But to that point do we consider the outcome of WW2 to be that the "good guys" won? In today's age the "good guys" would have been made to be the bad guys. Shit happens in war, if a war is "just" like the one in Afghanistan (not so much Iraq) then why should we make the private that threw a grenade into a room that had people shooting at him and killed 5 people; 3 of whom were woman/children the bad guy?
I'm sorry but war is hell shit happens, until we live in an Utopian society that is a fact of life.
A lot of the moderators are too young to recall anything prior to 2000. They might not have noticed the "invasion in early 90s" because they didn't even recall that a war had happened, and just assumed "Iraq invasion" referred to Bsuh, Cheney, and so on.
Seeing as we didn't "invade" Iraq in the early 90's and the current war is much bigger it is understandable were people would be confused. Not to mention the fact that the Euro wasn't even around in 1990 so i don't know why we would go to war because Iraq was going to start selling oil in a currency that was still 2+ years from being used anywhere.
In Gulf Storm we did enter Iraq but did not invade it in a traditional sense. We even had truly legitimate reasons for going into Kuwait and removing the Iraqi forces.
or somebody happens to break into your account and they disable it
Happens to break into your account? How does that happen?
I'd like to know your opinion on online banking.
I've had my account hacked after playing CS:S for the first time in 5 years. They have some way to get your account info if you connect to certain servers. Trust me i didn't give my account info away or even have a weak re-used password. I got an email confirming that my password was changed then that my email was changed. I email Valve within 20 minutes of the last email and got no response for almost 2 weeks.
So its very possible for your account to get hacked and them to take a long time to fix it in which case if the account hijacker hacks on a VAC server your account will be banned and even if they see it was hijacked during that time will not unban you.
Don't get me wrong I still use Steam and that was the only bad experience I've had with them.
The parties have totally flipped since the beginning of the 20th century... You cant say that the Republicans are the party of Lincoln now or the Democrats are the party of the South.
Oh come on... It's better than any other war in history that was fought with weapons that go BOOM from far distances. There will always be collateral damage in wars, there is no perfect solution or answer. We have increased the amount of money to kill one enemy immensely so that we can minimize CD and that should be see as a huge step forward.
For those against the war in Afghanistan I always love to hear what other options we had or have.
This was already solved by the Storm 2, it has a capacitive touchscreen with software that mimics tactile resistance. This means you have to actually "Click" on the screen to "left click." This solves the hover problem on the storms unfortunately the current browser sucks so it doesn't help much but it is doable. I actually prefer to type on it than my iPhone.
To give a seemingly unrelated example, the USA income tax was "temporary". It's temporary alright, in the sense that one day the sun will stop shining...
Amendments to the constitution are rarely temporary...
Yes because the knowing how to spell or hell even know where the Aleutian Islands are is an important factor in determining education quality.
It's up there with basic math and reading.
And that would explain why we have a constitutional amendment which provides for hunches. Wait, there is no such amendment you say, just some that prevent unreasonable search and seizure?
The main point is to be able to connect to your computer and stream to your TV. They offer both an IDE and SATA version that all you have to do is stick a hard drive in. The interface has been generally the same (not the best but very usable) but it is continually updated for new codecs/features and even has a built in torrent downloader.
I bought one last summer and cant live without it now. Streaming 1080p or 720p from my computer to my 46 LCD with great video/sound quality is awesome.
I don't know if its just the Marines but we just get a sledge hammer and take turns beating the shit out of the hard drives. Seems to do a good enough job to me.
I don't get what is so hard about setting up EMRS, I am in the Marines and I know we are much smaller than the population overall but the Navy has a Electronic Medical Records system up and working right now. It doesn't seem like it would be to difficult to expand the program to meet larger populations.
Sure I make sure I keep my physical records too but that's just because the Navy used to be so bad at keeping med records that you would get the same shot 7 times when you needed it only once.
the armed forces will continue to rape and pillage those who are unable to defend themselves
I would have modded you up except for this point. The Armed Forces of the US are like any group, you put a bunch (hundred of thousands) of 18 - 23 year olds in a area with extreme stress and extreme power mistakes happen but... rape and pillage I would say you have no idea what you are talking about and may want to learn/read instead of writing completely ignorant statements.
Also the military establishment before OIF was not pro-invasion, they did the best with the horrible leadership from the civilian leadership at the DOD and above. Had OIF planning been in control of the the military there likely would have actually been an occupation plan and no need for a surge because a higher amount of troops would have already been on deck.
No its basically him saying that he can say something like "I don't like homosexuality" and not being immediately jumped on as a bigot. Or the cartoon in the New York Post with the dead ape saying that it is racism and should not be allowed. First google "Bush, Monkey" and see how "racist" that is but because in this case the prez is black and democrat, the media will call racism and not support his free speech to write that cartoon.
We need to stop being so PC and learn that things will offend people but that will always happen, learn to ignore small ignorant things that in the grand scheme of things dont matter at all.

Yeah but does it run linux?

Hmmm, uhhhh, I think not.

They care about farmville,
Farmville is flash....
Would be great for the morning after getting hammered. I would always like to know some of the things I have done (or hit on) while blacked out...
The parties have totally flipped since the beginning of the 20th century... You cant say that the Republicans are the party of Lincoln now or the Democrats are the party of the South.
An intelligent, thoughtful reply on /.? Expect to get modded to hell. ;D
Luckily the occurrance of an intelligent, thoughtful reply on /. would seem to indicate that hell may have been frozen over.
Alright I knew it was the Cubs season to win it all!
Such as?
Whoosh
My only question is, the alleged hacking took place in 2004, how does it take until 2010 for it to be presented as news on Slashdot?
Sounds about right for Slashdot.

Or you can be a pouge who acts all hardcore, even though an 11B PFC has boots with more roadmarch miles than you.
Its POG (as in Person other-than grunt) not pouge... you obviously dont know what you talking about because grunts can barely read let alone follow /.
Also the only real grunts are Marines not soldiers (which the summary calls us) get a job boot.

Dude BSG was so last week
There is a lull in SciFi... sorry SyFy till the new Star Trek comes out. Continue in the mean time to use car analogies instead of robot ones.

Don't worry the upcoming World War will help speed this along for the rest of the world. I say 2019.
Atheros also has great drivers for Linux. They work great for packet sniffing and injecting. A Wifi hackers dream.
