Of course, later on, you will find out that the enemy convoy it detected turns out to be a school bus in Baghdad, or even better, some of your own tanks and supply vehicles whose IFF equipment got jammed from the mobile phones/microwave ovens/(insert electrical equipment here). If you can't thrust something reasonably simpler like a Patriot Missile system... I'm pretty sure the pilots of the downed Tornado are laughing at you from the other side.
Last week, about moving 600 Scottish Soldiers closer to Baghdat, Tony Blair (probably historically an unfortunate remark) stated that "they will be back home before Christmas". Oh right, when did I last hear this?
Iraq War is going on after almost 1.5 years. I would call this war "not a short one"...
In ww1 & ww2 both sides were prepared for war, so civilians and military were not mixed as they are today.I'm pretty sure the residents of Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, London and Stalingrad will agree with you.
It is always preferreable not to kill your enemy but wound him, cripple him. Digging a grave probably costs 1$/h, fixing him, looking after him costs fortunes. US and European military is moving towards wounding enemies instead of killing them. Less powerful personal weapons are part of the plan.
On the other hand, how intelligent your platform is, aerial bombardment has always been an outright murder because of the inherent low accuracy. Whatever you do, from 15000ft at 400 knots, you can't judge who is innocent and who is not.
Might be true (what he said) thinking about how American Army is full of non-Americans from Latin America. It is an interesting fact that you don't have to be American to serve in the American Army.
Back in the BBS days, I used to look after a company's BBS system because the original founder (and co-owner of the company) had lost interest in it. We also had a Fidonet-like network. When we wanted to promote this network on a magazine, the other co-owner of the company would make a deal with the magazine and would buy a page or two ad space. Then the magazine would give us a page to write about the network.
It always works like that. Don't forget that SCO/MS also buy ad-space on magazines and revenue coming from ads keeps a magazine afloat, not the buyers. As magazine readers we just buy the ads, the articles are just thrown in together with the deal.
Interesting, same weather pattern was reported in Turkey at 1999, just before a 6.8 magnitute earthquake killed around 40 thousand people (officially little over 32 but still more are missing/buried w/o a trace).
I once broke a door by shouldering it. It isn't as easy at it sounds and this was a quite flimsy door.
Breaking into your own house at 5:30am is no fun, especially the last thing your brother has done before going for a holiday was painting the door and then slamming it shut and lock while the paint is still dry. When you arrive at home after driving 12 hours, you can't be patient. Breaking the door was the fastest route to the coffee can.
Mission creep is important. In London there are three bankers who are fighting against an extradition request. These guys are being handed over to USA because of a law passed in UK after 9/11. This is based on a one-way agreement with USA where UK will hand anyone USA requests but USA will never hand anyone to UK. When this was passed, it was hinted that this would be used against terrorist suspects.
Only after a couple of years, it is used when it is found convenient.
Probably the bankers are guilty as hell, as all bankers are, but I'm not comfortable with handing someone to USA just because someone there thinks they are guilty. What will happen when someone in USA's state department decides that I'm a threat to USA? Will I be shipped over without even being able to argue against their case?
I usually hand copies of Knoppix to people who want to try Linux, telling them this will be the slowest Linux system they will ever get. Many report back that it is actually faster and more responsive compared to their Windows systems: Shows you how much adware/spyware are there on people's machines.
Not like Knoppix and in many cases, not as good as knoppix. Redhat's "rescue" option is a joke. Simple things like lilo corrupt/cannot use grub/kernel screwed up can be bypassed usually with an extra command on the CD boot stage. More serious work like a lost disk which you intend to backup over the net to start again cannot be done (at least) with Redhat's and SuSE's rescue modes that easily.
Knoppix is pretty good at detecting hardware, giving you something to work with. Then it's up to you.
This is what you do: You use Knoppix to boot the box and dd the filesystem onto a network drive somewhere (nfs/smb, doesn't matter). Then you work on the backup image as a loop mount. You never, never do anything on the corrupt disk, ever. This is why: If you screw up, you don't have anything to fall back to. You can't screw up a loop mount or a backup.
If you can't loop-mount it, dd it back to an other disk, then use your favourite Windows NTFS tool, if there is any.
Well, by the time solar weather suits us, BLP will be everywhere and we won't be able to hear anything at all through the interference. Sun is almost down now, maybe I can go and try my luck with grayline but probably the band is already dead.
I installed Centos 3 on a two-way Xeon Dell server, which works perfectly. No license/support costs (and no support of course) but it works fine, running Oracle and Tomcat on one of our test systems. I had the CDs lying around, SuSE SLES8 wouldn't boot out of the box and I didn't have any time to fix it. Works like a dream and stellar performance. I know it is mainly due to Redhat team but I found Centos a very good replacement for it. We're supposed to replace it with the 'company' distro (SuSE) but I can't be bothered with it. Waste of time in my opinion. If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
Yeah, true but I hope they will slowly dissapear to obscurity like XFree86... You support it if you like to, I'd prefer KDE or WindowMaker and friends myself.
Anyway, I'm sure Slackware will never drop GNOME support. People will stop using the distribution in a second!
mmmmm... Why should we?
When I use Slackware, I use it because it is tight, small and fast. I use it because I like compiling my own stuff when necessary. Why should I stop using it because they no longer have something no longer revelant? If I'm using Slackware, I'm already using Windowmaker et al., not Gnome.
IMHO, I don't want sixteen different editors and 10 different GUIs. One good one is enough (fvwm95?), if I need something else, I can go and get it from someone who supports it with binaries or compile my own.
Slackware is not a starter distro, although I did start with it with its very early versions (when you still had to download them on floppies), I wouldn't give it to someone to learn Linux nor I would install it on someone's machine if they intend to use Gnome. Mandrake/Suse/FC is what's that for.
That's why I have multiple PCs for these purposes. One is the desktop machine, stays stable. Applications installed stay installed. Settings, workarea are tweaked for max comfort. Then I have a server box for performance. The third and the fourth boxes act as testbeds. New distros, new systems, new apps get installed here, wiped out regularly.
I'm not rich, I just don't throw away PCs. A Katmai P3 can be slow but it is fast enough to asses new software.

It is even geting better, American Contractors are not using Americans in case they die I suppose but it is perfectly alright to send Chilean mercenaries instead, probably the ones they trained under Pinochet's bloody regime.

If I have to choose bwtween a MS-Word document and Adobe PDF, I'd always choose PDF. xpdf works just fine compared to having MS-crap installed.

Simple: I have a personal problem with all bankers. As Young Ones would say: "Give me more money, you bastards!" :-)
Wait until it hits the max. I better turn my AC now, it's good to be prepared, you know.
Imigod, I slashdotted SOHO but who cares, it looks like no one is reading this story.
Within permissible range (14-9/2=2.5 years max deviation). Nothing to see, please move on.

Same here, with an 3090. Then I started to run my BBS on an OS/2 box and REXX was useful there as well.

Better feign sickness and go home and operate on HF for one last time... I hope 20m band is open...
