Yes, but when we reach the point of declaring war against other countries just because they happen to have the oil we "need"... oh yeah. Look what the shrub just said:
"The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region, and establish a radical Islamic empire that spans from Spain to Indonesia."
Oh yes! The evil islamists! Let's crush them with our invincible machine tanks!
I can only imagine the terror and rage on their side when they find out they're not fighting against humans, but machines. So, upon WHOM will they take their revenge?
The companies are warned and can make their backups in time.
Anyway, I consider this to be a logical step forward, after all, Japan is one of the countries that have suffered most from earthquakes and Tsunamis, and they surely take the prevention measures against these disasters.
How can I access a partition in both windows and linux if it's not FAT? The other day i tried to make a DVD IMG, and this exceeded the FAT filesize limit (4gigs). I've read about ext3 drivers for windows, but they're read-only. Bummer:(
So make no mistake, without US backing, the UN would be nothing.
So, does that mean we should obey the US just because they got more money than us?
Fine! Let Bill Gates control the internet because he's got more money than everybody else. After all, Bill Gates has donated lots of money to charity! All welcome our Microsoft Overlord!
I hope this sarcasm exposes the logical flaw in your argument. Just because the US gives more money to the UN, doesn't give them the rights to CONTROL what the UN do. Is there a law in the UN that say that whoever gives more money, can buy the wills of the other countries?
Chapter and page, please?
Second, know that democracy in the US is a fallacy. [begin premise] A bipartisan system which replaces popular votes with electoral votes controls the way in which future governors and presidents will be elected. If I were a US citizen, I'd know that I might have the right to vote for an independent candidate, but I'd know also, that my vote will be worth NOTHING unless i can convince 51% of my state to vote for that candidate. Why can't I choose someone who's _NOT_ democrat nor republican? The US govt. has stolen the control from the people they should serve. [end premise]
Now, how does that matter to us the world? Simple! If the US citizens aren't able to effectively choose who will rule them, how dare some americans, tell the United Nations who will rule a GLOBAL resource such as the internet? Huh?
Third, if the UN is corrupted, that's because of the people currently in charge, _NOT_ because of the UN per-se. Otherwise, why not declare the US law as invalid, just because judges and presidents are corrupted?
Fourth and Finally,the UN is composed of 191 countries, don't you think those countries have the RIGHT to decide who will rule over a network they will use?
"As a graduate student at UCLA, Vint Cerf was involved in the early design of the ARPANET. He was present when the first IMP was delivered to UCLA. He is called the "father of the Internet." He earned this nickname as one of the co-authors of TCP/IP-the protocol that allowed ARPA to connect various independent networks together to form one large network of networks-the Internet."
Furthermore, the people involved in the design of the ARPANet were schools: UCLA, Stanford, the University of Utah, and UC Santa Barbara. And that's a group of ACADEMICS, not a bunch bureaucrats who bought votes with propaganda.
So, if someone must take control of the internet, it should be Vint Cerf, UCLA, Stanford, University of Utah, and UC Santa Barbara. _NOT_ the US government. Let's ask them: Who should control the DNS servers? Eh?
If you abuse people enough to steal them more money than they "stole" to you, you're turning yourself into a Prince John. Good, you protected yourself from the peasants. But what will you do when the robinhoods strike back?
I can only suppose that neutron stars have sufficient mass to bring about such a collision.
Actually, that's an understatement.
According to the wikipedia, a neutron star is about 1.5 times massive as the sun... and that would be about 1.5 × 2x10^30 kg = 3x10^30kg, but ONLY 12 miles in diameter. One can just imagine the gravitational force these things have.
I'd appreciate it if someone made calculation: If two neutron stars are say, 10,000 km far from each other, what will be the acceleration? (remember, the greater the mass, the greater the acceleration). And what speed will they have when they collide? Finally, what will be the kinetic force at the time of impact?
just sell Windows for $30, period? If the majority of OS they sell come bundled with great manufacturers... will they really lose a lot by offering Windows for 30 bucks? They can still sell it to manufacturers for $15.
Seriously - have you guys thought how many FSCKING FINGERPRINTS are there in the streets? Any glass, seat, trash can, paper, door handle, glass, clothes, suitcases...
sheesh! With credit cards at least someone had to steal it first! But now it only takes some scotch tape to do the job. What are those morons thinking?

Microsoft developed a "view once" neural movie format that will erase the corresponding contents of your memory after you play a video. This way you won't be able to remember what you saw and copy it to the unprotected and forbidden physical media.
Microsoft expects to ship its "Amnesia(TM)" DRM technology by the next year. However, the first people who tested it complained that their enjoyment experience was erased too. Microsoft is currently working on a bugfix.

Why should a network attack be any different?
Or, better yet, if they can correctly spell "metaphor". :P oops. Thanks for the tip, anyway. Non-native-english speaker here.

Well, I think it's good to use robotic soldiers to spare soldiers' lives... but shouldn't the enemy have their own robotic soldiers, too?
Otherwise, it won't be a war. It will be a masacre.
