One step closer to cheap space travel or just more sci-fi jive?"
Both this suggestion and a lot of comments fail to take into account one thing.
Although some device might shield against gravity, the shield itself will be affacted by gravity. So, even if there is zero gravity inside some sphere, the sphere itself vill rest firmly on earth.
Thus, no cheap space travel, but a lot of uses, none the less..
If the CD spins backwards, and reads data in reverse, why shouldn't you be able to write the bitstream in the order it
will be read?
Metadata ! You don't control the Metadata ! The writer does.. (Checksums start/stop bits on the media )
So even if you reverse your program bit for bit and write it on the disk, the reader won't find itn because the checksums won't work..
How, what happends when someone connects to your megastore ? You do a DNS lookup of his/her IP address. And that is supposed to be a trustworthy way to determine the location of said IP address ??
Would someone with in-addr.arpa access please say something like D.C.B.A IN PTR whatever.co.uk.
99% of webd don't do a reverse lookup.. That should teach'em...
Now for my question, what makes you think you have the right to impose your will on Slashdot, or your Teleco, or Microsoft?
WHAT ?? You got it all backwards mister. I have all the rights in this world that haven't been taken away from me yet, as do you.. And I will use them as I see fit .
If you don't like which stories/. covers, then start your own site.
Interesting, and if I don't like my telephone company I should start my own ?? And if I don't like Microsoft I should start my own software company ?? And if I......
Ah, good. Now that I know you're a loony, this makes it much easier.
? makes what easier ?? I sincerely hope that you haven't been losing sleep or felt depressed because of our little discussion here ?
Anyone who.. bla bla bla.. is a loony
Anyone who.. bla bla bla.. is a loony
Anyone who think that the US is responsible for "suffering" from sanctions is a loony.
Please. I see you are becoming desperate.. but I will still try to discute with you.. Iraq's neighbours, and Iraq's history of war with them, do not allow Iraq to just turn it's army into boyscouts. Iraq, just like Iran and the USA *needs* an army to protect it's interests. You can't realisticly expect them to stop running their army and stop buying and developing weapons. It's not Disneyland out there.
So when the US imposed sanctions just allow Iraq to sell enough oil to feed it's population, the population will starve. That's reality. Expecting anything else is just beliving in spiritual pipedreams.
I'd realy like to read the article you gave the link to but I can't seem to get it to work. Could you please either repost it or send it to "agust @ BioDef. org" ? Thanks. We could also take the discussion to email if you feel like continuing it.
The US and UK didn't create Israel. This is more loony speak. The UN did. Sorry to burst your crazy bubble,but I'm sure facts just bounce off of it.
You should take some anger-management classes, it might help you. UN, had just been founded and was a great too for those who won WWII to implement their ideas about the world in the name of "everybody". Saying that "UN did it" is like saying "the computer did it". It's just a tool. And at the time it were the UK and USA who called the shots. And don't forget that the land where Israel is now, was a political part of UK at the time.
Protecting the Saudis and the Kuwaitis is now grounds for killing office workers in New York.
Welcome to reality. Well, it wasn't exactly that the US was protecting "the Saudis" and "the Kuwaitis", but more *which* Saudis and Kuwaitis they were protecting (the families who control) If only the US would realise what effects their war efforts are having in far-away countries.
The view into your loony world is amazing.
Unless you are some kind of a spirit or ghost, it's your world also. No wait a minute.. You actually think that I agree with those terrorist attacks ??????? What on earth gave you that idea ?? I'm explaning *why* things did happen. And although I can see the other side of the coin, I don't agree with all of it. And I absolutely don't agree with killing civilians, although I can understand *why* they are the targets.
And why is a loony like you mad at the US for the war between Iran and Iraq? Didn't the USSR, France, England, and a host of other countries supply weapons to both sides? More crazy excuses from a hate monger.
Ahh, yes clearly you think that by showing you a different view I was agreeing with that view. Ahh no. I am simply showing that the US is not doing the right things to let this particular problem go away. The deep hate against the USA.
And although I hold no such deep hate I can see why the US are doing things like they do. (Economical interests) But I don't agree with what they are doing. Back to your "arguments", your arguments aren't even arguments. You can't justify a bad deed by saying "everybody does it". That is exactly what is putting many American companies into hot accounting-water right now. (and propably some people in jail).
There isn't
a single Arab democracy. This is a damaged society that wants to pull the rest of the world down to its
level rather than improve itself. When Arabs start trying to fix their own problems, America's problem
with terrorism will subside.
