You go fuck yourself. I said nothing of faking it. What these people go through is real and its good to know that they give us more time to heal/relax/be with family when getting back from war, before they send us back out. And I say us because I put on a camo uniform everyday.
The minimum lenght of service in the US military is 0 years. (Your not forced to join) However if you do join you can sign up for 4 or 6 years.
Not all people who sign up now go to combat. If you want to blame or bitch at some one because you don't agree with the war bitch and blame your elected gov officials. Write them and tell them what you think. Go out and vote for some one that shares your views or run yourself. The point is bitching on/. is poitless. If you want things to change go out and change them.
How can you say "signing up in these circumstances is an abdication of your moral responsibilities as a human being"? If no one signs up then our countries military falls apart leaving us defensless. (And countries would attack) Then the combat would be at your front door. And when that happens do you pick up a gun and fight back or do you cower beneath your bed and cry waiting for death.
And then you say "Even choosing obedience over jail can be questioned. It's not a good choice to face, but it's still a choice.", but I ask what you would do in that situation. Would you hold up to your morals and defy your orders even as the jail cell closes behind you; or would you do your duty and obey the orders of those appoited over you? You may say that you will stand by your morals but you'll never really know unless you where put in that situation.
You sorry son of a bitch. Those "fuckers" as you call them don't decide if they go or not. It the government that tells them. The only choice they have is go where they tell them or go to jail. When people are dieing your upset that you lost some money and people you never met may not like you. Your an arogant bastard that should be beaten in the middle of the street.
This is great. If they ever send me over there as soon as I get back I going to request this treatment. Play video games instead of going to work... Doesn't get any better than that.
Maybe these new "cars of the future" will be able to play with them selves too. And if they can't they better learn since 90% of toy tech gets tossed/broken within a year. Hell a Hotwheeles 10 years ago is just as cool as one now.. probably cooler.
This app would have been much cooler if it would have only postponed event for a day. But the app would run all the time constintly pushing back all events one day. The should effectivly keep your schedule clear forever. An added bonus would be if it automaiclly e-mail all parties involved in an event telling them every time the even has been postponed.
55 Million years ago the artic was a tropical paridise. I'm not saying that man isn't contributing to global warming but I am saying that before man this sort of thing has happend.

A politacal party that fights for all the things mentioned on the pirate parties website is great. I'm all for a politcal body finnaly standing up and fighting angainst corporations that take away from what makes this country great. However a party devoted just to those things will never stand. While the geeks of america may band together for this party it just isn't enough. A political party must be ready to face all the challanges of a society not just a select few. The Pirate party would have to take a stand on things like war, poverty, crime, drugs and so many others. And thats not to mention a party needs support from a majority of people with all sorts of backgrounds and cultures. Just something to think about.
Before you read any of the article and just say the headline: "Physicists Watch Individual Electrons Flow" did anyone think of a bunch of guys in white lab coats looking down at a table with money in their fists betting on electron races? Because I did... And boy was it disturbing... Gambling physicists can be very rude. (At least the ones in my head are)
"If it's on the Internet and it's been commended to us, we wouldn't do a full-scale investigation," Marshal's Service spokesman David Turner said. "We don't knowingly go into any source that would be illegal. We were not aware, I'm fairly certain, what technique was used by these subscriber services."
Since when did "I didn't know it was illegal" become an acceptable response?
It seems many of these specs are for the areo feature. Am I the only one that thinks the whole aero craze is over the top. Is it really that important to be able to see through some of your windows and have them displayed in "3d"? Most likely when I load Vista I look at that feature, say ohh thats neet, then turn them all off mostly because its just a waste of reasorces. Any one else feel the same way?
If a mere 10 inch meteor can create a 4 ton explosion then I don't think it would ever be a good idea to try to put a colony on the moon. If this kind of thing happens often, and the say it does, there would have to be a whole lot of protection for any structure we put on the moon. Or develope shields...
All I'm saying is that to me it seems limited. I would think that displaying this "information" in 3d on a 2d screen would be better simply because it has the ability to be dynamic in its movement. No I suppose in some areas it would be interesting to have such a contraption it seems that needing 4 projectors and a sphere hanging by wires is a bit much for what your getting out of it. But if you all seem to disagree, so be it. Maybe I'm wronge...
Is this suppost to be some sort of major breakthrough? It seems that because it realise on physical spheres that any presentation would be rather static. Sure you could show thing moving on the sphere but the hole idea seems so limited. You can't zoom in on anything, the sphere itself doesn't move, and nothing can be between the sphere and the projectors. In other words; what a waste.
I agree.. It's one thing to say "The survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe," buts its another to give a viable solution as to how. Basically all he stated was the obvious. Mr. Hawking is a very inteligent person so I'd except him to, after his speech, say "and this is how" followed by charts and graphs and mathmatics far beyond my understanding. But I guess thats just wishfull thinking. As it stads now I don't think the human race will be able to get off this rock untill the planet is united as one and can move ahead as one.
In all reality the long password idea is great. However once you have a 16 digit password it no longer really matters if you mix it with numbers and special charaters. This is from an article on password myths:
"Now consider this password: SeandialVickyandhorusbloomkendallWyoming. It is not complex by any measure. It contains only two character types and all of the components are words. They are, in fact, words picked from the Microsoft password strength checker's dictionary, which includes 2,254 words. There are 40 characters in this password. The character set those characters are chosen from consist of uppercase and lowercase English characters, or 52 characters in total. That means there are a total of 4.45×1068 1 to 40-character passwords possible from that character set. If you use a brute force attack and you can guess 600 passwords per second, it will take you 1.63×1058 years to guess this password. But you may have captured a connection to a server and have the challenge-response sequence to crack it. In this case it will take you only 1.30×1054 years, assuming you are a nation-state and have access to nearly unlimited computing power."
Also having to change the password every month is a terrible idea as others have described and is completley uneeded. With proper audit tools administrators should be able to tell if a user is logging in at odd times or in odd ways. If this is seen then someone most likely has this persons account information; however if this is not the case then making this person change their password every month only makes him change a secure password.

When I first found out that Kmart was buying Sears I hoped they would rename all there stors Smart. "Shop smart shot S mart"

the "ultra-portable" is refering to the Q1 which is very small (compared to the laptop).
