you just made broad accusations with absolutely nothing to back it up other than "nyah nyah, you stupid Yanks!"
I only said "SOME american minds".. since when is that a "BROAD accusation"?
looks like u don' even understand your own languge dude!
Please, indulge me with some background and citations,
what makes u think you deserve the effort?
and exactly how many citations have you seen in the "UN sucks" comments moderated +5 around here?
or shut the fuck up and stop making "Well... you're wrong!" comments.
i write what i want, about what i want and when i want - it's called "freedom of speech"... you don' like it, i don' care!
and btw, if i say "you're wrong" without argumenting, it does not automatically mean i'm not right!.. it only means you can use your own brain to decide.. but i guess i'm asking too much from SOME people.
The UN outlawing spam will work as well as the UN law outlawing genocide.
an some american minds seems to work very fine, until they open their mouths.
u people know nothin about why UN was set, who did it and what UN did or does... you just blurt mindless crap you got from biased TV.
P.S. mod me flamebait or troll, it'll be an honour to get it from people like you!
I must say, my esteem for Apple as a company raises each time they communicate "normally" (i.e. without going through heavy PR filtering). So few companies do it nowadays...
translation:
"i must say my esteem for my neighbours raises each time they pee in the elevator (i.e. without going through that "act like an human adult" filtering)... so few people do it nowadays."
"...details available indemnification offerings from Novell, HP, Red Hat, and OSRM. So why not print a copy and send it to your company CEO."
the simple fact that you need an indemnification agreement when buying linux is enough for your email too go smell the trash-bin.
a responsible CEO cannot act in a "so, sue me" manner!
and btw stop bashing SCO, its not their fault.. the real culprit is the american justice system that allows them to do what they do!
it is still possible to call to those countries with the operator assistance and the fees are waived. Now let's see if this nice idea will be followed by others.
nice ideea indeed.
international call 1920 - operator please connect me with country xxx number yyy
international call 1990 - dial country xxx number yyy.. speak
international call 2004 - operator please connect me with country xxx number yyy
progress works in misterious ways!
and whats more interesting, is that people blame MS for viruses & troians and such... but for the dialers its not the fault of poor telco service, but the fault of poor countries.
The problem is that in dealing with social events, presenting events with no spin at all makes the report virtually worthless.
no it doesnt!... only your faulty sample does.
how about no4 : "10 members of the government army killed 100 members of "the fighters for blabla" army, because the "fighters for blabla" were doing so-and-so. It happened xx ours ago at location yyy."
thats objective reporting and it tells pretty much everything that happened... its me, the listener, who decides who's the barbarian, who's the patriot, the thug, the invader and so on.
* The list of the "coalition of the willing" mentioned only tiny, irrelvant countries, and skipped over really important ones: England, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands.
i haven't seen the movie so i have no ideea what coutries were mentioned... but i'm definitely sure that he mentioned too many... no oppinion poll, in any country except US & Britain for a very small period, ever showed support for bush... he got support from some leaders, but no countries!
as a matter of fact, bush was rated as a greater danger to the world peace than saddam in a lot of oppinion polls in many countries around the world... and as others said it before me : how stupid do you have to be to lose a popularity contest against saddam?
over how powerful the whole movie is, how evil my country's leaders are, how worthy of the world's hate my country is, and how stupid we are as Americans. Bollocks...
I was actually wanting to e-mail them all yesterday and give them a piece of my mind, but decided not to because they would probably turn me in to home land security.
now, this is the REAL PROBLEM!
your radio guys are entitled to an oppinion just like anyone else.. and you dont have to agree with everything they say.. but the moment you start to be afraid to tell your oppinion, its the beginning of all the ends that you dont wanna see!
this thesis is only a better documented, nicely written replay of a japanese experiment from some years ago :
the matsumoto experiment
and it surely doesnt mean the biometrics are not secure!
a complete biometrics based security solution has 3 "components" :
Something you know: e.g. a password or a PIN.
Something you hold: e.g. a credit card, a key, or a passport.
Something you are (biometrics): e.g. a fingerprint, iris pattern, etc.
their demonstration only fooled the 3-rd component of such a system... which means they got NOTHING!... plus, the most secure fingerprint scanners read the biometric info from under the epidermis(the outer "dead" skin) and are not so easily fooled with an artificial finger or fingertip... the fact that they tested cheap of-the-shelf hardware is not exactly concludent.
The whole study is just an argument against bad hardware and sloppy security systems, not against the usage of the biometrics.. while unfailible security does not exist, biometrics can make a big difference when used right!
I can see the use in business and public presentations. But other than the few home cinema zealots with giant rooms set up like theaters...
... and of course, the world only needs 2-3 computers and everybody will be happy with 640KB... slashdot is such a huge hit to my morale.. i mean, a community of supposedly smart people is told the same things again and again, at least once a week for many, many years.. but they still don't get it and make the same mistake again and again and again.. total bummer
and btw mister coward, nobody needs GIANT rooms... with a good projector one could easily have >100" images in a 15(fifteen) sq metre room... i guess you touched a good projector just as much as you played with your imaginary 24"
I just want to say that that is a VERY cool thing to do for the men and women who devote their lives to defending their countries. It's an often thankless job, and being away from loved ones with crappy communications makes it that much harder. Personally I think that the military needs to spend a little bit of cash on forward deployed servers so that things like that aren't needed.....
how comes that any post about us soldiers doing their jobs in a place which had no jobs for them is ALWAYS "ontopic" and "insightful" ?
plus, on top of being -1000 offtopic, this post is plain STUPID - see the military secret response.

"Civil Liberties Obligatory Department" was also rejected .. too insensitive!
did u moderated this as 100% Overrated CowboyNeal? or it was John Wayne?
CowboyNeal wants a new box to play his huge DivX collection and its too lazy to search for himself
