Indeed. I was just pointing out a common misconception. The size of 2.6 kernels is growing, and it has been growing fast for a while. I'm working on various embedded devices, and trying to squeeze a 2.6-kernel into limited space. I assure you, this is not an easy task.;-)
'Google's proposed acquisition of DoubleClick will give one company access to more information about the Internet activities of consumers than any other company in the world,'
This has gotta be one of the silliest statements I've read in a while. What the heck? It will give one company access to more information than others! Oh, bugger. I wasn't aware that all companies should have the same amount of information. Seriously though... Why is that so bad?

Do you have any evidence that the speed limits are artificially low, or are you pulling stuff out of your ass?
in fact, almost all christian organization do god a severe injustice, but if one is interested in learning how god's "program" works, one has the source code to available to them.
Where? I haven't been able to find Gods sourcecode anywhere. That would make the whole reverse-engineering we're trying to do a hell of a lot easier. We've figured out a few bits and pieces here and there, but we still don't have the whole picture, or nearly half what we need to make a working copy.
Audio-CD's with copy-protection cannot have the Compact Disc label. To have that label, they must conform to RedBook (Not sure about the color... some kind of color-book)
Are all Norwegians this polite, gentle, and peace-loving? In any event, reality must have an anti-Norwegian bias, because Norway has sent its soldiers to Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan, and it sent them armed with AG3's (along with even bigger guns). In the latter two nations they are even operating under the aegis of NATO, rather than the UN. Fortunately the Norwegian government has ensured they are properly armed, but (sadly) this hasn't stopped them from killing civilian demonstrators or getting killed themselves.
No, most are a bit more polite. But we're still a peaceful nation. Now, note that while they are equipped with AG-3, they are not attacking. The civilian demonstrators were attacking, and they defended themselves. There was a lot of hubbub around this, as sending norwegian soldiers abroad is very unpopular amongst the general norwegian populace, especially if it leads to someone dying, norwegian or otherwise. And to the "operating under the aegis of NATO"... why do you think Norway did that? Might it have been external pressure from one of the most powerful (and abusive) nations of the world? The norwegian people got into a knot when it was announced that we were sending soldiers (and even moreso when we were going to send F16's).
If what you state is true the Norwegian special forces would not use the MP5. The MP5 fires a 9mm or similar round which causes more trauma then the steel jacketed 7.62mm or 5.56mm rounds.
Bull. You can easily rip a persons foot off with a single 7.62mm shot. There's no way you can do that with a 9mm round fired from an mp5.
Quit being a fool and read the whole thread. This isn't about Norways policy. It's about following the rules of engagement, which the U.S. of Assholes is incredibly good at doing. You're not allowed to use napalm either.
Strategically, just hurting a soldier is much better than killing one, since that ties up enormous amounts of resources.
I'd prefer to get a huge-caliber shot to the forehead myself, but hey, it's war. There are still rules of engagement though. Including attacking with large-caliber ammo and napalm.
That doesn't make the slightest lick of sense. The infantry units use the AG3 because it's an assault rifle. It's long, it's heavy, it has a long range and a lot of penetrating power. Special Forces around the world use the MP5 because it's a submachine gun. It's light, it's easy to handle, and it's accurate at short ranges. Infantry usually fight in the open, often from positions. SF's usually fight in tight, enclosed spaces, often while moving. That is what defines the choice of weapon. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether the soldiers will fight in-country or out-of-country. No one in their right mind would select weapons in order to handicap certain groups of soliders - i.e. get them killed easier.
I'll assume you're a fucking moron, because you are. If Norway sent its infantry abroad, it would not equip them with AG3s. Norways infantry isn't going abroad though, because Norway isn't led by war-mongering loonies. Our infantry is defense-only, and only a select few (that sign up for it) are sent to protect norwegian interests abroad. The point here isn't in what kind of terrain they're fighting. It's whether they are attacking or defending. The choice of weapon is limited when attacking, but not when defending. Using a.50 machinegun to kill invading loonies is perfectly acceptable. Attacking another country's personell with it isn't.
The keyword here is "defend". The Norwegian armys standard issue is Heckler & Koch G3 (Slightly modified, renamed to AG3, and produced on licence in Norway). It uses 7.62mm rounds. Norwegian "Special Forces" are equipped with H&K MP5s. The reasoning behind this is that we are allowed to *defend* our country with AG3, but we cannot use the same weapon in an *attack*, thus we have to equip our "attack forces" with MP5s. The same applies to.50 cal (12.7mm), no matter how much the U.S. tries to twist its way out of restrictions that apply to everyone.
A very good idea IMHO would be something like Pandora (http://pandora.com/), which classifies music using a wide range of parameters, and uses those to suggest other songs you might like. I've found hundreds of songs I would otherwise (likely) wouldn't have found at all.

Agreed. It's much more fun when there's just a bunch of regular stories and one subtle april fools story. This isn't funny, reading slashdot today is useless instead of interesting.
