Uh, isn't Wikipedia suffering enough from overuse and underfunding of it's bandwidth/serverload...I mean seriously, can't you editors find another site to use as a dictionary?
Too bad I didn't say German. And too bad that German is a race and a nationality. Its not my problem if u assumed I was referring to the German race when i said neither.
Actually it was just the standard practice of using government funds to prop up the economy. The Russians, as every knew, have been fucked since the 1960s. Besides, it was the mercenaries we sent into Afghanistan that bankrupted the USSR (before the Soviets got there, btw), not SDI.
Sell it to arcade game companies. This way when you play the latest hunting or fishing or whatever game, you get all the authentic smell of sea-salt or deer-piss or whatever...
Actually, its not that they're willing to live under it. It's just that Panama has a habit of getting invaded by the United States, who always supports the military, who are the ones with the guns, who run the country. I mean christ, ever heard of the PANAMA CANAL?
a) the 2001 tests did not involve multiple warheads. Meaning that all the tests showed was that if we are guaranteed to hit an incoming missile, we can blow it up. OMG! Explosives that work! (Supersonic missiles hitting supersonic targets have been working quite well for decades now) I fail to see how this is an incrmeental improvement.
b) Our allies are willing to develop the technology, but they cannot afford it. This system will cost, what, a trillion dollars over the long-term? The whole point is that our money would be best spent elsewhere because this technology is just too expensive to develop, with minimal benefits (theres a hundred other ways to delpoy a nuke other than in ICBM form), assuming that is it's even possible, given the number of counter-measures that an attacker could use.
c) About AEGIS: The question of scale is the whole problem. An ICBM, deployed from mainland, China, Russia, Europe, etc, will be too high over the ocean for AEGIS to intercept. And if AEGIS improves, the enemy can just shoot the things higher (say, into space).
Actually, if you remember the tests that were done a few years ago on the new SDI missiles were largely faked. Turns out the engineers just strapped a GPS locator onto the missile, and a GPS beacon onto the target. The funny thing is that it still only hit 1 or 2 out of the 3 missiles. Maybe it will eventually work, maybe it won't. But it sure as hell won't protect a damn thing in this country against a nukular missile attack for at least a decade if not a century.
it is extremly difficult to get away with smoking pot at the Hall. Since most people were stoned silly when playing these games (especially the abysmal post-FF3-US ones) I doubt we will see many/.-ers there.
The bad news is that terseness is also one of the aesthetics.:)
Haha this pleases me. It is a shame how few mathematicians/programmers do not realize that terseness is a powerless goal. You can never be sure if your short-and-efficient program can ever get shorter-and-or-more-efficient. Math teachers must not cover Godel in class any more!
No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't care because, if it ever became a problem, your expensive lawyer would sue the pants off the company. In this manner the rich get richer.
Privacy is only a concern of the powerful and the poor (middle class, etc...anyone who isn't rich).

13.86 USD huh? Don't spend it all in one place.

Its a joke moron. And it has nothing to do with race, either.
...the fascists are at it again.
You obviously haven't seen the classified reports...

What about California?
Well kind of. It's just that the weapons will be used to keep everyone in line, not just a nation or two.

*shrug* You still have controll over the computer. Just load something of your own mnaking before your OS loads the obfusicator. Interrupt 13, anyone?

Rover is picking up hints of Martian Cities made entirely of Gold off in the distance. Spanish mercenaries, get ready!
And so begins the great Martian Salt Trade.

am getting more spam than ever before. Since the spammers are operating out of foreign bases, I fail to see how the Act will do anything.

THE TESTS WERE FAKED! Jesus, doesn't anyone read the fucking news anymore?!

Someone at least please tell me he didn't do any of this sober...
Or sitting in a corner somewhere, drinking away their sorrows.

and its not like the same thing hasn't happened with commercial servers (half-life, anyone?)
