Well. Then I will be even more proud and stay out of Chin^H^H^H^Hthe USA instead of being forced to go there. (Because I'd only go there If someone would point a pistol to my head.)
But if anyone from the US wants to come here until it gets better, because he can't stand it,... then he's very welcome.
P.S.: Id' not recommend the EU, because they are imitating the US very much.
Oh, how bad... he has yellow cake uranium... stuff that - as the article states - can't even be used for dirty bombs... let alone for real fission bombs. But if there's no WMD, then how will you justify killing more than half a million people (according to the Johns Hopkins university) and wasting half a trillion dollar and cultural assets things that will be lost forever.
This stuff is what you will use in a reactor... you know, like the 104 you have in your country, who use even more dangerous uranium.
War is wrong. Always. Period.
The people of the USA are my friends (even the religious ones). Our governments are our common enemies (= "terrorists", "dictators"). Let's work together.;)
How good that in the US, they don't even have to quickly hide the stuff from an inspection, because everyone already knows they have the largest collection of WMDs in the history of the world, but nobody's doing something because he will be bombed by exactly those weapons if he did.
It's a bit like the bully who's feared by everyone.
In a way I hope that China will get strong enough to not have to back down even for the US. If their power were balanced neither one of them could have a monopoly.... (Oh god... did I just find a similarity between Microsoft and the US?;))
Oh, and with "the US" I basically mean the government. Because - face it - without their governments even American, Russian, Chinese, Irani and even French people would be friends (most of the time... there are sport events too;)).
Maybe one time we'll have a world government... to counter all those pesky attempts to have an alternate way of life that is not depending on a monopoly...:\
It's even worse. It's like support for Mandrake Linux used to be: They *literally* mean 1x technical support. Meaning you have one problem. They solve one problem. Finito! How far they go with related problems is their decision, but usually not very far. So don't try to ask them where to click save a file. They'll tell you, and your $19.99 are gone!
Compared to that $70 a year sound cheap.
Hint: Using an open users forum is even cheaper.;)
Even if so, you were the moron for insulting me for it. Get some perspective. The feeling that slashdot can't withstand the flood of retardization from diverse governments gets stronger and stronger.
You mean like the light bulb? Or everything else in this world? I don't say that there are/were many great people and inventions coming from America (some of them from the USA), but...
How was this a troll? It was a joke! And a hilarious joke btw.
Maybe you just did not understand it, or you like to scream "racist" for every joke involving fringe groups. But then you should get some perspective. I heard it's cheap at walmart now.
> by requiring "friends" to be added before messaging.
That functionality was in ICQ since the very first version. It's simple to kow your character by your choice of messenger-client: - ICQ: Pro, uses IM since the very beginning. Most likely uses a multi-protocol client, because not all of his friends are pros, Likes the ICQ network because he's used to have everything and configure everything. - AIM: Too stupid for a real messenger. Does think there's no use for a history or offline-messages becase he never could use them. Allows a maximum of three words per message. - MSN: Lazy default user. Uses IE and whatever came with his computer. Has yet to send a message without at least one of his thousand animated smilies in it. - IRC: Geek who thinks messengers are just bad IRC clones and IRC is already perfect. Lost his best friend because he sent him a html-mail wich even contained an image. This was too much for him. - Y!M: Huh? What? Yahoo has a messenger? Okay, I only know one girl there, so I can't tell... - Jabber / Google Talk: Either someone between the geeky IRC-user and the pro-ICQ-user who upgraded to newer and freer (is that a word?) technologies, or a Mac-user who happens to design websites for a living. Okay, and there are users who choose their client/network by peer pressure.
Go on! Prove me wrong! (Meaning that more than 25% of the users don't fit my statements. One singe example proves nothing.;)
P.S.: If you now want to scream that I have a bias, read up some stuff about physics, human sensors and the brain, and then realize that your "non-biased-information" just happens to match your own bias.;)
P.P.S.: I use Miranda under Wine, connected to IRC, ICQ, Jabber, AIM and MSN... Go figure...
As far as I know, it's far from Gates free. I can't find the article right now, but I said something like, "he is not the boss anymore, but he's still the C?O" or something like that. If anyone has the text...?
I absolutely bet it's your flash-plugin. FF3 dies very often for me, when i walk the history with some flash-sites in between. It dies so hard, that the session becemes useless. on windows and linux. I recommend trying it with flash disabled (=not loadable my the browser!), and when this helps you know the source.

NO! Cancer is just a SYMPTOM of the things that are the (hidden) killers. Like the trash you put in and around yourself.
It's a common mistake that even gets teached in medical schools. The worse kind is people saying "oh, my organ X is the cause...". NO! It's not! It could be a genetic error (e.g. trough radiation or your parents putting trish in or around them), or it can be one of those things causing your organ to fail.
My personal guess is the mix of unnatural chemicals that the body can't handle, but that's used by the industry because you have to buy el-cheapo products, because you're in a constant struggle to survive. This again is not only the natural struggle but an additional system, made to make us all debtors (especially the government), and to gain power.
I say get the power back! But nobody wants to walk the walk to the government and say "you're out! go, or we make you go!", because they fell for the trap of lazy stupidity created by the combination of bad food (e.g. sugars) and bad education.
It's all a nice system to keep you out of control, and them in control. I gave up on changing the world, so now I'm trying to become one of "them"... MUHAHAHAHAHAAA:P
As if there were any relation between what the government wants and what the people want;) Didn't work for communism, does not work for democracy, will not work as long as the interest of the ones governing differs from the interest of those being governed. (Hint: Make them the same and simplify trough automatation --> metagovernment.org)
Guess what... 1. I had such a problem MYSELF! 2. Doctors only recommended life-long drug addiction trough symptom treatment to me. They literally were addictive to the level that gave you "brain-zaps" when you stopped taking them! 3. I solved it myself after years of work and pain, by fixing the primordial cause. 4. I have yet to have my first date because of that problem, and I'm 29. But now my chances are pretty high. because my whole life changed.
Wohohooo... hip hip ho-fuckin-ray! I'm in shame for sitting here and being in full control of myself again! You're so great oh master of knowing-it-all.
P.S.: If I did not know that you simply took your flawed experience and judged me by it, I'd call you an asshole.
I'm sorry to destroy your illusions, but I am a guy, and I am not the only one I know from Europe, who played as a girl in an online game.;)
And I never ask people for stuff, because my philosophy is, that you have a happier life, if you are a "value giver" (that's why I chose to design open source stuff).
I think you can't assume people who don't hound you to be girls, because I certainly don't look like one.;)
Now I just have to figure out why I like to... play... girls.;P
Well, it's like with gravity. The beauty is, that it does not care if you believe in it. You will fall onto your nose anyway.
And so will you, with your statements.
Well, there was ana article about that somewhere, some time ago. The're adding 100,000 servers A MONTH. At that time they had somewhere aroud 4 PETAbyte of RAM. With 8 GB per system. Roughly calculated, this means that they had
~4,194,304 / 8 = ~524,288
servers at that time.
Beowulf cluster anyone? Running doom 3 anyone? (At the usual one black pixel per system (*g*) this would be a hell of a (black) graphics quality.:)

Luckily, the 56k value was bullshit. T1 has 1.544 Mbit/s, which is actually quite good for that time.
