That's not correct. The full title is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Dependent Territories". The Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles, Anglesey, the Hebrides, the Orkney Isles, and the Shetland Islands are part of the British Isles, and also part of Great Britain, and therefore part of the United Kingdom. The Isle of Man is part of the British Isles, but not part of the UK, it is a "Dependency of the Crown". The Channel Islands are not technically part of the archipelago that forms the British Isles, they are closer to France than they are to England, but they are also dependencies. The other dependencies (which are not part of the British Isles) are: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St Helena and Dependencies (Ascension, Tristan da Cunha), South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands. ^^^ I nicked that lot from a web site because I couldn't remember all of them, OK?
How about you providing evidence about your "Chomskyites" accusation?
No, my point is not that the US should go after Saudi Arabia, but if there are some individuals in S/A that are responsible, then they clearly have a case to answer. Inflicting destruction on whole countries is not the way forward. BTW, perhaps you would like to inflict pain on the whole of the Czech Republic for allowing the (alleged) Atta meeting to occur? Peace, Andrew.
So if I kill 29 innocent Americans every few months, you won't mind? Yee-haw! OK, so obviously I would take GWB and 28 of his cronies. Awww, shit, that lot wouldn't be "innocent"... Damn...
Wooo---hooo! We kicked them Iraqi towel-heads! we ripped 'em new assholes! I got myself a choice piece of Iraqi pussy too! When will these people learn that the it's the US's way or the highway? What's that? That's not a bomb... [pulls out Fat Boy] This is a bomb! Die, you slitty-eyed Nippy scum!... Axis of evil... MY ARSE!
1,100 innocent people. Innocent. Do two wrongs make a right? I got married recently, and frankly, the idea of you lot bombing a fucking wedding reception makes me incandescent. Not one of the 9/11 perps was from Afghanistan. Not a single one. You dropped food aid onto minefields. Fucking nice of you, that was. You idiots wouldn't know humane if someone bayonetted it into your "ass"es. I fear for your souls, Peace, Andrew.
"And people who claim to know the will of God aren't?"
You are making one hell of a straw man argument here. All of the muslims I know are perfectly reasonable, in fact thoroughly decent people. They don't go around inciting religious violence. They complain about their leaders a lot. In a similar way, I don't have a problem with US people in general, but I do have a problem with the leadership. Please, if you are interested in the truth, in humanity, go and find yourself a muslim friend. You will be a better person for it. Peace, Andrew.
There's an interesting issue, though. How do you know if the indicator is working? The safest way would seem to be to have the indicator always illuminated, and go off if there is a problem. That way, if the indicator itself is faulty, you are able to be conservative... You stay on the ground, check the indicator (and its supporting wiring/circuitry), and if it's ok, fix the real cause of the problem. However, LED's (pretty much the longest lasting light sources) last around 100,000 hours. That's within the expected lifetime of an airliner. Also, lights are easier to notice if they are usually off! I am interested in what happens... Which way do the lights work? Do they have to be replaced occasionally?
It's not just propaganda, it's plainly true. Personally I think that drug sales should be decriminalised, but seriously, there is a whole spectrum of criminal underworld stretching from petty crime to terrorism. Drug sales are a pretty major part of the underworld economy. Afghanistan's opium production... Lovely...
It doesn't work like that. You pay 10% on the first $100, then 20% on the remainder. Therefore you would pay $10.20 tax. And I think you meant $20.20, not $20.02.
Sometimes people moved away from usenet because it was effectively already dead. It only takes one kook to destroy a newsgroup. The SNR drops a little at first, but the real damage is when the regulars try to "reason" with the idiot. This only makes it worse, and within a few months there is almost no on-topic conversation at all. Moderation helps a lot, but it can be abused. (Well, it is abused, a lot...)
Well, I have a clue, and I almost never have memory leaks. Some of my colleagues are not so fortunate. I'm a bit of a fan of garbage collection because it removes the problem (almost() completely. But will that make them better programmers? Probably not. Will it matter? Well, they will have no memory leaks I don't know. Discuss?
Just out of interest, what drug(s)? Alcohol and cannabis, for example, are a bad combination. Here we call the result of that a "whitey"... Because you look as white as a proverbial sheet. Probably because your whole world is spinning, you have a five second window to get to the toilet before you puke, and yes you look kinda white. Can't say I got the red and blue shit though, so maybe you have a recommendation?:-}-~
We have had this in the Microsoft runtime library for umm... ten years or something... What can I say? I can't remember it not being there! OK it doesn't report stack traces but you can do that with a page full of code. Or get BoundsChecker. Welcome to the 21st Century! I can see a troll moderation coming on. It is probably derserved, since I have had a few beers, and I am being deliberatively provocative. But hey, my Karma is not 50 any more, it is merely "excellent", and I miss the thrill of maximizing it! In our world, we are moving towards garbage collection. It rocks. The simple truth is that C-style memory allocation is well understood, sub-optimal, and obsolete. Well honed algorithms beat brute force in almost all cases... The cache performance of a good garbage collected system is... The way of the future! Discuss.
13.2g having "been measured to the nearest 0.1g" would mean an actual value of between 13.15g and 13.25g, so I fail to see how the last digit could have been a "3".
I agree, if it is OK to "share" music and ignore copyright restrictions, it is OK for me to "borrow" GPL'd source and stick it in my closed source software. An interesting conflict for the usual/. crowd!

>"aiming for 50,000"
What? Evidence?
>"a civilian killed"
Nice that you compare your 3,000 to their one.
>"if you insist on doing everything by comparing numbers without context"
Perhaps I did not make myself clear. Comparing numbers doesn't help anyone. Two wrongs do not make a right. Did you not learn that in kindergarten?
"you need to consider how many fewer Afghans have died of hunger or of disease due to US food-aid and vaccination programs there over the last year"
Respect is due, of course. Of course, many other nations have done their part.
"by anyone's numbers, its a lot more than 1,100."
But your nation has to subtract 1,100 (or whatever the true figure is) from that, really, don't you?
Peace,
Andrew.
