Who modded this comment troll? This is ridiculous. The AC is right. We shold not "Brick every computer affected" just to prove a point and get people to protect their computers. We should possibly wipe out the bot through use of another worm but this worm should not cause any downtime or any damage to computers or hardware. This whole idea is illegal but highly moral. However once you start bricking computers it turns into illegal and highly immoral. Then you cannot justify it at all.
I don't know if you know this or not but the United States military complex is MADE IN THE USA. You want US jobs? Invest in the Military. I didn't say to go get in a bunch of wars. I said to do the prudent thing and be prepared for whatever comes our way.
Your post makes no sense when you understand that tree which are clearcut in the rain forest are not used. They are either burned or dumped into a river to never be claimed.
Actually you don't make any sense. Did you know that we spend less of our money as a percentage of GDP on military now then we ever have in our history as a nation since WWII? The opposite is true. We need to buy more F-22 and F-35 fighters because the unit price comes down as we buy more. We need to spend MORE on survivability of smaller vehicles so we can be more mobile and yet still functional. We need realtime battlefield information fed straight to individual soldiers HUDs and we need non-lethal systems in use and deployed now... not tomorrow. We need to take this job seriously and start acting like the superpower we are. I'm not talking about spending money on bombs. I'm talking about spending money on the right tools for the job to allow our military to be the best possible. No more congress cutting the number of fighters that they themselves already committed to buying. No more cutting benefits for Veterans. No more denying raises for the Soldiers working now who by the way get paid a fraction of civilian contractors in the same danger. Just cut that shit out now and pay what is needed to hold this place in the world.
The downside of you not reporting this guy was that his site didn't work. The downside of the FBI not taking the appropriate steps to actually check the reports on this family (which turned out to be false) is that everybody died. See the difference?
Did you forget to read my post or something? The whole thing was not started by the airline. It was one of the passengers who reported the family. FTA:
Officials said several other passengers overheard the conversation and became alarmed when they heard Sahin remark that sitting near the engines would not be safe in the event of an accident or explosion.
The airline already apologized, refunded the money, and paid for the other flight the family took that trip. Just get over it. Plus really it was passengers on the flight who started the whole thing. Like that old lady on the plane in that movie about Harold and Kumar.
First of all tires can very in durability by more then 100%. For example some tires may last 30,000 miles while others last 60,000 miles. Also note that the 30k mile rated tire may in fact be a safer tire. This depends upon if the tire is well rated in other things as well but in general it will have a softer compound which will grip the road better especially in the rain.
Nice in theory, crappy in reality. Insurance is run by scammers and they rip you off at every turn. They try to take as much money in and pay as little out as possible. This is why my idea (and a few others idea) is to have the government become a competitor in the marketplace for health insurance. They would offer at cost health insurance. Then the private companies would actually have to compete for our business.
Because I choose to run it. All the system needs to do is differentiate between when I click on something to run and when another programs tells something to run.
Yikes. The paid Microsoft trolls come out yet again. Look, yes Microsoft you made some nice features in Vista and yes you made the interface look pretty and you stole the OS X ideas and all that greatness. But look you FAILED at implementation. I know it sucks because you couldn't see these failures in the development cycle because you didn't have time to actually test anything nearly enough. Here is a list of VISTA implementation FAILURES...
Windows Search. It is a nice feature but it is also a resource hog and the checkbox to make it only run when the computer is idle is way to hard to find
UAC. Yes, it really is too annoying. If I click on a program to run it I don't want the screen to blank then pop back up then ask me if I really want to run it and then finally not run it because it's not compatible with Vista. XP had a fine solution but the one in Vista sucks.
Backwards compatibility that is non-existent. Seriously, was "Documents and Settings" so poorly named that you had to change it to "Users"? I know programs should have used the system call to get to the correct path but most didn't. This single change broke more software then anything else.
Running programs only to have all trace of them disappear even from the task bar.
VISTA only gaming. Are you freakin' kidding me?!
Resource HOG. Windows should not assume that I want it to use up all the available resources. This is a dumb assumption.
Broken File Transfer mechanism. File transfer's took four times as long on Vista as XP when it came out. Now Vista is faster then at release but still slower then XP file transfers. It's a file transfer. Only the most basic function of the operating system. Come on Microsoft!
I could go on but for your sanity and mine I will not.
Unfortunately that is not true. There are still moronic websites like those built into hardware web interfaces that don't work on anything except IE7 (Linksys, I'm looking at you).
Dumbest post ever! Yes, the tilt is what causes less sunlight to fall on a certain hemisphere of the earth. So the Wikipedia entry actually backs up my claim. In addition variations in the orbit of the earth account for solar variation on a longer scale.
I guess these guys never heard of the seasons? Like Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall? Obviously solar variation DOES affect the warming of the planet and why is it such a stretch to think that there are other longer term seasons as well?

You are correct but the parent was trying to be funny.
Ever heard of email? Just checking.

Ya, because nobody stepped on an ant hill two hundred years ago.

Wow, thanks for your false analogy. That helped a lot.

I like how your numbers get revised down since you had to look them up yourself.
You know what they have a lot of in Gaza which will burn nice and hot? Solid state rocket fuel.
Yes, but the Virtual Folder was not widely used.

No it's these specific Layer 2 web managed switches. The SRW2048 specifically.
Aww come on mods. This is one of the funniest posts of the year if you get the reference.

It should have been moderated -1 Wrong but that wasn't an option.
Make sense if you are going to post. Geez.
