Cash has no predevined purpose, you can do anything with it, laws of physics/thermodynamics/etc. not with standing. Hell for a government it's just a number on paper, not even restrained by a physical representation. So "You gotta do what you can with what you got." becomes anything you want. If you choose to waste it then it's wasted but there was no predetermined path of that dollar into a sink-hole.
How about you guys try for, I don't know, Universal Healthcare before throwing money at something so wasteful given that education, healthcare, and scientific reasearch could all better use that money.
So when can they expect to see you down at the Army or Marine recruiting office? Get yourself a rifle and get your ass in the grass grunt, err sand. OH you're taking your share of the glory for sitting on you're ass state side?
Great, so are you then by your own logic. You are supporting forces which have invaded two, count them, two soverign nations.
Now afganistan is a gimme I figgure, hell even I gave 'support' for that one, several of my friends have gone/are going there. Canadian Forces Reservists who voulenteered if it matters.
So now we both deserve to die for the actions of people who are acting with out our consent on these issues, or at the very least without our informed consent.
To the people on the otherside of your big ol' stick you are the "Civilian" giving support, aid, and comfort to people 'invading' their land. I'm not saying that having troops stationed in foriegn countries with that governments consent is an invasion as such but some take it as such. So now I'm back to "If they're not with us they are against us and deserve to die", if you are able, IF, look at 9/11 through that lens puts a different perspective on it. Your land is threated, by something that may be completely fictional, you strike at a target that is designed to instill fear of your awesome power, you kill mostly civilians. Are they right? How can you still be?
If this was ment to be 'funny', I'm sorry but I didn't get it. Then again I try not to end jokes in "deserve to die".
Very simple, if go for 101 you won't bring it below 100. I didn't mean to limit the military by size or by not giving every soldier a rifle that shoots 3000 rounds per second and slices through even the heaviest of armoured vehicles with ease.
I just see no justification for weapons which aren't even targeted against enemy soldiers but rather enemy cities, packed as I mentioned, with CIVILIANS.
And beside who are they going to nuke anyway? Don't think Al Quaida has a capital.
Yea and that logical thinking stopped the army from invading Iraq how? You should really be seeking to limit, with in reason for a national defence force, these peoples power. Not encouraging them to build weapons designed to inflict massive civilian casualities. Weapons designed with the sole intent, of destroying entire cities, women, children, combatant or not.
The DVD sales were in all most likely a great part of the reaon there will be a movie. I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't think of it as $35 wasted, just a really expensive movie ticket, that you have to buy again for $15+. Actually just think of it as $35 wasted;)
I know there was something about and agreement between fox and Universal(was it?) about no more tv. Damn I got my hopes up for about 10 seconds when I read the headline, but no mention of new eps. Damn again.
All aspects of business can suffer this fate. It is not as much a software problem then a "We've spent the money, try and get something back with/from it" problem. Everything a business does costs money so everything can suffer this, even free open source software. You've confused gratis free and libre free.
I for one welcome our new artificial dumb military overlord.
SGT: Ok so when I say go everyone up and run across that field.
PVT: You mean that field right there?
SGT: Yes.
PVT: With the machine gun on the other side?
SGT: Yes.
PVT: The one thats been shooting at us all day?
SGT: Alright let's go.
Well at least it'll be artificial.
There really is nothing quite like sitting at dinner with an American girl explaining to her dining companions, all or almost all American, what a bunch of heathens we are
So how did you enjoy comming along on my date with your mom.
As a student who has switched to OO.org I have not had one problem with the word processing I do. Granted this isn't anything with insane layout requirements. I am able to export to word format to send email to friends who proof-read and open theirs when it's my turn. I don't use speadsheets to much but everything is simple enough for what I'm doing, I haven't tried to go back and forth from excel however.
The thing I love best is the built in PDF exporter, makes it so much easier to send out documents I don't want altered other then at the mester-copy.(Eg, they can't just fire up Word and type away) That's just me being picky though.
I haven't had a problem with it at all in practical use, but I'm hardly a power-user when it comes to office suites.

In korea only soviet old people run OSXi on handhelds.
Oh come on, golf is about as much sport as chess. ;)
Also it may be relevant that I could really go for a bag of potato chips right about now.
Actually it's basicly the same thing if you are going to use some kind of "love gun" mind control ray deal. It just plays differently in the PR world.
War is just the process of forceably making your enemy love you, current methods however involve the the death of the target individual.
If you call any of your doors the "hole" you might want to get your contractor to come and fix it anyway.
You can't argue with history.
Spoken like someone who has never studied history academically.
noobs
Oh never mind, I stand corrected.
PS: is that you prof?
Well at least your email will be read with more regularity than your slashdot comments.

Microsoft is trying to make everyone as virus prone as they are!!!

Come to Canada, bring your guns. Turn to face south and wait.
Repeat after me.
I will not take large quantities of methamphetamine and halucinogenic drugs and post to slashdot.
This may even help the other zealots. I smell a reasearch grant!
Choke our rivers and roads with your dead eh? Fair enough if you wanna.

How did you manage to type that AND get the little bot test guessing game right?!
I'll have some of what he's having.
You still haven't proved it.
