The Export Administration Act (EAA) prohibits export of crypto to (dun dun dunnnn) Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. Presumably windows messenger has some kind of crypto in it so Microsoft is blocking them to somehow cover their asses legally.
lithium can cause cardiac birth defects when taken in the first trimester, so unless they're going to put pregnant women on a separate water system this is probably a bad idea.

Breaking their firewall is really nothing to brag about, it took me about 5 minutes to ssh into my server in the US and apt-get tinyproxy. As far as I could tell they make no effort to block proxies at all.
You are seriously wrong. I was there 6 weeks ago, and it seems that to me that the whole system is driven by butthurt and they p. much filter any site that has ever said anything mean about Iran.
From memory, blocked sites included:
michellemalkin.com - because she says mean things about Iran
apnews.myway.com - because the AP wire service is part of a counterrevolutionary monarchist conspiracy
openvpn.org - because VPN is for terrorists
The really weird part is that there's all this code that allows bodies to melt but it never gets used in the game, possibly it's just a side effect of their physics system? idk
Our President at the time, Jimmy Carter, was also a micro-manager and a former nuclear engineer:
U.S. Navy reactor operators, the sort who served under Jimmy Carter in the 1950s,
Is not and never was a nuclear engineer, much less did he command a nuclear sub. He served as an enlisted man on several diesel-electric subs and started, but did not complete, a Naval class in nuclear engineering. He resigned from the Navy (as a lieutenant) before any nuclear subs were commissioned.
I believed it for the first couple sentences. It's not that implausible, I mean they really are getting a federally funded bridge. And if it was true we could all root for Geithner to sack Ballmer.
Do you know how cows digest grass? Cows (and virtually all other mammals) lack a critical enzyme to break down the main nutrient in grass, cellulose. They get around this by hosting trillions of bacteria in their guts which are able to produce cellulase. The bacteria gorge on the cellulose the cow brings into its stomach(s), and convert it to glucose and energy for their own use. The cow then betrays them moving them to a later portion of their digestive tract where these bacteria are killed and broken down to nourish the cow.
Bacteria react to injury, they remember the past, and they even predict the future. If you buy into the theory that causing pain is immoral then every cow is a walking Auschwitz. (not even to mention the problem of brushing teeth)
By the way, there is no philosophical reason why "it feels pain" is a better standard for deciding whether injuring something is cruel than any other arbitrary standard, see Hume
Even the ATF isn't stupid enough to try to ban peeing without a license.
What makes you think that?? They've ruled that shoelaces are machine guns, ruling that pee is an explosive would be a return to common sense by their standards

"We were looking at a beautiful white-tail buck and my friend said 'If you just had a gun for that.' A little light bulb went off in my head," he said.
I think that's what most people call "having a stroke". I'm just glad the dems didn't take over the senate, or DiFi would be holding hearings on deadly assault webcams by friday.
I'm sure Pixar can figure out how to steal public domain folktales, add in a bunch of "cute" talking inanimate objects miss the whole point of the story, without any help from Disney. Unless they've patented the process, that is.
I read the article, and it turns out that the dreaded North Korean hacker squad hasn't gotten any new equipment since 1985, so they only have l33+ 0-dayz xplz for the C=64 and TRS-80. Also, their only source of caffiene is dirty bottled water with "JORT CORA" written in marker on the side.
It's also surprising that you think a blob that's clearly below the great lakes is in Canada. Between this and the hilarious "eastern russia" comment in the story, I have to wonder if you guys were playing tetris on your palm pilot in geography class.
Gates is noting that Linux is taking over, and claims that 10 years forward Linux and Windows will be the only OSs left in the market.
So basically, MS has been studying OSS for 5+ years, and all they have come up with is "FreeBSD is dying"? They are so out of touch it's not even funny anymore.
I'm kind of confused by these nonstandard units they're using here. How many Libraries of Congress can it hold, or better yet what's the unit ratio for Simpsons anthologies per human genome? TIA.

So basically we've learned that when people advance their careers by committing health fraud, insurance fraud, selling animal-abuse porn, and running pyramid schemes, they don't obey the law. Maybe next we'll learn that when politicians advance their careers by soliciting donations from corporations, they don't act against the interest of those corporations.
And let's not forget Stalin had purged some 80% of the Soviet officer corps for supposed disloyalty. An army with no leadership just can't deal with a complex tactical situation like that. Luckily (for the USSR) many of them were still alive in Siberian gulags and were restored to their positions when Germany attacked.
A couple years back the fan in my comp's power supply went bad and off and on was making a horrible cycling buzz-saw sound. To verify which fan it was, I stuck a pencil between the blades to stop it, and sure enough the noise stopped. Happily, when I took the pencil out again the fan spun back up but the sound didn't come back.
An hour or so later the noise comes back so I do the pencil trick again, but this time the buzz returns too. Thinking that maybe I should keep it stopped longer, I leave the pencil stuck between the blades. I go get a drink of water and start to feel sleepy and, forgetting about the fan, take a nap. Just as I drift off to sleep I'm woken by the loud *CRACK* of exploding electronics, and I rush in in time to see a plume of smoke rising above my deceased computer. By pure dumb luck the short hadn't spread beyond the PS and the rest of the computer survived.
Cassini has picked up an unusual radio transmission from the surface of Titan, message follows:
that's such BS man. first off, do you have ANY idea how close earth is to the sun?? it's HOT there, we know life cant survive above 10C and it gets as high as 40C there!!! even if it has so-called clouds they're much too thin to protect from the UV rays of the sun. so your 'space probe' theory is a lot of bull, the metal thing heading toward saturn is just a meteor. next thing you'll be telling us is space aliens from earth are giving you anal probes.
If you don't like it, you should consider socialism (yup, I'm rather socialistic inclined, YMMV).
Not relevant. Trying to make money by lobbying for laws that outlaw the competition isn't capitalism or socialism, it's called corruption.
People who are feeling threatened, are going to take steps that seem diabolic to outsiders.
An interesting viewpoint. I don't think the problem is whether the threat is real or not though, the problem is that they have been so successful at carrying out their diabolical plans.
I'm sure at the turn of the last century there were buggy-whip industrialists all afroth over the threat cars posed to their business, but they lost. The difference now is that the threatened industry is having a shocking degree of success at outlawing the competition.
Anyway a good reply that deserved a response, even if this discussion is off the front page.

why would anyone want an insulting achievement like that you'd have to be a moron to post in that article
