I've used both C++ and Java, I like them both. C++ just has a lot more pitfalls that a savvy programmer knows to avoid, whereas a novice will get swallowed into the cold oblivion of core dump and seg-fault hell.
But, its also goddamned powerful.
See also Palastinians. A large part of the world thinks they're these evil except those who understand they're basically living out the exact same story as the native Americans. Displaced over and over and over again to the point of desperation, despite numerous signed treaties and land partitions by the US, Israel, and the UN to protect them. All of this courtesy of a certain UN Security Council member's liberal usage of its veto rights to ensure nothing punitive ever gets done to its favorite toy nation Israel.
Well you also have to worry about warlords intercepting food shipments. Or people being afraid of food shipments (especially from the US) because they would use packaging designed to look exactly like unexploded bomblets. So a starving person had just as much of a chance of blowing themselves up as getting some poptarts. There is misinformation, but there are also a lot of powerplays with fear that are well known.
It does seem small, but you have to consider that most of the world doesn't live up to 'industrialized' and 'information age' standards of living. Its actually a pretty incredible number.
Well, it seemed to work well enough for hundreds of other nations in western civilization to fall in love with Athenian Democracy, and to consider Greek society an ideal of learning and art. Granted, if an elected official was felt to have not properly represented his region he could be severely punished, even put to death - so, no, no sailors in the whorehouse.
When you have elected officials, they learn rhetoric, idiocy, and how to play with the body politic. They rarely if ever campaign on what they truly intend to do. Now, in Greek democracy anyone could be elected through a lottery system for a one year term, based on regions of the country. It'd be awesome if we would institute something similar. No more pandering to lobbyists, etc. But oh no, that would be a democracy, and America doesn't want that.
Ditto, I honestly could care less what files people keep. Have some mp3s? Fine. A few questionable video files? I still really don't care. Just don't be downloading malware or anything like that. Basically I figure I wouldn't want anyone accessing my files, so why would I want to access their files? Then again, I also despise knowing passwords because of liability because I genuinely don't ever like touching other people's accounts.
Please explain then how this law should apply to the person who has their laptop set up to use whatever wireless connection is available, and upon walking past a concrete wall, their laptop automatically moves on to said open netgear. There was no mens rea, and the person 'committing the crime' had absolutely no intention of committing a crime. Not everyone who uses a wireless network that isn't theirs is a criminal. Heck, most people don't even know that its illegal - I learned when I was in college.
Well, the definition of common law as I understood it, was that it was based on what the common person would view as illegal. People can pretty much unanimously agree that murder is wrong, as is theft. Malicious computer use is also viewed as bad (though for many geeks it still has a pretty fascinating "whoa, thats pretty neat" factor). If the majority of people see no issue with borrowing wifi, then the common person would no longer see it as a crime. Therefore it isn't a common law.
Maybe I'm just overanalyzing this. Silly lawmakers and their technological prowess - or lack thereof.
Really? You may wish to look up the following terms:
Fertile crescent
Grand bazaar
Library of Baghdad
Or, look up the fact that Iran is the longest lived country on earth. The Islamic countries you are mentioning are extremely old, and have beautiful cities to show for it, or at least they did before westerners decided to start meddling for black gold. And before the WASPy rulers of Britain and the US created Israel to both silence Zionist outcries and rid themselves of the Jews who were flooding out of the Germany area.
Also, you seem to be slightly confused with the history of Islam. It is believed to have stemmed originally from Ishmael, brother of Isaac, the indirect founder of Judaism. The sons of Abraham. Further, Islam was considered a branch of Judaism until Mohommad declared it a seperate religion in the 600's.
You also omit any differences in the branches of Islam, and the roles that it plays on their followers - for instance, a belief in Martyrdom only usually appears in Shia muslims because of Ali's martyrdom in 661 AD. Sunni don't believe Ali was a rightful inheriter of the religion, and therefore have no reason to believe his martyrdom is important, and therefore don't hold Martyrdom as a tenant of their religion.
This is how it was explained to me in every religion course I've taken, and I apologize for the spotty sources as most of this is from memory.
I like this idea. Since the government is already spying on everything we type in the US, I'd love to set up one of these SMTP bots to help with the flooding.
Funny, it appears that wikileaks has gone completely down. Either they've been slashdotted, or someone doesn't want this information released. Kind of suspiscious. Good thing I already shot off an email to the AP I guess with the manual and FOIA request verifying its authenticity.
I agree 100%. Quite simply, Bush knows what he is doing when he makes himself look stupid. Who would you believe is more capable of terrible evils, the intelligent man who carefully plots - or a doofy stooge who seems like a fratboy who never grew up and is obsessed with religion? Its a facade. He has played the religious right like fiddles. He is an extremely intelligent, and extremely evil man.
Ah ok, in that case we should wage war on the Jews because the Talmud states that Gentiles should be slaughtered like livestock - specifically Christians. We should also wage war on Christians because the bible states that every thankless child should be stoned, and a man who lay with another man should be killed.
Lots of religions talk about killing people for zany reasons, and the only ones who seem to really care are the crazies or nitpickers - you seem to fall into the second category. No religion is perfect, most poeple just realize that its more of an allegory than something to be taken word for word. As much of a barrier as you would like to place between 'us' and 'them,' and claim they are so barbaric, their society predates ours for a good 2-3 thousand years. I would guess that they understand that these are allegories as well... at least most of them. Granted, their religion is newer, but the people are much more cultured with a much richer history.
You, my friend, need to read some of Edward Said's writings on Orientalism and Occidentalism.
You are missing the point. The fact is, eventually we will hit that point. Until then we are utilizing a non-renewable resource which ultimately WILL be depleted. Until it is, its going to have constant negative effects on the environment. The people in the 1920's shrugged it off, and figured their kids would fix the issue. Same with the baby boomers. Same with the vietnam generation. Now, my generation has the ball.
I would like to see my generation actually take some responsibility and come up with a solution to what will ultimately be a problem as opposed to ticking our heads in the sand and ignoring the issue until it eventually blows up in our faces. Our parents screwed us over with a problem they didn't have the technology to fix. We have the technology now, so we better damn well fix it before we screw over yet another generation.
Its sad, but these are my thoughts exactly. Just like every promising cancer treatment, nanotech solution, or AIDS vaccine that comes down the alley. It just never pans out.
I agree its kind of a slashvertisement, but honestly I'd prefer to see everyone on/. know about this book before its completely illegal to practice any form of chemistry. I can only imagine that home chemistry kits will soon be as illegal as they were just before the revolution in pre-Bolshevek Russia. Because, you know, we have to protect the children and homeland security from the terrorists.
Unless you can find some leaked documents from the higherups authorizing it, or some people come forward and admit it. If they were using their servers without permission, that alone is illegal - and under antihacking laws, a federal crime.

Layer 4 snail protocols are in charge of resending lost snails. Obviously.
Anyone interested in investing in my new patented(pending) salt-based router technology?
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Not to mention if you read his response, he attacks the florida supreme court, and claims he will get them all removed from office. His career = over.
I really would love to see one of the botnet masters bring them down for gits and shiggles.
