Bin Laden has not been convicted for the 9/11 attacks. Has only been indicted for killing five Americans and two Indians in a 1995 truck bombing; he is officially still only a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush
In the meantime, the US continues it's assault on 'terrorism' and doesn't bother to count the innocent dead who get in the way.
Article 50 in Chapter II: "Civilians and Civilian Population" of Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions defines that a civilian is not a privileged combatant.
A privileged combatant is a person who takes a direct part in the hostilities of an armed conflict within the law of war and is someone who upon capture qualifies as a prisoner of war under the Third Geneva Convention (GCIII).
An unlawful combatant is a civilian, such as a mercenary, who take a direct part in the hostilities but who upon capture does not qualify for prisoner of war status.
According to international law Bin Laden is a civilian.
Do yourself a favor and try thinking critically, not just blindly accepting your government's public relations campaigns as truth.
>the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.
A civilian under international humanitarian law is a person who is not a member of his or her country's armed forces. If the enemy is not a member of his or her country's armed forces, then attacking them is the calculated use of violence against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature.
The only difference is your government has money to spend on public relations to convince you that they are the good guys.
You should not trust the propaganda and lies ov your government. Most advancements made by the USA in the last 50 years came from imported Nazi technology and scientists.
split screen is for lusers. I have 2 lcds, 2 keyboards, and 2 mice attached to my box. As such, I can have 2 people logged in at once, both running quake 3. It is nice using a console to usb controller adapter. Then each player can choose to use whatever controller they want. Try plugging 6 playstation controllers into your xbox and playing with 5 friends. Then you can talk about something you simply cannot do in the drool-proof console world.
>The new start bar with search is especially cool... you no longer have to go searching for your apps. Never seen anything like it in a Linux distro.
It is a MENU, not a FILE EXPLORER! Why would anyone want to wade through 5 levels ov crap to get to the one icon that does something? You have never seen anything like it in a Linux distro because linux culture is not clogged down with 3rd party vendors who try to make their star menus stand out as some kind ov marketing ploy.
Linux sticks the icon that launches the game in the "games" folder; click on menu, go to games folder, click on game icon to start game. Not in "Programs >> EA Games >> Battlefield 2 >> Play Battlefield 2". And I don't want the "read me" file on my start menu. At best I will read it once and delete it. At worst it will sit around cluttering up my menu unit I get pissed off at windows culture, switch operating systems, and never use microsoft windows again.
>It seems to me that there has been come change of nomenclature from "Personal Computer" to "Windows Computer" in recent years. Not too widespread, but still present nonetheless.
I noticed this too. Games are no longer labeled 'pc-cdrom' or 'pc-dvd' but 'windows cdrom' or 'windows dvd'. The entire games section at compusa was renamed from 'computer games' to 'games for windows'.
No doubt due to exclusive backroom deals by microsoft.
>Their new website is self-damaging. If I was a potential Microsoft customer who was looking at the comparison between Linux and Windows, I'd instantly note Microsoft spreading fud and lies to make up for deficiencies in their offer.

>My theory is, make sure you CEO stays in a very small windowless room with no direct contact to outside sources, that way, he can never have his likeness cropped into images of evil baddies. Everyone will love your company.
The CEO is a public figurehead. It is the Board ov Directors that makes all the decisions for a company - the CEO just does what he is told. The board stays in a very small windowless room with no direct contact to outside sources, and the CEO takes all the credit or blame for their actions. If something goes wrong, the board axes the CEO and renews public faith without having to change a thing about how the company is run.
