If you read newspapers in any language other than English, you will find out that there are about a billion people pissed off with the US and its attitude. Add in thouse that are just slighty annoyed and you get another 2 billion. Care to add up the numbers your self? How many Muslims are in the world? In most Muslim countries, the US has a disapproval rate of 3 out of 4. How about China? They only have about a billion people and most of them don't like American polices either. right now India seems neutral but most of Africa isn't too happy about US drug compaines trying to shaft them. Add in the people who arn't happy with the CIA installed goverments in Columbia and Puru and what do you get? Lots of people in South America that don't don't like America in their business. All told thats quite a few people out of 4 billion that don't like America being a the worlds police force. Maybe the US should become more isolationist. There isn't anything wrong with it.
Most thrid world people I have meet have a better grasp of world politics than a typical American. Most of thouse people can also find major countries on a map.
You don't understand airspace do you?
Throw away your concepts of how it works...
Each aiplane in controled airspace files a flight plan. Each plan consits of where it will be at what time. It has exclusive use of each segment for a fixed amount of time. This system (which was based on railroads before there was ATC radar) is based on the fact that radios don't work all the time. You could wipe out the entire ATC system in the US and not have any planes running into each other.
Of course there are thouse that want to bring the ATC system into the 1990's and let the computers made the decisions. I think I prefer the old system since it works and has an working fall back plan.
If you look at the US track recored, taking out military command and control systems and finacial interests are part of war even when a few non-related civilains are involved. A soldiers duty is to limit your enemys ability to make war. Taking out their military HQ is a target. F*cking up their money (or oil) supply is a target and forcing their military to babysit the general population is a fair target. Using the enemeys own equipment aginst them is a fair too. The US has done all these things in the past to other countries. Remember when we bombed the Chinese emabasy? It was an "accident" but the stray bombs were the most expensive cruise missles in the US arsenal and had very small warheads. The same type of missle blew up milosevic's bed but left the house standing. It was well known that the chinese wanted to know how to shot down the F117 so they were doing deals and had advisors opps I mean journalist doing a bit of advising.
US AF aircraft do not meet the requirements of the GC as do the special forces since neither wear an ID that can be seen at a distance. So why are the rules only applied one way?
Why can't the US have the balls to say "these people are dangerous to us and once we verify who they are and what they know we are going to keep them in jail forever or just kill them."
When the dressed rehearsals for Sep 11th happended (dec 99 & mid 01), the airline profiled the guys for having a one way tickets. I'm supprised that al-quada hasn't laid down the rule "don't buy one way tickets". Besides a round trip ticket is usualy much cheaper than a one way ticket.
The big problem with Sep 11th is that we still ahven't learned the lesson that if we don't stop pissing off 1/5 of the worlds population, they are going to do their best to get even and its clear that getting even is on their terms, not ours.
I run a server at home on my cable modem. I also have a server at racksapce.
Because I've got my own DNS server, I can play my own dynamic DNS games so getting a new IP address at every boot isn't much of an issue but I've only had about 8 address in the last two years and 1/2 of those were when they were renumbering the network.
I create things on my local machine and then use webcopy or wget to copy it off over the big server. Turns out that is slightly less traffic than doing an "scp * remote:"
I figure if they are going to sell me "the Internet" they damn well better provide two way tcp communications or else its is false advertising. If they say I can't run any server, its not internet access. I do agree with their ability to say don't let your server interfere with other customers. Running a server doesn't mean I have to take out my neighbors access.
Say you have 8 ISP's on the lan. Shouldn't you b able to approach ISP-A and say I need 16 addresses and I'm going to use them with ISP-C. Then they find out the next 16 address in a/26 (or so) that has been assinged to them and ISP-C and assign them to you.
I've been claiming (for years now) that APNIC should not assign any more address space to a single ISP but all new assignments should be dual homeable routabel (in a region) addresses. Their current polices make it impossable to dual home a small company that needs less than 1024 addresses.
MS was building OS's before IBM's. They made the OS for the TRS-80.
IBM built PC's to kill off Apple and Tandy who had made a major impact on their system 36(0?) business. I have a friend that worked at the factory on the 1st run of IBM PCs. He said there was a nice letter saying something along the lines of "if this computer doesn't meet your needs, call your IBM sales rep for details on trading it up". the only thing you could trade up to was some heavy stuff.
Billy Gates got into IBM because his mommy worked at United Way extorting dontations out of large compaines. Remember that without her setting up deals, there would be no Microsoft. Remember that the next time united way comes around your company looking for donations. I think there are better causes to donate to I don't give a damn about my company meeting its goal of having 100% of its employees donating.
The unix tools I've seen ported to CPM worked better than the tools ported at the time of WFW 3.11. Maybe CPM was a cleaner OS than MS-dos?
