The US always has paid for its own messes... and eventually, for everyone else's.
Tell that to the families of the British, Australian, Italian, (insert non-US country of choice)... troops killed in Iraq, in wars started by the US over a situation created by decades of poor US foreign policy.
Ignorant and arrogant attitudes like yours are fast becoming the stereotype of America overseas. And people wonder why Americans are hated...
The UN has presented no compelling arguments as to why it should be turned over to an overly beaurocratic entity that has a poor track record for making joint ventures work.
... because naturally, US companies are making it work without a hitch...
That has indeed been a problem in the past (and no doubt will be again for malicious worms). Surely a properly-written "good worm" would have to avoid choking networks - perhaps by having some central store of vulnerable and/or patched systems? Or using only idle/available bandwidth (BITS in Windows maybe)? etc... who knows, I don't write them...
Whether you pull or push the security patch, the transfer bandwidth would be roughly the same. The problems come in with the "polling/spreading" attempts... eg. if you set every Windows PC in the world to poll Windows Update at the same rate that worms try to find vulnerable hosts, you'd make the Slashdot effect look like a single ping packet...
Good point - a real engineer would squeeze more efficiency out of the system.
I'm thinking along the lines of a turbocharger: a whole herd of hamsters in the boot. When you need a little extra power, get them to run on an array of little hamster-wheels. When they eventually snuff it, stuff them in the tank with the cats... use the organic matter twice!
I thought exactly the same thing (obligatory reference. Looks very similar, maybe the next generation Walrus will frop the fan-blade propulsion in favour of have "Booster and take-off rockets, turbo jets, ramjet turbines"...
Question: does "Thunderbird 2" qualify as "prior art" with regards to patenting the Walrus?
True, it doesn't... but it does appear to have a handy solution if you do get sucked into buying one of these keyboards: just paint the letters back on with this stuff and type with your UV cathode lamp on. Turn it off in the presence of people to maintain your over-inflated uber-nerd reputation!
Hmmm... Although Walt looks like the type of guy who would drive around in a convertible, I must confess to having serious doubts over his ability to do "a couple of hours of pounding treadmill exercise". Unless the pounding was him dropping the Nano onto the moving treadmill, while standing off to the side.
Not to mention that he bothered to test a device built on solid-state memory for skipping due to impact...
Fe2O3 + Al2 ---> Fe2 + Al2O3 (Thermite - highly exothermic). Don't tell me we've finally found someone who hasn't read the anarchist's cookbook (or sat through high school chemistry)?
Slashdot Mirror
Are you sure it wasn't the "Hello, Sailor" type of naval gazing?
Can a blind person drive a car?
Yes. Next question...
Apparently they sniped Google at the last minute...
I didn't know they'd expanded coverage to Bangalore...
If you're working in a zoo you don't want to be the one who has to brush the teeth of the lion.
True, but you don't want to be the one who has to wank off the orang-utan either.
Come to think about it, in light of MySQL's recent partnership with SCO this may not be a bad analogy after all...
Note to self: use the preview button, dammit!
Moztorrent
Looks like it's already happening...
Likewise the "Mitsubishi Pajero"...
If you had a modicum of clue, you would realize that cogent is basically screwing it's own customers in a publicity stunt.
Speak for yourself. That is the exact point I was making - this is an example of US companies being unable to make a joint venture work.
What the WSIS wants to do is control DNS operations at this point
That is one of about a few hundred different things the WSIS wants. Do some research, look at the bigger picture and think before you post.

As opposed to... Yosemite Sam?

It's broke, and needs fixing.

Just make sure you don't leave that pizza hanging around...
Cleaner code than the rest!
I wouldn't be so sure. I'd like to see some benchmarks against Linux...

I agree. It don't look like it worked for too good for his grammar skills, do it?
How long until someone mods it so you can run one over in your Super Mario Kart?

You bet! Cerf's up, dude...
And I'm sure nobody's cracked that joke before...

Come on people, basic reading skills! Stop reading without thinking.
You must be new here...

No.
