I think the right response is going straight to IPv8. This IPv6 stuff is a snoozefest. IPv8 is much better. And every person should have at least one OC-192 connection hooked straight into their home via the dryer vent. I know what you're thinking...won't the air coming out of the dryer vent slow down data coming in? Yes! That's precisely the point! If you slow it down that exaflood won't be so bad now will it???
Yes, eventually there was a better reason to have a separate room just for them. But as it states, the initial reason was just that poor widdle nashypoo had him some twubbles finding a conference room.
it's nice that it's so clearly stated exactly why there is this "war room". We have similar requests by various teams in our organization as if a war room is some amazing thing that you just can't live without. In reality it's almost always because some asshat can't be bothered to book meeting rooms in advance. If all the rooms are always booked, add more rooms. What you end up with is a room that no one else can use and except in dire situations, no one is using at ALL.
But if they used AAA games wouldn't you have also thought they were referring to a bevy of games that were either created by or themed around roadside auto service???
While the relevancy of space exploration/conquest is pretty low even now, the US of A has certainly done its fair share of "firsts" with regards to it. The great space race was an exciting time for US and Russia. Both countries showed that they had the ability to make it, and though the motivation may have been much less without the race, they both could have made it without the other being involved at all. The race had the added motivation of US fear of communism versus Russian govt fear of capitalism.
[offtopic?]Sure, the race to space didn't single-handedly destroyed the Russian economy, but with large capital expenditures like this, capitalism works itself out where communism is destined to collapse in the same scenario. I think socialism (the "friendly" version of communism) is a nice idea, but it really requires 100% commitment from every single person in the world for it to work. The moments someone wants more than they've been rationed, the dominos fall.
Given that his post is right above yours and his uid is significantly lower than yours along with the similarity in what you posted, I think it's statistically improbable that he is not your dad. I cannot be convinced otherwise.
A Blog can be identified via the following characteristics:
1. There is very little traffic to the site other than the bots posting link back comments still trying to fool google.
2. There is a flurry of postings near the creation date of the site waning down to many once a month with the six of the last 10 postings being the message "No time to post today, too much work. Will try to catch up later."
3. The posts with content contain many unsubstatiated statements proclaimed as fact all discussed in an exasperated matter in a hardly subtle attempt to garner emotional support from people they don't know.
4. There are very few comments to postings other than self-posted comments providing clarification or an update.
I'm sure there are other identifying characteristics, but these are the ones that you can count on...
Alright, fine, how about taking a car from Enterprise RAC for a day and returning it? Yes, I understand that it's information...bits/bytes/whatever and that you haven't directly taken a CD out of their warehouse. But you are getting the benefit of their service without the associated cost.
It is true that you can play a DVD in your home as a private viewing. The sticky part would be if you were having a party where people may have to pay to get in or something like that. Family over for movie night? A-okay.

Perhaps not as exciting to watch as people playing DDR in public, but just as dorky...BOY BANDS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Use of the chinese version of photoshop would be easy to test for, it has the lead-based paint bucket in place of the regular one...
Additionally, hopefully the incentives/compensation will encourage the RIGHT kind of contribution to an OSS project.
No battery, it runs on solid fuel rockets.

Just as "intrusive" as a police car patrolling the streets. Get off the streets if you don't want to be watched.

Sorry, but that's starting to sound a lot like the days of "All you do is create a new config.sys and add these lines to your autoexec.bat file!"
Okay, you're right. It only applies to blogs that would say that they are part of the "blogosphere" then...

Oops, sorry about that. I will try to be more vigilant in my quest for lame +5 funny posts :(
Dude you idiot, at least RTFHeadline if you're not going to RTFA. This is for linux....

Maybe the cell network got bought out and integrated into a larger one during the fire :)
I cared, but I was too busy waiting for the line to open for tickets to next year's show to post on Slashdot...
I just modded you insightful!
Oops...
That's nothing. I made a parachute from an umbrella when I was 6!

Yeeesss...so I can steal cars that I would never buy because then the value of what I stole is zero! What a grand stupid idea that is!
