your computer room. The problem you are having is you are getting the amount of heat that is required to keep the room/hall with the thermostat in it warm; you have computers producing heat so you don't need it. Likewise in the warm months close your other vents slightly and leave the vent in that room wide open.
The logic here is that if you are a kid rich enough to buy a PSP (and likely more than one as it is a portable device with a moving disc--very fragile) then you are rich enough to spend tons on movies.
As I understand it you cannot develop a non-GPL application for KDE because QT has released their stuff GPL, whereas with GNOME you can because everything is LGPL. Is this correct?

Ok Paul Graham. I guess if the reporters used LISP they could generate their own stories.
You can use an uninterruptible power supply and plug the voip phone, the cable modem, and the router up to it.
Yes, because I'm sure schools would run Linspire of all distros to teach kids these concepts.
Are you half sure? Because he was only half kidding.

People who make games for a console have to pay large royalty fees.

"so I'm chasing gurls like Tom chases Jerry"
i.e. poorly

By that logic the addition of an IP stack was not noteworthy at all; afterall, everyone could just get winsock.

Yeah it is hard to use metonome anywhere; it isn't even in the dictionary.
Damn--almost enough to take Whoopie out on a date!
But a browser weren't included with windows would it ever have hoped to explode as fast as it did?
Wrong guy, different case, and hell, different country even.

Yes but most movies, which is what most people are talking about when they talk about DVDs, are native widescreen

Well then when you say a 3.5 inch screen isn't small you should go ahead and calculate the size after the borders are taken into account.

I thought the same exact thing. Their circular selection mechanism is so large that it is probably extremely imprecise anyway.
