So Libor Vanek mentions WWI. Then you call him totally incorrect, and cite a passage stating that 1939 had no influence on the book.
The first sentence in that passage is enough to show Libor Vanek is mistaken. The Shire isn't meant to represent anything, the war of the Ring isn't meant to represent anything. Not in WWI nor WWII.
I just downloaded the binary release of 4.3.0 ad installed that. Of course, this is pain because every package that depends on xfree86-common, xlibs, and xbase-clients complains about unmet dependencies. To get around this you can create your own dummy versions of these packages using equivs which takes about 5 minutes.
But your probably better off finding some real debs.
There have been many projects based on the GPLed code of Quake 1, like Quake Tenebrae which adds graphical capabilities that surpass Quake 3 and are nearly on par with Doom 3.
It adds very nice lighting and texturing, but nothing more. The gameplay and modelling is still old and clunky.
Case and point would be the linux kernel, which has dozens of options which for years have had no help, no corresponding HOWTO, and names that remind you of PlotHoleFillTech from Star Trek.
Are a lot of these postings for positions they've already filled? I know that lots of companies have to advertise jobs they've already filled for some god-forgotten reason, so they probablu have fun with them whilst trying to ensure they don't have to actually interview anyone.
There is just one thing... I wonder how they're going to get the palantir out of Isengard? (spoiler) That plays a major role in drawing Sauron out too early. Maybe they just skip the palantir and IM him instead.
And what about the Hobbits meeeting up with Aragorn et al? Where's that meant to take place?
I would still like to see the scene where Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff and Wormtongue throw's the Palantir at them - that was still book 5. Don't tell me there's no Palantir!
Every American will have a stake in the company. Then the energy will be sold to the rest of the world that, as we all know, has been hording vast amounts of cash and generally living it up whilst poor Americans starve.
I think the difference between 'necessary' and 'sufficient' should be taught repeatedly to people at school. So much time wasted by people who are confused about the difference, and by people who are confused about whether other people are confused about the difference.
The main problem is that any reflecting surface can act as a mirror, meaning that you are constantly at risk of the laser beam bouncing back and obliterating you.
I am guessing that "lasers of mass destruction" would operate in the ultraviolet. There aren't many materials that will reflect ultraviolet light back at you. At best it might glance off a mirror if it hits at a shallow enough angle.
A large part of the problem is that most of America's adversaries purposefully mix their military forces in with civilians to prevent us from firing upon them.
The last human shields I heard of were volunteer British and American citizens who travelled to Iraq to prevent 'you' from firing upon 'them'.
Aparrantly some Chinese naval captain called Shen Zhongchang commented "The mastery of outer space will be a requisite for military victory, with outer space becoming the new commanding heights for combat."
What military victory does he have in mind exactly? I wish more corporations were interested in outer space. At least they're only after money.
I'm willing to bet that the average metal worker with experience could do the same - it not more.
You know nothing about the guys work, or the work of the short story writer you belittled in another post. I'm willing to bet that you're simply envious.
Sure lets get rid of our government and you can also say good-bye to most if not all of our means of transportation, communication, research, social services, the list goes on and on and on.
Much of this is privatized anyway. Since we wouldn't be paying riduculous amounts of tax we'd all have extra money to pay for these things directly. And we'd probably get better value for our cash.
. I'll admit I haven't seen the movie but if he's asserting that governments only exist because of terrorism then he's an idiot. No, he's not. He was commenting on the culture of fear that is propagated by the US media and government. Chronologically it goes something like Afro-Americans, communists, drugs, terrorism... be afraid! Hell, the country was settled by people with religious persucution complexes.
Witness the Middle East... everyone is so angry and full of hate for Israel and the US they are blind to what their own governments do to them! You admitted you hadn't seen Bowling for Columbine , am I right in guessing that you've never been to the Middle East either? People in the Middle east are people exactly like you or me, they are not all angry and full of hate and they are not blind to their own governments. They undoubtable have a much better idea about what is going on in their own region than you do. Just as you shouldn't rely on some random Slashdot poster to tell you about a movie, you shouldn't rely on your local media to tell you about the Middle East. Incidently the US also breeds terrorists - people who bomb abortion clinics, Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber. Are you going to say that people in the US are all full of hate?

For example?
given a finite amount of time the human brain can figure out how to solve any problem.

I give you 1000 years to solve the Riemann hypothesis. Of course only about 70 of those years will be of any use to you

I might just have to try one of these newfangled "desktop" thingies.
Thus, similar encryption schemes to those in use today will still be feasible, albeit with much longer keys.
In fact, the keys would have be so big that it would take too long to encrypt anything with them and the current crypto schemes will all be useless.
in 1985 I was a Jet Propulsion laboratory.
Really? I was an oil rig in the early 80s, but after a couple of decades on medication I just seem to be some guy nowadays.

Hey ... that vitrite thing rocks!

I subscribe to the principal of the excluded middle.
So that they'll do as you say, rather than (not) doing as you (don't) do? If you won't eat your own dogfood, why expect anyone else to?
That doesn't even make sense.
More likely is that he prepared the lecture in 20 minutes. Why waste time typesetting a lecture for pimply undergrads?

A prism bends light, but that doesn't make it an optical lens.
Not that it really matters, but I just wouldn't describe Eddington's experiment during an ellipse as gravitational lensing.
In fact it is so weak that it would never be able to cause photons from a distance object to converge. Therefore it will never act as a lens.
