McCain has also been very critical of the way it has been handled in that we did not have nearly enough forces to provide the security needed after the previous government fell, and he's made no bones about that many times. It's not like he is lock-step with the adminstration over everything, just to note.
(From one who wished very much that McCain hadn't been unfairly tarred by Bush's team in the 2000 primaries and gone to victory instead.)
Does anyone know if he later on became politically active against warfare?
[sarcasm]Oh yes, later on in life he was known to have given many lectures on how he wished that he had come ashore on Juno beach loaded with carnations and roses instead of weapons, and that it would have made a much greater impact on the war effort.[/sarcasm]
Having a CS degree doesn't automatically qualify one as being an expert in user interfaces, and there are quite a few UI experts who couldn't write a lick of code but do study what humans can deduce from a tool without too much instruction. I'm not necessarily challenging the notion of ctrl-s/v as being counter-intuitive (however like the others hint- how to *you* solve it?) but making a claim of being an expert because someone has a CS degree is ludicrous.
Besides, we are all humans (most of us anyway) and we all interact with computers so we all have some input, no?
Understood. The few places I packed (when I did that- and I haven't in many years) were out of road range once you were a day out from where you embarked. One particularly popular trail in Kings Canyon is called Rae Lakes Loop- about 50 miles in length and stunning scenery. I found an excellent travelogue of it here if you are interested: http://kevingong.com/Hiking/RaeLakesLoop.html The aspen forest once you gain some altitude is awesome. Now looking at that photolog, I'd love to do it again. But yeah, there are other trails in the Sierras that it would be difficult to reach once you went in the backcountry. And I am sure there are plenty that would facilitate the cache method you and Phantom described as well.
Take a chill pill, dude. Read the reply to The Phantom. Yes, in the high Sierras, there are several backcountry trails more than a days hike from a trailhead. I know, I've packed a few.
As to backcountry, there are few places in the lower 48 that are more than a day's hike from some trailhead. There are a few, but not many.
Well it's been some years since I've been backpacking as a kid but the trails I was on were deeper than a day's hike from a trailhead in the Sierras (Kings Canyon and Sequoia NPs) so it wouldn't have worked for what I was used to. But I can see how it works for more accessible trails.
To set yourself up, you do the hike the first time, and leave yourself your caches at predetermined intervals.
Then, when you are ready, you do the hike all over again, happy in the knowledge that you already did the complete hike once to save yourself time and effort.
Clearly this isn't backcountry backpacking you are talking about.

There is substantial information on hacking the v710 to unlock the features that are disabled. Did you know about those? I've been considering that phone only because I want a Bluetooth earpiece and have VZW. I don't care about the other features, but I would try the hack if I end up getting the phone.
The thing is, when speaking in an unaccented English (unaccented of course depends on where you are located), native speakers tend to shorten the sounds of many words and turn them into contractions. "Should have" is one of those that gets run together in a contraction frequently. "Should've" When some people hear it, the contracted 'have' sounds like 'of'.
Your pronunciation is probably quite correct (each time I've been to your country I was presented with a lot of people who spoke flawless English)- but it's the colloquial use/pronunciation that is the difference.
More importantly- will the church look down upon you if you show up to work wearing a BSD daemon t-shirt? (Providing those 90+ Windows machines are exorcised properly.)
You may not get that, but you may still be in luck! Because fortunately if you have a television set already, the potentially free DVD player (are you sitting down?) can be hooked right up to it! Yes! My apologies if you are not one of the ~750 out of 1000 per capita that owns a television already (US figures).
Come on- I expect more hair splitting- bring it on!:-)

Mabey they will introduce a tablet version?
I find that hard to swallow.
I never claimed to be an expert.
/. then!
When one reads "instead of moochin' off of us", you don't get the feeling that you are lumping yourself in with the unwashed.
Well anyway, you left yourself open for a fairly blanket statement on those keystrokes.
It really is a case of people who don't know shit talking out of their ass and it really gets old after a while.
Man, you REALLY need to stay away from

So let me get this straight-
To set yourself up, you do the hike the first time, and leave yourself your caches at predetermined intervals.
Then, when you are ready, you do the hike all over again , happy in the knowledge that you already did the complete hike once to save yourself time and effort.
Clearly this isn't backcountry backpacking you are talking about.
You could have Goohgled it first.

...outside of the computer-nerd crowd, is ridiculous.
I am sorry, you have just posted to Slashdot- the proper spelling is "rediculous"
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
But if it's given to you- then it's free to you! I just sent someone in Brazil a camera worth $100- FREE!- so sometimes people do get lucky! :-)
You may not get that, but you may still be in luck! Because fortunately if you have a television set already, the potentially free DVD player (are you sitting down?) can be hooked right up to it!

These are all great points- and also missing is you don't have to do the messy 'cut-the-hole-in-the-popcorn-bucket' trick to surprise your date.
Movies can be checked out at the library. And if someone gives you a DVD player for Christmas...
Free!

Ahh yes- move out of your home; makes no difference if you own the home you live in or anything like that:
Move to a new city- anywhere, just as long as you are able to placate SPEWS.
Your bulb certainly burns bright and the elevator clearly stops at the top floor, young man.
