When the average person violates probation, they go straight to prison. They dont get a trial or a hearing to prove their innocence, nor does the state give them more time to get it right, or get their affairs in order.
The investigation will result in a few token gesture penalities and business will continue as usual. Do you really think politicians are going to allow major donors to face serious punishment?
Jesus Christ, do you have any idea what you are talking about? Syria and Saddam never got along. In fact, Syria backed Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, shutting off the pipelines going from Iraq to Syria for 17 years. Additionally, they dispatched several thousands troops to fight alongside American forces during Operation Desert Storm.
Plus common sense says this is a dumb idea. How does Saddam ensure Syria won't out them to their American allies in the war against Al-Qaeda. It's true Colin Powell was full of praise for Syria in fighting Al-Qaeda and we dispatched some Canadian guy to be tortured on the mistaken assumption he was al-Qaeda. Also, how does Saddam ensure he gets them back had the US called off the invasion/ It's not like he could have sued or invaded otherwise the US would have justification and he'd been fucked.
Common Sense and basic historical knowledge can be fun.
Actually, my clothes aren't Chinese made and I boycott Wal-Mart because of their Chinese made crap and adblock Google's because I am too lazy to change blogging companies.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
How did this blatant story spam get posted here? Geez, Kuro5hin just finished shooting this down too, which makes it even worse that it got posted here.
In the more mundane and day to day changes Dell will also be backing Alienware financing of their expensive machines, which is something Alienware couldn't have done before on its own and because Dell will be handling all of Alienwares suppliers the company expects to get more allocation of scarce products such as new graphics cards and ordering an Alienware will no longer be like putting in an order for a car in East Germany."
Actually, according to Microsoft Word 97, this scores at a 12.0 reading level on the Flesch-Kincaid reading level test ran with spellcheck.
Seriously, if it is "too hard" for a parent to install and monitor internet filters for their children, then someone seriously needs to take their reproductive bits away.
It is not that hard to install an internet filter, or if they are that inept, pay someone to assist them. So don't give me that crap about how kids today are smarter than their parents, that is just a copot. All it takes is the time most people invest in a few TV episodes, maybe a book or two, and some ironfisted discipline.
regarding "I barely graduated high school and I do fairly well considering most people in my fields have MBAs or Master's Degrees and I never attended college."
Seriously, I admire you though. You run retail stores, which you apparently shut down to spite the IRS, despite claimed "record sales", a record studio, IT, and numerous other business, while all the time writing multiple books which no one else seems to have read or heard of, multiple blogs and newsletters, and posting and engaging in numerous long running slashdot debates, yet only making enough to have a rundown, I believe camary(sp?).
All despite never getting any government help, I mean building the roads and schools to support your endeavors much be a bitch
that they are a corporation, whose some purpose is to make money, right? Look, I am aware that they put out some fantastic spin on the issue, such as alerting Chinese users that they are being censored.
But that will only last as long as the PRC regime decided to allow it. Then, Google will bend over, and sell out again.

Come on, this is a blatant ad. How can you miss it? Here, if you're going to make a habit of it, plug my stuff. It's a lot more interesting.

Free stuff is always in the consumer interest.

but Yahoo should try and avoid whoring itself out to one of the worse regime on the planet. Just as a common courtesy.
I didn't, but then again I don't play games.
I was referencing the Simpsons.
in the coffin of intelligent design. Jesus/Allah/Budda (I love you all) this idiocy dies here.
Now, I can relax and not have to worry about learning how to parallel park in the city.
yeah, because I've filed ohh so many lawsuits against anyone. Geez, relax Wal-Mart is just a company.
Ha Ha, I use windows 98se, not Linux.
not by me, though I do my best by boycotting them as much as possible and getting others to do so as well.
in that, despite the cult like devotion of their followers, they're are merely human inventions, that can and will fail.