The time modifed means they may have cut out entire scenes.
Many years ago you would offten find M*A*S*H running at one of the time slots between the 5:00 and 6:30 news. The reason is that it had so many sub plots they could cut out huge amounts of it. It started out as a 30 minute show and I've seen it run in 1/2 that. I was told that a TV station would get the show from the distributers, it would be sorted by run lenght and so if they ran the news over by 7.5 minutes, they could go pull out a shortend show and then they would be back in time for the all importaint 7:00 primetime network slots. This became very clear when they showed the same epposide two days in a row and they were different cuts.
There is a fundamental flaw in our understanding of gravity. This needs to be fixed.
1) Space probes all are slowing down
2) GPS sats are not moving they way they should
3) pendulums swing funny during solar eclipses
I think these three are related. I also think they are ignored because they don't fit in with so many modern theorys but then again alchemstry keept many smart men from seeing the truth.

Apollo 1
·
· Score: 0, Troll
At the higest point that the shuttle can go, there is still atmospheric drag so I think your right about that not being "outer space".
Americans couldn't get to "outer space" now if they had to.
Apollo was our pyramid of Cheops. The highlight in our history unless we collecectly decide to do better.
I'll get troll moded for these statments but I knew quite a few people involved with Apollo I and the latter systems and many of them still balme themselves for the fire.
years ago Oral-b had a comerical where they had a loud buzzing sound. At first it wasn't too bad but it quickly was changed to a very loud buzzong sound and my reaction was to jump for the remote control.
yesterday I was buying a new toothbrush. I didn't pick oral-B.
Remember an advertisings compaines job is to sell their product, not your product.
Try it with a thiner disk. At some point you get no noise. Service manuals for CD players used to tell you what distace the head at for proper pressure on the disc.
I agree with all of those. Another great positive is that the DVD won't degrade after playing it a few dozen times, and that it is much easier to store than a VHS (being smaller.)
This is total BS.
I have a collection of the 1st 7 bond movies on DVD. These were all in their factory wrappers and the picture quality is lower then the VHS versions thanks to MPEg artifacts and scratches taht were in the new discs.
Now if you take a typical player, you will find that it touches the disc. This is true for most CD players and all DVD players. This causes radial scratches. In my low cost player, these cheap dvd's will play no more than about ten times at their current rate of being scratched before they are much worse than VHS.
Most of the older DVD's that I've rented will not play 100% without skipping.
I'm not going to pay more for a DVD when I can get the VHS (which is quite robust) at a lower price. I know I can get VHS tapes replaced but I can't get DVD's replaced. As a consumer, the best option for me is VHS.
I don't agree with your comments about GCC being slow. In the early days of 32 bit CPUs it was offten much faster than the vendors compilers. This was true for the National Semiconductor 32000, the western electric (aka AT&T) we32000. Depeneding on who you asked it was faster for motorola and sparc chips as well. It seemed to do quite weill fo real CISC but it did have a weakness with RISC.
It was never fast for the Intel chips which may have more to do with the design of the x86 and not GCC.
They way it used to work is I would run a server and I would share some groups with your server. Everything in those groups would end up on both servers. The people started alt.bin* groups and wanted their ISP to carry all the trafic. That bandwidth cost real money so most smaler ISPs farmed it out to one of the compaines that just provide usenet servce.
I now run a server that has about 450 groups and I share most of thouse groups with about 7 other sites. It works great and is highly reliabale and isn't full of the junk you get when you try to take everything.
The AGC is a feature on your TV set. Older sets have a switch to turn it off. Macrovision generates signals that trip up the AGC on the TV if the signal has been recored. The device doesn't regnerate the AGC but takes the signals and removes the parts that mess up AGC.
Redundant... most of this was posted last time H2 came up...
The Hindenburg didn't blow up. It leaked real fast. Most of the 97 people on it survied and the accident killed 35 people on board and one ground crew.
The airship business was killed off because the Helium people in Texas tried to spin the situation so they could sell more He2 and ended up killing off the airship.
The fire was made much worse because of the aluminum powerd which burned quite nicely. Maybe a chemist will say what happens in reactions involving H,O and Al. I expect the buring Al didn't give the hydrogen enough oxygen to burn.
Compare Missori to Victoria. They are both about the same size and have about the same population.
Now we can find that in 1996 there were 433 murders in Missouri and 67 in Victoria for a ratio of about 6.5 to 1 favoring Australia. How ever theft is just about the other way around (so many categorys) and Victroia has a few more bashings than Missouri has assults. Rapes in Missouri tend to be in the 1500s but 323 for Victoria in 2000. So depending on what crime your going to be a victim of, you may want to consider relocating.
The rest of Australia has rates much like Victoria and Missouri has typical crime rate for the midwest which tends to be lower than the east coast.
