There's a 16 year old girl being hung by a crane for speaking out against her government, her "judge" is the one putting the noose around her neck, and you're worried about cows being turned into burgers amd calling the difference "arbitrary".
All I can say is: wow.
Little bit of advice (if you don't want advice, then read no further): It wouldn't hurt you to rethink your reasoning. I do it for most every issue every couple of years. Start fresh, look at a variety of sources, try to ignore the sources you're used to. If, when you're done, you come to all the same conclusions, then great. Usually I don't change my mind much, but I have, on occasion, changed my outlook quite drastically. What do you have to lose?
Is it just me or do those pictures look like they were all taken at work after hours? Lights are a little low, but there's definitely some cube walls in the background.
Germany's money is contingent upon all the rebellions in the area stopping and the countries and the rebels all making up. It's also long-term aid. It's a nice number, but there's nothing there (yet).
Australia has been great.
The US is not currently the highest in monetary value, but it is a felony for any one to promise aid that has not been formally approved by congress. Hence the stop at $35 million and then at $350 milllion. Of course, private donations are somewhere in the $320 million range right now.
The complete carrier group that we have in the area is honestly priceless right now. As are the over 10,000 military personnel that have moved into the region.
It'll never get any media play (outside of the standard conservative media channels), but if not for the super evil US military the death toll would dwarf what it currently is.
I agree. The oppression of entire country by some sick sadistic islamofacists is no big deal! Doesn't affect me, so who cares?
Same with South East Asia! It's their problem, right? Oh who cares if, like those in Iran, they're not able to help themselves, screw 'em (as Kos would say)!
Oh wait, that doesn't quite fit into your idiotic world view, now does it?
woman being battered" in a few of the middle eastern countries. Sure, I think its wrong, like anyone. But that's *my* belief, not necessarily theirs.
This whole worship of cultural relativism makes me sick. How can it be anything but unacceptable that people are beaten and horribly discriminated against just because they happen to be a female? My god people. The intellectual dishonesty is just amazing. Oh, and woman aren't just "battered".
"The lower court judge was so incensed by her protestations that he personally put the noose around her neck after his decision had been upheld by the Supreme Court", the sources reported.
Plenty of pictures. They string her up using a standard construction crane and leave her their hanging for everyone to see.
Friday 27 August 2004 in the Germany-based internet newspaper Iran Emrooz, Dr. Hoseyn Baqer Zadeh, an Iranian human rights activist observed that the laws of the Islamic Republic are the "most inhuman, segregationist, insulting and discriminatory" against women.
LOL - He didn't break anything. The news was out there for months. It just wasn't getting a lot of play in the media. Then the pictures appeared and blamo! tons of coverage.

No, the "law" was later adjusted to 18 months. Originally it was every 12 months.

Moore's "law" has nothing to do with Hz.
From webopedia (môrz lâ) (n.) The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future.
The second issue was created by the way that Mozilla's browsers handle news:// links to newsgroups, hackers can easily create false links and create a buffer overflow (Mozilla 1.7.5 and below, Firefox versions before 1.0).
The first issue was for all versions (for Firefox and Mozilla), as was the third (for Firefox and Thunderbird).
Well, there are radio stations (and groups of radio stations) that use antenna arrays to broadcast, instead of just one antenna. They're typically in pretty close proximaty to each other.
I wasn't saying that the current techs are the end all, just that all we ever hear about are all these amazing magical technologies that will blow the existing techs away.
It's like they issue these marketing FUD filled press releases the second after the scientists make a discovery that could, possibly, in 10-15 years, enable them to develop a new display technology.
This is the same nonsense that's posted about every new technology out there. How many times have we read about a new display technology that's going to be better/faster/higher quality/cheaper/stronger/smarter/prettier/jumps higher/etc than LCDs and Plasma.
Every single one of them. And in reality that's all just a bunch of marketing BS. Maybe it might be true when they massaged their 20 year sales projection numbers the right way, or if they stretch the truth on performance to the very edge.
Unfortunately, Slashdot, like every other site, gets sucked into the better/faster/cheaper nonsense everytime it comes up.
The specs for te 7K500 (500GB) include 817 Mb/s max. media data rate, 8.5 ms average seek time, 7,200 RPM, 4.17 ms average latency, ATA-100/Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s.
While it's nice to something as fast as possible, is there a point to have a 3.0Gb/s interface to a product that can only handle 817Mb/s?
How is this "projection"? That's wonderful that a decent amount of people use it to download debian or gentoo or whatever else. But that still doesn't make my statement invalid. I mean seriously, suprnova.org probably was responsible for more traffic in one day than all the linux distributions were responsible for in one month.
Come on. Seriously now. Why must we all be so blind to this? Bittorrent has a plethora of legal and worthwhile uses. The problem is that the majority of users out there aren't using it for that. Arguments of "I don't use it illegally! I download linux with it!" are pointless.

A little difference. That mini-itx one is just a lego box with the parts piled up inside and the back wall doesn't even exist.
This is a higher quality production by far. A two year old could make the one at mini-itx.com.

Those are pretty damn impressive though.

Oh, wait a second. He was 16 when the war ended.

Iranians and international community expressed outrage at reported execution of the 16-year-old Ateqeh Rajabi on vague charges of un-Islamic behaviour.
However, informed sources revealed that Ms. Ateqeh was sentenced to death by the judge, a cleric, because during the "trial", she expressed outrage at the misogyny and injustice in the Islamic Republic and its Islam-based judicial system.
"The lower court judge was so incensed by her protestations that he personally put the noose around her neck after his decision had been upheld by the Supreme Court", the sources reported.

so, 80% of 100% or 80% :)

Take a "quiz" to see if you can separate facts from fiction with the whole "torture scandal".
Here's a good question for you:
8. How were the pictures made public?
A. Discovered after months-long investigations by reporter Seymour Hersh and 60 Minutes producer Mary Mapes
B. Handed to Hersh by Gary Myers, his old pal from the My-Lai court martial who was coincidentally representing SSG Ivan Frederick, the highest ranking individual charged with torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib, immediately after the preliminary hearing in which they were released to the defense
C. Handed to a representative of 60 Minutes by relatives of SSG Frederick
D. Discovered posted on weblogs operated by the guards
Hint, it's not A, B, or D.
So, you're really going to go with the attack of the splodydopes?
Or possibly hot maple syrup bombs?
Watch out, here come the beavers!
They almost bought a busted ass British sub! But then it caught fire at sea.

Well, no, not really. They just know how to tell you to insert the restore CDs, follow the onscreen prompts, and call back when you're done.
Oh, and we won't bother to tell you that what you're doing will in fact wipe your hard drive.
(not that I've had this problem, but I know people who have)
Yeah, unfortunately the software crashed shortly after finding that, so I couldn't read the explanation.
And now it won't start up again... so, oh well.
I do it to piss people like you off.
I just like people to be honest in their discussions and not try to pretend that something isn't a problem.
