So I guess that depends, when I think of slavery I use to think about africans taken to america, but then those parts of america was "founded" by europeans and it was europeans who colonized africa.
So not entirely true I guess. I have no idea how long slavery was still there in USA.
(And imho USA are probably much better than many european countries aswell.)
"In Iraq there was a dictator who was a threat to neighbouring regions (and invaded its neighbours constantly), who testing chemical and biological weapons on his own people, who violated so many UN human rights charters" A dictator which USA helped getting there.
A country which USA saw as a good one because it was closer to them / less arab(?) when the rest in the area.
A country which USA told "it's ok if you invade Lebanon, we won't interfere."
A country to which USA sold plans for sad weapons/industries.
I have no idea what the English have done in the Middle-East, but yes, I agree with you in that England/Spain/any colonizing country have sucked balls. Regarding slavery and peoples rights I don't know if an american are the right one to speak though.
But yes, it's nice to have someone fix some of the shit up in the world for free.
Maybe Nintendo can sell "WiiBomb" or "WiiKill" (though the goal in wars aren't that much killing people longer, so it's more of a product name than suggesting anything) to the USA instead?
Oh, and I who thought it was that the GDP per capita in the USA was higher than, I don't know, almost every country on the planet. And education and knowledge raising in poorer countries.
That plus that maybe most americans still want to have the same or similair purchasing power even thought the dollar have droped a lot in value.
And I doubt so much industry are moved over to Europe. We'll see where India and China is in 40 years, on the other hand in China I do guess that they politics can stop further development, or maybe not if noone cares about neither of the workers or environment.
Bull shit, Apache with PHP, CGI, some database backend and so on may be vulnerable together with whatever page it runs. But just a simple network application which answers a page request and returns a fixed page with no scripts or nothing are neither complex or a likely target.
Just run a script not running in the webserver process which updates the fixed webpage and be done with it. Feel free to tell me how anyone would play around with that solution...
"Endless cut and paste", yeah, because it's sooo impossile to have a perl script or whatever fetch the webpage and cut out the data you care about? Thought sure random form of read only network solution may be even better than something web based. I'm sure the GP was ok with such a design aswell.
Yeah, but the only thing i meant was that they should have a second system which could handle the same things while the first one was offline due to the reboot.
To me it sounds much more like they have a bad system design if it's impossible to reboot one of the machines / it can't run with one of them offline. Not something which are to blame on the software update (shouldn't such things be expected anyway?)
I guess "software update" can have been used to bash Microsoft a little or something, not that it say windows update, or maybe the poster hates all kinds of software updates?
Well, I have no idea if women votes for or against him, so it wasn't based on facts and therefor how they actually vote and neither of perceived security or freedom. It was just "but we are screwed anyway because they will like how he looks."
But in wc3 they are already so cheap that there are no reason to not build them if you need the unit, sort of. Heavy air may be an exception. I usually end up with three of whatever unit building I use because I sometimes forget to make units the whole time so I just pump new ones every now and then.
Imho BodstrÃm suck, it wouldn't surprise me if it's just that BodstrÃms and Folkpartiet got similair ideas, but back when we had Socialdemokraterna in the government maybe they/most of them didn't cared that much because BodstrÃm was one of theirs, but now when Folkpartiet got a similair opinion they have started to care more. What do I know. I to belive both sides would accept it thought.
Well, much media have covered that FRA got a new machine atleast, and I would guess that TPB, Piratpartiet, IDG, various forums such as Sweclockers, Flashback and such have discussed what it may lead to / why it may have been bought.
Personally I'd want them to just create one big administrative authority instead of current: * CSN (student loans and money) * FÃrsÃkringskassan (if you are sick, or your children are, or handicapped, or for whatever else reason can't work) * ArbetsfÃrmedlingen (employment office) * Socialomsorgen (social security / welfare) * Skatteverket (tax administration)
