If Hasbro is like every other bean-counter-based business, it demands 10-15% growth year over year from its subsidiaries, otherwise no bonuses for executives. Perpetual linear growth is not possible in a finite market, but that doesn't stop the parent company from squeezing the sub (in a decidedly non-sexual fun way)
Ok now show me, on the doll, where the bad bean-counter touched you...
A lot of people in the United States think that the United States is some shiny, happy land where nothing bad ever happens and where the good guys are trying to save us from ourselves.
There, fixed that for you...
I mean not even the Israelis really believe this...
Only if the Constitution and the law applies. The Constitution doesn't apply on Government work-grounds to those employed by or contracted by the Government, so schools may be exempt.
Soooo... a school employee could rape a schoolgirl and this would not be a crime in the USA?
The only answer that might actually exist to this is that it arguably costs less to implement. So in reality, it's not that there's no business case of IPv6, it's really the case that these businesses are just cheap.
I think that from the perspective of most business owners you have just defined 'business case'. Ie 'cheap'.
I don't understand why that would be subject to censorship. True, it's disturbing and it is motivated by a political agenda, but it doesn't seem to fall into any of the prohibited categories (violence, child pornography).
Er well one assumes that the foetuses are classified as children and are photographed naked?
As I understand it, this U2 was 'shot' down by an unarmed, manned, Soviet interceptor not a SAM.
From wikipedia:
"In 1996, Soviet pilot Captain Igor Mentyukov revealed that, at 65,000 feet (19,812 meters) altitude, under orders to ram the intruder, he had managed to catch the U-2 in the slipstream of his unarmed Sukhoi Su-9, causing the U-2 to flip over and break its wings. The salvo of rockets had indeed scored a hit, downing a pursuing MiG-19, not the U-2. Mentyukov said that if a rocket had hit the U-2, its pilot would not have lived.[19][20]
Though the normal Su-9 service ceiling was 55,000 feet (16,760 meters), Mentyukov's aircraft had been modified to achieve higher altitudes, having its weapons removed. With no weapons, the only attack option open to him was ramming."
and whether it would be considered that Tibetans actually killed more Chinese of other ethnic groups last year (see Lhasa riots) than Palestinians killed Israelis.
Or how about that the ratio of Israelis killed by Palestinians compared to Palestinians killed by Israelis?
That would be about 70 Palestinians for every Israeli...
Isn't that like using gravity to explain the effect of gravity?
Would it make you feel better if, instead of the demonstration being done on the surface of the Earth under gravity, the demonstration was done in a centrifuge in a space craft?
Ie it isn't gravity thats deforming the rubber sheet, its 'centrifugal force'?:)
Yeah I don't think thats what the war was *about* though...
I think it was a bit more political and egoistic than most wars.
One rationale has it that Germany didn't invade France because they wanted the coal; they thought that they (Germany and the Austro-hungarian empire) were about to be attacked by France and Russia simultaneously so they acted in self-defense.
This reminds me of my idea for a new generation of Reality TV.
What you do is you offer people a brand new TV, cable, satellite, an 'all they can eat' plan for all the content they could ever want.
On one condition: they have cameras in their house and they will be on the new Reality TV show. This show is one of the highlights of the 'all you can eat' plan.
Ie: "Sign up for this plan and you will be on TV!!!!!11111"
My prediction would be that millions of people would sign up in the first weeks of the plan.
In this way everyone gets to monitor everyone else.

Beyond Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only valid use for nuclear weapons
Are you saying that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were *valid* uses of nuclear weapons?
If so have you ever wondered, of the people who died in those attacks, how many were children?

Ok... Microsoft has a point here, but what other corporation is there to single out _but_ Microsoft?
True.
What the world needs is another, alternative, operating system from a different convicted monopolist!
wow brilliant!
Why was it banned? Is the mousse carcinogenic or something??

I swear Obama is trying to get assassinated
A agree.
He does come across as a bad little President who won't do as he is told.
I wonder if Obama actually believes that he has any real power?

That was great right up until:
A Klein Bottle has zero volume, so we suggest that you do not use it as a personal flotation device.
Damn. These things are practically useless!
Also how much beer can I put into a Klein Bottle? NONE! IT has ZERO volume! :(

The U2 was rammed by another aircraft, not shot down.

A simple Google search for Fyodor qmail exploit should do it. Its not hard to find references to.
Well yeah, I am amazed!
When someone (Fyodor iirc) found an exploit in qmail way back, Dan was in complete denial and was quite disingenuous about the whole thing.

This is something that could be cracked by motivated law enforcement.
"motivated law enforcement"?
Is that one of them thar "oxymaroons"?
That's the problem. You shouldn't use rouge on your routers.
I think that a rouged router would possibly be overly promiscuous.
No wonder problems like this can spread like the clap in a port town!

I've been setting up LVM and software raid at install time since Etch.
Were you running Sarge or something older?
Wars are always about control over resources

You don't send soldiers to battle untrained and unarmed.
Hey, the Soviets did that all the time!!
Something about winning wars by drowning the enemy in the blood of their soldiers...
Brave New World has been done. Give it a rest.
A Brave New World movie? Did it have the scene with a bunch of children being taught how to play erotic games like 'hunt the zipper'?
Now that would be radical in this day and age...
