Present your results to the memebers of a classified US military project that helps us to fight the terrorists. This is the best option. You get your research read by the people who really matter.
Congratulations, you've just shown a fundamental misunderstanding of how scientific progress happens.
Presenting it only to the US military will result in errors not getting caught by peer review. It'll mean each individual research team has to re-invent the wheel in their research, instead of building on other teams' experience and results.
Not only that, but many researchers have to show that they get papers published - having no papers published = dead career.
What France did was protest when the US governent lied to its people and invaded another nation under false pretenses.
Alternative View: What France did was protest when the US governent [sic] invaded another nation that France was making a nice profit with by violating sanctions.
Well, that started around the time the took the God that this nations was founded on out of the schools, work place, and every public place around.
Well, let's just become a Christian theocracy then! I mean, it obviously worked for Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and all those other wonderful places...
How can we expect people to be "good" when they dont even know where those princables came from!
Teach them to be good people by example, instead of by saying "if you're bad, the big boogeyman in the sky will make you suffer".
My government teacher worked as a store security guard during the summers, and he told us many amusing stories of people who thought like you seem to.
My favorite one: The mall he worked in was across the county line (half the mall in one county, half the mall in the next) and some shoplifters thought security guards couldn't pursue across it. One such person got a rather rude surprise when he got across the line, stopped to taunt my teacher and got tackled by his 200+ lbs. Heh...:-p
You'd lose an illegal search and seizure lawsuit, most likely. You went into the store, which is private property. Not only that, but the fact that you're wearing a device specifically designed to jam their anti-theft devices is enough cause for suspicion.
Same reason airport security can search every person as many times and as thoroughly as they wish, but the police can't come to your house and do the same w/o a warrant.
Never got a single virus in five years of using Outlook - I only just recently moved to Mozilla Thunderbird for the spam filtering.
Honestly, any user with an ounce of common sense can use Outlook perfectly safely. That e-mail with the pidgin English and the.vbs attachment? Don't run the attachment! Simple enough...
Then, "featured site" does NOT mean ad, it means sites chosen by MSN to get shown for some search term. D'oh, that's exactly what this story is about: Microsoft "featuring" anti-linux sites as top results.
All well and good, but a "featured site" isn't a top result - it's a link MS places above the top results.
I'll readily agree that Google's way is much better and more obvious, but the point stands that MS's "Featured Results" aren't part of the actual search, and so the article is at least partly inaccurate flamebait.
It's as stupid as Macintosh limiting their iTunes outlet to Mac-only customers... Similarly, is anyone going to drop their Win/Lin-tel box and plunge into the world of Mac just to buy music that they can get elsewhere?
If Apple didn't have plans for a Windows version of the iTunes Music Store already, you'd have a point.

I'd like to see citations for ANY of the claims the parent poster has made.
Claim: We had terrorist attacks around the world both before and after.
Claim: There was war before and after.
Please check CNN.com, MSNBC.com, FoxNews.com, etc. for references.
The Executive and Judicial branches cannot legislate, only the Legislative Branch.
So, Kennedy couldn't have legislated anything.
The technology existed. It hadn't yet been applied in a large scale. Or are you saying that the technology for rocket engines didn't exist in 1961?

Insightful?
Most states consider marijuana posession to be a misdemeanor, usually punishable by a relatively small fine. Hardly "10 years in the pen"...
I shoot targets, not animals because deer aren't doing anything that bothers me.

Whereas the targets did... what, exactly?

Supposedly the Challenger astronauts survived the explosion and may have been killed only when the mostly-intact crew cabin hit the Atlantic Ocean.
When youre a lone player going to the lan, its wise to join up with a good team.
Mod that +0, Obvious.
(I thought the best strategy was to join up with a bad team...)
Nope - they're illegal because the cell phone area of the spectrum is regulated by the FCC, whereas the frequencies used by RFID tags are not.
Plus, you're not interfering with things you already own if you walk into Walmart wearing the device.
What happens when 5% of your laundry says "warm" and the rest says "hot"
Laundry machine beeps and displays message "are you sure you'd like to do this?"
Next question?

And it shows.

I'm going to have to disagree strongly with ya, hehehe...

They do sleep, they just sleep alone. ;-) joking, joking...
step2) Start using Mozilla or Opera or even better Thunderbird and Firebird (in this step you disable IFrame and OCX viruses)
<iframe> viruses haven't been a problem for years - I'd get dozens a day when I was still using Outlook and never had a problem.

No one disputed the MSN India site - they were disputing the main MSN Search site results at http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=linux&FORM=SM CRT.
Wow... inaccuracies in an article on Slashdot that make MS look worse than it actually is?
;-)
Sheesh, it's like the Twilight Zone!

I do believe that's the first Soviet Russia joke I've ever found funny... good job! :-p
Half the profit, not the entire purchase price.
If they make a profit of $0.10 on a $10.00 bag of coffee, Mozilla gets $0.05, not $5.00.
