Writing a one-sided article is a perfectly acceptable for a journalist. You are confused with "balanced reporting" but that has nothing to do with journalism. (hint: "reporting")
Besides, enough USA-sided articles have been written.
Sure, first it was the WMDs Irak had (and there was NOTHING potentially about it, when listening to Bush or the rest of the gang). Then it was all about the those deep ties to terrorists in general and Bin Laden specifically, turned out to be nonsense, as well. THEN it was all about saving the Iraqis from Saddams prisons and torture, of course the US started torturing itself. So, NOW you say it's about those 500k civilians Saddam killed. Well, that number is rubbish, in reality it's somewhere between 200k and 250k, BUT let's assume you're telling the truth.
Ok, Saddam has been in power since 1968 (when staging a successfull coup), that's approx. a kill rate of 14000 a year by Saddam. And because the number of (reported!) civs killed since 1 may 2003 is somewhere between 22k and 25k, _your_ kill rate is 12000 a year. Pretty close, eh?
The United States could even learn something from Saddam.
"I thought we were supposed to get a choice between browsers!"
Yes, but it is supposed to be your own choice based on your own criteria. You are allowed to be swayed by somebody else's opinions, but we all expect you to still use your brain.
So, if i tell you Gecko is crap, i'm not pushing for less browsers, but i am explaining to you why you should not use Gecko. And i am explaining to you the reason to make the choice for a different browser.
And if you are swayed by me, good for you. If not, i probably wasn't clear enough, or you just didn't understand me.
"integrating their services and products was probably too great a hurdle"
"Either that or the combined company was horribly mismanaged"
Yes, both. Altough it could have been a marriage made in heaven!
At this moment in time, big media and the internet do not mix easily for obvious reasons. When AOL made the merger with Time-Warner, AOL was hoping for a huge big load of content and Time-Warner was hoping for the mother of distribution channels. But as we all know, up till now there has not been a definite solution for online content distribution. At least, i have not seen it yet. So AOL and Time-Warner never had a chance to "consumate" the marriage. This split doesn't supprise me at all.
But, because those diff patches (deltarpm's they're called) are made against a specific rpm, you'd have to use SuSE rpm's and SuSE deltarpm's. And sometimes that'll result in all kind of compatibility problems, but i certainly found this text in a deltarpm README:
The deltarpm package is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
So this means the deltarpm system can be used in another patch systems.
Not true anymore, SuSE's update system Yast uses deltarpm's. A deltarpm reflects the changes since the original install rpm. So, usually, a SuSE update is fast.
No, i tried some other identification profiles and they all worked (some borked the site to a minor degree). It's probably just that the java scripting in the sites does not recognize the "Konqueror" string.
Who are you addressing?/.-ers don't DoS sites, they do, however, overwhelm sites by sheer number. It's called the slashdot effect, you might have heard of it...
Oh, now Vint Cerf is also a liar. Besides, as far as i remember, there wasn't much of an internet in 1986 as we know it today. So, i'd say he's bragging a bit, but 1986 is pretty early and he did some important legislation for the internet.
....During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
Ok, i'll bite. I've searched for uses of liquid metal in cooling, i know of eutectic alloys and searched for cooling uses of it. I found fast breeder reactors and stuff.
Then i searched for mercury cooling and, bingo! About 695,000 hits. The first hit is on www.devhardware.com. So, it's simply mercury, it's not new, and certainly not some eutectic alloy. Or do you happen know something more?
Tell me how that money couldn't be better spent on the schools or other programs, rather than on a luxury
Of course, in those same European countries, a lot of money IS spent on schools and other programs. Makes for high taxes, but offers a lot back to the general populace and communities.
Yep, i'm doing the same on my desktop at home. A snapshot of my/home/VON-MAN to an extra harddisk every 4 hours. The great big advantage of doing it this way is: i can turn my computer of when i'm done with it. I don't have to worry about a backup scheme, it's "set and forget". I don't have any problems with tapes (don't like 'm). I have snapshots of my data up to a month old (good enough for me). Older stuff is burned to dvd. And restoring is as easy as cd-ing to the right dir and copying. One snapshot takes about 2 minutes (i'm not really sure, i hardly notice it) of disk activity to make.
I exclude dvd and movie files and iso's, this makes one snapshot 17G (my home is 34G), and all the snapshots combined (15) are 25G.
So, for the price of a small harddisk and some cycles i've got the perfect backup. I have been burned by harddisk failures two times (and lost some stuff) so i'm pretty anal nowadays.

Hmmm, you are a good example of what often is wrong with the USA. How about choosing a solution somewhere BETWEEN "waging war" or "let the bad guys run rampant"? You know, not black, not white, but gray.
to this behavior is to use a klipper key shortcut (and yes, this is a lefthanded KDE solution). When i need to use an older selection (somehow i never get the wrong selection) i push CTRL-\ to pop-up the klipper selection list. For me this works like a charm.
Slashdot Mirror
No, it's an old myth by now, but people really should now better. Saddam never expelled the U.N. weapon inspectors.

I need to agree with you here. But when looking at the Adaptec results, it looks like the company does deserve its bad name.

AOL to spin off CompuServe?
Yes, he's talking about Zen, not Xen. Xen doesn't make sense here.

Yes, and notice how "balanced reporting" is NOT one of those principles. And principle 6 number does NOT even resemble balanced reporting.
Now you've got me wondering, is there really anything that might support a superbeing like your god? I very much doubt that.
That's semantics, and somehow semantics never reflects well on the user. :)

Ah, you mean a cooperation. That's pretty close to communism, and a lovely old-fashioned concept.

Very true: try saying "I shot myself in the foot with a 7.62x51mm". It just makes ya sound very stupid.
