Genocide is almost never the conclusion of a war. If genocide is involved war is mostly a pretext for the Powers That Be to able to start genocide. There was no extermination of Germans, Japanese or Italians at the end of WWII, nor was there at the end of WWI. German (and other) war mongerers had a good shot at exterminating all jews in Europe, but they did not wage a war against them. The genocide was possible because of the 'fog of war' that made it hard for moderate forces in and outside Germany to see what was going on, exactly, and - when they found out - had their hands full on with other business, i.e. fighting a war.

The father of a friend of mine had an Apple /// and it never overheated. I doubt any Apple /// would ever overheat. We opened it once, the case was filled around 20 percent. Yes, he also had the vcr-sized harddisk 8Mb in size. This was expensive shit BTW. Also, how hot can a 3Mhz CPu run?

No, it's not. With selective breeding you can never go outside of the scope of the accumulation of genetical variety available in the species your breeding with. You cannot breed dogs that produce poisonous bites by just interbreeding different type of dogs, the genetical material needed to be able to allow for a poisonous bite just isn't there. Theoretically dogs could in the long run, through spontaneous genetical mutation acquire such features, but that's outside the scope of breeding of dogs.
If you would start genetically modifying dogs with genetical material alien to dogs, say poisonous snakes, you actually could produce such poisonous dogs, given enough perseverence and research. Genetically modifying creatures is in essence engineering, working from the specfications of features of the creature up to a design. Selective Breeding is bricolage, using whatever is at hand to meet a goal that's changing along with the process.

How is 5 volts able to kill someone. I read the article from your link. And it states that 30V is the threshold over which somebody could get killed in very unfavorable conditions, among other the current would have to be AC 50/60 Hz. I expect this wireless mat to deliver 5 W DC.

Unless he owns a mac and learns to program with NodeBox. Instant gratification, jeez, I wish I was 12 again, if only to be able to use this stuff.

This is a joke, right? I tried to run a X server over an ISDN phoneline 15 years ago and it was unusably slow. That was the time a found out a little progam existed that was called vnc. VNC wasn't fast, but workable.

Hmm, I don't know. The scene shows vast numbers of citizen getting shot by a group of 3 or 4 people. When the exit the building containing all the civilians they continue to slaughter what seem to me police anti-terrorist squads or military special forces units. I don't know any terrorist incident, where

• terrorists operated in units of 3 or 4 shooting civilians outoors

• made so many victims

• Killed special forces in vast numbers

The Pakistani Terrorists that shot semi-random people (apparantly they tried to shoot mostly westerners) acted simultaneously, but solitary. They didn't shoot any special forces or government officials for that matter. The beslan killers in Southern Russia made hostages first, keeping special forces at arms length. They executed a few hostages, but hey only started shooting hostages in droves when the special forces started doing the exact same thing. This happened in the confinement of a building. The NordOst shootout in Moscow was also a hostage scene inside a building and developed along the same scenario. Of course, bombing is also a completely different scenario, where you have a good chance of making a fair number of victims. Probably that doesn't add up to very exciting video games.

Making a fair number of victims by shooting random people in a non-confined environment is actually very hard, let alone shooting special forces outdoors.

so live it up! The world may be a grim place, but not THAT grim (unless you enjoy slaughtering people in vast numbers in bright daylight, of course).

Too Elaborate. Just plug an ethernet cable in the same switch with both connectors: partytime.

I don't get it. Buying a X serve doesn't undo the GPL for the GPL'ed stuff that Apple uses (like PHP), does it? It just means some stuff is proprietary (like the OSX kernel) running with a lot of GPL stuff on top of it.

Theoretically this would be true for books also. In reality I'm very glad that people who design book layouts think otherwise. It's partly because of the awful graphic quality of most web contributions that you don't want to read book length texts online.
