Norman Scwarcskopf said on the _eve_ of Desert Storm, vis-a-vis studio-chair-military-analysts:

``At this point if you are still talking battle tactics you don't know what you're doing, and are in serious trouble! After the planning is done all that's left to do, and what matters is logistics, logistics, logistics.''

Tell that to AQ in Iraq. Or the VC. Modern armies are so passe to many these days. Caveat poster.

Acer: Windows 8 on ARM performance "isn't great"->

Submitted by

Barence writes "Acer says it has no plans to launch Windows 8 laptops based on ARM processors, after claiming performance "isn't great".

Acer is planning to launch a series of Ultrabooks and laptops after the release of Windows 8, but says it won't be using ARM for any non-tablet devices because the performance isn't up to scratch. "According to engineer studies, unless we go into ARM 64-bit, otherwise performance is still not so great," said Acer chairman J.T. Wang. "ARM is a newcomer, young and attractive but it takes some time.""

California is failing to protect itself from liberals. They are their own worst enemy. Enron was just a scape goat because Cali decided to not be energy self-sufficient in the first place. As a state, you cannot just push the problems to others and then expect it to not be your fault. I'm sorry, but that concept needs to be beaten into the heads of every man, women, and child on Earth regardless of nationality.

What evidence is there that porn is bad for children?

I don't know about children. They may find it intriguing if downright disgusting (ewww, nasty). Teen males OTOH can develop a warped and twisted sense of what's expected out of women. While it would seem obvious there's a distinction between fantasy and reality, pornography does act as a behavior modifier for many with a habit. So while it's not the end of the world, it's not socially healthy either. The same goes for teen and adult women. Their "porn" is not visual, but mental. I direct your attention to romance novels in this case.

Ah, the Tsar's bazaar's bizarre beaux-arts!
