To even stand a chance of a treason conviction you would have to be a sworn member of Al Quida involved in an operation against the United States. Congress meanwhile has not declared war so even given this I'm not so sure you couldn't beat a treason conviction.
Julius & Ethel Rosenberg
Got a clue? It's all about the circumstances. The law is intentionally vague.
Perhaps what will make this a big story is simply the fact that we're out there, and we're looking at it.
A baby's first steps aren't very interesting in and of themselves, but they're exciting none the less because they're the tell-tale beginnings of greater things to come.
What you may not realize, is that BZFlag is a take off of the classic wire frame arcade game, Battle Zone. Primitive graphics just keep it close to its roots:)
Nope, the reason is that warfare fills your mouth with food and your pockets with money. The rest of your comment is mostly trying justify yourself that you're a great guy and you're doing things necessary for the humanity.
This is quite an assumption. You're assuming that his actions and justifications (which you seem to decry) are soley driven by his ability to profit from them. In other words...that he is exibiting predicatable, base human behavior, driven by profit. This is interesting, since that is the exact observation used to espouse the sad inevitability of war.

Actually, Tomcat isn't an Apache plugin. Tomcat is a stand-alone server that can also be configured to support Apache for serving up Java web applications (which Apache cannot do on its own).

How Tomcat Works

Tomcat is a Java servlet container--that is--basically a web server that serves up Java servlets, JavaServer Pages, etc.
It can run standalone and also serve static files such as HTML pages/graphics, etc., or it can be configured to stand behind a web server such as Apache and only handle the servlet and JSP requests that are passed to it.
I don't even know why I'm replying to this. Science has never been more than conventional wisdom based on observation. Throwing math into the mix doesn't change that fact.
Scientists (astronomers) for thousands of years believed the earth was the center of our universe; not simply because they were religious bigots, but because that's exactly what they saw--the planets and stars making circles around the earth.
Galileo simply saw more, and therefore knew more. As time passes, we also will see more.
Salary carries the following definition (Websters)...
fixed wages, as by the year, quarter, or month
And in relation to origination of the term--set amounts of salt paid to Roman soldiers, the idea of overtime pay doesn't really even come into the picture. Overtime pay and salary are opposites.
I'm not saying that people shouldn't be paid for overtime; I'm just saying that accepting a salaried position is, well, just that. In this case, I think the Republicans are simply viewing and treating "salary" by its definition.
While what is quoted here...Truth is often indeed subjective... is absolutely correct, the rest just doesn't follow--at least to me.
Science changes--sometimes drastically--over time. How full of ourselves we would have to be to think that just because a particular point of view doesn't make much sense in the current way of thinking that it won't be scientifically preferred down the road.
Science has been dramatically wrong in the past. It will be again.
Hmm..."C)" (about people thinking Kerry is less of a lier) is a great point--except that it's wrong. See the Opinion Dynamics poll as reported here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,135932,00.html
In brief, this October poll found that a majority of Americans believe Bush to be a better leader (morally and otherwise), more likely to keep his campaign promises, and more likely to be honest and open with the public.
So then you're saying...his ignorance wasn't feigned?
No problem here with an expresion of frustration, no matter where it comes from. But when its expressed as a valid argument while suffering from caustic generalities and poorly applied quotes--well, anyone intelligent enough to be reading slashdot should recognize it for what it is--a troll.
Actually, I would be considered representative of the religeous right, and I can say that the poster is doing nothing more than throwing generalities against a population segment that he doesn't understand, and choosing to do so by quoting a book that he obviously hasn't read much of--or if he has, has chosen to quote selectively.
The blocking isn't necessarily stupid, but the parent post is a bit ignorant. Hate to break this to you, but if an absentee voter hasn't already mailed off his ballot, he's most likely too late anyway. The impact with overseas voters will be minimal to non-existant.
I hear a lot of people say things like..."$1000 each year for eight years is $8000, and this other product only costs me $6000 up front so its cheaper..." Did this guy's calculations take into account the time value of money?
Financially, money now is worth a lot more than money later. To truly compare, you would have to take the money saved up front on the OOS and place that in an intrest bearing account until its actually needed--thats about 6 years of interest by your calculations before any of that money is needed to continue to support the OSS solution.
If time-value wasn't taken into consideration, then the OSS would likely be actaully cheaper even according to your own estimated costs (which most folks here think are a little high.)
I really wish more people would take the time-value of money into account when siting TCO numbers. Didn't any of these engineers learn this stuff?
...no solid equivalents for popular...software packages on Linux...Mozilla is still unreliable...StarOffice is still nowhere close...
This is just plain crazy. Moz1.0 and OpenOffice1.0 are both incredibly solid, full featured, and more than acceptably compatible.
I run a team of programmers who have to submit pretty documents to a company full of folks who use nothing but MS; we run Linux for development purposes and have zero significant issues going back and forth between Word and OpenOffice1.0.
Bush in office has little, if anything, to do with Microsoft's behaviour. Your emphasizing of Microsoft's timing shows a lot of insight; however, your last paragraph just shows ignorance.

"Science" of the past has included such quaint ideas as blood-letting. In it's heyday, no one questioned its validity.
Which current understandings of medicine, physics, or geology will be considered "quaint" in 100 years? 1000?
