The US is free for US citizens, NO ONE ELSE. There are tens of millions of people detained and kicked out of the country every year for entering the country illegally, or simply for not having the appropriate paperwork. The US is hardly responsible for the freedom of people outside of the US.
We're not talking about something that only weighs a couple of tons.
Even though I don't know the specifics of this comet, comets can be several miles in diameter. For the sake of arguement let's use 3 miles as the diameter. Three miles thick made up of water, rock, and metal, three VERY heavy materials. Moving VERY quickly as well.
Imagine what a piece of steel the size of a minivan could do if it were moving at the same velocity as a bullet. Now imagine a 3 mile wide piece of water and ferric rock moving as fast as a bullet, now twice as fast, and so on. We don't have the technology to even alter it's path. We're a LONG way away from being able to stop it. We can't throw parachutes on it and wait for it to stop.
We've spent so much on our nuclear arsenal. Time to put it to good use- call it community service to the world. Hit Paris with a neutron bomb to take out all people, and leave some of the buildings, for mementos.
Just because the english came up with it first the French must somehow either outdo the English, or ignore then steal their standards claiming it their own. I am all for nationalistic pride, I have no problem with the French or any nation celebrating their own achievements, but 're-mapping' the prime meridian simply b/c the english did it first and your nation resents them is absurd.
Ok, first I agree with you for the most part, parents need to take responsibility for there children, however I do not see any problem with anyone older than 12 going to see this movie. I don't really think theres anything in this movie (or any other for that matter) that could be so dangerous as to change the way anyone over 12 would react to it. I do not agree with your idea that a 16 year old can't have just as much experience if not more than a 20 year old, it all depends on how your raised, if as you seem to think children should be moderated and prevented from seeing certain movies and such, then obviously they will have less experience than someone who does get to watch those movies. I personaly am 16 right now, and I have every entention of going to see the south park movie, even if it means sneaking in through a back door (or calling in some favors with some friends who work at the theater) and I believe that anyone who wants to see the movie should. The only reason the movie got a R rating is because it insulted the beliefies and ideas of a majority of the US for the sake of making a point that people are to uptight about everything.
P.S. they really have to put a spell check on these things, I don't have time to dig out a Dictionary.
Please don't start a rant on christianity. What they mean was that it's incredibly dangerous for them, because they don't seem to understand the Gospel well enough yet. There are good, non-hypocritical christians out there, believe me. As soon as I find one, I'll let you know.

HNN has an update; Harvard will return a copy of the site to Ken Williams. Also AntiOnline (JP's site) is uber-down. No DNS, no nuthin'. Figures, I suppose.
He was not a Harvard student, but a student at another university. According to his postings, a Harvard sysadmin had offered to host his security website - and he kept the only copies of his class notes from the other school's classes, his website, and the related data on this Harvard machine - trusting them to back it up for him and keep it available.
If the allegedly injured party asks to have the site taken down and the backups destroyed, and this is done, he'll look rather silly demanding in court the evidence that he told them he wanted them to destroy.
Nice. A 100 MBit/sec home connection. And how long will it take until they figure out that they can't support it upstream and cut it down to 128 kBit/sec like @home did?
We use Apache JServ 1.0 in a standard 3/4 tier environment. Right now we don't need state migration or complicated fail over/load balancing. (We will soon). We modified Jserv to do JDBC connection pooling, thread pooling, and probably will do socket pooling. I should have some benchmark numbers next week if anyone is interested.
We use a handful of jsp's and servlets for dynamic content.
It will start to be tricky when we need proper state sharing/persistence/failover. We probably won't ever use any remote method invocation mechanism.
So we're in the boat of needing about 1/2 of the complexity of an application server...given the complexity of debugging these things, i feel more comfortable with access to the source.
In the cases you mention, I would consider those sites as not using HTML, but the languages you describe. HTTP would just be used as a delivery mechanism for those languages. Granted one can come up with degenerate cases where HTML document is unusable (e.g. a doc composed of one image encoded in a new image format), but the gist of my point I believe is still valid.
I too am very seriously considering mirroring a few pages locally. If I can work out some type of reasonable deal with either my cable or DSL company I will.
Most of the pages that I want to mirror are political in nature, but the principle is the same. Just because someone wants it shutdown does not mean that is should be.
My question is this, why did he not have local backups of his work? I don't even do work for customers without keeping a backup of it for a while. (just in case they stiff me on the payment, I can still get paid for my work).
The release notes usually list new things in a given milestone that you should check, but there's lots of simple stuff too: browse your favourite sites, tell us if (ok, when =) ) it crashes. Try to send/read mail, submit forms, resize quickly while crossing your toes and winking, etc. (The provided binaries should bloody well have debug information; if they don't, we have done a bad thing and you should rub my nose in it).
And when you find a bug -- or think you've found a bug -- check out the bug writing guidelines for more information on how to report a good bug.
To report a bug in the bug writing guidelines, mail the authors listed at the top of the page. =)
I can imagine the need for a line by line examination and I know there was a project out there that was doing that, dunno if kha0s is. But why adopt the bsd-style development? --- Put Hemos through English 101!

This sounds like politics! One democrat trys to "out-liberal" another, and one republican trys to "out-conservative" another.
This should be settled with two questions.
1. Do you like which OS you use?
2. Does it fork FOR YOU?
If the answer to both of those is yes, then keep on using it and leave me the fuck alone.
Do you see professional athlete's in such fights as to which is better Nike, or Adidas?
People dying of cancer don't argue about whether Marlboro or Camel was worse.

My favorite line: "Male chorus line dancers wore pink bikini briefs" as one of the vile scenes in the movie. HAHAHAHA
Also the end of the second review when it's also a Commie movie with Marxist influneces!
