Interesting. But probably won't happen again any time soon. In any case, it was a small incident and still it required WWII-hardened soldiers to make their stand.
Oh, and if USA turns Nazi now then a significant part of NRA will become guards in concentration camps.
Can you remember the last time a constitution violation has been protested by a violent mob carrying guns, shooting police officers and lynching everyone in Capitol?
NATO forces COULD have made Afghanistan a better place.
Sadly, there's nowhere near enough of them. It would have been much better if Bush decided to use all US force to cleanse Afghanistan instead of attacking Iraq.
You might want to re-check your list. Recently there were several attacks on women not wearing burkhas, and situation with human rights generally is sliding back fast in Afghanistan.
Mostly because NATO forces lost control of large parts of Afghanistan.
That gives you just one level of history. IDEA allows me to navigate history to any depth. It's a very powerful feature, and it's not easy to replicate it without IDE support.
However, this time they do not even dare to talk with Muslims. Because it's useless - Muslims are like big babies and are offended by EVERYTHING. Like giving name 'Mohammed' to a stuffed animal.
In Russian the word 'tsar' is not used to describe top command positions.
In fact, it's used pretty much only in its literal meaning (i.e. 'a historical ruler of Russia'). There are some exceptions ('Tsar Bomba', 'Tsar Bell', 'Tsar Cannon'), but they are rare.

Nope. I just believe that handguns and rifles won't help you to fix your government.
I don't really mind guns per se, they are just useless toys in most situations most of time (except for police and army, of course).

Why such fixation on handguns?

NATO supported religious moderates.
Sadly, Taliban has regained popular support when NATO forces gradually lost control of remote areas.

Why? I have not compiled my own kernel for about 2 years now without any problem.
Ubuntu provides a nice generic kernel which is suitable for 99% of desktop workloads.
After certain level modularity is harmful.
It makes little sense, for example, to make Linux so modular it can be run on your mobile phone and Roadrunner supercomputer without recompilation.

We have a lot of directories with 5000-10000 files. Git works noticeably faster with them. But that's not a very common scenario.
For example, my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) allows me to view history for a _selected_ _class_ or even a piece of code. Even across branches and merges.
Try to do it from a command line (you can, but you'll need a lot of 'blame' and 'log' commands).
I've migrated my projects to Mercurial and is actually FASTER than Subversion on Windows and Linux for commit/update/status/blame.
Mercurial is slower than GIT on Linux, but I just don't care.
Yes, and OOM-killer (Out Of Money) will get a whole new meaning.
1) Sure.
2) Sure.
Sony has a history of "religiously incorrect" games. See here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19202841/
However, this time they do not even dare to talk with Muslims. Because it's useless - Muslims are like big babies and are offended by EVERYTHING. Like giving name 'Mohammed' to a stuffed animal.
No ethic or racial group has a right NOT to be offended.
For example, I'm offended by any religious symbolic. Does it give me right to firebomb all churches?
Nope. Because that's my personal feeling and I understand that some morons think that crosses and crescents are somehow sacred.
Why is that a 'correct thing'? Because Muslims right now are the greatest thugs?
I'm sorry, but that just makes Sony a coward.
So he needs to install a spam-bot on his computer. That way he'll hit a sizable part of the world's Net along with my computer.
Also, I can just use Tor/FreeNet.
They say that a little waterboarding improves your memory.
So? I get about 1000 spam messages every day. And that's not very unusual. A lot of them contain virus attachments.
How are you going to find several e-mails from my friend Achmed if he tries to disguise them as spam?
Or another thing - he can just use direct encrypted connection to SMTP-server on my computer to deliver mail.
So? Bot can recognize phrases like "is larger" and then try to estimate sizes of objects.
You're missing a historical reference.
Lenin said in 1917 (AFAIR) that a 'specter of Communism is haunting Europe'.

Java HAS achieved that. See Google Web Toolkit - it compiles Java to _JavaScript_ which is executed inside your browser.
IMHO, it's THE best toolkit for rich AJAX applications now.
Sir? I'm sorry sir, but there was a call. Your house has burned down.
Yes, thanks for correction.
IMO, 'raw' multithreading should be used about as often as inline assembly. It's too low-level and error-prone.
