I'll be honest, this whole thing looks like a mess.
A team composed of 5 or more [highschool or college] students
At least one mentor affiliated with the school or program to supervise the team
At least one mentor with programming experience to guide the students
At least two computers with internet access and the Adobe Flash plugin
Available time to meet either during or after school, as organized by the primary mentor
I doubt many if any at all from slashdot will register to do this.
OpenID wasn't created by nor owned by google. It was created by LiveJournal and "run" by a bunch of different people/companies: yahoo, microsoft, symantec, paypal, facebook and so on. It has also been available for years before google jumped in. There are many ways to authenticate as well, not just single password logins.
I'm sorry.. i'm lost (help me!) or you're mistaken. That link says model A won't have ethernet but B will. Unless you were saying you can use a usb dongle for ethernet?
You'd probably want ethernet (model b) for a cluster. But you could probably cluster them together using a (much slower) connection via i2c/spi/usb or straight gpio.
It goes both way though. The mob has to show up without slinging rocks or provoking the on edge riot-cops. But, i agree with you. If an unarmed mob was approaching the skirmish line (peacefully) and the commanding officer told his skirmishers to stand down.. you'd still get one idiot (IDIOT!) who would shove a protestor walking by with his baton and set off a chain reaction. Or you'd get a protestor (kid thinking "yeah man! these cops are pussies!") getting into a cop's face and spitting on his eye, setting off a chain reaction.
I don't really know about these things but shouldn't it be the other way around. Why would you take one of the most successful part of your business and remove it from your company?
Your best guess was the right one. Also that second needle was of a different material. I think part of his little experiments was using different charged materials. Teflon, nylon, and so on.
I agree with you that anything Bremer did was in the name of the US Gov. Even if the majority of the talking heads said not to do it, he did do it and makes the US responsible as a whole.
I disagree that your de-ba'athing solution would go so well. Bribery is too rampant. The background checkers would have to be above bribes (and death-threats). During the whole process, the guys who know their days are numbered are setting themselves up for retirement. Their retirement setups could be as simple as theft or as indirect as hiring non-ba'ath people he trusts into positions of power.
However, i think a hybrid would have worked better. The old gov is suspended and can only return to work AFTER a background check. You'd still have the problem of manipulating the checker/judge but atleast the old gov couldn't cause any more harm.
The disbanding was done by a Civilian administrator named Paul Bremer against the advice of the US Army. It also didn't help that Saddam emptied all his jails of violent prisoners into the streets. The de-ba'athing is still debatable. A lot of people say it was a blunder. I'm on the fence about it. Some of those guys were Saddam cronies, some were not. How do you tell the difference?
I would say because of the upheaval that living was different. For some it would be higher and for some lower. Judges pay remained about the same. Police pay was reorganized. It use to be that a traffic cop (people ignore stop lights but respect a man standing in the middle of the street) was a higher position than a patrolman. The government pays for all their jobs. It's just that the new government respects the importance of education more than the old government. Honestly though, i don't have a firm enough grasp on the differences of living in Iraq under Saddam and after he was gone to answer your question well. But i can say that they were very happy to be getting good pay. Both for the money and the respect given them by the government.
Slashdot Mirror
You did not even read your own link.
I agree but the problem then becomes.. where does the power required to split water into hydrogen (and oxygen) come from?

like facebook? hardly anyone uses that piece of crap.
PHP 5 supports up to three cats now :)
They also detect if you put your simchip into a smartphone and conveniently "upgrade" your account for you.
what about google calendar?
WHAT?! How could you exclude Jeri Ellsworth? https://plus.google.com/u/0/115971553634517134434/posts
I still prefer printf to cout. Though php's echo is better than both, which is sad.
You can pay a debt without needing to create new money. Example:
1) get a 10$ loan
2) buy yarn for 10$
3) make a hat
4) sell hat for 30$
5) pay back debt of 10$+interest
6) Profit!
To read slashdot, of course.
Doesn't look like a troll to me. Someone needs to lose their mod privs.
I can't download the history, but i can view it all here: https://www.google.com/history/

Ah, gotcha. Thanks

I apologize for the language.

Yahoo still has Flickr.

Thank you but i was specifically interested in what you thought happened to the police during the invasion, not two weeks or so after.
