    Not necessarily:

    Israeli soliders in tank takes out Hamas terrorist camp - Palestinian casualties guaranteed; Israeli casualties not guaranteed.

    Palestinian terrorist takes out bus full of schoolkids - Palestinian casualty guaranteed, Israeli casualties guaranteed.

    Therefore, the use of *themselves* to blow up Israelis leads to a factor that increases their casualty numbers which is not present in the Israeli figures.

    Yes, yes it is.

    Hi, How do you set up your software to do real time mpeg4 encoding?

    I'm archiving a lot of my old videotape, and looking to do it quickly. At the moment, I capture from video into FCP, edit it up into what I want, then export via Quicktime, which takes considerably longer than real time. If I could get it to do real time it would speed up the process considerably!

    I'm on a dual 800 G4 with maxed out ram. Any pointers would be helpful!

    Cheers.

    But all the projections for Xbox pre-launch were based on te original PlayStation business model. Come in hard, fast and agressive and corner the sucker.

    I unfortunately can;t find any quotes at the moment, but it was a big part of the pre-launch hype. And it just hasn;t happened.

    To quote the AC (in case you ignore them): From Symantec: Linux.Slapper.Worm is a family of worms that use an OpenSSL buffer overflow exploit to run a shell on a remote computer. Each variant of the family targets vulnerable installations of the Apache Web server on Linux operating systems, which include versions of SuSe, Mandrake, RedHat, Slackware, and Debian. The worm also contains code for a Distributed Denial of Service attack. More than 3,500 computers have been observed performing this activity, according to Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System data. This includes computers located in Portugal and Romania, where initial reports of the worm originated.

    Ture indeed, there's stuff so small up there that even NORAD can;t see. That documentary impressed me though, and thinking on it further, I am sure NORAD tracked all the debris of the shuttle itself as it broke up. Grim, I know :(

    But they certainly have the technology to do it.

  16. Re:NASA... on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just saw a Discovery Channel documentary on Cheyenne Mountain and NORAD the other day and the NORAD officer they interviewed said that they track every object in space, all the debris down to stuff the size of a washer. When a shuttle mission is planned, they plot a 10km by 60km box around the shuttle and help NASA out with a flightplan which means that no object intrudes into this space. In the history of the shuttle it has had to manouver something like 7 times to avoid debris tracked by NORAD.

    I opened my eyes, and I saw that the Palestinians are a bunch of murdering terrorist scum. I would suggest watching this film. On top of that, they have the gall to award and praise a cold blooded murderer.

    No, in the opinion of my open eyes, the palestinians are deserving of neither support or having their intolerant fundamentalist brand of terrorism sponsored by misguided liberals such as yourself.

    Are the files in your backup?

    You should see in your "i Photo Library" folder in your Pictures folder a bunch of folders with just year date titles like "2001", "2002" etc.

    Inside these folders are further folders denoted by date (either when you imported the pics into iPhoto for the first time, or by when the photo was taken if they were taken with a digital camera). If you dig down into these, and find the photos that iPhoto has lost, then just fire up iPhoto and reimport the photos from these folders using File > Import in iPhoto then navigating through the folders to the pictures.

    If those dated folders in iPhoto Library are not there then your backup messed up somehow :(
