Maybe, but I've worked in places that needed *more* bureaucracy. Then again, one of those was the place where we had to upgrade the comms because the construction workers were wasting too many chargeable hours downloading their daily porn. Just one written 'No porn in the workplace' document would have been nice.
Yep, and they didn't attack in 2001 because GWB had so much more experience than Clinton or Obama. The reason they haven't attacked again is because they don't have to. American has done enough damage to itself and its economy that Al Queda can sit back laughing their asses off and phoning in a few threats each year while the US has most of its forces in the wrong damn country.
As for throwing Iraq into chaos, do you know who the most effective leader at keeping Al Queda out of Iraq was? Saddam Hussein. The man was such an evil prick that bin Laden stayed away from him. We executed the right man there. Mission Accomplished!
Alright, fantasy land is over. Back to reality. By talking with someone who threatens to destroy you once they are capable of doing so, you sanction their beliefs and their threats. You make their lunacy seem all the more mainstream. They gain followers and you lose followers.
How many countries has Bush threatened so far? You think those people should stop talking and start killing Americans then?
If they're playing music loud, I ask them to turn it down. If they're shouting for my destruction, I call the police. See the difference?
Exactly, you don't just get the best armed guy on the block to start shouting back and shooting at people do you?
While you're at it, you may want to look at who's responsible for the whole Iran thing.
Ahh, so when it's convenient for your position, suddenly Iranians are not responsible for their own actions. They have no free will, no choice of their own. Back in reality, every second they choose to keep him as their representative to the world, they invite harm upon themselves.
No, I'm just pointing out that the Americans have played with Iranian politics already and did a smashing job the last time. I'm sure they'll do an equally stellar job this time.
Yeah, because talking is one of the worst things he could be doing. Talk is cheap. In other words, it costs us nothing. Now, if we start giving him things for free, that's a problem.
Quick question, what is the first response for noisy neighbors? Talk to them, or go over and burn their house down?
OK, how about 'protectees' then? Do we count Bobby Kennedy? Reagan was a close call too. McKinley was obviously the catalyst and we still have three months to see if the Curse of Tippecanoe was truly beaten by Reagan.
I guess my point is that the Secret Service aren't perfect and a determined assassin will get through.
Then again, I'm an Australian and when we lose a Prime Minister, we do it properly.
Didn't the Republicans have both Legislature and Executive then? Add to that the whole UnAmerican / Supports the Terrorists spin that any opposition to the party line was getting and I don't see how it couldn't have passed.
But then again, I could be wrong. Someone will be along shortly to let me know.
Think of the candidates like an iceberg. It's the rest of it that you don't see that's important. Bush's crew left and became McCain's crew. The man isn't the Anti-Christ, he just hired his minions.
More importantly, a vote for McCain was a vote for Rove and friends. Rewarding them with another four years would have been interesting in a Chinese curse kind of way.
And you're doing it again. You can't even name the state correctly. It's Western Australia, or 'western state' isn't capitalised. Ah, forget it, I've had worse insults from far better people than you.
Given the high-caliber people involved, I wouldn't be surprised to find this at the 'heart' of the system in question. The WA cops have been PR whoring again and ECU used to use cowan.edu.au as their domain but changed to ecu.edu.au because the first one was too hard.
$10,000 / GB? What plans are those? Let me guess, Wireless or Mobile.
I remember living with Telstra's 15c/MB for ISDN/DSL a while back. It was a PITA. At the time the Americans were bleating that it would never happen to them.
The worst thing about Google to me is trying to find support for a product I've already bought. The first few pages are almost always stores trying to sell me another one.
It was one of the standard MCSE prep questions back in the NT 4 days. If you wanted to run 2 or 4 (can't remember the exact number) processors on the desktop you had to pay 10 times as much and buy the server version.
There are uses for multiple cores / chips other than acting as a server. Think about high end engineering tasks. Hell, most jobs I've done, the desktops needed way more grunt than the servers.
Maybe Microsoft are being realistic about the development time for Windows 8. If it's as long as NT 5 (eventually renamed Win2k) or Vista, we may have 256 cores by the time 8 is done.

The much better question is: why is there a telnetd on the phone in the first place?

Houses are rootable. If you unlock your doors and hang out a 'rob me' sign, people can break in.

Oh, absolutely. It's just that you seem to have an abundance of white trash redneck klansmen. I guess it will come down to quality versus quantity.

As someone said on Australian TV today, who is Kev going to hang out with at the economic summit in Washington in a couple of weeks? Bush or Obama?
Yes, because when a lunatic leader sees he can make insane threats and then get a roundtable with the leaders of the world, everbody wins!
He won't be a problem after January 20.
Of course they can. They're going it alone just like they did in Iraq and Vietnam.
Incorrect on the wars benefiting noone. They're just another part of the corporate welfare. Somebody's making money from Iraq.

How many presidents have the Secret Service lost? They're good, but there's a lot of nut-jobs out there.
Anybody remember the L.A. riots after the Rodney King affair. Obama getting shot would make that look like a tea party.

You'd make a much better troll if you knew that the 'Central City' was named Perth.
At least we freed our slaves after they did their term.
