People take a hard major to be challenged and then get pissed off when they see how most of the other colleges at the school are a joke allowing nearly everyone to succeed (kind of like a drivers licence, nearly anyone can get one).
I am astonished by this. Is the bible not considered "the word of god". People complain about how non-Christians poorly interpret the bible all the time. If god is such a superior being then who are you to interpret it and say who it applies to.
Don't know about you, but I have forgotten to turn my phone off at social events (I bet you have too). I can see the person (bomber) getting this right the first few times until they get too comfortable with it and forget.
Considering signal reliability I can just imagine (when in transit) the bomber accidentally blowing themselves up when they don't realize that they have lost their signal.
A. You are correct that it seems obscure, but people make the same arguments everyday not knowing that is their origin, which is not a problem. Case of everyday use: Should i sell the drug knowing that it will help 90% of people, or should i not sell the drug knowing that 30% will die.
B. N/A
Desired vs. Actual: In the case of regime change, would the rest of the world prefer that a dictator or communist stays in power instead of someone acting? You will never find out if you never try, we don't see much trying going on over on the other side of the pond. That is a problem, the rest of the world wants have free control of the root servers when we:ie the US, started this network as ARPANET with US taxpayer money. We need to see some trying, lets see someone across the pond take down the great firewall of china.
An "independent nation" with some promotion of American ideas is better than a dictatorship or communist regime, don't you agree? If those across the pond took some action there would be promotion of everyone's ideas.
If those across the pond want to complain about how we reach the end result, they need to take some initiative and take action according what means they believe are necessary to reach the end result instead of sitting on their asses and complaining. Also, If those across the pond figure out a better method of regime change to take out communists and dictators, more power to them, this is getting a bit expensive for US.
I was making a reference to utilitarianism vs kant. The end result vs means argument is just one small argument between those two ideas. FYI: I was referencing points 2 and 5. There is a difference between the means to an end result, and the end result itself.(case: everyone wants to cure cancer, but what if you have to kill someone to gain that "end result" of curing cancer) You are putting words in my keyboard and twisting my argument. You know quite well that there is an end result that occurs within our lifetime. I never stated that there were not other effects down the line as well.
Going back to your Point 2: The aggression is the means, independent nation building would be the "end result"
Your Kantian viewpoint ignores the fact that the end result does matter. Don't get me wrong, the means is important, but it is not the only factor. (and in my opinion less important than the end result in many circumstances)
How wrong is that...
We, ie: the US, started the internet with ARPANET which the first backbones it started on. This is why it is said that the US built the internet. Since the US taxpayers funded the initial start of this great network i don't see any reason why we should hand over the root servers, we run it just fine as it is now. What the UN really needs to do is tear down the great firewall of china. If the UN accomplished that along with few other feats then MAYBE they would deserve some amount of control. But hey, we made the first "ball", and this is only just a powerplay.

Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Doing that will not encourage any manufacturers to stick with one type (DVD + or - all over again). We should go with the Blue ray stadard because it holds more meaning blue ray disks you buy in the future will become outdated after HD-dvd because they are larger (meaning updating the video colletion less). The only donwside to the new standards is that they are not using lossless audio.

Now tell me, those studies refer to the readbility of the english language, not a given computer language, right?

It was pretty obvious what was going on in the water. (that's probably why they went in the water)
Ever bother to learn much in school? Logical fallacy Post hoc ergo propter hoc: after this, therefore because of this

Sounds like the plot to a futuristic porno flic! Doesn't it!
Ahhhhhh, you beat me too it. (extinguish flame thrower)
Talk about being brought up with stereotypes, look at yourself.
:)
I would have to agree with you on that one.

Cost. Even newegg wouldn't sell those.
Don't you think there is a basic human right to information (news)??
An array could max that out.(and whatnot, multiplexed into one cable, ect)
Thats not such a great TCO
It didn't even take that long
