Just putting some of the parent-post's rebuttal statements in perspective. India is self sufficient as regards food grains and does export a lot of food products. Note that the link contains more recent stats..

The Expansionism link is from a website which is a mouthpiece of the for the ultra left and rebellious Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), which has been known to spread propagandist statements against India (and the US!!).

Cray computers: Never happened.
US did refuse to give India Cray super computers and we invented the Param supercomputer to do the same job in much cheaper and more efficient manner. Hell, I had classmates in undergrad who worked on many of the projects to develop Param and its successors.

It takes a lot more than a technological accomplishment in design to compete with the likes of Boeing and Airbus.
But its definitely a start. Something similar happened in the Pharma industry 15-20 years back. But Indian pharma companies are beginning to compete with American pharma giants in their own markets due to technologies and expertise they developed.

Public healthcare in India is lacking, but as was the original posters claim, there is still FREE public healthcare available to the common man. Hopefully, as India as a country matures and becomes richer, the quality of healthcare will improve.

However your 'facts' and arguments are completely false.
Not quite...See above.

I know the stock Markets are doing well world-wide, but here is what BBC caried on India's Economy yesterday.

Boom time for India's economy

India's economy has joined the ranks of the world's fastest growing economies, official figures show. The economy expanded at a scorching 8.6% between July and September.

And here is an article from yesterday's NY Times ... Indian Soybean Farmers Join the Global Village

At least once a day in this village of 2,500 people, Ravi Sham Choudhry turns on the computer in his front room and logs in to the Web site of the Chicago Board of Trade. He has the dirt of a farmer under his fingernails and pecks slowly at the keys. But he knows what he wants: the prices for soybean commodity futures.

The concept is the e-choupal, taken from the Hindi word for village square, or gathering place. The twist is the "e": providing a computer and Internet connections for farmers to gather around. E-choupal allows the farmers to check both futures prices across the globe and local prices before going to market. It gives them access to local weather conditions, soil-testing techniques and other expert knowledge that will increase their productivity.

Interesting that WebTV is so honored, because the co-founder of the company, Phillip Y. Goldman, died this week at 39.

Piracy: Studios Fight Piracy With Education

The text actually states that the MPAA is using lawsuits as a method for protecting their interests because "few in Hollywood are confident that such [technological] approaches can stop piracy in the long run". So instead of using available technology to protects these movies and other media, they continue business as usual on the product front and step up the lawsuit front to deal with their lack of innovation.

This is entirely on-topic.

This story was in the NYTimes Dec 18th: NYTimes article - costs money to read now in their Circuits section.

When I wrote about giving the Sitting President 2 minutes for Debating and 4 minutes for boxing, I wasn't referring to the 2000 Debates. What I meant was current and

From the NY Times

As he enters the final year of President Bush's current term in office, while refusing to address the question of whether he would serve during a second term, Mr. Powell says, however, that he is more determined than ever to counter the perception that diplomacy in general - and his own role in particular - have been marginalized in an administration obsessed with war and terrorism.

force the closing of a satire web site that takes aim at the new unelected Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin.

Reminds me of another recent happening. Coincidence ? Consider the following ...

New Prime Minister - Paul Martin - Is Steering Canada Cautiously to the Right

The trend in Ottawa is already more businesslike and conservative - friendlier to the United States and to the Canadian military. Now as Paul Martin assembles his government and prepares for national elections early next year, Mr. Martin is carefully leaning to the right.

• He appointed David Pratt, a member of Parliament who urged the previous government to join the invasion of Iraq, as defense minister. (Canada did not join the invasion) Mr. Pratt is expected to be an articulate advocate for increasing the military budget.
• He has created a public safety super-ministry to coordinate security policy and planning among several ministries and to consult more closely with the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• "Our No. 1 priority is health care," Mr. Martin said this week. (Medicare anyone?)

Angry Copps accuses Martin of shift to right

Copps agreed with a recent New York Times editorial that said Canada's new leader had adopted a more conservative position

"The great thing about being a Liberal used to be that you'd have wonderful arguments and then you'd come together as a team and everybody would pull together," said Copps. "If you had a different point of view, you were not persona non grata." But that tone has changed quickly under Martin's stewardship, she said. "At this point it doesn't seem that there is a lot of room on his team for voices of dissent."

