" that and using alot of assembly code with peaks and pokes to touch the hardware rather then using a bloated library."
brings up the point.. why are they so bloated? Wouldn't it be better to have more smaller libraries? Sure you might end up with the same net result, but with some careful consideration you could reduce program bloat.
200 ns! 16K modules.. easy to install! those were the days. I still have a bunch of old Apple magazines from about the same error. Computers were a lot more fun then. People spent a lot more time hacking hardware rather than figuring out why the OS just bsod again.. oh well
What wars were won by any of them.. I'm reaching back to Napolean here..that was 200 yrs ago.. WWI neeed Americans to break a long stupid stalemate. Spain? mmm.. no dont think they won anything for a long time though they seemed to have kept getting into skirmishes with the US (and losing). Even when the Brits had us by the balls in 1812 we *still* managed to get out of it.
See correction - meant Japan & Germany. In any event, I said nothing about the Soviet side of Europe, but if you want to drag them into it.. they had what..1 'uprsing'.. the Prague Spring.
The point is both countries were crushed to the point there was no fight left in them. What we did in Iraq was to crush the military (yes you can debate how many are acting as guerillas now). But we left the rest of the country intact. Remember that to some what we view 'humanity' is viewed as 'weakness'.
ooops.. it was very late when I posted that.. clearly I meant Japan, not France. Both of those countries were basically hammered into submission to the point where they had no will left to fight.
You forgot something.
You may have beat Iraq, but now who's bleeding? US soldiers die daily in iraq you idiot ! Power!=Arrogance.
Yes and for each one down about 10 or 15 Sunni or non-Iraqi
arab go down. Hey you got something right... power does not
equal arrogance.
It provides a larger target for the enemy to attack. Where were you when USS Cole was bombed?
Assuming the enemy can get there. Personally I think I was
in bed when the Cole was hit. By the way.. it was in port.
The conventional forms of warfare are Gone. Kaput!
You know what pisses me off most? Not naive idiots like
you, but that George Bush was a pussy. If we had treated
Iraq like we did Germany or France at the end of WWII
there would be *no* uprisings, car bombs, or anyother
getting out of line. But no. Jr. had to go and do a
'humane' war. Dont bomb infrastructure.. dont bomb civies.
Uncle.
That would change very quickly if you were to attack one of them. You would certainly be fighting a unified Europe as I can't imagine anyone who would help you conquering it. Hell, I wouldn't even be too sure about Israel.
Unified Europe? Under French command I hope! Ha what a
joke. We know for sure the French and Belge will be hiding
under the nearest convenient rock.. the Germans, being German, will wake up to things fast and realize they can
take France again on way to USA, but if they stop before the
ocean they can keep it this time. The Scandinavians are
fierce, but tend to prefer beer and vodka. Oh and Spain.
All you need to do to stop them is threaten to set off a
bomb.
Face it.. Europe is not, and will not likely ever again,
be a military force of any kind, individually or combined.
They haven't the equipment, the trained men, nor the will.
Frankly I think the Brits could kick Europes ass on their
own if they wanted to.
And as far as countries that have collapsed militarily..
well its quite funny you put USA on brink to be in same
boat as continental Europe has been for.. oh.. 2 or 300
years.
Given the reasonable assumption that the 'fair use' guidelines would permit me to make a copy of a CD I have bought, what then happens if I sell or give the original away? Am I somehow legally obligated to destroy my copy, be it a duplicate of the original cd or mp3s ripped from it?
dude.. go look at the history and stop moaning about it. The court didnt 'elect' Bush. They stopped the recount. And its been proven countless times that they could have recounted them 1000 times it still would have come out Bush. Had the court done nothing all it would have done was delay the eventual outcome for another month.
Its not the one or two comments that pin you, its the content and tone of them. Jumping up and down, shouting, whining and using rhetoric instead of facts is a hallmark of the left in America.
I've rarely had problems building from tar balls on my slackware machines. I think many of the problems people have are related to the non-standard placement of files by many of the more popular distributions.
I think the whole source vs package thing isn't so much for performance (except in rare cases) but a matter of controlling what goes where and what options are enabled, if they can be modified at compile time.
but what about as a private individual, ie Joe Voter has some spare cash from his lotto ticket and wants to run a full page ad supporting his candidate. Is this illegal?
Gore 50,996,116 48 % 21 266 Bush 50,456,169 48 % 30 271 Other 3,874,040 4 % 0 0 winner declared results as of 1/6/01
But sadly, you clearly didn't go to school or you would understand that last column - 271 vs 266, and that fact that it is President Bush and Mr. Gore.
You lefties *really* have to get over 2000. Or do you want to do the recount again to prove again that Gore lost Florida?
Devote your energies to getting rid of the electoral college.
>If you really think that Bush has your interests at heart >then you're a gay-hating asshole, and as such, I hope you >enjoy burning in hell with your other hate-spewing cohorts.
So the 50% of population voting R are 'gay-hating assholes' who spew hate. Wait.. are you Al Franken? Clearly the life on Mars has been found, its you and your fellow far lefties. Sadly, its not intelligent life. And its always interested me how you guys resort to name calling and conspiracy theories whenever somebody doesn't hold the same view as you. You guys are all for freedom of speech, diversity, and progressiveness *only as long as its yours*.
I think there might have been a post along this line in
regards to nanotubes, and a portion of this link has some information on conflicting research on
health risks.
Given the nightmare that asbestos turned out to be, it seems
to me (a big supporter of science and technology) that we
need a 'go slow' approach with this stuff. There is no
earth shattering compelling need for anything made of nanotubes or buckyballs today that can't wait a few years
for accurate and conclusive testing.
So if I wanted to make a banner ad for my candidate, do I first have to form my own PAC? And what about having it accepted by one of the sites that serve up the ads? Cost?
As you can tell, I don't know much about whats involved in online advertising (never had to), but if its not too much $ would definitely consider doing something like this.
please find me *any* even remotely negative story about any of the Dem contenders or the previous administration on slashdot.
If you are so naive to believe that the Dems "have your interests at heart" or aren't just as much in bed with special interests, you really should come out of your cave more often.
this way/. can catalogue all the stories from the last print issue just a few days before the new issue is sent to subscribers.
It just seems hardly 'newsworthy' to link to stories that have been out for three weeks already in print. If you are going to play the 'oh look at these cool stories in wired' game (or any other print pub). then at least get it over with when its fresh.
thats become the forgotten planet. The outer planet have all had multiple probes in the past 20-25 years. Same with Venus, and Mars.. well we can't throw enough junk at that rock. AFAIK, Mariner 10 was the one and only, and that only made 2 or 3 passes after getting a boost after a Venus rest stop.
there are some things that are just not worth saving, especially when they cost many millions of dollars. This is like somebody doing spring cleaning and refusing to toss out that favorite letter jacket from high school. Think about it: $40 mio is what they want to raise. Yet two (failed) Mars probes - Polar Lander and Climate Orbiter cost $165 and $125 mio. Its time we stop all this nostalgia bs - there is plenty of video, tech specs and what not already. If you want to contribute something to the space efforts, make it something that pushes things *FORWARD* not back.
that the ISS and DOD had all missions available up to the point where NASA would need to *recertify* the shuttle fleet. NASA has no plans to do this due to the multi billion $ cost over the necessary overhauls.
The BBC misrepresented Kellys statements and views (largely
by ommision) and created the furor that led to him losing
his grip. If you are going to claim the Iraq dossier
controversy pushed him over the edge, then you have to
put a lot of the blame on the BBC for turning what was
a difference of interpretation into worldwide controversy.
