At the same time, of course, the US was randomly dropping food supplies all over the place, for anyone to pick up, including Taliban troops.
In this Reuters story, a crate of US food destroyed the ceiling of an Afghan house. The repair will cost more than the food. And the food is unusual for the Afghan taste.
How does MacOS X manage application files? It comes from BSD but, as far as I know, installing a Mac application is just drawing a folder on to the file tree.
I know lots of Iranians who hate the current regime. They are the ones who left. Naturally the ones who stayed were largely opposed to the Shah.
What do they think of the Shah? Hating the Islamic republic doesn't mean longing for the Empire in every case. What would your Iranian acquaintances like for a government?
Well, maybe the Israelis don't agree. Anyway, if the government doesn't support terrorism, an important part of the population does.
I would be terribly inclined to see a democracy in Saudi Arabia, but like many people whose education consists primarily of fundamentalist religious indoctrination, I don't know if the people would naturally form a democracy when the government fell.
Fundamentalist religious indoctrination is supported by the Saudi government in and out of Arabia.
like the Taliban. I.e. substantially worse than the current Saudi government
It's very difficult to be worse that Taliban.
Saudi Arabia tries by death penalty, supression of free speech, unfair trials, torture, discrimination against women, mistreatment of refugees and inmigrants.
In my book if you fund an act, then you are liable from the consequences of it. Bin laden paid for it and he actually formed the group who did it himself. He is therefor guility if he personally knew about it or not.
As in: the American taxpayers fund CIA, CIA funds the Pakistani ISI, ISI funds and trains "some" Afghan mujaheddins including Bin Laden?
I understood that biofeedback implied that the feed goes back to the measured being, the dancers, thus enabling a self regulating control loop. I'd call this "biotelemetry" or something.
IRA..... aaah...... they haven`t destroy any big building and their acts are localized on the North Ireland. In Spain there are some little terrorist acts commited from time to time but all of them are strictly localized. Other parts of Europe are safe.
ETA is "localized" to any city of Spain they want and some spots in France where they reside, train and rob explosives.
And recently the police has informed that ETA planned to mark their comeback to killinng in 1999 by blowing up Torre Picasso in Madrid. But the tons of explosives couldn't arrive.
I don't agree.
India was closer to Britain in 1948 than in 1800, either by Suez or by plane. California is ruled now from DC.
I don't see any inexorable law that predicts independence.
few countries would care about keeping it as long as they had scientific observation rights.
Its natural resources (coal, oil?, ores) are untouched. What saves Antarctica, apart of the small influence that shame and peer pressure can have on governments and companies is that exploiting it is not yet profitable.
if they somehow did pass this law, we could always create a country in Antarctica.
Where? Big sectors of Antarctica are claimed by countries (some from the Southern Hemisphere, but also many EU countries). They are held back because of the Antarctic Treaty, but if the treaty is broken, these countries are going to claim First Post! And they (at least some of them) have the resources to back their claims.
The difference is that HTML pages will have advertisements and Newsposts won't (if under subscription) or they will be text-only (or will they be HTML pages).
If somebody reads an ad-free version of Slashdot is easy to check for abuse (password-sharing) because it is centralized. An NNTP stream is easily distributable.
Um, but if somebody receives an NNTP stream even a paid one, there is no technical difficulty to create an NNTP server that rebroadcasts the news.
Maybe that's why.
Anyway has somebody actually done that converter? I remember that when Slash was formally published as usable Open Source there were people saying it was the first thing they'll contribute.
After you become a professor you have to go on all kinds of adventures recovering lost artifacts from all the corners of the earth. Haven't you ever seen Indiana Jones or Relic Hunter?
Yes, bu in-between you have to go back to your University and teach students while you are eager to show Marcus that Cross of Coronado in your pocket. That's the boring part of the job.
The PC support market is saturated by people who bought a crappy PC an loaded on a pirate copy of Office. [...] I'm seriously looking at museum studies of some sort.

Samba is a tool created by consumers, for consumers
Alvin Toffler had the concept of the "prosumer", the producer-consumer. He gave as examples the DIY industry where the consumer gets better prices because "some assembly is required". But the consumer needs the tools for the assembly / construction / cooking...
Consumers by definition consume, not create.
Open Source software is another example of prosumers at work. Hence, it's not always so obvious who is a "company" and who is a "consumer".

So, is it legal to say that the organs that the State extracts from executed prisoners are the best organs money can buy?

Would you enjoy to watch a soccer match, with only robots, executing programmed tasks?
I suppose that live musicians said the same when dance halls were becominng "discotheques".
So Babbage is also a precursor of dotcom crashes and vaporware?

English difficult.
I don't want to be stuck in the computer industry for the rest of my life (can you say: Middle management, and other un-fun things when you get old?).
What about University politics and fighting for grants when you are an old archeologist? Or am I wrong about old archeologists?
Actually I did a search on Google to find the right spelling and meaning.
Now it's time for all those who wrote "Jedi knight" in their census forms to practice their "This are not the bags you're looking for".
