I live under a brutal dictator and I don't like it. His hobby of trying to take out all the other brutal dictators to become king dictator is not all that sensible..
What evidence do you have to back up your assertion that taking billions of dollars of american killing equipment and staff out of Iraq will cause fewer people to be killed?
I doubt that all the crazy mofos in Iraq with their machine guns and IEDs could do as much damage put together than a single MOAB.
Americans are the most efficient killers in Iraq, remove them and there will be fewer deaths.
I somehow doubt that Saddam took the time to personally torture all 250k people he is commonly cited for. I bet it was people who worked for him. If you can still correctly say that all those people were tortured by Saddam because he did so by proxy, then it's just as correct to say that Bush tortured all the Abu Ghirab and Guantanamo victims.
Here's the solution. Make up a 14 character password with symbols, numbers, upper and lowercase. Then delete chars left to right as necessary to create (or later recreate) a password that does fit within the rules. Max 8 chars? delete chars 0 to 6 and use the remainder. No symbols? delete them. Need a 17 char password? repeat the 14 you have until you get the requisite amount.
My point is - make an algorithm to generate your password based on a memorized input and the rules or site name etc..
People will die anyway. And if we hadn't gone to Iraq in the first place, there would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000 people alive today that are not right now.
It's really fucked up how hard it is to find a casualty count or estimate that even mentions the deaths of anyone not from the invading force.
I think you meant to say: "Isn't it great to live in a nation irresponsible enough to spend without limit on everything it wants or any intention of ever paying off it's debt -- and yet it still keeps getting more credit"
I did exactly that, I and a few friends published a paper when we were high-school age, and I ended up being suspended for two days because the administrators didn't approve of the content. Some reader brought one to class and read it there.. I had put my real name on it because I believed in my first amendment rights and figured I was safe.
I was wrong. The american educational system actively discourages personal expression, at least the part I was put through in So. California. I would not send my kids to be suppressed there.
Suppose a moron deletes all the marked files after all the legal threats from the **AA groups and didn't recognize the windows stuff. Does it totally break windows?
Doesn't this person have a legal case against the makers of the software that told them to fuck up their system? Maybe.. Regardless, it's worth a deterrent force suit.
Find me an XML file that is not already represented as binary data. Oh, not looking so revolutionary now, is it?
Wait, you say this allows xml to reference binary data? I say "href" attribute, bi-atch, look it up.
You say, but no, it allows you to send the binary data along in the same stream / document? Check out multipart/mime. It's been around a long time.
Here's a wild thought. Have the XML file reference it's binary resources by relative filenames. Tar the XML file together with the resources. Now pay me $100,000 in consulting fees.
I can play basic MPGs and tetris just fine, even do some low-quality 3d stuff at playable framerates, with my Rage 128, 8mb. A 9200 may not be top of the line, but be realistic.
Fraternity hazing is voluntary. Those hazed are sometimes humiliated, but they are still probably pretty sure that they were, say, killed, that those responsible would be punished.
Another good point is that hazing is a temporary thing.
So you are saying suicide is never ever justified?
I disagree. Think hostages. Think terminal illness. Think Abu Ghirab. Think cyanide pills for spies about to be interrogated. Think Darl McBride. Think George W. Bush. Think of those self-immolating monks on the cover of that Rage Against the Machine album.
Sometimes, in extreme circumstances, it can be an appropriate and well-thought-out action.
If we're going to kill people for sex crimes, we need to make sure that there are no more sex 'crimes' where everyone involved except the law is happy with the results. I am not talking about statutory rape here, though for cases where the age difference is 3 years that should not be a legal issue either.
I'm talking about stuff like it still being against the law in some states to use or possess sex toys.

i'd hire someone who got fired from google over someone who got promoted at sco any day.
i have been making computer generated art with perl and povray for almost a decade. I've had a couple shows, but haven't really "taken off" yet..
Here are a few samples.

(should have been ".. everything it wants, without any intention..")
Yeah it totally sucks. My favorite memorized password starts with a NULL, but I can't get any sites to accept it!

the absolute uselessness of passwords
They are absolutely useless? Well then, tell me your slashdot password. You have no use for it.

unmarketable things like reliability
yeah, it was sorta flamebait, but that was funny

MPEG is the lowest common denominator. I am talking MPEG2. Then, Quicktime .MOV is the best possible option for mac users.
Please stay the hell away from Real. All of you - the entire web.
Thank you.
I have an alternative: smoke it with them.
