Power of the purse belongs to the Congress. If the Congress wants to cut off spending after a certain date, they can do so. If they want to end a war or start a war, they alone can do so. RTFC(read the fine constitution)
No, they do not. They care only about freedom from state coercion, not from economic coercion. (It's the difference between positive and negative freedom)
Try war crimes on for size. When US Marines invaded Fallujia, they attacked a hospital in direct contravention of the Geneva Conventions. During the occupation prisoners have been denied trials, tortured, and subject to arbitrary arrest. Guantanamo bay violates so many laws I can't even begin to list them. Geneva Conventions, Universal Deceleration of Human Rights, Deceleration of the Rights of Man, Uniform Military Code of Justice...
Have you even seen a daily newspaper in the past year? This isn't about partisan politics. This is about lying to get us into a war. If our leaders are being manipulated, democracy fails. Just because the Democrats are impeaching a Republican doesn't mean they are wrong.
Incorrect. We are not bound by the conventions when dealing with al-Quaeda, but we do have to deal with civilians under the conventions. Furthermore, the 'present convention' refers to the third convention, not the Geneva Conventions. The conventions also apply to occupations with no conditions, as stated in the paragraph above the one you quoted.
If the factories are still there the capacity still exists. What is lost is the will to put the unemployed people on the unemployed machines, and make products that far to many people in America don't have. This is a symptom of the disease of free-market madness.
Nothing is too far. Want to hand over the company to the workers? We can do that. Want to destroy it completely? Sure, that's possible. In case you hadn't noticed, the economy should serve the people, not the other way around.
Anything in their argument is fair game: Logic, the existence of sets of photons, and the absence of faster then light communication. I hope for the last one.
That's not computer science. That's systems administration. And not everything is a file in Unix. Everything is a file in Plan 9. Although automatic validation will not fix the problem of misconfiguration. If you have been 0wnd, you should see what you forgot to patch, and what configuration mistakes you made.
There was a 2004 attempted coup in Venezuela. As for democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq, forget it. Bush is ramming through a bill that will prevent nationalization of the oil fields in Iraq. Every other Arab nation has nationalized theirs. He's also propping up the House of Saud, the President of Pakistan, the nasty guy in Uzbekistan(who boils people alive), and a lot of others.
They cheated. Instead of having a real priority queue Linux places each process into one of a bunch of smaller queues each one with a different priority. Then scheduling requires looking a the processes that are at the head of the fixed number of small queues.
No. You are wrong. It looks O(n) unless you notice that the processes back on the queue ran more recently then the ones at the front. Therefore they have lower priority then the ones at the front, so we only need to worry about the processes at the front of the queues. To evaluate these priorities we just store the last time they ran, and then subtract from the current time, then add that to the inherent priority.
If countries that harbor terrorists, invadedemocraciesfor pickingleaders whose policies they oppose, and support vicious dictators(too many to list) deserve invasion to restore democracy, then America is at the top of the list. Considering that 60% percent of the people who voted for Bush considered that "moral values" meant social justice or reducing greed (Chomsky, Noam Failed States) I seriously do not see anything wrong with such an action, other then the fact that Americans should be doing it themselves.
Actually the Linux scheduler is O(1). Processes are placed on O(1) queues, and the oldest processes on each queue are compared to each other. The number of queues is fixed, so Linux only has 5 nice levels. This is a scheduler because newer processes on a queue do not deserve the time more then the processes ahead of them.
I would love to know how the algorithm actually works. Is this just a new data structure for organizing the processes, or is there other stuff involved?

The Democrats are a far-right party by the standards of the rest of the world.

Painting and sculpture aren't. But the wide proliferation of scale models and prints of artworks haven't decreased their value.

Depends on the compiler. This sounds like MLRISC should have no problem targeting it.

Can we go one more?
Without him American forces would be having an easy time of it in Iraq, and we would prepare to invade Canada. But of course the United States has never invaded a nation to install a pro-American dictator because they don't like the democratically elected government's policies.
It depends if God uses Haskell or Lisp. (Yes, I know Lisp can be lazy)

I knew a kid who quacked. He was also really good at arithmetic, so that might explain it.

Didn't the Xbox use DirectX? Doesn't the Xbox 360 also use Direct X?
Exokernels hand over a lot of the scheduling to the processes themselves.

It's called multitasking. Yes, Cuba is bad, and Saudi Arabia worse, but that doesn't mean we can't work to close Guantanamo at the same time.
