"Would you rather have armies that are equal in strength fighting it out or one army grossely overpowering fighting a weaker army. Personally, if the goal is to minimize casualities all around, I think disproportionate armies save lives since the war is over much quicker. "
The point here is that if everyone is roughly on the same level, then one side is LESS likely to initiate a war in the first place.
Here's a situation for you, the US has already got the most powerful military in the world and you're still getting attacked on a regular basis.
So tell me again, how will exoskeleton legs stop another 9-11 or an Iraqi style roadside bomb?
On your WWII front, we probably would have radar now, perhaps a number of years later, but with much less death and devastation. I'd rather wait a bit and not have war if it's all the same to you.
I think the fact that it's anonymous removes any concept of personal responsibility.
If all of these fine upstanding child pornographers thinks that what they're doing is a good idea, then let them use their existing powers of free speech to campaign for it. Anonymously spreading sick pictures via a computer network is not analagous to free speech, no matter what you think.
Would you be happy to stand up in court and say that you were running software which set your computer up as a server for a network which you were fully aware had illegal content on it and you knew that there was the possibility that you'd be storing this illegal content locally?
I'd be interested to see how that turned out. The normal argument (you don't know what's on your disk at any one point because it's encrypted chunks of a mixture of files) sort of falls apart when you've admitted in a public forum that you're well aware that you could be hosting child porn.
I'm sorry you don't find it to be true in the real world. I develop JSP/Servlet java on a windows 2000 box and deploy it to red hat linux. And every time it works exactly the same on each of them, so I would say it is true, at least in my experience.
It's not the language, it's the libraries that are important and which microsoft have got control of. At leat with java you've got the JCP which is more open about the future of Java than anything coming out of microsoft.

Just a question, how do you know whether it's Java running on the server?
Was actually on brass eye. Near enough the same thing though.
"georgraphy"? What about spelling?
The difference being though, that my PC isn't going to kill anyone if I don't know how to use it, whereas thats a lot more likely when driving a car.
"If someone else killed him, I would feel like partying, wouldn't you?"
No, not really. Civilised people don't celebrate murder.
"It's every person that is naive and incapable of independant thought. "
Including you?

Hey Mr Technical Ability, about this.....". Can you imagine Linux asking you if you really want to rename a file with a different extension?
"
You do realise that would be the shell, or whatever desktop environment you'd be using that's asking that, and not Linux?
I'm sure the kernal couldn't care less how many times you'd been asked before it actually did the rename.

So by that logic, the UK should be after the extradition of every single IRA sympathiser in the US?
So what, you acknowledge every developer who originally wrote any part of what constitutes Morphix when you distribute it?
No?
Didn't think so.
You are joking surely?
Who on earth is that a good thing?
So when was the last time you audited a russian government project, just out of interest?
Society isn't a computer and the legal system isn't a program.
Here in Britain with our universal health care system, we've got exactly what you're asking for. NHS Direct

What, does Visual C# come with a spell checker? I can see how that would help with your development time.

It's a more established framework and a lot more cross-platform.
There's a lot of congecture that the story they're telling is actually linked to mormons.
But can't even .net applications have access to unmanaged code, which means that there's still the possibility of security problems?
Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I'd imagine.
I know he'd never do it, but would it even be possible? I'm sure I read somewhere that all that exists of it are dodgy taped off the TV videos?
PS: Gotta love the wookie porn.
