After almost 8 years in the Marines (got out in '98) and another 4+ working for the Army Corps of Engineers I've never heard of the ASN. I don't doubt that it exists, but to say that someone couldn't have served and not been familiar with it is just wrong.
Maybe you should tell that to the people who were freed from Nazi camps after the US decided to go to war. Sometimes peace can only be found on the other side of war. In reality if you wait for others to do the right thing there's a good chance the right thing will never be done. How many times in the US have we found children being abused by their parents and when asked the neighbors said "For years I've heard strange noises and noticed that they never let their child leave the house, but it was none of my business." Ohh. One last thing, the last time I checked we went to Bosnia without UN approval. When the UN puts countries like Syria on the "human rights" council the UN renders itself irrelevant.
And I've never seen a law that forces any network to use public airwaves. If you have a problem with the rules you can always give back the spectrum you're using and become a strictly satellite ot cable network.
Maybe if all you're using is HTML then yes, but when it comes to Oracle and Java plugins plus the security software that is needed for encrypting and signing communications things get much more complicated.
Not sure where you were but the DoD has lots of web based systems that use special plugins to access them. Where I'm at we have CEFMS, APPMS, RFMIS, REMIS, VIMS, RMS, EBS, etc... We use several different versions of Oracle's j-initiator as well as Microsoft's and Sun's Java VMs. Netscape won't allow you to pull up adobe reports in APPMS (maybe that's an adobe issue, maybe it's not), the function keys don't work in CEFMS using Opera, the Oracle j-initiator needed for VIMS doesn't work at all with Mozilla, I can go on and on... Testing all of these systems using every different combination of OS and browser would be a very daunting task so making every user have the same environment just makes sense logistically.
I do exactly the opposite. My linux box is my toy. I use it to surf and check my webmail while my XP box is being productive (someone's gotta serve all that spam.) That's not a shot a linux. I'd actually love to learn how to do more things with it but the few people I know who have any linux knowledge have the social skills of month old meatloaf.
I've never used a mac before so I'm not sure about specifics, but I would suggest going 1 step further and creating a hidden partition to hold the image and then just making a boot floppy that automates the whole "restore" process. I did that with my company's training room and after each class I have the instructor boot each machine with said disk and we're back on the domain with the original config in about 10 minutes.
We've seen how well the state controls energy prices out in CA. And don't tell me the state deregulated the market because the energy companies were not allowed to raise rates without the governments approval.

I love how the media labels people. I didn't read the article but I'm guessing that they didn't put [advocate for higher taxes] next to the names of proponents of more regulations.

But isn't polar ice more than 50% air and isn't more than 70% of the ice already below sea level? If that's the case then we're still looking at a net drop in sea level.
If I have a glass of ice and I fill it with water until the glass is almost overflowing and then I wait for the ice to melt the water level goes down because the ice was comprised of a lot of air. What would make the melting of the polar ice any different? From what I understand the longer ice takes to form the more air is trapped, therefor polar ice should have much more air in it then the stuff I make in my fridge. Where is my logic flawed here? ice
"What sort of company is this? It pays its employees more money than it makes from what they produce?"
Sounds like the government to me. Actually, most companies spend more on payroll than they make in net profits.

Thanks for that insight Mr. Gates.
Would it help if I said he was French?
If it's meaningless then why don't all the networks just move to cable and satellite?
And I've never seen a law that forces any network to use public airwaves. If you have a problem with the rules you can always give back the spectrum you're using and become a strictly satellite ot cable network.
Kinda like creating a new OS and giving it away in an attempt to drive Microsoft out of business.

I was under the impression that the FCC is trying to take the option out of broadcasters hands by taking back the spectrum they're currently using.
Too bad we're not just talking about HTML.

You're right. It's so much easier to support every possible browser/OS combination.

How do you know he wasn't one of the 6 people who actually bought a 'super" floppy. Those held 100 or 120 Megs I think.
I always said that safety was over-rated anyway.

"I just hate how much maintainence it requires" It's all relative. As someone who supports a large windows environment I see it as job security. =)

That's why I suggest we all grab shovels and start digging up the cable companies lines that run through any property that's owned by the taxpayers.