You are starting to see the light here. As well as some US officials are starting to see the light. The US could have changed the above problems you mention, a long time ago instead of supporting sheiks and oil barons. All in the name of cheap oil. And it's paying off real cool, now that the arab population is all up in arms against America, but the oil countries are to afraid to use the oil as a political negotiation tool against America. Because, after all, it is America who has hept them in power. (and likely will keep them in power)
It is in America's best interest to keep the arab countries up in arms against each other and to keep the dictators in power (at least until they start turning agains America).
And that is the thing that has to change, I think that if anything positive can come out of the 11th sept attacks, it will be changing what is in USA's best interests !
Please post the URL again, I'm always interested in reading well reasoned articles.
The American army (really, the American Air Force) didn't attack civilian targets in Serbia that weren't part of the war effort.
Of course, by definition, everything that is blown up, is a part of the "war effort". It wouldn't be blown up otherwise. You have a talent of making silly definitions.
The US, went after almost anything that could be defined as even remotely political, and boombed it. That included all and every property that was owned by Slobodan's supporters. That's how war works.
And it is a war crime to place military facilities in civilian locations.
I often think about why the American governament offices are found in the same buildings as nurseries etc... (remember the Oklahoma bombing ?)
Al-Qaeda is, quite simply, insane. They want to establish a world-wide Islamic caliphate, presumably with bin Laden as the Caliph.
You shouldn't belive everything that the US propaganda-machine spits out. Bin Laden and supporters want to make Islamic states more fundamental, and they don't want the western world to be in their way. They have no interest in making your country Islamic.
They are mad that Saudi Arabia asked US troops to defend it against Iraq.
True. Well, they are mad because the US did it.
They are mad that the British and French carved up the Ottoman Empire.
True.
All of these complaints have NOTHING to do with the US. But the US is the target, because it's the lynchpin of the modern world
Well, you forgot:
They are mad because of the thousands of islamic people killed by the American army in Iraq.
They are mad because of the sufferings of the Iraqian people by US imposed sanctions.
They are mad because of endless unilateral US support for Israel.
They are mad because of how Israel was created by the US (and UK).
They are mad because of how the US protects the governments in Saudi and Kuwait against it's own people, and prevents those countries from changing.
They are mad because of how the US has financed wars (Iran/Iraq for example).
So, if you're ready to worship bin Laden, you keep rooting for al Qaeda. I'm hoping those fucks are exterminated soon. Let's call it a difference of opinion.
And then what ?? Do you cincerely belive that if you could press a button and kill all of AlQaida today, that America's problems would go away ??
The 9/11 attack was a *revenge* attack, not
*first blod* as certain people would like you to belive. (and indeed many Americans belive so)
And no, I am not worshipping Bin Laden, just because I see his point doe not mean that I agree with him on how to correct the problems.
Even if all that weeks downtime came at once, six seconds is little enough that most users would just hit
refresh and never even notice. Besides which, most web servers are taken down for maintenance tasks,
upgrading software or disk, etc...Chances are even restarting the web server would take up more time
than your maximum weekly downtime.
You are not making the distiction between "server uptime" and "service uptime". When people talk about 99.something% uptime, they are ususlly refering to "service uptime". With proper hardware (redundancy etc..) you can reboot servers, change disks, memory and even routers and it won't cost you even 1 second of "service downtime".
Perhaps you understand what the phrase "to duplicate the functionality of the Xbox" means and I do not. To me it means to create a device that is not an Xbox but that can do the same things an Xbox can. This really does seem pointless
I think you are confusing *freedom to duplicate* functionality with "actually doing it". "Actually doing it" does seem pointless. But the freedom to "do it" is not, and has a value. (othervise Microsoft wouldn't have taken it away).
You wrote:
The FSF won't let you distribute programs linked against their libraries unless you comply with their license either.
Now, maybe you were just writing words at random and pressing *submitt*, but I assume that you wrote this trying to compare FSF's limits with Microsoft's limits. Please correct me if that was not the case.
Just because you want a device to do something, such as run unsigned software, and it can't, does not mean that your freedom to use the device is restricted. My car won't go 200 mph, but GM didn't restrict my freedom or liberty by building it so it can't do that.
It's funny that you are actually providing the counter-arguments to you own arguments. Just read over what you wrote;-)
Your GM car is a transportation device. If GM would have installed a device in it, so that your car would not function in Europe, that would be a limitation of freedom. (the fact that you will probaply never need your car to be able to drive in Europe is irrelevant).
