Your argument is ridiculous because cluster bombs, as you might guess, detonate in a cluster. WMDs, by definition, cause destruction in a large area. Cluster bombs do not emit radiation, nor are they carried on the wind to sicken and kill friend, foe, and neutral alike.
The surprise to me is that Microsoft is still desperately clinging to this failed "one user, one signon" model of security. What's worse is their consultants are still pushing that crap on businesses. Unix has had a perfectly workable security model for over 20 years, and it involves knowing separate passwords for separate functions.
... and unix systems never get hacked.
VMS uses a security model that is much closer to Windows than unix; yet, it is rarely hacked. I doubt that it is the model as much as the implementation.
Seriously, it's starting to look like Mos Eisley spaceport in there. I've burnt my retinas and eardrums on enough pages to declare that you will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villany.
They're still better than Popular Science. That's the magazine that that gave Windows 95 a "Best of What's New" award, although it was neither the best operating system (OS/2 and Macintosh were still better) or entirely new.
Sliding crescent wrench may not be a superior tool to existing crescent wrenches or vice grips.
Crescent wrenches and Vise grips (the generic term is "locking pliers", I think) require multiple little adjustments to the nut just to get them attached to the work. This one lets you place the jaws around the bolt and slide until it clamps down. That will save lots of time and frustration from rounding off or stripping bolts. Hey, this is an innovation award: don't expect flying cars or Segways-- you're more likely to see this sliding wrench than any of those in the wild.
It takes a genius like Ray Ozzie to design a spellchecker that checks email addresses and a letterhead that disappears when your email is sent to the internet.
If you can figure out how to confiscate the hundreds of thousands of AK-47s from those terrorists, be my guest. While you're at it, make sure you confiscate all the powder, nails, and metal casings they're using to make their IEDs.
Rads? So I see that the "rads" are merely disguised racists, who criticize the USA's foreign policy unless it benefits only white people. Little brown and yellow paupers in Asia and the Middle East are of no concern. Just keep sending food and money to them, and let it rot on docks or be stolen by warlords and despots, rather than invest in improving their self-government and infrastructure.
It sounds stupid, but it's basically necessary because some people would define writing "I will not blow myself up in a public place" 100 times on a blackboard as torture if it met their political needs.
I'm sure none of this happens in Europe. Certainly, you wouldn't have things like cameras on every street corner and thugs busting into your house to make sure you aren't watching an unlicensed TV.
Next time a Christian blows himself up in a shopping mall to "send us to hell," let me know.
What's crazier: thinking that 2/3 of the population is unsaved (by the way, no Christian actually claims to know who's unsaved so your 2/3 figure is bogus); or thinking that the universe is made of strings, the 70% of the mass we can't account for must be "dark matter" rather than a flawed model, or that all matter is made of tiny particles called quarks? And we give them cute names like top, bottom, strange, charm, up, and down. In both cases, we're relying on others to relay us second-hand information.
By the way, I believe in both redemption and science, because I have no reason not to.
What do mean by "political aggression"? That certainly has nothing to do with war, as the only conflict initiated by Israel in its existence was to destroy the breeder reactors built in Iraq by France. 1949, 1967, 1973... all defensive wars.

No to mention that the internet is just a bunch of tubes. It's not a truck, where you can just dump things on it.
Oh, ok. But could you pull my finger, before you go? Got a little cramp in it.

Not for going, but for trying to force themselves into a restricted area.
Leave.

You are a truly disgusting person if you think that the Taliban in Iraq was in any way a legitimate government.
Rosie O'Donnell, is that you?

Iraq definitely had WMDs in 1991 and used them on the Kurds. Iraq ignored all attempts at diplomacy. The USA helped kick its ass.
Iraq may have had WMDs in 2002. Iraq ignored all attempts at diplomacy. The USA helped kick its ass.
Seems like the only constant is: negotiate with the USA, or they'll kick your ass. And having WMDs, ever, is probably a bad idea.You just may grok the distinction between a democracy and a republic one of these days.
