The presence of US troops does not constitute an "occupation," whereas the democratic election of a government is reasonable justification for declaring Iraq a "sovereign nation."
While each scribe, called a "sofer" (long o) has unique calligraphic penmanship, the form of the letters are highly detailed and specific to the calligraphy of writing a Torah. To go from one Torah to the next you would see no difference in the way each letter is formed.
What I would like to see is the Justice Department figure out what you've just articulated and take another shot at Microsoft.
When car manufacturers put out a vehicle in which a flaw is discovered, they have to issue a recall. At most only a handful of cars and their owners are actually damaged due to a recalled car's flaw.
When drug companies discover a potential adverse side effect in a medication, they have to recall the drug. At most, only a handful of people are actually physically injured by the medication.
When Microsoft produces an operating system whose security flaws expose MILLIONS of people to data and service theft, cause BILLIONS of dollars in lost business overtime wages, upgrades, and has spawned a multi-BILLION dollar AV industry as a direct result of their slack attitude towards security, how is it they can get away with saying, "sure, we'll fix the problem for another $49.99. Per year."
They should be BANNED from the AV industry the way Arthur Andersen was BANNED from SEC auditing.
I would put them in front of a computer just to teach them how to type. It's not something they're teaching at school, and unless you want ur kidz typing l33tsp33k 4 everything, let them at least become familiar with a keyboard.
My three have been on the computer as early as they could, and I'm starting with the oldest to use correct finger placement.
Of course, anyone looking to plot a terrorist attack is simply going to talk over unencrypted communications channels using plain words like "bomb," "sarin," and "subway." They wouldn't think of using pre-arranged keywords, metaphors and euphamisms.
He'll have to beat Hillary Clinton in the primary, and likely have to go up against Guiliani for the presidency in 2008.
Here's an interesting thing.. Kerry's still the junior senator from Massachusetts. He didn't give up his job to pursue the presidency. He hedged his bet! Even he didn't think he'd really win.
That actually happened in my neighborhood last year, for the school board elections, and it was the son of the incumbent who was caught. By the challenger.
... of a child who has a "neopet," it's like anything else on the Internet that's aimed at kids: you, the responsible parent, have to know what your child visits on the Internet, make rules, set boundaries and impose limitations.
Any game of "chance" is gambling. The difference is the stakes. In Monopoly, it's fake money. Neopets is a point system. In Vegas, it's cash. With Microsoft, it's your data. At least with neopets, they're not telling the kids to take the "little green pieces of paper" out of mommy's purse. It's more like those damn tamaguchis...
we certainly can't expect them to keep track of a small USB token...or house keys, retainer, Gameboy, cell phone, homework sheet, bedtime stuffed animal, hairbrush, sneakers, TV remote, wireless mouse......and that was just this morning!
IANAA (accountant), but that's only the first year's savings. You have to amortize it over the expected lifetime of the monitor. Six years is not an unrealistic expectation for a monitor lifespan, and it'll be less than that as energy prices rise.
It really comes down to out-of-pocket expense. I don't have the $800, no matter how much I can save on energy.
Not to mention the fact that all of the VC money went to launch parties, free lunches, advertising, promos, and other intangibles (except Herman Miller Aerons, of course).
At the end of the day there was nothing to show for all the money that was spent (read: immolated), and that's when the bubble burst.
The next great thing?

Ballmer on Linux
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Ballmer singled out XML and Web services as the "big breakthrough" of the next decade that will spur innovation.
Puh-lease. I was at the introduction of XML and CDF back in 1996/7 by Microsoft. They also handed out 4.0 beta disks of IE 4.0 at the event. I think it was called World Wide Live.
MSFT's gone nowhere fast with XML, while the rest of the developer world embbraced and extended it. They (MSFT) finally decided on a strategy for it what, three years ago? And now it's going to be the next big thing of the coming decade?
No wonder Linux runs circles around the Redmond Behemoth...
Think about it.. how much lower is his bottom line because his R&D costs are that much less?
He's not just following Apple, BTW. Dell's got the Jukebox, Rio was the first portable MP3 player out there IIRC, there are a handful of USB key/MP3 players out there as well. MSFT is just capitalizing on the settling player market, getting in when the cost to develop the technology is the lowest. They'll pick and choose the featureset of the lowest common denominator, undercut all the other devices on the market, then when everybody's migrated to the Microsoft WinTunes (I disagree with an earlier poster's guess at the name), they'll release the Media Player so it can *only* connect with the WinTunes player, and use the profits to fight off another round of anti-trust lawsuits.
Or something like that.

Red, green and blue make up the additive color, or light wheel. When you have all frequencies of light, the light comes out white, when you have no light, it is black. These are the primary colors of light, which is what you learn in physics class.
What you're describing is subtractive color, or pigmentation. When you have no pigments, the canvas is white, when you mix all the colors together, you have black. These are the more familiar primary colors that you learn about in art class.
Not only did they come AND leave in that thing, but the landing program was written in FORTRAN, and the computer crashed something like three times during descent.....all before Windows!
