  1. Re:What is the point? on Vehicular LCD for Server Monitoring · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually I would like something like this because of space restraints. All of my servers are crammed into a small corner of a small room. I do my best to keep it need and tidy, but I have to hook up a 15 inch monitor to a KVM switch. Even with the best cable managment system, it is a nightmare of KVM cables. If I could have these screens in the servers, then I could eliminate the cables, KVM switch, and monitor making a cleaner work environment. Not to mention by removing the monitor, KVM, and cables Now I have enough room to add another server. Right now I would have to start a second area of servers. Don't get me wrong I would love a new spcae that was large enough to house all of my servers and have room for expansion, but in these trying economic times the money to properly renovate a new space is non-existient. Remeber, by saving space you can save money.

    Of course they held vigils. Just about the hole world did. Now the target has shifted to a rather lucrative customer of France. By disrupting evrything in Iraq, they stand to lose a lot of money. Lets hold vigils for the US, what a terrible loss, but wait a minute, now its going to cost us money....

  4. Re:Hitler and Goering had a name for 'Shock & on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, blitzkrieg was about utter destruction before the enemy could retaliate.

    Actually the blitzkrieg was not about total destruction. It was about swiftly moving in and attacking(mostly using air superiority) to intimidate and scare the cicvillian masses to create a chaotic and unorganized evacuation. This in turn would bog down the transit systems, which led to the inability to move troops, armor, supplies, etc. This in turn made the invasion and occupation by the Nazi troops easier. Tactically, it was the best and most effective startegy of its time, and still can be effective today.

    What scares me is the reason the Nazis lost WWII, is that Hitler did not follow his own advice. He worte in Mien Kampf that a nation could not win a 2 front war. Currently the US is in that same situation. We are invading Iraq, but don't forget, we are still activelly fighting in Afghanistan. I hope history doesn't repeat itself.

    True, he is an asshole, but the real reason to burning the oil fields is to create thick black smoke that spy satelites and air planes have a tough time seeing through.

    ... which is cheaper to extract that most other sources of oil.

    So an estimated 84+ billion dollarz to wipe out and then rebuild a US friendly country is still cheaper than extracting the oil? I highly doubt that.

    On top of that, why did it take the U.S so long to adopt democracy? The Greeks invented it more than 200 years ago, thats for damn sure!
    The country is only a little over 200 years old...That's why. Geez buy a history book!!!

    You must be French. The real reason for the attack on Iraq, is that he has or is working on weapons of mass destruction and has worked on hiding them for the past 12 years. As for dated proof, the public would not and should not be given that information due to the fact that if there is a confilict (which there is now) he would not know that we have those sites targeted. The fact that he has them is not the threat. The fact that he may be willing to sell them is. The Presidents stance is that to protect the intrests of this country and safety of its citezens, pre-emptive action must be taken. Maybe if you had some religous zealots attack your country, your leaders would feel the same way. Apparently you must be reading to much French propoganda.

    Yeah sure its about the oil. Lets spend billions of dollars taking over a country that only produces 3% of the worlds oil. Hell the US produces more oil than that!! If it was about the oil, we would be attacking someone lik Saudia Arabia. At least there, we might break even on the amount of money spent to take over the country.
