"I see you can't tell the difference between was and is. Ossetia (indeed all of Georgia) *was* a part of the USSR, just like India *was* a part of the British Empire. That doesn't give Britain the right to interfere in modern day India. Russia has no right to interfere in modern day Georgia or Ossetia"
The point is, Ossetia, arguably, never was really a part of Georgia. It was _given_ to Georgia by Stalin (a native Georgian, BTW).
I can't find English-speaking sources about Georgia refusing to give foreign passports to Abkhazians and Ossetians. That was back in 1991...
But I'm not a Russian propagandist, though I think _some_ Russian actions are good. Some Putin's actions are bad. For example, current situation in Ingushetia is Putin's failure - he supported Zyazikov's thugs. Also, election in Ingushetia was a complete falsification which has been _proven_ (http://eng.kavkaz-uzel.ru/newstext/engnews/id/1208608.html) but Putin somehow has silenced critics.
Russian troops will surely leave Georgia. Want to bet?
And yes, US giving Georgia military hardware is BAD. Though I wholeheartedly agree that NATO/UN/OSCE peacekeepers are good. Though UN peacekeeping forces have their share of shameful failures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre)
Hmm... And Ossetia and Abkhazia were a part of the Russian empire (and then USSR), they also rebelled after Georgia tried to grab them after the USSR collapse. Russia protected them back in 1992.
As for passports - do you realize that this whole conflict started when Georgia _refused_ to give international passports to Ossetians and Abkhazians?:)
Russian troops will surely leave Georgia. Russia has no interest in grabbing Georgian territory, that's certain. We have learned it hard way during the last Afghanistan war. Right now, Russian troops prevent further provocations and enforce cease-fire.
Also, US continues to support Saakashivili's military. Several days ago Russia captured several brand-new army Hummers (which US asked to give back:) ).
Garbage collection should not start until the method 'close()' is finished, it's guaranteed by JLS.
Also, this is a trick you use during debug when you don't really care about fine details of Java Memory Model. It should be turned off on production systems.
Just for the record - please show sources of "Ossetians shelling Georgian towns". It's a blatant lie.
Ossetians were forced to answer sniper fire from Georgians after August 4th. And the textbook way (I know, I'm a lieutenant of reserve) of suppressing snipers is to use heavy artillery.
No, it was more complicated. You could stay for about 3 months without needing any permits. In fact a lot of students used to travel during summer to all parts of the USSR without any problems.
However, you needed a stay permit (it was called 'propiska') to permanently move to another city. Getting this permit was a quite different story.
PS: I'm not saying that USSR was a very nice place overall. But there were good parts which I miss...
Actually, you COULD travel inside the USSR without showing papers. Train and airplane tickets were anonymous and you did not need to show ID to board a train or an airplane.
Then we'll start stacking several layers of transistors on one chip. That way we can get 10 more years of Moore's law. There's also a possibility of spintronics, which require dramatically less energy and promise much faster speeds.
Why? UNIX is not something absolute and unchangeable. It's just a set of simple concepts ("everything is a file, simple building blocks which can be combined, etc."), which is unlikely to become obsolete any time soon. It can evolve, but probably won't change that much.
Besides, Linux can be used for a lot of different things, like mobile phones where users might not even know they're using a UNIX system.
Military resistance in Iraq had been completely broken in less than a month (remember the famous "Mission Accomplished" sign?). You just can't win against tank army with light weapons.
Of course, later you can use guerrilla-style operations to destroy tanks one-by-one. But such strategy has its limits.

Then how do all these international trade contracts work?
Just ask them to point their MX records to your server. And make this a contract condition.
No. The submitter has a legitimate cause to use this domain name. He's also free to sell it to anyone at whatever price he/she wishes.
It's mikerowsoft.com all over again.
Can you point me to a manual which explains how to set up resource leak detection?

Anti-air defense, if you're interested. Yes, I studied by Soviet textbooks. No, they are not much different from USA textbooks.
Counter-sniper fire is ineffective if snipers are located in inaccessible territory (like Georgian villages, protected by Georgian army).
BTW, even Wikipedia states that artillery is a common tactic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-sniper#Counter-attacking_the_sniper
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War ? Or maybe Iraq war?
No. It's not possible.

There's a useful trick with finalizers:
public class Something implements Closeable
{
public Throwable stack;
public Something()
{
try
{
throw new IllegalStateException();
} catch(Throwable t) {stack=t};
}
public void close() //...
{
stack=null;
}
public void finalize()
{
if (stack!=null) stack.printStackTrace();
}
}
So you can use finalizers to detect 'leaked' objects. I.e. objects which must be explicitly closed/disposed/whatever but you forgot to do it.

Ossetians were forced to answer sniper fire from Georgian side.
In any case, why did Georgian even NEED snipers??
Cut the crap. You can say all this about US, UK and a lot of other countries.
Cheap travel (trains and airplanes were state-subsidized), half-decent healthcare, low crime level.
Though I still prefer living in the capitalist Russia of today.

I hope it doesn't cause cancer. Pancreas cancers are the worst killers, because they are very hard to operate.
Why?
Psystar PAYS for Apple products. It's none of Apple's business how Psystar uses OS X as long as they do not pirate it.

And so on.

Besides, Linux can be used for a lot of different things, like mobile phones where users might not even know they're using a UNIX system.
So? Linux systems share a lot of design flaws (like X-Windows). But they are slowly being corrected.
IMHO, Linux adapts itself to new hardware reality fairly quickly. And there are not many revolutions in hardware, just gradual evolution.
Why not? Windows is still around, after about 20 years. Of course, Windows 1.0 and Windows Vista share almost nothing in common.
But Linux 1.0 and Linux 2.6.26 also share very little (none at all?) code.
No, they don't.