And think about *why* GM is not installing a device that limits driving your car in only one US state.
Look, you're a rabid, lying troll. Give a single support for any of the wild claims you have made.
Tsk, tsk..;-) Let's scroll back 1 post.. It looks like *you* were the one who was making the claims, and I was calling you on them..
On the topic that everybody is a terrorist, depending from which side you are looking You wrote: TERRORISTS INTENTIONALLY ATTACK CIVILIAN TARGETS TO ADVANCE A POLITICAL AGENDA And I replied (and asked for some examples): Yes, ? And are you claiming that there is *ANY* army on this planet that doesn't attack civilian targets in times of war ?? Please, name one !!
Take the american army operations in Yugoslavi for example. And watch the Americans do it again in Iraq, any time now. But since it looks like you didn't understand my argument, I'l rephrase it: "If all of group (G) does X, you can't claim that doing X makes you a T without applying the definition to all of G)."
You also made the (unsupported) claim: Americans weren't targeting civilians on purpose in Afghanistan And I replied: This is a almost meaningless statement. They surely "targeted" and their "targets" were purely "civilians" and they surely had a good "purpose" for dropping them bombs.. What are you trying to claim ?
If you are incapable of telling the difference between thugs and defending yourself from thugs, then I pity you.
And where does this fit into the discussion ?? For Al-Qaida the Americans are the 'thugs', right ? I realy, realy don't understand what you are trying to explain.
You've probably been ruined by some teacher or professor and you're too weak-minded to think for yourself and realize their foolishness
I regularly look over my belives and 'truths', so I welcome any logical arguments that you mights have, but so far you have just whined and tried (without success) to attack everything else except my statements.
One where your own code is linked against someone else's libraries [slashdot.org]. The FSF won't let you distribute programs linked against their libraries unless you comply with their license either.
First of all, you are not paying for those "someone else's libraries" so you realy have no claim for a right to use the code.
Secondly, you could always duplicate the functionality of the libraries in question by writing your own code.
Now, in the X-Bos case, you buy the machine it's YOURS, and you have absolutely NO means of duplicating the functionality of the XBox (at least no legal means.
So, please don't compare apples and oranges and claim that since oranges can be sour, it's also ok for apples to be sour.
TERRORISTS INTENTIONALLY ATTACK CIVILIAN TARGETS TO ADVANCE A POLITICAL AGENDA.
Yes, ? And are you claiming that there is *ANY* army on this planet that doesn't attack civilian targets in times of war ?? Please, name one !! A HUMAN army, please, no jokes about ants please.
Americans weren't targeting civilians on purpose in Afghanistan.
This is a almost meaningless statement. They surely "targeted" and their "targets" were purely "civilians" and they surely had a good "purpose" for dropping them bombs.. What are you trying to claim ? That it's OK to target civilians as long as you *think* that there just might be one terrorist in the group ??
And how is that diferent from killing 3000 people if you *whink* that there might be 1 soldier in the group.
Sigh, you are Idiot, right? Terrorism has nothing to do with what "side" you are on. That's the typical moral relativist crap that people use to avoid making moral judgements that might mean they'd have to commit to taking a side.
What a load of American propaganda CRAP !!! I do take sides, and my side is againts all those that kill civilians. There realy is no justification in killing civilians, and specially not when you use weapons that you drop from 30000 feet and have no way of differenting between people when they explode. That's just cowardess..
Why just 'persecuted political groups'? (which I hope isn't another name for a terrorist organization).
Sigh, you are American, right ? *Everybody* is either a a terorrist or supporting terrorism !!!!!! Get this into your head !!! It only depends on from which side you are looking.
Do you think that Afghans who lost their relatives to American cluster bombing think you are not supporting terrorism if you supported the Afghan war ???
Sometimes it isn't the content that gives you away, it's the fact that you're sending traffic between point A and point B, and B talks to C, D, and E.
Absolutely true !
And sometimes human rights activists get arrested because they spoke to the wrong person. You are talking about mistakes here. If you embed messages in images you don't want to bring attention to those images by sending them off in a email. Instead you make them a part of some normaly looking webpage and let everyone download it. That is what is so cool about steganography, nobody will know about the secret message, and even if they know they can't find it unless they know the secret.

It's becoming a trend to do things you want, just if you can get away with it..
