See also sibling comment on the training of the dogs using Russian tanks. This was particularly an issue because the Russian tanks ran on diesel and the German tanks ran on petrol. Dogs have a good sense of smell...
In addition not all the charges were remotely detonated, in I thought all the charges were triggered by the dog standing up. If they were remotely triggered, training on Russian tanks would not have had such disastrous results.
Is there any method to filter out all stories posted by a particular editor?
Zonk posts the vast majority of all trolls, flamebait and innaccurate stories. I'd hope that he might be somehow disciplined or even fired but I think that is too much to hope for.
FWIW I've been thinking of subscribing however the quality of Zonk's work makes that unlikely.
Well, sure, a laptop in a docking station is basically a desktop, except that you have to pay far more for the same thing, making the whole exercise seem rather pointless.
Except you can take it with you and use it: - on the move (trains, planes etc) - out and about (cafe's) - it is a laptop, which you may need if you say do demonstrations to customers on-site
Actually having just gone from a thinpad (T41) to a macbook pro (15"), I can say that thinkpads (at least of that era) have better hinges. The screen doesn't wobble as much.
War is violent by definition. The way to end war by winning it. The winner is one who is better at killing the other side. So in a way, this plane ends wars. The quicker you end a war, the fewer casualties are the result. This war machine is a life saver (especially our own!!)
I'm coming the conclusion that the point of view has brought the US to lose it's most recent significant wars. The emphasis is on training people to kill rather than training people to win the war. Remember that killing people is only one way to win a war and if it is the only way people have been trained, that is what they will use. This leads to create civilian casualties and PTSD in veterans coming home.
No, the use UDP and it is the appropriate protocol. I guess that was a nitpick with the comment.
A brief description: TCP - connection oriented and fault tolerant. A TCP packet is sent over an established connection. When a TCP packet is sent, the reciever confirms that the packet has been recieved. UDP - connectionless protocol. No connection is established for packets to be sent. No confirmation is given that a packet is recieved.
Implications of this are: - UDP can send data faster, but you are likely to lose some packets. - TCP can send data slower, and you are unlikely to lose any packets.
All that said, there are some cases where TCP is better than UDP. If you don't want to lose a single packet (eg serving pages of HTTP, where the loss of a packet means a corrupted page) TCP is the better protocol. If the loss of a single packet does not matter than UDP is better (eg a control system which is sending constant adjustments like move left, move right, where the loss of a single command does not cause issues because there are constant adjustments).
Applying all this to VOIP, the loss of a single packet (or more) means you lose a bit of sound, which isn't much of a problem. On the other hand latency is a big issue in VOIP. UDP is better for latency (no overhead for the connection, no confirmation etc). Hence VOIP generally uses UDP (although they may have a control connection over TCP).
So my nitpick was that the loss of a single packet is to be expected over UDP, given the nature of the protocol. However the loss of a large number of packets would be an issue.
What have they screwed up besides the unreasonably high price? I wouldn't want them to scrub the PS3 and start over, the replacement would just be MORE expensive.
Where to begin...
Hardware: - cell was a bad decision. Multi-threaded programming is an order of magnitude harder. Oversimplifying, the more cores, the harder it is. In addition the cell had poor yields (due to its complexity), which increased the cost. Much, much more could be said about this. The short version is that they picked a fantastic chip for the datacenter but was less than ideal for a console. - blu-ray was a bad decision. They assumed that history would repeat itself and that people would buy the thing for the Blu Ray (similar to the PS2). This further increased the price
Marketing: - arrogance: "You will work yourself to death to own one" - general poor delivery/communications management
Business: - the force feedback on controllers (not licensing etc) - loss of exclusive titles
The problem is not the addictive properties of nicotine. Nicotine withdrawal is about three days of feeling lightly dizzy and suffering concentration problems, then the physical effects of addiction are overcome. The problem is that smoking is habit-forming, and it is the habit that is hard to kick, not the nicotine addiction. Most of the problem is that most quitters that relapse don't actually want to quit, but try to because of social or financial pressures. With insufficient motivation to kick the habit, it is easy to relapse. Hence a relapse rate of some 95% for smokers.
This is an issue for many illegal addictive drugs too.
I have a relative who is hearing impaired (although not deaf). In that community there are people whose hearing is better than hers who do not want to be "cured" (eg hearing aids cochlear implants etc). We do need to be careful. Some people see their disability was a blessing.
Name one British battleship (i. e. not a lightly-armored cruiser) sunk by the Japanese.
The Prince of Wales, one of the most modern battleships of the British Navy. Technically the Repulse was not a lightly-armoured crusier, it was a battlecruiser (somewhere between a cruiser and a battleship).
Heck, outside of Pearl, name one American battleship sunk by the Japanese.
The fact that Japanese didn't sink any more US battleships is more a comment on the disparity of force between the two sides (better/more ships/planes).
What I'd like to know is what it takes for an editor to be fired.
It's reached the point where I'm noticing that every troll article, every inaccurate summary and all the spelling mistakes seem to happen on Zonk's watch.
Take this for example. Linking to a well known troll/apple fanatic, who has been known to game Digg to drive articles to the front page.
In addition, in a lot of these cases, subscribers comment in the article that the wrote in to correct the issue (inaccurate summary, troll or spelling) but the article goes ahead anyway. Sure this happens with other editors, but not anywhere near as much.
Why does this come up again and again? Google has an internally tweaked OS. That is a completely different thing to a consumer OS.
I work at a small software company, with 2 full time programmers and one part time tester. Even at that size we have a custom built process and custom patching tools but we aren't going to release these. This is the same issue for Google but scaled up. If our company grew say maybe 100x I could see us rolling a customised OS with some custom code.

Actually, it's a huge stretch, because the bible doesn't say that at all. It says that Jesus was killed by Roman soldiers. Granted, there was a crowd cheering them on, and given the location, we would expect that most of them were Jewish. But the crowd likely also included Romans, Greeks, and assorted other visitors to the area who were there to witness a colorful local entertainment event....
In reality, it was the local Jews, including Jesus, who were the victims of the Romans.
My comment:
it is quite clear that the Jews (or more precisely a subset of the Jews, in particular their leaders) wanted Jesus dead. Pilate quite clearly did not want Jesus dead ("I find no basis for a charge against him", Jn 18:38), but had Jesus executed under the threat of civil unrest.
You then said the other gospels differed from John. I then posted quotes from the other gospels that said substantially the same thing. You then suggested I had taken these out of context (without saying how). This is a convenient way to ignore the content.
Your original comment is incorrect. Your later comments have not been argued.

Does that all make sense?
In which case they should not have been using UDP. What you meant to say was a number of UDP packets dropped resulting in unacceptable quality.
What have they screwed up besides the unreasonably high price? I wouldn't want them to scrub the PS3 and start over, the replacement would just be MORE expensive.

Proposing is one question you should only ask if you know the answer.
However you can blame AT & T for their reaction to that.

YMMV but I clear all history each time I close the browser. But yeah the FF history does seem to suck.
Some reasons to use firefox:
1. Extensions
2. Extensions
3. Extensions
My personal list. IMO if you write code for the web and don't use firefox you are a masochist.
...and made amazing sums of money supplying those wars ...
That covers pretty much the history of the first 50 years of the 20th century.
It crashes
A colleague at work tested it against some recent code we had written (heavy javascript, valid in all other browers). Crashed every time.
Feature-creep included talking about Democracy, and WMD, realignment of oil interests, etc.
Strictly speaking I think those were not so much feature creep, rather they were how it was sold to the US public.