Or atleast let them share their journals/databases with each other, which they aren't allowed now unless you give them permission to. This just lead to that you may not get the money you have the right to if you don't know about it, or some people cheat and get more money when they should have (some year one guy got social welfare from lots of countys at the same time because they had no idea what each of them did and he asked for money from many of them.) and most importantly lots of paper work when you have to get papers from all of them to send to the others, probably makes them much less effecient aswell.
And no, I wouldn't be bothered, since for some reason I expect people to behave nicely so I don't see the risks, I just see it as an opportunity and less retarded system.
I like huge strategical advantages from building the correct units (see c&c generals zero hour for example), but I still like it if a supposedly bad unit can still win in the hands of a skilled player.
In wc3 I usually don't build all buildings, but then I mostly play RT. I focus on what I want and may eventuelly change units if I see one which fits the situation much better. So our bases will be different. But in a good RTS/game I guess people should counter things all the time, and/or maybe even have armies with a lot of different units and micro them well to get the biggest advantages from each of them. In such a game you will indeed want to have all buildings.
So yes, buildings should be easy to get and cheap so you can actually focus on which units you play with instead. If they aren't you may be screwed because you never scouted.
In wc3 getting an expansion can be quite risky, especially if you aren't human. In team games however I'd say it's well worth it because the extra income if you manage to get it will well balance out any disadvantages. (Also since I like to tech I have disposable incoming while upgrading anyway and can't use the money for anything else, and if I manage to get the exp I can get my more technically advanced units faster / in bigger numbers.)
To me it more sounds like you aren't very good at playing RTS games so you like to tower yourself and hope the computer can't kill your base until you have lots of resources and a huge army and he have spent most of his units attacking your towers and stuff so you can go attack him and win not by skill but with a superior army due to numbers.
Which explains why you hate rushes, because you always get owned by them because you can't handle it.
I tried to argue myself into that I "needed" originals due to the better picture quality (not lower resolution, just lower bitrate, but anyway.), but well, I didn't. What matters is if the movie are any good or not, not as much in how it looks. So I don't buy movies.
Also over here you can get a movie subscription/renting where you get a couple of movies, and get new ones once you return the first ones. So you are free to get as many movies as you want per month but are only able to have a few of them at home at the same time.
Works ok for people who don't want to go thru "all trouble" of downloading the movies and rip them themself, and then you can indeed choose the quality yourself.
Exactly, how does extinction / loss of a food supply / mutating desease which have earlier almost killed a whole industry become small news? I would more likely find it the biggest news this day on Slashdot, time will tell.
Because archives and disk images are extracted / opened by default in Safari on OS X? Same for videos and music files.
So if the extract utility accept full path (I doubt it does) for filenames you could extract whatever files on top of whatever files, you could say bring up a disk image which say iTunes or whatever and someone who don't think that much may execute it, if it's possible to exploit itunes or quicktime thru weird data in the file which are played you could throw over a file which exploits that.
And so on, maybe not likely scenarios but whatever, I don't want thousand of files in my download folder to begin with, even if I won't execute them.

May be true for slavery within EU, but England practised slavery in Africa until quite recent times.
IG Farben in Germany had slave workers during the fourties - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IG_Farben

But you are probably correct.

Most people who know what BodstrÃm wants probably dislike him, I know I for sure do, the problem is that he's popular with the ladies in their 40s:

The ladies start to think with whatever body part are their equivalent of the penis and loses all sense.

That's what I wanted to say, was looking for a comment if someone had already mentioned it.
According to "Ny Teknik" or whatever page I found it's made up of a cluster of 2128 blade servers from HP.
Theoretical max 182 Tflops, seems like it made second place when compared to the june list / when it was done / news out.
It's number fifth on november 2007 list:

I may be wrong thought.
You helped me, I never knew the doctor was dead aswell.

1) Pay Internet bill.
2) Download movie.

I guess he just don't eat bananas.

Then he would probably do it anyway but not thank them ;D
To put it short form my perspective: Hurray for Microsoft!
But wouldn't that make you stop?
