Give all CDMA phones to iraquis at a cheap (a few gallons of oil each) price and take the chance to upgrade all USA cellphones to GSM and/or 3G. The next move will be with old tv sets (is time to go to hdtv), all pre-P4 computers and finally, the final touch, give them all the windows OS licenses and install Linux instead.
Yhis way America will not only became victorious from this war, but also renovated at the hardware level.

that tags products with copy protection schemes could be extended for this kind of things.
More funny than this is that Microsoft
recommends
to not trust ActiveX controls signed by them. So now you can't trust unsigned and signed ActiveX controls.
I remember more Total Recall by being based in a Philip K. Dick (one of MY favorite SciFi authors) tale than to be an adaptation (?) from Piers Anthony (from who I don't remember reading anything).
From that movie I recognize parts that are clearly from PKDick (you end not knowing what is reality). and things that sound a lot like Verhooven (a government that cares nothing about their citizens), so I guess that what is in the middle should be Anthony:)
I hear earlier the Bush speech where it talks about freeing Iraq and iraquis, and how the speech was done sounded a ring. What if the "clasiffied" documents includes a Hitler speech that is almost word by word almost the same that what Bush said?

When slashdot post an article point to any site and effectively denies anyone to access it, by a massive slashdot effect, nobody talks about it, even you can be modded down if you suggest that... but when some amateurish script kiddies do the same they deserve the front page? That's unfair.
Anyway, considering the very few unbiased news on the war available, DOSing the one that can give another point of view is even dumber than simply DOSing any site.
It seems to be focused on using open source software on educational centers, not for all activities in that region, but its a very good first step.
Anyway, ensuring that all computer and components are compatible with open source solutions maybe not ensures that they will not use windows, but at least that they can choose now or after without being forced to use one solution over another because winmodems, winprinters, and other hardware that depends on windows to work.
How can you tell when you are talking about this "metaphysics" and the other, more commonly used "metaphysics" that are related to occultism, mysticism and things like that?

Slackware 9, RedHat 9, Mandrake 9.1, the one that left behind is SuSE 8.2... or it will jump to the nine team just before the release in 3 weeks?
Is to note that in that topic Linux is inferior to Windows, they left a lot of time ago the 90's, then they jump to 2000, and now they are using letters because they are higher in the ascii table. If I were designing distribution numbers, I would jump over roman numbers (X is already used, and XXX would look as a pr0n distribution), and go to chinese (or another language/culture/religion) numbers directly, that should be high in the unicode table.
They could show bad examples on security (they have plenty of them). They can teach by showing the opposite ("see? that kind of things I'm doing is insecure"). And they can scare them showing what kind of things happens when they don't give a damn about security.
Security is more an art than a science, so Microsoft only need to push the students to NOT go in the wrong direction (er... MS direction) and they will find the right path. If they don't do anything that Microsoft did, they can only do secure things.
I think LOTR as a whole movie will be the most winning movie in the history. Got 4 Oscars the last year for the first part, in Cinematography, Visual Effects, Make-Up and Original Score, and in this one at this hour is getting a second one in Visual Effects, and another in Sound Editing.
Don't know how this will end this night, and in the next year, but I think that in the next year it should have some award for the movie as a whole, not for each part, or the Return of the King in particular.
Today in Cinecanal they show "Shrek" (here in spanish).
As the movie was translated (not subtitled), the part at the start where they put the names of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow,
that did the "voices" was cut. Now, if the character's expression was taken from their acting while they did the voices, I think that this was unfair with those actors, in the same sense that they are doing with Serkis with Gollum, their acting was more than only put the voices.
it work well since years ago. Computers running Windows often show me their blue face when I show them mine, even if their owners says that Windows is very stable and they never saw a blue screen before. Surely Windows can recognize people and do this specifically to me.
Uh, I forget this from the previos answer. What you think that will recognize a 14 years old guy?
this ones as the good guys or those as the entire cast?
Ian McKellen was the bad guy in X-Men, so is a bit actual. Hugo Weaving was an agent in Matrix, also very actual.Christopher Lee is almost a legend, maybe it not appear a lot on modern movies (?) but it is on most of the clasical horror movies. And Elijah Wood has acted in a lot of actual movies, including Deep Impact. And not forget Cate Blanchett and Liv Tyler.
I think that a 14 years old boy would know most of this actors, saw previos movies with them in leading roles, but probably they hear about Andy Serkis (and about most of the rest of the cast not named here) just on this movie.
Take them as an opportunity for the desesperate ones to get karma points. If a dupe story is posted, the only thing needed to get good karma is to check the old article, post in this one the best (+5 points) ones, and you get instant, mindless karma.
If old articles are not checked for dupes, how will be checked old comments of those old articles?:)

One color to rule them all, and in the darkness (or ultraviolet, for our limited vision will be the same) bind them? Too much LOTR

Not remember when the crusades were, but if that picture you painted were before X century, binary numbers right now would be er... ^H and I

That awards looked like are for UK only "big brothers", else they will choose over Blair the big-big-big brother that is lives across the ocean.

Logic is not was it used to be. Now you prevent war starting it, so this is not so bad.

Don't forget that games are between the apps that more need computing power, and the more likely to require 64bit power from "normal" users.

This is not violating any kind of license, like GPL? After all, Safari is Konqueror based. Or that will run when the final version is released?
