Please show me the stills of the RPGs. Also show me how having photographs on a camera, allegedly the last taken, is a reason to kill someone? I don't get your 'logic'. Fuck the official report - it's not impartial in the slightest.
They consistently inflated the threat they were under to their commander. One guy on the street became three, a tripod became an RPG, and one or two AK-47s turned the guys into an armed platoon of evildoers. They lied about the situation to fit the ROE. Heck, they asked for clearance to attack before they even saw the "rpg". What they did was fucked up, and the fact you are defending them is even more fucked up.
If you are in public, of course it's OK to listen in. It's not polite, but it sure as hell isn't illegal. Follow someone around all day on the street? Of course you can do that! That's not illegal, either. Look through someone's trash? Well, they did throw it away, thereby legally removing any claim they had to it, making it no longer their property. As for your guess about what would happen if people followed MPs and police and taped their public conversations, well, that's a fucking GUESS. Oh, and the legal concept of theft isn't about people getting things they don't own, but about depriving people of things they do own. So if you steal that "content" you aren't being prosecuted for stealing the content itself, but from removing the content, associated media, and the value of the two combined, from the possession of its legal owner. Christ you're retarded.
The UK incorporated Article 10 of the European Convention into its laws, guaranteeing freedom of speech as a basic human right. It does, however, view incitement to religious/racial hatred as a crime. So your "low value on freedom of speech" claim seems to be rather spurious.
Fantastic. Brilliant. Because that's how most of the game is spent, right, with people kicking the ball? I guess I was confused when most of the matches I've seen entailed people holding the ball in their hands, running around?
You don't seem to understand the words "primarily", "only", and "specifically". Yes, there are German hooligans, but there are far more English hooligans.
Because if they banned the horns, the stadiums would be as quiet as churches? The horns are loud, but not "oh noes!!!111 it's assault!!!eleventyhundred" loud.
What is 'quality' to you is 'utter useless eye-candy bullshit' to others. Football ('soccer') is light on said bullshit, because it simply doesn't need everything spelled out to make sense or to be enjoyable. The action on the pitch speaks for itself. If the hundreds of millions around the world who watch the World Cup wanted some bullshit CGI nonsense, or endless replays (while the game is actually being played), or cameras zooming in to players' butts, they would get it. But they don't, as the sport simply doesn't need it.
Not for everyone. During this World Cup, and indeed with most international football tournaments, there are large groups of people getting together, supporting different teams, and all enjoying the matches and the company. For them, the "us" you speak of is "everyone", and the "them" they are against is "not having a laugh". It's very easy to try to define hundreds of millions of people in one 14-word sentence. It's very difficult to do that accurately, which you just proved.
Wake On LAN is different to this. Very different indeed. I'd suggest you RTFA, but as this is slashdot and the hate is strong, I doubt it'd make any difference.
Wake-on-LAN does not do the same thing. Not even close. WoL is simply a way to wake a computer via the LAN, as the name implies. It does not keep a computer's presence on the network, and does not wake the computer when specific normal traffic to that computer is detected - it requires a remote computer realise the computer is not there, and then wake it. What is it with the MS hate?
Maybe in your city, but not in others. Karlsruhe, Germany pioneered a method of public transportation where regional trains travel on tram tracks through the city. That means you can get on a tram outside your house/business/pub/whatever and travel to anywhere in the region (400km of track), with interchanges to actual trains (that travel for thousands of kms) very easy. It works very well if it's done right. And bikes are great, too, as the city is rather flat (the modern bicycle was invented there). Please remember that your experiences are not representative of everyone else's.
Please show us the evidence of the rocket launcher. There most definitely wasn't one in the video. AK-47s are legal for Iraqi civilians to have, and many civilians had to patrol their streets to stop the rampant looting the US forces let happen.
Not this shit again. It's perfectly legal for Iraqis to have AK-47s. That is not a reason for them to be killed. Fog of war? There's no such thing when you're in a helicopter with such good vision of a peaceful square with no one firing a single shot at you. If the army gunner couldn't tell a camera from an RPG (considering they don't look anything alike), he shouldn't be a gunner. There were no troops on the ground in that square when the cameraman took photos. How could he be preparing to fire on American troops when there weren't any around? It took the troops that were there 15 minutes to arrive on the scene after being requested. It's another excellent illustration of the US armed forces' policy of "make up for poor training by spending millions on their equipment, and hope for the best".
No socialist bail-outs were required to get the US economy back on track? You can read about standards of living here, seeing as you are so woefully uneducated about them. The EU is not showing signs of economic instability, in fact it's doing rather well. They are not "going broke", and the major civil unrest you speak of has not materialised, and there are no signs of it doing so. And I find it rather funny that you forgot the great depression. Cute.
You are so ridiculously uneducated about what socialism means, and definitely what Europe is, that I feel awfully sorry for you. Some decent education, paid via socialism, would have fixed that, but you seem to be happy.
Again, your claims are not backed up by any socialist country I'm aware of, and please bear in mind correlation does not imply causation. Socialism doesn't "limit incentives to excel" - far from it. It gives everyone, regardless of background or upbringing, the ability to succeed. A poor person in a non-socialist country (one where there is no welfare or support for the poor) will always stay poor. They will spend all their time merely trying to survive. If they are taken care of, they have the ability to get an education, and actually make something of themselves. It also protects those who are wealthy from having to deal with hoards of poor people wandering around trying to steal their stuff simply to make ends meet. If what you say is true, then all of Europe would be stuck in the middle ages, with no doctors or scientists, with no innovation, with everyone simply glued to their sofas waiting for their next dole check. Which it isn't. Your argument is completely bogus. Did you hear it from Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, or Glenn Beck by any chance?
I didn't claim any of that. Your argument is drifting, and rambling, into obscurity. Give it a rest. But, as I pointed out in another post, the standard of living in socialist countries is generally higher than in non-socialist countries, especially for the poor. That lessens the gap. But, as that's contrary to your "socialism is evil!!!eleventy" argument, I'm sure you'll ignore it, or make a completely different argument in a vain attempt to paint socialism as bad.
The irony being, at least with regards to the point ffreeloader was trying to make, is that in socialist countries the standard of living for poorer people is greater than in, say, the US. He seems to be highly confused about nearly everything in this discussion, apart from, that to him at least, "socialism == evil".
No countries exist at all that have the exact same living standards or wages between executives and workers. Capitalism, communism, socialism, whatever - there will always be a discrepancy. I completely fail to see how that has anything to do with this discussion, apart from further showing your complete lack of knowledge on the subject.
What the fuck are you smoking? Most of (if not all of) Europe is socialist, and even the US has major socialist streaks (the military, highways, heck, any Federal initiative that requires money, including the government itself). None of what ffreeloader said is true in any of those countries. You might be confusing socialism with communism, which seems to be an all-too-common occurrence in the US, which is certainly not helped by most talking heads on TV, and definitely talk radio. I can't believe I have to tell anyone this.

No, it's you who doesn't seem to get it, but nice try. Tschüss!

Score:5, Bullshit
The CPU is a full-fledged CPU. The Northbridge, as others have pointed out, is simply old.
Stop lying, and get a grip. It's painful to read posts like yours. The level of whining is simply staggering.
These Atoms support virtualization: Z520 / Z520PT / Z530 / Z530P / Z540 / Z550 / Z560. So no, it's not absolute tosh.
