While I am quite "leftish" on the economical side I'm very much for personal freedom and liberty, so I wouldn't like to be compared to neither of Stalin, Hitler or whatever. Something just attract me with the idea of decent lives for everyone.
And no, I don't think many people belived Saddam was a good guy, but the USA did supported him earlier so I don't really see your point? But maybe the alternatives where even worse guys?
Anyway, thanks for beating the nazis for us so we didn't got owned.
And so far the stupid behavior from russias side has been exactly what? At this time that is.
And yes, I don't have that much of an idea why they have to do it even if there is a missile system there, but obviously they do see a need for it, or they just wanna impress their own people, but I don't know if russians would rather have a large military power than more decent living.
I didn't hit people, I was way to small for that, people hit me instead, but nowadays I prefer to not take shit so I guess it's kind of true (even thought I don't hit people..)
Over here in Sweden objects are objects and therefor gender neutral (atleast what I can think of), however we have two neutral forms, "en stol / stolen" = a chair / the chair, "ett bord / bordet" = a table / the table. So over here it's "en bomb / bomben" for a bomb / the bomb. Points to the english people for not messing it up thought:D, I don't know why we can't say stolet and bordet or stolen and borden, actually we do say "borden", but then we are talking about "the tableS";D
stolen = the chair en stol = a chair stolarna = the chairs
bordet = the table ett bord = a table borden = the tables
Yeah, if all nation leaders where as great as Bush we would have peace on whole earth!
Stop putting up your retarded missile defence system in Russias backyard so they don't have to do shit like this. Do we really need more weapons? More powerful ones? More evil ones? Bombers flying around waiting to strike wherever?
Such a waste of economical resources and environment, not to mention human lifes, comfort and healthcare if anything happens.
Not that I see much need for protection from Russias side, who would attack and why? But that might as always be because I'm swede and we haven't had any war affecting us for over 200 years.
I guess if they start to drill for oil in the arctic that USA will come over and "protect" Canadas intrests in the region or similair...
To me it would be ok if it where internation soil and noone where allowed to mine it.
Pentax K100 (whatever image stabilized version is called) are seen as a nice and cheap camera aswell. It's only 6mpx but more advanced than the cheaper Nikons.
Thought, the question here of course is if someone else shall be allowed to decide what you should be able to read or be part of. (See the falun gong reference if nothing else, thought maybe that is hard if you sit behind the firewall...)
Anyway something else which is updated all the time to block all ads and eventually all commercial parts of the Internet aswell and I'll sign up:D The web where so much better during mid 90s with no flash and personal webpages instead of lots of portals registring misspelled domain names...
I bought the iSkin for my macbook pro from Apples online store so it better work with it.. It's a keyboard cover. I don't notice any huge temp increases either, atleast not during idle. I notice more from putting the laptop on my bed.
Yeah, in this case Apple doesn't even offer anything for your money, since it works as simple as just renaming the file by yourself...
And now some people argue that it's because they need to pay for the license of the tunes but still, what license do they pay for MP3s not bought on Apples iTunes store? For music you made yourself? For voice recordings?
It if was only on their own tunes I guess they could check it thru DRM somehow and make another copy with another identifier or whatever is needed. But for everything else?
In the world where I live when I have bought a tune I can do whatever I want with it, if I want to make it shorter and crappy quality and play it as ring tone on my phone why should I be allowed to? Are you sure this is because of music labels? Maybe because so many retards buy stupid ring tones for massive cash. That blue frog and shit. During swedish adds "jamba" or whatever it's called tries to sell you ringtones with poo humor, it's so awful.
And as another answer had said what about CDs? Not that I understand why CDs and electronic music would be different.
Also what about if you make your own fucking tune and want to transfer it? Or if the tunes are public domain? Or if Apple doesn't sell them?
This is just bullshit, and Apple are so fucking gay. (Not to compare gays with Apple, you're great!;D)
(All I want is software which works in whatever OS I prefer =P)
Since I don't have a HDTV and aren't intrested in buying movies anyway the choice is rather easy for me. Wait and get the technicaly better format once prices has fallen due to mass production.
A more advanced format will last longer. (Well, atleast as long as it doesn't lose vs a cheaper one that is:D)
I don't think this format have any feature because the other ones are already known and as someone said Toshibas HD-DVDs aren't that expensive either anyway. Personally I would just had prefered if Microsoft (?) didn't managed to get more people over to HD-DVD back when everyone except one studie supported blu-ray and this whole thing would had been solved.
Worst case scenario is paying two (or three) licenses for hd-dvd/bluray/dvd/hdvmd combo player =P
True that, I guess you can count out anything supported by Apple to begin with. Not all that related but their vendor lockin is stronger than anyones and now when they released iTunes with ring tone supports for the iPhone you have to PAY for being able to transfer over the ringtone which are made of a piece of music you already owned!?
People came around this by simply renaming the files but then Apple updated iTunes, so someone came up with a new idea, and we'll see how long that one works.. In that regard Apple really suck and are worse than even Microsoft.
Yeah, just open an old HDD, remove the platters and heads and fill it with thermite, connect an electronic igniter (if one exist/works) to the molex-connector and you are good to go!
That will show them not to touch your data;D
Or in your case put that drive on top of the other and light it yourself when they come knocking on your door.
I have no idea what it does but considering how fast most formats are done I'm very confident it doesn't overwrite all data atleast. I guess it atleast overwrites the data on the blocks where it stores superblock backups.
Yeah I thought about what the name might be, since I know I've seen Chernobyl on maps and so on, but in swedish it's Tjernobyl.
Ok. One of the fears with Chernobyl was that the magma would melt thru the concrete and mix with the water from cooling underneeth it and the whole shit would explode leading to a much bigger disaster, people diged tunnels underneath the reactor to install a cooling room with liquid nitrogen to solve that but instead they just filled it with concrete.
I assumed the comparision would be flawed. So nuclear missiles don't contaminate the area for long? It's ok to live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki now? (I guess those nukes where much smaller than todays largest ones thought?)

