I see you have digested the main point from Clausewitz.
The problem with total war is that it ends in genocide. What do you do when the population cannot be cowed into submission? I take it you are fine with that? You have a final solution for Iraq?
War may be ugly and messy, but that does not mean that we should not try to limit that ugliness. Your argument about ugliness is like saying childbirth is painful, no anesthetics should be used.
Incidentally, please learn how to spell ridiculous. I know that everyone else can't spell it either, but maybe you can.
One of the biggest problems with US foreign policy is it is both bad and incompetent. A significant part of the incompetence is a massive inability to think beyond 5 years. So the the US funds and arms the very people it fights in 10-20 years time. Iraq and afghanistan being prime examples of this. Much of the US foreign policy is causing the US long term harm. Again Iraq is a classic example, squandering the goodwill of the world following 9/11.
US foreign policy should be informed by people who have at least understood a little history. But what do you expect when the president only reads books that have pictures.
The majority of Australia was also anti-war, also triggering what may have been the largest protests in history. There was one protest in Sydney (largest city) that had somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 people, matched by other protests around the country. For reference Sydney has a population of approximated 4 million people.
Little Johnnie Howard ignored it, he wanted the Deputy badge from George.
The only way to grow the working population when the birth rate is low and declining, is to extend the useful, healthy, mentally-able life of productive elders.
No, you could do what everyone else throughout history has done: get workers from other countries. You have the Roman method: slaves, the Saudi method: indentured labour or the less unpleasant method: immigration.
I just replaced my 2 parents computers over the weekend. Of the ~$485 (AUD, which are now roughly equal to USD), $109 was XP Home OEM. The proportional cost of windows is growing massively.
It is uber crazy, it does violate the laws of physics.
Powered by hydrogen means they are converting Hydrogen with oxygen to water. H2 -> H20. But wait their source of hydrogen *is* water. So they are also doing H20 -> H2. There can be no energy gain in that loop, and energy gain is needed to power a car.
Using water as a power source might be possible, but not as described here.

I have quite a few Windows 2003 servers that haven't been rebooted since August 2006
So you haven't been installing the patches. I count reboots in October, September, November, December, January, February, April, January being particularly interesting as the TCP/IP stack was updated. Care to share your IP address? Enquiring minds want to know.
Frankly if you aren't using firefox and you are a web developer, there is something wrong. There are so many extensions in firefox that make web development massively easier. Things like Web Developer, console2, livehttpheaders, that extension that lets you add custom headers (name escapes me). Firefox is better for testing js, most of the time if things work in firefox they work in other browsers (with some known exceptions).
I think you are largely correct, however I imagine that a lot of C is written but compiled with C++ compilers. To the point that people think something like the following is C:
I haven't seen phantom menace. I didn't see attack of the clones. I did see the third one (whatever it is called), that is supposed to be the best of the 3 new ones.
That was crap because: - The script sucked - The characters were wooden and unconvincing. Given that some of the actors are actually good actors (Ewan McGregor & Natalie Portman). That suggests poor direction
SP2 compared to SP3 is not an apples to apples comparison. SP2 added significant functionality, particularly security-wise, which broke poorly written applications by design. SP3 is a rollup patch so that people don't have to download 80+ patches (last time I counted) after a clean install of SP2.
Breaking things in SP2 is acceptable, given the aims. Breaking things in SP3 is not.
AFAIK, most good spam systems involve defense in depth. My suggestions are:
greylisting, which will cause some messages to be delayed, but is a fantastic weapon against spam when used with...
RBLs (see other comments). Pick one that suits. The reason this is so good when combined with greylisting is that messages that have been delayed may well now have their originating IP address one of you RBLs.
Optionals at this point are SPF (requires other mail servers to have the appropriate dns records), checking that emails sent are valid (there are other comments here about this).
Up to this point, you have spent very little bandwidth. All messages that are considered spammy have been dropped. You have also spent very little CPU time.
Next line of defence is something like spam assasin. This can perform bayesian filtering on the email. This is configurable, but generally the best option is to set a header in the messsage, so that client side email applications can filter them out. This then leaves it up to the users to check their own spam folders.
Lastly you could add something on the client, but it might be a little overkill.
All this can be done on a standalone server sitting between your current mailserver and your router. There should be plenty of guides out there for this. Eg this or this.
You know what? I used to think this too. I used to think that design was a waste of time because you can't anticipate the problems that crop up during coding.
I've changed my mind.
If you don't spend any time on design, you often end up coding yourself into a corner. Or you undo a lot of code. I'm not saying that every detail should be planned out, but some design can save a lot of time.
And you are completely wrong to say that re-writing is 10 times faster than writing in the first place.

Minor clarification. Legally speaking it is libel/slander if it lowers the opinion of the other person.
However it is not actionable unless it is both true and in the public interest.
INANL.

For some people that tax is very visible.

Um no.
Burning = oxidation = combining with oxygen (or some other appropriate oxidation agent).
H2 burning is H2 + O2 -> H2O. It is possible that they might be using some other oxidation agent, but unlikely.
It expressly means converting it back to water. BIG TANK ON SHUTTLE is relevant in what way?
Also, unburnt hydrogen and water will not just "combine". Energy is required to combine them, generally provided by combustion.
Can respectfully I suggest you stick to areas you understand? In this case steer clear of chemistry at or above a high school level.
If you still think you are correct I suggest googling oxidation and hydrogen.
And I replied to that poster:

I might be a little out of date but there are 2 C++ elements there, single line quotes and scoping the variable i to just the for loop.
I think you are largely correct, however I imagine that a lot of C is written but compiled with C++ compilers. To the point that people think something like the following is C:
// do something
for (int i = 0; i 100; i++)
{
}
Which means Bush W.==Windows XP, Bill Clintion==Mac OS9, and Bush Snr==Win98/96.
Based on his presidency I'd suggest that Bush W is more of a Windows Me guy.
Wash your mouth out. I paid to see that movie and that is $12 and 2 hours I am a never getting back.

I'm going to read some more reviews before I make a decision.
I'd be mildly interested to know what your criteria for a good movie is.

Nah, I think DNF is targetted exclusively at the Phantom.

Why not? You've been electing them to the executive and congress or years, this is the logical progression.
I love American solutions to problems: The criminals carry guns, we'll combat this with *more* guns.
Sounds similar to that old adage: XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it.
