For instance, the US fields 12 super carriers, complete with their escort battlegroups. In addition the US has about 50 Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarines. Care to guess how many fleet carriers are fielded by nations other than the US? I believe the answer is one - France's Foch. Britain has a significant force of smaller carriers. Britain, Russia, and a few other countries have significant submarine forces, but none are considered a threat to the Los Angeles class submarines. Nothing travels the oceans without the permission of the United States.
Just in case you didn't get it, that is part of the problem, if not the problem itself, and not the solution. How long do you think other countries will allow the US to play the big boy, without trying to achieve something themselves. And - this whole nuclear force does not help a single bit against guerillas. The US had their Vietnam, and you are just about to get your second one - in Irak. Good luck.
Maybe the whole problem would be null and void if the US didn't fight that many wars to begin with, and would start to play fair in politics, economy, and ecology. In the last 60 years (in fact, after WWII), the vast majority of problems the US had were homemade. To deny that the US near east policy and the single-sided support for Israel's wretched policy doesn't casue the Arabs to stand up is naive at best. Stop that shit, sign the Kyoto protocol, make sure Israel follows the UN resolutions like you wanted Irak to, help Africa to fight AIDS, and the world will be a better place for everyone, and no need to fight wars. Just to name a few examples.
Stay sober, man. If somebody started a war against the US using Galileo (there's two very unlikely ifs in here if you care to notice), then shooting down Galileo as a 3rd party's asset would be like a declaration of war against this 3rd party, in this case, Europe. Just in case you eventually wake up, Europe wasn't the US's enemy last time I looked.
I mean the moderators are still doing a good job but sometimes it's really funny. Could it be better if posters had to enter some keywords (hey, Bayesian filtering comes to my mind) which are compared to a database before presenting an article to the moderators? A voting system among a couple of moerators could help too but that would make publishing an article a lot slower.
"it took more than 10 times as long to install and configure" Did I miss something I last installed and configured (configured???) Spamassassin the last time? Maybe the author of this article lives in a parallel universe.
100-180 spams per day detected by Spamassassin here, hardly any false positives (none I am aware of), and only a handful per day if any which get through. It couldn't be better.
... two senators issued a law which threatens movie swappers with jail, mainly because their industry sponsors claim to suffer from losses due to movie swapping. It is only a rumour, though, that two other senators issued another law against the private possession of weapons because private waepons cause much more damage to the U.S. national economy, and that Charlton Heston agreed to this move.
Oh my. What kind of country is that? Is that really the USA that I admired as a kid? It seems that there is only one power in this country, which is lobbyists.
None of the Motorola phones I had were particularly ergonomic. The tri-band P7389 was particularly annoying. You can't simply add a number that you just dialed to your phone book. Nope, you have to enter the whole number one more time. Disgusting. Why should this be better now?
As far as usablity, Siemens and Nokia still lead the pack by far.
Most posters here are way too technic-centric. You folks don't get it. From a technical standpoint (and some are comparing KDE vs. Gnome, Red Hat vs. Debian, etc.) it hardly matters what you run. This totally irrelevant.
The main point is whether your, or your customers', applications run, which in turn boils down to whether the ISV supports the respective distro. Debian hasn't had a lot of support from ISVs lately. So calling for people running Debian on the desktop is just bogus (albeit cool). Running Linux on the desktop (which I have been doing for the past 10+ years or so at home, and on my various computers at work if I could) involves more than just the GUI or maybe OpenOffice.
For example if you offer to roll out 10,000 or more PCs in a governmental organization you have to think about some other things, like emulating legacy Windows apps, software maintenance, remote support, user help desk, educating users, end-user acceptance and so forth. These things have little to do with the choice of distro, which is only the first step of many.
Linux doesn't have any virtual desktops at all. Linux has virtual consoles. The virtual desktops are a window manager feature, not a Linux feature. People seem to forget from time to thime what actually is in Linux, and what runs on top.
This upgrade will rid the redirect completely so that no additional browser windows will appear during the router's installation process.
If that is so, and popup windows are the only problem, why do people use inferior browsers anyway? This problem is not just with Belkin but with many, many web pages to begin with. Duh.
Use a better browser which prevents popups, and Junkbuster or something. Or do you f*ck around in swinger clubs without condomes?
Also that is why I'm glad-glad-glad-glad-glad-glad-glad (I wonder if he is glad!) that Novell picked ud the pride and joy of european Linux (SuSE AG) - and not IBM.
That's silly. IBM and Suse have been working extremely well together here in the past 4 years. Most of the Linux/390 efforts stems from that, and pretty much all of the SuSE for xSeries certifications, as well as the SuSE Linux for pSeries stuff which dates back to Systems 1999 when some SuSE Munich folks brought SuSE and IBM together for a B50 loaner. Those were the days!
Between 2 and 2.30 a.m. CET, the eclipse was not so full in the Munich area. I could see a small bright white stripe on the lower left side of the moon all the time, which let the reddish rest of the moon appear quite dull. I've seen more beautiful eclipses of the moon before. I want my money back.
I would assume this story is as fake, and paid for by the music industry, as other stories on CNN (the most trusted name in news, or how the ad runs). I travelled the USA recently and frequently watched CNN. Boy do they spread factoids, false information, and other crap. But as long as the moderators like Lou wear US flag pins that's okay I guess.
What do you need a browser plugin for? A simple alias in/etc/aliases does the job well enough. That's how I am sending 419 scams to various addresses - bounce them to "419" in mutt.
Oh you were using a 20+ Meg program to read mail?
"If you're running a recent vintage version of Windows, and connecting to the Internet with an IP address reachable from the outside world,..."
If you do that, you don't deserve it better. If you drive 100 mph on a bumpy road with an old, rusty Chevy, and it breaks, nobody complains. Nobody with some brains would do that, though.
We've already seen some hair-splitting accuracy recently, as well as in 1991, delivered by laser-guided bombs and other "intelligent ordnance". How many civilian lives did the accuracy cost this time?
But then, the current mood is very positive about new weapons development, and after all, "they'd be at the former Saddam Hussein International Airport" and protect freedom if we had them today.
Thank you very much indeed. A mere 10% of the money spent for such development put into the war against hunger and poverty worldwide, and the Western countries would have a couple of problems less. Except that such a policy would not protect the US industry.
About the last thing the people of the world need is an almighty USA who thinks it can win a war against so-called terrorists and under cover guerillas. Vietnam was not enough.
anyways, it's OK to export weapons(tanks, missile systems, assault rifles, military training) but it's not ok to export computers for them because they might conduct DANGEROUS RESEARCH.
This is silly. Hey, if these machines are export regulated in the US, those countries can import slightly less powerful (but not necessarily less efficient) technology from other countries. You can affect individuals with export regulations (or copy protection schemes) but not governments. Given enough criminal energy they will get what they want.
Admitted - but for joining the nuke club you don't actually need 128 node G5 clusters. You need some Pu239 in the first place.
128 node G5 clusters can also deliver other more humanitarian results like medical research, and I can't see why such clusters should be under export control except in oder to protect the US industry and monopoly.
So I still consider the OP a joke. Not a well made joke, though.
Assuming that you're kidding - but do you think the world is going to be a better and more stable world if the USA are the only ones who have such compute (and other) power? Tsss..
And how would it "prevent (...) getting nasty white powder in the mail." Such a method does not prevent social engineering, which is still one of the most efficient ways for doing nasty things.
