Leave Iraq as soon as possible. Nearly no Iraqis wish you (or us, as my country is there too) inside their borders. Give Iraqi government enough money to rebuild their army and police.
We have been trying for years to make other countries fear us instead of love us, and if we abandon that policy, they will neither fear us nor like us.
You're wrong. At least in Europe, which has a rather strained relations with America, most people like America (and have many good reasons for it) and American people (altough this liking sometimes has a bit paternal aspect). What the world doesn't like is a couple of people around, and including, your current president.
To reiterate: yes, Bush was wrong. Yet his choices remain the least wrong of all the possible ones. America has only wrong moves ahead of it. We have been trying for years to make other countries fear us instead of love us, and if we abandon that policy, they will neither fear us nor like us. It's a wrong policy, but unfortunately, we have no other choice -- we have nobody brave enough to try to change it and risk not managing it.
Upon reading this, I instantly recalled that the same thinking led Germans to support the war effort in 1939-1945. Now, I'm the last person to compare Bush with You Know Who (a clever kludge to avoid the consequences of You Know What Law of Usenet) or today's USA with You Know Which Country, but the mindset is comparable. A country chooses a leader. A leader makes choices. A country starts to see the choices were WRONG. So what? Do they change their course of action? No, that would be too much shock to bear. They think up another justification for it: "we were wrong, but we have no other choice now". WRONG AGAIN. Look into history and see what comes out of it.
In the middle...the patient loses...control needs to be put BACK to the relationship between the Doctor and the patient....not the bean counters, and certainly not with a new bloated govt. bureaucracy (nothing is ever more efficient or well run as a govt. program).
Hospitals can be run by local authorities or private companies, not necessarily by the feds. Management structure of hospitals also can be changed. My main point was that you can have general health coverage available for all in a capitalist country. It doesn't have anything to do with who runs the hospital.
Your argument is flawed, because you suggest that one can have basic health care available for all only in a socialist state. This, pardon me sir, total bullshit. One can have a state-organized health care in capitalist state, just as we have state-organized army, police and prisons. And there is a good reason for state interferance in health care business: there is no such thing as a free market in health care, because the supply and demand are controlled by one party -- the doctors, with patients patiently following the herder. Plus, when one buyer (the state) negotiates the costs of medicaments, medical equipment, it can get better deals than when there are lots of independent buyers. Of course, apart from basic health coverage, you are entitled to buy yourself just any health care you want.
BTW, at one point of history, US Agriculture Departament employed more officials than there were farmer households in the country. US cotton producers are one of the most subsidized farmers in the world. So who lives in a socialist economy?
The problem is, you may be doing fools work, as we say here in Poland. What's point of fixing some error on Monday, if on Tuesday somebody inserts the same error, or another one? People are generally willing to help, but if they know that their hard work of creating a good entry may be destroyed by a wanton vandal, they won't put much heart into it. This is something different than submitting patches to CVS.
It's an interesting point at the very least, and I'm curious if anybody has any actual hard figures comparing a 64 bit process to a 32 bit process on as similar hardware as can be obtained.
It's not given that 64bit is always faster than 32bit. If you run in 32bit, you may have smaller memory-CPU transfers, thus your software may run faster.

i mean... all we're doing is posing people like cheerleaders - that surely isnt torture, right?

It's like forcing Jews to eat pork. Or forcing Christians to piss on a crucifix. Some people DO have values.

What's the point in magnifying raster images? Do you expect to see more details?
MY mozilla renders slashdot properly. At least what I see seems "proper" to me.
Depends on which part of the Bible (it's capital letter, like in "Buddha") you're reading.
Equating IBM with "the good side of the force" is not ethics, it's pure religion. We humble minions worship you, the IBM god...
Because the current state of law is unacceptable: it is not clear whether the software is patentable or not.
It may not matter for us, but it surely matters for IBM.
I you took your lessons from Buddha, after reaching your nirvana you wouldn't give a shit about other people and their worries.
Instead of buying MS stock buy IBM stock. Increase the amount of good in the world and decrease the amount of evil.
And, incidentally, increase the amount of cash in IBM's pockets. Please, don't mix religion with economics.

So now they tell us which words we should avoid... sweet. When will GNU tell me which thoughts should not enter the head of a true follower?
