Has anyone else noted that even MS products are being frozen out of MSN? The Pocket PC people are all over the fact that WinCE's IE won't work with MSN, and I've heard that IE 5.5- is also affected. MS isn't doing anticompetitive activities, they're doing crack!
Call it a revocation of bail then. In normal non-international event trials, if you are suspected of commiting another crime while on bail, your bail gets revoked: that's not "innocent until proven guilty", that's everyone else's right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". OBL is suspected of commiting another crime while under indictment, so it's logical that the US take reasonable steps to secure his person. Since the acts are attempting to kill 40,000+ people twice, it's only reasonable that extraordinary actions get taken.
I fail to cite the Cole and embassies because 1) they happened after the 1997 indictment and 2) are violations of technical American soil, while the World Trade Center attacks were on unequivocal US soil: Manhattan was bought and paid for in the 1700's.
No, the crime that Bin Laden should be pursued for is the one he was indicted for in 1997. A Grand Jury thought that there was enough evidence for him to be bound over for trial: pages and pages of evidence that you can find and read on your own if your jibe about opening one's mind applies to yourself as well.
Also, if you had read my post, instead of replying in short shift, you would see my defence for this not being first blood at all, which you still have not changed
US soldiers (or even citizens) have shed Afghani blood? News to me. THAT is what I mean by first blood.
OBL is most certainly not a Saudi anymore, and he's lived in Afghanistan long enough to be naturalized, so he is an Afghani. As for proof, I'm sure that proof wil be forthcoming: I'm also sure that said proof is not in any hands other than the TLAs dealing with the situation right now.
The US is not out to control anything in this war, we are out for revenge. I really don't think that the US Armed Forces are going to care if the "rebel base" they bombed was civilian or not, so long as there's Afghani bodies around. The Russians and Brits were trying to hold together control of the native population, while the US won't really care if the population is under control or not, so long as they're not in the way of us getting Bin Laden.
They've just reinvented the DC1 and a trained pilot... The DoA has been orbiting planes around wildfires for about 30 years and having the pilot report back to NIFC via radio. A billion dollars to replace a skilled pilot and plane: just when you thought that the U$ couldn't do anything more stupid...
Their Select service (the cheap one) includes an Intel Pro/DSL 2100 modem: to the best of my knowlege, there is no way to get this beast to work with either FreeBSD or linux. You have to pay $150 extra for the Cisco external router to use FreeBSD. Doesn't sound too FreeBSD friendly to me, but I guess that I'm kind of biased by the fact that I have to pay $40/month to them and they won't make it possible for me to use my OS of choice with their (Intel basically says "they're qwest's" about the modems) hardware.
OpenSSH and OpenSSL both fit under variants of the BSD license. The only place the GPL is mentioned in either one is in OpenSSL which specifically DENIES the right to relicense under GPL. Out of the 33 posts ATM, a good dozen or so are about how to include GPL stuff in payware. What part of BSDL don't all of you understand? As far as the inclusion of BSD licensed stuff in payware, Microsoft did it with the early versions of their TCP stack (up until win2K), BSDi does it regularly, and HP is still doing it for now. Mostly it involves making sure that copyright notices stay intact and ensuring that the Copyright holder (often the Regents of UC Berkeley) gets credit where credit is due.
2) You trust MICROSOFT to use a cryptographically secure system?! The same company that stored its passwords in plaintext for five years and had an avoidable authentication agent for much longer?
Let me get this straight: you went to the trouble of looking up the plural of virus, BUT DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE MINOR FACT THAT "ILOVEYOU" ISN'T A VIRUS?!?!?! It's a trojan! A virus doesn't need to have user interaction to deliver its payload, a trojan does. The simple solution to "iloveyou" is not to open the damn script, making it a trojan. "news for nerds" indeed: any nerd worth their salt could've told you that one.
Borland used to be renowned for it's dead-tree manuals. Once they killed the Turbo C and went into the C Builder product lines, the dead tree manuals degraded into the present online help kludge. You have to give credit, Borland is going back to its roots as a really good compiler first, MS competitor second, but they still have a LONG way to go to gain back the credibility they lost in the late nineties.

the message was from hpa: H. Peter Anvin, chrisd obviously needs to look a little harder at his bootscreens....

"we're going to hold the people who house them accountable."
Looks pretty clear cut to me. House OBL, die.

Osama Bin Laden, the Afghani Minister of Defense.
OBL is the defense minister. Thus the terrorists were at the very least Afghani mercenaries, and could possibly be construed as regular forces.
Did I say unjustified? I just said first blood. That is, the first direct attack by Afghanis on US soil.
What sets us apart from them is first blood. They drew it, and we bled it.

I hope Michael knows that LSL was designed to play on a $2000 computer in its day....
That would be dopewars. It was written originally for VAXen, then got ported to linux. There have been wintendo versions released as of 1/01....
