A colleague's father was part of the committees that eventually churned out the J2EE spec. It was indeed originally intended as CICS for Java. It mutated a bunch, though.
I have. One of those things is hitting them over the head with the fact that their browser is broken until it sinks in. The fact that Apple are now supplying a more standards compliant browser with every Mac and iteration of MacOS X only makes the task easier.
Since the US has been attacking the EU over its implementation of precisely the sorts of laws you're talking about the US would be in a poor position negotiating with the EU if it did so.
How long before they'd be attacked as a non-taffic barrier under NAFTA or WTO rules?
I'm sorry, your present legislative representatives are busy making it harder to sue and capping awards under the guise of so-called tort reform; they're not interested in making it easier for you to sue an insurance company for fucking you over.
Nor will they be, until you can ante up a few million in bribes. Sorry, donations.
And you could then have her dealt with under US law. What's the US going to do to get the Indian? Invade? Shit, most of your Army's tied up in a country with 20 million people and no WMDs; the Pentagon isn't going to go after a nuclear power for the sake of your medical records.
Dodging the draft will be more difficult than those from the Vietnam era remember. College and Canada will not be options. In December 2001, Canada and the US signed a "Smart Border Declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Manley, and US Homeland Security Director, Gov. Tom Ridge, the declaration involves a 30-point plan which implements, among other things, a "pre-clearance agreement" of people entering and departing each country.
Venus would just require radically new technology to land on,
Or you could ask the Russians how the Venera landers worked. I know NIH is a big problem for some people, but overcoming a bit of parochialism never hurt anyone.
The CIA? Perhaps you could look up the School of the Americas, and see how many people in South and Central America have been exterminated by the CIA's pet dictators. Heck, here's a giggle: go to Chile and start telling people the CIA are a swell bunch in no way comparable to, say, the KGB. If you're lucky, you'll just get a verbal reality check, not a punch in the mouth.
Every time 64 bit computing comes up, we get this refrain. Given how often the question has been answered, you'd think people wouldn't need to answer it, much less get positive moderation for it.
64 bit computing is invaluable anywhere you need oodles of RAM. That would include 3D modelling, film editing, music production and the like. Those are all desktop apps, and all of them have a significant Windows presense in their respective marketplaces. Being able to stick 16 GB of cheap RAM in a commodity Windows box and do video editing will be a lot nicer than editing the same footage in a machine with 2 - 4 GB.
If someone takes a photo of me in a public place and sticks it in a scrapbook, there isn't a problem. If they follow me around all day, monitoring my every move, they'll likely end up having a conversation with Mr Plod.
Moreover, if they do much of anything with the photo without my authorisation, they're opening themselves up to all sorts of trouble.
If a pack of drunks comes at me with bottles and boots, I don't want some bloody camera providing evidence after I've been hospitalised with brain damage; it's no good to me or my wife.
I want actual, real life police officers to be about, able to intervene. Before I get the stuffing kicked out of me.
Because a police officer can actually intervene to stop a crime. Because a police officer isn't a source of clevage shots to be stuck on a web site somewhere. Because a police office can be identified and acted against for inappropriate activites, whereas some character in a back office with camera feeds can't.
Personally, I think proto-facists and their enablers such as yourself should be forced to live under a regime organised by ex-Stasi members. The ones who learn their lesson can be reintgrated into society; the rest can be treated the way the Stasi treated East Germans for the rest of their lives.
Because the ostensible purpose of speed cameras is to discourage speeding. Hidden speed cameras are effective revenue gathering devices, but do less, so the thinking goes, to discourage speeding, whereas a visible camera does.
After all, what are you interested in - being able to punish someone who drives at an unsafe speed, or being able to discourage them from doing it in the first place?
Perhaps, if you pulled your head out of your arse for a few moments, you could study the zeal with which the FBI went about monitoring private, law abiding citizens for dirt because J Edgar didn't like them. Or perhaps you could ask some East Germans about how much they liked living in the surveillance society you seem so fond of.
Perhaps you should see the looks of horror on the faces of a number of people I know when informed that a particular set of security cameras allowed the guards in a building to capture people having sex somewhere they (quite reasonably) assumed was private.
The guards, of course, maintain quite the collection.

Surely Missionary. Then Genocide.
Mozilla Missionary. Has a ring to it.

So? IE's a dead product on the Mac, and has been since last year. What, we should worry because Grail doesn't have modern HTML/CSS support, as well?

The words you're after are "borrow and spend Republican".
What good will universal broadband be for Americans when Michael Powell is given juristiction over it and shuts down teh b00bi3z?
Because you want to trust a news source whose site crashes with AODB errors when I decline to allow cookies.
The bad news is you've been giving a virus to all the girls.
Actually, the draft worked quite well in the US Civil War, and very well in WW II.
Other outs:
Having "other priorities".
"unable to serve because of his bad knees, but somehow is able to totter along as a recreational runner."
"all the positions had been taken by blacks and hispanics."
Too busy on the wrestling team.
Or having an anal cyst.
(Source mostly from here.
Remember, when they come for you, tell them you have other priorities; if it was good enough for the vice-president, it must be good enough for you!
Just tell them you're gay. What are they doing to do, demand to see videos?
(And if they do, just think of it as practise for getting old and needing prostate exams).
You're confusing Type I and Type II diabetes. The latter is what you get for being a lardarse. The former has little to do with your weight.
I haven't had to diddle with the XF86 configs manually since about RedHat 7-ish. Perhaps you should try using a recent distribution some time.
