All too true. But not everyone hates people because of their race. Also, for extended periods this hatred is countermanded by other -- more positive human tendencies -- such as tolerance, inclusiveness, solidarity based on other parts of our common humanity, and basic human decency. The challenge is to create situations where these other more positive aspects of human nature assert themselves over our baser instincts.
While I generally agree, I think random surfing on a high speed link (in cabin wifi) would be neat. It could also be quiet, as long as people don't enable VoIP applications while in the air.
That would be a nightmare!
I think that his point can be extended further to say that governments are not responsible (per se) to consumers, but they are accountable to *citizens*. Our preferences in the pursuit of happiness do not necessarily require that we always do what is best for corporations.
Well, pardon him for departing from your standards of perfection. I for one don't fault him for accepting an award that he so obviously deserves.
History notwithstanding, being knighted is a high honor (honour!) for a Brit.
I say congratulations to him.
My "favorite" gift was a red club monaco sweatshirt.
This after I flew home from grad school wanting to "be with the folks."
The shirt is still with me. The folks still exist as well... but I am now in another country.
Symptoms of deeper family problems are difficult to shed during the holidays.
Well, I *do* live in Virginia - - and this is one of the greatest things to happen at a publically funded University in years!
Great science, ingenuity, huge potential.
Now *that* is why public funding is an essential part of R&D.

Many, if not all, Third World countries are adopting cellular as a cheap alternative to a land-line infrastructure. Countries as "poor" as India, Pakistan and Iraq (to pick three easy examples) have (or had) extensive cellular infrastructures. The one in Iraq even expanded under 12 years of UN sanctions.
As such, populations without cellular coverage are likely to get harder and harder to find.
I agree with this. Given the EULA claim that software is *not* certified for use in applications such as life-threatening situations, why did due-diligence not prevent this application from being approved. I also think, however, that this is not a network administrator problem. It is a legal counsel problem, and a CEO problem. How, after all, did a nuclear powerplant escape segregating its key security functions from a publically connected network. Have they never heard of air-gaps?!
These are the same people who never want regulations telling them what to do. No, voluntarism is always to be preferred.
How about penalties for dumb mistakes like this one.
Fines and public ridicule have a wonderful way of concentrating stubborn minds.

But your suggestion has the problem that it would actually work!
What about the lost profits of Diebold and company?
What are you, some kind of communist?:)
As is clearly indicated on the site, you can download a windows media or realplayer version of the show. thw wmv file is 36.1 mb -- but it is viewable.
I am in the Washington DC area, and I saw the show.
Go to http://www.aximsite.com, and check one of the forums. The upgrade went on sale last week, and is scheduled to ship in the third week of July for $29.99 + shipping. If you bought your Axim in the last 30 days, the upgrade may be free.
Or, look at the chaos in places where large numbers of small arms are owned by "the people" -- Iraq and Liberia are two *good* examples.
There must be a better way....

This is the scariest thing I have seen in weeks. I hope it is a joke. The Creation Vs. Evolution bit was the truly chiling piece! Yikes!!! D

On the same token , we are now *celebrating* season XI of "JAG". As the decline of western civilization accelerates..... D

I believe the saying was actually by the Spanish referring to Mexico: "Poor Mexico: so far from God, so close to the United States."
You are correct, of course. But, *Egyption*? :)

OK, but indicted doesn't mean in custody. How many convictions with hard federal prison time have been achieved on the Enron case? D
I completely agree. Given history, I wonder how many other societies would have been so relatively restrained. D
