And I'm sure he's staying up real late every night with a cup of coffee and everything working on this too. 'Cause if it's one thing that John Ashcroft wants, it's to protect the right to have an abortion.
Not very. Air vector chemical/biological weapons are a tremendous bitch to get right. 500 feet up and the wind currents will spread that anthrax load over a huge area, which may sound dangerous but if that means that five bacteria fall in a given square foot then the worst that's going to happen is maybe one person is going to get sort of nasty flu-like symptoms. Delivery is the big thing with air vector weapons. Remember the guys who dumped sarin into the Tokyo subway system? That's a (mostly) enclosed system, and millions of people are in it at any given time. Twelve people died, although there were thousands injured. How did this happen? Well most of the sarin was blown into the subway tunnels (you want it in the terminals), and what was left had to spread out over entire terminals with high ceilings and expansive platforms. And Sarin does eventually become inert.
Terrorists aren't going to have a "field day" with the light sport plane category. There's just too many problems with air-based WMDs, and too many easier ways to blow someone up, like rental trucks.
I remember clearly where I was when it happened. We were hanging out in the computer science club room at the local university, discussing some meaningless thing or another. Suddenly the room goes black. I can remember looking out into the hallway and seeing nothing. I've heard that panic had broken out in some places, but we knew that it would be a minute or so before the emergency lights kicked in, so we just kicked back and made jokes about civilization coming to an end. At this point I didn't know that it was so widespread, I thought that it was maybe a local outage. So we waited until the emergency lights kicked in, and then we vacated the premises. Half an hour later I was on a bus back home, and it wasn't until I had hit the bus terminal that I learned of the scope of things.
God was my mother in a panic!:) She was worried about looters and rioters, but we were tucked away in the suburbs and besides, our town was too small to have riots!
Anyways, that's my version of events, and I'm sticking to it.
Thanks to SCO, it looks like we have a new trend developping. Any time you want to rip off GPLed code, and you get busted, simply deny deny deny, and then turn around and level the charge that YOUR code was put into THEIR project! What better way to get code for free and get away scot free?
Quit yer bitching people, you haven't begun seen tax.
I live in Ontario, Canada. Not only do we have the federal 7% GST (Goods and Sales Tax), but we also have 8% PST (Provincial Sales Tax). They're both applied. That's 15% people! And it applies to just about everything, food included. No, I'm not terribly happy about it.:(
Don't you see that you're doing exactly what he's claiming? You found two apparent contradictory stories and you're bending over backwards trying to reconcile them. You're adding new stuff to explain things just so the Bible is still perfect. It'd be the same thing if a fairy came by Judas' hanging body, waved her magic wand, and turned him into a field.
There's a possible supposed off-chance hint of a rumor that Iraq may or may not have some aluminum tubes that may or may not possibly on the off-chance could be maybe used to build rockets that may or may not hold nuclear warheads, of which we have no evidence Iraq has or is even close to building? Bomb them to Kingdom come! More funding, damnit! Mobilize all our resources into the Gulf! Pull out all the stops, we will stop at nothing to achieve our goal!
The progress of humankind? Meh, we don't have the time or money for petty, dodgy stuff like that!
First these people have to endure losing and replacing an entire NOC in a fire, and now their new webserver is linked to directly from the slashdot frontpage. Haven't those poor server admins suffered enough?
Thing is, Microsoft has distribution centres worldwide, as well as dozens of manufacturing centres with manufacturing equipment that can stamp out hundreds of WinXP and OfficeXP CDs a second. Red Hat doesn't. Basic rule of manufacturing: Manufacturing/purchasing in bulk costs less per item. So the final cost per WinXP CD is far less than the final cost of the latest Red Hat distro. Thus, by all logic, Microsoft could sell WinXP for less money than Red Hat. The reason they don't is because, by looking at the article, it seems they need all that extra cash to support all those failing, yet competition-stifling ventures.

Simple. Destruction of government/private property (police surveillance cameras vs. private security cameras). It's a novel way to do it, but that's what it boils down to.
That having been said, the point this guy's trying to make is that we're under way too much surveillance in our society. I like his message, even if I'm not quite ready to face criminal charges to back it up.
Why? Duh, if MS is seen as having a competitor then the two things that could possibly bitch slap them out of existence are pacified: The DOJ and the average consumer. The DOJ drops it's case, and it gets to tell the consumer that all the competition just makes it's OS MORE stable and MORE useful. Which is a lie (behold the power of XP) but the average soccer mom isn't going to notice that.
It is NOT irresponsible. It's scientific fact. Right now, today, if the entire of planet Earth were to consume resources at the level that we in North America are, to adopt a more "American" lifestyle, it would take three times the total sum resources of the entire planet to sustain us. Thus, right now, if the Republicans succeed in Americanizing the world (I'm Canadian but we're practically there already), we'd need three planets the size of Earth to sustain us. At our growth rate, it's not entirely inconceivable.
Sometimes you can't let old UHF bands get you down. Sometimes you have to take your WiFi cards and scrub that wasted bandwidth real good. And if that doesn't do it, you gotta get down on your knees with a laptop and wardrive really really hard! And if that still doesn't clean up that bandwidth, well you can't give up! You gotta stand up, run to the window, and yell out THIS NETWORK IS LAGGY AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
For a while he was doing this Canadian science fiction series (Psi Factor) and he was pretty good in it. It was a shame when he left the show. Sure he's had crap roles (AKA Lawnmower Man 2), but this does not change the fact that Matt Frewer is God.:) If the rebroadcast ever does lead to a NEW, IMPROVED Max Headroom (never happen, but hey, we can hope), I honestly hope they cast Mr. Frewer as the lead again.

Yes, that's sarcasm.

So I can finally, after all these years, play some head-to-head Gianna Sisters deathmatch?
