The IRA usually attacked in the United Kingdom. But, when I refer to 'Ireland', I am including Northern Ireland in that geographical reference. I realize that Northern Ireland is legally and technically a part of the UK, but, it is part of the Island of Ireland. (I admit that I am letting some of my own political preferences leak out when I refer to Northern Ireland as being part of 'Ireland').
Also, note that the IRA did not limit it's attacks to the UK/Northern Ireland/Ireland. It also operated throughout Europe and sometimes in other parts of the world.
What do I care if you have 'the complete' list or not?
Uh, maybe we should start over. You said in an earlier post that most terrorist acts within the past 20 years were commited by muslim extremists.. That is YOUR claim. Not mine. So, if you are making such a claim, you better be damn sure you can back that claim up with facts. When you pointed to the Wikipedia article, you at least made an attempt. However, as most Slashdotters know, Wikipedia is not necessarily a trusted source. It is a nice reference, but since anyone can change the entries at any time, you cannot trust the data source.
So, what you have only shown so far is that you are, at best, completely misinformed. The next time you make such a wild claim, then back it up with facts. Oh, and also don't forget one other thing: One person's Terrorist is another persons Freedom Fighter. So, while you may consider a list to be accurate, someone else will view that same list as being completely wrong.
within 20 years and around the world. I wasn't talking about specifically the US.
The last time I checked the IRA operated in Ireland and the Basque Separatists operated in the Basque region of present-day Spain. But, we could go on about other groups:
Aum Shinrikyo?
Communist Party of the Phillipines?
Kach and Kahane Chai?
Kurdistan Workers' Party?
Shining Path?
Revolutionary Armed forces of Columbia?
17 November?
ELA?
Tamil Tigers?
While Islamic groups get most of the press, there are many, many non-Islamic terrorist groups.
Back in WWII the Japanese-American citizens were jailed because of the possibility that they were a spy. During times of war drastic measures are taken to ensure victory and minimize risk.
Obviously, you are just Trolling, but I'll bite anyway. If the Japanese-Americans were jailed in WWII, why weren't the German-Americans jailed? Or the Italian-Americans (at least until 1944)? come on, if we were trying to protect ourselves, why did we leave ourselves open to spying from the two European Axis powers? Oh, that's right, it must have been those commie-pinko liberals....
I am at a contract where we are moving to a chargeback system. I can't wait until it is implemented. It will be so much fun to watch the change in attitude.
So that special little something that you need once a year, but when you need it, you need it RIGHT NOW is tied to the foot of a pigeon fluttering around the warehouse somewhere. Frequency of use does NOT denote importance.
It sounds like you don't pay the IT department for your storage. In my experience, once a department is charged for storage, they suddenly start requesting cheaper storage.
Is there ANY market segment where Yahoo! isn't playing second-fiddle to somebody else?
Actually, this make sense. The technology hurdle to launch this 'business' is not that high and, by simply keeping more eyeballs on Yahoo's site (rather than giving them away to YouTube) it guarantees that the ad revenue stream will not be significantly impacted.
Yahoo doesn't have to be first in EVERY maket segment it goes into, it just needs to be good enough to keep a millions of users on Yahoo-related sites.

I'm a Playboy fan, because nothing in that magazine is fake or exaggerated.
YES!!! .....errr.....NO!!!!!.....errr...MAYBE!!!!!!
Stop asking me all these questions. I can't handle the pressure!!!!!!!
Whew! For a second there, I thought you wanted Gary Sinise as Uhura and Halle Berry as Mr. Spock.
Don't you mean this?
I think Rick Berman's motto should be: "Never Give Up! Never Surrender!"
You forgot:

I am not a rocket scientist, but I imagine if you were to implement your vision, I think the rocket would be too heavy.
I thought about joining that group when I was at Cal Poly, but then decided I was too lazy. Good thing, I saved myself some serious heartache!

I think what he meant to say was that slashdot will post the DUPE tomorrow.
We already have such a technology. It is called a mobile phone.
Lost? Yeah, it's not as good as 24, but it is still a damn good show.

That is a highly subjective and very incomplete list. Contact me again when you have a complete list.

I actually saw the web-site before it went down. IMHO, It was a pretty poor design and we are all better off without it.
That's MISTER disgusting nerd to you.

How about New Coke?
Just kidding. Seriously, I would use Sega Dreamcast as an example.