For the people who do care about languages, why is beyond me, I hate them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language
But I don't see why USA would?
;/
It's not like Russia will attack USA?
And if Russia gets more aggresive USA probably sees a much larger reason to put up the missile defence.
Anyway I guess all they need are very powerful lasers, let's see how the missile defence handles that
Wants and wants, more like they are forced to since USA want to rule the world.
Yeah, if all nation leaders where as great as Bush we would have peace on whole earth!

They better have an Internetconnection then.
I doubt they will love to phone or send snail mail.

With a phone not from Apple maybe ... The Razr aren't.

It should had been "shouldn't" of course.
I guess the flamebait was for the Apple comment, but they really ARE. Major vendor lockin with all of their products and it suck.
lol, yeah, I guess more porn works aswell.
:D
Thought I think I would go for higher quality anyway, you can always get more content anyway
In the world where I live when I have bought a tune I can do whatever I want with it, if I want to make it shorter and crappy quality and play it as ring tone on my phone why should I be allowed to?

Just market it with cheap HD porn and the customers will follow.
Personally I'd rather wait for the next-gen format, this one are to little to late now anyway =P
That will serve them fine.
At some point, no moving parts has to beat moving parts.
;D
Yeah that is what I'm beting when I read Slashdot
Yeah, just open an old HDD, remove the platters and heads and fill it with thermite, connect an electronic igniter (if one exist/works) to the molex-connector and you are good to go!
;D

I have no idea what it does but considering how fast most formats are done I'm very confident it doesn't overwrite all data atleast. I guess it atleast overwrites the data on the blocks where it stores superblock backups.
According to Storage review they are made of aluminium (eventually alloys) or glass (eventually mixed with ceramics.)
The arctic circle is far from the arctic, atleast there I live =P
