I was going to moderate, but this one is important. Does that policy mean that there will be no more master degrees in LA? Poor stanford dudes, all studing so hard to get their masters, and now it will be replaced by something like... I really have no idea with what, but you see the point
It's also _not_ used in high explosive ammo. And APHE ammo (i.e., ammo which is both armour piercing and explosive) was last used by the Soviets in WW2. They discarded it as being useless.
Well, it seems you're forgetting the daily use of them by the US from gulf war I to gulf war II in iraq and in bosnia It seems the easy way to get rid of the nuclear waste is firing it in someone elses backyard.
Many soldiers have died with radiation deseases and worst, a lot of civil population.
Like North America, South America and Australia Well, i've been taught that there are 5 continents, Europa, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania(what you call australia) plus the (ant)artic poles. Each one has its own notions i will say
There you operate on sub-critical material, and you beam it untill you have stable iron or nickel. C'mon! stop at gold! that way you can get rich until you screw the capilist economy as a side effect!
people moded this post as funny. I find it sad (not the post, but the reality on it) People all over states, and to a fewer extent in europe as well, are losing jobs because big companies prefer to subcontrat on a underdeveloped country were work force is cheap. I know that it makes all the sense from the pure capitalist point of view, but companies should be about a lot more than mere profit. Even worst happens on non IT industries (IT industries demand qualified work force) were people are just treated as work slaves. Ever wondered were all your cristmas toys come? probably from china, indonesia, or some other place, where a kid with no time to play works the whole month to earn about what you earn in an hour.
I have learned that most of these black hat types are so driven to earn karma from others that they couldn't keep a secret if their livelihood depended on it. To me that means, if they knew about it, so would everyone else in the world.
The best h4ck3r i know is a very close friend of mine. Close enough for me to know that he is, and that almost none in the world know about it. He manages several farms, a TLD, and is considered a security expert. How did he manage to get those nice positions? Exactly by not doing what you said. Not once has he braged, we are not talking about script kid here, but a mature person that plays on both sides of the fence, while the rest of the world thinks he only plays in one. Ok, i'll agree he represents about 1% (or less) hacker population, but there are probably more like him.
whats the use of inspecting some offsite code when you have ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY that the code you're looking at is the one that is delivered in your compiled version? In my language we have an expresion for that, that could be roughly tranlated to trying to stop the wind with a fork.
Some people are going to respond that I am paranoid and need a tinfoil hat. Others, like myself, are going to tell you you are looking in the right direction, and thinking for yourself instead of eating what news sell you out of the box. That said, i'm going to order my tinfoil hat, because i thought this electric incidents are wierd a long ago.
passing thru competition?!?!?
That's why(and not necesarely on this order)
Almost every render farm used on movies uses linux...
All major laboratories (phisycs (i work at one), medical, etc) uses it...
Governments, regions and cities are moving to linux...
Almost all big companies run at least a couple of servers with linux...
Some even have taken linux to the desktop (worked on one of those also)...
The open source community grows from day to day...
Some of the biggest machines around (top 500) are linux cluster machines... (how many of those run windows?!?)
Nasa uses linux...
Defence agencies use linux...
And the list goes on...
Yet another marketing measure... but the reality is they are chicken scared of running out of theyr monopoly...
And I can assure you they will as soon as desktop linux works well (overall and applications).

not even reading the rest of the comments i would say that for handling email/webpages for 500, your greatest botlenecks are bandwidth followed by hard drive space.
So any PIII 1G would do it, for disk space, think about the quota you want to give each person in email+webspace? 100M? 500x100M = 50G, as for fast disks, no great need for that (again, your main limit will be bandwidth)
if you are serious about not loosing data, use ide raid 1.
(of course, everything is assuming you use linux/bsd)
last time i checked the stats, US had more than 100000 nuclear warheads, former USSR about half.
UK, france had about 1000 each. The rest of the world not even near that.
As you can see, it's very unbalanced.
Someone check the data and post it please?
I agree with your line of reasoning, and even go a step further, thinking that US is now at the verge of getting total military supremacy over the world. And using it to control world economy.
Just look at what they did in iraq, a war for oil, based on lies (still waiting for the links to al qaeda, and WMD) and the countries that speaked against it, imediatly considered as semi-enemies (or all that french/freedom fries stuff, thats just what a 10 year old would do) After all, america is just a VERY young country, with americans being nice persons when isolated, but when seen as a whole, from this side of the atlantic, very childish, rude and dumb. And people in power (US) just like you to be that way, because its the only way then can use you to defend their "democratic" view of the world. Ever wondered how things proceed outside your little belly, I sugest reading a bit about holland, denmark, sweden, and even france and germany. How the society cares about persons, and even if you're born in a gheto, you've the right and means to study in the university, go to a doctor, feed your childs.
Anyway, I've lost my reasoning, but it was like this: Americans are strong enough to worry the rest of the world. The rest of the world should know better than let US take the lead in everything. It should try to take the lead at least in education, science and economy, and have a complete independence of US (economic and otherwise) because if things go shitty with the US, better have a backup plan.

Anyone with an average salary can afford that.
Well, it depends, if you take average world salary as a base, you'll find it to be lower than 500$ a month.
I would say that about 50% of the world earns way below 250$ a month, 75% below 500$.
(I earn about 2000$ a month, have an engineering degree, and work in an western european country, a mac would be a year savings gone)

My office partner can only use his right hand, and he uses a maltron keyboard.
He seems to be very fast with it.
