I think that translates to them wanting to "rule" space all by themselves, uncontested.
That aside, a war in space is probably rather unlikely, instead it might be a war supported by satellites and the like. And that bit about China is rather funny too - how many nations are capable of warfare supported by orbital equipment that also contend with the US for domination of the planet?
Please excuse me asking, but how on earth are you gonna pay the postage for every complaint, seeing how there seem to be 1000s of really stupid patents every month?

Them guys do it correctly, according to their own rules. They spell it resume and uber, without accent or umlaut dots, respectively. Get used to it.
With all due respect, we europeans might not have made it to the moon and back, but space travel ain't alien to us. In fact, we have plenty of experience with it!
Granted, some of them very pretty bad, but hey...that's how you learn, innit....
And just what do you think those use? Xlib implements the most basic functions, and every widget library uses it. Just ldd your favorite widget's libraries...
...you happen to be running one of them intrusion detection systems that keep all those "interesting" ports open to see who might try to connect there. I guess u can forget about that in that dorm...
Ok here is what you should do: calculate how much money you need to cover your costs, plus a little extra for the fun things in life, and that's your price. Make it a monthly thing.
Hourly rates wouldn't work because nobody could pay that much. And I'm sure that company would not want to accept anything where the amount of money is so unclear as in this case. Also you'd have to keep track of hours, and all this paperwork ain't for us programmers, is it.
Also, with a set amount of money, you yourself can better work. You know what you have and can concentrate on your work. And if they don't accept this form, the idea you named is the second best I guess, the goal based one. In that case, don't forget to apply the magic formula to calculate how long each part takes:
Sign up with mp3.com, they (vivendi) sell addresses
Sign up on p0rn sites for free "porn in your mail", they'll sell your address and spam you to hell and back
Put your address on websites so the address spiders get it
Sign up with a small, free service that uses bigmailbox.com as service provider and have the mail relayed to your real account
Sign up on dating sites
Be sure to click the unsubscribe button in each mail
Be sure to use a html-enabled email client, as some spammers put little 1x1 picture links in their mails so as to get an instant verification that the email address is valid - more spam ahead!
Imagine someone reading this faq item, rejoycing that they finally found out that it means "press ANY key" and they load up that favorite applications of theirs they could never use because they didn't know what key to press, and they start to massively pound the shift key.
Makes you wonder. From a UI designer point of view, it doesn't make a lot of sense to give the user such a superuseless choice. Why not just ask the user to press ENTER? It's much simpler, and the enter key is hard to miss... There really is such a thing as too much of a choice for dummy users:/

Ok Mr. Brain Monster, kindly let me in on how RFIDs can be used to fight illnesses or terrorism? Do you want to implant a tag into every person that looks sick or like a terrorist so as to better seperate them from other people?
And... marketing opportunities? I thank you very much, for I really do believe we don't have enough marketing all around us yet. Sure, there's a gazillion of ads on tv, on billboards, in newspapers, on the web etc. etc. pp, but hey, you can never have enough...
Immersive environments? There's GOT to be something you absolutely need RFIDs for but alas..I can't think of anything... Wanna help me out here?
Recycling? The problem is not identifying different materials, if that's what you're implying. The problem is seperating them and recycling them in an efficient way...
I do agree this list can be enlarged for a lot more unpleasent applications. And just as a sidenote, if someone's mentioning possible problems with new technologies, that means they just might have learnt from past experiences!
They started to block the site somewhen on tuesday I think. Reports vary, some say that only port 80 on that one IP is blocked, others say the whole site is unreachable.
Luckily, the affected ip range encompasses only one class C network. Of which.11 seems to be the only address actually in use.
Perhaps someone should contact ARIN and ask them about their policies for such abuse (ordering a class c and only using one ip? that can't be legit)...

Wonder if they would care for my mind, seeing how I'm not a US citizen ;)

My trusty old Plextor 6-Plex 6x SCSI CD-Rom.
I use it to play audio cds. I don't even have a SCSI controller anymore...
Did I miss something? Have I been in stasis for the last 3 million years? Has the world changed totally?
Or are those guys just totally clueless about "alternative" browsers? Sad. Real sad.

it seems not very many people are using the bit torrent link... I'm only getting 8 kb/s ack.
It might just be me, but just perhaps not many people here want to use BT ;)
Everytime they fsck up, it's a virus. Convenient excuse, isn't it? After all, every average Joe by now has had encounters with virii.
Of course one might say that virii are almost extinct nowadays and that what the average Joe thinks is a virus is really a worm, but oh well...
Who's that guy? Here in .de land i could just return the cd if there was no indication that it's copy protected.

Contagan, anyone?
Don't tell me, I already patched my BIND ;)

Not maybe, absolutely.
As for me, I only trust people as far as I can throw them. Ever tried to throw a whole company?
I think the chain of command is that

Nice thinking, but RFCs are not laws (yet), so that won't stop them. In fact I'm led to believe many ISP employees don't even know what an RFC is :(
