Not really the main constant in the middle east is war the USA just gave it a little nudge in a derection that served there needs.
The argument that the USA left afterwards leaving them high and dry is moot.
It's not like france stuck arround and rebuilt the states after the revoloitionary war now is it?
The people that the US armed and traned went after them later yes.
But not becase they didn't rebulid the country.
Becase they do retarded shit like suporting isreal(damn terorists).
How does a military objective justify killing of innocent civilians? Would u feel the same way if some army bombs out ur entire locality and u are left in the midst of debris with ur entire family being "the collateral damage in a war"???
Nope but to run the risk of sounding like a 4 year old.
THEY STARTED IT!
Those "ensuing blackouts" that everyone assumes occurred, didn't. At least I never saw one, and I was in California all summer.
I'm wondering if this point will dawn on the republicans before they invest millions in anti-Davis advertising that attacks him for something that didn't happen.
Those Blackouts only happed in deregulated zones.
What is more worrying is that Grey davis and members of his cabinet (did I spell that right?) owned large shares of the power companies that made millions off of the energy crisses.
BTW, talk about being scared: replying to CmdrTaco with my meagre karma, now that is scary.
Just balme it on the beer and the liberals.
Thats what I do.
Now the fact that a man with THAT much hardware got on the plain without a special permit is just wrong.
I guess it's the biggest weakness with a bureaucracy anything out of that ordanary and everything goes to hell.
Well the main difference here is that those innocent were collateral damage in a war. where the people Afghanistan were intentional mass murders of civilians with no military objective.
Didn't know you had internet access in your cave osama.
Though the second half of your name is quite fitting.
If YOU want no more Hiroshimas or Perl Harbors or WTCs then I say "Throw down your weapons and burn all your money". Anything short of that is going to get suicide bombed and terrorized in retaliation for the wars and bombing and innocent deaths.
You first.
We've killed more innocent people, consciously, in the last 6 months than died on the 11th. Do you believe those innocent deaths promote peace?
Well the main difference here is that those innocent were collateral damage in a war. where the people in the towers were intentional mass murders of civilians with no military objective.
The saudis have like 60% of the known oil.
They are not in danger of running out this century.
Also the Prince and the higer ups stay in power by controling the wealth.
I'm afraid that while plastics have made great strides in impact resistance, for sheer maleability (sp?) of impact and ability to stay in one piece, alloys in use today still win hands down. I wanted an ibook. I lusted after one. Then I picked one up and played with it. No thank you sam. Give me something that's gonna survive daily duty in the back of a pack or the bottom of a briefcase.
Good point exept. We don't know it's going to hit Atlanta all we know is that's it's going to hit Georgia.
Mind telling me how you plan to evacuate Georgia in 48 hours?
Nonetheless, astronomers maintain that constant surveillance is necessary to identify more killer rocks in our neighborhood and ensure that none take our planet by surprise, in particular those traveling near the blinding light of the sun.
What's the point if an asteroid is going to hit what are we going to do exactly?
Perhaps a liquid cooling system.
What would be really cool is if you had clear tubes and a special die in the water that changed colors by temperature.
For those who are still doubting their worth, I once tried tripple booting Win98SE, RH5.2, and BEOS 4.3...everything went great for the first day, but when I woke up the next morning my Master Boot Record was hammered beyond repair. I didn't know about SuperRescue back then (did it even exist?) so I ended up having to boot from a DOS 6.1 install disk and do a format/MBR and work from there. I've never had a repeat of losing the MBR, but I've also never been without the boot disks just in case.
If you had a redhat install floppy around you could have stuck that in and typed: "vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1" That would cause you to boot the kernel on the install floppy and use/dev/hda1asyou root partition.
Thanks for the info, but some of us like to keep hardware in service until the magic smoke gets out(for environmental as well as cost reasons), and a decent boot floppy is an integral part of that.
You shouldn't have to get all new hardware to read a cd even my OLD 486 sx/20 could do that.
Plus a cd is AFAIK a LOT more reliable then a floppy.
Cool I guess.
All I know is that the I can just beraly rember the last time I use a floppy for anything. What I do remember is swearing under my breath the whole time about how slow it was.

Check his uid thats not the real CmdrTaco dude.
Need I remind you. There's no proof that his electronics would have posed a danger to anone else.
Need I remind you there is know way that they could have known that they were not a bomb.
Just balme it on the beer and the liberals.

It's official These April fools have gotten.
You know traditionally Aprilfools ends at noon.
To bad I bought a TiBook.
...
Oh wait mines better.
Cool looking though.

Ummm TiBook?
Hated Far and Away. Age of Innocence as well. Don't get me started on Sweet November...
You actualy saw Sweet November?
On Purpose?
They should try to get some funding from the XFM people.
Since they are all paranoid about 802.11.
Evacuate Atlanta?
Good point exept. We don't know it's going to hit Atlanta all we know is that's it's going to hit Georgia.

Looks like it's time for a new rig. I'll get:
What would be really cool is if you had clear tubes
and a special die in the water that changed colors by temperature.
I wouldn't be using the room it takes up anyway.
Well you can. It's a standard 3.5 bay you could mount a harddisk in that.
Fair enough I didn't even know you could still buy floppies. ;)
Yah I know SuSE is my favorite for desktops.
It's definitely the BEST kde in distro too.
As opposed to trying to find a specific CDR in a huge pile of them, in less than 10 minutes?
I was talking about BLANK media all of my blank cdr are in the packadge right next to my desk.
In some cases these machines are $20 from a garage sale.. why spend $40-$50 on a cdrom?
If your spending $40-$50 on a cheep cdrom drive your getting ripped off.
How often do you do a memory grep to search for in-core strings? I do that on a daily basis, and it is very reassuring.
You know there's help for people with OCD
