Your tax dollars are now being used to bulldoze idealistic 23 years-old girls from Olympia to death.
I guess people will get used to this way of answering idealism.
Maybe the reason fish are speaking in New York state is that people want the end of the world to happen? Does it make them feel important when they're there to see it, and to help it along?
By the "end of the world" I mean, of course, the mass killing of civilians by the United States. It's important to conceive of war crimes as being "inevitable" just because some maniac millionaires will personally profit from it. It's actually the begining of the world, not the end -- what world?
I guess it's not hard to get used to bulldozing girls. Get used to unprovoked invasions of foreign countries. Get used to detainees who never get trials. You get used to it.
The largest and most unified and peaceful anti-war protests in the history of the earth have produced this reaction in our leaders: Fuck you. I'm going to kill whoever I like. You're damn lucky you live in a country where it’s hard to just kill you for speaking your mind, because that’s what we’d like to do to you.
Sitting in the coffee shop on Ave. A before going to work this morning. People dressed sharply for their work day.
Carpet bombing of civilians.
Maybe there's some intrigue or gossip at work.
Destruction of water systems, food distribution, and communications.
Maybe people aren’t working or are working part time or have artistic goals they are trying to achieve.
Backing the bulldozer up over the body of the 23 year old girl after running her over once.
On the stereo they played a nice Indie-rock ballad I didn't recognize. I had an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and a large coffee.
"The mother of all bombs."
Rachel Corrie was working on wells for drinking water.
Maybe the talking fish in New Square was really protesting the war. Maybe he knew about the well water -- maybe he understood that working on water systems was a good use of one's energy and resources -- unlike the production of depleted uranium weapons.
Fish know the importance of water after all.
The guy injured himself trying to kill this fish.
I wonder who ate the fish.

At the same time I emphasis that NEITHER side is innocent. In this conflict you can't pin it on one side. Israel is in fact only there because it is land they took while defending themselves, but at the same time they should not be populating those areas.
So, that being said that I am not totally in agreement with the US's blind helping of Israel, I think both sides of the story must be acknowledge.

Note that I do not make this as an excuse for this terrible incident.

And the answer is, simply enough, addressing. When you create new space in the heap to hold your data, you get back an address that tells you where your new space is, so your bits can move in. This address is called a Pointer, and it's really just a hexadecimal number that points to a location in the heap. Since it's really just a number, it can be stored quite nicely into a variable.
Posted by: Salamon on January 19, 2004 04:35 AMOur next line looks familiar, except it starts with an asterisk. Again, we're using the star operator, and noting that this variable we're working with is a pointer. If we didn't, the computer would try to put the results of the right hand side of this statement (which evaluates to 6) into the pointer, overriding the value we need in the pointer, which is an address. This way, the computer knows to put the data not in the pointer, but into the place the pointer points to, which is in the Heap. So after this line, our int is living happily in the Heap, storing a value of 6, and our pointer tells us where that data is living.
Posted by: Faith on January 19, 2004 04:36 AMThis is another function provided for dealing with the heap. After you've created some space in the Heap, it's yours until you let go of it. When your program is done using it, you have to explicitly tell the computer that you don't need it anymore or the computer will save it for your future use (or until your program quits, when it knows you won't be needing the memory anymore). The call to simply tells the computer that you had this space, but you're done and the memory can be freed for use by something else later on.
