Traditionally its France and Russia who fuck the world over by making such sales. For example, they are the ones who continues to equip Iraq. Its worth noting, France and Russia were against Iraq invasion ONLY because it would mean they would eat large sums of moneys based on their illegal sales. Had it not been for their illegal sales, in the least, France very likely would have been pro-invasion.
Actually, contrary to your assertion, you post only indicates you have no idea what you're talking about. Please go learn some history. If only you could delete your post to hide your ignorance.
Qaddafi is not seen as an enemy of Islam thought most of the Muslim world.
By Sharia law, Qaddafi is an enemy of the Muslim world. For Qaddafi to not be an enemy is for someone to profess they are not Muslim, or are extremely creative in their re-interpretation of Sharia and Islam.
I'd be quite surprised if this buys us much good will outside Libya, at all.
Seemingly a position taken based on complete ignorance of that world. You're not exactly validating anything; other than uninformed opinion.
I blame parents, educators, politicians, and everyone else involved because not enough of the Adults are willing to stand up and say that this is unacceptable.
I blame parents. Period. With my two kids, I never saw anything which ultimately didn't directly lead back to total piece of shit parents who came into power, typically out of some need for recognition and pure ego play. If they had spent as much time simply being a good parent, there largely wouldn't even exist a need for something like the PTA.
A lot of teachers want to do the right thing, but simply can't. And a lot of the piece of shit teachers are empowered by the piece of shit parents who completely fuck up everything, including their own kids.
That reply squarely implies YOU'VE been buying the media propaganda. You honestly think for a second, contrary to the media propaganda, organizations such as the CIA don't know who they are supporting? The US would NEVER commit sizable forces to support their enemy. And it sure as hell wouldn't do it on a question mark; as was ignorantly depicted in media reports. If they didn't know who they were supporting, at best, you'd see a very limited number of air strikes from US/NATO forces. The fact NATO was so willing to jump on board immediately tells you, contrary to any lies you've been fed from US media conglomerates, both the US and NATO see a bigger picture here and none see it as supporting someone worse than Qaddafi.
You've been played a willing fool. Here's a hint, if its been reported by mainstream US media, chances are very high, at some some portion of it is a complete lie. Verify, verify, verify. Here's another hint, outside of the US media conglomerates, no one else is playing up the, "Who the fuck are they", card. That again does wonders to validate they are lying to you.
Your comparison of monolithic vs micro being like emacs vs vi is also completely wrong and misleading. There are real advantages to microkernels. That's not to say they are without their detractors.
Back when micro-kernels were deemed to be the new up and coming kernel technology, they were critically researched. Pretty consistently, the research indicates micro-kernels win in theory but pragmatically, performance demands monolithic kernels. As such, hybrids are now considered to be the winners. You'll notice Linux and Windows both approach the hybrid-ish solution from two different sides. Accordingly, its pretty universally accepted, hybrid solutions are the preferred solutions. This is a fact even after Microsoft changed their kernels long after Linux preached it.
Of course, if we accept the defacto and pragmatic solution (as spoken by industry now) and extend it to your emacs vs vi metaphor, we can conclude the real winner is emacs + viper. But again, I don't really agree the metaphor is appropriate.
Qaddafi has been a pain in the ass to the US for a very long time now. An overthrow of Qaddafi does two things. One, it likely brings in better players and two, buys good will from the Muslim world.
Right now, one of THE biggest weapons extremists have in their bag of weapons is misinformation, propaganda, and flat out lies; whereby the US (and the West) is generally the scapegoat for everything. Thusly, which is why, "America is Satan", is farted daily. Literally, they still recruit by claiming the Crusades are still on and the US is leading the Christian charge. This is why fucktard Christians who insist on stupidly claiming this is a religious war, need to be shot in the head. It literally would make the world a better place. All it does is empower the terrorists while spreading Islamic propaganda and hate. Of course, that complete ignores that you would have to be a complete fucking idiot to believe this is a two sided religion war - but Christians, just like Islam, have plenty of complete fucking idiots to spare.
Long story short, overthrowing Qaddafi will literally weaken a lot of propaganda which originates from terrorists and scapegoating regimes.
"We need you to fight the Crusade against the Great Satan!"
"Didn't they just help millions of Muslims?"
And of course, it makes it harder for extreme regimes to continue their scapegoating policies and will help force them to deal with their local issues rather than continue the same old lies and propaganda.
Really, we aren't performing drone strikes, incursions, and firefights with Pakistan's border patrols on a daily basis? No, nuclear weapons alone does not make you immune from US military involvement, having a stable and friendly government is the only way to partially insure that.
