I find it disturbing that you can justify the morality an action by citing prior instances of it.
I am sorry I am not sure what you are talking about there. The morality of promoting patriotism? I didn't think I was engaged in a defense of the practice of the military promoting patriotism.
And yes, I most certainly believe that there are some humans that need to be killed. And, I am glad you live a life where that harsh reality can seem absurd to you, but please recognize people have fought hard, died, and yes killed so you can enjoy that.
By the way what is wrong with promoting American nationalism? The military has a long history of releasing "documents" to promote American nationalism, and recently they have used TV ads!
It is an unfortunate reality that there are bad people, so bad they need to be killed. It isn't some smear campaign being conducted by selectively releasing certain documents. They are just that evil, well they were...until we killed them.
Did you look at the website? There is not a submission mechanism for translations. So, I guess your analagy would better be "Gates released a bunch of OS research to allow people to make a better OS that he would have no control of or knowledge of." And what kind of Ivory tower statement is:
most open-source enthusiasts out there are better informed than the average Joe and are more likely to be opposing the war in the first place.
I guess the enlightened few who spend their time hacking out code know to be "opposed to the war" (what does that even mean?).
But the problem is that this is no genuine attempt at intelligence, it's merely a showcase for unflattering (and, as the disclaimer attests, possibly plain false) documents and is meant to promote American nationalism. The very first document on the page is about how the bad-man Qusai Hussein ordered prisoners to be used as human shields during the US invasion. The document is more than two years old!
You have to be kidding me! The document is dated March 14, 2003; we invaded 20 March 2003. Of course the document is going to be three years old! Qusay was killed on 22 July 2003, in an operation by the 502nd and SF troops. Thanks to the hard work of soldiers on he ground in Iraq bad men (and unlike you I don't mean that sarcastically) like Qusay can no longer write orders that use civilians as shields. he can't exactly write more recent letters for you.
I read it as no axel, instead EM motors are turning the wheels at the wheels.
Magnet spins in the 110kW electric motor generating current, a long with the diesel engine, current goes to the motors in the wheels, spins the magnet in the 50kW motors, which physically spin the wheels.
Their example sux. Check it out:
Suppose my true preference is for the Libertarian first and the Republican second. Suppose further that the Libertarians are the strongest "minor" party. At some round of the IRV counting process, all the candidates will be eliminated except the Republican, the Democrat, and the Libertarian. If the Libertarian then has the fewest first-choice votes, he or she will be eliminated and my vote will transfer to the Republican, just as I wanted. But what if the Republican is eliminated before the Libertarian? Unless all the Republican votes transfer to the Libertarian, which is extremely unlikely, the Democrat might then beat the Libertarian. If so, I will have helped the Democrat win by not strategically ranking the Republican first. But that's the same situation I'm in now if I vote my true preference for the Libertarian!
If Democrats have more votes than Libertarians. And, Libertarians have more votes than Republicans (excluding democrat votes), then Democrats have more votes than Republican/Libertarian votes combined!!! Democrats win, gg, go back to Logic 101 do not pass go.
can not image how you could say that C/C++ has an advantage since it lets programmers create easy ways to have their programs trashed.
ummm...well I didn't say that so I guess your imagination fits reality pretty well, even if you are delusional on what I say:). You made a false statement; I corrected it; that is all. I am not defending or attacking Java, but you seem a little over defensive.
IMHO Java is just another language with its own set of strengths and weaknesses, for some problems it is excellent for others a different language works better.
"Tests have shown that using headsets, especially in-ear style ones direct more cellular radio waves directly into your brain."
Can you get a link on that? I see no reason why an earphone would be broadcasting the cell's signal, if this was true wouldn't there be antennas for cellphones that could plug into the headset port to improve signal?
lol, how turned around this has gotten. You argued he didn't know how to conceal his act, yet you argue that because this 18 yr. old who knows how to code therefore understood the implications of what he was doing. Inconsistant. I think he with out a doubt had the ability to hide what he was doing, and he didn't!
He could of and would of concealed what he was doing if he had worried about the legal consequences of what he was doing. The fact he made no attempt to hide that he wrote the virus shows he wasn't concerned with being caught. The deturring power of our legal system is shit if the criminals don't give a fuck if they are caught!
I am not saying he didn't know it would cause damage, of course it would(assuming he didn't introduce a bug). What I was saying is that despite this he didn't:
a) like a moral person, recognize this is immoral, and not do it.
b) like a lawful person, recognize he could get into some deep shit for this, and not do it.
c) like a criminal, think he could get away with this, and do it trying to get away with it.
He was in group d, he just did it without any concern for getting caught.
I don't believe he was concerned or considered the legel consquences of what he was doing. This kid is not retarded, he is not some eccentric; he was a kid acting without forsight, he didn't try to cover his actions up and he is not fighting the charges--he did not consider the legel consquences if he had he would have attempted to hide what he had done.
I find it disgusting that yoiu attack this kid on the ground he didn't conceal what he had done, personally I find it much more disterbing that he lacked the moral logic to recognize what he was doing is wrong he even lacked the foresight to see that he would be punished for what he was doing!
Stay on your high bridge, ignore the complexities that exist down here in the real world.
Some of my passwords are required to contain a special character, so at least for me it is 94 times as many possibilities per character added. So at our minimum of 8 character length the space has 77706755689029162836778476272940756265696273562085 5808500724963895561714082083
3992704 passwords(7.77e84). Lets say a machine that can do 5e12 passwords per second(5 THz of password guessing power). Still looking at 2e72 seconds to guess it or 62 centuries or so...if that is just to close for you go 9 characters...now its close to 6 millenium to guess it.
"It's pretty hard to get people interested in space when the only thing riding on it is a handful of integrated circuits."
Wow....so your claim is that Space flight is a new form of gladitorial entertainement? Its appeal is from having a person risking thier life to do it? That is one hell of a thesis! The truth is the general public does not care about NASA, and the people that do care I would hope are scientificly enough oriented that their interest in it would be the knowledge gained.

I would be happy just to see a bipedal robot that can beat me in a race (sprint or distance).

That will produce an unhandled exception error. And, doesn't even work if var is not type byte[].
byte[] x=new byte[20];
try{
System.in.read(x);
}catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
And you need to import IOException. icky.
Correct me if I am wrong, but keyhole is just an arial photograph database of a few cities last I checked.
DSL / Cable connection or faster * 2 GB of disk space I believe that is the hefty part.
An example that says headsets reduce exposure
"Tests have shown that using headsets, especially in-ear style ones direct more cellular radio waves directly into your brain."
Can you get a link on that? I see no reason why an earphone would be broadcasting the cell's signal, if this was true wouldn't there be antennas for cellphones that could plug into the headset port to improve signal?
Someone get a source on this if possible pls.
You avoided the H word! You work at Hanford!
there now lets see all the Hanford flamers go to work.
PS I grew up in Richland, and used to work at Hanford.

Yes he deserves the death penelty for a non-fetal crime against propety! O wait...
Way to keep that secret technique of using a computer not affilated with you under raps!! Thank god you didn't spread that secret criminal technique!

"they just spend way too much time playing video games"
the pro gaming community is very very diverse, and that is the only trait I would say is in common for all of them.
I will be amazed if it goes to court.
That way over palyed way to popular piece of flash crap shoudl be sued!
