please note that the 'war on terror' campaign is a reaction to at least 10 years of terror attacks by islamic organizations on western targets. these attacks were inspired by an organization called the 'muslim brotherhood'. this organization was in its turn (partly) founded by the nazi party. So i'd say we've done enough to get rid of the war criminals...
The game is really great but.. veryy very unstable.
I need to restart the game every time i host a multiplayer game, for instance. Then there are there frequent crashes to the desktop. Or the sudden extreme lags (on very recent GFX cards). And before you start screaming that I should patch my windows box: everyone in our 'clan' has the same trobles and we all have the original game (no warez bugs).
The first patch had huge memory leaks and was quickly retracted. The second patch came weeks after but hasn't changed the stability issue for me. And getting tech support from EA? Impossible.
Microsoft brought a half-baked MacOS clone to Intel. That's all. I wouldn't call that innovation.
Hm, they developed Word, Excel, and Powerpoint to their current forms. These ideas weren't exactly new but they brought a lot of innovation into these programs. Don't forget Visual Studio and Windows CE either, or games like flightsim all programs which have been improved so much that all competiotion has faded.
. Don't worry, the next time Germany decides to invade france, we will be there with our oh-s0-terrible-cop-killer bullets and save their bacon, yet again.
Oh, and not hanks will be neccessary, as we have grown quite accustomed to doing it.
You're damned right! And without a simple thank-you? Those unthankful peasants should be overthrown again! Let's see, which countries have had a US invasion over the last century.
By the way, check the 1992 revolution in LA that was turned down quite brutally, where's their right to revolution?

You can hope all you want that people will innovate; the reality is most web site owners are only in it for the money
Usually, that's a sign that it's time for a bubble burst. It's time for the 'we want to earn cash' people to leave and for the 'we want to make good content' people to stay. Free market. The customer ultimately wins.
1) "Stealth mode" = "Our product is a piece of crap and we want to make it look like the next big thing". 2) Customers? It's the "build it and the customers will come" view of the world. Sooner or later, you need to sell your product to the masses. 3) You're typically not given information about what they're trying to do, even after signing an NDA. If you can't tell me what my job entails, how am I supposed to make an informed career decision to join your company? 4) They have lots of money, but no ability to execute a business plan. 5) After finding out that their product is a piece of crap and won't sell (see #1 and #2), they decide to change the product entirely. Translation: rewrite from scratch. 6) After step 5, perform mass layoffs because the rewrite is also a total failure.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Don't forget steps 7 through 11 though:
7) After years of hard work with no results the original developers become demotivated and leave for real jobs at real companies or don't produce anything useful at all 8) To replace them the company hires junior programmers (again) because they are cheaper 9) The management burns all the cash on cars, gadgets and what more, meanwhile putting pressure on the developers to put in more time and accept pay cuts 10) ?? 11) Profit!
As long as iptables functions as it should (which it does), there's always a way to deal with the syntax issue.
You don't get the point. The OpenBSD pf firewall and its configuration syntax are superior to anything out there including hardware boxes. Check out the man page or this benchmark if you don't believe me.
Please explain how you will handle the crime of "knowingly viewing illegal images".
Als please explain how to track down illegal non-internet viewers. And now that we're at it, please define 'illegal image'. Will the federal agent investigating be guilty as well? after all he's actively searching for porn and essentially doing exactly the same as the accused.
Will you install cortex scanners as a sort of thought police? I'd rather have a pedophile look at images on the internet than that he's wandering about the neighbourhood.
Will this be the same as watching a bootlegged dvd?
So what's wrong with being an atheist? I denounce the existence of anything called 'god' and I am *darned proud* of it. Religion is the the people's opium..
My obeservation is: the more religious, the more ignorant, and the more these people want to exercise control over others.

And which ISP would you use to connect the office to the offshore location..?
Oh wel, this might as well be soviet russia!

So why do I get Score: 0 (troll) ???? Because some people may disagree? Mods must be having a bad day :/
..and general UK political disaster?
Why do people think that Slashdot is biased? I was under the impression that the UK has had a quite stable government for the last decades.

It seems many of the pictures are rather old so your house should be built a few years ago. For example, the palmtree island in dubay is missing.
This is the best web application I have seen for years. Now I will be able top spy on my neighbours from the other side of the house!
