I almost snagged of the empty casings from the artillery it carries (This is not hyperbole, it literally carries a artillery cannon.), but the sucker was three feet high, no room for it in my luggage.
I saw a video from one of their missions. The plane laid waste to a terrorist holdout and runners, but left the mosque that was in the middle of things, untouched.
"I don't know why people don't rebel against this and make faster XML parsers the widely-used ones; for whatever reason, apparently everyone continues using slow parsers."
Maybe it's becuase there are people out there who've written parsers that are "100 fold faster" and don't make them available.
Yes, and though it's not Silicon Valley, it's still freakin expensive in that area. My sister rented an apartment in downtown Chicago for less than a decent apartment costs here.
Nope. The AF doesn't train it's people in basic combat.
Why would they do that? The vast majority of their people work far away from any conflict. Usually with some natural barrier in the way. (Mountains, an ocean...)
Gold: 1980: 1000$
2003: 388$ 1980 was a fluke. But if you go here, http://www.engelhard.com/eibprices/DPCharts.aspx you can look up the average price for gold over the past 5 years. 298$. From what I've heard, it takes a price of 300$ just to break even on gold mining. Translation, gold is barely worth the cost of mining it.
Silver: Are you kidding me? The stuff was 5$ an oz when I was a teen. At the site mentioned above, it hasn't gone above 6$ in the past five years. Figure in inflation and you'll see how cheap/worthless the stuff is.
Nickel: Currently 4.5$...a pound. There was a blip in 1989 where it went up to a whole 6$ a pound! Again, factor is inflation to see these materials are just getting cheaper. Sources: http://www.macsteelusa.com/pro ducts/MetalsUpdate.h tm and http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/me tal_price s/
Palladium: Interesting. A spike in 2001 where it hit 1100$ an oz. Currently 202$. The chart starts out in 1998 at 250$.
Unless you use this chart: http://www.ruralcitizen.com/Price_History/ price_hi story.htm
So, where in the world did you get this idea that these products are becoming extremely expensive?
With one month's rent you could go buy your weight in Nickel.
But why would you want to? The cost of raw materials on the planet have been getting cheaper and cheaper. The only reason to do space mining is to reduce the costs of getting materials into orbit.
Space mining to get materials for things you want to build in space is fantastic. No more soda can thin walls in your space stations.
The leaders that are using the people as pawns just sell the food on the black market. In fact, they starve their own people intentionally to get international aid.
The leaders that don't care about their people: N. Korea just diverts the majority of the food it recieves to it's military. Which is used as an incentive to stay in the military (You won't starve) and to follow orders. Mainly to keep the population subdued.
By sending food to N. Korea you are helping maintain misery and death that's going on there.
By sending food to Africa the leaders are learning "If you starve your people, the world sends you money and stuff."
There is already more than enough food to feed everyone on the planet. The reason people are starving is mostly because their leaders are using them as pawns. (Africa) Or just down give a damn about them. (N. Korea)

6 Dollars? 6 CANADIAN dollars to get phone service to everyone in Canada? The second largest country in the world?
That's paying though the nose?
You're in Canada and you're complaining about taxes? You live in a socialist country!
Sheesh. And if you can do 584 moves per second, then you can do it in a billion years.
What a simple problem.
I was thinking the same thing. But the wheels have been put in motion. At this point it's more productive to make sure things work smoothly.
What about the 8cm CDRs that can fit in your wallet?
How about the C-130 gunship?

It only takes extensive training because they've cornered the market on those skills and made it illegal to practice without that training.
Imagine medical training that focuses on a more narrow range of knowlege.
You forgot the power supply. So it would probably just stand there.
The worst is doing a search for something, and the first 5 hits are actually links to another search page!
Which couldn't find anything.

Or tell people who to write one.
Or even point to a faster one.

Oh give me a break. In your "Glowing Tree" example it would be very easy to contain. It's a freaking TREE.
"Where was that glowing tree when you last saw it?"
'In my yard.'
"Any idea where it might be now?"
'It's, in my yard...see, it's right there. I'm pointing at it.'
If there was a huge "Glowing tree" problem it would take less than a month to cut down the offending trees.
Nope. The AF doesn't train it's people in basic combat.

Oh yeah. What a moron. From what I've read about the Mob and the FBI. They get nailed for not paying taxes!
Moron! Moron! Moron!
I'll list these by the oz.

What? I was in the Air Force and I was never trained to kill people. Heck, I only held a gun twice in my entire time I was in.
Did I miss the "How to kill people" class?

Uh, that doesn't work. Don't you pay attention?

I would expect Dexter's lab to have at least ONE piece of science equipment in it.
Blackhawk down? I must of missed the teary scene. What was it?
You don't understand the server enviroment then. What if they upgrade to 10.3 and it breaks a mission critial app?
The original poster is right, this kind of attitude will keep serious businesses away from Apple in the server room.
They are?
So where can I buy OS/X for the x86 platform?
Or where can I buy "Windows for Macintosh"?
You can't. Doesn't sound like much of a competition.
Just blink for a second and imagine what would happen Intel filed chapter 11 tomorrow.
I guess all those other chip companies would benifit greatly as the market shifted to them. They would grow quickly, hiring many new employees.
Large companies create a small percentage of new jobs. The competition of many smaller companies would benifit people greatly.
I find that there are plenty of conservative talk radio programs out there.
Heh. Ivory tower weasle words. I bet I could come up with 20 statements that NPR listeners would think were true and that Fox listeners wouldn't.
Yeah, go NPR. What the US really needs is to see what we're doing in Iraq in the worst possible light.
