Less than six years. I'm sure it seemed like a long time to its contemporaries, given the state of total war, the nationalized production, and the casualties.
Six years? I know some Africans, Chinese, and perhaps Spaniards who might like to have a few words about this.
That was true about 2 years ago. Today, arguments in Wikipedia are won by admins. The problem is that the Wikipedia admins are by and large American WASPs and Eastern Coast American Jews. It's a bit of a problem for creating objective 20th century history articles.;)
Nixon's opening of trade with China won the US the Cold War. The Soviet Union, already hurting, became very overextended when it had to protect the Chinese border as well. In fact, the USSR fought a not so cold war with China. Also, it was the Chinese who primarily armed the Afghans against the Soviets, not the US with its handful of Stinger missiles.
It should be remembered that the initial rapprochement wasn't for cheap trade goods, it was to deal with the debacle in SE Asia and potentially change the game with the USSR.
Heh. Unless it spends too much time on the shelf or something. And then....
You have died of dysentery.
More seriously though, I've had dysentery in a 3rd world country. It sucks. A lot. It is entirely possible to starve while eating enough food. I look forward to when someone has a pill that can fix that over night.
Is it time to get a Facebook Account? I've been on Slashdot for years and as far as I was concerned, that's the only web social interaction I need. Sure, I've got a LinkedIn account, but that doesn't really count.
Slashdot has been cutting off journal entries and making it tougher to post stuff. It doesn't prompt the journals or make it easy to search through them. I wish Slashdot would change this, but there doesn't seem to be any impetuous towards this.
Everyone else it seems is on Facebook, but let's face it. Most of them are fairly to exceedingly lame, while the people around here are people who's opinion I want to hear. Still, these fairly to exceedingly lame individuals are my coworkers, friends, and potential employees and employers.
Will it be necessary to have a Facebook account in 2011?
It takes some time to put together an initial PC and make sure everything works on it; no wonky printer drivers or something bizarre. It then takes time to get the parts in. It takes time to get the PCs assembled and properly patched and flashed. Document all the internal parts and serial numbers (you could skip this step, but then you would be a lousy IT manager). Check for DOAs and then trouble shoot the DOAs (this isn't something you or your dudes do professionally, there will be loose RAM, processors, cables, etc). Now you ghost the image and everything else that you would do with a corporate build.
He could do it. But it would be foolish. Let Dell, Lenovo, or whoever else do the hard work themselves. White box PCs don't make sense in the corporate environment. Been there, done that, never again.
If you lived in the countryside anywhere near farms, you'd never make that statement. Fertilizers are not healthy for livers and it is remarkable how quickly they can poison a well. Water in aquifers moves quite slowly.
I trust the average person. In fact, I trust them so much I approve of arming the average person (Second Amendment and all) with concealed carry laws. I would not imagine that I have any more to fear from a super hero capable of beating me up then a dude with a gun capable of shooting me.
It's not even classified as a Musteloidea. According to the Wikipedia article, the Salanoia durrelli is from a completely different family, endemic to only Madagascar. If you look careful at the teeth, you'll see they don't resemble Musteloidea in the least.
Humans are notorious trend-followers. Sadly, this often leads to horrid things--like flip-flops coming back. My niece thinks it's okay to wear those fugly things to job interviews. If they were going to bring something sad from the 80's back, couldn't they have just went with Members Only jackets?
Yes, you are. That makes about as much sense as Guam flipping over. The Earth is so large that this would never be able to move it. Further, as the article states, this isn't a sail, rather it's a collector of electrons.
Is a social engineering attack a hack? It sounds like someone called over to EarthLink and got an e-mail password reset. Then, once holding the e-mail account, called over to Network Solutions. This sort of thing wouldn't be difficult at all.

Well shucks. That makes it difficult to evaluate their profit model.
The North Country Gazette. It's an interesting model. I wonder how it will work. We should all visit this and see.
I like beach volleyball.
You know who else didn't smoke marijuana? The Nazis. That's who.

No "I for one welcome our new insect overlords"? Who are you and what have you done with Slashdot?

MOD parent up as generally awesome and completely correct.
Article is locked.

Do not let the robot hold your baby! I have it on very good authority that this is a bad idea.

No no. MDARS is a great name. If you were to give it something cool like SKYNET or CYLON, we would all be boned.

Poor thing looks absolutely terrified.
And I just read that more thoroughly. Bleh.
Nonsense. Europe and the US could just declare all debt held by China null and void. Frankly, the western markets might like it.
It's just ink on paper. People forget that.