Extremely bad example. The US is basically propping up the entire Pakistani government. The US has more or less free reign to whatever its wants in Pakistani so long as the government can freely denounce it on TV and radio. Realistically, Pakistan needs to be nuked to ensure all of their nukes are destroyed. If the US backed government falls, chances are very high a terrorist nuke will originate from Pakistan. Pragmatically, nuking Pakistan isn't an option though realistically, its likely the best option to ensure the minimal number of innocent (as in peace loving, non-extremists) people actually get nuked.
Basically, the Pakistani government is pro-US because they are paid by the US to be so. The people, on the other hand, are largely ignorant, uninformed people, who tend to have extremists leanings. This is why coordinated efforts with Pakistan have a habit of going to shit - because they have extremists terrorists everywhere, throughout their ranks. Which is exactly why should the US stop bribing their government and paying for weapons, things will go to shit really fast there.
The simple fact is, the Pakistani government isn't threatened by the US, therefore, nukes play zero in the relationship. If the current government falls, expect the policy to instantly change. In a nutshell, the current government can not exist without US support.
There is no shortage of poor school districts. Believe it or not, there still exists many a school whos total population may be a couple dozen. That's just one example. Contrary to your ignorant assertion, many schools have tiny, tiny budgets and can barely afford to open their doors, let alone educate students.
Just because you're uninformed and jaded, doesn't make it so.
Far too many people look out of country for philanthropic work when far too often it makes more sense to contribute locally.
Sometimes, even small schools and school districts have needs which their local funds can't accommodate. Education is an all too often overlooked subject.
Not really topical at all. Those contents have a massive pro-Christian, anti-evolution slant. Even if they did believe in evolution, they would be taught to speak out against it otherwise they have a very small (if any) chance of actually winning.
May be, but IMOHO, because of how poor the education system has become in the US (largely thanks to the no child left behind movement), the majority of people don't understand the extreme importance of every amendment contained within the Bill Of Rights. People are literally happy to relinquish their rights, usually because they are too uneducated or afraid of ignorant and completely unjustified fear mongering.
Accordingly, the majority of states have extremely unconstitutional state laws; frequently which specifically target the second amendment rights. Furthermore, most people are too ignorant and/or stupid to know and/or acknowledge the second amendment is not only what empowers the first amendment, but only as recently as WWII, is the primary reason the continental US was not invaded.
Even recently I have been told that the tyranny of McCarthyism should be once again embraced, in the name of terror prevention, and that failing to do so makes you anti-government. And the really sad part was, this was from TWO people, whereby they absolutely were not trolling, and at least one had a four year technical degree. This was on a technical forum.
Without a doubt, stupidity is alive a well and the stupid masses are working overtime to dis-empower, if not out right destroy the protections afforded by the US Constitution.
You just have to love the validation of my post above.
Let's get this straight. A completely off topic article, which should never have made it to slashdot is in fact posted on slashdot. Accordingly, now topical posts which point out the post is in fact off topic, whereby the post which points out the off topic post is now topical, has been moderated as off topic. Wonderful validation of the lacking intelligence of slashdot moderators these days. Which only further proves slashdot really has fallen.
Of course, being able to apply intelligence enough to follow this line of thinking likely means the original post/article which spurred the need for these posts means the original post would have never been permitted to appear on slashdot in the first place. But hey, intelligence and sane moderation is certainly not slashdot's strong point these days.
That's like owning a junk yard and bragging you own 100 cars. Bot all aircraft carriers are created equal. In fact, only a tiny handful are worth mentioning.
You also missed the fact that back then, battleships were still considered the predominate projection of military prowess. Which is exactly why at the beginning of the war, our armed forces sucked ass. Its also why the dramatically inferior Sherman tank was our main battle tank. It sucked ass. Furthermore, its also why the German's employed US technology, with the US passed on, for their own, vastly superior and more maneuverable main battle tanks.
In a nut shell, the US had a navy. At the beginning of the world, IIRC, it was ranked number three or four in the world. Traditionally, the British Navy help the number one spot and arguably it was displaced by the Germans.
So holding up a completely useless and meaningless metric is just that - meaningless and useless. Beyond that, outside of naval power, the militarily and economically, the US sucked between WWI and WWII. Perhaps you've heard of the great depression.
So you're very clearly saying two things. First of all, my post was witty and funny. Second of all, twitter is only good for telling extremely short, witty jokes. I don't disagree. Beyond that, twitter is largely useless.
(after all, Google has been playing with fire all along)
How so? They specifically created a technology base from the ground up which is superior to to Java ME and is NOT a derivative work. Your argument implies either you're being spoon fed misinformation from Oracle, or that all technology development is, "playing with fire." Can you clarify what you meant because I seriously doubt you meant the later and its not clear at all how the former can be the least bit true.
And in yet more exciting Linux 3.0 news, the RT tree has been rewritten, allowing them to finally move forward of the 2.6.33 kernel. The re-write better leverages SMP (per traditional kernel implementation), is dramatically smaller, easier to read and maintain, and leverages more stock kernel facilities rather than poorly implementing its own.
