I agree the U.S. has been involved in wars without proper adherence to constitutional procedure and abusing rights of people without due process, but in this case Al Qaeda is not a nation, though they wage war on the U.S. the Constitutional process for war declaration does not apply. Only the Executive branch with its mandate to protect the U.S. from enemies applies in that particular case. The detaining and abuse of peoples, and the declaration of intent to do the same even to U.S. citizens, is a separate matter to the handling of bin Laden and Al Qaeda leadership.
HP has to beg a single vendor to continue producing wares for it's dying chip, because that is the only remaining justification for producing servers based on Itanium. Give it up already HP. Oracle has no such contractual obligation.
nothing unlawful about killing the head of an organization that is waging war on the U.S. Pakistan is an economic dependent of the USA, we pay to among other things wage war on certain groups within their borders (which we've done again and again). As long as they continue to suck on our tit, but harbor enemy combatants, they can and will take it up the ass each and every time we choose, with no recourse. That's the real world.
we'll have to see the contract, but I suspect Oracle can quite rightly claim that portions of the planned Itanium design never appeared, this chip Intel is making is not an Itanium as defined years ago
that's a laugh, OpenVMS is alive and well, supported, and gets new features added with each release. The Alpha was 1990s, plenty of other chips have fallen by the wayside since then, get over it
but the chip being sold as "Itanium" is missing some of the original claimed core capabilities, Oracle could easily prove "this isn't the Itanium we were contracting for"
Being religious about what platform you use is a sure sign that as an IT professional you are ready for replacement.
That's a silly statement as I endorse, am proficient in and support over six quite different operating systems. But you only know perhaps the two you mention, but you think I am the one with narrow mind? If a person like me points out that one particular operating system has severe issues compared to five others in common enterprise use, it actually means something. Sorry about your failure to make a functional Linux desktop, I've found it superior to windows for quite a few years, with less issues than my windows running colleagues who are the victim of at least one show stopping issue a month.

So you must be running Windows I take it. Retarded compared to using real operating system? My employer makes a fortune sending windows engineers to fix never ending enterprise windows issues at clients, while I do all the Linux/Unix/VMS and have a rather relaxed life compared to them. Mostly I design and set up and migrate to systems, document and train how to maintain/patch/admin; and never see the clients again until they want to build something new.
Yes, I work for a hardware VAR, they love the bloated j2ee/java because it sells hardware, at least twice as much as alternatives would need. Java language structure conceptually is just a C++ spinoff, the JVM has some virtues if you run better languages on it
bounty was not to be paid, since no single tip given. But that era of the bounty is over anyway, once U.S. government knew where he was and acted on it. That's as silly as if Osama had been put in gitmo and this treasure hunter walked up to the fence and said "he he is! where's my money??" What a moron.
C++ is equally garbage. Having to have dealt with it for 25 years, it pains me to see it still lingering like a rancid fart in an empty church auditorium. Let's move on.

you are making shit up hoping it is true. Gabriel Farenheit took the coldest temperature he could make with icewater and salt and called that 0. He took the termperature of the human body and called that 100. He divided his lip blow hand shaped tube into 100 increments. If you happen to know about melting ice with salt, and the temperature of the human body, you can already see his crude "hermoscope" was hardly accurate
Picking a particular averaging method is not science, there an infinite number of them. We can take the global average temperature of each year, it is just as valid as your cherry-picked method. The earth hasn't been warming the past decade, only if you poison the numbers with the rise of the 1990s as your cherry picked method does do we get to make a silly claim that the earth is continuing to warm.
not just clouds which are condensed water, but the water vapor (humidity, we might say) makes up the over thirteen trillion tons of water in the atmosphere. It is a surprise to many of the armchair apers of the CRU propaganda organ, but of course water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas on this planet, and modeling it is quite difficult http://airs.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/quintessential_ghg/
You might have a great point, the concrete is SUPPOSED to be thicker, but what if they didn't quite build the GE containment system fully to lower costs, or what if substandard concrete to lower costs.
Also, my books are many decades old (as I am), maybe thinking has changed in the last 25 years since I went to university.
it makes much sense, since we are talking about such a very short time period of less than 100 years of accurate measurement, to say that because of the last ten years there is no "warming trend". In fact, in that short, less than 100 year time period, we had a few decades of a cooling trend. You are the one who is saying since the area B in the 1990s is higher than A in the early 1900s we have a "warming trend". that is utter rubbish.
Hard facts rule over your assertions. Water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas on planet earth, look it up. There are 3 * 10^12 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there are 1.3 * 10^13 tons of water in the atmosphere, look it up. Now consider the 100x factor of potency that water has over CO2. Oh my....

even though down for the last quarter, Oracle's sparc server sales were over 70% of the RISC Unix server market for 2011 thus far. not dead yet.
