Just an aside, but wouldn't it be clearer to talk about "free as in freedom", instead of "free as in [free] speech"? I think the idea of "free as in speech" can be confused with "talk is cheap"...
My point applies regardless. The FAQ essentially says that "we allow only humans to give specific authorization to kill people, because only humans can determine the difference between friend and foe", but the US's use of land mines (which kill friend and foe indiscriminately, even long after a battle) contradicts this principle.
Do you have any evidence of that? Various sources (such as this one) seem to suggest that the U.S. still uses land mines:
The use of non-self-destructing antipersonnel mines is permissible until 2010 and then only in Korea. The use of non-self-destructing antivehicle mines globally will be allowed until 2010.
...
The United States last acknowledged using antipersonnel mines in 1991 in Kuwait and Iraq, scattering 117,634 self-destructing/self-deactivating landmines mostly from airplanes.
That hardly says much. Consider the same thing, with a few words replaced:
Does the Army use its land mines for offensive warfare? No.... Since land mines cannot discern the
difference between enemy and friendly vehicles, or enemy and friendly personnel, it would not be wise to give that kind of decision authority to a machine.... That decision is always left to humans.
Heh. This is from the header of basically every file. (Emphasis added).

Hmm. If Linux became a GNU project, would GNU-based distros be called "GNU/GNU Linux" or "GNU GNU/Linux"?

Ever heard of SSL? PGP? S/MIME? They all use(d) MD5 at some point.
Let's hope there's no dead-man's switch on that radio!
As much as I agree with you about Perl, have you ever tried to write *correct* PHP code? Far, *far* worse...
Yeah, because wine works on PowerPC machines...
Ever try mmap()ing a file over NFS? Always have a Plan B.
Hmm. Do you know of any decent high-level statically-typed languages?

Ever heard of memory protection?
Yes, but given that they have limited time and resource (everyone does), I'd they put them toward documentation.
You call Monkey.B "the good old days"? I remember the Lamer Exterminator!
Anyways...
On Debian, there's a script called grub-reboot that lets you do this. It basically does:
Dial the number of the fire department?
I'd even be happy with ridiculous speed!
Heh. This is from the header of basically every file. (Emphasis added).
When is Foobar coming out?
(Note that it's not *actually* the same attack.)
So it's the same attack.
Oh, wait...
The sooner we kill this ".xxx" domain idea, the better.
IIRC, you can configure your server to do the compression once per file, instead of every time the page is served.