They seem to read LKML, at least.

But Mr. Torvalds is also clearly angered by SCO's accusation that much of Linux was merely copied. "In short," Mr. Torvalds said, "for the files where I personally checked the history, I can definitely say that those files were trivially written by me personally, with no copying from any Unix code, ever.

"I can show, and SCO should have been able to see, that the list they show clearly shows original work, not copied."

[Emphasis mine] Darl C. McBride, the chief executive of SCO, said he stood by the company's assertions. He said that a Linux expert who will testify in the SCO suit against I.B.M., which was filed last March, went over the code closely. "As a social revolutionary, Linus Torvalds is a genius," Mr. McBride said. "But at the speed the Linux project has gone forward something gets lost along the way in terms of care with intellectual property."

GANDALF: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I know out there, there's a guy getting on with his life, perfectly happily, minding his own business, saying to you, the political leaders of this country, "Why me, and why us, and why America?" And the only answer is because destiny put you in this place in history in this moment in time, and the task is yours to do.

No? See the NYTimes article , where Snotty is quoted as saying this:

Messing with us is a big mistake," he said. "The more press I get, even bad press, the bigger we get.

Due to opposing strongly worded langued in UN resolutions as a policy of US Containment which led the US to sidestep the UN and take decisive, principled action. Action that effectively weakened the UN and France & Germany's political standing.

To France, Iraq was merely a political opportunity. Read this article to get a rather blunt interpretaion of France and the UN's "contribution" to the IRaq problem

The site selection has nothing to do with anyone's position on Iraq or else France would have the support of the other countries as well. As it stands, they only have the support of the EU for typical reasons.

I don't think there's been any significant change regarding the emphasis on continously growing profits over time.

All you are doing is causing your audience to educate themselves. Once everyone understands how wrong you are your stock price will suffer. Hmmm, suddenly when I think about it - you might in fact be doing us all a favor.

After all is said and done, all that may happen is that SCO's stock price may suffer ? Really, is this Just enough ? Will Justice have been served after all the mayhem that has been created ?

Borrowing from Friedman in NYTimes

... the image that comes to mind is that famous scene in the movie "The Shining" where Jack Nicholson, playing a crazed author, tries to kill his wife, played by Shelley Duvall, who's hiding in the bathroom. As Ms. Duvall cowers behind the locked bathroom door, Mr. Nicholson takes an ax, smashes it through the door, and with a look of cheery madness peers through the splintered wood and announces, "Heeeere's Johnny."

And the analogy would be that after all this Johnny's book doesn't sell well in the market. Other than that his life goes on ....

I am all for a little poetic justice .... How about adopting a little from What The Onion had in store for the Gigli Stars and dish it out to Darl, SCO, and all the members in their Axis ....

To quote from the Onion Story .... Focus groups at advance screenings for Gigli, a romantic comedy starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez set to open nationwide July 30, have demanded a new ending in which both stars die "in as brutal a manner as possible," sources at Sony Pictures said Tuesday.

Their machine is an adaptation of the box kite idea, with a propeller working on a perpendicular shaft to raise or lower the craft, and another working on a horizontal shaft to send it forward. The machine, it is said, can be raised or lowered with perfect control, and can carry a strong gasoline engine capable of making a speed of ten miles an hour.

There is an excellent article in the NYtimes about this anniversary that talks about who was first in what. The last paragraph is enlightening regarding the danger of patents:

In the end, the advance they made in flight technology was quickly squandered. European aviators lost little time in following the Wrights into the air. The brothers did receive a patent on their stabilization system in 1906, and they spent years trying to enforce it on both sides of the Atlantic. They were particularly zealous in going after American infringers - and the divisive, protracted court battles may have slowed down the commercialization of the plane on this side of the Atlantic. As one government official in 1917 put it, the brothers' lawsuits caused the country to fall "from first place to last of all the great nations in the air" - not exactly the stuff of legends.

