Serious Question About Melting Servers (Score:1)
I mean from my experience a cpu can only worky as hard as it was made to. I mean 100% of the cpu would be utilized and it would run a little hot. It doesn't suddenly operate at 130%-200% through dynamic overclocking (as far as i know that doesn't exist) or something of that sort. You would just busy up the server and everything would run really slowly.

Harsh way of putting it, for sure, but you get the point. These things that happen to the US are horrible, horrible tragedies, yes, but i didn't see anyone in the United States skip a beat when the above things happened to other people. Many Americans have this kind of superiority complex, where they think they are the centre of the Universe, and that everybody else in the world should feel sorry for them whenever they are "picked on".

Could you explain to me how you so conveniently leave out communist and other totalitarian atrocities, which are in much greater numbers? Not to mention the fact that some of the casualties you do list are questionable as being labeled genocide. The only reason I can see for this perversly skewed selection is that you hate democracy and the western world and want anything else to take its place. If you had listed a more balanced tally, it would have been interesting.
As it stands now it is just an attempt to induce emotional responses in people in line with some anti lberal, anti democrat sentiment, in the hope that the slashdot readership will only look at your info. Maybe it worked with poor peasants in North Korea who did not have the freedom of information to find out these things for themselves, but thankfully we can all get ourselves a more balanced view of the world than from the obvious troll that is the parent of this post.
It's pretty sickening to see somebody use other peoples death and suffering as an excuse for peddling the death camp of totalitarianism, which is by omission and obvious bias, what your post does.

What a load of horseshit. I'd love to see your sources (and no, The Guardian and The Independent don't fucking cut it). Yeah, the Israelis have made their share of costly mistakes, but this is plain ridiculous. What, they killed more Palestinians than the atomic bomb? Riiight. And WTF is up with the Vietnam - takeover failure business? What, it was all about oil or something? I guess everybody was _so_ much better off under Communist rule. Or perhaps you learned your history from Noam Chomsky (only).
And you didn't see anyone in the US skip a beat did you? I mean, you _have_ heard about this thing we like to call 'the left', right? The Americans may be self-centered or arrogant, but I'm not sure how that excuses the sort of despicable statements you're making.
I don't mind getting modded down for this (which I know I will be), I just wish people would address the actual points I made (I can just see the European responses now: "Points you made? You, sir, are an idiot. Americans/Jews must die"). And once again, Arab News articles and other racist state propaganda are _not_ acceptable sources.
And don't even get me started on the Americans being the 'real' racists; whoever sincerely believes that obviously hasn't travelled very widely. I mean fuck, am I the only one who gives a shit about womens rights? Or how about human rights? Does no one else reaise 'human rights violations' doesn't mean 'human rights violations commited by Israelis"? No wonder the Americans are running the world -- everybody else's brain seems to have turned to mush all of a sudden.

And yes, i agree with you; the WTC jokes are really tasteless, and totally unnecessary. Despite the fact that it's kind of been blown out of proportion by the media/government, it was still a horrible act of violence, and people (especially families of the victims) don't need to see that.

And for the record, i'm neither a liberal nor a conservative, i fall somewhere inbetween. I'm the first person to insult either side, and while i'm not a politician, and i don't play one on television, i think some of the things that the United States (and other countries, of course, but my post was in reply to a person who appears (from my perspective) to be one of the "oh no the United States is getting picked on, let's all change our way of life" people", so i'm keeping to the topic of the US) do are just plain against common sence. (Yeah, that was a big parenthetical explanation, sorry, but i don't want people to get the wrong idea about me again. :/ )
So anyway, i'm sorry if those numbers offended people; i used them strictly for making a point that the world is a bigger place than the United States. Insert any other numbers in there if you want, the places/events/exact numbers/etc., don't matter.
