Sticking to the standards include the RFCs. Now take a look at RFC1945 especially Section 10.15 User-Agent:
This is for statistical purposes, [...] , and automated recognition of user agents for the sake of tailoring responses to avoid particular user agent limitations.
Now take a look at the note to this recommendation.
Note: Some current proxy applications append their product information to the list in the User-Agent field. This is not recommended, since it makes machine interpretation of these fields ambiguous.
So this field is there, exactly for this reason, to provide user-agent tailored pages.
Lastly, the main-purpose was not to differentiate between Netscape and IE, but between different HTML version capable browsers. If one intends to provide even more specialised pages, it'll be his/her decision and problem, not yours.
Assuming the encryption is above layer 1, the MAC-addresses can be sniffed.
I'm not sure about wireless NICs, but normally you can adjust the MAC-address as you like.
The production of a NIC is cheaper this way,
so I'd guess, the wireless NICs have the same feature/bug.
That would make it hard to produce agent-specific webpages.

I think you are mostly right.
The relationship between Germany and the US and Japan and the US is not based on the victory, but their behaviour afterwards.
Imagine how most people in both countries must have feared the punishment, and how their reaction must have been, when they noticed that they were supported to rebuild their countries, and the war criminals had a fair trial.
Now compare this situation with Germany after WW I. It was severly punished, but that created only bad sentiments and partly lead to WW II.
>Indeed, the afghan should be thankfull. As we all know, once the russian left the country, the US thanked them by helping
You may have not noticed it, but since then, the democratic goverment was overthrown by the Taleban, which ironically where trained and funded by the U.S. (in order to fight the Soviets).
> I said 'people hate us'... not 'everyone hates us'.
I interpreted the nearness of "people" and "world" as "people in the world".
Thanks for making this point clear for me.
>I did see Palestinians...
Some thousand Palestinians. How about the other ones? How about the 1 billion Muslim all over the world?
>if you were trying to get me riled up with that comment
I did not. Maybe I did not myself clear enough.
The Bible has been used as justification for war and death (Crusades and Conquestadores) as nowadays the Koran is used as justification.
I expected that your knowledge about the Bible would be more firm than your knowledge about the Koran and that you'd know about the wrongness in the use of the Bible as justification. Then I hoped, that you'd consider that the Koran is abused as the Bible has been.
>Islam's very foundations state [...]
The 1997 Oxford Dictionary of Religions quotes Mohammad as saying:
"In avenging injuries inflicted on us, do not harm non-belligerents in their homes, spare the weakness of women, do not injure infants at the breast, nor those who are sick. Do not destroy the houses of those who offer no resistance and do not destroy their means of subsistence, neither their fruit trees, nor their palms."
>If you have been watching coverage you would see that many of these muslim/islamic
If you have listened to the commentaries and understood them, then you would know that it were not "these muslim/islamic countries", but East-Jerusalem and Westbank.
And even there, where a majority approves suicide-attacks on isreal instutions, the majority did not approve attacks on the U.S. Even the two major extremist terroristical organisations dissaproved the terrorist attacks, not to mention the moderate majority. But you surely won't see them on the streets.
Several Islamic-countries readily condemned the assault, even the Talesban.
>I have been outside the U.S.- people hate us
Obviously, you're looking for the facts to prove your world picture instead looking at the facts and then make up your mind.
Several countries are shocked by the attack and feel threatened themselves.
Granted, the US Goverment had several disagreements with several other nations (e.g. Kyoto). But suggesting, that this means hate, or that they endorse such babaric acts is absurd, or even insulting.
> It is a simple fact to these people and a doctrine of Islam that if you die in a holy war, Allah will praise you in heaven
It's a doctrine of Islam as it's a Christian doctrine, that you'll get a in heaven for killing the turks to free the Holy Land.
Both aren't.

I guess that's why Baskia, Northern Ireland and Isreal have so much problems with terrorism. Not enough violence.

As they did not care about a few civilians.
How many arabic civilians have to die for the american civilians?
How much more worth is the life of an american person than a arabic civilian?
You probably notice that your going a slippery road here.
BTW Afghani women and children are already dying by the hands of their "goverment".

It's not war, it's terrorism. And it's in some way even worse. You don't have a clear enemy you can point on nor clear frontiers to defend.

It's very profitable.
It's not profitable to cure people, who have not enough money to pay the cure.
Furthermore it reduces the feel of necessity in the paying society.

It's a well documented and powerful interface to the gfx-hardware with vendor-support and drivers..

Well, in the last century, the nations have reached some common accepted principles.
Among others, in the civil sector we have agreed upon that children must not work.

I thought, there were also the NPT, ABM, but some people seem to be more equal than othersOf course, there is research and were several tests on both sides, as comment #191, but both sides have not installed a space-based weapon-system.
Chemical weaponry knocks you dead to, nonetheless the use is prohibited. Even the Nazis obeyed at least this rule as they did not use them in war (Hitler ordered the use of them, but the order was disobeyed)
Laws are often against human nature (instinct), history (slavery/feudal ages/...) and reality. Pray, tell me which law is not. Thats civilisation.
Nuclear weapons are still several magnitudes more explosive than pure velocity-based weapons. (Equal masses assumed)
Missles launched from space reach their target more quickly than earth-based missles.
This leads to a shorter response time and therefore reduces the second-strike capability.
