Why don't you fight the fucking terrorists in your own borders first?

Not even the terrorist attacks in Yemin and Saudi Arrabia could convince us.
This is not the first millitary action against Bin Ladin / Al Qaida (though that was after the U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa).
Of course it showed you were right: "Civilian casualties increase public support for war", and the destruction of a harmless pharmaceutical factory sure boosted the war against America.

How is blowing them to pieces and burning them to ashes the same as to "catch the ppl responsible, then lock them away or kill them"? 2 months ago we (more or less) knew where Bin Ladin was, now we don't even know if he'S dead or alive.
Oh yeah, and don't try to attract them to the American Way of Life too much, else sombody might board another plane.
AFAIK Al Qaida only used human guided vehicles. An according to Dubya, those were coward guided vehicles, unlike the drones (yes, I think Bill Maher is right).
According to this article (in German), Gravenreuth did act on behalf of the company.
The company (or rather their lawyer Gravenreuth) send an "Abmahnung" against SuSE to not publish CDs with Krayon on it. SuSE didn't sign it (probably because the CDs didn't even contain Krayon), and then the company got an injunction against SuSE.
The question is: Why was Heisenberg surprised? Because he thought it couldn't (easily) be done, or because he couldn't believe the Allies dropped it on an strategicaly unimportant city with mostly civilian population, bringing even more devastation than the attack on Dresden.
But doing business with quarrelling states (in and outside of Europea) has for a long time been an important factor in the US economy. The question is, what is more important to the US, its security or its economy.
OTOH, if you want lots of people to use your system, you need to design it so that it is at least superficially familiar. So Linux windowing systems tend to have eye-candy that makes them look like either a Win32 computer or a Mac. They also have others, for people with different needs/desires. Consider BlackBox, e.g. This caters to minimalists. (Not me. I prefer KDE or Gnome. But that's the way I use the computer.)
If you think GUIs are about eye-candy and "looking like" something - they are not.
Please, do tell me how Windows' menus "don't take up desktop space hanging around all the time". They actually take up more space, because they are there in every window.
First, DVD stood for Digital Video Disc, than they thought it could do more than just video, so they called it Digital Versatile Disc, then they found out that that's trademarked already, so now DVD just stands for DVD (unless it stands for Digital V Disc).
Even funnier/sadder was the thing with Tricon. He represented a Dutch company named "Tricon Engineering BV" that held a trademark on the name "Tricon". And because "Triton" could be confused with Tricon, he got an injunction on people advertising computers and motherboards with an Intel chipset commonly known as "Triton". He even tried to get Microsoft in the sack, because Windows 95 flashed "Triton" on the screen when booting on a machine with said chipset.

OK, here are more reasons why Apple won't release a wall-mount-kit:
(redundant) Jobs said in his Keynote that Apple didn't just put the computer inside the display because the drives can't perform optimaly when not build in horizontaly.
Ventilation. Neither Jobs in his keynote, nor the Apple info say anything about the new iMac having a fan, but looking at the pictures (with the vent holes on top and bootom), the history of the iMac and Cube, and the rather low max. temperature for operation (35C), I'ld guess the IMac/G4 is meant to be opperated in an upright position.
Slashdot Mirror
You mean unlike Linux? Yeah, Slashdot should finaly realize where the cookie's at, and concentrate on delivering the Redmont gospel.
Case in point: at least 3,006 civilian deaths were caused by U.S. bombing between Oct. 7 and Nov. 23.

Well, this conflict is also about territory.

The odd thing is that Hitler had both biological and chemical weapons, yet did not use them.
Both series of V-weapons were targeted at London, that was as precise as they could get.

So why aren't menues on the bottom of windows?

Yeah, there is no point in having fun together when your not having any fun.
It's nice that you had USB before Apple did, but what did you do with it?
IQ isn't perfectly normal because there is a lower limit at 0, but no upper limit. But those aren't even one-in-a-million cases.

What?
Yes, disk - as in Compact Disk or the last D in DVD, (that once stood for Disk, but now has no meaning).
Ah, but Google didn't save the "historical record of the USENET", it restored them (well not really them - go read the article).
There are no new desktop Macs - for now. OTOH, Seybold is just 6 weeks away :-|
