Just avoid the problem entirely - change your name. It's not expensive.
Hell, its the same anyone else would do if someone else started using your email address, isn't it?
Why should I have to change my name? He's the one who sucks.
Every slashdot story involving almost anything seems to have one person propositioning it as the truth.
At least for your first and second points, the radar is on top of a very tall ship, and the light house is also very tall. It's entirely possible to see the lighthouse or part of it without the ship's crew having the light visible, or any of the land behind it illuminated by radar.
Although that says nothing at all about the general plausibility of the story.;)
Check the history about the US war of independence.
Why? 300 years ago the US and Britain were enemies, and now they are friends. What happened 300 years ago has no bearing on how we should behave today.
I hate arguments like that single quoted sentence. It's like how some Koreans complain about Japan invading them over the past few hundred years and the domination from 1905 until 1945 as reasons to dislike Japan and Japanese today.
I don't even know where the anti-France thing comes from. I just view it as a funny running joke.
I believe women are actually space aliens from Venus that have come here to enslave our man peoples. This is my claim, so I say to you, "The burden is on you to find the proof, why should any of us have to waste our time researching shit you're just going to reject because you can't think for yourself."
Obviously you don't pay attention- the US doesn't torture because the Bush administration was allowed to legally define torture to exclude our "enhanced interrogation" techniques. No matter that under the Nuremberg Tribunal we convicted Nazis for using those same techniques; we don't torture because we use a moving definition of torture.
What techniques are alleged to be conducted at Gitmo that the Nazis were convicted for? I can't find anything online.
The US is also directly responsible for Hussein's execution.
Reread my original post, and read the end of the second paragraph here.
Actually, as I found out, the shuttle needs to quickly decrease their speed from 7.72km/sec to only 7.62km/sec in order to cause their orbit to intersect the earth's surface. That's even assuming no atmospheric play.
I'm not trying to be a troll. How else can I express it than, "What did you expect from a society that can't even handle Saddam Hussein's execution in a humane and respectful manner?" With the exception of maybe the US and maybe a couple European nations, every single nation on earth has a torturing apparatus as an official or de-facto part of their government.
they are attempting to make this an equivalent of the war in Iraq. Which is just plain stupid. Essentially the point the parent to my post is making (ambiguously) is "Bush invaded Iraq and everyone bitched, but Obama is doing 'military stuff' like associating NASA and DOD and he gets a free pass."
Your parent did not say that:
Well that's the point of the factionalisation and faux-rivalry of US politics, isn't it? To get people so divided into their allegiance to a party name that you can then pull the same shit with either party and only 50% of the people will complain whilst the rest are obliged to rationalise it somehow.
That's all your parent said. Your parent's parent said:
Imagine if... Bush administration did this... viz. militarization of space
You are really off base, here, and I'm not going to be nice about it.
I agree. Also, it's unrealistic to assume that NASA has access to technology that the military hasn't already procured from NASA. That is, I doubt NASA is with-holding tech from the DoD. Perhaps military space products can siphon funds from civilian-oriented projects, but aside from that I can only see civilian space exploration benefiting from such a decision.
Yes, I've never worked in such a situation, and since I don't understand why people would still use low resolutions, I brought up the issue so that I could learn more.;)
I found your post interesting, except for at least one part below:
Or, because she has experience as a command and chief of a National Guard unit.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=2483 [defenselink.mil]
In the event of an attack, members of the Alaska Army National Guard's 49th Missile Defense Battalion based here would use sophisticated surveillance and radar systems to track the missile through its initial boost phase, explained Maj. Joe Miley, the unit's operations officer. If the missile reached the midcourse phase, the Alaska Guardsmen would await the order to engage it.
She was never in the military and was never in charge of a military unit. I also take issue with your next part. She may be "commander in chief" of Alaska's forces, but that doesn't actually mean she would be responsible for any military style of command. She would be responsible for only political, a.k.a. civilian command. It is not the same, and to say it's the same is to be misleading.
Also, an interesting tidbit I stumbled upon while fact-checking my post: two of Para Sailin's sons are named Trig and Track. Wow.;)
Here's the actual buggy code.
The error is infinite loop in ConvertDays(), starting at line 249. The first loop does not cope with "IsLeapYear() == true" when "days == 366"
I'm really surprised that people on 14" and larger monitors could still be at 800x600 for any reason in a situation where it's IT's job to set up the computers. I doubt accessibility is an issue if you are having them use Office 2007 applications.
They know where the buttons were before, they knew what to do to do what they needed before, and now they are nothing but frustrated.
I strongly, strongly agree with the previous statement. However, this next part...
And don't even get me started on Office 2K7. Not placing an easy way to default to the GUI that everyone has been using since Office 97 was just plain stupid.
I see some people ragging on Office 2007, but I think it's an example of something Microsoft has done extremely well. The new interface is a fantastic change, and I'm really impressed with it. Defaulting to the "old" GUI would be a step in the wrong direction.
Do you really want an operating system that tries to "protect itself" from you? Vista is a huge, frustrating step in that direction. Maybe it's good for a lot of people, but it ruins my own productivity.

A couple of Nuclear Subs probably cut an underwater cable...
More like, a couple of Nuclear Subs collided with a satellite and probably cut an underwater cable...

Remember, a few years ago, when Google's satellite view showed a US Submarine in drydock with its propeller fully visible? That was a huge, huge deal.
Actually, it was Microsoft's mapping service that had this: Here's the picture.
And yeah, apparently it was a big deal.

Yeah cause then we'd have to read that shitty story that somebody is bound to post.

What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller.

Ohhhh, now I think you realize your fallacy.

our servers are named form the solar system ... moons too: phobos etc ... The death star is down, reboot!
You know that's not a...sigh, nevermind, I can't go through with it. :)

I just hope they don't lose this toolbox like they did the last one!

Are you one of those people who thinks that 90 + 10% of itself = 100? ;)

Wow, that was pretty cool. Thank you.
That's also why I spent a lot of time and effort preventing the alien invasion yesterday to ensure nothing happened.