Neocon, your points on England, the Netherlands, and Denmark, compare civil penalties, restrictions, and impositions to criminal imprisonment. I agree that prior restraint, restrictions and impositions on the practice of journalism, and warrantless searches are bad, but who thinks that they are anywhere near as bad as the U.S. pandering to powerful prison guard unions resulting in mandatory minimum sentencing fiascos?

From the July 2000 report, Poor Prescription: The Costs of Imprisoning Drug Offenders in the United States:

Nearly one in four persons (23.7%) imprisoned in the United States is currently imprisoned for a drug offense. The number of persons behind bars for drug offenses (458,131) is roughly the same as the entire prison and jail population in 1980 (474,368).

From a utilitarian perspective, this situation is pointless because as far as I can tell, both prescription and illicit drugs are as available now as they were in 1980. And crime rates in general are within 20% of 1980 levels -- but we have four times as many people in prison! Does that trend lead you to believe that we are becoming more or less free?

For what reason do you suggest that prior restraint and the Official Secrets Act make people less free than mandatory minimum drug sentences? You can compare the two by simply determining whether the other nations in question have a greater proportion of people in prison for violations of the laws you cite. There is no greater loss of freedom experienced in the industrialized world than to be put in prison, save for execution (which, of those countries, is only practiced in the U.S., by the way.) To compare imprisonment to restrictions on freedom of speech resulting in civil penalties, or even warrantless searches, is simply absurd. I'll agree that we are more free in some ways, but nowhere near the most free overall.

DEMOCRACY:

``disqualification of voters'': this accusation ... is nothing more than FUD -- extensive investigations by a number of groups have failed to turn up any significant number of people who were disqualified from voting who were not, in fact felons.

Not according to:

• John Ashcroft's Justice Department
• The New York Times, contrary to your assertion
• The United States Civil Rights Commission -- excerpt:

  Estimates indicate that approximately 14.4 percent of Florida's black voters cast ballots that were rejected. This compares with approximately 1.6 percent of nonblack Florida voters who did not have their presidential votes counted.

• direct inspection of the database tables used

of the nations you name, only one, Australia, uses anything resembling preferential voting of any sort, as you can verify at the Center for Voting and Democracy. Other than them, only Ireland, Malta, and Nauru, in all the world, use any form of such voting. Secondly, this system does not, as you seem to think, necessarily result in a `more democratic' outcome.

While you are technically correct about Austrailia, the systems in use in Canada and Brazil, and parts of England, e.g., the metropolitan London area, and France, also serve to eliminate the spoiler effect. Without the spoiler effect, Ross Perot would not have kept G.H.W. Bush from being re-elected, so this cuts both ways. Any nation incompetent enough to eliminate the spoiler effect, so easily done, is centuries behind in democracy.

POVERTY:

There's a story about this in the business section of the New York Times today. Google link.

For those who haven't read the article (from the looks of things, everyone, including the person who posted the link): the billboards only detect what radio tuners are being tuned to over periods of time. It's up to the owner of the billboard to aggregate the raw data and decide what ads should go up when. As amusing as it sounds, you can't play twiddle-the-billboard by spinning the dial continuously. Remember, marketers still want themselves to control what you see. Maybe you could frustrate the system by leaving your radio on quietly and tuned to silence/static as you go by, but that's probably about it.

Actually, that's not true. See this NYT story.

I quote:

"A round trip to Mars would be of a different order of magnitude. Brookhaven puts the exposure at 130,000 millirem over two and a half years. That is equivalent to almost 400 years of natural exposure."

General conclusion: Nobody knows how that much radiation will affect a Mars mission.

At least now maybe we'll stop hearing about WMD's.

It's conclusive now boys and girls: THERE WERE NO WMD's!

It should have been obvious that night when the last U.N. inspectors lifted off from Baghdad that no WMD's were in country, but now any and all doubt has been dispelled.

Saddam Hussein was never in violation of U.N. resolutions prohibiting manufacture of WMD's.

George Bush lied so that we could invade Iraq.

George Bush is the war criminal, not Saddam Hussein.

On that note, is anybody else wondering why it is we took Saddam alive? Why, with all of our corrupt dealings with Iraq, we'd risk putting the man on trial?

It's because we've just established a precedent for controlling what the people get to see and hear from testimony given in war crimes tribunals.
