No, we didn't. The goal is NOT to kill as many people as possible. That is just a means to get to their goal. Most of the time terrosist want either to draw attention to them. This so they can use it as a leverage to get others to do what they want.
i had nail clippers taken from me. the pointy part was ~ 5 or 6 millimeters long.
My grandfather and his friends took with them a coin that they sharpend so as to put them between their fingers when they were fighting.
And look at Japanese fighting sports. EVERYTHING can be made into a weapon. I am sure that whith a bit of ingenuity, you could make knifes of stuff you buy at the airport. No McGuiver stuff, just breaking a bottle could be enough.
So he will do this much earlier. Or is there some physics that makes an explosion 30 minutes before landing more dangerous then 1 hour and 30 minutes?
People smuggle drugs on planes all the time. (They put in in places where some people keep their watch.) One stick and two matches should be enough. And I am sure that they will be able to put the match on the stick. It is not that they need a fuse. That is only there for safety.
And you are sure this did not happen? And you are sure that he was the only person giving information to the CIA? People ratted out others in Afghanistan and Iraq for money. The fact that those people were innocent did not stop them from getting the money and the people being deported. Don't forget, everybody is guilty by association.
It is "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon". That is one random person. That means you will be 6 degrees away from a terrorist. The difference is that all people in the 5th degree will become a terrorist as well. Now you are only 5 degrees away. Obviously people in the 4th degree are all terrorists, as they have contact with terrorists. So now you are only [some steps snipped] You are the enemy.
No matter ho many degrees you are away from a terrorist, you will be someone to be watched as you have links with terrorism.
I am amazed that police could get a charge just for that. Where I live all they could do is pull you over and then take a breathalyser test, which might be followed by a blood test. Only then can the person be charged. I could walk on my knees out of a bar, get into my car and drive away all over the road. But unless some medical est has been done, They could not charge me with DUI. Dangerous driving? Sure and even contempt of the police if it was that I was sober and did it to play with them, but not drunk driving.
Now if he does not have a breathaliser test in his car, he could call for a unit and/or take me to the office and call for a doctor tto do a blood test. Only THEN can they charge me of drunk driving. So there must be an objective proof, not a subjective one. The subjective is only enough to pull you over.
During this time of the year there are many controls where they cut of the road (including highways) and check each and every driver. This year drivers who are tested negative in those tests get a code and can win a car.
So say I did this when I was 18. They put my name online for all to see. I bettered my ways and am now not drinking anything at all. Yet after 40 years when I am looking for a new job, somebody finds that I used to be a drunk driver and decides not to hire me.
Corporate Intranets with no budget for upgrades are what keeps IE6 alive.
It is the lack of budget that forced us to think of an intranet that was accesible for all browsers now and in the forseeable future. It also is the reason we go 100% open source. This because we learned that it will cost in the end more if we don't.
So you say that with Vista, IE8 will be the one that will be used. Don't forget that in Europe there will be a choice and we will have to see if this will have an influence or not. Could be that many companies are going for Firefox or even something else as installation will be just as easy and security can be different. Obviously some will still be forced to work with IE as their aplications otherwise won't work.
Where I work we use both IE and Firefox as some things we need to do won't work in IE and others won't work in FF. Unfortunatly none of them are things we can deal with directly.
I think that might be going a bit far. What it is testament to is that we're all fed up of shitty pop.
If that would be the case, there would be no reason to point to something else. People would just not vote for it and/or would not buy it.
The fact is that people DO like shitty music. There were times that Abba was considerd shitty music. There are people who call Mozart or Bach shitty music. Or as the Frensh say: Les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas. "Tastes and colours are not argued over."; one does not argue over differences in taste, to each his own.
So to me it is just a testament of the workings of social networks. This was done in the past in Belgium where they 'voted' a pretty rediculous song to the first place of the top 1000 which is broadcasted each year. This happend in 1998 and was mainly done by people forwarding emails.
What I would like to do is to send out the same email, but then ask for e.g. "Child in time." to become first, which is almost always does. Would they then remove it (only played 30 seconds and it was not officially recognised) as well as they did with "Er staat een paard in the gang"? I doubt it.
But when your boat is sinking, all of a sudden everybody's willing to help.
The whole world is sinking (ok, the water is rising), yet we are not even sure if we should believe the majority of scientists or the few politicians. Anmd regardless of the cause, there are many who say that helping is useless, because the sinking will happen anyway.
Apparently you think that I must know the language perfectly. I thank you for thinking my third language is good enough to be taken for a native speaker. Otherwise you would just look like a looser.
Indeed it would be interesting to see. Could be that IEs popularity rises because people make their own choice instead of letting either some geek or some corporation do it for them.
Why not just change the icon? And why do you change things for people they clearly do not want. You are forcing you choice upon them just as Microsoft does. I give people the alternative and if they don't want it, fine by me, but please do not come by and ask for any further help.
This is not about the idiots making stupid choices. This is about the idiots having the ability to make a stupid choice. Perhaps there will be idiots who say "Finally I can have my IE back and not that firething my geeky neighbour forced down my throat."
This is not about forcing people to use alternative browsers. It is about giving people a selection to choose from. Just like you can select to eat in a fancy restaurant (or even cook your own food) does not mean McD is out of business any day soon. It means it is you can pick your own poison.
It would be great if the next step would be to have a selection of various operating systems to select from at first boot.
I use advertisements on most of my sites not because I want to make money, but because I want to pay for the site.
Same difference. You place ads so you get money. The fact that you put that money back in the site is irrelevant. It does not matter what you use the money for.

Don't ask /. Ask him. What does he want to do. Does he has already looked at him and let him know that you are willing to help.
Most likely he will try to figure it out himself.
No, we didn't. The goal is NOT to kill as many people as possible. That is just a means to get to their goal.

I think the drawing attention worked pretty OK.
My father might have said the same ting about me. So now what? What If I warn the authorities about YOU?
"I see somebody is lighting a bomb and I want to prevent that by leaping over several chairs"
"Please remain seated, sir."
My grandfather and his friends took with them a coin that they sharpend so as to put them between their fingers when they were fighting.
And look at Japanese fighting sports. EVERYTHING can be made into a weapon. I am sure that whith a bit of ingenuity, you could make knifes of stuff you buy at the airport. No McGuiver stuff, just breaking a bottle could be enough.
It gets worse when they say "I am just doing my job". Sounds to close to "Befehl ist befehl!"
So he will do this much earlier. Or is there some physics that makes an explosion 30 minutes before landing more dangerous then 1 hour and 30 minutes?

The Internet doesn't forget.
Your joke is better then mine. The only thing I could come up with was: "I would like to see a movie of Uranus."
One could argue that people who do NOT pay won't be able to see it and this MIGHT entice people to start paying who are not paying now.

I thought the war on drugs was already won?
Also be aware that supply and demand is standard economics. Just legalize it and then tax the hell out of it.
