Makes you wonder what would have happened if D-Day had been delayed by six months or so. They could have destroyed the Allied forces before they even crossed the channel.
I don't know too much about the weather in the channel, but wouldn't it be tough to invade during winter? Any delay in the invasion would have resulted in the Soviets taking more of Europe. There was nothing Germany could have done to stop that after 1943.
In fact, if you hack someone's machine, are you declaring cyberwar on them?
If so, what is the retaliation for a declaration of cyberwar? If somebody cracks a government site is their retaliation limited to a cyber counter attack, or do they bomb the piss out of the offender?
And what's so horrible about it? You found out that there was porn on the net?
The point is that not everybody wants porn in their face at any given time. I don't have a problem with porn sites existing, and would be a bit upset if they all disappeared. But when I do a search for a "Master of Orion 2" game page and get some porn sites in the list that isn't good.
It's interesting that nobody complained about the poor and education in the US while flinging $750k missiles at another country. Especially when you consider that the conflict was of little strategic value to the US and that they will probably pay a lot for rebuilding the area.
But when a historic project with plenty of scientific and economic spinoffs for the US costs a lot there is a lot of complaining and threatening to cut off funding.
Personally, I think that if you're going to lay down any kind of big money for a major purchase (computer, car, house,... ) you should at least do some research so you're not completely lost. If you go in clueless, then you get what you deserve... Why should people have to be an expert to buy a product. If you go to the doctor and he says you need some kind of expensive procedure when you really don't is that OK because you didn't read up on medicine? What makes this worse in the computer industry is that most salesmen I have encountered know as much as the average consumer.
Not all blank CD's sold are used to pirate music. They can be used as a backup or to distribute your own software. So why should my company pay a tax to recording artists when we back up 400MB's of project info on a CD?
Well what else should he call it? I mean it's politically correct to say "black community", isn't it? What is the politically correct way to refer to white people collectivly?
It's not politically correct for whites to have a community. If Blacks or Hispanics or Asians choose to have communities or organizations made up of their race only, they are praised for embracing their people. If whites do the same they are labelled as racist.
You cannot fix racism be treating people differently based on race.

However, in 6 months, shouldn't you be running Windows 2000?;)
I don't see that coming out untill 2001. Microsoft is going to go with the technical definition of the Milennium rather than the popular one;)
Marx assumed implosion. Specifically, that an already-industrialized society with capitalism run rampant would implode as the assets gradually shifted from the poorest to the wealthist. The proletariat would eventually find themselves unable to buy anything that they produce, meaning that the bourgeousie would not be able to sell and the whole cycle would devolve into chaos. The proletariat would revolt en masse and overthrow the bourgeousie, forming a collective. Incidentally, this hasn't happened yet in any large nation that I'm aware of --
But you can see how this could happen. The rich are getting richer especially in the US and there is a large poor underclass developing. The middle class is being sustained on a healthy economy but if something were to happen to the stock market or something you'd have a major problem. The middle class always has the bulk of the tax burden and has the greatest risk when the economy falters.

I believe the article said the objective was to get publicity and to have the footage of a rocket launching with the logo to use for future ads.
