The levies broke (like they were predicted to). If Bush was awake during the meeting when he was told they could break better plans could have been made. Of course if he hadn't lied afterwards and told people "nobody could have predicted this" people wouldn't blame him so much.
Actually, I believe that they were crested. As for being Bush's responsiblity to handle the evac, if it were my town/city that was under the gun, I would first look to my Mayor/Governer to do their job. Sadly, there is enough blame to go around at all levels for this one. Besides, everyone knew that New Orleans was bound to get hit sooner or later. The city design was doomed from the start and who designed the city?
You are making the same mistake the US military is, fighting the wrong war, and losing both because of it.
Understanding how the "US military" functions helps when you dish out criticism against them. The "US military" doesn't choose who or what they battle in or for. That choice would be left up to the civilian elected leadership.
As for the MPAA 'fighting the wrong war,' they are doing what they can to discredit and place fear amoungst the masses about how wrong it is to use such technologies.
In 1956, geophysicist Marion King Hubbert predicted that _U.S._ oil production would peak between 1965 and 1970. In fact, U.S. oil production peaked in 1971, so he was pretty close. U.S. production has been going down ever since. This current article is about _World_ production. Hubbert predicted that would peak around 2000.
Though focus has been on the Mid East Oil reserves, I would like to believe that the Chinese are not the only "long term" planners on the Planet. I would like to believe that the greater economic minds of the early 1900's (not limited to the US, but the Brits & Canadians as well) knew that who ever had the last reserves had the best economic, and therefore, best political advantage on the planet. This resulted in the development of oil production in places like the Middle East and South America. Depleat their sources of oil and the only souce left would be located within the borders of the US and Canada. Granted it could possibly take hundreds of years, but it could happen. And if the three play nice with Russia, those reserves yet un-reachable there would add to the mix.
It's a shame that he wasn't able to use his full skill set working for that company. Nothing worse than being at a job you're more than qualified for but not getting to use all you know.
While on the subject, the cold war was a money drain meant to keep sucking up the GDP of an otherwise prosperous nation (US).
Double edged sword here. The driving economic factor was to stay ahead of the other. Without a common goal, do you really think the economy would have expaned to have such a large GDP?
they have oil, lumber, mineral deposits and a working industry.
Somewhat true, however they have no infrastructure to pull those resources out of the harsh environments that they reside in.
And to support your cause, we do have a form of communism/socialism, but we call it welfare.
If you'd pay that much to just watch the movie, why should you pay less because there's commercials? Isn't the movie itself still worth the same to you? Talk about crying a river.
The commercials pay for the movie. Just like watching TV, the commercials "pay" for the shows that are presented. If the commercials are paying for the movie, then what am I paying for? I don't want to pay to see commercials. It has nothing to do with 'crying a river,' it has to do with getting what I am paying for which is just the movie, not the commercials. Understanding that I could choose not to sit through them, but I'd prefer not to have them on the screen at all. I am paying for a ticket that is valid for use to see a movie, for example, from 9:00pm to 11:00pm, however from 9:00pm to 9:15pm I am watching commercials.
Let me guess, your in advertizzzing?

my point is that an ISP has a responsbility to not just protect its users from the internet but to also protect the internet from the user
IMO an ISP has no repsonsiblity to provide nothing more than bandwidth and uptime.
And I'm at work with this /. look at? Notice the whine, yeah, I'm at work...
The VC guys acutally believe the Vista Hype.

I take it testing is continuing on the Conroe?
You're asking a mostly *nix centric community about moving away from Windows?
So it will run my application that needs 8 processors and 12Gigs of memory, and is only compiled in Solaris 9? Yeah, good luck with that one M$.

Are you in the cube next to me?

A little out of touch maybe?
No, no, it just took that long to be signed off by all the department heads and then approved by upper management.
That if you are a "minority" your rates have just gone up?
because if I wanted to do the job myself, I'd have hired someone stupider.
I guess in the end, that makes you smartier.
No, but if the rebels had only had an Apple laptop they could have uploaded a virus and bypassed that whole shoot down the cooling vent thing.
That was not the real problem. The Empire was a large government and they obviously went with the cheapest contractor to build the DeathStar.
I'm serving 12 years for my trouble.
/.? I guess that's going to change the newer prison movies.
And can still post on
Perhaps. Or is it through modern media you are being made more aware of it which gives the impression that it's happening more often.
That's because he found more hair on his pillow.

What do you expect, I'm stuck in the Amazon...
Tell ME about it.
Dang. And here I was always hoping that you ended an edit session with :wq!
You mean a whole 1.24 million dollars. Talk about pushing the budget.
I cant wait until my first moon-vacation
Go to a spring break and you'll get your "moon-vacation."
