Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

Cont'd with overlap....

And, if after 25,000 posts, this empty wandering rhetoric
is the best you have to offer by way of explanation, you do
nothing but further strengthen my initial assessment of your
“work," ‘using’ NYT forums.

truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have
done and worked for on this thread.
Cantabb quotes me just above:
Here's a fact - a fact that isn't so
important to know if explosive fighting without end is the
objective - but a fact that is important to know if stable
resolutions that pass reasonable tests of fairness are to be
achieved.
cantabb says: "NOT a fact. Just a naïve platitude"
How would you check something like that? How does
one get closure on something like that?
Cantabb, if you think that doesn't matter - I
think you're being criminally irresponsible.
If the NYT doesn't care about statements like that - many
of their editorials don't make much sense. I think many at the
NYT do care -or this thread wouldn't go on.
Some decisions about this thread seem to have been made -
if one wants to judge on statistical grounds. http://www.mrshowalter.net/Sequential.htm
There are some good searches of this thread - and I think a
search with keywords "nash and game" fits here.
If the basic rule is
. I am a NYT writer I'm judge,
jury and executioner
- that's shameful - for you, and for the New York Times -
if, as I suspect, they pay your salary. I don't think the New
York Times, as an institution, deserves that. My guess is that
"the average reader of the New York Times" would
disapprove, and be ashamed, of that stance.

The 'nytimes' is paying 'the moniker that can't be named's
salary.
Hmmm. That explains alot.
How much are they paying him?
