He (Saddam) did though. He used them, remember? There was never a question as to whether he *had* them at some time in the last 10 years. Just whether he *still* had them.
As a foreigner living in the US, I have always been amazed at the lack of repsect paid to speed limits on freeways.
Foreigners seem to forget that the United States is a *large* country. Some states (and even parts of states) tend to be much more strict than others. Particularly further west tends to be more strict I believe.
If you believe that, then I have a scary statistic for you. Since that legislation passed more people have died of gunshots in the US! And my lucky red shirt prevents bear attacks with a 100% success rate!
Now *there's* a word that I don't think any of the students in question, their teachers, and 90% of slashdot understands.
Many people think freedom of speach means freedom to say and do what you want without repercussions for their actions.
It's like when the Dixie Chicks were suddenly facing boycotts for renouncing the president in Germany. They complained how it was their *right* to do so and that their rights were being limited. They were just unhappy at their fans who were using *their* rights to free speach as well.
Your post points out a major problem with most polls. They are almost always prime examples of the "false dilemma" fallacy. You're only given X options, when there are Y or Z options, and others that are not listed. Or yes/no questions are asked where there is no yes/no solution.
Seriously. A guy could wear a mask, hold a jacket over his head, etc. But this (crappy) patent is a rights violation how? I should think the "tinfoil hat brigade" would love such an item if it worked for all cameras...
Like with the Mac Mini itself, the prices are the same in dollars and euros - which considering that the euro is worth 1.3 $ and taking into account the 20% value-added tax, means we are still ripped of by 10%...
Out of curiosity, does that include sales tax as well?
Portage *was* modelled after the ports system (as well as apt from Debian). I wasn't trying to insult the BSD stuff. I just get sick of the Mac OS X zealots in here ("Get a Mac!" - the solution to everything apparently).
However, I do disagree that ports is better than portage. I ran FBSD for some time, and I had more issues upgrading and updating ports than upgrading and updating any other system (up2date, apt, portage).
At first I *loved* ports. It was simple, elegant, and compiled from source. However, as time went on, whenever I ran "portupdate -ra" (or whatever the command was) I hit a slew of dependency problems (typically of the sort involving obscolete dependencies). It was a nightmare to maintain for me. I never found adequate documentation for how to deal with it (most seemed to assume I already knew what I was doing).
'course this is all personal experience, and not meant to be a diatribe against *BSD. I just think that ports had some serious usability issues from a standpoint of updating/upgrading (mebbe things have changed?). Portage, on the other hand, makes this rather easy. And has all the things about ports that I liked.
I find it amazing that an Ask Slashdot could ask "Does anybody know how to grow carrots" and a moron posting "Install MacOS X" or "Get a Mac" gets modded up...
Yes, that's right disciples of Jobs. I'm talking about *you*.
But Blizzard is in a different situation. What if a hard-drive crash causes something somebody paid lots of money for to disappear? Topps doesn't have to worry about such things...
Slashdot Mirror
Well, given that the statement was made in an order to DENY IBM's 10th motion, I think I know how SCO will spin this...
They'll just ignore that statement. "IBM's 10th motion denied! Judge see's SCO's clearly going to win!"
He (Saddam) did though. He used them, remember? There was never a question as to whether he *had* them at some time in the last 10 years. Just whether he *still* had them.
FYI: The slashdot "hive mind" doesn't like having its weaknesses pointed out. Beware the trolls and the mods...
Excellent point though. I wish I had points to give this post.
Off toipic, that's not such a bad idea.
Quite often community involvement is the best way to clean up certain neighborhoods.
Where are these mythical people who automatically engage in "endless ranting and raving" protests against anything involved with nuclear energy?
I believe these are the people you're looking for (scroll down a bit).

Guns are banned there, and I hear it's a real crime free utopia, compared to the killing fields of Vermont.
:-)
*rofl*
Fan-tastic.
Aside (and further off-topic): It's amazing how such a "blue" state has such little gun laws.
I guess it's sort of like "clock speed." Sure, it's accurate and honest. But doesn't mean a whole lot.
That is the one thing that pisses me off the most about Java...
No operator overloading! Oh, except for String. I guess we can make *an exception for one class*.
"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican party. An elephant and a bit fat white guy who's afraid of change."
Yes, very conservative... But the show doesn't pander. I think you're reading a bit too much into it. They pretty much insult everybody.
If you believe that, then I have a scary statistic for you. Since that legislation passed more people have died of gunshots in the US! And my lucky red shirt prevents bear attacks with a 100% success rate!

I take these with a grain of salt...
Wow. The only thing more upsetting than the poll is a post like this.
What a moron.
Wow man. That's like... Deep and stuff.
Puff another one and get back to gym before they realize you didn't go to the nurse.
Think of all the ones that currently do! With the perp wearing a ski mask!
Best post I've seen so far...

Install "cygwin" on her machine sometime. Then you can ssh to it...

But once you've installed MacOS X, be sure to put Gentoo Portage on it to make it usable!
Hah! I counter your zealotry with my own!
portage also works on Free and Open BSD I believe...
Any idea how to bring UP an interface under Windows without assigning it an IP address? I've been trying to figure out how to do this lately.
The equivilent of "ifconfig eth0 up" (no IP assigned).
What really makes me sad is the knowledge that many people today have never even seen a rotary phone, let alone used one.
It makes me sad when people feel superior for being older. Seriously. Have you ever used an abacus? Washed your clothes on a washboard?
People not having used obscolete technology is called "progress" not "sad."
