> Those pyramids are pretty effective historical monuments to what one can do with slavery
The idea that the pyramids were built by slaves comes from the ancient Greeks (who were not contemporary with the Egyptian builders). Among other things, they were wrong about this and the idea has been dismissed by modern archaeology. The Egyptian Pharoahs were very wealthy, they could afford to pay workers to build their monuments.
I would recommend Shorewall for those looking for the power of iptables without the hassles of the syntax and/or not understanding what is going on. It is very easy to set up the most common of rules but you still have a great deal of power if you need it. The documentation is also quite good, which helps a lot, of course.
I'm using it at home for NAT and also at my company for routing and firewall.
The term 'evil' as used in the current vernacular is by definition hyperbole. People do good and bad things, same as corporations. Even the aforementioned Hitler was nice to children and liked puppies, though clearly he did more bad than good. Once essentially a synonym of 'bad' or 'ill', the word's meaning has become an expression of imaginary duality.
While that statistic has a certain amount of significance, keep in mind that everything here costs more. I would wager that the average vagrant makes more than $2.50 a day to buy his alcohol and smokes.
You see, having that attitude is part of the whole problem. Most people outside the upper class seem to think that one day they will strike it rich too, so there is no real envy towards rich people and forget about taxing them heavily. You wouldn't want the government taking all your money in taxes after you win the lottery, right? How about just being satisfied with living comfortably? Most luxuries such as good food, movies, video games, and whatever else are well within most people's means. But, oh no, someday I want a yacht, three houses, a personal chauffeur, and so on.
Hold on, let me just check with the federal government to see if they will back up this loan... Yes, based on your trustworthy credentials as a random internet user and the total lack of banking regulation, we will be happy to make this transaction!
The tsunami itself may be gone but the effects of it are not. A million people are without water, hundreds of thousands are without electricity, and who knows how many are now without homes, jobs, and possessions. Screw the media, they will concentrate on whatever gets the most eyeballs on their product (i.e.: what sells).
Also, since you used bunny ears I don't want to see your definition of a nuclear disaster.
"Bunny ears"? How cute. Calling it a disaster is an overexaggeration. A 30km radius is not so great, one could walk 30km in a day. From the introduction to Wikipedia's Fukushima I nuclear accidents article:
a series of ongoing equipment failures and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the 2011 Thoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.
In fact, the only uses of the word 'disaster' in the entire article are prefixed by Chernobyl and one instance of Kyshtym. And Chernobyl was most certainly a disaster.
I suspect that there is a big market in the Middle East as well. One night I turned on the satellite TV during a recent trip to Europe and at a certain late hour many channels start advertising porn for mobile phones and sex hotlines. There was an absolute ton of channels in Arabic advertising this stuff. There must be a market if so many satellite TV channels can stay in business with this stuff.
I would imagine that India is the same. Only opposed to porn in public no doubt. Behind closed doors on the other hand, the smut is rampant and whack shacks abound.
The cost is a pittance compared to what the tsunami has already wreaked. Let us also not forget that this "nuclear disaster" was caused by the earthquake/tsunami. It does not deserve half the attention that it is getting.
LLVM/Clang generates binaries that are faster than GCC as often as not..
Did you read this article? I didn't, but I read the summary:
While using LLVM is faster at building code than GCC (except for the ImageMagick application), in most instances the GCC 4.5 built binaries had performed better than LLVM-GCC or Clang. Clang did deliver a surprising lead over GCC 4.5 and LLVM-GCC with the Apache benchmark where the Clang-built Apache managed to handle 9% more requests per second. There was also significant benefits for LLVM-GCC and Clang with the BYTE Unix Benchmark running the Dhrystone 2 test, but in the rest of the tests the performance was either close to that of GCC or well behind.
So, how about Red Hat and Novell who are mostly definitely selling GPL software to which they don't hold the rights? Commercial use is not limited to selling the GPL software itself, nor added value that is incorporated into the software itself.
It is relevant because the lowest ranked NCO leads a four man fire team (assuming infantry here), whereas the lowest ranked officer leads around thirty men (platoon) and this number increases sharply with the rank of the officer. By contrast, a staff sergeant, the highest ranked NCO who leads his own element, leads only a nine man squad.
So, when I read that an "officer" was the culprit, I immediately think on a much greater scale. Dismissing important terminology as irrelevant is a mistake. A wise man once wrote:
It's the information age, so there's no excuse for not having your information straight.
I would test it by creating a universe with a god, and then creating a universe without a god (as a control). Then I would observe the results first at 6,000 years and then 14 Gy.
I took a course at my state university entitled "Classical Mythology" where we did indeed study the latter story there. Of course, no one regarded this as the truth as the definition of 'mythology' is well understood to be:
mythology, n:
The body of a primitive people's beliefs, concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deities and so forth, as distinguished from the true accounts which it invents later.
Don't worry, the grunts will come up with an appropriate name for it. Some probably lesser known ones (among civilians):
Liner, poncho, 1 ea. - woobie ("you wou' be cold without it") Liner, field jacket, 1 ea - donkey dick (due to the way it gets rolled) Cap, barracks, 1 ea - cunt cap (don't need much of an imagination here, probably the one good thing about giving all the legs berets)
a sociopathic officer who was directing his men to murder Afghan civilians
A staff sergeant is not an officer. He is a non-commissioned officer (NCO), but there is a huge difference between an NCO and a commissioned officer (commonly just 'officer').

And we shall do it with our mighty US military (which uses the metric system).

One murdered kilokittens is a tragedy, anything more is a statistic.
While that statistic has a certain amount of significance, keep in mind that everything here costs more. I would wager that the average vagrant makes more than $2.50 a day to buy his alcohol and smokes.

A real challenge would be one that you could fit 30 to 40 men at once in.
No, no, be wary of geeks bearing gifs. Sage advice, I think.
I say we pull a Slackware and go straight to 8.0!
Hold on, let me just check with the federal government to see if they will back up this loan... Yes, based on your trustworthy credentials as a random internet user and the total lack of banking regulation, we will be happy to make this transaction!
Sounds like what another area of the federal government does and has done for years - the military.
No kidding.. :/

I don't think this means what you think it means.
Have you considered the ramifications of products used in the US economy suddenly costing significantly more than they do now? Probably not.
