Are you actually claiming that it is a reasonable step for the US to give in to the requests of such terrorists?
May I remind you that when England gave the land back to Israel & the Palenstinians in the early 1900s that Israel signed the agreement but the Palestinians refused, prefering to fight for it. They lost, but are still complaining. They should have signed the agreement then instead of continuing to fight for this land.
Israel is not occupying Palestine; the land is Israel's and it has both Jews and Palestinians in it. The Jews may be unfair to the Palenstinians, but I'd be unfair to you too if you refused to obey the law and allow for peaceful coexistance (no rock-throwing).
Actually, its quite interesting from the perspective of how not to fail when you've got a good thing going. The key points to the failure of rebel.com become apparent as you read the article and are worth noting.
I hope people sending such letters to their senators will have the decency to get the proof-read first so we don't all look like uneducated computer geeks who can't run a spell-checker.
No offense to the letter itself, but some of the grammar and punctuation are quite horrific.
I use gvim, fwiw, as a GUI development environment. One of the featurs of MS Visual Studio I'd love to have though is pop-up arguments assistance. If you enter, for example:
if ((buf = malloc(
then all of a sudden, "size_t" will pop up in a smaller font right above your cursor, to tell you malloc expects a size_t argument now. This is just one example of the fast assistance I've enjoyed when using VC++.
If you go to American Power Conversion's website and look around, they have some good information on why running your servers at 230 is more efficient than 115 anyway.
Intel can exhaust its resources too -- by making stupid mistakes (like its Rambus chipsets). Losing consumer confidence is a hard obstacle to overcome.
See my previous post on this issue for more, but I think making Hollywood a subject of discussion and course material in a given classroom would make school more interesting and effective to the students than artificially making school interesting in movies. Kids know they're being duped...
Incidentally, teachers I've had have had a lot of luck with actually including pop topics as part of their workload.
Telling students that they have to watch the MTV music awards and report who certain awards were given to as well as why they think those awards weren't given to the other nominees may not sound like schoolwork, but it encourages basic-level research, scheduling and critical thinking.
Why don't we use baseball stats as an elementary part of teaching math? Why don't we use dieting (popular among teenagers, especially girls) as a reason for studying biology and anatomy? etc.... our curriculuum are being written too often by either neophytes or PhDs and not people who understand pop culture -- the kids sure do though...
On the problem with classrooms: I think we need to restructure how public education works. One-room classrooms evidently worked with a certain population with a certain curriculuum. I'm not convinced our current public education system has ever worked well, but what we need is to encourage students to help each other productively (which simulates life) as well as not being graded based on their co-students' inabilities (which isn't like life, but more fair).
... the goal for teaching teachers is teaching them HOW to teach, not necessarily what to teach.
However, that is like a similar claim made by teachers that producing a good student is teaching them how to learn, not teaching them the actual material involved. Producing a good student (that is, one who learns well) is indeed important -- we should therefore have a course in it. Producing a good mathematician, otoh, will require some real courses in mathematics, taught by someone who understands mathematics, not by someone who simply knows how to teach.
It is possible that I'm taking an overly generalised view of what was said by saider (above), but my point remains -- a teacher should be proficient in the area they are teaching, not just an area in general.
In highschools here in Ontario, Canada, it is quite common to have a teacher who took post-secondary English and then went to teachers' college come out teaching Math or Science and have another teacher who took physics and chemistry teaching English. A teacher can sometimes get away with assigning all the assignments available and using all the books provided and not understanding the material themselves, but as soon as a general-level student comes along asking a few questions, the teacher is stuck.
I'm still waiting to hear about more teachers using and channelling the proficient students' knowledge back into their own classrooms. I was allowed to teach my OAC (grade 13) computers class on occasion because I was more advanced in some areas than my teacher was. Much more helpful to my fellow students, however, was the fact that she also allowed me to help them one-on-one with their (Quick BASIC) programming and other assignments because there simply wasn't time to cover the individual misunderstandings in a 25 person classroom.

Breaking Windows

· Score: 2
I wouldn't ask for a break up if we could enforce a 'chinese wall' between their operations:
An operating system that includes minimal OS functionality and a CD of optional software (think SCO skunkware
Consumer applications, including Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, etc.
Server applications, including IIS, Proxy, etc.
Unfortunately, Microsoft would argue for years about what each constituted and would never do it They swore in the early 1990's that they didn't include undocumented functionality in Windows specifically for their Office products (but did -- See "Undocumented Windows").
I'd like to follow up on this ending discussion -- I saw the movie and loved the ending. It doesn't feel complete, of course, but that's never been a requirement for a good movie in my mind. My only change would have been to end the movie as he entered the earth's atmosphere, leaving you thinking that everything's ok, but not knowing for sure. The rest of the ending could have been used as the preview for the sequel...
Although I was confusing the addresses with Code Red, I wouldn't think it difficult to produce a worm that appeared to mail random documents while scanning for keywords and E-mail specific documents to specific people on purpose as well.
None of the sircam messages I've received are from people I remember ever corresponding with. A number of them are sent to auto-collected (spam-bot) E-mail addresses I leave trailing around to see how long it takes for them to get picked up.
I've gotten to the point of almost enjoying Katz's reviews because they are so orthogonal to my reasons for viewing a movie and yet they help me to see how other peoples' minds may approach the issues involved in modern entertainment.
My now very off-topic point was that the ability to construct a good trolling statement requires a level of wit and intelligence lacking in many of the other responses on Slashdot.
I'd like moderator options like "intelligent" and "well-thought". More importantly, I'd like to be able to select which moderator adjectives to ignore in my preferences so that I could ignore the negatives assigned "off-topic" posts, for examlpe.
PS, when is Slashdot going to open permanent discussion forums for on-going subjects such as trolling and moderation?

Anyone got some numbers on running something like qmail on the same hardware?

On high-school Newtonian experimentation: agreed.

How many good optimising compilers do you know of?
Odd supposition ... since the hard-coded addresses seem to be the Whitehouse and Pentagon ... but wait ... ;-)

You can probably find a lot of details on fan sites or at IMDB.
Maybe we could get some good insights from Nicholas Negroponte one of these days? He had articles in WiReD too ... :-)
Trolling, like sarcasm in general, is probably often a sign of misguided intelligence.
Hate to burst your bubble.
