Does it calculate 2 futures, one where it is kept running and one where it is turned off to conserve power?

You are saying the executed women support the Talibans.
You are saying that 'all Germans were responsible for Hitler' - including the ones that were killed by the Nazis.
It follows from your arguments that everyone in the occupied territories in Europe actively supported the Nazis just because they allowed them to exist.
Afganistan has been ruined by (externally funded)war for 20 years and now most of it is controlled by the oppresive regime of the Talibans. The people of Afganistan have suffered far more than the US and far more people have been killed directly and indirectly in Afganistan than the few thousand people in the USA.
Exercise some taste where you post your racist and idiotic flames please.
and no I'm not arguing against taking some action against Bin Laden or any of his allies, just against calling all Afgans guilty.
I do (its got Ikea legs though) but firedoors from skips are a tad cheaper than the desktops in IKEA, and you don't mind as much when you drop your soldering iron on them.
Wouldn't chewing gum give some protection against this?
It would give them plenty of exercise to the teeth and jaw muscles, and might well be popular (most astronauts are American now and so presumably like chewing the cud).
OTOH the gum might also come in handy for fixing things in the ship and or holding things down in zero g
think of the sponsorship deals... the Wrigley's Orbiter etc
I never upgrade it and never will, until the perceived risk of not upgrading it is greater than the risk of upgrading it.... A) If I don't upgrade it might go pearshaped in future and need the hassle of reinstalling... B)If I do, the upgrade will be hassle (possibly not much), and will probably go pearshaped as I do it, and is probably just as likely to go wrong in future.
This is how I and I expect most ppl regard windows and so adopt the policy of if it ain't *too* broke don't fix it.
So I still have win-95 (but spend most of my time using Gnu/Intel/Bsd/Perl/RMS/GOD/Anyone-else-want-credit -here/Linux)
I deem my windows 99% secure 'cos I use it less than 1 hr every 4 days.
I thought the SkyCat looked a more promising project, the proposed prices for the cargo looked good.
Predicted transatlantic freight costs were:
$1 a kg Skycat 40 hrs
$3.50/kg normal air freight
60 cents/kg boat 10 - 25 days
The most effective way stop the spread is to destory them all. If all susceptable machines are put down, preferably permanently, then the worm won't spread.
Thats what our beloved Tony has done to all our livestock, so it must be a good plan. Foot and Mouth was decided to be so important the Govt ignored the law so...
Or should we just wait for some malicious little hacker to trash all vunerable machines for us.

Yes I know this is off-topic but it is in a good cause.
