not that hard replacing the simcard in a mobile phone
Sigh. One of the many advantages of having a unified cell infrastructure, unlike the USA. Each provider has their own network, which means you need to buy a new phone if you switch. Heck, we still can't even port our number with us.
What happened to the possibility that Bush is right?
Well, I guess it's lucky for me that I never had to consider that (except for an hour or so during Powell's ultimately dissatisfying speech to the UN). Let's check the scorecard:
Yes, there were some in Congress who supported the authority of "the Presidency" to use military force, but few who explicitly said Clinton was doing the right thing.
His biography: Law and Laughter, by Bob Burke and David L. Russell. Dunno the ISBN. It's not found on Amazon or Froogle.
Note that there are multiple "Lee R West"s listed in Oklahoma, and it's quite possible that our pal the judge is unlisted. However, I do notice that there is exactly one result in the same area code (and nearby zip code) as the courthouse:
SpamCop is currently alive, but Julian had to blow a bunch of cash on upgraded servers after getting knocked down a couple months ago. Pretty much every site which offers any sort of blocklist has had several months of continuous DDoS.
I actually believe in human rights, unlike sick fucks like you who think that the Kurds were Saddam's "own people" to gas as he liked
Oh, you mean those Kurds that were being gassed back in 1983, when Saddam's best buddies (Reagan/Bush) sent Donald Rumsfeld to help him plan military strategy?
I wonder if there have been any project ideas that you've left by the roadside because you felt the result would hold something unfortunate up for admiration.
I recall a Gaiman interview circa 1990 where he said he had written a Sandman story about the dreams of an embryo/fetus, and at the end of the story the woman has an abortion. He dropped it because he didn't want it to be used as propaganda.
The details are probably available somewhere on Google.
Seems to be Slashdotters preferred strategy in foreign affairs...
One simple question for any Republican hawks in the audience: Would you have supported a stabilization mission to Afghanistan -- and/or an invasion of Iraq -- in the 1990s by President Clinton?
If you say no, you're a hypocrite. If you say yes, you're a fucking liar.
Working to prevent global warming is the smart thing to do. If they're wrong, the worst case is that the world stays the same. If we do nothing, the worst case is a 500+ foot rise in global sea levels.
Invading Iraq as part of the War on Terror(tm) was probably a bad move. If Bush is wrong, the worst case is that US reputation is trashed for years, and millions of new recruits sign up for AlQaeda. If we do nothing, the worst case was Saddam continues to dick over his own people for 20 years and dies of old age. IOW, the world stays the same.
The CPU Xbench is probably based on some set of standard arithmetic algorithms. G5-optimized math libraries might show big improvement for those cases.
The G5 is a sincerely new and strange chip with pipelines unlike its Motorola ancestors. Binaries designed for PPC/G3/G4 run inefficiently on the G5 compared to true native binaries.
Jupiter is so insanely freaking huge, contaminants from Galileo really wouldn't matter. If there's life in Jupiter it's floating in the storms and 100x more populous than all total life on Earth.
at least someone spent some time designing these appropriately
And then they send the whole system straight to hell by implementing it improperly. The pictures are processed not by Baltimore police but instead by private contractors, who are paid on commission basis, giving them huge incentive to ignore mitigating factors. Stop one inch over the line? Ticket for you!
Worst of all, Baltimore abuses the system as a profit center by systematically shortening the yellow light times at photo-monitored intersections. Think you can make it through? Ticket for you!

Re-read this thread. The whole premise is a "rogue nation" that already has nuclear capability wants to blow up a US city. If they can smuggle a couple fist-sized blocks of U235, the rest of the bomb can easily be built on-site.
Or you could build the whole bomb back home and send it over via personal boat, mexican fruit truck, magnet stuck to the bottom of a cruise liner, etc. Using a missile is a distant 10th place at best.
if you code XHTML, then all XHTML compliant browsers should render the same
The specifications leave certain decisions up to the browser (and the user), so it's never going to be pixel-for-pixel identical. However:
Mozilla1+/Netscape6+ (including Camino/Firebird/etc) should render pretty much identically on all platforms. Any differences are considered bugs and ought to be reported.
Safari should render equivalently to Konqueror, just with lickable widgets.
One would hope that Opera is comparable across platforms.
MSIE for Mac is no longer being developed and will be substantially ignorable within a year.
You've got to line up the atoms exactly, or almost nothing happens.
If you're making a plutonium compression bomb (like Fat Man or all modern US weapons), yes, the shape and detonation needs to be precise on the 10^-6 scale. However, a fully working uranium bomb (like Little Boy) could be assembled by a Jr High metal shop class, given the correct pieces of enriched U235.
people have had some results by CCing their complaints to every known Chinese ambassador
Partial agreement here. I prefer to limit governmental CCs to the sending & receiving nations. It doesn't make sense to involve Sweden in China-USA spam, for example. Here's a combined reformatted guaranteed opt-in list:
Lars Ulrich will star as a gritty New York detective and John Amos will play the chief RIAA lawyer. "Since most file sharing cases are civil and only consist of serving subpoenas, we had to take some liberties much like the RIAA," said creator Dick Wolf.
Just 'cause you're root doesn't mean you can push data... It all depends on how it's setup.
What part of "they make the whole widget" do you not understand? Diebold builds the hardware, writes the software, runs the net connection, and threatens legal action against anyone else who tries to tamper with the box. If they give themselves write access, they're the only ones who would know.
It's definitively mediocre, and very much like his other late books (most of which I have read, unfortunately). The heroes are beautiful people who say "floccinaucinauphilification" (and I sure hope I didn't spell that correctly from memory), take a vacation, expound at length on the virtues of nudism, have some boring sex, oh and come up with some brilliant plan that beats the bad guys.

Kosovo? Oh yes, I seem to remember something about international support from both the UN and NATO. Unlike a certain other President we have now.
Well, I guess it's lucky for me that I never had to consider that (except for an hour or so during Powell's ultimately dissatisfying speech to the UN). Let's check the scorecard:
- Nukes? No
- Poisons? None since the 1980s
- Germs? No (*)
- Al Qaeda? No
- links to 9/11? No
- cakewalk? No
- renewed prosperity? No
- democracy in Iraq? Not even close
- democracy domino effect? Not a chance
(*) Remember those mobile weapons labs that Bush was crowing about in June? It turns out he was pretty close: they were mobile weather-balloon labs!Which republicans are those? The ones like Phyllis Schlafly who said that he attacked just to distract America from Monica Lewinsky? Or the ones like George W Bush who thoroughly disparaged nation building?
Yes, there were some in Congress who supported the authority of "the Presidency" to use military force, but few who explicitly said Clinton was doing the right thing.Yes, they certainly are. Damn that evil Libertarian cabal trying to enslave the country!
