I don't think either of you can truly appreciate the distinction between kernel-mode software and user-mode software. User-mode still exists when things go wrong. That's called "your kernel having actually booted up and started running init scripts."

This is wrong. Lysergic acid diethylamide is broken down by monoamineoxidase. This is just like the myth of LSD being stored in your spinal fluid and causing flashbacks or the one of THC being stored in your fat and getting you high when you exercise -- completely baseless.

More like: expect the Zetas to bring things here. You follow the McAfee story at all? He's trying to expose the scandal of it all....

The cynic in me says, yes, of course these are official exercises. These are official exercises to see how quickly the public can react to martial law being enacted, not exercises to determine if people can perform helicopter dogfights well.

Helicopters are really air-to-ground attack platforms. Air-to-air-defense would be nominally supplied by fighter jets. The harsh reality of cognitive dissonance says most people will blindly believe whatever makes them feel the most secure.

With a Galaxy Note 2, you just pull out the stylus and start writing. You do have to turn on the setting that enables a new S Note window to pop up when you remove the pen. As a nice bonus, it works without unlocking, too.

I just spent a week in the Tokyo area and a week in Kansai (the South) and don't agree. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial alone is enough to see that Japan only suffers America's fascist tendrils quite begrudgingly. Most people in the Tokyo region seem to have a general disdain for American foreigners. Osaka embraces American culture but still feels far more Japanese than it does American.

Talk about infancy... what a twatwaddle.

I don't think my phone is ever "Idle" when I have the "Sync" setting turned on and Gmail accounts set up.

this is EXACTLY the sort of reason I always have thrown my chips in with FreeBSD, not Linux.

Government projects like that tend NOT to use libraries and so not get benefit from a more popular language either.

I use both, regularly, depending on the language.

*insert joke here about 228 and weight*

I would say it's more like the decoy is a crowd-control summon.

Excuse me, what? How does a web application framework like Ruby on Rails try to automate nearly everything for the developer? Are you basing your opinion on it on trade materials?

What a retarded waste of resources. A media circus helps no one. The for-profit medical industry in this country isn't meant to help anyone get better if more profit could be squeezed out by keeping them just barely happy and not ever getting better. This is most especially true for mental healthcare.
