I mean, c'mon... Anyone who buys all this "war on terror" and "we gotta take out the madman" stuff is a grade A moron.
I'm so pleased to find out that no one in the world hates us enough to try to kill us, and that we don't need to have a Defense Department any more. I guess I can feel safe living two miles from the Pentagon, knowing that no one wants to fly another plane into it, or blow it up.
Thanks for clearing that up, I felt like such a moron before!
The powerful message coming out of the film was that we (and by "we" it's clear GNN means "the west", not america alone) are in a position to do something about the dangerous cycle of violence that is threatening what we have come to know as free civilisation.
So, when we're attacked, it's up to us to "do something" to "end the cycle of violence and revenge?" What "something" are we supposed to do, just let it slide, wave it off as "just one of those things we deserve?"
"Peace at any cost," is the phrase that comes sickeningly to mind, dredged up from leftist diatribes of years gone by...
What about papering your car all around with it, and putting cameras on opposite sides, with the left camera displaying on the right side of the car, and vice versa?
And front and back, too, of course, even the roof if you like.
I enjoyed the "House" series very much. Far more interesting than anything in the original series after "Dune Messiah." I know the/. crowd is supposed to be universally negative about things that are popular, but the reaction to the Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson team is just ludicrous. It reminds me of a cage full of monkeys tearing at the one thrown in who was dyed pink.
I guess it's just my quirk, I can read a novel without searching for "flaws" that I can later post about to justify my place in the naysaying herd.
Just because it's going to be snowing in Lancashire, doesn't mean that it's getting colder at the pole, or in the north Atlantic. There's no water "re-freezing" involved here. Regardless of whether's there's an ice age in Britain, there's STILL A FUCKING systemic increase in temperature. It's getting hotter where the ice is, sport. Thus, more polar ice melts, not less.
Therefore, there won't be another "little ice age," if it's "getting hotter where the ice is." Correct?
"Refactoring" from FORTRAN to C is not hard, if you use a tool like "f2c" to process the FORTRAN source. I did that on a contract, and converted about 100 F77 legacy modules into C functions. The biggest problem I had was that they had written really bad FORTRAN, and it was faithfully translated into bad C code. There were lots of places where they were doing things like copying 55 characters into a 30 byte character array, which required me to do some rewriting of the generated C, but overall converting and repairing the code only took about 2 months total.
f2c is also good to use since the terms of use for their FORTRAN I/O workalike libraries is very very open.
The big question is will IBM/Motorola do the same thing to the PowerPC chips? I could see M$oft pressuring Apple to pressure IBM/Moto to make the G[5-9] "Palladium compatible," or else no new versions of Office.
Even worse, according to the article, "no arrests were made, no charges filed." So, the people had their property taken, but no charges filed against the owners? So, what is the property taken for? Is the FBI now going to be used to gather evidence for civil trials?
Except now, thanks to the newly passed "campaign finance reform" laws, you are not allowed to mention the name of any candidate within 60 days of the election. Can't have the unwashed masses "illegally" supporting a challenger to the incumbent.
Not to mention potentially running afoul of the "campaign finance reform" laws that will (conveniently after this November) make it illegal to contribute in many ways to candidates.
This PayPal thing probably won't be challenged by any of the incumbents, since they're the ones getting the money, but a challenger might be able to get it shut down through a court case. Unlikely, but possible.
Unfortunately, yes it does include you and every other hobbyist. You are required to log each song that is playing when someone connects, and how many connect. This is the "per play/per listener" part of the fee. You also have to pay the ASCAP/BMI et.al fees, but these are apparently not nearly as onerous.
Check the wolffm.com and somafm.com websites, they have articles that discuss their current fees, and what they'll have to pay as a result of this CRAP agreement.
Let's see, the kid had no immune system, so we cure it by using stem cells from some embryo, which means he has to take anti-rejection drugs to keep him from destroying the new cells, which only work because he has no immune system, but the anti-rejection drugs stop his new immune system from working....
Or worse, his new immune system doesn't recognize *his* cells, since they don't match the cells from the embryo...

So, once again, the point is, when we're attacked, we must do nothing, since we "had it coming."

Not to mention eliminating the need for post-operative immunosupressive drugs.

Apparently these self-styled "ubergeeks" are being aided and abetted by some woman named "Annie Mae Foo," an obvious pseudonym.
Oh, please do:

Yeah, really, can you believe they made a sequel to "Fellowship of the Ring?"
I mean, we've *seen* hobbits and elves and wizards, where are the *original* ideas?
Works quite nicely on my Mac.
Say, you don't think Microsoft stole a beta version of Quicktime, do you? What am I thinking, of course Microsoft only steals the best.
Maybe your copy of Quicktime is just sensitive, and knows you really don't like it.

Looks like Angelfire doesn't allow anyone to make links to files hosted by them, outside of their domain:

(sorry about the munged URL)
Bandwidth use is their reason, but, but they could extend their CYA to other links, too.
Because the word "nuclear" is as terrifying as the word "witch" was in 17th century Salem Mass.
And just as reasonably so.

Vim for KDE, does this mean someone will port Vigor to KDE? KVigor?
